| Dec 7, 2015 at 7:16 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | @MadaraUchiha At this point, nothing. Authentication may be implemented in a future release. I'm still working out how to do it. That being said, it would take a considerable amount of effort to abuse the system - it's fairly complex. | |
| Dec 7, 2015 at 7:08 | comment | added | Madara's Ghost | How does one identify against the server? i.e. what's stopping me from opening a dummy Socket connection under your name and start broadcasting false information about you? (Or worse, about 10 users at the same time and drive everyone crazy with neverending Typing... animation)? | |
| Dec 7, 2015 at 2:16 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | @Emrakul yup, the server rejects connections from clients when the same user and room are provided. | |
| Dec 7, 2015 at 2:14 | comment | added | user29133 | @NathanOsman Hmm, I can see that. It does look like it's limiting its ability to fetch the current status of everyone else, though. Maybe that's by-design? Thanks for checking, by the way! | |
| Dec 7, 2015 at 2:11 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | @Emrakul that's a limitation - it won't allow the same person to be in the same room more than once. Only one will work at a time. | |
| Dec 7, 2015 at 1:40 | comment | added | user29133 | I've noticed something which I think is a bug - when I have multiple instances of chat open in the same chatroom, one of the two fails to load the icons. I'm not sure how to go about looking into this in a helpful way, though. | |
| Dec 7, 2015 at 1:40 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | @MadaraUchiha I have posted a detailed explanation in an answer for you. | |

| Dec 6, 2015 at 18:30 | comment | added | user3459110 | Discussion copy-over from Chat: Well, how does it verify that the user sending the request to the central server is the one he claims he is? What if I send them random payloads informing mod Madara Uchiha is typing since the last 80 hours or so? (also nice work) | |
| Dec 6, 2015 at 18:27 | comment | added | Madara's Ghost | How does this script work with private rooms like the Teachers' Lounge? What information does it track exactly? | |
