We have to continue to give incentive to the casual gamer to improve their personal best. Fox Mulder is a great uploader but he rarely gets confirmed because he's usually below 3rd place and that would stop him from uploading...
A limited number of uploads 3 in 24 hour period sounds better. in contests, people rarely upload more than once per day i.e. they only have their best recording and upload it latest in the day. Then if someone beats them, they have a chance of uploading twice more.
I agree that the 5 unconfirmed uploads rule would not work.
A limited number in 24 hours would not be a very great solution either as A) It works against people who upload all their weeks recordings in one go, and B) Anyone pursuing a place on the leader board would still be able to use their daily limit to slowly work their way up using recordings of such gambling games.
I would prefer archiving these games as the best solution. Assuming that these games are random and no skill is required, there would be little point in keeping these recordings unless they were as archived recordings.
As for the upload screen getting full - a simple solution would be to add an option to the script to filter out archived records from the screen - maybe an additional parameter setting on the 'search' form?
