    My topsite web application I"m programming is getting near to being completed. It will feature automatic submission. But I fixed it good so no spamming like on tech-faq:D

    It strips out http://*. /folders
    so no subdomains or folders get into the list.
    If you trying to submit http://site.co.cc/proxy
    It would be stripped to "co.cc" and of course that would be checked if it already exists it probably will , so you will get "Invliad domain!" ;)

    Downside is domains like co.uk will not work becuase co.uk is already a subdomain. Guess small price to pay for preventing spam... also why the hell do uk domain put "co" on it? How retarded why not just .uk? ;)

    why hire if you can do it by yourself..

    if price doesn't matter to you, go for .com as it can help in promotion.

    You need to whitelist those tlds then problem sorted. No reason not to.

    Also, the way America did shit is retarded not the UK

    WE have .co.uk (.com)
    .gov.uk (.gov)
    .ac.uk (.edu)
    .police.uk (fuckknows)
    .army.uk (.mil)

    This is why there is co.uk because , .uk does alot of things - we arnt greedy!

    blah blah, whos done it retardedly? i think the UK has done it correctly.


    It should have been like that in the us

    .co.us (for example or whatever.us)
    .gov.us
    .edu.us / ac.us
    mil.us
    etc.us

    Its like companies buying a new domain when they should be using subdomains.

    MyCompany.com
    BlogMyCompany.com

    Your meant to put trust into things

    My method does not use a Whitelist or anything like that is just plan Regex.
    
    preg_match('@^(?:http://)?([^/]+)@i',"http://www.google.com", $matches);
    		$host = $matches[1];
    		preg_match('/[^.]+\.[^.]+$/', $host, $matches);
    		echo "domain name is: $matches[0]";
    PHP:
    Would output:
    "Domain name is google.com"

    If you put http://example.co.uk
    it would output "domain name is co.uk" lmao

    clearly you have to change that, you need to whitelist .co.uk in some form along with every other 2nd level tld and 3rd for that matter

    You can not just use one method for this or it will be flawed

    plenty of examples online

    Edit: If found a function that does the same but allows domains like "co.uk" to get in,
    http://www.namepros.com/programming/53456-parse-a-url-php-return-domain.html
    But it still would open it up to accept domains like co.cc which could be abused. I noticed people using co.cc on tech-faq, then when they click on it, it redirects to SEDO or to another proxy, so they just keep making new co.cc domains and redirecting them to their proxy to keep getting traffic. Obviously free domains and stuff like that lead to abuse, which Is why I'm putting the url threw that regex to stop that kind of shenanigans from happening while keeping the site automated as possible.

    Gonna ask a stupid question but why allow auto approval? Manually checking the submissions is far more effective the only automation should be the cron to see if they are still operating. pr*xy.org manually checks his but his defunct method blows as he has half his list are no longer working sites. I would also say if the site doesnt load msn or espn in under 10 seconds it wont be approved to cut down on all the crappy sites out there.

    Actually it's a lot easier to black list. Use the proper regex to validate domain names for .co.uk, etc, but black list anything with .co.cc in it. We all know the .co.cc are mostly used by spammers anyway.

    Couldn't agree more, I do just that :)

    This code here describes as you said and validates properly for co.uk and other real tld that use subdomains.
    http://www.namepros.com/350895-post15.html

    It will validate co.uk while removing spam sites like
    sub.myspamsite.com
    Except it limit is the spammer could put more subdomains on it like

    http://sub.sub.myspamsite.com
    Which will produce sub.myspamsite.com once again allowing the spam to get into the list, you can't really whitelist or blacklist that as they could use Top leve tld, and just put wildcard it with 2 subs. So Co.uk and other variants of real TLDs are problem.
    That why I said that Co.uk" is retarded becuase of this, its irrating. I guess co.uk will not be making into the list

    That function is over 4 years old, trust me there are better available.

    Don't consider it irritating or retarded, consider it challenging. ;)

    A little tip, you don't allow sub domains so force the use of "http://www." in submissions.

    i think your going about it all wrong

    you white list every tld you want, if it has more dots in it than the white list entry has it is a subdomain = instant rejection

    eg the entry in the array says ".co.uk" someone ads abc.co.uk it is valid
    someone adds a.b.co.uk it is not valid it has more dots than is allowed


    you are creating a problem where a problem should not exist, ".co.uk wont make it onto the list" why? these are like $30 and a min two year reg they wont be bullshit domains

    tech-faqs code probably just messes up with the co.cc thing becuase it is in the same format as co.uk and passes the flawed regex check

    i assume he is using some sort of regex also and did not decide to white list co.cc!

    there is not THAT many tlds to whitelist, and i am 100% sure this will have already been done.

    regexes are not the way to go here you wont get a perfect one with out instantly cutting out tons of tlds
