AphoticDev

New game, we all take a drink every time somebody makes a post asking when the beta is coming. Last person to die from alcohol poisoning gets access to the beta.

Just make a cron that runs the rm command every day or whatever to clean out the files. Then run a SQL query at the same time to truncate any draft posts in the database. There’s no logic to this method, it just clears out the files and records related to draft posts, but it’s fast and effective.

There’s a small chance it might fuck somebody up if they were writing a post at that exact moment, but you can schedule the cron for when your instance is the quietest.

How would they address your concerns? The chances that one of the devs follows you is nonexistent, I would wager. Instead of using the proper channels to inform them, you did the exact opposite and posted it someplace they are almost guaranteed not to see it.

This can be solved very easily by a cron job to clean out the folder periodically, if you’re worried about it.
