You don’t need to stop them, you just need to make the effort not be worth it compared to using a different site. Things like making sure they have a valid session cookie before they hit the payment flow, and, ideally, require them to be logged in too. That way you can block attacking accounts, and they have to go through the effort of registering a new one, which is, hopefully, well gated against automated attacks.
That’s fine, so long as the limit is set to 0MPH. Anyone getting that many speeding tickets shouldn’t be driving.
Alternatively, they could have sent the security team an email with the ‘carrot’ and saying “There seems to be fundamental, systemic, security issues in Forgejo; here’s some proof. There’s too much for me to raise individual reports, what are we going to do about it?”
Because I am literally replying to someone who is showing strong hints of supporting the Jeffrey Epstein class
I’ve re-read their post, and I don’t see any attempt to support anything, so much as calmly pointing out that burning down warehouses isn’t going to have much effect, as the cost will just be passed down the chain, ultimately to the consumers. You can be certain that, should that happen, there would be enough of a media deluge telling people that rising prices are the fault of “domestic terrorists”, or similar, that the population as a whole would tend to turn again the agitators, rather than against the warehouse companies (who they’re never really heard of), or the retailers (who just say “sorry, nothing we can do, our costs went up”). It’s a sad state of affairs, but people will more readily blame the active participant in this sort of thing.
I refer to the rest of your first post as “arrant nonsense” because it is basically just a violent fantasy wrapped up in ranting and profanity. As I said, that obscures any point you were trying to make.
Dude. Are you American?
No. I’m not going to say my taxes haven’t funded unjust wars and violence, but over time I’ve done what I can to ensure my voice is heard in opposition to that.
Ever since the “grab them by the pussy” scandal I developed a very strong loss of faith over the American population and also the entire world.
Let’s say I’ve been cynical about them for a lot longer than that, but, yes, that was so breathtakingly brazen, and has so little effect, it would be hard not to be shaken.
I was a teenager who has seen people becoming worse, more racist, more disgustingly evil, especially recently with Gaza, Israel, the way Zionists, Netanyahu supporters talk and express themselves…
I’m sorry you have to live through this. Evil seems particularly emboldened right now, and it should disgust any reasonable person. Honestly though, the evil has always been there, it was just more subtle. When I was that age, we lived under the threat of nuclear annihilation, and somehow that feels less evil.
How exactly do you plan to communicate with all those angry people whose families you killed and then you justified it, laughed about it, celebrated it, taunted us and called us terrorists even when we spoke about it nicely?
Fortunately there are none of those, as I haven’t done that. However, I would suggest that, calmly, ackowledging their anger is justified, and ignoring their insults, might be a good start.
You blaming them, and saying that being angry “obscurs” their “arrant nonsense” argument
I’m not blaming you, but I am saying that you’re not communicating effectively. The points, as far as I can tell, in your comnent, basically amounted to “more violence, the people will rise up”, which is a fantasy, rather than a plan.
The only thing you did was show people that you seem to support the Jeffrey Epstein class,
This seems to be your go-to insult, and, I’m going to be honest, it’s not very effective, especially when it’s doesn’t really relate to what the person said.
otherwise, why would you attack me? For the misuse of a word, really? Just that?
I haven’t attacked you, I pointed out that the word you used did not mean what you intended, and, in the context of your argument, that was quite important, then that the rest of your comment seemed like little more than violent fantasy, although I’m now wondering if this is more of a language and cultural misunderstanding. You, on the other hand, have been slinging insults at people quite freely though, and, again, that doesn’t really help you get your point across.
I suspected that English might not be your first language, which is why I refrained from doing more than pointing out that riot was very much not the right word. As you say, “boycott” or even “protest” would have been better choices.
I will say you do a far better job of comnunicating in English than I would in Spanish, but you do come across as rather abrasive and “ranty”, which obscurs whatever point you may have been trying to make.
Words have meanings. Specifically, they’re only useful as a means of communication if both parties have the same understanding of that meaning. The word “riot”, for example, has a specific set of meanings; depending on your dictionary they’ll be along the lines of:
a noisy, violent public disorder caused by a group or crowd of persons, as by a crowd protesting against another group, a government policy, etc., in the streets.
Or perhaps the more formal:
a disturbance of the public peace by three or more persons acting together in a disrupting and tumultuous manner in carrying out their private purposes.
What you wont find as a definition is “a lot of people online fuel that sentiment by being really loud about it”, because that is not a riot.
I didn’t address the rest of your post because it is, I’m afraid, similar arrant nonsense. What you wrote is, at best, a cathartic fantasy, but not in any meaningful way rooted in reality.
riots
quit Netflix
Make up your mind.
Consumers will riot if those prices get too high. You saw it happen to Netflix and many others.
Ah yes, the fanous Netflix riots. They were mostly in Narnia, weren’t they?
They’re going to do a twist ending, Dallas style, mark my words! It’ll turn out that the entire season was just someone’s bad dream, and it’s all back to normal next season.
At least, they’d better…
To be fair, that will stop any 5g chips from affecting you.
Perfectly preserved bathroom corpse surprise
That’s my new band name sorted.
I can confirm, pretty much every UK household has one of those, they’re just one of those things you have in the kitchen.
‘What’s the best thing I can do as an individual?’ He said, ‘Stop being an individual.’
That’s something else authoritarians cannot understand or tolerate. It creates power where there was none before, and that is a danger to those in power.
People helping each other just because they can is an utterly alien concept to many on the right, who mostly seem to see aid or assistance as something transactional, where you only do it if there is a direct benefit to you personally. This makes them deeply suspicious of any group that actually works together.
You might want to try something like Anubis on both the signup and order pages. Real users will either not be stopped, or will only hit it once, and no user interaction is required to continue, but bot users will be slowed down enough to, hopefully, disuade them from returning.
