Fyi added paste.centos.org and pastebin.centos.org to the "not spam links" list

Because a number of new users got erroneously put in the moderation queue for this, I’ve added them to the allow list.

@mattdm, the mentioned service has serious issues:

  • Long names are inconvenient to type, and fpaste.org seems broken.
  • The longest time to keep the paste is just 1 day.

So, pastebin.com looks like a better option in many cases.

This is configured by Fedora infrastructure, probably to ensure that it isn’t used as a file hosting service. You can file a ticket with them to change that.

That’s another thing that infra need to be informed about. Maybe the DNS needs updating.

We don’t suggest third party pastebins because:

  • it isn’t easy to get fpaste to work with all of them (and then keep it working)
  • we cannot ensure privacy etc. on third party services.

With paste.fp.o, we know exactly what the privacy policy etc. is. (and we don’t use advertisements on our platforms etc.)
