>>7554 And fixed, thank fuck

>>7554 test

>>7555 Finally. God damn. >>7551 The purpose is to provide a clearnet address for people that may not want or may not be able to install tor. They're quick, cheap, and simple to set up so if someone wants to go after them it's easy to make more pop up, whereas if the main server gets taken down it's a pain in the ass.

>>7557 >The purpose is to provide a clearnet address for people that may not want or may not be able to install tor. What's the point of using it through tor if your ISP can see that you're using redchannit. It wouldn't take much detective work to trace that back to the infamous hacker known as 8chan.

>>7558 >What's the point of using it through tor if your ISP can see that you're using redchannit. To hide the location of the onion server so it can't be taken down.

>>7558 The user is irrelevant for the purpose of this scheme, what it aims to do is protect the website, not you. In a situation where the clearnet domains and servers are being hunted and seized, this allows the main website server to hide on tor while proxies like redchannit are deployed to maintain a clearnet presence much more quickly, cheaply, and easily without having to risk the bulky and powerful server that has the actual website deployed on to it.

test

>>7496 >>7501 Just got around to testing it again. It's the splash cookie that causes the issue. First-time access to the site should add a splash cookie that indicates the global rule splash page has been shown, but this doesn't happen on Firefox for some reason. Site works fine when you add it manually via dev console, but it's the only way to get past the splash page.

>>7582 There's a trap on the onion to limit scrapers and spambots. You need to use cookies.

>>7583 Oh, ok. I'm feeling kinda silly now... Why didn't I try allowing them before posting here? Sry about that.

Please increase the banner limit Didn't 8chan prime have a 300 maximum or something?

Just a heads up onii chan: shit's fucked. Auto update is broke and the site's locking up.

>>7585 This. More banners, more banners!!!

We are tinkering with new captcha fonts I'm sure this first one will require a bit of a learning curve. We're going to gather some data and some feedback and then we'll figure out where to go from there. >>7586 That will happen intermittently as we play with websockets. That or we need to fix the auto update script; it doesn't downgrade correctly when websockets fails. >>7585 >>7587 I have gone to the next power of two; you now have 256 banners to play with. Godspeed.

test

>>7589 testing

>>7589 This one sucks

>>7592 Yeah it can be a bitch to solve the harder ones. We're gathering some data. Please give it some time and I will try some others.

>>7589 Is it possible to use this font? https://brailleinstitute.org/freefont Also why are you changing the captcha font?

>>7592 That's easy as fuck, are you retarded?

>>7589 Hell yeah, thank you.

>>7595 Yes. Is this an 8?

>>7597 Yes. Some of these are unreadable though I'll give you that. The ones you posted aren't really that hard though.

>>7594 >Also why are you changing the captcha font? An autist managed to automate solving the old one. Your suggested font is nice but probably has the opposite qualities we are looking for. The goal will be something difficult for computers to read but reasonable for humans to fill out once per day for a bypass.

>>7599 are bots allowed on the site?

>>7600 Not if they're spamming.

>>7599 >An autist managed to automate solving the old one. fug That sucks, but I can't read half of the characters with this new font, and I'm not a bot.

>>7602 If it's exclusive to the bypass captcha it wouldn't really be an issue. I can handle needing to refresh the captcha a handful of times once per bypass. It only starts to get annoying when it's on a board that has captcha per post enabled. In which case an easier to read font might be better. BO's having the choice of captcha difficulty on their end would be the most optimal solution.

>have to go through 7 difference captchas and constantly being rate limited between each of them to report a single post Yeah fuck this shit I'm just not reported CP anymore.

>>7589 I'm not even sure what the fuck some characters are supposed to be even without deformation Even worse the thin line sometimes mesh with the background making some things look like other things

>>7603 >>7608 >>7609 I'm trying something milder. Let me know if this is better.

hey, can we get a more native implementation of what the /av/ guys have for randomized multiple spoiler pic thumbnails for each board?, i think 16 max for now could be manageable, also what have you guys decided in terms of making it so that the "archive." links don't have any themes since for example during the lasts christmas the archives made have the 8chan pass pic all over the background making it hard to see, its mess really also how's the tiny text thing going?

>>7610 Just use the chess captcha it's easier to solve for people who aren't fucking retarded and no pajeet captcha solving service knows how to deal with it. These shitty font captchas are fucking trash and annoying as fuck.

>>7614 Seconding this.

>>7614 >>7615 Opposing both of these.

>>7614 It's not exactly simple to bolt chess captcha on top of the existing system, just because it has a totally different input pattern. I might look into a hybrid method that would be easier to graft on. >>7613 >random spoilers Requires a rewrite of how the backend stores and serves board assets. Would probably be better to petition Stephen. >no themes on archive links My understanding from speaking with Acid is that it's not super easy to selectively block themes, but perhaps we can brainstorm a solution. I'm going to look into an option to improve archiving so we can turn off the block without risk of CP slipping in to archives, though. I'd like to think of the archive URLs as a temporary solution. I'd also like to get proper LynxChan archives working, and have some ideas for that I need to run by the other admins.

>>7616 Same Fuck that retarded and broken captcha system. The current one has also gotten worse, this is not great, but its still better than that fucking abomination

>>7618 Describe what is broken about it.

>>7619 literally doesn't work a lot of the time, what do you expect? Doesn't matter if you put in the correct inputs, numerous times it literally just needs to keep being reset until you get a version of it that actually goes through, sometimes it flat out won't work until you refresh the entire page completely.

>>7614 The first two new captchas were horrible. The latest argyle ones aren't nearly as bad. I'd still prefer the chess one though. >>7620 >Doesn't matter if you put in the correct inputs, numerous times it literally just needs to keep being reset until you get a version of it that actually goes through, sometimes it flat out won't work until you refresh the entire page completely. This is a problem that long predated the new captcha. It is really annoying.

>>7616 >>7618 >>7620 Just say you're retarded. Don't try to throw Codexx for a loop.

>>7622 Fuck off faggot. No one ever said they can't do the fucking captcha. What weve said is we dislike it. Now go fuck a nigger you disgusting subhuman kike.

>>7622 I can solve it just fine, when it actually works. Nice try, trying to bring zzzchan's shitty """feature""" that no other board on the whole webring uses. >Smug Uses a regular captcha >PLW Uses a regular captcha >Anon.cafe Uses a regular captcha >Sportschan Uses a regular captcha >8moe Uses a regular captcha >zzz >has a literal subculture around a broken, weird fucking captcha that even the mods have admitted in the past was broken >cuckchan >made a captcha so shitty that people are just paying for passes instead No one elses uses such a shitty captcha besides cuckchan, its a competition between them and zzz for the worst imageboard captcha I have ever seen. Zzz's captcha disincentivizes general reporting (after all, who wants to go through bullshit just to tell a janitor that there's shit on the floor), and turns the PPH to a crawl when it goes into effect as a posting captcha.

>>7624 I do recall it not working sometimes. But ignoring that since 8moe's captcha doesn't work half the time too, the chess captcha is fine when it does work. And it would be miles better than the captcha we have in place right now. Out of all the boards you've listed only zzzchan has actually had significant spam attacks against it. The entire reason zzzchan uses the chess captcha is because dolphin was paying for pajeet captcha solvers to spam the site. No one is autistic and retarded enough to do that for the other sites listed.

>>7625 And it still gets as much spam as any other site. So whats your point? The shit we have now works as well as the chess bullshit, with the added benefit of everyone here already knowing how to use it. The only outcome of switching to a radical new captcha now is bleeding users and making cross posting easier. Neither of which are exactly desirable by anyone.

>>7626 >And it still gets as much spam as any other site Just so we're clear, your claim is that zzzchan gets just as much automated spam as this site does? >The shit we have now works as well as the chess bullshit No it doesn't. Someone automated the captcha system. Now we have virtually unreadable captchas that you need to refresh multiple times. >The only outcome of switching to a radical new captcha now is bleeding users This is desirable. If you can't figure out the chess captcha you deserve to be filtered. I agree that the chess captcha is a broken captcha system because I recall it constantly not working even though the answers were clearly correct. That argument has merits. But the argument that because people are too retarded to read the given instructions to solve it is hilarious. I'd gladly have the entire site go to 0 PPH if it meant I never had to interact with anyone that had an IQ that low.

>>7627 So then why wait? You can fulfil you fantasy at any time by fucking off to sleepy and staying there.

>>7628 No.

>>7625 >only zzz has significant spam attacks against it <8moe never had to deal with spam attacks <Smug never had to deal with spam attacks wew/10 Truly only zzzchan is the most oppressed imageboard. >8moe's captcha doesn't work half the time too I usually only need to reload once if at all for 8moe captchas, and that's usually for making new threads for whatever reason when its turned on; regular posting captchas worked fine usually. This new shit is bad, but still better than zzz chess. >>7627 >captcha literally doesn't work >people who read the instructions try to get it to work but for some reason it doesn't seem to >I'd gladly have the entire site go to 0 PPH if it meant I never had to interact with anyone that had an IQ that low. Are you fucking retarded? If someone didn't realize they had to keep refreshing the captcha, they'd be fucked. It took me a while to realize that the captcha was just a literal piece of shit despite me actually doing it correctly, but people would act like every problem of the captcha was just people being too retarded, and the captcha was totally innocent, and then you blame the users and literally admit you prefer a spiteful existence over a broken feature rather than people being able to post. Fucking retarded conclusion, its a dogshit system, not to mention it requires javascript to refresh, fuck that shit. The new shit is just the old captcha with things like X's crossing them out, or bad fonts which look like embroidering, but I can still solve them, just with more difficulty than before and possibly a reload if necessary. I just want the old normal captcha.

>>7630 <8moe never had to deal with spam attacks 8moe wasn't on his list you dumb fuck. Learn to read. >I usually only need to reload once if at all for 8moe captchas, and that's usually for making new threads for whatever reason when its turned on; regular posting captchas worked fine usually. Which is similar to the issues with the chess captcha. >This new shit is bad, but still better than zzz chess. No it's not. This shit is awful. >If someone didn't realize they had to keep refreshing the captcha, they'd be fucked. In the very post you're responding to I already agreed that you shouldn't use a broken captcha system and that I was arguing from the perspective of assuming it worked correctly. I'm not going to read the rest of your post since you clearly aren't reading mine.

>>7631 >8moe wasn't on his list, learn to read Except it was. You didn't read, but I'll highlight it for you because apparently people who can't read a broken captcha's instructions are the problem, but not the person's posts you're arguing about. >I'm agreeing with you I'm not concerned about that part since that's fine, I'm talking about the rest of your retardation >arguing from the perspective of if it worked No, its a bad captcha regardless of if it works or not. Look at zzz's activity right now and tell me that you honestly think that out of the 58 users on their /v/ right now, 1 PPH is reasonable, given their captcha. It literally shuts down their activity to a crawl, if your shitty captcha is preventing user activity more so than stopping spam, its a bad fucking captcha. Everyone likes to pretend like the captcha is perfect, when its not and the proof is in the pudding. This board is probably getting more PPH now than zzz's /v/ (until the posting captcha disappears at least) despite this shitty captcha in place right now.

>>7632 >This board is getting more pph than their /v/ right now Its certainly more entertaining anyway. I mean how often do you get to have a captcha fight?

Bring back the old captcha by the way, I've been usually having to refresh once or twice now with this new shitty one. Not as bad as zzz which usually was between 3-5+ times, but its bad. >>7633 >how often do you get to have a captcha fight used to happen often on zzz's assorted meta threads, until a fucking captcha became part of their board culture somehow

It's a shame Captchouli's development ceased after somebody found a way to bypass it. Having an "anime captcha" that can be customized to have other kinds of images would have been cool.

>>7634 The old one will not be coming back because it's been solved.

>>7636 What are you talking about?

>>7637 See >>7599 >An autist managed to automate solving the old one.

How can one see if a board is no longer moderated by its board owner? Earlier on there used to be a symbol next to boards whose BO didn't log in for a month, but now there's nothing of the sort. >>7614 How about mixing and matching the captchas? Randomly pick one among the original captcha, the crossed out captcha, the dotted captcha and the chess one?

>>7639 >How can one see if a board is no longer moderated by its board owner? Earlier on there used to be a symbol next to boards whose BO didn't log in for a month, but now there's nothing of the sort. The symbol is still present, but it was changed to a sort of clock or timer.

>>7640 Forgot my pic.

>>7640 >>7641 For some reason, most of the icons of 8ch do not show up on any of the browsers I'm using (Opera, IceCat, Firefox, Iridium), including the one you posted. I can select the symbol, but it doesn't show me the icon even when pasting it elsewhere. Am I missing some component? I'm on W7 if it helps.

>>7535 I want to make it very clear why Lynxchan's filter system is a smoking pile of garbage, plus some ways in which it could be fixed. You see, a few months ago the owner of >>>/hispachan/ had the "brilliant idea" (note the sarcasm) to activate various filters. The problem? Some give a considerable amount of false positives since it doesn't consider the whole word, plus it work like this: w *o *r *d * Or what is the same, it does the replacement even if there are spaces between the letters. To make it clearer why this is a problem, here are some examples that I have been collecting: - original word: rance replaced by: juego porno con monos chinos examples: comparan celulares: compajuego porno con monos chinoslulares francesa: fjuego porno con monos chinossa Trance: Tjuego porno con monos chinos afrancesado: afjuego porno con monos chinossado afrancesamiento: afjuego porno con monos chinossamiento antifrancesa: antifjuego porno con monos chinossa arancelarios: ajuego porno con monos chinoslarios francesismo: fjuego porno con monos chinossismo sobran cero: sobjuego porno con monos chinosro - original word: sage replaced by: hispadislike examples: otras agencias: otrahispadislikencias esa genetica: ehispadislikenetica esa gente: ehispadislikente bolas a gente: bolahispadislikente gracias a gente: graciahispadislikente tendremos a gente: tendremohispadislikente - original word: loan replaced by: el travesti de travestis examples: a lo anterior: ael travesti de travestisterior haciéndolo anal: haciéndoel travesti de travestisal estilo anime: estiel travesti de travestisime reportarlo antes: reportarel travesti de travestistes lo antes posible: el travesti de travestistesposible culo antes: cuel travesti de travestistes enviarlo antes: enviarel travesti de travestistes Tranquilo anon: Tranquiel travesti de travestison solo ante: soel travesti de travestiste el culo anoche: el cuel travesti de travestisoche Acéptalo anon: Acéptael travesti de travestison flagelo ante: flageel travesti de travestiste solo anda: soel travesti de travestisda - original word: momo replaced by: meme examples: como molestan: comemelestan como modelos: comemedelos

By the way, the text above is in YAML in case someone wants to do automated tests or something like that. Regarding the filtered words, there are some like Loan or Israel that only put them for the keks, others such as Rance, xd, momo, etc. that are to avoid shitposts and thread deviation (spoiler: it doesn't work) and some like bump or sage that directly do not make sense. There are also many negros (Hispachan anons) who have complained about the board owner's insistence on keeping filtered words knowing the problems they cause, either in the meta thread or in others like >>>/hispachan/130491 or >>>/hispachan/131181 but the asshole doesn't want to back down or consider other options (and I wouldn't be surprised if he puts in even more filters just to burn asses). Now, as I said at the beginning, I came not only to throw shit but also to propose a solution on how to make the filters stop being fucking defective. My ideas? Basically these: * Add an option to filter out whole words. This should fix the false positives (or at least reduce most of them). Best of all, it's relatively easy to implement using this regular expression: \bword\b That way it check for word only if it is a complete word instead of filtering in such an ambiguous way as it is currently done. Although I have my doubts about the filters working when there are spaces in the middle of one or more letters, is it a bug or something intentional? * Add an option to allow the use of regular expressions: It is not something indispensable, but it would allow a finer control and not to filter things too much. For example, in the case of xd it is also often used as a name for other things as can be seen in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xd And here a question arises, how to filter xd but not things like Disney XD or xD-Picture cards? Using expressions like the following: (?<!pok[eé]mon|disney|adobe|springfield|singles|ford|defender|flyer|avante|hyundai|armory|scion)[ -_]xd xd(?!.?(Picture|cam|bit|falcon)) Which would only be possible if there was an option to use regular expressions.

