[UNOFFICIAL] SHORTBLOX: URL SHORTERS FOR SOCIAL MEDIA

Resources Community Resources
website

railworks2 (railworks2) 20 september 2020 om 16:34 #1


INTRODUCING SHORTBLOX

ShortBlox is a collection of free URL shortners designed for use on social media
to highlight your UGC (From DevForum posts to clothing, users to games).

Simply add the asset ID of the relevant content to the end of the link and it’ll
link directly to the content including embed. No ads, no interruption from me,
just straight to what your followers want.

This service uses CloudFlare to work. As a result, analytical data is produced.
Privacy policy: Cloudflare's Privacy Policy | Privacy Policy: Not Required. No
user data being handled.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Those URLs are…

 * For DevForum posts: devforum.link [Also works on finding specific posts
   within a thread] | user.devforum.link (For user profiles)
 * For library assets (models, videos, audio, etc.): rblx.media
 * For groups: rblx.social
 * For catalog items: rblx.clothing
 * For user’s profiles: rblx.name (UserID) | user.rblx.name (Username)
 * For games: rblx.games

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


EXAMPLES/HOW TO:

DevForum How To

Say you wanted to link to the DevForum rules, normally that would be
https://devforum.roblox.com/t/how-to-level-up-on-the-roblox-developer-forum/320109
and that’s a really long link.

Grab the numbers at the end (in our case that’s 320109). Add that number to the
end of https://devforum.link and we get How to level up on the Roblox Developer
Forum - Updates - Developer Forum | Roblox.

Now we have a shorter link to share around on social media.

DevForum Example: devforum.link/320109

Roblox Library How To

Say you wanted to link to an audio clip of David saying “vision”, normally that
would be https://www.roblox.com/library/5372069652/VISION and that’s it can be
longer but we can make it shorter.

Grab the numbers in the middle between library and the item name (in our case
that’s 5372069652). Add that number to the end of https://rblx.media/ and we get
VISION - Roblox.

Now we have a shorter link to share around on social media.

Roblox Library Example: rblx.media/5372069652

Roblox Group How To

Say you wanted to link to your favourite Roblox group, normally that would be
https://www.roblox.com/groups/6059321/Reworked/about and that’s it can be longer
but we can make it shorter.

Grab the numbers in the middle between groups and the group name (in our case
that’s 6059321). Add that number to the end of http://rblx.social/ and we get
Reworked - Roblox.

Now we have a shorter link to share around on social media.

Roblox Group Example: rblx.social/6059321

Roblox Catalog How To

Say you wanted to link to the Roblox Bloxy award, normally that would be
www.roblox.com/catalog/2758794374/The-6th-Annual-Bloxy-Award and that’s it can
be longer but we can make it shorter.

Grab the numbers in the middle between catalog and the asset name (in our case
that’s 2758794374). Add that number to the end of http://rblx.social/ and we get
http://rblx.social/2758794374.

Now we have a shorter link to share around on social media.

Roblox Catalog Example: rblx.clothing/2758794374

Roblox User Profile How To

Say you wanted to link to your favourite Roblox player, normally that would be
www.roblox.com/users/8403307/profile and that’s not too bad but we can make it
shorter.

For using their ID. Grab the numbers in the middle between users and profile (in
our case that’s 8403307). Add that number to the end of http://rblx.name/ and we
get railworks2 - Roblox.

For using their username, grab their username and add that to the end of
http://user.rblx.name/ and we get railworks2 - Roblox.

Now we have a shorter link to share around on social media.

Roblox Username Example: rblx.name/8403307 / user.rblx.name/railworks2

Roblox Games How To

Say you wanted to link to your favourite Roblox game (Adopt Me), normally that
would be www.roblox.com/games/920587237/Adopt-Me and that’s not too bad here but
can become longer but we can make it shorter.

Grab the numbers in the middle between games and the game name (in our case
that’s 920587237). Add that number to the end of http://rblx.games/ and we get
Adopt Me! - Roblox.

Now we have a shorter link to share around on social media.

Roblox Game Example: rblx.games/920587237

Thank you for your concerns. Abuse can occur at any stage and for any reason, if
there are domains which do this it’s something than can be reported to the
appropriate people.

If any such domains do pop up and I’m aware of them, I will personally report
them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There will always be people taking advantage of any project, but I believe
appropriate due care and appropriate usage would handle such concerns. Any such
domains can be reported to me directly, see contact details in the post.

That’s really cool. I don’t use social media myself, but I can see this being
handy for those that use Twitter especially.

Any chance you’re working on some sort of dashboard or extension for this, as it
would definitely speed things up when people want to share their content?

Edit:
I made a UserScript to automate this process, which is being hosted on GitHub
Gist.

Thanks for your comments. At this time, there is no plans for a dashboard. A

In the mean time, the service is designed to be as simple as possible; grab the
relevant ID and throw it at the end of the relevant domain, then post it online.
The rest is automatically handled for you.

People cannot ip grab using this. The links only redirect to specific places on
Roblox (whether it’s Devforum or the actual website) and not any arbitrary link.

cxmeels (cxmeels) 21 september 2020 om 17:36 #12

It’s for things like social media where you might be limited by the amount of
characters you can use, or where you might want to display a shorter link.

Take this tweet for example by @RDevCentral:

> Roblox increased Premium Payouts! Looks like us developers are going to make
> some more Robux!
> https://devforum.roblox.com/t/increasing-premium-payouts/753309 #RobloxDev
> #Roblox #RobloxDevs

This could be shortened like so:

> Roblox increased Premium Payouts! Looks like us developers are going to make
> some more Robux! https://devforum.link/753309 #RobloxDev #Roblox #RobloxDevs

Leaving you more room for text. It makes posting links in places like Discord
servers, game/asset descriptions, posters, etc. easier and more readable too.

