Hi There,

Recently I created a script on here - but it has now disappeared?!

Can you tell me where it went?

It was here... http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/20326

Cheers,

C.

It was likely deleted as spam.

But it wasn't spam?!

I was away from computers this weekend and unfortunately this script triggered a "soft delete" self defense - the .user.js version of the script was being accessed at over 10 times per second sustained for multiple hours... I'm back now and am examining why the script was being accessed so often...

We are not a hosting site for static resources for other sites/... in the past when this sort of thing happened it was because someone was either: 1) serving js from userscripts.org as part of an XSS attack, 2) a spam issue.

I've never seen 10req/s on the source of a script sustained for multiple hours that was legit.

The script in question is:

var versionString = "3.6.6";

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  Meta Data - required for Greasemonkey
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// ==UserScript==
// @name          Conquer Club - BOB - Support Script
// @namespace     http://robertstocks.co.uk/conquerClub
// @description   Adds Stats, card counter, redemption value, anaimated clock, text based map, map inspection tools
// @include       http://*conquerclub.com*
// ==/UserScript==

How is this a valid userscript? It doesn't do anything. What is requesting it?

Hi Jesse,

I was using it as a support script for my main script - this was to trigger an "Update Available" bit of coding written with the main script...

I realised that I was calling this too many times - and in the latest version I have reduced the check to every page load - instead of every action (AJAX is on the site and each action could be a lot!)

Whilst on the same note - Another one of my scripts has now disappeared...

I had 2 versions of the same script - one for general release and one for beta release (uploaded for a few testers) but the Beta release version has now disappered?!

What are the rules on this ? - I apologise if I've broken any of them - But I didn't realise that I had?!

C.

Edit - actually my Beta script is still there - although only if I click on my username...

In my release script - it says I have "no other scripts"!? Weird.

@yeti_c: I think from your description of this script that you're blatantly abusing the userscripts.org site, and it should be obvious why steps have been taken to stop this. If you really deem it necessary to check so often, couldn't you look for an alternative host for this? I don't know how often you are updating your script, but surely it can't be very often, and so important that users should be made aware of it immediately - checking once a day or less would likely suffice.

With regards to your most recent post, it seems your script has been flagged with the 'unlisted' flag, see here for details of this.

I have now reworked the script to a different host... but am a bit concerned that the Beta script is unlisted...

The check was something one the users asked for so that I could inform them when I'd upgraded the script.

Does that mean it will be removed? If not then I'm happy for it to be unlisted as that means the usual downloaders will have more difficulty finding the beta script - which is really meant for the beta users...

C.

PS - Also I looked for the rules of the site - but I can't find them!?