>>7639 >How about mixing and matching the captchas? Randomly pick one among the original captcha, the crossed out captcha, the dotted captcha and the chess one? I've already been looking into an addon for this and I think it's doable. Might also see if I can expand the number of characters available. >>7643 I'm going to address this in two parts. >Putting spaces between words causes filters to trigger anyways This is actually not a LynxChan feature, but something I wrote. Without this, LynxChan filters are ridiculously easy to bypass. You can just stick any whitespace in between and it won't trigger, including some Unicode whitespace that doesn't even affect the final output, but bypasses detection by not technically matching. Spaces might be up for debate (after all, you can't sneak a banned URL through if you put a space in the middle) but it's still trivially easy to bypass for the purpose of writing words. >Add an option to filter out whole words This is actually already the case. LynxChan filters support regular expressions. The board owner could write the filters to check if the word is preceded by a space or starts at the beginning of a new line by using regex formatting. It will need to match JavaScript/ECMAScript formatting rules.

Anyone get YourUpload notice? If 32mb put strain on server maybe you can consider telling user to upload it to somewhere else then post link Also >crossed captcha 6+2 times wrong so far, Which part of hell did you pull this from

>>7644 >Without this, LynxChan filters are ridiculously easy to bypass. Take a look at >>>/hispachan/ and you will see that many add accents to the filtered words in order to bypass the filters. The detection of spaces between letters does not solve anything. >This is actually already the case. LynxChan filters support regular expressions. Are you sure? Because in https://gitgud.io/LynxChan/LynxChan/-/blob/master/src/be/engine/postingOps/common.js#L374 the escapeRegExp() function is executed, which overrides any regular expression that may be in the filters (except the escaped characters with the backslash), or is that function disabled in this chan? And if they really can be used, how can you add a filter with this feature? >It will need to match JavaScript/ECMAScript formatting rules. I was doing a quick test with \bword\b in a node console and it seems that it can be used directly (which at least is more practical than checking if a word is preceded/followed by a space or line break) and being only a couple of escaped characters, in theory it should not give problems with escapeRegExp (at least assuming that the filters are saved as-is when adding them).

>>7644 Holy based, the point of filters is that you can't bypass them easily, so it works well.

If a board is abandoned, how do I manage to take ownership? Do I just ask politely? Also, is there a way to manually make your own board SFW or do the Admins choose which ones to show on the overboard? Because if that's so, why are /hispachan/ and /v/ okay but /loomis/ and the other regional boards somehow not okay? >>7646 I think the problem with the crossed captchas is that 3 and 8 look too similar and occasionally c and e are unrecognizable. I already had trouble telling 1 and 7 apart with the older captcha though so that one might just be me.

I'm aware that the captchas are not perfect and am going to keep looking into improvements. I think the easiest fixes would entail adding more characters to the mix and possible allowing a variety of fonts to be used. I'm going to continue to talk to Stephen about the captcha expiration issues that have always been a problem. He seems certain that it's just VPN and Tor users getting a captcha from a pool, but the issue seems too widespread for that. >>7647 > you will see that many add accents to the filtered words in order to bypass the filters. The detection of spaces between letters does not solve anything. I was actually working on a second upgrade to filters to handle this exact scenario. It's not as big of a deal as the whitespace issue, though. >Are you sure? Apparently I was wrong, and was thinking of the frontend filters. So I'm going to do the following: First, I'll probably remove spaces from the filtering as a short-term fix. Secondly, I'll look into the performance of allowing regex in filters globally. Third, if it's impractical to allow full regex in filters, I will add a checkbox when creating filters that will add \b so BOs can specify if they only want to isolate that word or related. >>7649 >Claiming a board Send us an e-mail. >Marking a board SFW Admins have to mark it, because of how the settings are, but board owners can request their board be made (N)SFW at any time. Note that SFW boards are required to have users spoiler outright nudity (visible nipples or genitalia) or gruesome (gore, scat, etc). Lewd imagery is fine as long as they're covered. You can generally use /v/ as a benchmark for what is acceptable.

Since it is not possible to save the thumbnails of the images using sites like Archive Today or Wayback Machine, I take this opportunity to leave these files from the thread that I downloaded with the script of >>>/ac/13901: https://anonfiles.com/5aCfS9Ray1/site-5423_7z https://files.catbox.moe/pktz5f.7z http://0x0.st/o7dg.7z

How do you warn people anyways?

>>7653 the same way you ban someone. Simply in the [Type] field select "IP/Bypass warning". In the warnings, the [Duration] field will determine how long the warning will be visible. For example, if you give it a duration of 3 hours, the warning will only be valid for that time, and after that time the user will be able to continue their activities without even seeing it. If the field is left empty, the user will be forced to view the warning before continuing, regardless of when the warning was received.

Can someone do something about >>>/hispachan/ 's Board Owner? That dumb nigger has been overusing the filter system the last couple of months filling it with words that requiere zero moderation for the sole purpose of fucking up the board, while making up dumb excuses as to how it avoids shitposting in the board you it doesn't, prick Hell, he just filtered the word filter a couple of hours ago. This is directly related to what this other fella said >>7643 I don't hold any grudges against that manchild, but it would be nice if someone cleared the word filter list and locked him out of that feature.

>>7647 >it seems that it can be used directly Not according to >>>/hispachan/134140. >>7650 >adding more characters to the mix and possible allowing a variety of fonts to be used. What do you think about fonts like Fixedsys Excelsior or Perfect DOS VGA? One advantage they have over others is that the zero can be easily distinguished from the o (as well as the i from the l), in addition to the fact that Perfect DOS VGA has serifs that allow to distinguish the letters better (in the attached images you can see more clearly the differences between the two). >I was actually working on a second upgrade to filters to handle this exact scenario. If so, I hope it will be after these are truly functional. >I'll look into the performance of allowing regex in filters globally. If Node's regular expression engine isn't optimal enough, you might consider one of these libraries: https://github.com/nasciiboy/RecursiveRegexpRaptor-4 https://github.com/k-takata/Onigmo https://github.com/kkos/oniguruma https://github.com/cesanta/slre https://github.com/laurikari/tre/ http://www.pcre.org/ https://github.com/openresty/sregex https://github.com/VerbalExpressions/CppVerbalExpressions https://github.com/hanickadot/compile-time-regular-expressions https://github.com/intel/hyperscan https://github.com/yandex/pire https://github.com/google/re2

>>7661 I don't believe using a pixelated font will directly solve the issue. The letters need to vary in size and shape in a way that makes it difficult to run them through OCR and get a consistent outcome, especially with warping and stretching. Being able to distinguish a 0 from an o is irrelevant because LynxChan will never generate an o. Serifs, likewise, make letters easier to distinguish. >regex engines I can look into bolting something on. I'll do benchmarks before making any decisions. Shaving off some processing time would make a big difference. But I have to make the decision based on a worst-case scenario, and even the fasted regex engine may not be fast enough for that. I have long planned to improve filter evasion detection, and still plan to do so, and that will eliminate a lot of the need for BOs to need a regex. Anything else can probably be handled by adding toggles.

The TOR network has been getting absolutely shit nigger raped for the last 24 hours. This site needs an alternative to the onion. Make a fucking eep site or some shirt, lokinet, any alternative to TOR is necessary for survival. The onion network is not reliable and the entire onion network is functionally unusable for multiple days constantly because of attacks. As far as I can tell eep sites are supposed to be much faster too. I don't know how good lokinet is and haven't looked into it much. I have no clue which of the 40 random meta threads codexx or blackedfag pays attention to.

>>7657 The problem is that, for some reason, there doesn't seem to be a specific rule that regulates the abuse of power by board owners or global volunteers. The closest would be a vague reference in https://archive.is/LATEb#6346 more precisely this: >Intentionally destroying communities or trying to drive users apart violates Global Rule 3 Although it is not clear to me how it could be applied in this case. But there are also the complaints to the owner of >>>/b/ that were made in >>7184 but I haven't seen what that left. The only good thing about all this is that at least the anons seem to be taking it with humor as you can see in these images. >>7662 >The letters need to vary in size and shape in a way that makes it difficult to run them through OCR and get a consistent outcome, especially with warping and stretching. I can only think of using a font like https://fontsgeek.com/brushscript-lt-font or similar that imitates cursive (although instead of cursive it could also be ronde), but I have no idea how well the letters would be distinguishable for humans when it are warped/stretched. Regarding Brushscript LT, I was testing on some sites that do OCR, and only one could recognize the text but only partially.

>>7665 And why in the fuck there should be a rule about that? This is not a fucking kindergarten, this is a INFINITE IB, if you don't like how a BO manage a board then grow a pair and create your own board instead of crying like a little children lmao

>>7661 > after these are truly functional The filters are already truly functional, in fact I would say they do an outstanding job at filtering words, the only problem is that you can bypass it with special characters like à, á, ë, í, ü, õ etc, that needs to be fixed, not relaxing the filter system. As I said to >>7665 stop bringing nigger drama to this thread, if BO and VO are a pair of faggots then DIY and create a new board or use another one, there are like 8 spanish boards already or more, so if they still use that board that's up to the community, the roots are not a babysitter, we all have more than 18yo already

>>7668 Bwoo ho hoo, the crybaby pissed himself? Kek No one cares about your niggerdrama faggot, either DIY or jump from a building

>>7641 >>7642 I have investigated the issue of the missing icons: apparently, this part of the CSS is broken on my pc: @font-face { font-family: 'Icons'; src: url('./fonts/open-iconic.eot'); src: url('./fonts/open-iconic.eot?#iconic-sm') format('embedded-opentype'), url('./fonts/open-iconic.woff') format('woff'), url('../open-iconic.ttf') format('truetype'), url('../open-iconic.otf') format('opentype'), url('./fonts/open-iconic.svg#iconic-sm') format('svg'); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; } I've tried a couple of quickfixes by manually editing the CSS with no luck. To be clear, with the above part of the CSS active all the icons are completely transparent, but removing it will replace them with the error boxes. Any clue on how to fix it and if it's a me problem or a you problem?

>>7671 This is something of a heisenbug we've encountered before but have never been able to pin down 100%. The basic problem is that the Open Iconic font is not being downloaded properly. Why this happens is unclear, because usually there's no network issues and it often doesn't report as failed in the download log. You can try opening your browser's development tools (Ctrl+Shift+I) and opening the network tab, then refreshing. You should see if any assets fail to download. You can look for open-iconic specifically and see if it's not able to download it for some reason. The problem is that it's hard for us to reproduce. I think all of us have had it happen sporadically. It used to occur on Tor, but then stopped. You can try installing Open Iconic locally and see if that resolves the issue; it should fall back to a local version if the web font fails to load.

>A file had a format that is not allowed by the server. I got this webm off the original 8chinz, but for some reason I can't post it here. https://anonfiles.com/x0D2ubTfy0/The_Chance_of_a_Lifetime_THQ_webm Any idea why? I can run it through webmforretards and quintuple it's filesize to make it work, but that's not exactly ideal.

>>7677 >Any idea why? That's because it's a Matroska file (you find out using the file command or uploading it to https://www.checkfiletype.com/ ), a format that apparently is not supported on this site. >I can run it through webmforretards and quintuple it's filesize to make it work, but that's not exactly ideal. You can try to convert it with ffmpeg or https://freetoolonline.com/ffmpeg-online.html Another option would be to extract what interests you with mkvextract (included in https://mkvtoolnix.download/downloads.html ) or with MKVExtract GUI ( https://www.dvd-guides.com/guides/video-edit/157-how-to-extract-video-audio-or-subtitles-from-a-matroska-mkv-file ).

There might be bots inflating /interracial/ lately, given the user count was 17 until it exploded to 48 today.

Can't connect to 8ch.moe, however 8chan.se works

>>7680 Maybe because it's 8chan.moe not 8ch.moe.

>>7679 They and /2dblacked/ were raided yesterday, which increased their active IP numbers. The raid is over, but it takes a while to refresh the IP counter.

>>7682 Sure is quite the (((coincidence))) that they get raided almost immediately after I told a fag pointing out the boards existing that they have no userbase or PPH.

>>7041 >>7042 >>7043 Who the fuck is even Luciano? I don't fucking know even the autist niggers of the board. How is saying "CDPR is now run by trannies" a bannable offence?

>>7688 Are you using Tor by any chance?

>>7689 Nope, not at all.

>>7692 Odd. Not all of Tor's exit nodes are recognized as such, so sometimes they are banned by accident because they look identical to regular IPs. I imagined this was the case since this "Luciano" always uses Tor to post. Another weird thing I noticed is that the bypass with that ban doesn't have a single post on /v/, only the posts you've made here on /site/. Anyways, the ban has been lifted. I'll contact the mod who gave it to get more details.

>>7649 >failed captcha 10 times >please wait for valida fuck. Can't staffs contact whoever made these to at least doesn't include smallcap letters? iirc the previous one only consist of number and uppercase

Would it be possible to implement Gallery mode? I would really appreciate that.

The .moe domain's fucked. Images are behaving strangely and the captcha is broken. If I click a thumbnail to expand the image, it opens in a new tab as well. And when I click again to unexpand the image, it opens a second tab with the image. When I try to post, instead of the normal block bypass captcha I get >No JS bypass validation >Copy the hash and use the Java PoW solver to obtain the code. and any attempt to interact with the window floods me with half a dozen messages of >Blank parameter: code, the parameter is not present. I had to switch to .cc to post this.

