Same Problem With Hosting Credits - But now I'v documented it.

Yesterday I had positive credits, I'm not sure the exact number but it doesn't matter. If you take a look at the screny below, in less than 24 hours I lost at least 4 credits. If yo check, I'm sure you'll find none of my posts were put into spam or deleted.
Ya, I know for sure yesterday i had 1 credit, and today i get on and notice -4. However, it seems the negative credits go up like 4x faster then normal credits so idk if thats part of it or not.
Ok, thanks I'll do that. And just as a side note, yesterday I made enough posts to be positive about 1.3 credits, and when I checked back again today I was down to around negative four again.
I was in for a shock 2 days ago when i found my hosting credits drop to -6 in just 2 short days and thus I started to ask around for a possible reason. One of the forum members told me that I put code without using the code tags properly and so was penalised for that. I really hope that the admin can document this matter of hosting credits properly in a guide for all hosted members to refer to as to how credits are earned and penalisations for what actions done so that we will not be bothered with rectifying this recurring problem and would rather focus on contributing to the forum and our own sites.
I didn't say you get penalized, I mentioned that a mod put the bbocde around the code that your provided, thus reducing hte credits your earn from that post. However, since it was a computinghost forum you didn't get any credits to begin with.
From you post I take it you didn't read the Trap17 Read Me because just a few lines down the topics for posting and credits are listed.
Again though it would be helpful for the admin to see some pictures of this happening, like buffalohelp mention document (screen print) this happening, the best way to do this is get a small amount of credits and then let run through and see what happens.
Thanks for your help. I can be patient, I hope my userbase can be too XD

Ok, so I submitted a ticket to support, and eventually told that they would get bakc to me because they needed to talk to OpaQue. So I waited and two days later the ticket closed due to inactivity. I talked to BuffaloHelp, and he suggested that I re-submit the ticket, which I did. This time I got no response at all before the ticket closed. Can anyone tell me what I should do about my credit problem now?
When you get to 0 on your hosting credits, It thought that is when they will go automatically to -4.00. Because it says to restore your hosting account, you need to have 4 credits to Un-suspend your account, and a user is un-suspended when they have more than three hosting credits(Look at DeM0nFiRe's picture in the first post). So isnt that why they go to negative four? Anyway, I always found I get in the positives with one post after this happens(Which was only a couple of times )
Perhaps the hosting credit system does go from 0 to -4 to suspend an account. That would explain why OpaQue set the hosting credit so that when you are in the negatives even a short post earns huge hosting credits...
But since OpaQue is close guarding the source of the script, I wouldn't have a clue--just my speculations and its functions.
From a test, yes it does seem to go to 0 then to -4 in just a day. I think its because you need to get 4 credits like stated before. However, I tested it for another day, and it does go down normal from that. I guess that is probably the way it works. As I think about it more now, if you think, when your first joined you have 0 credits right? Once you get hosting you start out with 0 credits right? If you start hosting and have 0 credits, it would count as already suspended. Maybe that is why OpaQue set it to go down to -4 credits after 0, just so you have to get to 0 credits again, for the thing to get un-suspended. I guess that kinda makes sense in my head.
Ok, but that still doesn't help me. I was told that none of my posts got moved to spam or deleted (since then I've had a couple, though) I'm kinda wondering what keeps happening to my credits.
You will be penalized heavily if your post is deleted. This announcement was made aware time and time again in the Alerts and Notices section. Furthermore, if you reply to a spam topic and that topic is deleted, you will also be penalized as well. And thus, we have the REPORT feature. Again, made aware in Alerts and Notices section. But this should be the basic understanding of hosting credits.
This reply and the previous post are going off from this main topic. Any member would like to discuss moderated posts, please PM a moderator.
I have a question about this myself. Yesterday I had 2 credits, and today im down to -16.
Now, yesterday I made some large topics and got 10 credits for them. One was in the tutorials section, so it was set to invisible automatically, and needed to be approved.
If my topic was deleted, do I lose the credits I earned from it? Now i need to get 19 credits to un-suspend my account... people rely on my website. I'm losing members here.
I am looking at different solutions for paid hosting and I know that that trap17 has some connection
with a paid hosting company and I would like more info about it because I like the way this place is
run and it has been a good place to have my website. So what is the site for the paid hosting?...
Dear hosted members, We have noticed that many members are knowingly or unknowingly breaking some
basic rules of posting and hosting at T17. This has resulted in a lot of spam posts which in turn
lead to more unnecessary work for moderators and admins, 'defacement' of the foums and
sometimes even banning of the concerned member. The rules are there and you are also there. But
have you read them? Usually, if you have read the rules and understood them, it is not expected
that you break them voluntarily. This however can be expected of some unscrupulous eleme...
I would like to close my hosting account because I am moving to a new paid host but I am unsure how
to close the account so that if I need to in the future I can open it without having negative
credits. (I realize that all my info from my site will be wiped and if I reopen it will be from
scratch and Ill probably need to get the 30 creds again and what not)...
I currently don't have the time to keep up with this forum and a website in addition to my job.
So, how would I delte my hosting account? I don't want to delete my trap17 forum account, I
like the discussions here, and I may want to try a website gain someday, but right now I don't
have the time. Is it possible to keep my forum account but have my hosting account deleted? Thanks
for any and all info!!! Byron Arnold...
I am in the negative points as we speak here just to state that. I have had a couple times when I
have went negative because of certain reasons but I have been way to busy lately to do anything but
my personal life. I can't afford to come check here and post as often as I used to. So my
question then would be is there any way I can get my account changed to free hosting with the text
ad? I would really like to not have to make a whole new account and lose all of the stuff from my
hosting now and also my forum account. If it is needed that I post up enough to get pos...

