::: Sigh, too much time has passed to do a simple "Rollback all changes", I started doing piecemeal reverts but that got tiresome quickly and had multiple edit conflicts to resolve so I just ended up reverting to the revision current as of November 1st. There may have been some useful edits in there but they were lost in the noise. For future reference, from here on, if a new member with no history comes in and starts making large changes without discussion or consultation, I will summarily revert the changes and ban them. I don't have time or patience for this. This time it will be one week as there wasn't a policy in place. In the future it may be permanent. --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 12:45, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
::::Thanks for your efforts, Thundergnat. I realise that being an RC moderator is not something that you get paid for. --[[User:Tigerofdarkness|Tigerofdarkness]] ([[User talk:Tigerofdarkness|talk]]) 15:06, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
== RE: Recent changes ==
Hi everyone I'm the one who made all those changes.
The reason for the name is because honestly I disagree with the requirement for an email, password, username to edit on this website, and so created a random username, random password, and used a temporary email to make this account and all others I used to edit pages.
The reason for the edits, on the HTTP task specifically, is because the task was not specific enough, allowing solutions to be accepted if they redirected from HTTP to HTTPS, or even if the URL lead to a HTTP response code of Permanently Moved.
I specified the task so that a standard result was expected from solutions (plain text HTTP response shown on a screen, you seriously can't get more simple yet specific than that).
I edited all the solutions to change ONLY the white space, the URL that was used (so that the URL was standard in all solutions, which seems to me to be such an obvious requirement that I doubt how dedicated to this webpage the person who created the original task is), and then removed the output.
I removed the output because, since my task was so precise in its requirement, it was completely clear that all solutions would output the same response anyway so why include output?
You've already removed all the changes, which is honestly fair enough.
However I have a serious problem with you removing some requirements for the task which seem as obvious as requiring a URL to fetch in the task.
It's obvious that in the ENTIRETY of this website it should be a requirement for solutions to use external (non standard) libraries ONLY if the task is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to solve without the external library.
It's honestly baffling that whoever is behind this website didn't think of this, and I've lost the motivation to help develop its content.
Cya, if I could delete this account, then I would, however it doesn't even look like I can do that, so I'm just going to forget it and let it die like all the other ones.
