[Request] Replace the Board List with the Webring Menu Anonymous 01/13/2021 (Wed) 03:58:58 Id: 487115 No. 1880 [Reply]
8chan.moe's boards page sucks all kinds of ass >Search is broken >Sometimes 404s for no reason (I think because of a caching issue) >No way of ungrouping boards from sites >Looks ugly as hell >Hidden behind a nondescript sandwich icon which links to a new page, instead of just being a list on the topbar Can't it be replaced by the plugin used by most of the other sites on the webring, either the popup menu or the dropdown one? They're both vastly superior to this. Thanks.

Do you need help with it? I would reimplement it as just a separate webring.html page that is served statically and updated once a minute.
The Webring List is gone.

Since you faggots (Cakekike and Acid) are already prone to degenerate social media shit-posting, I figure it's time to put those normalnigger proclivities to use and attempt to generate activity in a minimally intrusive manner. This ought to be done through utilizing the various social networks and platforms that have been developed and grown over the recent years, such as federated pleroma/mastodon instances like shitposter.club, peertube, and decentralized LBRY video hosting either through the odyssey platform or desktop application. >the fuck would you even post to these places to generate activity An "official" pleroma 8moe account could post every time a new site update occurs, or the result of hunger game events for boards. Hypothetically it could even be configured to make an announcement every time a new board is created, but that's probably a bad idea considering this site has zero curation on board creation and announcing [Insert pedonigger board here] is god awful optics. Regardless the objective is to generate discussion and discovery about the site in a way that attracts new users that are less likely to be completely cancerous faggots. And by consistently "advertising" the site on platforms that are generally used by autistic individuals to begin with you can maximize the quality of users attracted. Advertising the site on places like twitter and reddit is met with disdain for good reason, the kind of retard using these sites is not the kind of person anyone here wants to interact with. But if the advertising campaign is focused exclusively on platforms that align more closely with the ideals of an imageboard user, privacy, security, anonymity, decentralization/federation, it'll increase site activity while inviting users that are most likely to conform to the existing culture. Anons should discuss which platforms are acceptable, and how they should best be used. A pleroma instance, shitposter.club for example, could be used for site updates, hunger game announcements, and things like that. Maybe even announcing special event threads. An LBRY account could post video content created by anons, such as game night clips or other OC related to the site. Shilling campaigns are a double edged sword, but I think if we have productive critical discussions about how best to approach it ITT we can do it right.

>>4335 >muh tor If you're so desperate you want 4cuck brand idiocy, why not go there?
How about advertising on https://poa.st ? They're fast, seemingly growing in trajectory, and full of free speech focused shitposters. Seems like a good bunch to me.
>>4613 >can't view content without signing up Gay, but any FOSS respecting project is probably fine for shilling. Generally I'd lean towards avoiding the Qnigger areas and lean more towards the autistic tech weeb areas though. We don't need more retarded /pol/ shit, we need fun interesting autists that will populate cool boards.

. Hey, you have some kind of bug in redchannit that breaks links to the .onion. I assume it is supposed to replace any .onion links with the redchannit, but it doesn't work right. And by posting a crafted link e.g. http://4usoivrpy52lmc4mgn2h34cmfiltslesthr56yttv2pxudd3dapqciyd.onion/http://onload/http://4usoivrpy52lmc4mgn2h34cmfiltslesthr56yttv2pxudd3dapqciyd.onion/ You can at least add unintended attributes like "onload" and "src" into that broken link (check the inspector on that link when browsing from redchannit). It's not too serious YET because I haven't found a way to get values in there yet, but with some fuzzing it might be possible. So I suggest you fix it :^) regards, webring friends.
(985.63 KB 884x663 smoking maid balc.png)

Sorry about that. Every once in a while redchannit will cache the onion site at the same time as the main network hiccups. If that happens (the stars align) it caches the bad fetch and breaks for a while. Should be all good now.
(24.25 KB 768x114 a.png)

>>4550 Maybe I wasn't clear; when browsing from redchannit.com, the markup for that link should not look like pic related:
>>4556 Ah, I see what you mean. That's a vestigial function of the tor2web proxy. T2W was originally designed to use a round-robin DNS to translate any onion URL you put into it, and has a subroutine that rewrites detected .onion URLs to its own domain for user's convenience. That system is disabled on redchannit's backend in favor of using the internal whitelist method, locked to the main .onion address instead. I can take a look into it to make sure it isn't actually doing anything with those parameters, but according to the main config file everything related to that system is nonfunctional.

