I just figured out how to spam a studio with projects...
Not that hard with jQuery AJAX and loops xD Probably should be patched unless we want *real* AE studios.

Ninja'd by several months. Except my script was for legit purposes 
Some manager dude deleted most projects and curators from a front-pages Beatles studio a while back, so I wrote a script to read activity logs and add them all back.

LOL looks like paddle2see sent you a “cease and desist” comment there. +1 on the “AT'er being busted by ST member for doing something harmless” meter! I think it's on 3 - kaj comments, comp09's test account, this!

@ChocolatePi - I wouldn't call it harmless. If the Scratch Team thinks it's harmful, it quite possibly is.

I agree. It does place unnecessary load on scratch servers. That's also why comp09's test account was warned.I think he means this one: https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/1231860/comments/#comments-12050712What comment?

We tried this once. We got up to a few tens of thousands of projects. It was back during the AT drama, so we even had a sentiment analyser that would detect “unhappy” or “happy” comments, and remove or add all of that user's projects, respectively.
The ST noticed. It added unnecessary bloat to their project–studio relation table! So we had to delete it. It was an interesting social experiment though

This is where having a local install of ScratchR2 would be helpful.

I guess you're right - the AT people kind of treat the servers as our playground, like Paddle2See once saidI agree. It does place unnecessary load on scratch servers.

Maybe we should stop messing with the APIs
(or at least sending bulk requests)

Ah yes, I remember that studio. The sentiment analyzer was really cool. We tried this once. We got up to a few tens of thousands of projects.

Thank you! Though it was basically just a simple Bayesian spam filter The sentiment analyzer was really cool.

I've jumped on the bandwagon of simple signaturesNope, that's not simple enough

Wow. I once tried to do this but canceled it because I wanted to keep my “Alerts” section clean (I only have two alerts so far, one is a false alert, and one is a nicey-nicey not-really-an-alert-but-a-private-message)
And I'm glad I did. I should experiment with “useful” stuff instead.. Like MAPU's nice example XD
