Like spamming

[toadlyBroodle]

Able to spam like button every second: bug or feature?

[KotlinGeekDev]

Please can you explain what you mean by that?

[toadlyBroodle]

You can 'like' things more than once, by clicking like every second, you can increase 'like' count as high as you have patience for. These likes register on other clients as well, thus you can use this bug to spam the network.

Not in the latest version. Please update.

[toadlyBroodle]

Right on, can confirm fixed since 0.10.4

[toadlyBroodle]

No. It was possible to increment likes indefinitely high in 0.10.4, which would propagate to the network and even other clients would rank popularity of spammed posts based on false like-counts.

[vitorpamplona]

@toadlyBroodle frankly, people that are ranking on likes need to filter duplicates anyway. Client apps might help, but in the end, users can always broadcast as many likes as they want. It's their bug.
