Hey everyone,

This is just a small announcement thread regarding the new "smart" rating system that has been introduced on Twilight.ws since this Saturday. (Yes I coded on new years eve but not the whole evening ;))

Since our latest recode which you all have heard about (if not click here) the database structure has completely changed allowing us to "do more" with the information we receive when a website submits downloads.
We are promising a lot of new features in the future, this is one of them ;)

We can now officially calculate (based on the file host requirements) what the score of a certain website is. This score is determined by the quality of your submission.
This means a website that submits all downloads hosted on several golden file hosts has more points/a higher score than a website that submits only 1 bronze file host.

Based on the requirements listed in the webmasters area you also know what score your website must have before it is eligible for a certain rating.

You can check the score of your website any time by filling in your domain name under the "My website information" part in the webmasters area. (If someone would be kind enough to PM me his/her TWCP account information I will be able to add it too in the TWCP).

Thanks for your attention, I wish you all a Happy Newyear!

PS: I cannot stress enough that the webmasters area is a page full of information that will help you 90% of the time without needing to contact us. You cannot imagine how many email we receive with questions that are answered on the link I gave above. It would save both our team and yourself time if you would read it ;)

UPDATE Jan 31 2012:
- New filehosts were added, old ones were removed
- the user friendliness has been improved
- new smart way to detect websites that are dead
- ability to search on these new filehosts
- url structure is better now ;)

UPDATE 29th March 2012:
We have updated our linking code, please update it to avoid being blacklisted automatically in the near future, thanks!

Get the code here​


Peace,
Whoo

PSS: Everyone that needs to contact the Twilight.ws team should do this via the contact form on the website. This way we can handle every request in an organised and effective way.

I will not be replying to any Twilight.ws related PM's as we do not provide our support here on WJ.

Dear Whoo

You put filesonic in Gold. but now filesonic is the big problem to all uploaders for their Digital Fingerprinting Tech. Its deleted all uploads within very short time (Sometimes within 5 minutes, also before you update your Twilight.ws)

Hotfile also in gold, but uploaders currently not interested about HF for their last time's Account Suspension.

So, I think you should add Filepost or Filejungle in Gold.


BTW, your Twilight is now looking very Cool. And from my end Twilight is the best DDL now :)
 
When a site like twilight has a search by file host the owner of the site knows exactly what file hosts downloaders are searching for. Keeping downloaders happy is more important than webmasters I'm afraid as if you lose downloaders you lose webmasters.

Don't worry Whoo is a smart guy and as soon as he sees downloaders searching more of a different file host he will adapt the rules. You don't have the information Whoo has so you can't say what downloaders prefer.

I hope your not implying I don't reply to webmasters. I don't have anything to do with Twilight or any other DDL site.

As for Whoo he does reply to all webmasters but as he's just launched a new version I'm sure he'll catch up on emails and other questions as soon as the more important bugs are fixed in this new version.
About the rerate requests pending, aren't these now automated? Why would they be pending rerates if it's automated? Have you checked the webmaster area?
 
welll what i believe is automation is always good but autorating should be automated only upto 3* & make it hard/tough to get 4* & 5* rating which would be manual based on looks, how the site is for downloaders, amount of advertisement etc etc & that way it would be cool

I've had nothing to do with mechoddl in almost a year now. It stats it clearly in the official topic. Please don't accuse me of not replying to webmasters.
Thank you.

you replied to someone in mecho thread few days back so i thought u'r still involved with it!
 
I think some of y'all are assuming ranks are completely automated now and I dont think they are because I see several 4 and 5* sites that are still under the minimum point requirements for each rank..given that and the stated requirements for rank in webmaster area (like nice looking site, clean etc) I'm pretty sure Whoo still manually controls ranks and the Point system is just another tool to help him do that as well as help webmasters see their shortcomings etc. so that we can know what we need to do to gain higher rank. It should make it easier for all concerned so I personally think it's a solid idea.
 
My Score....:)

I have a question about 5* sites.
About this: "Website must submit a mixture of apps, games, movies, tv-shows, music (no porn!)"

this means a site that submit porn can't get 5*?
