What a shame... people using their powers for good, and then these guys just shitting on everyone.

You have to look very carefully at contributions after this.

You didn't before? The past was a Golden Age of Trust where you could accept unvetted contributions from all and sundry, without danger of subversive malware and spam ads?

I remember when "open uploads" BBS file sections were possible, and how much crap they accumulated.

the Tragedy of the Commons isn't a new story.
