trigger_my_passion Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 (edited) I am editing the post and deleting it 'cos my account has been disabled for 24 hrs. All for using a simple GreaseMonkey script which I've disabled now :wacko: Hope I get my account back. Lockdown in sector 4!Our system indicates unusual usage of your account.

CoolCatBad Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Now that is heavy-handed. You should write to them and demand an explanation as to how this violates Terms of Use, I've just been reading it and can't see any but the most narrow-minded, legalistic interpretations for objection. Tell them your a shareholder (they can't check). BTW there are similar scripts I have seen about the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molgar Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I don't think it's because of the script, as I use it too, and haven't had any kind of lockdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acedriver Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 greasemonkey page did put a warning about using the script with gmail NOTE: Using Greasemonkey Gmail scripts can get your account locked if your script uses excessive resources on the Google server. Proceed with caution. http://dunck.us/collab/GreaseMonkeyUserScr...7f805c75e1f44e4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniM3 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I use mozilla thunderbird and never had to worry about any scripts. The gmail menu is a little minimalistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger_my_passion Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 Nope. By the way, my account was enabled after few hours and I have ever since continued to use GreaseMonkey and the javascript for the 'smart delete button' w/o any probs thus far. trigger_my_passion, you aren't also using the gmail drive are you? 585851329[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_M Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Wish Gmail Had a Delete Button? I wrote the Gmail_Smart-Delete_Button script. It enables/disables itself, depending on whether or not any items have been checked. It works with all applicable Gmail pages, labels & mail items. Regarding Gmail locking an account, it is very unlikely due to my script as it is all client-side code, which runs after the page has finished loading and it's "on_load" event runs. It uses no server resources (the main reason Gmail locks accounts). Mail deletion is done by selecting the "Move to Trash" item in the actions dropdown (via code), not by any special call to the server. There is no way Gmail could even know you were using the script. Give it a try! Paul_M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger_my_passion Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Thanks Paul, it is your script that I am using. Tho my a/c was locked up initially, no probs since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arantius Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I wrote the Gmail_Smart-Delete_Button script. *grumble* I find it rather disconcerting that you claim you wrote this script. You patched it, yes, to add minor functionality. I wrote this script: http://www.arantius.com/article/arantius/g...+delete+button/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
