General Features
- Unique 5 Point SecureVote™ Anti-Cheat Technology
- a toplist is only as good as its anti-cheat system. With this in mind, we have increased our anti-cheat technology by 500% in our latest version.
You choose the level of security you would like to enable for your toplist. We have 5 configurable settings that will help stop fraudulent voting on your topsite.
- Multiple Banners and Banner Sets -
You may now create multiple sets of static images (based of position numbers)
and also create multiple dynamic images which are generated by the server
with realtime position/votes/hits/out/rating written on them.
This feature is also useful if you would like to offer your toplist members different size static banners for vote linking to your list.
Now you can create and upload a variety of banners for your users to choose from. This will increase the amount of webmasters linking to your list if you have banners that easily fit into their site design.
