We made a decision early on not to censor, though the hacker news crowd has upped the frat-house humor. Funny that people still try to inject javascript...

  You should probably at least make sure that each post is unique though, looking at the source that's why I kept getting the NOT STARBUCK one, it's been submitted multiple times

    Why?
    • nrkn 16y ago
      Because people like me, when they enter a message, will sit here and click over and over until they see their own message. And with the number of flood posts etc. you never get to see your message because it's buried in the crap, which is frustrating. You can get around it by firstly removing any message that isn't unique, and it might also be a good idea to have a timeout where you don't accept another submission. Clearing the input box between submissions would stop people from just clicking the share button multiple times too, then they'd at least have to paste the text in before clicking submit again. Also consider this scenario: javascript:for(var i=0;i<10;i++){$("#thought_message").val("spammy message");$( "#new_thought" ).submit();};void(0);

        It's very cool by the way. If it wasn't I wouldn't care.

          Glad you liked it. I've filtered dups and cleaned up the submit process so it makes it a little harder to spam, but I guess it just seems silly to me to try and actually stop spam on the internet.

            Yeah it's like herding cats. Good work anyway.
