Hotlinking of Unlisted Scripts Disabled

Jan 28, 2008

@devilsworkshop: We are working on better filtering solutions. As long as your scripts are not 'unlisted' (read: malicious or spam) than there should be no hotlinking problem.

All unlisted scripts are reviewed manually for content, and we are working on a community oriented review process (see last blog post).

If you have any questions about this please contact myself or Jesse.

Script Reviews

Jan 23, 2008

This is something we've been thinking about for some time.

One idea for a Review Board system is this:

1) The number of reviewers starts relatively small. Probably around 10 users or so.

2) User X gains karma by a number of means. Highly ranked form posts, excellent scripts, insightful comments, etc.

3) At some point user X is flagged as "Potential for Review Board," in which case USER X is reviewed by someone already on the board.

4) He get's accepted or denied, with the potential to be reviewed again.

5) Problem users can be handled in traditional moderation style fashion.

Regarding logged in users being able to see the scripts still ... we of course already have the ability for a script to be marked as totally malicious and spam and hidden on the site, and a Reviewer could mark scripts as such.

This also segments us into the extremely nice position of being able to offer scripts with "Stamps of Approval" that are known to be not only well written, but extremely useful for users.

That was a small bug that slipped through the move to the new server. Should be fixed now!

Awesome! Yeah this is absolutely a planned feature. Trac/SVN is down right now due to DAV issues with lighttpd, but I'll try to get this back up ASAP and if you'd like to submit a patch that would be very cool!

There's a Babelfish in My Browser!

Ok, it should work on all bodies of text now. Only remaining problem is that is sucks together multiple lines. This is a problem with how babelfish returns their data. (Please babelfish! Public api!)

coquelicot,

Greasemonkeyed 0.3.5 is the crippled version that removes all GM_* functions. This script relies apon GM_Xmlhttprequest to fetch the babelfish data.

It should work again after Greasemonkey 0.4.0 is released (which fixes the big security hole).
