Here are a few quick ways that you can increase the privacy for your account. Like blocking a certain member from being able to private message you, or only allowing comments to be shown on your profile once you approve them. Follow these quick tips and you'll soon have a more private account.

Block Private Messages from Member
Simply goto your Control Panel and click on the link labeled "PM Block List". At the next page you'll just enter the username of the member you wish to block and then press the "Add this member to my block list" button. You also have the option to leave a note about each blocked member for your records. Blocked members will no longer be able to contact you via privage messages on this website.

Ignore Forum Messages from Member
Simply goto your Control Panel and click on the link labeled "Manage Ignored Users". At the next page you'll just enter the username of the person you wish to ignore and then press the "Update Ignored users" button. You will no longer be able to see the content of forum posts made by any ignored members.

Profile Comment Approval
Simply goto your Control Panel and click on the link labeled "Edit Profile Configuration". Next, enable new comment moderation using the dropdown menu under "Moderation Options". From then you'll need to approve all comments before they are displayed on your profile. You can moderate comments on your profile page using the Comments Tab.

Arcade Shout It Out Ignore Member
Simply press the the "Ignore" button found near the Shout It Out chat area on any arcade game page. Next, enter username of the person you want to ignore and then press the "Ignore User" button. You will no longer be able to see chat messages from your ignored users while playing games.

Don't Allow Email from Anyone
Simply goto your Control Panel and click on the link labeled "Email Settings". At the next page, check the box next to "Block Emails" and this will prevent other members from sending you emails. Your actual email address is always anonymous to other members no matter which option you select. But, please keep in mind that if you reply back to an email on the Internet, the other person will then know your real email address.

Your main goal is simply to become the toughest most respected player around. Take advantage of the additional in-game tools and features to help you accomplish the utlimate goal of becoming the top don. Members can attack each other within the message forums or by directly visiting another members profile and viewing the Mafia tab.

The features include...
Hit List - if you attack another member you'll be branded to this list.
Hospital - badly injured? then you should probably see the doctor!
Shopping Center - purchase items to restore and revive your character.
Statistics & Logs - find out what's happened in Mafia while you were away.
Weapons - as your level increases you'll be able to use stronger weapons.

Please Note: Members that do not wish to participate simply need to do nothing--the game will not disturb your regular gaming experience here at Robert's Arcade.

1.) Using the "Edit Profile Information" link in the Control Panel you can specify a URL Address to an MP3 located somewhere online. Once you save this information in the Control Panel, the song will then immediately become active on your profile. It's not always an easy task to find the URL's to MP3 music but there are a lot of free services online which will actually allow you to upload an MP3 file and then get the URL address to it.

2.) Simply send me the MP3 attached to a private message and I'll attach it to your profile. Please be sure to provide the name of the song and the songs author so I can provide that information on your profile.

I'm in the process of moving all of the games into categories for better organization. Since each game must be updated one by one, this may take a little while to get all of the games sorted out.

Most Viewed Profiles
The top 6 most viewed profiles are now featured near the bottom of the member listing section.

My Best Score
You can now see your top score for each game on the listing pages. This will help you better determine which games you have or have not played. Games that you have not played yet will show an "N/A" as your best score.

Over 2,500 Games
I'm pleased to announce that we now have over 2,500 games available and many more are still being added regularly. Please check back often for the latest game additions.]]> Robert Robert Thu, 25 Jun 2009 17:12:15 -0500 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 17:12:15 -0500 119 http://robertsarcade.com/index.php?showtopic=106
- Arcade Active Users is fixed.
- Changed the CSS style for input buttons.
- Changed several images on the site.
- Who's Online list is fixed.

The site will now go down for maintainence during the beginning of every month (approximately 30-60 seconds at around 3am) to perform certain backend optimization tasks that I've setup to help ensure the site performs smoothly as it continues to grow.

Benefits of New Web Host
- Unlimited Bandwidth
- Unlimited MySQL Databases and Space
- Unlimited Domain Hosting
- Unlimited Web Space

This means the site can now have an endless amount of games, unlimited amount of daily game players (no bandwidth restrictions rule!), and the possibilities keep going on. Look forward to big changes to this site in the coming year.

This is a concept that we have been working on to provide the site members with reward points for simply doing normal activities on the site; like playing arcade games or posting forum messages. The reward points (aka "Gold") are simply for entertainment purposes and can be redeemed towards account upgrades and other virtual items in the Trading Post section. New items and upgrades will be added to the Trading Post as we come up with them. We're currently pondering the idea of some virtual items like a Birthday Present or Cake that can be purchased and then sent to another friend on the site. Or, maybe even some rotten tomatoes to send to that person that just wiped your high score! But, if you guys have any suggestions for new items, please reply to this message with your ideas and we will definately consider them.

Trading Post Tips:
1. Gold is safer in the bank and you'll earn interest on your savings.
2. Credit Cards will offer additional bank interest but may also include financing fees.]]> ArcadeBOT Kandyman Sun, 04 Jan 2009 15:09:12 -0600 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 11:35:34 -0600 94
