That’s one of the many reasons I don’t implement a bunch of my side projects, because it inevitably leads to me trying to figure out how to police and remove gross content from whatever website I build, and I don’t want to have to deal with that.
- jacquesm 7y agoSpot on, it is also the reason I shut down two websites that I ran for years. You really need to be on the ball, preferably 24/7 so many things that would be nice side projects simply can't be left up and running without oversight. It's a rotten world.
- modwest 7y agoOh gosh I have a project I should check on. If I can find the credentials... edit: oh no.
- jacquesm 7y agoUgh. Need help?
- modwest 7y agoFirst, thanks for offering, I appreciate that! But no, I think for the most part it was pretty benign. It looks like they were planning on doing some kind of maybe SEO gaming or something using my de.licio.us clone I made almost a decade ago. I had about 23,000 accounts with .ru and .lv email addresses, many repeats, almost none of which interacted with the app at all. Many recently created, even today. I think there must be a script that loads in users or something like that.
- jacquesm 7y agoOk. Happy to see it is that kind of trouble, and not something far more disturbing. Good on you for taking immediate action after becoming aware of the problem.
- imhoguy 7y agoThis is also reason I abandoned freemium and open C2C for side projects in general.
