>>9380 Based on its behavior, the entity that we've taken to calling "The CP link bot" seems to target boards that are A: in the topbar, and B: ones where their very first post received a slow or sluggish reaction time from mods. They used to hit /v/ too, but its too active these days and users too quick to report so it eventually gave up there. Now we see it mostly on /vore1/, the top two hispa boards, and /tkr/. Its been an active subject of discussion and globals are making an effort to be faster about actively sweeping the boards and not *primarily* waiting for reports like was once the SOP. In response the bot's operator has been hitting the site much more often lately, in what we think is a desperate scramble to try and keep his posts visible on the site towards whatever payday these niggers expect to earn from it. Our reaction to them is pic related. Edit: For those who don't know, there's a site that actually tracks these bots around the Internet. Here's the tracking page for the one that hits us all the time: https://xj9k.neocities.org/posts/cp2/ As you can see, he's a busy little fucker.

If I open a thread then hit stop while the thread not finished loading all of thread’s thumbnail, the thread show “Could not reload capctha” and don’t let me post. I can see the bottom of the thread so it is not like the thread itself that didn’t load. Expected behaviour: I should be able to post, as the board is without captcha. It shouldn’t be required to load all thread pics.

This is a locked thread for archiving the causes and outcomes of corner case rulings vis-a-vis the site's Global Rules. It may be cited as an explanation for rules and policies. The Global Rules page is the "what", this thread will archive the "why" and the "how" for specific instances.

Ruling15: Doxing While the posting of public personal information is not explicitly forbidden by the Global Rules, we do put limitations on what can be posted or requested in order to prevent such activity from causing the site legal trouble. Additionally the doxing of site staff, board owners, and volunteers is prohibited as "harm to the site" under Global Rule 4. We broadly divide doxing into two categories: Hard dox and soft dox. Hard dox is forbidden sitewide under Global Rules 1 and 4, and includes the following types of materials: *Any personal information of someone under 18 years old *Medical records or other HIPAA-protected information *Driver's License information *Passport information *Social Security Numbers or their equivalents *Non-public financial information such as bank account numbers, crypto account numbers, or credit card information *Passwords *Unlisted, private phone numbers *Unlisted physical addresses *Personal identifying information of employers, friends, or family members who are not otherwise notable or public persons themselves *Any other personal material that was obviously acquired through an invasion of legal privacy rights

Ruling16: TABS - Trusted Anonymous Bypass System, or "TAB System" When the site comes under heavy attack by spammers, the TABS system may be temporarily activated by Admins or Global Moderators. TABS has the effect of screening users that attempt to post, and blocking those that are most likely to be spammers with a "Bypass Denied" error. When TABS is activated, new users and suspicious users will be blocked from making posts, but regular users can still post provided that they do not delete or clear the 8chan "bypass" cookie in their browser. TABS reads this cookie and checks its site metrics in Lynxchan to quickly determine if the user is trustworthy, and if the cookie is missing the user will be blocked until TABS is turned off again. The bypass cookie has the dual properties of being both anonymous and unique, and TABS does not key off of any other user identifying information. This makes it equally effective on TOR or VPN users, and allows us to screen posting without compromising any user's privacy. It is strongly recommended that you go into your browser settings and exempt your preferred "8chan" domain from having its cookies automatically cleared. >Why? Spammers have demonstrated that they're able to circumvent the Proof of Work captcha system by using paid captcha-cracking services to enable multiple, rotating connections to the site. This "queuing up" sort of spam attack can be scaled against the POW system to render it ineffective at stopping spam, and the TAB System was developed to provide a solution. Unlike POW, TABS is not an admin-only tool and can be enabled or disabled by any member of the Global Staff to improve reaction times against major attacks.

