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)

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.

All proof is removed by a moderator.

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Basically, if one or more mods is outdated, it creates a little marquee at the top of the page which scrolls through the outdated mods, showing the current (here "Source Code") and newest (public) versions.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.

External link, maybe? I see value in this as a "look at the mentality of the people on the other side" thing.

In all honesty people ban-baiting with throwaway accounts aren't even worth shaming.

Despite claims to the contrary, they are not always throwaways. CoolSquid blocked out the data on this account, but most of the accounts that harass me have existed for months or years.

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