Here at Cheat Happens we are constantly looking for ways to improve the value of our paid memberships, especially those that choose to upgrade to Lifetime PLUS which goes above and beyond and so we try and do the same.

We're proud to announce the new TRAINER OPTION REQUEST SYSTEM.

Similar to our new trainer request system, this is used to request additional options be added to existing trainers. A Lifetime PLUS membership, plus 1000 Reward Credits (RC) are required in order to submit a NEW option request which will then be reviewed by a site admin. Once approved, it will be given a credit goal and then ANY member with unspent Reward Credits may vote and help fund any of the requested options. Once the goal is met it will be evaluated by our trainer programmers and then added to the next trainer update or rejected and all credits refunded if the option is not possible. In order to prevent the trainer programmers being overloaded with option requests by a single user, each option will require partial funding by 5 different users (not counting the user that originally submitted the request). Each vote will also require a specific amount of credits, split evenly among the overall RC goal of that option.

More information about this system, it's requirements and how it works are provided on the request pages. We've added 3 new buttons on each game index page above the most recent trainer for requesting options, reporting updates and boosting update priority.

Please note that this feature has a lot of moving parts and should be considerded BETA at this time. It has been tested but until we get some real-world requests we won't know that it's functioning 100%.

We hope that everyone enjoys the new feature and that it leads to more feature-rich trainers that are community driven.

Please note that we will not tolerate non Lifetime PLUS subscribers trying to get L+ members to make new requests on their behalf. Our Lifetime PLUS membership is only $4.95/month and includes multiple features beyond our lifetime subscription. If you are interested in using these new features, please consider an upgrade here: Link

Lifetime PLUS subscribers allow us to create more trainers, hire more programmers and release more trainer updates each month. Please consider upgrading to continue enoying the same level of trainer support we have provided for the last 17+ years. It's only $4.95 per month. Every penny collected goes towards the purchase of games and to our programmers and others that help out with promoting and maintaining such a large website. We also use any excess funds to give back to the community through real-world items in our RC Store and Prize Wheel.

As always, a Lifetime PLUS subscription is NOT REQUIRED to download any additional trainers or content, only to access enhanced site features and bonuses that the entire CH community can then benefit from.

We've already had multiple trainers updated with requests from our new system. We also added a new central page to see current requests up for funding.

Nuff said.

I have noticed that several options that have been founded (i.e. earned enough votes) have disappeared from the option request list, but no corresponding new trainer has been posted or is queued according to the trainer queue.

Are those options being worked on? Is there a option queue somewhere (if not, there should be)? Also a list of finished (implemented) options would be great!

Once funded they stay on that title's option request page until a trainer is released with them or they are declined for various reasons and the RCs refunded. Declined options will show on that title's request page. Fulfilled requests will be in the trainer and no point in keeping a list of them separately.

The status of all "pending" requests are here:

Thanks for the information, PWizard!

For denied options it would be great if the reason for the denial would be visible on the title's request page.

BTW, a log of RC transactions (earned, spent, won, refunded) would be a great enhancement. 😉

Hi,

Regarding the New Trainer Option; I am ok with asking for new option and let others vote, but is there is a chance to have self vote again and again (spend RC) to meet the "Votes Needed" and get that option?

This comes for the old games where already many people already past on and now playing new games.

No, sorry.
