Like, do they not worry about people just editing everything and inserting porn or something? I doubt that they were smart enough to use branch protection. To be fair, when you're sending a mass spam campaign, you already don't worry about your reputation anyway lol

nick,

Fun fact: I’m the reason people have to approve being added as collaborators for repos on GitHub now.

ryannathans,

Oh boy, go on…

I, too, am interested in the rest of the story

The whole dongml thing back in 2011

Reading the context of the YC post (post link is broken), this doesn’t seem like a thing I’d brag about. Sounds like you were just being kind of an asshole, as well as intolerant. There are more amusing and less trollish ways to white/greyhat platforms to encourage people to fix them.

spambot has invited you to collaborate on we-had-a-baby-its-a-boy

Technus,

I once had a spambot @ me and like 100 other people I didn’t know on a repo I’d never touched before.

I reported it for spam and got an email from Github Support within an hour notifying me that they had taken action.

Aatube,

I remember that time [https://github.com/EpicGames/Signup/pull/24](some guy pinged nearly 40k people) and single-handedly delayed GitHub's email servers by about 4.18 hours

AVincentInSpace,

Your Markdown link is backwards. It should be [link text]/(url) (delete the slash obvs)
