Put the following into your lameness filter table:

INSERT INTO content_filters (regex, form, modifier,
field, ratio, minimum_match, minimum_length,
err_message) VALUES ('(?:\\s+\\.[^\\s]+)',
'comments', 'gi', 'postercomment', 0.0000, 5, 0,
'That\'s an awful lot of dotfiles there, Klerck.');

And Klerck's latest .page .widening .exploit should
be put to rest.

    No, that's not the right way to fix this. It was discovered when a user posted a legitimate list of dot-files from a unix directory; a fix should impact that as little as possible.

    how many times has someone pasted a list of dotfiles to
    slashdot in three years? compare that with the number of
    times klerck has posted the page widening post using this
    mechanism in the past two weeks.

    the lameness filter is known to restrict legit content. if
    someone wants to post a list of dotfiles, they could convey
    the dotfiles without the preceeding dot.

    more people read slashdot with IE than without. a fix has
    been provided, so just fix it, would you?

    If you don't want to catch it with the lameness filter,
    have the comment-munging code do something like
    s!(\s)\.!$1<span></span>.!g (or use a similarly-invisible
    HTML sequence) in order to break apart the space and
    period.

    "s!(\s)\.!$1<span></span>.!g"

    Yeah, that's more or less what we've been thinking, we just haven't gotten around to it. Part of the problem is that none of the Slash programmers use Windows, so testing this would be a pain.

    "the lameness filter is known to restrict legit content"

    Obviously we want that to happen as little as possible -- and I'm not inclined to inconvenience all our users just to work around one of Microsoft's bugs that only affects a tiny number of users.

    We'll fix this eventually but it's not my highest priority at the moment.

    "Obviously we want that to happen as little as possible -- and

    Jamie, you are so full of shit. Referrer logs have
    consistently shown that IE is the most widely used browser
    on slashdot. I seriously doubt that people are less likely
    to read comments with IE than with mozilla.

    And that lame comment about slash developers not using
    windows is not true, malda has said many times on slashdot
    that he has a windows partition for games.

    I'm at a bit of a loss as to what you want me to do. You
    guys are always wont to say "If you want a feature, submit a
    patch." Well, I submitted a patch; now why the hell are you
    making up excuses and evading any reasonable attempt to get
    this bug fixed? I hate Internet Explorer and Microsoft just
    as much if not more than your average Slashbot, but I'm not
    blinded by zealotry to the point that I can't see that more
    than 90% of the average Web audience uses IE. A
    "browser-specific" bug which affects 90% of your audience by
    no means "affects a tiny number of users." I studiously
    avoid using Windows as much as I can help, but for those
    times when I absolutely must boot into that horrible OS,
    Internet Explorer is the only reasonable browser choice
    available; this page-widening exploit annoys me to no end.
    Please put a stop to it.

    The tiny number of users is those who read at -1.

    what is the point of a lameness filter? if only a few
    people read slashdot at -1, then why not allow ascii art
    through?

    Jamie, a quick look at your website
    http://jamie.mccarthy.vg/ seems to reveal that you are in
    fact running *Internet Explorer* on MacOS X. And as a
    Slashdot Editor, it is surely in your best interest to
    browse at -1 (to spot moderation abuse, flag bad posters,
    and all that). So you should have more than ample reason
    to fix this patch, for your own sake!

    Jamie the Slashdot loser wrote, "none of the
    Slash programmers use Windows." Oh really, Jamie? Well then
    how does Taco play those "l337" Windows games that he's
    always babbling about? He was on the Diablo II ladder
    during the beta, quite a few months before it was ported to
    Mac OS IIRC. He's enjoyed similar forays into the worlds of
    The Sims and Black and White. Can't you idiots drop your
    rabid anti-Windows sentiment long enough to understand that
    no matter how much IP Miguel de Icaza steals from
    Microsoft, more than 50% of your crappy site's readers will
    always be using a Microsoft OS? Your unsuccessful attempts
    to make yourself look elitist only make the rest of us
    laugh harder.

    I like reading \. at -1 (I have +ve karma, I just like the
    more inventive trolls) and Klerk's page widening is a real
    pain in the arse.

    At least he has the decency to use his account - I think he
    want to collect foes - but when an AC copies him I can't
    read that thread - at work at any rate have to use IE and
    Windows there.

    Good job I'm not paying per page loaded or it would really
    piss me off.

    1) I am a subscriber
    2) I am forced to use IE at work
    3) I enjoy reading at -1

    It now costs me *real money* when I try to read the
    comments and must reload because of these posts. It has
    clearly annoyed me enough to come here and complain. How
    many times does someone need to post not just a directory
    listing but a directory listing full of . files?

    Hey! Another reason to not fix the bug! It forces reloads.
    I'm MAKING MONEY FOR YOU!

    It's not a bug, it's a feature...

    I think I'll keep flooding Crashdot with these page
    widening posts. Thanks for letting me know how much they
    piss everyone off.

    Jamie, as moderators aren't we supposed to be reading at -1
    to watch for moderation abuse? I am no longer willing to
    browse at -1 until this is fixed. It's not worth it.

    Furthermore, what if someone with a +1 bonus decided to do
    this? Similar things have happened before... or have you
    forgotten what Pascal Q. Porcupine did... or Signal 11...
    or Enoch Root... or others.

    Frankly, this is an important bug. /Please/ fix it.
    You've been given the patch, all you have to do is stick it
    into slashcode.

    Quite honestly guys, I think the page widening posts are
    hilarious. But of course, I am running Mozilla, so it
    doesn't happen to me. They were original when they first
    came out, but now it's just funny that you guys are taking
    so long to fix what any large corporation would consider a
    Sev2 ticket.

    And you know you browse at -1 to bitchslap users, and you
    know that most of them use IE cause they're at work, and you
    know that absolutely everyone can't stand page lengthening,
    but yet we should be reading at -1 to help your
    pay-for-better-useage site look better to the majority of
    readers? You guys are stupid.

    Also, while I'm at it: Why is it ok to mirror all those
    story submissions on a site like AlterSlash, but not the
    comments? They're all coming from other people, which means
    they should all be 'copyright of the poster' not your site.
    You guys suck.

    You don't mind screwing up links, which are posted in
    nearly every story, yet you don't want to mess up someone's
    ability to enter a list of dotfiles?

    Priorities...

    "I can see that words are coming out of your mouth, but all
    I hear is 'blah, blah, blah'"

    How about CT use some of that magic mojo that he uses to
    tell us what percent of users read comments, and tell us
    what percent of users use IE?

    How about at least being honest and putting a "Page best
    viewed WITHOUT IE" link on the pages?

    How about not being such a collection of twats? I'm gonna
    buy something from VA, when they don't have a single
    machine with a Microsoft OS available? Here's a hint: take
    a ratty old box, buy a copy of Windows '98 from one of the
    vendors on pricewatch for ~$100. You can do the occasional
    page view from a Pentium 133 or thereabouts. Certainly
    somebody must have a collection of old computer parts that
    would let you put together a system for no other reason
    than to view a page with the most popular browser in the
    world. Or are you 1337 uber-hax0rs incapable of putting
    together your own box and installing Windows? Now we know
    where all of the comments about the difficulty of
    installing Windows comes from (FWIW, I just walked my
    *mother* through a Win'98 install over the phone.)

    I no longer feel the slightest twinge of remorse over ad-
    blocking.