>>7698 The .moe domain is under maintenance, that's why things aren't working as expected. An announcement has been at the top of the page for days. >DOWNTIME on .MOE Domain ONLY next couple days. PLEASE USE .SE or .CC to access site!

>>7697 A basic gallery mode can be enabled by pressing this button.

test

test 2 Works on my machine?

>>7699 >An announcement has been at the top of the page for days. Yeah, exactly. If the maintenance is supposed to last a couple days, and it's been more than a couple days since the banner was put up, and the .moe domain is no longer experiencing "downtime" and is accessible again, then the obvious conclusion is that that maintenance is over.

>>7703 A fair point. In reality the scheduled maintenance hasn't even happened yet due to foot dragging by customer service people and MUH COVID. A new announcement will go up when its ready. The current issues are being caused by a DDoS attack. The host CDN is keeping us online okay but they're not as robust as Cuckflare was so things might get a little weird on .moe until it settles down.

>>7706 so the .moe problem is caused by a ddos attack. and for that reason we had to use se and cc.

How long are bans on /v/?

Should any concern be raised about current going's-on? More specifically this :https://archive.is/NykUF

>>7709 Depends on the mod and the motive of the ban, but the average is 3 days. >>7710 The article is clickbait based on more clickbait. The "collapse" of the Moldovan government is just the resignation of its Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilita, who appointed her security advisor as her successor. Western media is claiming that "Moldavia is lost" because the former PM was pro-Ukraine and pro-west, while ignoring that the new PM is no different from her. This said, the war actually supposes a latent threat for 8moe, not only because Moldavia could be dragged to it, but because the country's electric infrastructure is partially connected to Ukraine's, which are obvious targets.

Haven't posted here in a while because IRL shit that I have to deal with, anything new or noteworthy happened during the last two months? >>7635 Kill yourself.

>>7638 >>7636 >>7599 >An autist managed to automate solving the old one. Evidence? when did that happen?

The .cc domain's certificate has expired and needs renewing.

>>7718 came here to post this

>>7717 It didn't. They're just retarded.

>>7700 Sorry about that, I can't see icons and the other fix didn't help, so I never even realized it was there. On another note, could it be possible to mark /hispachan/ as NSFW? They clearly are not playing by other boards rules or need more jannies to spoiler their files. Also, could it be possible to include more boards in the SFW overboard?

>>7718 >>7719 Fixed a bug in the cert generation process. It wasn't properly utilizing the new cert for .cc and was trying to offer up the expired one for the old domains on that server. Should be all better now. >>7717 >>7720 Started late last year. In the beginning it was cracking bypasses at a rate of about 2 per minute. It had to be automated because it was going 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We watched it accelerate for several weeks (some kind of AI, we think) and I took this pic to show Stephen Lynx shortly before we changed the captcha font. It cracked all those in about 3 or 4 hours.

>>7722 SFW board marks are voluntary and up to the BO to decide. We can speak to board owners if they have an excess of violating images being posted regularly.

How to hyperlink to other boards in the Board Announcement, and format it?

>>7726 Links can be added using the following markdown: [Visibletext](http://some.link) For internal links, like boards, individual posts and static pages, you need to remove the domain: [Wild & Silly](/sm) [This thread](/site/res/5423.html) [Da Rulz](/.static/pages/globalRules.html) The rest of 8chan's markdown works on the board message too, so you can include [doom] [moe] == text in your messages.

Can someone please inform me how to remove my name? I set up a name using a tripcode once and now it loads it on every single page I open and it's a pain having to delete it every time. Is there a option for the site to not remember my identity/name/tripcode and just manually type it when I need it? Thank you.

>>7728 Close all pages except one, and on that one make a post without using your name/tripcode. This should cause the cache to update so that it doesn't include your name/tripcode in the name field.

>>7729 I regularly only have a single thread open because I don't like having many tabs up on my browser and it always remembers my name as Anonymous##rs which is a pain even though I don't have the option to always post using role signature enabled

>you do not have clearance to create boards Huh?

the sidewide captchas are getting more unreadable

>>7732 Skill issue.

>>7730 You don't happen to use chrome and downgrade it, do you?

>>7770 Seeing this little fella everywhere, wondering if it's a cached/time zone/time drift issue or something

>>7771 Clear your cache, we had a quick maintenance earlier.

So are you ever going to communicate why TOR posting and the onion just break completely when the site is being fucked with? Didn't you explicitly design a system to block out people who don't have pre-existing block bypasses? Yet TOR will just be fucked for 3 days straight with no way to post on the site and there's zero information from any admins about why it's happening, if it's a bug, if it's intentional to deal with bad actors, etc. You just get errors when trying to post and that's it. This site has reached cripplekike levels of communication over the last few months. Not that is was much better to begin with.

>>7731 I'd like to create a new board and this is presenting a problem

>>7779 And now TOR is outright blocked from even text posting. I assume it's a temporary measure but the fact that a single autistic retard can prevent me from using the site is both sad and hilarious. Especially considering all the show boating you did about your epic systems where you can stop spam attacks. You show off all these systems in tests and when push comes to shove either they aren't accessible to the BO's that need them or they just prove completely ineffective and regular anons get fucked. Then you just say nothing about it until a week goes by and maybe if you're lucky you'll catch Acid posting about it in the GG thread for it to get seen by a handful of posters and no one else. Get your shit together retards.

>>7731 >>7780 You need to verify your e-mail. If you have difficulty receiving a a confirmation link, send an e-mail to the admins with that address and it can be manually confirmed.

Browser: Librewolf 64-bit version 110.0-1 Despite checking Strip Filenames the names of the images I posted were not stripped.

>>7790 So it looks like it did strip the filenames off the last 2 images but not the first three, is it because their saved name is their hash or something like that?

>>5423 TOR is still not working, fix please

>>7799 >>7783 I'll let Acid know right away. I've been away with the flu for the past few days and I think Acid has been dealing with some stuff at work. Apologies for any delay in detecting a bug; Tor should have been fully reactivated days ago. We don't like to leave it down for more than a few hours, or a day if things are really bad. It's helpful if you specify if you're using TOR on clearnet along with the domain (.moe, .se, etc) or via the .onion address, as all of these have separate routing rules. >>7790 Yes, "Strip Filenames" just uses the SHA256 hash that LynxChan will use to store the image. If the filename is already the hash, it will not create a new one at random. It's based on the contents of the file.

>>7801 Both clearnet TOR and onion routed TOR are blocked from posting on the boards.

>>7803 And even redchannit as well as the other domains to .moe block both clearnet and onion TOR posting.

>>7803 >>7804 Well it's back now. Partially. File posting is disabled.

FINALLY YOU FUCKERS. What the fuck happened to warrant this?

>>7818 Silva, the child model posting faggot of darkness, unleashed an unspeakable butthurt.

If I own a board and would like to hide certain other boards from the Top Boards banner (for instance, /zoo/, or alternatively anything NSFW), is there a way to do so through the administrative tools?

>>7821 Not currently, but I do have some ideas to make filtering possible, and I'm going to look into them for the next update.

Why the hell did you turn file posting off again after turning it back on?

>>7823 Please respond.

>>7823 >>7824 If they haven't even explained why TOR was disabled for over a week why the fuck do you think they are going to explain anything? It's become abundantly clear that they aren't interested in being transparent about whatever the fuck they are doing.

>>7825 What I want to know is what was different about the spam last week that prompted this change vs all the other times before?

Has anyone complained about these new captchas? Am I complaining about these new captchas? Seriously, guys, WTF? Has niggerpill gotten that good at solving them?

>>7803 Its amazing how much regular traffic dies down the moment tor stops working. And its still down. Can't even text post. >>7833 I know what you mean, sometimes it takes longer to clear the captcha, than to actually reply to a post. I've given up several times.

>>7833 From I see most of them are practically unreadable.

>>7833 I agree, they fucking blow. Most are unreadable like >>7835 says. Shit like that is overkill.

>>7833 >>7835 >>7836 That's because the difficulty was set to hardcore mode due to the extreme spam going on /v/ some hours ago. It will go to normal once the admins become free from their IRL issues and lower the difficulty.

Please turn Tor back on. 8chan is a ghost town without it.

>>7838 It's been off for over a week so a lot of those active posters probably have fucked off by now anyways. I doubt any more than 30% of those posters will be retained, and those number will dwindle more and more as TOR is down with absolutely no communication about the situation. At the very least if Acid gave a fucking estimate for when it would be turned back on those users might remember to come back then. But for all they know it's turned off permanently and they have no reason to use the site anymore. But I'm sure the next time Acid talks about the state of the site he'll cite how sick his beaner metrics are while ignoring the depleting english speaking user base and pretending like that problem doesn't exist. Ironically we had more direct communication when Mark was at least able to relay issues to codemonkey. Now Mark is just another faggot like the rest of us and has no clue what the fuck is happening. Though Codexx doesn't seem to have any clue either so who the fuck even knows anymore. Maybe even Acid doesn't know. Maybe the site was taken over by a malicious party and we're in a honeypot.

>>7839 >It's been off for over a week oh god, is this how its going to be from now on? fml srsly. so tired of this.

>>7839 >entice pedos to come to your site by naming it this and basing its entire existence on lolicon >report their identifying information locally if they do anything illegal on the site while barebacking its been a honeypot the entire time.

Error requesting password recovery, the email is sent quickly but the link does not work. http://8chan.moe/recoverAccount.js?hash= *hash* &login= *Name* is this verification link correct with the current 8chan internal format?

>>7840 It was on just a day ago, but the spam started again. >>7839 I'm working an alternative solution. Acid is working on an alternative solution. It will be reactivated soon. >>7843 There's been no change to how those links work. I'm going to forward this to Stephen Lynx since it's most likely an upstream bug. You can e-mail me directly at codexx (at) cock (dot) li, from the e-mail associated with your account, and I can reset your password manually.

>>7848 is it possible for you to turn off tor for the affected boards only? or are you going to keep disabling it for the entire site the moment somefag starts spamming a little?

The .moe domain hasn't worked for me in like two weeks, I'm on protonvpn.

I can't use redchannit.org to call felbot a nigger in the /v/ meta thread in order to speed up my unbanning process, so i'll do it here: please unmod him and/or publicly execute him, for the good of us all

>>7857 Lifted.

>>7865 thank ya; now back to meaningless shitposting

>>7866 Secondary ban lifted.

>>7867 i probably should have tested it before i replied but thank ya again; if possible, please make the default ban length like six hours because i dont think felbitch even puts numbers into the duration

Hey Codexxx. You ever get around to making threadwise r9k/duplicate file detection?

>>7870 Go to your board's settings page and enable "Threadwise R9k".

>>7871 Awesome. Not a BO, just asked for this like a year ago.

I notice that many of my posts from March 1 to March 19 in >>>/hisrol/ were deleted for the own acid https://8chan.moe/.global/logs/hisrol/2023-03-19.html Can I at least know the reason for this?

Speaking of /hisrol/, how up to date is the board backup? Because in >>>/hisrol/83270/ and >>>/hisrol/83276/ the owner is threatening to close and delete it at 6:00 GMT. I want to believe that this is some bad joke for April Fool's Day and that in a while he will come out with a "nigger, you bought it, kek", but in case this is for real, wouldn't he be violating some rule? Because the announcement was only made a few hours ago and does not give enough time for users to do something to maintain the continuity of the board (or at least make a proper backup of the threads so that content is not lost).

>>7884 Too late nigger that was already talked about I hate the antichrist >2a8fed

>>7884 >I want to believe that this is some bad joke for April Fool's Day and that in a while he will come out with a "nigger, you bought it, kek" Well... This is awkward... It certainly was

>>7843 >>7848 I solved it very easy, I just put an s in http:// and it confirmed the account. The email sends the link in http instead of https and that's why the error. It is easy to patch.

>>7839 >At the very least if Acid gave a fucking estimate >But for all they know it's turned off permanently >>7848 >I'm working an alternative solution. Acid is working on an alternative solution. It will be reactivated soon. Can we have an update on Tor now? Or is it really gone forever?

In a similar way to how we have a redchannit domain to by pass restrictions in Germany and Russia, would it be possible to have a separate domain that connects to 8ch but: 1) Omits all NSFW boards from board list, overboard, top boards banner etc 2) Prevents board creation and 3) Has a name completely different from "8chan" or any other IB like name? The reason why is that I've been trying to convince a few people to come here but most refuse because of the stigma of 8chan Prime, the ludicrous idea that the site somehow promotes CeePee and the existence of boards such as /delicious/ being promoted on the homepage. Since I don't wish for any one to have their board removed just to cotton up to the feelings of newcomers but wish to have newcomers all the same, I thought it would be a good way of getting new users to stay, even if only on part of the site.

>>7897 If people refuse to use the site because of /delicious/ then they should stay on their faggot main stream platforms. Those are the exact kind of fucking retards you don't want on a site like this. You're literally those retards in the hobby comic strip slowly introducing people to the game that don't have any interest in the root of the experience. It's commendable to be advertising to people and trying to grow the site, good for you. But creating neutered versions of the site to appease those losers is fucking embarrassing. Even the most niggercattle of niggercattle I know from cuckchan don't give a single fuck about loli shit. The pedoshit phrase "cunny" was literally born from cuckchan /tv/ not that long ago. So I reject the notion that there's some widespread disgust towards loli shit from people in the imageboard orbit. It sounds like you just only know absolute faggots.

>>7889 >Can we have an update on Tor now? Or is it really gone forever? Don't worry in 3 more weeks someone will tell you that they are working on it and give no estimate for when it's coming back.

>>7909 Because that is the exact opposite of "going all the way". Going all the way would be banning all zoo and loli related content instead of quarantining it to the NSFW version of the site. Pedoniggers weren't quarantined, they were purged. The situations are not analogous. But you never did quite grasp the concept of an analogy.

>>7902 Tor is back. Seems the admins never tested it and just assumed it was working. https://8chan.moe/site/res/1651.html#7905

>>7912 And we got hit with spam within a couple hours. Tor posting will return once I make some adjustments. Will require some development time.

>>7911 >you're trying to "quarantine" loli content No I'm not. >the situations are perfectly analogous. No they aren't. >>7918 Took me a few minutes to figure out how to filter the spam. Surely a master coder such as yourself could figure out how to solve it on your end within a fucking month of TOR being down.