Form inputs on this site autocomplete data that I've entered into other websites like usernames, email addresses, etc. This poses a risk to accidentally partially doxing myself. The issue is that the autocomplete attribute on form inputs is set to "none" when it should be set to "off". I had to write a userscript to add the proper attribute and now it's no longer auto-completing. It also prevents the captcha from trying to autocomplete which was really annoying.
This was a very old bug in LynxChan that we were the first site to fix. I can't imagine how it came back all of a sudden, but we'll look into it.
>>4524 Which browser do you use, and what version? We will try to replicate. >he issue is that the autocomplete attribute on form inputs is set to "none" when it should be set to "off". Unfortunately, this is not a straightforward solution. While this is how the spec says it should work, major browsers deliberately ignore this setting and will attempt to detect and autofill forms with particular names. The response from developers has been rather condescending; Chrome's team in particular feels that "users want autofill" even if a website explicitly says it should not be used somewhere.
>>4527 Latest Brave Windows 7. Like I mentioned in OP, I wrote a userscript to change the attribute and it stopped autofilling. Perhaps different browsers honor different attribute values. I am sure a user agent check could help determine which value to use.

2ch style Anonymous 11/28/2021 (Sun) 08:27:39 Id: 000000 No. 4497 [Reply]
If I make a global stylesheet for 8chan.moe that emulates the style of old 2ch.net (now 5ch.net), can it be accepted as a site style?
Short answer is yes. I love a good theme and the more choices for users the better. Longer answer is maybe. There's some criteria for being added to the dropdown, which includes ensuring the theme is usable with default site functionality (markdown functions as intended, posts highlight when selected, homepage layout is fine, etc), selecting a syntax highlighting theme that matches the theme's style and is readable, and providing an appropriate logo for the homepage. If you have a theme to submit, you can post it here on /site/, or e-mail it to the administrators. I can be reached directly at codexx (at) cock (dot) li.

Porting over 8kun's /clang/ board to 8chan Anonymous 11/03/2021 (Wed) 16:36:54 Id: 9aca40 No. 4404 [Reply]
I don't know the moderation of this site very well, but I've read that they're willing to take posts from other websites to salvage dying boards. 8kun has been steadily destroying all remaining pictures posted by users so I wish to preserve the few boards I still mingle on. I don't really own it, but I'd really like it if this place could salvage what little is left of https://8kun.top/clang/ if that is possible.
>>4404 You need to make an account, verify your e-mail, and claim the board. After that, send an e-mail to codexx (at) cock (dot) li with the request. We no longer require you be the BO of 8kun boards for an import. Unfortunately, I cannot recover the missing images, so only the test posts and what images remain will be imported.

Looking for a Few Good Men - Global Mod Recruitment Drive Anonymous Board owner 09/08/2021 (Wed) 00:53:50 Id: 2cc1af No. 3983 [Reply] [Last]
EDIT: RECRUITMENT ENDING SOON We will stop taking applications at the end of this week. If you're still considering applying, please do so soon. With the LynxChan 2.6 upgrade finished and a little bit less on our plate, we're now ready to start taking on more global volunteers. I want to lay out a bit of what you can expect: >We're looking for autists who lurk the site a lot. The more time you spend with a tab open, the better. >We're especially looking for at least 2 people in the 4am-8am America time (CST) hours. >We're looking for people who give a shit and want to help, but who aren't looking to be overbearing mods. >Globalling is low-volume but high uptime. It's easy, but being vigilant can be boring. >You need to be dependable. Everyone takes breaks, but you can't just no-show for weeks at a time. The site needs you, and you need to act like it. If these things are mostly agreeable to you, please contact us at 8moeadmin@protonmail.com with the following: >Your account name (or TBD if you don't have one yet) >IRC handle (if applicable) >Have you ever modded before? If so, for how long and on what site? You don't have to name the board if you wish to keep it private. >What your most common available hours are to do your jannying.

There won't be any repercussions because they're targeting the "bad actors", it's the same problem /v/ has had from the beginning only now it's being applied to the entire site.

