That part about certain faucets changing things once they are approved... Do you ban them indefinitely?
That depends. If we believe that the owner tries to trick us or if he repeatedly does the same thing, we ban him. However if we're not sure that owner's intentions are bad, we do give him a chance or two. Quite often we see that taking faucet down from the list is enough and the owner starts playing nicely. Where do i directly report things to?
There's a report button next to every faucet on your list: https://faucetbox.com/list (the exclamation mark). You can also send an email directly to support@faucetbox.com. Just make sure you include the name and URL of faucet. |
Unless stated otherwise, all opinions are of my own, not FaucetBOX.com's.

Just make sure you include the name and URL of faucet. Ok, thats useful to know. What if you were to take a deposit that is held aside from each faucet that registers with you. And have a three strike rule and the deposit is taken. If they have something to lose then maybe they would think twice about changing things. This way you would get less scammy faucets with bad intentions wanting to sign up with you in the first place... I don't see why an owner would have a problem with this if they were legit. If they stopped their faucet at anytime, you could return the deposit thereafter... Kind Regards, |

While I think that would improve things, I'm not so sure about good owners not having problem with that. I know that I wouldn't agree with that, because what if I would get marked as scammy by mistake? Mistakes happen  . What's more, it's hard to justify legally. If think we would need a lawyer for that... It's just a really hard issue with no easy fix. But we're making small incremental changes that makes things better - 6 months ago it was much worse than now . |

How does the faucetbox script stop users from using a faucet more than once? Is it just IP address? I've created a website but would like to know the best way to stop users creating more than one account.

IP address + bitcoin address (but that one is easy to change). There are no other ways that I can think of... |

IMPORTANT
Another faucet owner got hacked and lost his coins on FaucetBOX.com. It happened the same way as previous 2 hacks (many smaller withdrawals in short timespan coming from the faucet, not made through FaucetBOX.com Dashboard). The thing those three owners had in common was a faucet script made by Raphael M. I don't know whether it's just a coincidence, a bug in the script or a backdoor, but I ask everyone with Raphael's scripts to review their scripts' codes and make sure there's nothing suspicious there.
As always: keep your passwords private, keep them strong, make sure your hosting is safe and don't use any scripts from persons you don't trust (including Javascript, as it can be used to steal the session cookie).

I believe that Raphael bases his scripts on the faucet package MiniFaucet, so it could be a back door within that script. While I am not a professional, if anyone would like me to run through their script PM me and I'll see what I can do. |

What do you recommend to avoid this? Simply not add random codes to your website? |

Like I said in my Faucet thread, I want to start the faucet "without" a investment (of course I had to load my wallet before hand) but when I get some cash the first think I will do is move on to a decent hosting and domain. I might just contact you, thanks! |

A free domain shouldn't be used simply because it is unprofessional and is also caught by spam filters on services as malicious. A paid TLD is best.