>>7901 >But creating neutered versions of the site to appease those losers is fucking embarrassing. Except that's not what I'm asking for. We have a SFW Overboard, so why is our Homepage filled with NSFW boards too? And I agree completely that if people wish to use the site they have to comply with what the majority of the userbase wants it to be. I don't want to ban a single topic on 8chan. The problem is that users who posts primarily on imageboards are decreasing each year and it's hard to get new blood if most normalfag's experience of the internet is just six sites. You need to mold them into being IB users, and you can't do that if you immediately throw every important aspect of an IB onto them all at the same time. >>7911 >considering the site is already in a fucking embarrassing state as a result of neutering itself to appease people who won't use it anyway why not go all the way with it? What are you onto about, the amount of junk I see posted here that would not fly at all under other imageboard is insane, maybe it's not /baphomet/ tier but it sure doesn't look neutered to me. If you're angry about /v/ being handled by Mark though yeah I agree.

>>7923 >Except that's not what I'm asking for. We have a SFW Overboard, so why is our Homepage filled with NSFW boards too? I mean that is exactly what you asked for. I wouldn't have an issue with NSFW boards being put behind a drop down or on a link to 8chan.moe/nsfw board list or some shit. But the idea of creating a completely segregated domain to shield the normalniggers from knowing they are using a site that has loli porn on it is fucking pathetic. As is creating a domain that isn't called 8chan because the name 8chan is scary. Even as someone who thought calling this site 8chan was brain dead getting a domain with different branding because you are worried about spooking retards is unimaginably lame. If someone is the kind of person that wouldn't use the site because they know it has loli porn on it then they are the kind of person that shouldn't be using the site. >What are you onto about, the amount of junk I see posted here that would not fly at all under other imageboard is insane, maybe it's not /baphomet/ tier but it sure doesn't look neutered to me. If you're angry about /v/ being handled by Mark though yeah I agree. That's LCP. He's literally just butthurt you can't post CP here. Ignore virtually everything he says.

>>7924 >I wouldn't have an issue with NSFW boards being put behind a drop down or on a link to 8chan.moe/nsfw board list or some shit That's an interesting idea too. >As is creating a domain that isn't called 8chan because the name 8chan is scary We do have Redchannit for Germans and Russians though. >If someone is the kind of person that wouldn't use the site because they know it has loli porn on it then they are the kind of person that shouldn't be using the site. While I agree with you on that one, the problem is that people are now brainwashed into thinking 99% of 8chan is illegal content, when it isn't as a fucking friend of a Fed is its owner. It's hard to deprogram people, so I find it easier to make them reach their own conclusions, much like a lot of the early adopters of the site did.

>>7925 >Redchannit Can't post from it, though. Not with TOR blocked--

>>7925 >We do have Redchannit for Germans and Russians though. That's a TOR portal. I don't think the domain has anything to do with evading 8chan branding. If it does then that's retarded. >While I agree with you on that one, the problem is that people are now brainwashed into thinking 99% of 8chan is illegal content, when it isn't as a fucking friend of a Fed is its owner. It's hard to deprogram people, so I find it easier to make them reach their own conclusions, much like a lot of the early adopters of the site did. If someone is that fucking retarded then tricking them into using a site they believe has illegal content is going to freak them out when they eventually discover what is going on. It's a stupid approach no matter how you look at it. It's fine to want to bring new users here but there are much better and less convoluted ways to go about it than fracturing into micro domains that hide the scary drawings from retards. It's one thing to hide content and boards from governments. It's another to hide it from pearl clutching losers.

>>7927 Then how do you suggest resolving the issue of users not even bothering looking at the site? Though I hope you agree with me that a SFW home page should co-exist with a NSFW one.

>>7928 The exact same way you propose to solve it, advertising. I just don't think you need to change the content of the site to keep the users. The sites problem isn't that people know it exists and are scared to use it. The sites problem is that people don't know it exists. >Though I hope you agree with me that a SFW home page should co-exist with a NSFW one. Sure you don't need nigger cocks to be slapped next to anime and video games. I just don't want them completely hidden away so people can be tricked into not even realizing they exist. Especially since whether anyone likes it or not borderline and edgy NSFW content is one of the only things this site actually has going for it to motivate people to use it and migrate their communities here, as you can't post loli in most other places. Not being able to directly link certain loli boards was a huge issue for awhile. Mostly solved now I think.

>>7929 How about having 8chan.moe be the one with all NSFW features already showing from the homepage, while 8chan.se be the one that starts with all the settings on SFW by default? By the way, if it were done like this, I wish that the homepage for the NSFW website would also show pictures from NSFW boards on the Latest Images panel.

>>7930 You're just describing the exact system I already called fucking lame. Segregating the NSFW into a dedicated domain to shield the eyes of pearl clutchers. You can do it, but I very much doubt it will accomplish any meaningless user retention and the optics will just be the same as when cuckchan did exactly that, that the site is becoming weirdly corporate and lame. I think you're just grasping at straws. Just advertise to people you think aren't mega gay. Worrying about appeasing people scared of porn is a waste of time.

>>7923 >maybe it's not /baphomet/ tier but it sure doesn't look neutered to me >>4481 we must be looking at completely different things here because what I see is a total surrender to the censorious demands of entities with no legal affiliation whatsoever like cloudflare. josh for all his fuck ups is at least fighting the adversity hes faced with instead of cowering away from it like the charlatans here that would have you believe they're some kind of free speech defender trying to provide a platform for the "deplatformed or marginalized".

>>7932 Can you give me an example of what you can't post here that you can totally post on 4chan? >>7931 Then, again, I'm asking for your solution to the problem, because grabbing two extra users a month under the best of conditions isn't really what I call organic growth.

>>7934 >Can you give me an example of what you can't post here that you can totally post on 4chan? yes but the point isn't that 4chan is any better because its not. its just not any worse while also having an actual userbase so anyone would be stupid to choose here over there.

>>7934 >Then, again, I'm asking for your solution to the problem, because grabbing two extra users a month under the best of conditions isn't really what I call organic growth. I already told you. The only thing the average anon can do to grow the site is to advertise to people in places they think are appropriate. There's literally nothing else you can do besides tell people the site exists and that they can create whatever board they want. If you're actually that concerned about user retention you should be more focused on the fact that the admins literally just forgot to turn TOR back on for a month then instantly turned it back off anyways. There are way bigger issues at the moment than hiding nigger dicks from newfags.

I can't post here after trying to solve the captcha, it just gives a >blank parameter code prompt

>>7938 So, you can't. >>7939 >The only thing the average anon can do to grow the site is to advertise to people in places they think are appropriate. And which ones do you think would work best?

>>7945 Specific niche cuckchan boards and threads. Open source social media platforms that by nature are almost entirely used by autists. Matrix chat rooms, IRC rooms, (((discords))) oriented around esoteric hobbies that overlap with this site like old video games and the like. You advertise to places that contain the kind of content and people you want to post here. But it needs to be genuine, not just retarded spam. If there's some discussion about a weird game, you can mention that people here are also discussing that game. Sort of like when people drop by in the MMO threads and mention that on cuckchan people are doing some MMO guild shit.

>>7928 >>7929 >>7930 >>7931 >>7932 >>7934 People here really seem to brush pic related off and how effective it was in attracting users and granting audiences to other boards as well as their content. I feel 8moe needs to bring pic related back, the overboard is hidden and no one is really using the overboard to scroll through threads with recent posts when they can get it all sith pic related when they first access the site, as was the case with 8chan Prime.

>>7951 I'm sure seeing a bunch of threads with spic retards roleplaying is going to really drive activity for the site dude.

>>7951 I am with >>7952 here in that if it's not implemented right, most people are going to be shown only hispanic posts.

1) With the recent stress on the website imposed by the South American communities, I was wondering, how are the site's finances? 2) Do you think there could be some ways to improve them without having to resort to donations or merchandise? 3) Which countries block or are blocked by the site?

>>7951 I'll see if this can be implemented, and have a different version generated per language. The engine has the components needed to do that. >>7955 The site's hardware was spec'd to handle a 5-10x increase in users and we have some additional resources available to handle a DDoS. The cost is not burning a hole in our pocket. We're generally opposed to taking in any kind of income. We certainly never expect to see a profit. We've had discussions about it before and we definitely don't want to be beholden to advertiser whims. I think the only reason we would do merchandise is because we'd be interested in owning something ourselves and you generally need to produce in bulk. I doubt we could even sell enough items to make it profitable if we tried. To my knowledge, we blocked Russia over the loli issue but have discussed unblocking to spite them now that none of our infrastructure is located there. Finland, Moldova, Ukraine, and Hungary may be rerouted based on which frontend they try to connect to, since various frontends are hosted there. Israel and China are blocked because an inordinate amount of spam and cyberattacks come from IPs located there. I think that's the most current list. There might be other countries caught in the frontend redirects. Sometimes Acid moves a server or configures a new one. These are not "blocks" per se but some IPs can have difficulty connecting to certain frontends so I'm listing them anyways.

>>7698 >>7699 >>7703 >>7706 The image issue, with every click opening a copy in a new tab, is still happening. I'd been using .cc to avoid it but that's currently down so I went back to .moe, and the problem is still there.

>a few dozen easily filtered line break spam posts gets TOR completely banned for months >meanwhile the constant image spam over the clearnet that can't be filtered in any way doesn't get clearnet banned At this rate the only retards left using this dying site will be cuckchan spic migrants.

>>7968 The difference is automation. It's easy to manually ban a few shitty manual spammers. Automated spam requires some additional adjustments. A new LynxChan update is in the pipeline so I'll be testing against that and hopefully releasing when it does.

>>7969 Anons automated filtering line break spam within minutes of being exposed to it. And you have an entire feature called the PoW bypass to completely negate the issue beyond that. And yet here we are months later and still no TOR. It's an embarrassment. You parade around these tools then don't give BO's or mods ways to actually utilize them despite requests made years ago for them. Then regular users just end up getting fucked with next to no communication for weeks or months at a time. It's a shit-show and there's no way around how incompetent it makes you look.

>>7970 >and still no TOR Tor really made 8chan stand out from 4chan and the like. Made responding to posts quick and easy. Now we have nothing and we probably won’t ever see it again. And even if we get it back, some spamfag it going to circumnavigate the fix like before. Then we need to wait another 6 months again for an "update". Rinse and repeat. It’s basically a dead feature.

Requesting a prompt asking if you want to filter the user you reported. Would be a convenient feature for anons to take care of a problem and automatically start ignoring them (since a lot of issues come from anons constantly replying to bait and spam), but since its just a prompt and not automatic, it can avoid issues for memes or reporting for reasons like thread migration.

>>7957 >I think the only reason we would do merchandise is because we'd be interested in owning something ourselves How about deploying a webhosting server specifically made to host imageboards? I would totally pay for that and I'm pretty sure a lot of anons would do too. Or at least getting higher privileges as a board owner so they can add stuff to the source and get a personal web domain or something like that.

Guten tag, Anonymous. I come bearing updates and news. TRANSPARENCY REPORT >9 DMCA takedowns, all between /interracial/ and /vore1/ >5 IP addresses reported to providers under Global Rule 2 for CSAM >Zero law enforcement requests >Zero subpoenas The warrant canary is still valid. GENERAL SITE NEWS You may have noticed that the .cc domain has been offline for a couple weeks. We have shut it down to save funding to help us make some improvements to the .moe domain later. We have also been dealing with a persistent pedo-spammer, who's activity forced us to remove Torposting for the past several weeks. They bypassed POW using sheer volume and set up a pajeet captcha-solving service to get around the captcha system, apparently trying to "make a point" that our efforts to stop them from posting CP on our site were in vain. They were not, because this has all led to something new. NEW FEATURE ANNOUNCEMENT Over a year ago I had an idea for a system that would allow ordinary users to continue posting while preventing spammers. It was actually the same idea that inspired the site's "stealth bunker mode" that we tested last year before we lost Cloudflare. With excellent work on the part of Stephen Lynx and Codexx, the anti-spam system that I imagined is now installed and working. The new system is called >TABS - Trusted Anonymous Bypass System, or just TAB System The way it works is very simple. Before, when a user requested a bypass the server just handed them one with no questions asked other than the captcha/POW. With TABS, the server doesn't give out a bypass until it has made sure that the user requesting the bypass was a user in good standing. i.e., that their bypass, even if it is currently expired, is trustworthy. TABS can be activated by any global mod and doesn't require admin permission. When its bypass block function is turned on, only trusted users will be allowed to get bypasses and all others, such as spammers or outsiders, will be blocked. There's no captcha they can solve or POW they can crack - it slams the door in their face completely. What you need to do: Configure your browser to not delete your cookies for 8chan. If you lose your bypass the system can no longer tell you apart from a stranger (its a zero trust model), and you will be blocked from posting if TABS is turned on. If you preserve your cookies then you will be fine. >What about TOR? This system works the same whether on TOR or clearnet, and now that we have tested it properly we feel that its time to put Torposting back on the menu. Its text-only for now, but Tor is active again as of this message. Note that Tor Browser habitually clears cookies when you shut it off, so change your settings if you don't want to be locked out! >What exactly constitutes "good standing"? A few things that may change as we make incremental updates and improvements, but the data that TABS can key off of to determine standing is the same data that Lynxchan has always had. Content of your posts, the age of your bypass, moderation actions against you, etc. We deliberately refused to key off of any kind of user-identifying data such as IP addresses or geolocation. Hence the "Anonymous" in "Trusted Anonymous Bypass." >Is this thing always on? How will new users post? The only part that is always on is the part that determines your bypass's standing. The rest only happens when the Bypass Block function is activated, such as during a spam attack. New users can still join and post regularly and obtain trusted bypasses, though they may find themselves blocked if they try to join for the first time at the exact moment that the bypass block is active. Fortunately this represents a very small proportion of users, and they will have an easier time of things later on as we make further improvements to the system. Other News Your favorite Asukafag's health has recovered a great deal since the last metapost. The global economy is in the shitter so servers are more expensive and we've dialed back side projects. The three of us are all quite busy IRL these days just keeping up, but life is going okay. We're looking into lots of little shit for the site including a new .moe frontend on a more powerful server with its very own DDoS guard, just cuz. Better, or at least faster, backup and restore systems for the server. Codexx has been juggling the streaming site and the booru and making some headway. I think that about covers it. Oh! And happy third anniversary! While the community always tended to celebrate the 8chan anni in October, this website became three years old on April 24th! So make like Mark and have a piece of cake if you haven't already. Auf wiedersehen!

>>8010 >Auf wiedersehen Oy bay

>>8010 I don't really support this social credit shit. I don't want to store cookies forever as having a clean browser on startup is important to me, and I think this is a kind of obnoxious change that hurts more than it helps. I also don't like the idea that you have to earn a reputation as a regular. I know you don't literally sit there and review it all, but an anonymous imageboard should be as welcome to newcomers as possible and allow the people who are there to be kind of formless and without reputation. Having it set up like this sort of soft bans people for a little bit erratically in a manner that reminds me of mainstream social media sites fucking with the algorithm, if that makes sense. You know, like deboosting and shadowbanning.

