theres some ass submitting a map every second on numa, he must have written some kind of program but the point is someone has to ban him quick... hes submitted over 450 maps in like 10 minutes....

Yeah! I just wanted to write about this. It's epic, seriously. Something like when someone (don't remember who, really) posted 100+ comments on a map. Although I have a map submitted recently that disappeared from first pages, this kind of events happen rare.

Edit: This is a proof that we need map cap (I think that's how it's called). And, for the record, the user is bumajan.

Edit 2: He stopped submitting "maps".

Edit 3: Accordingly it's Calcy, and it's also quite possible this is a bug.

Edit 4: He continued with spamming.

Dickweed posted 725 maps within a minute. That deserves some respect, in the way you have to respect Hitler for his power, but still think that he's a douchebag bacause of it.

That was interesting.

I log onto NUMA for the first time in a month... well a little more than a month, and what should I see? But an massive map spamming spree!

What bothers me is that anyone with even a tiny bit of experience in programming or at least a little scripting can easily make a program to do this and not be auto-banned. I think that the information contained for each user should be extended to include a set of dates (64-bit of course to prevent epic failing in 2038 :D) that the last maps were posted at. If the last few maps were posted too close together, the user is temporarilly banned from posting new maps while the moderators look into it.

EDIT: Or it could just check to see if you have 2 maps on the hot maps list. If you do, it fails to add the map to NUMA and returns an error message saying "Stop spamming nubcake"... only nicer.... maybe.

I do like how moderators/administrators/whoever were/was able to fire a doom cannon and instantly (or close enough) destroy all the spammed maps. Otherwise that would've been one big mess to clean.
ExüberNewsFeed: Exuberance is mostly <AFF> (Away From Forums) for a while, though I may still participate in epic contests/threads. When I return, I shall bring several comic updates (enough to finish season 1) and hopefully 1 or 2 games- at least one of which is N-related
Comic Activity-O-Meter: (how often I'm updating my comic)
(Click here to see what each level and half-level means in terms of updates per time period)

NOTE: If I just add a bunch of comics in one day, but plan on going back to normal after that, I probably won't update the status.
+ Dead: Canceled. Done. Maybe you'll get a random comic like once a year, but it's pretty much done.
- Zombie (Dead/Comatose): The comic is probably done regular updates forever, but I'll probably still add something once in a blue moon. It's still POSSIBLE, that I'll raise the status up, but not very likely. Maybe I'll have a comicplosion for like a week, then go back to being dead
+ Comatose: Complete stand-by. No (or very few) updates for some amount of time, but the comic's far from being over
- <AFK> (Comatose/Loitering): Stand-by, but you might possibly count on a few updates once and a while. Again, this is temporary
+ Loitering: Like comatose, but for short amount of times.
- Turtling (Loitering/Semi-Active): Really slooooww updates
+ Semi-Active: One every 2 weeks...ish?
- Quasi-Active (Semi-Active/Active): Averaging about 2 comics every 3 weeks
+ Active: Loosely defined status, but about a weekly update
- Over-Active (Active/Power-leveling): About 2 comics a week
+ Power-leveling: About 3 comics a week. Possible a schedule, possibly not
- Über-Epic (Power-leveling/COMICPLOSION!!): In some cases, this may actually be mean updates more frequently than COMICPLOSION!!, but I'm defining this level as a non-organized comic rush, kind of like a few days after my comic started
+ COMICPLOSION!!: Daily updates for a minimum of 5 days (since the daily updates started. It remains at this status until the 5, 7, whatever days are done)

I got a bunch of PMs and Steam messages about this. The Steam messages came as I was at rest. The last of the Steam messages I received, from Yahoozy, forced me to close Steam for waking me up too much.

I was annoyed.

Calcy? Calcy wouldn't do this. There's no reason for Calcy to do this. Calcy? Does he even still know where NUMA is now? Did he say anything? Did you just make this assumption because you saw "calc" on the maps? If so, don't go around congratulating people who make that connection. Calcy? No. This isn't Calcy.

I don't believe Calcy did this too.

And if he did, why would he put his name (or some part of it) to his map?

Anyway, I'm glad that I was not on Numa while it happened.

'nid got back to me on the IP.

As it turns out, there are no direct matches. But there are a list of probable matches, with one of them being extraordinarily probable.

With nothing certain, however, I don't want to implicate anyone for having caused this. Let's just say it's narrowed down to 10 people, until we have any confessions.

EdoI said something about it possibly being Calcy. I was just commenting on that and laughed because from what I can understand (and which is even more confirmed for me by Dave's recent posts) is that the person in question just wanted to get 174000 and happened to continue posting for about 270 maps afterward. I don't know if they were banned at that point or what happened. (There's some talk of Sept being magic on the maps after bumajan stops posting, specifically http://www.nmaps.net/174275 AND http://www.nmaps.net/174271 .)

It'll be nice to know who did this but I'm not going to be upset with the person, whether it was a regular or not.

If there were *any* argument to why we should have a map-submission limit, this is it. I move that we implement a limit that is less strict than two per-week, but more strict than five per day. I'm not sure why we wouldn't have this limit at this point, particularly for new users (Below Ten / fifty Maps).

I think five to ten map subs a day would work out.

The only reason that this failed was because it was five map subs every second. The problem here is not really a human issue, it's an issue with website vulnerability. If a system could be instituted to stop that buja dude's sort of behavior, but allow every other mapper to notice no change to the maintenance of the site, I'd be all for it.

Oh, and IP controls / IP bans for NUMA's admins. =D

Tokens? Baubles? Plinko?

No. Just ten a day. Ten a day is fine. Why make it a game?

My guess is that it was Meatpuppet. Later that day, he commented on one of my newest maps nearly 100 times in a matter of seconds. Is he on that list?
