RunKeeper - Disable Manual Logging Entries.

Just sayin’…
And don’t let us yield to temptation
as Matthew said.

Should this limitation be tied to the weaselproof flag on a goal?

[apolyton]

If you mean that you can reply to emergency emails, doesn’t that apply to all automated goals?

If I understood @donedamned correctly, he was proposing that our RunKeeper integration should not count any manually logged entries by default.

My counter/clarification was to wonder whether it’s only the weaselproofed people who need to have that restriction.

But that doesn’t only apply to manually-logged RunKeeper entries, because there are always other ways to cheat yourself. So I don’t think we should worry about it, except for people who ask for our help in resisting temptation, in which case manually-logged entries should be considered ‘unusual’ as per this other thread:

@philip

There are so many slippery slopes available, we need to find ways to make our community robust (antifragile?) in the face of slipperiness, not just plug individual holes. Part of that does mean giving folks ways of helping their future selves, like the weasel-proofing option.

In this context, that might mean rejecting any datapoint added by an ‘unusual’ means (for that goal). Let’s not focus too much on ‘by email’ part of this thread.

@philip Yes manual integrations should not count (probably as a weasel-proof addition) just as in GymPact app.