>>8010 >Configure your browser to not delete your cookies for 8chan lmao

>>8010 >Its text-only for now, but Tor is active again as of this message. test

>>8012 Its really pretty transparent. The system isn't looking at your opinions, and neither are we. As far as a clean browser on startup, I know the feeling but whitelisting one cookie (the 8chan bypass) shouldn't be a big burden. The alternative would have been blocking both Tor and VPNs and forcing everyone to rawdog the place so that IP bans against CP spammers would stick. One guess is that the shitnigger pedo responsible for most of the spam problem was hoping to push us to do exactly that because he knows that anons would riot. There was one other option but it would involve lots of phonecalls and be even worse for public opinion than locking the site down, so we went with the TABS idea. A site with no Tor or VPN access and threads/boards full of spam is gonna be a lot more unwelcoming to newcomers than the almost nonexistent burden of having their (anonymous, protected) activity ranked by a tool that filters out butthurt pedophiles spamming CP in their discussions. Our goal is to make it impact (you) as little as humanly possible, but anything we do to solve persistent problems is going to touch on the community's zone a little bit. There's always hairs to split, but we always try hard to split them in your favor. Sometimes faggots just don't want you to have nice things, and we try to stop them from getting in your way.

>>8010 Ah it works. Now, is there any way to set up tor to only preserve cookies from 8moe? Because if not that's really really obnoxious. Having tor clear everything out after every session is one of the benefits of using tor. And how does the feature interact with "new identity" or "new tor circuit for this site"?

>>8016 There's usually a setting where you can put certain websites on a whitelist so that their cookies aren't deleted. Check your browser's help menu. I think all the major ones have it. Edit: It won't affect you merely for changing circuits, but if "new identity" clears your cookies then it will affect you when the bypass block is active.

>>8017 I've whitelisted https://8chan.se and it does not appear to be saving cookies when I quit and restart tor. Because it's not maintaining the block bypass or favorited boards.

>>8018 I think with Tor Browser, since its built on Firefox, you also have to uncheck the "Always Use Private Browsing" option in Settings > Privacy and Security. That setting overrides the whitelist.

>>8023 Russia has lost.

>>8020 OK doing a little poking around it seems like the problem is that Tor really isn't set up to do a cookie whitelist without semi gimping Tor. See: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/41078 So this in theory is a good idea but in practice just ends up being an esoteric Tor ban. At best, the concept needs some more work. >>8022 >>8023 I genuinely hope you die in the Russia-Ukraine war.

>>8025 Russia lost, Jewtin lost, and if you think going "durr we're letting the chinks fuck us in the ass too" means anything, you're even more retarded than I thought.

>>8026 That was the wrong (but still relevant) link https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/33540

>>8031 I love the smell of vatnik cope.

>>8010 >Configure your browser to not delete your cookies for 8chan. Uh fuck that shit. But at least TOR posting is back on and you actually communicated your system so everyone isn't left in the dark wondering why the site is dead because of said system. But no, I will not be creating a permanent backlog of all of my activity on your site so you can "trust" me. >>8016 Yes you can, it's rather simple just look in the settings. >>8026 Keeping cookies through sessions on TOR works fine, don't know what you're talking about.

>>8015 Yes it's better to have the system than the alternatives. I am impressed someone as retarded as you came up with an ideal compromise. But if it's left on for more than a day or two I will simply stop using the site because I won't care to check back for when I, an untrusted peasant, will be allowed to post as you predictably just leave it turned on for like 5 months straight because you "forgot" or some dumb shit.

>>8012 >social credit shit This isn't a "social credit system". It's a relatively simple tweak that lets admins stop issuing bypasses to new IPs while letting IPs with existing bypasses renew them when necessary. When that thing is enabled users who are banned can't change IP and get a new bypass to evade their ban, essentially stopping spammers who continuously harvest bypasses to keep a constant flow of spam since the amount of bypasses they can have becomes severely limited.

>>8042 Explaining why the social credit system is necessary doesn't mean it isn't a social credit system. It's literally described as Acid himself as a system that determines which anons are trustworthy based on their traceable history on the site.

>>8041 Any global mod can turn it on or off anon. We specifically didn't want this to be admin-only so there'd be a lot more eyes on when it was active or not so as to avoid the situation you described.

>>8045 That reminds me, the fact these things are global in the first place, at least by default, is retarded. You have an entire site getting slowed to a crawl because one person is spamming the GG thread and virtually no where else. I don't understand why these anti-spam tools aren't just given to the BO's to deal with their own problems. There was never an explanation for why BO's couldn't locally enable PoW bypass and I doubt there will ever be an explanation for this truth system either. Or the explanation is "don't know how to code that lol", which is unsatisfying but at least an explanation.

So, does this mean Soygroids and that CP spamming Alina nigger are BTFO for all time?

>>8010 >Tor fix Thank you for your hard work! Now all we need is tor image posting, then we be golden.

>>5423 The new [Expand Post] feature works really well in stopping spammers dead in their tracks lmao, the CP spammer that's been attacking /v/ for weeks now got blown out of the water by it.

>>8049 >praising a feature that has nothing to do with spam instead of pointing out the absurdity that BO's can't block filter shit after years of development

>>8050 Oh piss off.

>>8051 No. Having inane spam be slightly smaller in size is not an achievement you stupid fuck. BO's should have had the ability to filter this shit from going through ages ago.

It is an achievement, why are you so full of hate?

>>8053 It's an achievement as much as building a gate with no surrounding fence is an achievement. So functionally useless. >why are you so full of hate? I'm full of valid criticisms of the site that haven't been addressed for fucking years while Acid comes up with convoluted shit instead of implementing the most basic of features. Kill yourself tone policing faggot.

That gate must be a 2-in-1 deal if you ask me then. Shortening long posts AND blocking spam sounds like a massive win to me, it seems you're upset over nothing. Typical.

>>8055 Except he hasn't implemented a basic spam filter for BO's to block spam? Are you pretending to be retarded or something?

So what? As I've said. That gate sounds like a 2-in-1 deal. The [Expand Post] feature IS the basic spam protection, and it's sitewide. So what are you angry for? You got exactly what you've been asking for, are you perhaps angry because the gate you speak of doesn't need to be in the control of BOs?

>>8057 >glark glark glark glark please fuck my face glark glark

>>8057 >The [Expand Post] feature IS the basic spam protection, and it's sitewide No it isn't. Spam doesn't stop being spam because it isn't log. When people are spamming images it's still spam. You are legitimately fucking retarded. >You got exactly what you've been asking for No I didn't. >are you perhaps angry because the gate you speak of doesn't need to be in the control of BOs? I can't already control the length of posts. It's literally a basic CSS edit you stupid nigger. What the fuck are you even talking about? It's rare to find sycophants like you that feel the need to attack people for advocating for features the site actually needs to stop it from bleeding fucking users. I haven't seen your kind since 8chan prime. This isn't reddit or discord you subhuman low T loser. Acid isn't going to piss his pants because I call him a retarded nigger loving cuckold while telling him about features the site desperately needs.

You just aren't able to see the forest for the trees. You've been asking for basic spam features and the basic spam feature you so desire has been implemented. It can always be expanded upon (get it?) Basically, If you are not happy with this basic spam prevention feature, you'll need to pay due dilligence and wait for this basic spam feature to be expanded upon. Perhaps that will resolve things to your satisfaction?

>>8060 >You've been asking for basic spam features No I haven't.

Am I to believe you are trolling right now?

>>8040 >Keeping cookies through sessions on TOR works fine, don't know what you're talking about. Yeah it works fine if you want to keep ALL cookies. And it works fine if you want to keep NO cookies. BUT if you only want to keep cookies from one specific site but not others then that doesn't seem possible without really fiddling and possibly compromising Tor. If I'm completely wrong about that last point and you know how to do it then please walk me through it anon.

>>8064 <Cookies and Site Data > Delete cookies and site data when Tor Browser is closed > Manage Exceptions It's possible it doesn't work as I understand it but I'll have to test it later.

>>8065 That's how I thought it would work but it doesn't. When I restart Tor my exception is cleared. I tried it several times. I even disabled permanant browsing mode and it still doesn't keep my exception.

>>8066 It's possible if you check off Clear history when Tor Browser closes, then have everything checked but site data and offline site data, that it might persist. Also having remember browsing history checked might also be the variable.

>>8008 Apparently it was some polyfill thing. I don't know what a polyfill is but it was mentioned in the console and the browser has a box for something about webcomponents-bundle.js that was ticked, and unticking it solves the problem.

>>8067 Unchecking "Delete cookies and site data when Tor Browser is closed" might be required too but wouldn't that just keep all cookies? I don't understand how this whitelist works. And I really don't want to fiddle with it right now because I would have to restart Tor and I only just now was able to get my bypass and I don't want to lose it again for who knows how long.

>>8069 >Unchecking "Delete cookies and site data when Tor Browser is closed" might be required too but wouldn't that just keep all cookies? No because you add an exception. Those are the settings I have that retain certain cookies for me. I manually delete cookies instead.

>>8070 I may just be different for Tor than for other browsers since Tor has a bunch of things changed or disabled to add extra security.

>>8071 I am using TOR. I was going to post a screenshot of my Privacy & Security tab but remembered TOR users can't post files.

>>8048 Nah the day this site becomes golden is when a rule against all the zoophile degeneracy shit that's been happening finally will gets implemented here.

>>8073 Learn english, spic.

>>8010 hey acid, thoughts on >>>/v/819283 ? also, iv just noticed that my browser say in the website identity thing "This website does not supply ownership information.", if it doesn't generate like some exploitable thing or some shit of the like could you put something fun there?

>>8072 In that case I'm really not sure why my exception list isn't sticking.

Fagmins try not fucking up the site for 1 day challenge

test

>>8010 You're basically requiring users to allow tracking themselves permanently to post. I've said it before, but why don't you just implement user accounts instead of beating around the bush this hard? Because all these little features have all the same downsides and then a few more. Relying on a cookie as your lifeline with no way to recover it is feeble as fuck and you won't be able to switch domains (or access channel) in case something goes wrong with what you're using. Having a password to access your "tracking cookie" is the approach sane people would implement, you're just twisting things to avoid calling things what they are to avoid backlash but in the process creating something less functional. And it's not like I like any of this, but I recognize the need to somehow tackle the problem and trying hard to avoid going there only causes this flood of half measures that ultimately fail. And additionally, I hate much more the fact that being a BO since 8chan I have been unable to post on my own damn board for the better part of the year, holy fucking shit niggers. >>8015 >The system isn't looking at your opinions, and neither are we The threat model is that if it's there and can be exploited, you have to assume that it will.

>>8010 how about just allowing logged in users to post over TOR?

>>8082 Well, tor browser is shit. By default it comes set up with permanent private mode and won't care about your exceptions. Disabling that forcefully enables remembering browsing history, although you can get it to delete it on closing the browser. Fags with more specific needs might find it useful to set up a new profile just to browse this place so that setting changes needed to browse here comfortably are isolated from the settings needed for the rest of your browsing habits.

>>8010 >Before, when a user requested a bypass the server just handed them one with no questions asked other than the captcha/POW. With TABS, the server doesn't give out a bypass until it has made sure that the user requesting the bypass was a user in good standing. i.e., that their bypass, even if it is currently expired, is trustworthy I don't have time to test, but when the bypass is renewed does the cookie change to reflect this? If you renew your bypass and just make 1 post, will renewing your bypass the next day make it appear as if you have no post history?

>>8078 Under clear history when tor browser closes you wouldn't want cookies checked. I happened to have them checked because I want cookies deleted, just not site data.

>>8085 Well based on >>>/v/825125 one would have to assume that every time you get a new bypass you are a functionally new person to the TABS system. Problem is that there's a 50% chance Acid just didn't explain that properly and it doesn't actually work like that at all.

tor posting on mobile hardly works, stuck at "please wait for validation" every time.

>>8088 Can the PoW system even run on ARM chips? It either simply can't or they are so inefficient for it that it might take very long. Or your phone is very old.

>>8089 I use the regular android tor browser on it. Worked posting here before the fix. https://www.torproject.org/download/#android

>>8086 I know I'm being very dense, but wouldn't doing that just make Tor maintain ALL cookies between sessions and not just the ones from sites in your whitelist? I've disabled that in the past briefly for various reasons and it seems to keep everything until I manually clear it or change the setting back.

>>8091 Oh yeah, maybe. But I think the "Delete cookies and site data" toggle might overwrite that toggle, thus allowing you to wipe all cookies while also retaining only the ones in your exception list. So you have to tell firefox not to delete cookies in the History section, while telling it to delete cookies in the Cookies and Site data section. Or at least that's my best guess. It's honestly fucking retarded how complicated firefox's privacy settings are.

>>8087 It feels super weird reading in that thread the exact same arguments and questions I've posted over here without having read the other thread first. It's not that what I wrote was difficult to come up with, it's just that I would have thought it was a much less popular stance and I don't remember other people discussing it before.

>>8092 >It's honestly fucking retarded how complicated firefox's privacy settings are. It's super unclear how it's suppose to work. I don't know why they don't make it more straightforward.

Adding these to help explain things. A detailed explanation and spanish translation will be posted in the Rules Compendium soon.

Can you please add a way for TABS to be toggled on and off individually for each board, and make this available for board owners? Since it was switched on I've been getting complaints that people can't post.

>>8100 Doubt it. I asked for PoW bypass to be a BO tool and that never happened. Probably some shit they are dependent on the hue tranny to code and the hue tranny thinks giving BO's the tools to moderate their boards is "rule cucking". It's the same reason we still don't have a basic filter blocking system despite the fact lynxchan already has the underlying system in place. The main lynxchan developer is ideologically opposed to BO's having good moderation tools.

>>8101 Well that sucks.

>>8100 >>8101 If that wasn't a global switch, Sylvia would probably just attack a different board that doesn't have the PoSW/TABS forcing ALL board owners to watch over their boards when the site is being spammed thay would be a pain in the ass to deal with.

>>8103 That implies that the entire system was and is designed to counter a single poster and that there is no other use case for BO's wanting to limit bypass generation. Which is fucking retarded.

>>8104 >That implies that the entire system was and is designed to counter a single poster It clearly was. But just because it was build to counter one specific flooder it doesn't mean it can be used in other similar situations. Actually, I'm quite surprised that ex hispachan users haven't tried to spam the site yet, specially considering there are dozens of people who tried to attack Hispa in the past when it was online. Again, you are looking at it from the user/board owner point of view when Sylvia is clearly a site wide problem.

>>8105 Because more often than not spam is a board related problem and BO's should have more tools to deal with it themselves. or just people ban evading in general. PoW and TABS should be something a BO can personal utilize, regardless of whether or not it needs to be enabled globally on occasion.

