Looking at the new changelog from today, I'm assuming this has now been fixed.

I don't know the cause but I'm assuming if the raffles are short enough, people can somehow still submit more (public) raffles than is allowed in 24 hours regardless of their premium status(?). Here is a series that a premium user (likely unknowingly) created at the time this thread was posted. The limit for premium is said to be 8 but there is 9 here: 1. https://scrap.tf/raffles/6MS0TX 2. https://scrap.tf/raffles/DABS77 3. https://scrap.tf/raffles/4YQE2Z 4. https://scrap.tf/raffles/HCULL9 5. https://scrap.tf/raffles/O2WKVI 6. https://scrap.tf/raffles/GJFEXJ 7. https://scrap.tf/raffles/13CNSB 8. https://scrap.tf/raffles/4HGQ6K 9. https://scrap.tf/raffles/LX1JZP So it seems that this issue is still persisting and I am creating a thread about it because Jesse said.

The limit is said for regular users that they can make 4 raffles in 24 hours, yet someone else (unknowingly) made 5 (short) raffles in 24 hours. 1. https://scrap.tf/raffles/FGDOX9 2. https://scrap.tf/raffles/LOPAJG 3. https://scrap.tf/raffles/HRZM5B 4. https://scrap.tf/raffles/5NE7CS 5. https://scrap.tf/raffles/SVGOC3 Is this intended?

Forgot to post this. It happens on puzzle raffles too: https://scrap.tf/raffles/ZUGO82 Non scheduled.

On top of that (without making a new thread about this). Some regular user may have accidentally or unknowingly(?) made about 20 public raffles in a short time-span, bypassing the raffle limit well past even the super premium limit. The raffles: https://scrap.tf/raffles/1U7IHR https://scrap.tf/raffles/NX119A https://scrap.tf/raffles/FKF0VD https://scrap.tf/raffles/8W2B6C https://scrap.tf/raffles/BKGME8 https://scrap.tf/raffles/3ZA1FW https://scrap.tf/raffles/BIYWMC https://scrap.tf/raffles/5DZFC0 https://scrap.tf/raffles/XQ28GU https://scrap.tf/raffles/1D4VJF https://scrap.tf/raffles/148YCC https://scrap.tf/raffles/4V0HJE https://scrap.tf/raffles/GBK2SV https://scrap.tf/raffles/XGBY0Q https://scrap.tf/raffles/EFPHZV https://scrap.tf/raffles/45KMQS https://scrap.tf/raffles/LQX0KA https://scrap.tf/raffles/NCOE7E https://scrap.tf/raffles/ATWQ3A https://scrap.tf/raffles/BDTCD5 Could that also be related to this issue?

Yes. I tried it again. It said "You selected an invalid item, this attempt has been logged." I only tried because you asked. Thanks.

I was curious enough to try this and I think I can confirm, I was able to get the bot to also send me some trade offers for the (at the time) overstocked kits: (Obviously I declined the trades but the assumed exploit still works.)

I also never logged in to backpack.tf and tried accessing these domains on different internet connections. Edit: On further testing, private mode in Chrome seems to have allowed me back in. I don't know for how long. Safari's private mode still does not. Non-private mode in both browsers still wont let me through. Edit 2: Yes, the error happens when it wants to check the browser again after the first time. Private mode stopped working again. Edit 3: I can access scrap.tf on this device again since the browser checker was removed. Backpack.tf still remains an error. Edit 4: The browser checker is now gone from backpack.tf and the device can now use these sites freely. Edit 5: The new browser checker works fine on this device!

I don't know if this applies only to one of my phones/devices or to more. There seems to be a browser checking feature added on both scrap.tf (including forums) and backpack.tf. One of my phone devices running IOS 9.0.2 will load scrap.tf or backpack.tf once in any browser. (Tried with Safari and Chrome.) And it will load the browser checker just fine (when logged out or logged in, it didn't matter). However after an (unknown) amount of time (likely when it wants to check the browser again), all those domains return some "unknown error" (Safari) instantly. Refreshing instantly returns the error as if the browser was no longer valid. ERR_FAILED on Chrome instantly as well. Troubleshooting: The cookies and data was cleared, tried accessing in private mode uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome and still can't access any part of scrap.tf or backpack.tf on this device completely. This issue started when the site decided to start checking browsers which seems to be today or yesterday. It can't be related to my account since the browser checking starts when logged off. I only get 1 attempt on a new browser on this device (it checks once) and then can't access the site permanently after it decides to check again. That is my issue and I don't know if it applies to other devices.

I'm making this suggestion due to raffle limit changes that have already been implemented in the past. A long while ago, the minimum amount of time allowed for a puzzle to be up was changed from 5 minutes to 1 hour. This was said to allow enough time for the puzzle to be fixed in case there were errors. However the entry limit can still be set to 1 entry (akin to private raffles). This sort of negates the 1 hour limit idea and has the potential for the raffler to be able to easily end the puzzle very quickly (through various means such as telling a friend the solution). A lot of the time (from my own perspective) I've not seen intentional 1 entry limit puzzles, a lot of those 1 entry limits turned out to be typos because raffler intended it to be more than 1 entry allowed. The public section already only allows a minimum of 10 entries. Shouldn't the puzzle section also have this too? An entry limit of 10 or maybe 5?

Discord Tag: Ronald_D_D#4508 Chrome dev tools? Chrome is not my default browser but I am "somewhat" familiar with browser dev tools. I also do not monitor the network inspector. Experience? Only face value feedback from a user standpoint. Nothing to do with the underlying structure/specifics of software.

Possibly could also fix the entire of scrap.tf/raffles/history/ still not displaying anything for some users? Sorry if a bit off topic.

Maybe not a whole hour but that would be nifty.

I can answer the 2nd question as I was told: Yes but it's trust/honor bound. And the 3rd question is probably that it's voluntary.

Also, this one was for Lord Smile but I put it together: :csdcrown:
