It's easy to post human-readable URLs that are difficult to detect automatically so it must be human verification.īut who would do this verification job? I can't as this is only a private side project for me.Īnd who could I trust with this? I was thinking maybe users from other sites like the Steve Hoffmann forums with a certain amount of posts and/or time registered?
New entries would have to be verified to be clean of bad stuff before they are publicly visible.
I was thinking about user accounts with double opt-in email verification plus a CAPTCHA to protect against spam and bot attacks, to make editing and deleting entries possible again.
I don't know how to provide an open community-driven project on the one hand and protection from such things on the other hand. I made it read-only because I don't want people to circumvent hidden comments by altering their logs or posting URLs to illegal content in other fields. So, for now (and that can be some time) the site is read-only and comments are hidden for existing entries. The people who are doing this not only jeopardize the project but also pose a threat to me personally as I'm held responsible for the content in the end. This is a free project powered by the community but I can and will not tolerate such behavior. I have disabled log upload functionality and comment display for now, as I received a DMCA notice because of alleged copyright infringement for some entries.Īt first I thought: What? Are they stupid? There are no music downloads here, just logs.īut then I noticed that some people actually posted URLs to illegal downloads in the comments.