>>8106 I agree PoW and TABS should be a local tool.I arguing against the guy who mentioned those tools were made in detriment of locals, where they clearly are to handle global business.

>>8107 They are to the detriment of locals in most instances. It's the exception that a spammer would sit there jumping to a bunch of dead boards to spam images when 99% of the time their objective is to annoy the users on active boards. The overwhelming majority of the time neither of those systems would need to be applied globally.

>>8108 >It's the exception that a spammer would sit there jumping to a bunch of dead boards to spam That's clearly not true. Back on 8chan prime it was quite easy to find spam on smaller boards, remembee the brown pill flood, heck, you could even find pizza. It was such a mess. Again, stop acting like Sylvia is a local /v/ business whe it clearly isn't

>>8110 >that's not true, 4 years ago it happened Stop being retarded. >Again, stop acting like Sylvia is a local /v/ business whe it clearly isn't He literally only posts on threads where people are having conversations. He's not just randomly spamming pictures in secret unlisted boards then linking them to the host to get the site taken down. Stop making me explain things you already know you fucking faggot.

>>8101 >>8103 If it wasn't a global tool, posting would be a mess. Bypasses are assigned globally. Let's say /v/ has Proof of Work on and /v/ doesn't. A user posts on /b/ and gets a bypass. Should they now be allowed to post on /v/? Having a bypass per-user per-board isn't really feasible and would require a complete rethink about how bans are handled. There's also the issue of difficulty. The PoW system can have variable difficulty. If /v/ and /b/ both have Proof of Work on, but /v/'s difficulty is 200 and /b/'s is 100, should they be allowed to post on /v/? They solved an "easier" challenge. The only alternative would be to track what difficulty, if any, a bypass was solved at and then check each board you post on to see if their difficulty is higher. But this could also lead to users have to "upgrade" their bypass every time the proof of work level on a board increases, or if they go to a different board. You'd potentially end up having to solve a PoW challenge every single time you switch boards, or if the Board Owner keeps creeping up the difficulty, between posts. It sounds great. "My favorite board isn't being spammed so we don't need all these barriers!". But the reality is that carving it out per-board would put up more artificial barriers. Per-board TOR and filters that autodelete posts are much more doable. The question was primarily whether or not these would make for a worse experience for some users.

>>8100 And to address this, we're hammering out the issues. It should be turned on much less often now, and once users get a bypass they should be set for weeks unless they dump their cookies. We are integrating a way to export bypass cookies just in case users like to dump their cookies often. The initial tool was a bit hacky but it's improved a lot. If you still have concerns, or your users are still having issues posting, send me an e-mail (codexx [at] cock [dot] li) and I'll work with you directly to improve the situation.

>>8112 >Bypasses are assigned globally. Then they should be assigned locally. >filters that autodelete posts are much more doable Why would you make a filter that auto deletes instead of a filter that blocks?

Re: Global vs local controls The tl;dr is, having it as a global system uses less resources, is more efficient, and has some other advantages as to why Stephen built it that way. Not least of all the aforementioned "the spammer will just hit board after board in sequence instead of being locked out everywhere at once." This arrangement is baked into Lynxchan's engine, and asking us to change it is the equivalent workload of asking a car mechanic to move the wheels to the inside and put the engine in the trunk while keeping the rest drivable. It would fundamentally change how huge sections of the site's core works, and would effectively not be Lynxchan but an entirely new imageboard that we would be writing from scratch.

>>8115 Okay. Now do the reason why post block filters aren't a thing

>>8111 >>that's not true, 4 years ago it happened So it happened and you are assuming there's an existing risk. Thanks for according on my point. >He literally only posts on threads where people are having conversations Just because he's acting like that it doesn't mean he can attack using a different vector later. It doesn't mean all future spam attacks are going to be focused on /v/ using the same tactics. >>8114 >Then they should be assigned locally. I won't be solving a different captcha whenever I want to post on a different board, faggot. That would be a big mess. >>8112 >The question was primarily whether or not these would make for a worse experience for some users. The autodelete and autoban filters were implemented on Hispachan when it was online and it was such a big mess, so I highly discourage you to implement something like that over here.

>>8116 Easy: It's a retarded system that only the mongrels that used to run Hispachan thought it was a good idea.

>>8117 >So it happened and you are assuming there's an existing risk. Thanks for according on my point. I called it an exception, which already assumes that is something that can happen. Never once did I say that global mitigations shouldn't exist for those exceptions, either. You are legitimately fucking retarded dude. >Just because he's acting like that it doesn't mean he can attack using a different vector later. It doesn't mean all future spam attacks are going to be focused on /v/ using the same tactics. I never said it did. Did you read the posts you're responding to? >I won't be solving a different captcha whenever I want to post on a different board, faggot. That would be a big mess. He said while solving a captcha for every single post in this thread. No one thinks solving one captcha for one bypass on a board that will last for fucking weeks is a big deal, stop being stupid. >>8118 Jschan has word blocking and it works fine. You can't just say something doesn't work because some spic monkeys used it and you didn't like it you stupid faggot. There is no reason why I as a BO shouldn't be able to block white space characters that spammers use to fuck with my board because the Admins are too stupid to do it themselves. Why should I wait 6 months for Acid to mitigate spam that I could prevent going through instantly if I had the ability to block posts based on my own regex filters? You are treating Acid like he should be personally responsible for every single board and how they operate. That is complete antithetical to the point of 8chan. BO's should have maximum agency over how they moderate their boards. If you don't like the block filters of a board then make your own without them.

I've noticed that the bypasses now last way longer. I got a bypass cookie last week and it still working. I assume it's a feature to make it work with the tabs, so I'm glad I have to solve less captchas now.

So, I was wondering how much calls to the API are too much calls. I'm developing a python toolbox for interacting with the 8chan API as a base for more complex programs. I want to: >Check if 8chan is online >Send messages >Read threads The last part seems complicated, for instance, I have a chabot that makes posts and I want the program to know when the bot is getting (you)s, my script currently: >Download the content of the thread >Check if there are new messages >Check if among the new messages there are (you)s This seems unpractical since the script makes several calls to the api every minute. So I want to know how many calls are too much. I know with webhooks I can perform this tool way more easily, since my script only gets alerted only when an event happens (new messages in this case) but I don't know a single thing about webhooks and I think they aren't currently working on 8moe.

>>8122 It'll be adjusted to whatever interferes most with your program. If that isn't sufficient then we have the ability to lock the API behind encrypted keys the way some sites already do. Please see Global Rule 3, last section that flatly prohibits: >bot programs or other unauthorized software. Half of the Internet is already overran with AI posting bots pretending to be people. There's absolutely no good reason to bring that stuff here, one of the few refuges away from the cacophonic bland mush of the normalfag Internet. Once upon a time I had the idea to lock the API and write an authorized bot that would function like the old Xchan directory dumper. The thought was to give out a copy and an API key to new BOs so they could dump personal content and help get their board off the ground but if a copy was misused we could simply revoke its key. To prevent other bots, key handouts would be manual and the admins would have to personally sign off on each one. We opted not to do this in favor of leaving the API available for legitimate users who build reader tools and personal archive bots and the like. That was maybe a year and a half ago. I know what its like to fiddle with projects and how addictive that is, so I'm not going to suggest that you should quit working on it. But please, take it somewhere else.

As per the meta thread on /v/ >>>/v/827576 >>>/v/827627 >>>/v/827630 >No, these characters were created using photogrammetry, a technique that involves taking multiple photos and video of an object (or person) from different angles to "scan" it and create a 3D model of it. 8moe's admins (and ATF's staff) ban pornography of characters created through photogrammetry such as Natalia Korda (RE Revelations 2), Alice Williams and Emma Phillips (both from Detroit: Become Human) because there is legal precedent for using photo manipulation to create pornography, and they fear that porn of characters modelled entirely on a minor will approach such legal precedent and could be used against them by law enforcement. >According to ATF staff's logic, motion capture is not close enough to legal precedent, and should not pose a risk to their website and its users. Because of this, they allow porn of Sherry Birkin on their forums (their booru doesn't allow "hyperrealistic" porn in general, regardless of how it was created). Characters whose physique is inspired by real people but who were not created using techniques such as photogrammetry are also far enough away from legal precedent to be "safe". Following this logic, characters like Ellie from TLoU and Sherry Birkin (currently banned in 8moe) should be allowed in the site, but this is at the discretion of the admins and BOs. --- <So if that's known about nuSherry then why is she still banned here by the admins >Because the admins aren't aware of the difference between motion capture and photogrammetry. I recommend to raise this issue on /site/.

>>8124 Do you people ever stop to wonder why you're hated so much by people who would ordinarily be neutral bystanders? Everywhere you go you bring unwanted scrutiny on the rest of us because you just could not keep your hand off your dick.

>>8124 We had discussions on the matter a year or more ago, so I cannot recall all the details and hypotheticals that were discussed, but there's a few issues at play here. I will address them in no particular order. >admins aren't aware of the difference between motion capture and photogrammetry We are aware of the difference. Only models created with photogrammetry are disallowed because they recreate the likeness of a real child. >Sherry Birkin is only motion captured We were informed the model was created with photogrammetry. When I announced the removal of a post with Sherry Birkin featured, I feel I made it clear the decision was based on the photogrammetry issue and I have not personally seen anyone contesting it until now. If you have behind-the-scenes materials on the model's creation then please share them. >motion capture is fine by photogrammetry is not I just said this above but want to qualify that, in my non-expert opinion, it could be argued that animations are also a problem is they're used in something pornographic. But the law was written two decades ago by guys who can't figure out e-mail and there's not really much, if any, precedent on judging where the line is. Regardless, I doubt anyone is going to use some game's mocap data in their porn, so it's probably a non-issue in 99% of cases anyways. >ATF allows photogrammetry I'd be interested to speak to their admins and hear what legal advice they received on the matter, if any. We erred on the side of caution with the decision but if there are experts who feel our interpretation of the law is wrong and we have more leeway then it's always worth revisiting the matter. >>8122 The engine does not have webhooks but you can probably piggyback off of websockets once those are reimplemented. If you're going to poll the API, you should avoid rapid-fire pings that might trip anti-DDoS measures. One ping per minute would be background noise. One ping a second would be way too much. You probably don't need anything faster than that.

>>8125 >3DCG

>>8130 >it could be argued that animations are also a problem I don't see how since people strip out all the default rigging and pose and animate the custom anyway. >We were informed the model was created with photogrammetry. When I announced the removal of a post with Sherry Birkin featured, I feel I made it clear the decision was based on the photogrammetry issue and I have not personally seen anyone contesting it until now. If you have behind-the-scenes materials on the model's creation then please share them. I don't have the information but that other anon claims to. I'll notify him and see if he can provide you with proof. What I do remember is seeing pics Sherry's motion capture artist some time last year and she looked nothing like Sherry and I don't even think she is the same race. It was completely different than say Natalia who looks exactly like her motion capture actor.

>>8130 >One ping per minute would be background noise. One ping a second would be way too much. You probably don't need anything faster than that. I see, I'm currently calling the API every 15 seconds or so, I didn't think that was too much but still I wanted to ask. I might reduce the number of api calls per minute even further.

>>8123 >take it somewhere else. Man I wish I could just do that. The community of anons I like is only here; I tried to taking it somewhere else once but it's just not the same. I totally understand what you mean, but I firmly believe it's a cool idea and anons could get a lot of fun out of it.

>>>/v/827972 >>8130 >>8133 It seems I was wrong about Sherry's origins. RE2 Remake's Sherry Birkin was modeled after not one, but two real child models. Her face was modeled after Hannah Kincaid's (no picture available on internet), while her body was modeled after Shailee Namiki. https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Hannah_Kincaid https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Shailee_Namiki https://www.mobygames.com/game/playstation-4/resident-evil-2___/credits https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp9tGgpBLhS/ Tough luck for /delicious/, I guess. Although it makes me wonder if ATF's staff believes that because it is a character modeled after 2 different people they are safe from the legal precedent they fear so much, or if they just don't know about these origins.

>>8136 >there's someone that's walking around in real life who's as ugly as REmake Sherry Well that's distressing. Hell is empty and all of the potatoes are here it seems.

appealing my /v/ ban here since itll take two days for anybody to look at the appeals page otherwise; i once again ask to either kick fagbitch off the team or change the default ban length to about an hour, since i wouldnt feel so put out about my post getting nuked by a retard if it didnt come with a week-long expulsion

>>8139 Well last time I called out retards for wanting the government to kill people I got banned for being a "fed". So now it's your turn to get banned for the opposite position. It's the law of /v/ moderation inconsistency.

>>8140 The law of /v/ moderation is 'someone reports a post and the whack-a-mole niggervols get the mallet out'. I miss the days when i could make reports while banned, so every time i was unjustly hammered i just flooded the report page with the same reason over and over, since the entire GG thread is as bad or worse than anything i've ever posted. I should test if i can report through redchannit in case i feel the need to do it again, remind tubby talmud that he doesn't need to go with every report that gets sent in. Won't help fagbot, though, he only looks at the report page once every three days so he won't notice it before jewboy mops it all up.

also on the off-chance that felbitch is actually lurking this thread and repealed the ban because of it, he's still doing that double ban bullshit and needs to crank back three times

>>8139 >fed >spam Every fucking time with these braindead cunts.

Just to keep everyone up to date, second ban was repealed. I can only assume globally reporting my own posts is what moved it forward and thus will do that again the next time feltwat bans me in like two more months.

>>8145 That's a known bug and not actually his fault. Bans sometimes just randomly double up.

>>8125 >Do you people ever stop to wonder why you're hated so much by people who would ordinarily be neutral bystanders? its no real mystery when pedo hysteria is something that only exists in feminized countries. the religious indoctrination responsible for your hate is no different than what the fags get and they aren't left wondering where the hate is coming from either. if you were raised in an ordinary environment rather than one riddled with feminist dogma then you wouldn't have felt the need to make this post thats for sure.

I need to test my hypothesis. Is it just me, or is there a sudden sharp drop of activity whenever Marks logs on and makes himself knowm? I notice that everyone basically fucks off or goes "oh shit it's him" into hiding or leaves until Mark goes elsewhere. That's kinda sad lmao, people like /v/ but not the BO. We need a >>>/vbunker/ to test that theory, I would die laughing if it became more active than regular /v/.

>>8155 I get banned all the time from various retarded mods and have never been "scared" off by Mark. Bans are meaningless while the anti-spam features are disabled and it takes 3 seconds to "ban evade". When Mark actually does his namefag thread derail shit most of the time people start asking him to blog post about his life. Another /v/ if ran properly would probably surpass cakejew's /v/, like fatchan's did, but that isn't really the problem. We already know everyone would prefer a better BO to Mark, but what we also know is that no one besides Mark is a big enough loser to be an internet janitor for an entire decade.

