★★★ MEMs LIST of GAMBLING SITES ★★★

[mem]

moderator role added and completed any would be moderators I encourage you to create accounts now.
html "good enough".
bbcode great (imho).
added all coinflip games - working my way down that list.

tomorrow:

automatic addition of sites (finally I hear site admins sigh).
Add pre-approved category (mods have approved, just waiting on the final sign off from grumpy (me)).
all that will be needed is a memslist.txt SOMEWHERE on your server containing:

Code:

name: SITENAME
email: OWNER@SITENAME.COM

An email will be fired off to you with a generated password enabling you to add all your games + nice descriptions etc (brief please) yourself.
The site and games will automatically added to pre-pending which I and other moderators can view in the lists but normal users cannot (to prevent spam & abuse).
Then after a quick inspection it will be moved to pending or "pre-approved".

on a side note: its been sad to see so many nice game sites go offline while I have been absent.

Auto scoring added, not in the bbcode but its on the website.

Im a bit tired to be explaining it all right now, but the short explanation is higher == better.

edit (fixing code):
here is the sub that generates the score:

Code:

sub auto_score
{
	# generate score
	my $r		= shift;
	my %h		= %$r;
	my $score	= 0;
	
	$score -= 2	if($h{'badge_not_pf'}			eq 'yes');
	$score -= 1 	if($h{'badge_unfriendly_admin'}		eq 'yes');
	$score -= 1	if($h{'badge_false_adds'}		eq 'yes');
	$score -= 0.5	if($h{'badge_pf_concern'}		eq 'yes');
	$score -= 1	if($h{'badge_payout_issues'}		eq 'yes');
	$score -= 2	if($h{'badge_non_responsive_admin'}	eq 'yes');
	
	$score += 0.1	if($h{'badge_progressive_jackpots'}	eq 'yes');
	$score += 0.2	if($h{'badge_provable_results'}		eq 'yes');
	$score += 0.5	if($h{'badge_friendly_admin'}		eq 'yes');
	$score += 2	if($h{'badge_pf'}			eq 'yes');
	
	$score += 0.5	if($h{'status'}				eq 'approved');
	$score += 0.25	if($h{'status'}				eq 'pre-approved');
	$score += 1	if($h{'status'}				eq 'untrustworthy');

	$score -= 5	if($h{'status'}				eq 'scam');
	$score =  0	if($h{'status'}				eq 'offline');
	# award extra points for low low house edges.
	if
	(
		$h{'badge_pf'} eq 'yes' &&
		looks_like_number($h{'house_edge'}) &&
		$h{'house_edge'} < 2
	)
	{
		$score *= (1 + ((2 - $h{'house_edge'})/2));
	}
	return sprintf("%.2f", $score) + 0;
}

also finished off the moderator code

What about adding a note/symbol for those that offer games with progressive jackpots?

Ahhh, so nice to talk to an actual gambler and not a scam operator desperately defending their scam.

Yes, yes, 100 times yes.
I love a good jackpot, definitely adding it.

Cheers, keep up with the good suggestions all.

Yes indeed, I am a gambler! 

However I'm already running a gambling experiment: a Bitcoin Raffle Lottery (with progressive jackpot and provably fair, of course).

Keep up the good work!

Cheers!

Hui, missed out on all the updates here.

First up, kudos to mem for all the amazing work you have done! ...and for taking it back up after accumulating such a backlog.  

So, here's some feedback:

Good idea to separate the concept of site and game. Makes the whole thing a lot clearer!

Tried to submit our site using http://memslist.com/list/index.pl?action=submit_site_by_url_form
we get:

Code:

Status: 500 Content-type: text/html
Software error:

error couldnt open socket 'Invalid argument'
For help, please send mail to the webmaster (webmaster@memslist.com), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

Minor comments:
In the notes for our URL, http://memslist.com/any/path/you/want/memslist.txt is confusing. Maybe use http://your.domain.com/any/path/you/want/memslist.txt ?

Thanks, I saw your activation email etc go through.

Just finished the work on the memslist.txt submission, been using satoshiroulette.com (thanks SR) as my test domain.
I'll update the description as you suggested as well, design is not really my forte but I can smash code together reasonably well so I do appreciate the feedback.

status update:

Nearly feature complete.
moderator role & site_owner roles completed.
automatic addition of new sites to pre-pending completed.

TODO:

* do phpbb auto submission & update.

SITE OWNERS YOU CAN SUBMIT YOUR OWN SITES & GAMES NOW, PLEASE USE
http://memslist.com/list/index.pl?action=submit_site_by_url_form

[mem]

just gotta do the auto submission code then I'll finish adding the last of the games in the current list.
I might fire up dreamweaver and make some nice css for the rest of the page.

Thanks for the patience and encouragement all, this has been a fun project to build.
Looking forward to reviewing the many many sites in my pending list

[mem]

added all roulette games in the list
added some more categories for games as well.

set user LuckyBit as sit_owner for http://luckyb.it via my admin powers.
The user can now edit their site details, add games for their site etc etc.

congrats to LuckyBit as well, my first user

thanks testing now.

Found a few issues which I have addressed, but now your site seems to be sending back a 404 error

Code:

<html>
<head><title>4

^ we only grab the first 512 to 1024 bytes of the file which may be upsetting your host.

[mem]

INVALID BBCODE: loop, probably unclosed tags

[mem]

and we are now using the new code on the main post.

when an admin views the game list they get a nice html textarea that can easily be copied and pasted here for updating.
auto updating the list looks tricky and I dont want to trigger the phpbb spam protection so I will leave it for now.

some bbcode todos:

coloured status (currently all are green, bit misleading).
add score
add progressive_jackpots badge (an oversight, its already on the webpage).

I'll finish off those little annoyances tomorrow then if all goes to plan I will begin reviewing sites.

Site admins, please start adding your site via the memslist.txt option and report any issues you encounter (its a WIP, seems a bit hit and miss currently).
This will allow you to add / update your game descriptions.

Hey mem,

thanks for fixing this quickly! The auto-generated BBcode looks damn nice!

Unfortuantely, we now get another error upon submission:

Code:

email '' is invalid
Please update the memslist.txt with a new email and resubmit.

Submitted URL is unchanged (http://luckyb.it/files/memslist.txt), content is:

Code:

name  LuckyBit
email support@luckyb.it
user  LuckyBit

Looks ok, no?

[Financisto]

The list looks very cool with the new code.

Now it fits perfectly when I try to load it with any browser. I had some issues before.

Good job!

[RGBKey]

You still have bitvegas on the list.

its fine, Im checking now - thanks for the feedback.

edit, if you view the source code you can see what my code has managed to fetch.
the easy solution is to remove the file size limit but I think thats a very bad idea
