Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is CYX Safe?

How can I upload?

Simply create a user on the site then email safe@cyx.su to have your account approved.
Uploads will be associated with your account, you can manage your uploads through our Dashboard.

Will you keep my uploads forever?

Unless the uploads are included within the banned categories above, or some other bullshit, I will.

Otherwise, we also have temporary uploads feature, with which you can have your uploads be automatically deleted after a period of time.
It is disabled by default, but you can configure it through our homepage uploader's Config tab.

What are albums?

Albums are a simple way of sorting/categorizing uploads together.
You can share public links to these albums, allowing everyone else to view pretty listings of the uploads in them.
Albums can also be downloaded as ZIP-archives.
Both of these features can be toggled per-album basis from the Dashboard.

Why should I use this?

I don't know.

I saw something too illegal for my tastes here, what should I do?

Send a strongly worded email to safe@cyx.su and I will try to get back to you within 48 hours.

Technical

What are the allowed extensions here?

We support any file extensions, except the following:
.bash_profile .bash .bashrc .bat .bsh .cmd .com .csh .exe .exec .jar .msi .nt .profile .ps1 .psm1 .scr .sh

Why are my .htm/.html uploads being served as plain text?

There had been too many phishing pages being uploaded in the past.

Do you have a No-JS uploader form?

How do I delete my own account and all the uploads associated with it?

Contact safe@cyx.su
A feature to delete your own account by yourself is still work in progress.
Otherwise, if you do not mind a record of your username being left here, it should be easy to bulk delete all your uploads from the Dashboard anyway.

Privacy

What information is kept with uploads?

Uploads are associated with a username and time stamp only, IPs are not tied to any individual upload.
See below for info regarding server IP logging.

What information is kept with users?

Technically, none.
After all, not even an email address is required to register an account.
Anything will do as your usernames, and passwords are also encrypted.

Does the server have some sort of access logs?

Yes.
The server logs contain each visitor's IP address.
This is required by our automated system, that checks logs in real time to detect and punish abuse, such as DDoS attempts, scanners, and so on.
Logs are rotated daily, and the server will only keep the last 10 logs.
So you can be assured that the logs will only be kept for 10 days at most.

I still have more unanswered questions!