>>8155 >people like /v/ but not the BO. I don't like either of those.

redchannit.org is giving an >Invalid SSL certificate error speaking of this, I've been meaning to ask. Have you sat down to think about how the new tor measures impact the site's backup plans?

So, felbot's going insane in the /v/ meta thread, deleting posts and handing out unnecessarily long bans for pointing out his general incompetence and generally questioning his decisions. I already waiting a day for the first ban to expire without saying anything, but i'm not gonna wait ten for his current one to fade away without raising a complaint over it. Please remove his power and maybe also him from the mortal coil.

>>8167 Felbot is such a fucking retard

>>8168 He's also a desperate sex addicted alcoholic faggot with STD's

>>8155 There were numerous exodus boards made in response to Mark's shitty board moderation during 8chan Prime and these took off quite well, you had /v2/, /justvideogames/ and the most well-known being /svidya/. It would never work because the community of this site is small that you'd maybe get 10 UIPs at best.

>>8170 Is it THAT small? After Mark made it clear he welcomes any 4channer that can "behave himself", I've noticed a heavy uptick in cuckchan crossposting, right up to mocking the regulars with their lingo and posting soyjaks casually like it was nothing. It might just come down to the oldguard leaving or screaming at the mods all day while a whole new brand of users comes in and overtakes them completely, all while Mark just sits back and lets it happen for obvious reasons

>>8171 >Is it THAT small Yes. One look at the daily graph tells you all you need to know.

I gotta ask, why is the site in GMT time instead of murrican?

>>8173 The site is not only for americans

>>8177 Why would a site predominently used by North Americans and made by Americans be in Euro time?

Despite the fact this website is mostly used as a dumping ground for GARBAGE... it's actually still the best futaba imageboard on a technical level so good work for those who have done everything. And maybe the Spanish occupation will even end soon. Or is it a colonisation I don't know, me and my Incan friend had our lamas stolen by these foreigners.

Did you guys do something to get delisted from Google again...

>>8188 What the fuck does that have to do with this thread? Are you new or some shit? Every single time the mods do some stupid disagreeable shit on /v/ herdniggers raid the board to try and take advantage of the legitimate grievances some anons have to shit-stir. This has literally been happening since before 8moe even had its domain name. It happened on vch, it happened on 8kun, it happened on original 8chan, it happened on fucking fatchan. None of this is new. And none if it takes away from the fact that Mark and his mods routinely do stupid shit.

https://www.8chan.moe should redirect to https://8chan.moe it's currently broken

Hey Codexx, in June 1st will be the one year anniversary of the closing of hispachan.org, do you plan to put the CSS of >>>/hispachan/ or >>>/hisparefugio/ as global to commemorate the occasion?

>>8192 If you do some global spic shit I will commit 9/11 on this site.

How do I change my board from sfw to nsfw? I want to change my board to nsfw for a couple of days as an event.

>>8187 We're not delisted, because I can search directly and we do show up. They probably tweaked their algorithm again. The archive version shows up on DDG for your search. Let me look into it and see if there's anything we can do. >>8192 We have quite a few global CSS themes that were cloned from HispaChan so there's no shortage of options. I will try to remember to set a global theme this evening.

The change in CSS has been pretty unpopular on my board. Is there any way to make global CSS changes include an "okay, I've seen it, now put things back how they were before" option?

>>8192 Is this whats happening now? I don't mind if it only happen for 1 week but gotta inform my board >>8194 iirc email whoever grant you access to become BO in the first place. 2 weeks response time

>>8197 Individual users can select any theme they want from the dropdown at the top of the page. You can also upload the Yotsuba B CSS as custom CSS for your board if you'd like to override it there. >>8198 It is what's happening. It will only last about 24 hours. We also usually run the Vivian theme at the end of August in commemoration of GamerGate, and there's some birthday CSS we put up in late October. Currently those are the only three "event" themes.

>>8197 >>8199 Okay, after doing some testing, it seems like there's a bug in the theme JS that is improperly handling the case where a user has selected a new theme but there is both a global holiday theme and custom JS. Not sure how that slipped past. I'm going to undo the global CSS for the time being and see if we can't hotfix that one. Apologies to the hispas for cutting the even short.

>>8200 Thanks for looking into it. Usually with a new theme people laugh and either switch back to normal or get into the spirit of things and stick with it for the duration, but this time it wasn't an option and it raised a few hackles. My lads just really don't like change, bless them.

>>8201 Fucking with the default theme literally ALWAYS every single time without fail does nothing but piss people off. It's the most retarded nigger shit and every single time this retard does it there's some bug that makes it fucking impossible to even turn it off. I had to set fucking uBlock rules to block his gay nigger aids last time. How about you just don't do stupid spic meme themes faggot

>>8206 huh, it does, neat

Any word on when Tor users can post files again? This is becoming increasingly frustrating.

>>8209 It would be nice to be able to make threads again or post content. I'm basically just back to lurking, with occasional coments, at this point.

>>8210 The last time file uploads were enabled for Tor, a faggot used it as an opportunity to spam /v/ with hundreds of child models and CP.

>>8211 Isn't that what this new cookie tracking thing suppose to fix?

>>8208 I was just coming in here to check on that. We're halfway through the year...

Is there a reason that the spoiler tags have to be on the same line? Block spoilers would be nice.

>>8217 That's not how you make spoilers, you fucking retard.

>>8218 That is how you make spoilers. [spoiler] It just doesn't work like this. [/spoiler] [spoiler]Test Test[/spoiler]

>>8219 It's not that hard to just do *​*this*​* for each line break.

>>8220 But why is the software this retarded to begin with? Maybe there's an issue with the CSS, but I don't write CSS and wouldn't know. I don't see why the span tags in the resulting html couldn't span multiple lines. In fact, if I modify the page, it appears to work.

>>8221 Actually, I found it. Lynxchan processes the markdown tags in a post line-by-line. I don't know why. Possibly to limit the size of each regex search? https://gitgud.io/LynxChan/LynxChan/-/blob/master/src/be/engine/postingOps/common.js#L465

>>8216 I get the distinct impression that we are never going to get the functionality back. Not until someone launches another attack against the site that forces us off of clearnet again. Then the admins will remember how important Tor functionality is. It's really unfun posting on am imageboard in text only mode. You can't really participate in any board OC making activities. You can't really deeply engage in discussions because you you'll go >I'll just post some relevant thing I have saved relating to this conversation <OH WAIT I CAN'T! You can't make threads either on most boards because you have to include an image during thread creation. It's basically a quarter step up from just lurking.

We're working on bringing back Tor images. I'd have to ask Acid for a full list, but I'm pretty sure getting websockets working and some frontend server upgrades are both on the list of prerequisites. This will help minimize impact to users if CP is being spammed. We're really sorry for the delays. Life has been shitting on both Acid and I for some months now. I know for a fact he's been sick all weekend and still doesn't have hot water. We just want to be sure we're not making more work for Globals without giving them tools to combat it. Maybe he'd be open to scheduling file posting for Tor during set hours of the day when we have the most moderators available. That might be an acceptable stopgap until we can make the necessary upgrades.

>>8224 Whenever you can find time for it to answer, I sent an email asking about whether boards having custom javascript is still a feature for board owners to have uploaded. But after looking around on other boards, I have to assume this was revoked and I missed out on some news.

>>8225 It's available upon request. We have it limited so BOs are clear on what the rules are. If a BO is caught using custom JS to harm users to attack the site, then their privileges will be removed. The JS must not be obfuscated and you may not redirect users offsite, send any data offsite, attempt to deanonymize any users, nor attempt to view a user's browser data. If you're fine with all of that then e-mail me again with the name of the board you'd like custom JS on and I can enable it.

>>8224 Tor images matters a lot less to me than tor posting. The fact you find the time to apologize for that when tor itself was entirely fucked for months and barely said anything about it is hilarious.

>>8226 Alright, e-mail sent.

>>8227 Please understand it was a combination of not knowing when we'd have a good solution combined with not wanting to announce when it would be open season to spam. We didn't want to schedule Tor posting windows daily if we could help it. With TABS the situation is a bit different. I'm sorry for the lack to communication during that time. We like to be transparent but not when it risks making the problem worse.

>>8224 I appreciate that you are having difficulties and are under duress from a hand full of persistent and malicious spammers, but at the same time it is very frustrating. >Maybe he'd be open to scheduling file posting for Tor during set hours of the day when we have the most moderators available. That might be an acceptable stopgap until we can make the necessary upgrades. That might be a nice compromise until you can get things sorted out. > the most moderators available And also when the spammers are less likely to be active. They have to sleep some time and their spam isn't all bot managed either. Sorry that Acid is sick.

>>8229 >We like to be transparent but not when it risks making the problem worse. Why is my thread still locked then? I check back every day for that and for TOR file posting.

Hi, I'm /ac/'s owner, could you please make my board SFW again? thanks in advance.

>>8220 That would be different, as each spoiler would uncover separately. It's also unintuitive and unnecessary. >>8223 >Not until someone launches another attack against the site that forces us off of clearnet again I've been saying this for some time. It's pretty surprising how the stance has changed. >>8224 >Life has been shitting on both Acid and I for some months now. I know for a fact he's been sick all weekend and still doesn't have hot water Oh, yeah. Forgot he has also dealt with some pretty serious health issues. It's been a shit journey for us tor posters and I fucking hated not being able to even post for so long, but I hope you fags get well. >Maybe he'd be open to scheduling file posting for Tor during set hours of the day when we have the most moderators available. That might be an acceptable stopgap until we can make the necessary upgrades. Maybe TABS could be tweaked with an added 'intermediate' security level to recognize when a bypass is trusted in order to allow that torfag to post images. After all, if shit hits the fan and you enable TABS, that user (due to having a trusted bypass) would be allowed to get a new bypass and continue posting, so why not add an option to administrate image rights god that sounds fucking gay based on this as well. One cheap and dirty way to implement that would be if TABS could keep track of whether new bypasses are generated from a trusted bypass or from nothing (i.e. a new user). That way it's just about adding a simple check at the time of posting, probably very similar to what's already done now, instead of having to assess trustworthiness with every post which I imagine that wouldn't scale. This would also allow newfags to start posting even when this is active instead of being completely locked out until the next window when it's completely off. Basically in the worst case scenario it's the same situation that we're in right now (since TABS is off) but some more users would be allowed to post images, so it would be an overall improvement even if still fucking gay. This would be a temporary measure until you can finish working on your 5d spam combat strategies.

>>8233 We have to be a little careful in how we expand on TABS. The way its set up now it uses next to nothing in terms of resources. But if we expand its capabilities too much, or in the wrong ways, then it could become an attack surface for DDoS attacks as each "oldfag check" would use too much CPU power or too many database queries. It was deliberately built very light on overhead to make sure that didn't happen. We have room to add a little bit of functionality to it still, but we want to be careful and conservative about it. To add: This isn't really a big secret and anons are kinda asking around it, so here's the plan that I have in mind to upgrade the site's frontends. I want to replace the main frontend for .moe with a much more powerful server. One almost on par with the main backend. That server will use aggressive frontend caching to eliminate network latency in downloading and viewing files, but that's only the casual reason. The main reason is that I want it running an nginx daemon out in front of the caching engine that will handle both the websocket translation (fixing websockets) and a bot/scraper/DDoS detection page. This was something I had in mind for a long time, and if you've followed what Jewsh has been doing on Kiwifarms, his "kiwiflare" thing is almost verbatim the same idea. Except he missed one key part of it that I think I can do better. So the new frontend will be running two servers on it, and is meant to be highly DDoS resistant, so it needs CPU power and lots of memory to handle filtering for any kind of big attack. If we combine this system with the host CDN, we should have DDoS protection pretty comparable to what we had through Cloudflare before, only we will have full control over it. That not to say the host is bad at it - they've covered us from 3 or 4 significant DDoS attacks and done well, but they haven't been tested by a huge one yet and we've learned our lesson about leaving the site's fate in any service provider's hands.

>>8235 >as each "oldfag check" would use too much CPU power or too many database queries Right, perhaps you have a more complete view of what it would take since you're familiar with the software and I'm not but just to clarify, my idea was basically to add another column to whatever table stores the bypasses, which would be a boolean populated at the time of creating a bypass to signal whether a bypass was 'renewed', that is, generated from a trusted bypass. The bypass renew function must already know whether it's renewing a trusted bypass so populating that new column would be trivial. None of this so far would require any significant amount of new resources. Then at the time of posting, there must already be a bypass validation function which queries the previously mentioned table. it would just need to grab the new column but otherwise wouldn't change the cost of the query, so again, it wouldn't require any significant amount of new resources. This would need to be compared with the TABS security level, which I'm sure you can do without requiring a new query, probably using the same mechanism you're already using to update it in the bypass renew function. >I want to replace the main frontend for .moe with a much more powerful server That whole plan sounds like it'd take quite a bit of time, please see if you could prioritize the websockets so that we can have images again. It's fucking frustrating.

1) Is Redchannit permanently down? 2) Would you consider having a tirtiary domain name that doesn't use the 8chan brand? I ask this as I keep getting wordfiltered whenever I want to invite interesting people over here.

>>8237 >Would you consider having a tirtiary domain name that doesn't use the 8chan brand? but if they didn't trick people into thinking this is 8chan when its not like jim did for years then how on earth would they get anyone interested?

>>8237 https://redchannit.org/ works Speaking of: I don't know if it's supposed to work like this or not, but I cannot hotlink boards using redchannit. i.e. if type https://redchannit.org/v/ I am not redirected to /v/, but rather to 8chan's homepage. Could you fix this? And another thing, the captcha over /site/'s inner message box is fucked, it either gets stuck at 0 or refuses to accept any input.

>>8237 >2) Would you consider having a tirtiary domain name that doesn't use the 8chan brand? I ask this as I keep getting wordfiltered whenever I want to invite interesting people over here. THIS >>8239 Seconding the captcha thing also, please just use a single font rather than all of these weird ones, it's almost impossible to solve sometimes.

>>8237 >>8240 It's hilarious how much the 8chan name has only served to make this place harder to grow. Killing your community to own a retarded pig farmer that doesn't even know or care that you exist. What an epic pwnage.

