How?

[quote=theBMB]I've been working on a guide for a while now and I notice it has 50 views without being published...how? Surely it doesn't count the times I view it while editing, are moderators allowed to view builds in progress?[/quote]

[quote=da_neo]Every view counts. Your own too.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]It does count the times you view your own guide in editing. Mods cannot view unpublished guides.[/quote]

[quote=theBMB]that's kinda odd dont you think, couldn't someone just f5 bomb their own guide to rack up its view count?[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]They could, but think how many times you'd have to f5 just for 100 more views. Anyway, people look at the score, not the view count.[/quote]

[quote=da_neo]As the viewer counter is part of the whole site, you need to wait till your guide is half-fully loaded to get one view. You cant simply press&hold F5 all the time. I have 37k+ views on my guide. It takes up to 5 secs till the site is fully loaded. Means: I would need to sit 2 days in front of my PC without a pause and press "F5" every 5 seconds to double my views. Who has the time to do that?[/quote]

[quote=theBMB]good point hooray for lag[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]but yea, your guide can have 1 million views and 2 votes...[/quote]
