Really stupid things that people have said about Modded MC(Off topicness makes moderators tired)

[CoolSquid]

So, I tried commenting something like "This site is illegal" stuff on 9minecraft, and the comment doesn't even get through. How do you get your "This site is illegal" comments um... "approved"?

Links and mentions needs approval.

Filing a DMCA requires using one's real identity, not an option open to me.
However, I had an idea: Is it possible to make a file "know" where it was downloaded from/perform some action in a file on download?

You could possibly check the browser download log. We could send 9minecraft some *interesting* files though...

And I got 20+ likes for calling them stupid.

I know. I've tracked down 90% of the posts from your forum thread.

Why not just use Java? Go with the game's native language...I'm assuming that's why most Minecraft utilities are written in Java. Except MultiMC. That's made in wonderful, tasty C++.

Though, if we're going with joke suggestions, I suggest we use C++. That will scare enough cowards away that only REAL MEN (TM) will be making said GUIs.

I was talking about how we could be laughing at javascript and all that jazz. Not about the GUIs

Interesting bieffect of antipiracy work: 100 likes in a few days...

I think I should make a list of untrustable sites now.

Probably...I mean their must be information that got stored, but it would be on the home computer and probably very hard to find/decode

And very much taboo to touch from a Minecraft mod.

Not really, we won't even think about saving it.

It would be extremely taboo

Saving what exactly?

 

[CoolSquid]

Saving what exactly?

Saving the downloads.

It would, but it would protect the user at the same time. I probably won't implement it though. It would require me to make privacy policies and stuff.

 

[mcalpha]

Saving the downloads.

We might be talking about different things. What I mean is: if a mod just for "protection" purposes (DRM much?) or the like reads my browser history, or really anything outside of /minecraft/, no code from that developer will ever run on my systems again.

As I said, I won't implement it. By the way, I support DRM to some degree (prevent illegal redistribution), even in mods. I don't support working outside the Minecraft folder though (that's why I won't implement it).

Wow. What an ass of a a site to claim the mods belongs to them.

Seems legit. /s

The guy that owns all the sites probably.

Now, that's a fascinating idea. It'd probably throw up red flags for every anti-virus made, though, since to do the latter, you'd basically need to emulate the behaviour of auto-executing malware. It probably requires writing the code in such a way that it fools the target OS into thinking its something that needs to be executed right now. How you'd do that, though, is far beyond my talents.

I made a list of those websites.

Far beyond mine too .

Perhaps I can make the file edit done serverside (if Google sites allows me to encode such a thing into a link)?

I was hoping to go for the former, but I doubt that sort of data gets encoded anywhere. Another idea is a file hash, but that does not solve the problem if they ship the original file unmodified (even though they do often add spyware and other malware).
