FoxyTag Secrets
Posted: Wed Nov 29, 2006 1:04 am
Having been using FoxyTag (in between many crashes) for a couple of days I really wondered how the algorithm of the programme calculates following things...
- As FoxTag is advertised to be cooperative and thus not showing all the tags to new people having not demonstrated that they are good "FoxyTagers" how does FoxyTag select which radar will be shown and which not? As a matter of fact many tags where not shown to me though I have good reasons to think that they where already tagged by others. For this reason it seems advisable to have a nice ride in town just to tag some nice green boxes all along the way if ones want to be informed correctly before to have to pay the bill...
- Then I asked myself if I should tag and tag again the (fix) radars which I pass by on my usual journeys in order to increase my trust relationship towards the system?
- And then of course what would be the impact of a tag error (especially the wrong direction or if I am not driving exactly in the green box direction because I am just turning R or L at this crossway) on my trust relationhip, would it be less dramatic if I already tagged a lot of correct information before?
- Does the amount of driven km and or the place influence the system somehow (people driving a lot outside of big town have much less to tag than someone driving in a city like ZH for instance)
