Description

https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes

currently enumerates pastes that are obviously spam and unsolicited advertising, like "XXX", "SEX" and the like, pasted with the maximum duration of 3 months. would it be possible to limit the maximum duration to one month?

Also, can we remove the enumeration https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes alltogether or at least require a login for visiting that page? that would remove the incentive for spam somewhat.

Last but not least, it would be great to have a T&Cs that you need to explicitly click before pasting content.

it should at least cover these terms:


If you post material to the Website, post links on the Website, or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) material available by means of the Website (any such material, “Content”), You are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content. That is the case regardless of whether the Content in question constitutes text, graphics, an audio file, or computer software. By making Content available, you represent and warrant that:

the downloading, copying and use of the Content will not infringe the proprietary rights, including but not limited to the copyright, patent, trademark or trade secret rights, of any third party;
if your employer has rights to intellectual property you create, you have either (i) received permission from your employer to post or make available the Content, including but not limited to any software, or (ii) secured from your employer a waiver as to all rights in or to the Content;
you have fully complied with any third-party licenses relating to the Content, and have done all things necessary to successfully pass through to end users any required terms;
the Content does not contain or install any viruses, worms, malware, Trojan horses or other harmful or destructive content;
the Content is not spam, is not machine- or randomly-generated, and does not contain unethical or unwanted commercial content designed to drive traffic to third party sites or boost the search engine rankings of third party sites, or to further unlawful acts (such as phishing) or mislead recipients as to the source of the material (such as spoofing);
the Content is not pornographic, does not contain threats or incite violence, and does not violate the privacy or publicity rights of any third party;
your content is not getting advertised via unwanted electronic messages such as spam links on newsgroups, email lists, blogs and web sites, and similar unsolicited promotional methods;
your content is not named in a manner that misleads your readers into thinking that you are another person or company; and
you have, in the case of Content that includes computer code, accurately categorized and/or described the type, nature, uses and effects of the materials, whether requested to do so by SUSE or otherwise.

(probably replace SUSE by openSUSE)

  • Category set to Paste
  • Private changed from Yes to No

We do already have a system to tag pastes as spam and ham and moderators can also step in to remove malicious pastes. We also have a job which removes some known bad patterns automatically. But it's unfortunately hard to keep up.
Requiring to accept terms, captchas, or any other layer in between creating a paste would unfortunately make the paste service rather inferior compared to other paste services, it's common to ask users to pipe commands into susepaste when providing support for example.

Restricting access to /pastes sounds like a reasonable idea.

No particular opinion regarding lowering the maximum expiration time, but if not too technically challenging I would propose to only have this 1 month limitation for anonymous users, so logged in users can still benefit from the current expiration options.

This sounds good. Should I close https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/168709
