Post interesting or unusual stuff concerning 8chan and related imageboards and similar stuff here.

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.

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.

. 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.

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.

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?

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.

Please create an experimental board. The purpose of which will be to test the concept of Democratic Automoderation. >2 reports = 2 hours ban >3 reports = 3 days ban >10 reports = 10 days ban The Net has never been safer!

This thread is dedicated to listing the various boards of the site in order to increase its visibility. If you know of a board that may be of interest to others, add a link to the board along with a brief description. Hidden boards welcomed as long as their BO are ok with being mentioned here.

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.

Why do so many webring sites have 8chan.moe blacklisted?

can't download webms and mp4s on this site but it works on other sites does anyone know why that is? I'm using https://github.com/CookieJarApps/SmartCookieWeb

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.

Have you considered fixing the captcha so it doesn't take 100% of my cpu for no reason, maybe, maybe you consider fixing that.

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.

Hey Cakekike, why are you using 16chan's (one of the main imageboards in the shill cabal known as the ACA) Lynxchan frontend? https://gitgud.io/663/16Lynx