Board Owner Support and Migration Requests Codexx Root 12/13/2020 (Sun) 05:27:09 Id: abfacc No. 1651 [Reply] [Last]

This thread is for Board Owners to get support for running their boards. How do I create a board? First, you should see if the board you want to create already exists. Some boards may be marked abandoned, in which case you can put in a board claim. If the board doesn't exist, you can create one yourself. Create an account or log-in by visiting the lightning bolt symbol next to the CSS dropdown at the top of the page. Once there, make sure you have a verified e-mail address. Then, you can scroll to the bottom of the page and find the board creation section. Enter the URI, name, and a description. After you fill out the captcha and submit, you'll have your very own board. How do I claim an existing board? A board will be marked abandoned if the Board Owner has not logged in for a few weeks. Sometimes, this indicates they've gone missing. If the BO cannot be reached then we will hand the board over to a willing replacement. We recommend sending an e-mail to the administration address of 8moeadmin@protonmail.com. Please include your username on the site and the board you are requesting. How do I create custom CSS? There is an upload field on the board settings page for custom CSS. Upload your file there. Custom board assets such as background images, mascots, icons, music, etc should be posted in the appropriate thread on >>>/res/. This board is for board assets only. This way, you don't need to clutter your board with a pinned asset, or worry an uploaded image will fall off the site. How do I create custom JavaScript? This feature is currently disabled. Soon, you'll be able to request custom JS be activated for your board. You can leave that request here.

>>9290 >image limit This can be set per-post with the "Maximum number of files per post" option. You can reduce the number of posts in a thread by setting "bump limit". Additionally, there is the [Last] button on posts, which just loads the latest 50. This helps a lot for users on toasters trying to click extra-large threads.

This is the official support thread for https://8chan.tv/ What is this site? A place for anons to stream anything they'd like. You can stream any video you'd like, and users can join chat anonymously. Streams can also be embedded elsewhere for easy sharing. Chat is built around XMPP, so you can connect with any Jabber client. Streams are generic RTMP streams, so you can connect and view them directly. For example, you can watch a stream in VLC instead of on the website. What can't it do? The site supports uploading videos and storing clips, but these features are currently disabled. If there's strong interest, I can make it available, but I'd need a way to pay for storage space. Why should I use this? The goal is to provide anons with an easy, convenient way to get a media stream. Other sites actively police uploads to enforce "community guidelines". It can be inconvenient to share some media as a result. The site isn't working well! Leave a reply here describing the problem. If you're having performance issues, I can help diagnose. If the site is being used heavily and begins to struggle, I can download more RAM to make it go faster.

>>9110 Having the Local Times option enabled in the settings, the dates of some posts are displayed as NaN/NaN/NaN (undefined) NaN:NaN:NaN in Spanish boards like >>>/hisparefugio/. I think modifying setLocalTime() in posting.js in this way should solve it provisionally.:

posting.setLocalTime = function(time) {

  var parsedDate = new Date(time.innerText + ' UTC');
  if(isNaN(parsedDate)) { // If this condition is met, we assume that the date is in Spanish
    parsedDate = new Date(time.innerText.replace(/^(\d\d)\/(\d\d)(.+)/g, "$2/$1$3") + ' UTC');
  }
  time.innerText = api.formatDateToDisplay(parsedDate, true);
    
};

But I think it doesn't work very well with some dates. As already reported in >>9244 and >>>/hisparefugio/155421 the "Relative Times" option doesn't work either. In the meantime the local times can be fixed by disabling the homonymous option, pasting the above code in Settings > JS (changing posting.setLocalTime to setLocalTime to make it work) and add this below to run the function every time that the page loads:

var createdTimes = document.querySelectorAll(".labelCreated");
for (var i = 0; i<createdTimes.length; i++) {

>>7844 One way to avoid (or at least mitigate) unreadable captchas like those of >>8252, >>8505 and >>8757 would be to keep a record of each captcha that the user fails to complete, where each one could be saved as a JSON with a structure like this:

{
    "image": String (path to the original captcha or the base64 encoded image)
    "attempts": Array (all failed attempts of the user at the time of guessing the captcha)
    "font": String  (name of the font file that was used to generate the captcha)
    "answer": String (correct captcha answer)
    "parameters": String (additional parameters that were used to generate the captcha)
}

That way it should be easier for programmers to eliminate fonts that cause a lot of problems or adjust others that have similar letters/numbers (like 6 or b).
