Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / Why can't you stop all this scrap all nonsense?

Hey. We're currently working on dealing with the recent flood of "scrap" scripts, as well as spam scripts and users in general.

We want to be able to help filter spam, but are considering the middleground between loosy-goosy email filtering (things can be mis-flagged, no big deal) and verification of every script (obviously not possible).

Thanks! They're a huge pain in our sides as well.

Topic: The Banana Bar / Oooohhh oooh!

I hope everyone's loving the amazing work Jesse and Hendrix have been doing on the site lately! Not much in UI, but some AMAZING stuff behind the scenes. Not all fame and glory either ... such as cleaning up db redundancies and unicode issues. Ugh!

I've had no time to hack on us.o lately due to Twitter.com being all crazy and the like. But I'm still around in the trees from time to time. Hopefully free time will rear its head soon!

The new rating system is being revamped, and will be back in soon :)

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / Gravicon

I'm having this same problem ... we should contact the gravatar folks as they just released their new system and are still working out the quirks.

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / HTML Align

Lior,

Absolutely! Unfortunately (and fortunately!), when we revamped the site security was the primary concern. We are now working on all the little bits.

We're really value your thoughts about this on the wiki page for this issue here: http://userscripts.devjavu.com/projects/userscr...

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / Getting a script removed

We're trying to keep the number of forums to a minimum, so another subforum may be overkill for issues like this. Definitely though, there needs to be some form of making requests for script removal and the like.

Thinking about possible usecases, I'd say somewhere within your settings you should be able to file issues that admins could address, such as dup scripts.

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / suggestion: openID logins

Absolutely, I've opened a ticket here: http://userscripts.devjavu.com/projects/userscr...

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / The "Your Scripts" list

Jesse spent some time updating the wiki today with much more info regarding the progression of site development (thanks Jesse!).

I've begun the framework for discussing site content on the wiki here: http://userscripts.devjavu.com/projects/userscr...

Please add your opinions on your scripts here:

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / HTML Align

Hey Lior,

Re: Styling. We're going to be moving towards a medium ground between the extended descriptions we had in us.o1 and the strictness of us.o2. So what does this mean? You should be able to preform basic manipulation of your custom description ... centering, bolding, including images and other media (-> jesse's hint about possible media hosting).

One of our primary concerns when moving to v2 was sealing XSS holes as much as possible, hence the very strict filters in place right now.

Re: Script versioning/changelog ... yes it's in the works :)

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / The "Your Scripts" list

This has changed with a past GM release though, as clicking on a script brings up the install dialog, not the source itself.

There was a request recently for a "view source" link on a script's page, which would refer to number of views.

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / Spam and malware

Also important to note is that we are doing soft deletes. So if we delete a false positive, when they log in they will be present with the ability to restore their account.

Topic: Script development / How do I move my scripts??

Right now you you just have to re-install them manually.

One of the future features of userscripts.org is script 'bundles' or 'favorites'. Bundles have been a talked about feature for gm, so you will be able to log in to any computer and install all your favorites in one click!

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / white space in comments/topics/...

This should be fixed in the forum as well.

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / white space in comments/topics/...

Fixed this for comments. We use white_list for evil tags and what not.

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / Search is down? + Missing old features

Searching fixed ... as far as the old features of the frontpage, we will be bringing those back, as well as enhancing new features such as "Featured Script."

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / Search is down? + Missing old features

Looking at the search issue now.

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / Welcome to the new site!

thorbenhauer: A lot of those users are spam. We are working at clearing them up as quickly as possible!

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / Server Configuration

Absolutely ... the only thing you would need would be to comment out the memcached part of /config/environment.rb (which isn't currently committed).

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / Tags in Userscripts.org

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / Welcome to the new site!

Dink: What did you like about the old format in particular? We just rebuild the framework, but will be revising much of the visual structure in coming weeks.

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / Welcome to the new site!

Tagging is staying in. We basically wanted to get a release out so people could begin updating and uploading their scripts, and then we're addressing moving over a few bits of lacking core functionality, as well as structuring the site as we go.

In short: We will be doing lots of incremental updates to the site in the near and distant future.

Topic: Userscripts.org discussion / Welcome to the new site!

Thanks for everyone who was involved. It was a late night and a pretty much rewrite of the entire codebase, so we're pretty excited about it! As Jesse mentioned, file tickets and post requests for new features here!