So you can use any of those domains for linking to a specific kind of content.
On social media or on platforms like Discord. I’ve provided a how to guide for
each domain.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


bacionhairmanfur2:

This is not true. The URL redirect has been designed that not even I know who
uses it (outside of what CloudFlare gives me), only Cloudflare does.

The redirect is designed to minimise users trying XSS via my redirects through
forcing the use of the relevant ID.
The requests are direct and can be easily proven via relevant tools.

As mentioned in that comment, I only have access to the data Cloudflare offers
all their clients. This does include analytics, however the entire service
(excluding domain ownership) from DNS to redirecting users is handled under
Cloudflare and thus their policy, which can be found @ Cloudflare's Privacy
Policy

I contacted my local data protection authority (the ICO) before going live and
made sure it was acceptable under GDPR, I cannot speak for CCPA or other data
protections laws. If I hosted the server which directed the user, the
appropriate legal documents would be provided

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to be very clear, on this


GoldyyDev:

> Cloudflare gives you the location of a request, you can easily make analytics
> of what location accesses what groups

This is not accurate. I only see at the domain level, I do not know which UGC is
being used expect the general type found by using a specific domain (not
sub-domain).

If you used a specific group, I do not know about that, I only know a request
from a region of the world accessed my service and only for up to 30 days.

If you used an username instead of an ID, I would have no idea that it was the
case. Again only that a request was issued for my domain.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: To be deadly clear. I believe in being open and direct when dealing with
something like this, trust is important and that’s why I’m taking this deadly
seriously.

Summary

 * I have now included that a sub-processor has been used.

 * I am not a data controller or data processor under the GDPR [See this
   document from the ICO] therefore I am not required by law to offer such a
   privacy policy.

 * Even if I was a data controller or data processor, GDPR does not apply. See:
   What is personal data? | ICO

 * All data lasts with CloudFlare for up to 30 days.

 * The data I have access to is limited and only provided under Cloudflare and
   their privacy policy. If you needed to issue a GDPR request, you would need
   to do it to them. This is by design.

 * If at any time was any of this was to change, I would offer a public
   announcement on such a change and offer a reasonable amount of time. If
   required, I would also also issue direct to user notices of such a change.

 * I am here to help make a community resource, not mishandle personal data. As
   a British citizen and a privacy focused person, ensuring that your data is
   dealt with appropriately is key to me. I would had preferred you to had
   privately spoken to me regarding any legal issues. However for the benefit of
   the wider community, I am choosing to respond publicly.

unix_system (unix_system) 26 september 2020 om 16:55 #20

Cloudflare rays (and IP addresses) are sufficiently anonymous such that a
privacy policy is not required. Your IP address isn’t personal data, hence why
the entire internet (such as your website, https://goldy.dev/) don’t require a
privacy policy - only when you tie personal data to that IP address does it
become an issue.

This is the sort of thing you should query in private messages, as to avoid this
confusion that has beset this thread.

It would be cool if you, instead of the ID, have the name.

Could you be more specific?

If you’re referring to username, you can use railworks2 - Roblox 27

Like instead of a group ID, you could have group names or with devforum links
with the name instead of ID.
I don’t know much about URL shorteners, though

Ah right. At this time, that isn’t really feasible. Sorry.

Are you collecting analytics? if so please provide a GDPR compliant Privacy
Policy or block European IP addresses

Cloudflare gives you the location of a request, you can easily make analytics of
what location accesses what groups

As mentioned in that comment, I only have access to the data Cloudflare offers
all their clients. This does include analytics, however the entire service
(excluding domain ownership) from DNS to redirecting users is handled under
Cloudflare and thus their policy, which can be found @ Cloudflare's Privacy
Policy

I contacted my local data protection authority (the ICO) before going live and
made sure it was acceptable under GDPR, I cannot speak for CCPA or other data
protections laws. If I hosted the server which directed the user, the
appropriate legal documents would be provided

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to be very clear, on this

This is not accurate. I only see at the domain level, I do not know which UGC is
being used expect the general type found by using a specific domain (not
sub-domain).

If you used a specific group, I do not know about that, I only know a request
from a region of the world accessed my service and only for up to 30 days.

If you used an username instead of an ID, I would have no idea that it was the
case. Again only that a request was issued for my domain.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: To be deadly clear. I believe in being open and direct when dealing with
something like this, trust is important and that’s why I’m taking this deadly
seriously.

Summary

 * I have now included that a sub-processor has been used.

 * I am not a data controller or data processor under the GDPR [See this
   document from the ICO] therefore I am not required by law to offer such a
   privacy policy.

 * Even if I was a data controller or data processor, GDPR does not apply. See:
   What is personal data? | ICO 1

 * All data lasts with CloudFlare for up to 30 days.

 * The data I have access to is limited and only provided under Cloudflare and
   their privacy policy. If you needed to issue a GDPR request, you would need
   to do it to them. This is by design.

 * If at any time was any of this was to change, I would offer a public
   announcement on such a change and offer a reasonable amount of time. If
   required, I would also also issue direct to user notices of such a change.

 * I am here to help make a community resource, not mishandle personal data. As
   a British citizen and a privacy focused person, ensuring that your data is
   dealt with appropriately is key to me. I would had preferred you to had
   privately spoken to me regarding any legal issues. However for the benefit of
   the wider community, I am choosing to respond publicly.

Cloudflare rays (and IP addresses) are sufficiently anonymous such that a
privacy policy is not required. Your IP address isn’t personal data, hence why
the entire internet (such as your website, https://goldy.dev/ 38) don’t require
a privacy policy - only when you tie personal data to that IP address does it
become an issue.

This is the sort of thing you should query in private messages, as to avoid this
confusion that has beset this thread.
