    Well, if you want to stir the pot, there are heavy discussions on both sides of the fence. Personally, I don’t get all pedantic about it. To quote Ice Cube; ‘Do your thing man, fuck what they looking at’.

    As far as your post being deleted, it seems to be arbitrary at times and rather silent when courteous inquiries are made.

      Well, I noticed my post got moderated when I wasn’t able to reply to you, so here’s my reply :

      The very first Linux server I ever stood up got whacked. I got a nastygram from my host that he had shut it down because of malicious activity against other servers. So, from their standpoint, I can understand why.

      Yes, but they should warn before shutting down, give you at least a few hours to speak for yourself.

        IDK, if I were running the show, I’d probably have done the same thing especially when it started to involve other servers. I would assume that there would be some legal ramifications should it have just been ignored. It would have been good to observe to see if I could come up with who the puppeteer was, but I was super green then and probably wouldn’t have known where to start as far as forensics. I mean, if you get hacked, the knee jerk reaction is to pull the plug, but it would be more productive to do some forensics before killing the server.

          Yeah, I agree with ‘nuke first ask questions later’ when your compromised host is impacting other devices. If and only if i knew the attempts weren’t going anywhere or doing anything would I consider unicing the vm/container to see what happened.

            Now that I reflect on the embarrassment, it was a cheap, shared VPS and I’m pretty sure I was dogging the share. LOL Ahhhh…innocence. However, it was evident I needed some personal edification. Now, I am told, I over engineer security, but it works, so keep it the way it is.

        When you say moderated, do you mean a comment or did you do another post? if its a comment is that something your instance does? or did it just fail to send. you peaked my curiosity because I wasn’t aware of instances filtering comments, only posts.