>>8239 >the captcha over /site/'s inner message box is fucked, it either gets stuck at 0 or refuses to accept any input Check that the time on your PC or phone is the same as the time in your region on the internet. Lynxchan's captcha requires both times to be synchronised for the counter to work correctly, otherwise it will only give you a few seconds per captcha or it will mark any attempt as invalid. >>8240 >lease just use a single font rather than all of these weird ones The captcha uses different fonts to make it difficult for trained bots and pajeets to solve it.

niggers hurry up and make tor access functional for fuck sakes stop shitting your pants and cumming in your asshole whenever you see someone using tor

I think bans and how they work should be tweaked a bit. Acid should implement a hybrid feature or some js code where (if) a setting is ticked, you can see the board ban log analytics and reasons (for example /v/) in realtime for each 8chan boards own meta thread, without needing to open the log as its own page; as optional posts showing each new ban will be created automatically as the bans happen in real time. Think of this as a way to allow all 8chan boards the option of being more intentional with transparency and reports. This will demonstrate that they are confident in their jobs as moderators and can be willing to enable the system for further trust with their userbase. Thus, bridging the gap between moderation and anons, the most important reason for that feature is to establish good relations between mods and their anons, bans will not stop bad actors from being able to post outside a meta thread sure, but it could give rule abiding anons a chance to express themselves in good faith. Communication through an appeal is not good enough, lock the feature into text only mode if you need, so CP isn't spammed, but allow them to post their grievances in detail if feature enabled, implementing a 1 minute wait window for each new banned anon posting on the meta thread, as that sounds to be a good failsafe as well to prevent spam, setting expiry dates for each post is also another idea. I dunno, I just want this realized somehow. Good idea? Stupid idea? Let me know anons, your brutal honesty is always appreciated.

>>8245 >people should click the reply thread button instead of the logs button to see the logs Utterly fucking pointless to the point of being literal bloat.

>>8246 Merge meta threads and the board log to function in one page then, seems arbitraty to keep the two things separate when they are about the same thing, it'll be efficient instead of bloated.

>>8248 That would not be efficient, it would be nonsensical. Not every board is going to have a meta thread. Not every board owner is going to want a meta thread. The way the logs currently work is perfectly fine. There are about a million more important things those retards need to spend time developing.

>>8245 You are a fucking retard.

>>8250 This, just IP hop, the mods don't give a fuck about the anons they ban.

>>8245 This isn't really feasible. How would the engine know which thread is the meta thread for the board? How is a post in the meta thread any more informative than the logs? I do think the logs could be more complete, or at least easier to parse. I'm happy to take suggestions for a better log format or a way to increase transparency then I can work on that, but it needs to integrate well with how the backend operates.

I'd like to get >>>/fa/ whitelisted as a SFW board. How should I go about doing that?

8chan.se and 8chan.cc are both returning "Error 503 Backend fetch failed".

>>8254 Can you capcode on /fa/ stating you want it to be SFW? You can delete the post afterwards. Alternatively you can e-mail me at codexx [at] cock [dot] li from the address tied to your account. The toggle is by request, we just have to verify you're the board owner first. >>8255 .se is working for me. .cc is down and we're not sure when it will return because the resources used for it are being used to bolster other parts of our network.

>>8256 Done. Check the sticky.

>>8257 Your board has been marked SFW.

I need something explained: PPH is self explanatory, it's just how many posts are being made in the last hour. But what about Users? Does it count the amount of posts in a day or the amount of people who clicked on the board?

>fail a block bypass captcha <it automatically refreshes and lets your fill another out instantly >fail a report captcha <doesn't refresh automatically, blocks you from filling out another one for 10 seconds The fact reporting is so hostile to the user is destructive to the website. It's been years and this shit still hasn't been fixed. Stop making the moderation process like pulling fucking teeth.

>>5423 I was looking at the logs of /hispachan/ and discovered that Codexx is now the owner of the board. I don't care who takes charge, but I only request the following: 1. Make the meta thread (>>>/hispachan/123184) cyclic so that others can continue posting there normally. 2. Edit the aforementioned meta thread clarifying that most anons are now in >>>/hisparefugio/. I've seen a few people who don't know how to use the chan, not even to check the boards list, and they believe that the drop in activity is because the others moved to another chan or some bullshit like that, so it would not hurt to make that clear (and if possible, that the text is highlighted in some way). If you consider it necessary, you can also add the reasons why you now manage the board. 3. Remove the following lines from the default CSS: #navTopBoardsSpan { display: none; } #navTopBoardsSpan span {visibility:hidden;} #navBoardsSpan {visibility:hidden;} Context: When NegaZeta noticed that >>>/hisparefugio/ began to have a considerable activity, the asshole's anus flared up and he had no better idea than to hide the list of boards from the top bar in a pathetic and desperate attempt to avoid user leakage (believe it or not, there seems to be hispachaners who are too lazy and/or stupid to change the default theme). 4. Disable the filter that changes hisparefugio to hispachan. The reason why he put that shit is the same as the previous point. I don't know if there are other filters besides that one (and the global ones), but if so, I could tell you if it is worth keeping them. 5. Deactivate the "maximum bump age". With the slowness of the board, it is harmful to continue maintaining that limit. 6. Recategorize the board as NSFW, since there is always a subnormal who uploads an image or video of that type without spoiler (either accidentally or on purpose). That should be enough to fix all the whole shitty mess that NegaZeta left before he went to buy cigarettes and disappear until someone comes along who wants to take over the board (assuming it will be transferred to someone in the future).

>>8264 I took over the board only as an intermediary step to process the claims received for the board, in hopes of discouraging further claim requests. After speaking with all claimants, the board will be liquidated and its threads moved to various other boards, with refugio chief among them. A post will be made on the board shortly detailing the plan and directing users to refugio. I will reset the custom CSS to one of the global defaults. Everything else is a bit redundant since the board will be locked soon.

>>8259 It's the amount of unique IPs that posted on the board in a certain interval of time.

Could you leave >>>/hispachan/ open for a couple more days? I would like to comment some things in the pinned thread, in addition to posting in other threads that surely will not be transferred to >>>/hisparefugio/ due to their "old age".

>>8268 Okay. A couple more days won't hurt anything.

>>8269 Thank you very much, and from what I understand later the board will remain as read-only along with the threads that could not be moved to other boards like a museum, is that correct?

>>8270 Correct. I do not like deleting content, and deleting the board would just wipe it out needlessly and then leave the board name up for claims to whoever makes it first. If any of the other boards would like a thread then their board owners are encouraged to reach out and request a transfer. I will leave the meta post pinned to the top with links to refugio. I have also altered the banner. Hopefully that makes it clear to anyone wandering in late that the community can be found at refugio. I don't want to lose any stragglers in the shuffle.

If at all possible, could you start deleting some dead, 0-posts boards that have also been abandoned by their creators? More specifically: /4/ - Kiedy 3 to za mało *Abandoned* /lfd/ - Lainforo Development *Abandoned* /c9f9e9f2/ - c9f9e9f2 *Abandoned* /bp/ - Based Pill Chan *Abandoned* /nedernatsoc/ - nedernatsoc *Abandoned* /vichansoftware/ - Vichan Development Information *Abandoned* /bakemono/ - bakemono *Abandoned* /ilpazz5d5f4f89ff21f1d2d5/ - ilpazz *Abandoned* /fsjdfziunbfliznbcfkznmizomiskmfk/ - test *Abandoned* /lamps/ - Lempsi *Abandoned* /andrutorrez/ - andrutorrez *Abandoned* /4/ - Kiedy 3 to za mało *Abandoned* /peepingtom/ - peeping tom *Abandoned* /ml/ - Machine Learning *Abandoned*

Question. Is /hispachan/ still available for claiming? I have an idea to put it to good use for "negros" instead leaving dead, taking advantage of its popularity without dividing the community or competing with /hisparefugio/, now that I was able to confirm my account.

>>8274 There are three claimaints in front of you and, per my discussions, it's looking like the BO of refugio is going to take custodianship of it for the sake of holding onto it. If you'd like to propose a plan and they're okay with it being unlocked and handed over to you then I can facilitate that, but right now the plan is to turn it into an archive. >>8273 We've discussed doing it for years and just haven't gotten around to it. I think abandoned + 0 posts is clearly okay, so I'll try to go through this weekend and clear them out. We'll probably delete some long-abandoned boards with a handful of posts at some point. We just never nailed down how few posts a board can have to be up for deletion.

good morning sirs. how do i renew my account of 8chan extremity?

>>8276 You must redeem the extreme.

>>8277 >>8276 good morning sers, i am from india my village in bombay not have any food to eat if i buy extremity plz sirs how can i get for free??? i cannot redeem sers or else i have no foods to eat for me and my village

The .moe domain is down apparently. But .se is still working.

Where did /2dblacked go? Also, could you re-open it for a couple days or something?

>>8280 Looks like the BO quit and gave the board to someone who tricked him and just deleted it. Get owned.

Compiling stuff that came from several discussions over /v/: 1) Implement a secondary domain name for 8chan that has NO BEARING on the 8chan brand example of names: Infinitychan, Fullchan, 4plus4chan or whatever that specifically contains only SFW frontpage, overboard and boards, in a similar manner to what 4chan does with its SFW frontend. Make it so it can also be searched off of Google, unlike current 8chan, and appending the name of a NSFW board automatically redirects you to 8chan proper; 2) Prevent users from deleting their own boards - whenever they hit the Delete Board button, they're booted out of their administrative page and the board is put on Probation - to let users download whatever content was left on it. If no one comes forward to request ownership of the abandoned board, then it gets deleted. This is to prevent situations where a malicious user grabs ownership of a board just to delete it all, which I guess can still happen by manual deletion of each thread, but with the proper autism you can always restore deleted threads; 3) Reintroduce site-wide advertising, i.e. the Board Hunger Games from 8kun, in order to give visibility to niche boards who wish to participate; 4) Rework boards visibility: when an user is browsing a SFW board like /v/ or /hisrol/, do not list NSFW boards on their board list. Whenever an user is browsing NSFW boards, list all of the top boards on the site. Make this something that an individual user can toggle on or off, so that less squeamish users can just see the top boards list as it currently is; 5) Instead of keeping around dozens of dead boards, delete any board that: - Has been around for a month from its board creation with 0 TOTAL posts (as in, the user created it and then left it like that). OR - Has been abandoned for a few months without a single new post (obviously, before deleting it, advertise it for a week asking for a new board owner, so if someone is interested in its content can still scrape it or even revitalize it) This would already cull the total number of available boards quite a bit, letting new users create new boards for their preferred topic and clearing some much needed resources; 6) Implement language filtering: when a new user connects to the website, whether it's from the home page or the board he's browsing, he should be able to toggle between International boards (the site as it is now) and picking the specific language of the boards he's interested in - this would prevent the huge amount of Spanish boards clogging up your feed on the home page and overboard when you do not speak the language, similarly Latin American anons who don't care about the main English boards can live off in their own microcosm. Additionally, you could use location data for the connecting user to automatically load their specific language pack - again, letting users toggle whether they want the English website or a specific language. You could even put this info on the Splashscreen, so other than just clicking on the I Accept The Risk link they also get to choose how they load the board's language. Defaults to English of course. Please, reply to this message. We sorely need new blood to keep the site working, and the lack of visibility is killing it.

Whatever happened to the page a thread is on being displayed within the thread right by the post count/UID count/file count stats?

>>8282 >1) Implement a secondary domain name for 8chan that has NO BEARING on the 8chan brand example of names: Infinitychan, Fullchan, 4plus4chan or whatever that specifically contains only SFW frontpage, overboard and boards, in a similar manner to what 4chan does with its SFW frontend.

If the site was a lot more active it would be easier to do that. >Please, reply to this message. We sorely need new blood to keep the site working, and the lack of visibility is killing it. I mean all anyone would say is "we're working on stuff". I've made similar suggestions for the site years ago that still have yet to be implemented. I requested basic word blocking to StephenLynx directly like the first month this site went up and it still doesn't exist. The development of features is completely dependent on an unhinged hue monkey tranny. I don't think Codexx or Acid push any code that is related to core site functionality.

>>8281 >>8280 Even if this were true a backup still exists. Could you reup /2dblacked for a couple days? Please and thank you.

You niggers, with addition of "accept the site rules goy" crap you fucked my browsers shit up, it doesn't work in Firefox 115 unless I either create new profile or delete browser cache which is =ALL WEBSITES-WIDE= deleting only 8chan cookies/ctrl+f5 doesn't help I aint doing that, fix your shit ass code https://streamable.com/by863n

>try to create thread through Tor >fail captcha a few times >FLOOD DETECTED >come back later and try to post again >NOT ALLOWED TO POST FILES THROUGH TOR >ok, remove the file then >THREADS NEED AT LEAST 1 FILE What the fuck is this cancer?

>>8269 I think you can close /hispachan/ now.

>>8280 >>8286 Fuck off to sturdychan, nigger.

>>8288 I think the BO's determine whether or not thread creation requires a file. So you could ask the BO to let threads without files be made.

>>8288 I think a message for the thread opening form would be useful. IIRC 8prime noticed if the thread required a file before sending the request.

add support for .jxl and .avif thanks

Could you possibly change the PPH-Users data on the Boards List page, as it's kind of misleading? I'd rather you showed PPH, renamed Users to Posts Per Day (since that's what the actual data is tracking) and, if at all possible, add Users as the amount of different IPs browsing that particular board.

>>8296 This but I'd rather have Posts Per Day or Posts Per Week instead, since the board is pretty slow most of the time, so most boards display a dead zero almost every time.

Hello, could we get the board /fanfic/ to be whitelisted as a Safe For Work board?

>>8224 So when's the ETA on this? >>8288 It's so fucking frustrating. >>8293 Well that option should be changed globally right now, for as long As Tor posters can't post files.

>>8300 there is no global setting to change. Its a BO decision. You should ask the BO of the board your using to change it.

>>8301 >there is no global setting to change Well maybe there should be one since disabling Tor file posting conflicts with that and causes unintended behavior in that Tor posters can't post create threads now.

>>8303 Why should a BO be forced to let people make text only threads if he doesn't want them on his board? That's retarded.

>>8304 Well now Tor posters cant make threads at all on most boards. That's pretty retarded too.

>>8307 If the BO agrees with your issue then he can simply change the setting. If the BO doesn't want TOR posters being able to make threads then he can leave it the way it is. BO's should have ultimate agency over their boards.

>>>/v/859208 Post collapsing/expansion shits the bed when it involves code blocks.

I didn't get a reply via tor in the /v/ meta thread for half a day so i'll bring it up here: Fuckbitch banned me for three days for fucking nothing, and then he got so assblasted he went and banned me again and deleted a bunch of shit in the old GG thread, none of which i can screencap since i closed it already. Please violently massacre him, for the good of us all.

>>8313 This is probably why

>>8314 Felbot REALLY doesn't like zzzchan

>>8314 None of that's me, my man, i'm a single IP clearnet good boy, which is why bans piss me off so much. Hell, i got a (9) [now (10)] on this thread from previous complaints about fuckboi. Unless you mean 'mods flip out and ban unnecessarily', in which case that makes them shitty mods and they shouldn't be mods no more. Par for the course with tubby talmud, but still.

>>8316 So then you're good. Just evade the ban and stop bitching about it.

>>8315 To be fair, he only bans them when they try to start board wars.
