Features for LL Script

Klove · 2004-10-12, 01:59 PM

Since I am building my own script, what would be your must need features in a LL script?

1) Categories
2) Partner Accounts
3) Customizability

Help me come up with a bunch of stuff

Stuff you wouldnt be able to live without.

Being able to blacklist on all kinds of different things.

Spot multiple submits in different ways.

Block auto submits.

I got two ways to stop multi-submits, cookies and recording ip's

Any other ideas out there?

captcha/human verification will stop most autosubmitters.

Other cool stuff will also break autosubmitters like assigning a public key and scrambling the form submission field names, and using that public key to decrypt the field names.

Recording IPs is not really that helpful -- its too easy to get proxy servers, a little more difficult to find clean proxy servers.

Perl's LWP will handle cookies without a problem -- even across sessions, however, if I don't accept your cookie, when I autosubmit and you find no cookie, am I able to resubmit because you don't think I submitted?

I'm writing a new LL management system myself within the next few months.

One handy feature I'll be sure to implement in my own is a method for allowing users to report a bad/abusive link. If you implement this make sure you make the user tell you why they are reporting the site, maybe with a form (comments box, radio buttons with pre defined reasons, etc.). If you don't make them do this they will click and report links for the hell of it and it will be useless.

Users like clicking things to see what they do. Make them do a little work and they won't click more than they have to.

I love this monkey.

- Automatically edit titles and descriptions to a format choosen by you.
- Banned word list
- Possibility to ban certain sponsors or affilate codes
- Transparent blacklist
- Cron for automatic update on already reviewed sites so you actually can take a few days rest now and then.

If anyone knows of a script - or mods for links2.0 - that do this I'll be happy to know.

More Good Ideas, thanks.

I've spent that last 2 days coding my LL script, Im inputing submits by hand, because I haven't dont any error checking todate, and dont want the public messing with the script.

I've gotten it Broken down into categories, and it works pretty damn good so far.

Now I just need to get every page/category that I want up so I can persue programming the script.

Most of these features seem very easy to implement.

Another Day, My Script is now up and running at smutdaily.net

Took a lot of work 3 days of intense coding to get this far.

1. Accept Submits
- Auto Response E-mail Is Sent

2. Reviews Submits
- Add Them To The Link List
- Check Back Links, To See If They Exist
- Auto Response Acceptance E-Mail
- Delete Submits

3. Displaying Links
- I display 7 day old Links on the main page
- Category Links are Randomly Displayed

What im working on tomorrow.

Being able update submits from the admin panel, and impement a banned list.

This is more fun than making free sites and submitting them all day.

Ohhhhh, one that Danny posted would be handy:

- Possibility to ban certain sponsors or affilate codes

I wouldn't have thought of it, but that makes so much sense for when a sponsor goes belly up & redirects to pop up hell or starts installing dialers etc.

Klove · 2004-10-15, 08:53 PM

Adding a few ban lists are easy, I think the hard ones will be getting to do a lookup on the domain, and checking for banned registrars and hosts.

Well Today is Another day,

I implemented,

Empty field submission checks today
Impletented the two easiest ways to block submits to every 24 hours, as I discussed above. Next is to try some of the harder stuff.
Implemented one way to block autosubmiter scripts.

Was a busy little day, maybe tomorrow Ill get around to the ban lists atleast partially.

Just to make sure I'm reading this right - you want to be able to scan a submitted site and reject it if it contains certain affiliate codes? Is that right?

Klove · 2004-10-16, 09:35 AM

correct, like those sites that promoted drunk moms doing theiy boys. etc etc.
