The site is taking a bit of a beating today. Don't know if its bad actors or election traffic craziness or some combination of the two. We're on it though, and mitigating it. Frontends, backends, network relays, almost everything has suffered some kind of "hiccup" over the past 18 hours, so its hard to think its coincidence, and its not the kind of "load cascade failure" that you'd get just from traffic spikes.

8chan Rules Enforcement and Corner Case Rulings Compendium Anonymous Board owner 11/21/2021 (Sun) 23:49:51 Id: 0a02ed No. 4481 [Reply]
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.
17 posts and 3 images omitted.
Ruling18: Shilling, Blackpilling, and Other Psyops. Global Rule 4 has long contained a provision prohibiting "psyops" against the site. Out of respect for free speech, and to avoid false positives or the appearance of policing opinions, this ruling is invoked only sparingly and only when predictable patterns of disruptive activity are noticed, and not merely on the basis of one isolated event. If this ruling is invoked in matters of controversy, a general policy is held that "the truth vindicates" - meaning that objectively true information, shown in its full context and without malice or leading the reader, will be exempted so that we can err on the side of free speech, even if such content would be inconvenient to the site. Many times the malicious users to whom this ruling would apply are already breaking the rules of the site because they are spamming the disruptive content and/or evading bans, and so those rules will generally be invoked against them first. Typically when prohibited psyops are detected by themselves the content will simply be deleted, but global staff may use their own judgement in assigning bans for persistent or particularly malicious posters of it. The most common activities that constitute prohibited psyops are: <Shilling Meaning marketing a website, article, meme, false narrative, product or service by faking unironic community enthusiasm, favorable reviews, or public or staff support, particularly when done for profit. <Datamining Meaning an organized attempt to disguise the solicitation of user metadata and/or personal identifying information as ordinary posts or traffic, particularly when done for profit. <Blackpilling Meaning a malicious attempt to demoralize or otherwise inhibit the interests, passions, or energy of the community to discourage users from participating in the site, a board, a thread, or some other allowed activity in order to hinder or limit user participation. <Death Memes Meaning a malicious attempt to create a false impression among the community that a board or the site is "dying" or otherwise in some perilous or compromised state, with the intent of creating a self-fulfilling prophecy by provoking users into abandoning it. <Derailing and Diluting

(41.30 KB 614x767 Board Raider Legends.webp)

Ruling19: Raids, Raiding, and Raiding Raiders The Global Rules of the site do not generally prohibit the act of raiding, regardless of whether such raids occur between boards on this site, or are conducted by anons from this site upon other locations. However any raid, or series of raids, which spills over or gets out of hand (e.g., a board is spammed beyond the ability of local staff to handle, or retaliatory actions from other sites pose a threat to the communities here, the site as a whole, or other parts of our infrastructure, or doxing and /i/nvasion tactics start being used which may violate the law) may fall afoul of Global Rule 4's "harm to the site" clause and become prohibited that way. >Why? Board raids are ancient imageboard culture, dating back to the era of Gaia Online, Habbo Hotel, and Ebaumsworld. This site aims to protect and preserve as much of old imageboard culture as possible, and our general policy is that top-down moderation of the site should be kept to a minimum. The typical raid is a relatively harmless affair, done for the lulz and the only price paid is the minor frustrations of its intended victims. In sum, raids are meant to be fun and so long as they don't actually wind up causing measurable harm to the site or spill over into other Global Rule violations, then it isn't our place to tell anons and boards what they can and cannot do for their amusement.

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.

I'll talk about extending it to three days.

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.

>>6451 >como se genera la ASN? La ASN se basa en cookies? Tenia la misma inquietud así que le pregunte a ChatGPT como funciona un baneo por ASN en Lynxchan y me respondió con lo siguiente: ---- En LynxChan, un baneo por ASN (Autonomous System Number) funciona restringiendo el acceso a una dirección IP o un rango de direcciones IP asociadas a un determinado ASN. Un ASN es un número único asignado a un proveedor de servicios de Internet (ISP) o una organización que administra una red independiente. Cuando un moderador o administrador de LynxChan aplica un baneo por ASN, se identifica el ASN del proveedor de servicios de Internet del usuario que está infringiendo las reglas del sitio web. Luego, se agrega el ASN a una lista de prohibiciones en la configuración del servidor, lo que impide el acceso al sitio web a todas las direcciones IP asociadas con ese ASN. Por ejemplo, si se banea el ASN de un proveedor de servicios de Internet que brinda servicio a una universidad, todas las direcciones IP asignadas a la red de la universidad se verán afectadas por el baneo, incluso si los usuarios individuales no han violado las reglas del sitio web. El baneo por ASN es una medida más amplia que el baneo por dirección IP individual, ya que afecta a todos los usuarios que comparten una red específica, y puede ser útil para evitar que los usuarios que intentan evadir un baneo mediante el cambio de direcciones IP tengan éxito. Sin embargo, también puede afectar a usuarios legítimos que no tienen nada que ver con el comportamiento infractor y pueden ser vistos como una medida drástica. ---- Lo pregunte por que justamente me apareció un baneo de estos hace unas horas en >>>/hispachan/ y según estuve comprobando en https://hackertarget.com/as-ip-lookup/ sospecho que el baneo se extiende a todo mi proveedor de internet (ya veré si después lo apelo o si me lo aguanto hasta el 17 de abril).
Dejo el manual de janitor que postearon en un hilo del refugio hace unas semanas. Lo reposteo aquí para que no se pierda (de nuevo) y por que quizás podría resultar útil en el futuro para los dueños de tablones. Contexto: Poco después de que cerro Hispachan, en https://krautchan.rip/hs/175801 habían posteado este PDF (que a grandes rasgos vendría siendo como un compendio del shitpost y avatarfags habituales con los que la moderación de aquel entonces tenia que lidiar). Cuestión que estuvo perdido hasta hace poco luego de que el enlace dejara de funcionar después de que restauraran un backup en el servidor (al parecer por un ataque de spam, ya que ese cagadero esta programado con las patas y ni un puto captcha tiene).
