Thank you.

No problem, also where should I report this kind of bugs to avoid cluttering the feed or the global page?

I still refuse to filter new users even if that means swimming in spam every once in awhile, I don't want new users to feel unwelcome or ignored.

There are only 3 posts under that domain that are not spam and they are very old, I think I'll have to do this. Thanks.

I would do that but I don't want to miss if a new user joins hubski.

Thanks but if you are busy you can do it later, there is no hurry.

Oops, sorry for interrupting something important. Do what rd95 said, get off the phone!

mk and forwardslash sorry to bother you with this notification but with so much spam I doubt any legit post (like this one) will be seen.

And people on IRC used to make fun of me because high resolution images on imgur made my browser freeze. Also hey, look who I found on the chatter, hi moe!

Thank you for the great explanation, it makes more sense now. Sometimes I'm a little slow to understand.

Another website with online DOS games: https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_msdos_games

I don't think it can deter bots. One can create a single gmail account shared by all bots and then when registering do this: myspamaccount+bot1@gmail.com myspamaccount+bot2@gmail.com ...

All those emails will get redirected to the single account myspamaccount@gmail.com

I like the idea but can you explain point 1 a little more? Do you mean if they click the spam button for a lot of posts they won't see it? How will you prevent abuse of this system? Like for example someone decides to create 10 accounts and use all of them to report the same post.

I love it!

It looks like the loading icon of a video game, I like it.

I'm also perpetually logged in, I just tested the site logged out today to see the difference and it was huge. Maybe it is possible to give that toggle option to logged out users too, save it in their session until they clear the cookies, have it off by default.

I am saying this from previous experience as a reddit lurker, as someone who wanted to consume information instead of producing it. Logged out users mostly read what's "hot" or "trending", they rarely go to "new" or "global" so I doubt many of them will be affected by defaulting to have < 2 days old accounts hidden and if it is possible to add an option to toggle it then they won't be affected at all.

It's almost done, the only I'm still seeing in global is this one.

My preference is to see new users' posts for all the generally acceptable reasons (to greet them and such).

That's mine too but should that be for logged out users? I think the best approach is to disable it for logged out users, why? It allows the community to do its self-moderation approach and once the new users stop being "new" people who browse logged out will see content from those that are not spammers and spam won't have a chance to show up.

No problem and thank you for improving hubski!

Thanks, I didn't know what the second badge was for.

Another one, some posts in my feed have two badge icons:

Clicking the left badge icon works as expected, clicking the right badge icon displays this:

My test post is this one and I have it stickied in my feed, I'm clicking the badges from my feed, clicking them inside the post works as expected.

Sorry for writing my 3rd top level reply to this thread but I found another one, I was reading some old threads and I noticed that all user mentions have links that look like this: https://hubski.com/pub/user?id=Outlander

Those links are obviously broken, they should be https://hubski.com/user?id=Outlander or https://hubski.com/user/Outlander

Example thread:

Unfortunately I don't know any but I can give you a little advice, you posted a valid question but your title screams spam, you may want to try posting this under a different title. Also when making a post you can optionally add some tags to it, maybe #software is a good one.

I found a bug and a vulnerability.

Bug: link to https://ipfs.pics/ (the domain, not a picture) generates a broken thumbnail (screenshot), I saw it happen here

I can't seem to be able to reproduce it in my comment.

Vulnerability: do I report it by PM to you or to rob05c?

I have definitely learned a lot from that job, it was a horrible and good experience at the same time but I felt like I was not progressing anymore, I was not getting any benefit or experience anymore on that job, for that and other personal reasons I decided to quit.

Unfortunately the infrastructure I had to work with was a mess made by an incompetent guy, I had to fix things because I was not able to properly prevent them. I could quit that job a few months ago.

When I used to do tech support malvertising was the #1 cause of adware and viruses installed on computers, the usual solution after cleaning the computer was to install uBlock Origin, enable the "malware domains" lists and replace the Internet Explorer shortcut with either Chrome or Firefox (little trick, change the shortcut name to Internet Explorer and change the icon to the blue 'e'). That solution used to keep computers clean for longer periods of time.
