To make it less a hassle allow hub owners and helpers to clear all scores with the press of a button please.

Bump, this is the only reason I don't use them.
|
This would be nice to have. Although it is possible to clear all scores in softcode using a for loop, it would be handy to have the server clear the database for you.

I have an idea. I don't know if the highscores list is handled using SQL, but I'd bet that it would be possible to handle the highscores using /database datums.

Why not just give the hub a button to reset all or some values or even modify them?

I think you're over thinking it as a whole and with the way BYOND is going "less social" you'll probably find that they may or may not be a function in the future. Creating your own score type list is simple with world.Export and a webserver with PHP or any other language which accepts GET it's also not hard to secure this either, it's been done in the past. Or use the MySQL library to push update/delete/insert commands to that and then display them on a web page. | |
I once spent the whole day clearing the hub scores using the export functions, that was fun but still only if there was an option to mass clear everything.

I guess this is the part where the administrators act like we don't need it.

Actually this should probably be the part where people who have already voiced their opinion of/made the request stay silent for a bit and patiently await the first word from the staff before jumping to conclusions.
Anyway, as for me, following some checking around on the forums -because i thought this might already be doable softcode with minimal effort and in an efficient manner- and some thinking about it, it seems this is quite a worthwhile suggestion. To allow a full wipe to be possible from the website... seems feasbile :o. | |

Yes we can.

I think it'd be a good idea to have a web-side feature to clear scores. My main concern is that I want to make sure that it's not easy for some random schmo to do if you leave your account logged in and they get at your computer.
