I may be misunderstanding, but if "keep uploading the same document" is an issue, retain hashes of recently-uploaded documents and refuse to handle anything seen too recently too many times, unless being paid.
- alfarez 3y agoSorry, to be more precise, "same document" could mean the same content but in different formats. OR just slightly tweaked to result in a different hash each time. Harder to abuse for sure, but still has holes.
- DamonHD 3y agoAny sufficiently-determined (and smart enough) user will find a way around any such check; this is just meant to make it a bit harder to do the wrong thing so that some people will stop trying...
- john_the_writer 3y agoSure.. but at some point you've got a diminished return on efforts to stop users. 99% of abusers won't work around the limits.
