Unique views suggestion

[coldfix]

Dear colleagues,

I've managed to cheat the views of my topic using the TabReloader browser extension and ~15 copies of the same tab to 30k in less than 1 day. I could cheat over 1 million of views, but i didn't because it was done just for an example of this feature. I also got badges for 10, 50, 100, 200, 500 messages views.

I think those views should be counted as unique using the Cookie files information about a client session, which will give the real statistics of topic polularity and waht HPE should look more closely in hard/software development/support for those topics to not to appear.

What do you think about this suggestion?

With respect,

Alex Wolf.

P.S. I hope that i will not be banned for this because all what i have done was only for site testing and creating this topic.

Hi @coldfix ,

Thank You for the suggestion and we appreciate the time you have spent to conduct the testing on the system. The concerned team has been notified and they are looking into it.

As you have already given the feedback, we would recommend not to continue the cheats as it may lead to temporary restrictions on the profile by the auto-mods.
