One Million Checkboxes

Which MMO was that in? I'm working on my own and now I have a new worry on my plate. Short of standard moderation, an algorithm to detect it could be interesting.
You could search for the article about how the Lego mmo (or that's what i think it was) was shut down, then stop worrying about it. Unless you want to spend the rest of your natural life on detecting penises, swastikas and everything else. I mean, everything is offensive to someone.
I realized it would be easy enough to detect when certain lines are forming and manually shuffling the players a few spots, but your comment made me smile. Somewhere in there is the start of a biography title.

People draw these things precisely because of this kind of pearl clutching overreaction

#244I was excited by the colored boxes!

Is it ok if I try to write a script to uncheck all the boxes? I don’t want to spam your server and ruin it for everyone if there’s no rate limiting. (I wince mentioning this publicly; still have flashback trauma from when some HNer wrote a script to download as much data as possible from our Firebase and got a $1k bill overnight.)
Hi! Sorry it took me a bit to get to this, I've been hacking to keep the server up for the last several hours.
Lots of people are botting, I don't think there's anything wrong if you bot too. There's a tiny bit of client-side rate limiting and originally i had server side rate limiting too, but I got rid of that a while ago (I was cutting anything I could to speed things up).
Re: One Million Checkboxes
#246At first I was clicking the top but people kept unchecking my stuff. Why can't we (we ? who's that we ?) all get along toward clicking them all ? So I figured there would be less people fighting down the window, right ? For a while I was alone. It was a boring and meaningless job but it felt peaceful. Then I met someone who's also checking boxes, 5 seconds top, they are gone. Okay, then I kept scrolling, checking box…
I jumped to a random spot, very far down. I decided to write HELLO in checks. I didn't get past the H before someone found me and griefed it. Must this 1 million checkbox ledger of art, devolve into madness? No matter how far I scroll there is nothing discernable. A wasteland of meaninglessness. This is just chaos.
Re: One Million Checkboxes
#247All the boxes must be checked. To whoever is unchecking them, please reconsider and come over to the checked side.
I did 1k (0.1 percent) then figured I'd done my job. No scripts, just human labor/algorithm.
Could I boost it to 2-5x time with a simple JS script? Sure. However I figured rate limits were in place/that wasn't the spirit of...whatever this is.
Reminds me of Peter Molyneux's Curiousity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curiosity%3A_What%27s_Inside_t...
Re: One Million Checkboxes
#248there are a lot of great usage patterns going on.
i saw checked boxes hit almost 800K and then start dropping fast.
i've seen every other checkbox get checked on the entire screen in a second. some great scripting going on and i'm sure a lot insight is being learned by watching the tech stack handle these loads.
i noticed initially log messages were showing one check box change at a time but at some point updated to batching which is great. release and optimize!

How much is all this costing you?

Cool! Sorry that my comment read like an accusation, should have clicked/tapped the link ;) Not following links is a bad habit easy to pick up on mobile.
On iOS long pressing a link so it previews is very nice for these kind of things. I only wished you were able to scroll inside that popup/preview.
