Something wrong with checker

Post by 123anddone »

i noticed serious bug with link checker, if i check for same trade with none of added links for 5 times 70% that 2 times in row or no matter trade will be active. Or if i accept trade add link check links i get trade active, saying wow he added my link but if recheck it it says that i'm only one that added link, same thing in error's i remove my link because other part did that with no notice, i check and what i see trade active recheck few time to get it not found, when checking my self and see that there are no links.

i saw it quite while ago but now i have to deal with 500+ dropped links and it annoys rechecking for more then one time.

hope this will be fixed, because i see allot of users cheating this way.

Without a trade ID and a real life example I cannot pursue this.

After playing with my own trades I was able to get 1 to do this once after about 50 tries.

I am looking into it.

On the flip side. Tell me who is using this method. I will mass check their trades and if I see they have a massive amount of them in a faked status I will ban their account(s).

TEST1

Image

Image
o he added link back but i have removed mine so something is wrong. check links again
Image
damm something is wrong, check if i remove link, yes it's removed. check again.
Image
o finally, i can stop trade.

for more prof TEST2
ok removing my link
Image
removed my link and click check links.
Image
damm i have removed my link and he also removed mine, check again.
Image
o i can stop trade.

if i would have tons of time i would be able to make you tons of examples like this.

The amount I can reproduce this activity is so small it is almost impossible.

The problem only seems to happen if 1 domain is parked and having been dropped and the other domain is on a server in an odd location.

This makes me wonder if the problem has more to do with caching. As in the bot is being served a cached page from somewhere up the stream. I have loaded and loaded page after page on trades that are normal and I cannot get this to happen. Occasionally a trade might go into error because the bot timed out. But even then it is rare. Getting a non existent trade to show as being there happens about 1 out of 50 page loads for me and I often go to 100 without it happening. This leads me to believe the problem is not widespread and it is not easily reproducible and therefore it is not going to be used as a tool to fake trades.

If anyone else can produce similar results to 123anddone please let me know.

The next time you find a trade that is doing it a lot, PM me the tradeid and don't set it to stopped... that way I can play with it too!
