Scratch

And the evolution of spam comes to scratch. The project has turned.

This device is powerful. It literally has the power to SPAM scratch if you added a wait 60 seconds rule.

What he means is that you can make a script:

Code:

FOREVER (
[post something]
[wait 60 or 180 seconds]
)

Ahh I see.

But seriously. Would a spammer go so far and actually get this Panther block to spam the forums? Is that really worth the effort? Why not leave this forum and go spam some easier-to-spam place?

This makes it the easiest.

On a similar topic, I think someone should make a "tag the %nth project with %s' block.  I couldn't understand the source of the project website, so I tried something, and it completely failed.   

EDIT: Here's what I know:  when you press the button, it sends to a website which is equal to that of the project with '/tag' at the end.  But, as stupid as it sounds, I can't figure out how to send the text data.

EDIT 2:  This seems to be the tag that does it:

   <form id='tag' action="/projects/Greenatic/1884743/tag" method="post" onSubmit="this.tag_textarea.value='';">

Is there anyone who can decipher that for me?  The only Internet-related command I know in Squeak is "ScratchPlugin primOpenURL:" which opens a webpage or file at a given filepath/address.  Can anyone tell me what I need to append to .../Greenatic/1884743 ?

Maybe we could defeat the 60 second rule with this!

No, it's server side, so it will still be in effect.

I figured out some code to log into the site and post, but somewhere in there it all goes wrong. A PHP-knowledgeable person could maybe kindly help me on this issue? 

Here is my code...

Code:

<?php

    $curl_connection = curl_init('http://scratch.mit.edu/login');

    curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $ckfile);
    
    // set post values
    $post_data['User'] = $_GET['user'];
    $post_data['Pass'] = $_GET['pass'];
    $post_data['refer'] = $_GET['/'];

    // join values
    foreach ( $post_data as $key => $value) {
        $post_items[] = $key . '=' . $value;
    }
    $post_string = implode ('&', $post_items);
    curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_string);
    
    // send post and close connection
    $firstres = curl_exec($curl_connection);
    curl_close($curl_connection);

    ############################################################

    $post_data['form_user'] = $_GET['user'];

    curl_close($curl_connection);
    
    #echo $result;

I dont know what the problem is. Have you tested the login script. Your method uses cookies. A browser only caches cookies. It also puts there that "this cookie was sent from this URL:" so you can't set a cookie to get it from scratch.
Also, could you explain how you got the auto uploads on modshare from a mod for my mods new site?

No, I used a cookie jar to save the login cookies for that purpose.
