which is to say: today I am working on Cheap Bots, Done Quick! if you'd like to support me in keeping it going as a free service with not too much downtime, then you can subscribe here: patreon.com/v21
-
bumping this to say that i did some more work on CBDQ, this time fixing up the admin pages so i can block people for spam without having to connect to the database and type commands that could go wrong
-
which sounds boring for people who are just using the service and aren't me, but it's this kind of thing that makes the service more stable & likely to stick around. so. if you appreciate that, you can support me. here's that link again: patreon.com/v21

(i am trying to get into the habit of posting the patreon link any day i work on the site, on the principle of "yell about your thing repeatedly, because most people aren't paying attention". sorry not sorry)
-
oh, and one thing i did which was a bit indulgent but i am pleased with: procedurally coloured people's IP addresses to make it easier to scan down the list & see when the same person has created a load of bots all at the same time.
-
(i would post a screenshot, but, uh, other people's IP addresses)
-
also, just to be clear: having multiple bots is fine, being a spammer isn't - but it's handy to spot things by seeing patterns as you scan a list
