PuttItOut ago

We banned a bunch of accounts today and sent a tremendous amount of warnings.

I did accidently run a batch with a bad config setting and had to manually reverse things.

I think many that got warnings today may be from things up to two months ago.

We don't check warnings like we do bans, so you can get a warning pretty easily but it's nothing to worry about, just a way of us saying "hey, your account showed up on the naughty report."

How does your script determine if someone is manipulating votes? Not asking for a friend, I just don't want to end up on the naughty list by using Voat in a weird way that makes the script flag me for whatever reason.

you know, in the IT world they never give out how something works specifically, if they did a "hacker" could tip toe their way around and avoid it.

even if you are 100% innocent in your question and dont want to end up on the naughty list, someone else could be reading the reply and use that information.

if you are that concerned about it you probably arnt anything to worry about.

ThisIsMyRealName ago

I know this. Infosec is a huge priority in my current job. Never hurts to ask though. If putts is willing to give up the information, I assume he understands the risks if there are any.

Except, strangely enough, in cryptography, where everyone acknowledges that obscurity doesn't work against determined experts and leads to a false sense of security and lack of scrutiny.

McFluffy ago

well i guess that makes sense.

tbh, my reference is usually to ban automation behaviors like bottling in games.

WordCorrector ago

Obscurity is still a useful layer to have in security. Ideally, a secure system will be bullet proof enough that you can provide a pen tester with exactly how the system works without compromising security.

Look up the Vernam one-time pad cipher.

Goys-R-Us ago

If your security is bullet proof, obscurity adds nothing to the equation.

Show me bullet proof security on an IT system and I'll show you a powered off computer in a Fort Knox vault.

WordCorrector ago

If a turned off computer in a Fort Knox vault is still connected to the internet then there are ways to turn it on remotely, but I get the point you're making.

HoneyTrap1488 ago

Yeah I agree -- contrary to a lot of retards in the tech industry who take the message of not using " obscurity" too literally. It can still be useful.

Look up the Vernam one-time pad cipher

lol, that's literally Crypto 101 level stuff. That's like telling someone "go look up the alphabet and the times table".

Locked_Account ago

Oh, obscurity isn't part of cryptography? Post your private key please.

HoneyTrap1488 ago

That's just disingenuous and not what "obscurity" is understood to mean in this context. At least not by anyone competent.

Locked_Account ago

Not disingenuous, I have seen many hur-hur-ing half-wits blurt out that line and disrespect secreting the secret properly, that I insist the correct line is, "Security through ONLY obscurity is not security." And that line is not nearly as fun a song lyric for their fat lazy asses to sing.

HoneyTrap1488 ago

If you actually have a conversion with someone, it becomes obvious pretty fast if they're a clueless charlatan or not. You don't have to assume it up front and derail every conversation by telling them "HAHAHA JUST CHECKING YOU'RE NOT A RETARD".

Locked_Account ago

Damn near everybody is "short" to Yao Ming.
....You're right, that was pretty fast. ;-)

kjlashas893890 ago

he full of shit, When dial got banned 15 accounts were touched....

I had 30+ randoms with 100s of ccp ccp given out, untouched. you tell me?

-dial

ChaosCrusader ago

What the fuck are you even trying to say? It sounds like you are the one full of shit.

AmaleksHairyAss ago

Keeping 15 alt accounts and using them to vote on the same things? That's vote manipulation, dude.

349023095sdfl ago

they were used to combat vote manipulation downvoat brigades, @kevdude whined to putt to get me bann because he use his goon squad to not only down @dial_indicator but others. Anything organic I left alone.

Its not hard to tell when it a brigade -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 on a nightly basis from kevdud, I could set my watch to it.... I think I already reply to you about this.

kevnigger would also go after my submissions.

Keeping 15 alt accounts and using them to vote on the same things?

I think I done a total of three times, its was just a songs. @puttitout and (the builder) @kevdude never provides any proof... I might as well sit here and call them pedohiles.

puttitout still has never done or reach to tell me who was downvoting me. but he will call 3.9 year old sleeper alt "a builder... with only 8 submissions and a comment history of only 2 pages..... dont you find that od?

Dial on average would see 60 sometimes more replies and mentions per night. lmao.... last I looked dial had only 2k ccp and downvotes are being removed.

WhiteRonin ago

Do not use an alt to upvoat yourself. If you do, use a different VPN connection ;-)

albatrosv15 ago

Ah, professional here.

pathlesstrod ago

Nah, professional is having various sockpuppet accounts via VPN that say belligerent strawman statements to your main account. Then your main account easily defeats those responses with moron logic. Folks eat that shit up and they become your upgoat farm for your main without you doing hardly anything.

That's what I found works effectively. This is JDIF tactics 101.

randomfuckingidiot ago

Oh damn that's a good one

pathlesstrod ago

grin

zyklon_b ago

do what?

pathlesstrod ago

Do what I say and all shall be forgiven. Shalom.

Goys-R-Us ago

That's what I found works effectively.

Sounds like an admission of guilt.

pathlesstrod ago

This is JDIF tactics 101.

This part eluded you?

Goys-R-Us ago

It's JIDF not JDIF. Carry on Moshe.

pathlesstrod ago

That's JIDF tactic 301. Say you are JDIF. Glad to see you took that class.

Goys-R-Us ago

Good one, I laughed.

offender ago

Wow most of us don't even need to read those manuals. You must be pretty dull.

pathlesstrod ago

There are international bankers jews, and then there is me. I am merely a foot soldier. Meaning I don't fight, I just get US goyim to fight for us. I was awarded an Israeli medal of honor for getting 300+ US marines to die for our cause. I am very proud of it. What I don't understand is that the medal keeps dripping blood.

White_pride_cis ago

@oh_well_ian was saying the same thing. He said that he has a script that he uses, and if you’re caught, you just call everyone a shill

pathlesstrod ago

Scripting is beyond us yenta jews. Us jew women know our place and stay at home (yet still be spicy on the_donald). We leave the power jew level authority to the men.

Killeratlarge ago

shut up alt farmer

pathlesstrod ago

I actually wish I was a real life farmer. I would grow Mazel Tovs, Bar Mitzvahs, Bat Mitzvahs, and a few crucified Jesus' here and there.

Killeratlarge ago

Money grows off of jews

pathlesstrod ago

We need it to grow off non-jews.

Someone on this site said something about starting a mens' club in their respective areas. I think we need to start a non-jew club. Maybe call it the Crusaders or something like that. Or is that too cheesy?

ThisIsMyRealName ago

Oh, okay. That shouldn't be a problem for me. Why do you know this?