Many members ask about the matter of hosting credits. Trap17 staff have explained hosting credits
clearly on the site, but if you're not paying attention, have any questions, or need more, here
are some points that will answer your questions. Due to a few user comments, I have had to add a
few more points, and edited some previous points to be a bit more clearer. This is in addition to
the additions mods have made to the posts, which I greatly thank you for. 1. READ THE FORUMS BEFORE
YOU POST A CREDIT QUESTION!!! How many times have the Admins of Trap17...
I've read through the credit FAQs and the pinned topic but didn't see this answered. Please
excuse the Newby question, but I am a newby. I posted a tutorial yesterday but didn't see any
change in my credits. Is there a way or place to see what credit you get for posts?...
I was just wondering if something changed in the way that the hosting credits work here... because
I'm pretty sure that I had enough credits to last a few more days, cause I built up a bunch the
last time I was here... but since I noticed that I haven't gotten many hits today, I checked my
site to see if it was still up and running. That tends to be how I see if I need to get back over
here and posting. Well, I can understand if I ran out of points, cause it certainly wouldn't be
the first time... but what's getting me is that my site has been down less ...

hey all, it was about one hour ago that my website stopped working, apart from my home page which

the cpanel now, i get the following message: QUOTE Sorry for the inconvenience! The
filesystem mounted at / on this server is running out of disk space. cPanel operations have been
temporarily suspended to prevent something bad from happening. Please ask your system adm...

Good day! I have some questions about my hosting account. I have been idle for quite some time
and unfortunately, I wasn't able to gather enough credits so my hosting got suspended (after my
credits reached negative). Last weekend I gathered enough (around 10 credits) so my website could be
reactivated again. I was told by my friend yesterday that my site was now accessible however, I
realized that it was only my main page that has been activated, the subdomains were not. Whenever I
try to access it, a trap suspended page keeps on appearing. Can anyone please exp...
Imagine that trap17 can offer 17 megs of free hosting to any member registered to this forums. I
mean, 17 megs of space shoudn't be too much fot this huge hosting company like trap17. You would
only need to geather 100 credits on forums, with ultra quality posts and you can get your 17 megs of
space for at least one year. I think it's great idea, don't you? /dry.gif"

I'm always Recently i;ve been letting my credits drop below 1 day. I was wondering, what do you
guys do to avoid not dropping pas the 0 days mark? I know, we all post. But do you post only on
certain days? Once a day? What, what do you do to prevent your account being suspended....
Today, I have managed to screw some 10 hosting accounts. It was my mistake by running the script
while we're in the transition from Process v1.0 to Manage v2.0 Hosting Account System. For your
information we will be using trap17.com/manage instead of the process page from now on. Due to my
unfortunate action, OpaQue has quickly restored those 10 accounts but their hosting credits cannot
be certain. If you notice any hosting credits incorrectly stating in your account please PM me
directly and I will make things right and true. Again, I sincerely apologize for my a...
Hello dear trap17 I can see that you have this thing called negative credits. When i don't post
on forums that many then my credits go in minus. So when i am not on forums then credits drop below
0 and continue to go below zero. I was looking for good post to post, but me couldn't find good
post on whole forums. I understand that you need credit to be hosted, and that is cool, but why
don't you just suspend my account when i come to 0, and then leave it suspended, but don't
count down in minus, because it is not good idea to go in minus. If you go my cre...
I haven't been below 0 credits, yet, my account is suspended? What's going on? I've got
a little over 2.5 credits now, and had maybe 0.3 today, before I posted a problem post in this
sub-forum... And it clear;y states I have 2.69 credits... /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle"

I don't know is this right place to write about problem, but i had 1 credit yesterday, and i

I was wondering if it is possible to do the following thing with my trap17 account. Since school
has come by again I keep finding it harder and harder to keep my credits up because a lot of nights
I don't even get to look at the computer. I also have noticed that I am not really using trap17
for hosting a lot of websites but more files and such not. I was wondering if I am able to
downgrade my account for the time being to the account with the "One text ad" version. But a
question on that, that I have is: if I host an image with my account that way and put the ima...
I've been wondering for a while now, since the amount of days is hardly piece to achieve. Are
the days we get for our account fewer when applying for the hosting package 2, comparing applying to
the hosting package 1. Theoritical it would make sense, because it requires 20 more credits for the
package 2. If we posting a post in the forum do we achieve more days for that post if we having
package 1? If thats the case, are there any opportunity for downgrading to a package 1 account?...
Do you admins think that we all hava a time to spend 3-4 hous a day on this forum. Many of us have
