camerondoherty · Answer

oic

paki · Answer

@thomaster  there were at least more than 10 questions at the same time... also the user was OFFLINE at that time...

thomaster · Answer

well then it's probably someone experimenting with javascript in the browser console. just a nuisance.

camerondoherty · Answer

I still dont see this though...
Would you mind linking me there?
I'd Like to have a look for myself...

paki · Answer

camerondoherty · Answer

Yea i looked at the pdf...
Kinda hard to believe though

abhisar · Answer

@thomaster by experimenting the java console of the browser ?
Is it possible ?

thomaster · Answer

the questions were deleted like 10 hours ago @camerondoherty

thomaster · Answer

@Abhisar oh sure it is. The website is actually just an interface to use the server. The server executes all the requests, like a chat message, a new question, a fan. You click in the interface, the interface sends a request to the server through javascript in the console of the browser. You can manually insert those requests in the console to make the server think you clicked somewhere on the site. I can make a new question in the chrome console, it's easy. But this guy bypassed the restriction of 1 question per user per section somehow. Normally the server would return an error because there's already a question open.

abhisar · Answer

Interesting...!
and i know for sure that you can post more than one question using the ios app

thomaster · Answer

well perhaps he did it on an iDevice, like an iPad

camerondoherty · Answer

Wait sooo...
If he was using an iDevice...
Does that mean you can evade suspension on the app?
As well as ask many questions?

acxbox22 · Answer

i guess

anonymous · Answer

what are we doing here

abhisar · Answer

i dont know about evading suspension, but yes you can ask more than one question at a time. Many users using the ios do that.

anonymous · Answer

I wonder how the site keeps track of users.  He could have simply been using a proxy and changing IP and/or changing his mac address.  I bet that the mechanisms for tracking these things is pretty lax.

anonymous · Answer

This person is actually a very old troll. Also you can ask multiple topics in a sections long as you pick different sub topics each time in the section so lets say math you pick algebra, and ask a question and then you can pick calculus and ask another question and both of them will appear in mathematics section.

anonymous · Answer

But the way this guys doing it, I have no idea...

zepdrix · Answer

And he's back :O
