If the attack is still going on in a few days, I'll consider measures like these:
- If there are any image hosts run by trustworthy companies where the privacy policy says that they don't keep logs, these could be exempted from the proxy. If you know of any, let me know.
- Maybe bitcointalk.org could pay TalkImg a monthly fee for a contractual guarantee that they won't keep logs. TalkImg could then be exempted from the proxy, and furthermore they would have more resources to function well.
- Bitcointalk.org could add support for uploading images directly.
First of all, I thank you for your trust, but as I say in the OP, I do not record any information. The only thing that is recorded in the database is the IP of the person who uploaded the image for spam control or upload cascade purposes..
Therefore, I am available to work to improve and follow the standards requested by Bitcointalk.
I think cloudflare will store some user data anyway, right? Like ip of people who sent files. ?
