There is a predictions to open registrations on the Kutt website? I tried to shorten a link. But it does not work. image

thank you. AlvesRO.

Why is it disabled and why can't we shorten links?

poeti8 commented 3 years ago

Hey guys, really sorry for that. Unfortunately the number of phishing and malware links have been increasing a lot and it's really hard for me, one person, to put hours every day to take care of the reports. And if I don't, the server provider would shut the website down, not to mention that people would potentially lose money over these phishing links.

I'm already using Google Safe API to detect spams but it's not enough, so until the number of spam links gets decreased and I find a better way to prevent spams and handle the reports I'm gonna keep the sign-in disabled for a short while.

Is there any ETA Signups become alive again ?

francisyzy commented 2 years ago

@poeti8 was thinking if you can enable signups but only for people with custom domains so that they can use this service without affecting the kutt.it domain phishing/malware rating as they are forced to use their own domain rating.

poeti8 commented 2 years ago

@francisyzy Hmm that's a good idea! I'll see if I find time to implement this.

CaptnCodr commented 2 years ago

or some kind of invitation from administrators.

So, we can basically not use this repo because also obtaining an apiKey is not possible, am I right?

elimisteve commented 2 years ago

@focusonyoursite The Kutt software works fine when you set it up on your own domain. I did just that and my instance is independent of https://kutt.it/ , and so it works :+1: .

This is the first one for this issue, the related ones are dupe.

The service still works if you had an existing account before the abuse started and the new account signups are disabled.

I think kutt.it was flagged as a dangerous domain previously due to the abuse and thus new signups are disabled

Need one (or two) of them open so I can track it.
