Are the recent spammers due to no more 42? 

Yeah was wondering about that... Maybe just turn it off for regd users? 

when a post is flagged as spam, it no longer counts as a "new post" for anyone 

totally agree, i'ts on my to-do list 

<@negke> mods should be able to actually move a thread
<@negke> or convert topic<->news

Plus move discussion thread to GA.

Thanks xx 

mods should stop secretly editing other people's posts and putting things into other people's mouths. 

Drunken Scampie from like 9 years ago agrees too:

I was mad he changed my 'Other Games' thread to 'Other PC Games'. Go read the first 800 so posts, it's very much about all games. He only got away with it because I stepped down as mod year or so before that and thus couldn't fix my thread. 

Yeah I agree with those ideas 

What ARE you waffling on about now?

Next time I will look at the news section and post my maps there.. 

Get a sense of humour you choad. It's hardly secret editing. 

It SHOULD be tagged with a "- Moderator" or something. I don't think that's unreasonable. 

Sorry I SECRETLY EDITED the news post to put in the precious .zip link :P

Let's Encrypt is public and incredibly easy get a cert with via https://gethttpsforfree.com/

Would be great if func got HTTPS. 

what is the point of https unless you are doing things that need to establish encrypted comms? 

Why would you want to let state surveillance track all our behaviour and communications online? Why should shady agencies be invited to know what you are reading?

It's none of their business. Everything should be encrypted. 

We need a tinfoil hat emote too. Please add one for us NSA. 

i'm surprised it's a free service, since normally the price you're paying for a certificate is the security that the key is stored in. 

I'm open to this but sleepwalkr would have to do the actual setup, since i don't have access to install this kind of stuff AFAIK.

P.S. one obvious use for https is that you send your password over the internet when you log in (and after that you send a hashed password with every page request.) Asssuming you don't use your func password for any other website it's not a huge risk but still, why not make it more secure? 

One reason to care about https is that Google cares when listing search results: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2014/08/https-as-ranking-signal.html 

It's a joint effort by Mozilla, the EFF and others to make global HTTPS an easier target to reach. The private key nevers leaves your own infrastructure in any sane procedure.

Expensive certs might have more validation, LE is "just" domain based. You show that you control "quakewiki.org" and they sign your cert for it. "Blue" certs require more proof of your identity but are not necessary unless you are transferring actually sensitive data like money.

Any CA can be breached or made accomplice in MITM.