Why do so many webring sites have 8chan.moe blacklisted?
>>3118 Hello, because of the pedophile board. /hebe/. You better leave this site, right away or else you'll be on a watchlist. trust me, dumbfuck.
>>3119 If you were on the original 8chan period, you're already on a watchlist, and even worse, Jim and Hotwheels both ran state of the art datamining scripts and probably gave that info for cash to both the FBI, Mossad, and probably Philippine government. Stop browsing imageboards period if you don't want to be on a watchlist or deal with glowniggers. Buy a clean chromebook, reset your ip, browse only normalfag sites like YouTube and Twitter for the rest of your life, and only brush the surface level stuff like vlogging etc. Anything more and you are compromised. Freedom or safety my friend. Pick one, and only one.

Site Meta Update Acid Board owner 05/12/2021 (Wed) 05:38:29 Id: 196953 No. 2514 [Reply] [Last]
SITE META UPDATE 5-12-2021 Well this has been a fun week. I had one of these coming down the pipe anyway since we're over a month from the last one, and considering the current headaches this seems like as good a time as any. Before I go over the usual boring stuff I'll get straight to the issue of the day: /hebe/, their content on /b/ and elsewhere on the site, free speech, and the recent waves of spam. In short, our position is this: Pedos have a right to free speech, but do not have a right to possess or share unlawful content especially on our site. Global Rule 2 has always been quite strong, in my opinion and gave the staff and BOs some leeway to use common sense when removing material or banning users who post borderline material. Leeway is good. Good faith is also good. It means when we doubt what you post, it gets removed but you don't get banned, we don't assume you're a pedo, and nothing else comes of it as long as you don't repost it. Users have a little freedom to make honest mistakes, because the law in this area is murky, grey, and largely untested (yet must be followed.) So we do the best we can. Unfortunately this leeway has been translated into ambiguity about the content allowed under Global 2, which allowed for the rise of /hebe/, the appearance of their target audience, and outsiders from places as varied as /tvch/, /cow/, anonib, and "CIA Triad Security LLC" some of whom have proceeded to cause problems sitewide on both that board and the global level for going on three days. Much of this drama is manufactured in my opinion, and our concern level is low but we owe our anons and board owners a clear response. Please direct your attention to the new, much more specific Global Rule 2. This now hard-codifies what our base restrictions are and have been, but names the particulars. BOs are free to take a harsher stance if they so choose, but these will be the guidelines for global enforcement going forward. That said: We will not be deleting or removing /hebe/ so long as they operate in accordance with the rules. If they wish to have a board purely for discussion of their preferred interests, it is not our place to judge them for that or deny them provided they are in accordance with the Global Rules and the law. Free speech means free speech. Linking or making available unlawful material is already itself unlawful, and is covered fully by Global Rule 1 already. The rest of the site meta stuff Very little to report, honestly. We have received no warrants or court orders since the last update, the hosts and server are doing well, we took on the nice little community at /hisparol/ who have made themselves at home and the site has experienced two months of steady growth. Codexx is working on further improvements for Lynxchan 2.6, and I have a server OS upgrade scheduled for sometime next month that will probably cause a day of downtime, which we will announce well in advance. If anything comes to mind that I forgot, I'll edit it into this OP. As usual this will be merged into the meta sticky after a week of visibility. Onward and upward.

>>3240 It's not child porn. Quit crying.
<Stupid text rule is gone <Something else retarded takes its place >All depictions of fictitious characters are 18+ years of age regardless of any contradicting textual description(s). AyyyLMAO. Literally fucking no one, not the law or consumers of the content, actually believes authors when they say "all characters 18", even if you are the creator, and beyond that you're not the creator, retard. Adding a statement like this is implies you have some level of authorial control over the content on this site. Not only is that patently false, since the content is user generated or taken from creators entirely outside this site, THIS IMPLIES YOU'RE A PUBLISHER/CREATOR OF THE CONTENT, NOT A PLATFORM. I strongly suggest you remove this entire sentence immediately. You still haven't fixed the line that implies conflating lolicon and pedophilia is a global ban, even though it isn't.

When typing it into the URL bar it brings up a 404 page. This doesn't happen when clicking on a link from elsewhere on the site (only works when there is a referrer header?). And the 404 page is different to the one shown when you go to a board that doesn't exist. Pic related.
