Possible Cloning Abuse

christian2000

I have found out that cloning and created blocks can be used to crash ones browser. This my seem obvious, but it could be used to prevent certain people from using/remixing projects.

There used to be a meaningful signature here.

Pretty much everything can be abused somehow. The key is just to report anything that does.

Like this?

Multidimensional Lists v2.0 || Sokoban Ultimate v1.0
Perfect Health Bars (stamping/costume) | 1s1s Onscreen Keyboard | Infinite Background Scrolling | Have a website?

What's the problem?

In all seriousness, though, there's a 300-clone limit. It might make some users' browsers lag a bit, but I think it's reasonable.

Is the 300 clone-limit for all clones, or clones of one sprite?

EDIT: Is this any different now?

I'm not sure.

That one makes a whole bunch of clones and then deletes them all—I don't think it goes over the limit, though.
