Well, where the fuck is the admin? It's been a while and it's still the same. It's getting annoying and depressing.
I can't even see the people online so I don't know if I am alone or what.
Some mf thought it would be funny to set up a bot and start flooding the chat with 9999999999999 messages per second and ignoring him didn't work because he would change of id every 5 seconds. Not only it made the chat unusable but ir also started lagging the site a lot to the point you couldn't even enter because it fucked up the browser heavily. It eventually ended with him crashing the chat and the map for unlimited time. The retard was always usng the same IP. He just left the bot there and waited for being banned (which he can't so he never stopped). It could all have been stopped if the site had mod functions in the chat! I know... It's not really necessary because there Is the ignore button and the chat gets refreshed by just reloading the page so it doesn't really matters. But when a bot spamming thousands of messages by second comes that's when it stops being fun and something needs to be done because normal spam in the chat doesn't fuck up the whole site and it's easy to ignore but this does. Maybe not precisely mod functions... after all that would ruin the chat a little.... so maybe just a cooldown? Something that allows to detect bot activity and kicks you from using the chat or mutes you if you go to fast like spamming hundreds of messages in less than a minute. And of course make it ip based.
I get what he is doing, he is using some kind of bot that changes his IP by literally every second that passes and opens multiple instances of the site, that seems to overload the map and the chat counter (it counts like 999999999999 different users by second so of course it gets crashed) and that's why the chat and the map get crashed, also why the site is getting slow. He tried to spam the IB too but I rangebanned him before he could continue (rangeban because I banned him like two times and figured he would keep going precisely because of his constant IP change)
It's as easy as banning his browser or IP range from accessing the site, I recall hearing that somehow if you fucked up badly the site would redirect you to a rick astley video instead of bernd.group (I think it was if you tried to run javascript on the browser console or use inspect element too much). Why not do that to him?
Eventually I will code an imageboard software that works that will be available for anyone to use like lynxchan, but as a docker container as well as being on 2024 technology standards, meaning no bugs a nice responsive UI that potential new young users that obviously aren't used to 2005 PHP sites (and therefore will hate) will like too.
