It's disappointing someone discovered it did not filter dupes and decided to post, many times apparently, "WE CAN FLOOD IT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T FILTER DUPES". I'm certain they felt clever in doing so.

Well, hopefully it makes something fun even better by highlighting its flaws. Like Pwn2Own in that regard.

It seems like highlighting the structural insufficiency of a sand castle by stomping on it.

I seem to get FRESH COFFEE (NOT STARBUCK) an awful lot. None of mine seem to be making it in either, yet I don't think it's moderated as there are plenty of "offensive" messages in there.

We made a decision early on not to censor, though the hacker news crowd has upped the frat-house humor. Funny that people still try to inject javascript...

You should probably at least make sure that each post is unique though, looking at the source that's why I kept getting the NOT STARBUCK one, it's been submitted multiple times

Why?

Because people like me, when they enter a message, will sit here and click over and over until they see their own message. And with the number of flood posts etc. you never get to see your message because it's buried in the crap, which is frustrating.

You can get around it by firstly removing any message that isn't unique, and it might also be a good idea to have a timeout where you don't accept another submission.

Clearing the input box between submissions would stop people from just clicking the share button multiple times too, then they'd at least have to paste the text in before clicking submit again.

Also consider this scenario:

        javascript:for(var i=0;i<10;i++){$("#thought_message").val("spammy message");$( "#new_thought" ).submit();};void(0);

It's very cool by the way. If it wasn't I wouldn't care.

Glad you liked it.

I've filtered dups and cleaned up the submit process so it makes it a little harder to spam, but I guess it just seems silly to me to try and actually stop spam on the internet.

Yeah it's like herding cats. Good work anyway.

Penis was the first 'happy thought' that came up... it seems when we give people absolute freedom and anonymity, penis will always appear in some form.

It goes horribly wrong in Opera. Clicking for the next happy thought reveals a huge block of raw HTML, and God help you if you click more than twice.

Turns out that Opera does css colors it's very own special way. Fixed.

One of the first things it suggested to me was "Weed"

I totally agree with that idea.

This site is great. Love everything about it.
