You better not fake signatures :p

But I like your signature, so I can require you to write it for me. If you do not give me your signature, you are a self-entitled fuck. (retrieved from Reddit, 2014)

@CoolSquid

How do you test for an internet connection to avoid the massive timeout lag? All I can think of is this:

Code: 
  private static boolean testInternetConnection() {
     try {
       Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ping -c 1 www.google.com");
       int returnVal = process.waitFor();
       return returnVal == 0;
     }
     catch (IOException e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
       return false;
     }
     catch (InterruptedException e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
       return false;
     }
   }

And that exec() call is not one I want to try, given how it is one hell of a security hole.

connection.setConnectTimeout(5000);
The code may be found here.

And it probably breaks outside of Windows.

You can open a connection from within Java code and set the timeout to some low value. And I think it's not even gonna wait for the timeout if no connection is there.
 
Think this will further impel people to update (the ones who simply ignore the chat message)?
Basically, if one or more mods is outdated, it creates a little marquee at the top of the page which scrolls through the outdated mods, showing the current (here "Source Code") and newest (public) versions.
Like the chat log, it can be disabled with a command, which keeps it disabled until I update again (meaning you fell back another version relative to latest).

There was a guy posting a antisemitic and racist post supporting reposts in the stop mod reposts thread. I have screenshots, but it's too inappropriate to show.

Lol. That looks like a really sad attempt at trying to discredit people. It makes the poster look really stupid.

I guess those people are not as much of obvious trolls than that guy in the picture.

The account was 4 months old. Only 5 posts though.
 
The problem is that everyone can create a smurf account and use it anonymously until it gets banned.
