Board Owner Support and Migration Requests Codexx Root 12/13/2020 (Sun) 05:27:09 Id: abfacc No. 1651
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 am moving my board in from another website. How can I request a migration? We're happy to move or archive boards from other websites at the board owner's request. Please contact me directly at codexx@cock.li with the name of your board on this site, a link to the board on another site, and some kind of proof you are the board owner. Generally, a screenshot of your board management page or a capcoded post on the board to be imported is sufficient. Currently we offer imports for boards on Vichan and LynxChan websites. JSChan support will arrive in the near future. What rules do I need to enforce on my board? Just the global rules, which are minimal and mostly consist of deleting illegal content. If your board is marked as Safe for Work (SFW), you will need to spoiler any images that show genitalia, scat, guro, etc. Globals will only police global rules on your board. You're welcome to add more rules on top of this, but you and your volunteers are responsible for enforcing them. How do I label my board as "Safe For Work"? Leave a request in this thread for a board to be marked as such, or send us an e-mail from your verified address. Your board must be reasonably about SFW content, and NSFW content must be spoilered so it does not show on the front page or overboard. We may label boards SFW or NSFW at our own discretion based on the average content on the board. If you would like its designation changed specifically, then please notify us of your preference. Why was captcha enabled on my board? If you set an automated captcha threshold in board settings, then captchas will be enabled on your board once a set number of posts/threads per hour limit is hit. The setting will not undo itself; you need to manually turn the captcha back off again each time. Still, we recommend setting a PPH captcha limit a bit above your usual peak PPH; this helps limit spam attacks. What if my question wasn't answered here? Reply with your question and we will try to answer as quickly as possible.
Please tick Non-bypassable by default. I keep checking the guide to remember what this thing supposed to do (well I know now)
>>8153 >guide Where? >Non-bypassable Wut?
>>8159 >Where? The guide or "Moderation Manual" is a special page that describes basic mod tools and board settings. I think you need to be registered to access it, but here's the link: https://8chan.moe/.static/pages/moderation.html >Wut? From the mod manual: <Non-bypassable: If this checkbox is un-ticked, the user can simply fill out a new bypass and continue posting. If it is ticked, it bans the IP from being able to bypass said ban until it expires.
>>8160 Ty.
Hello. I was wondering if it was possible for you guys to restore a hastily deleted board and for me to assume control of it. I created an account on the site, ticked the "Request confirmation e-mail" but I yet to receive it going for an hour or so. Thanks in advance.
>>8289 *have >Pending confirmation to be expired at Mon, 10 Jul 2023 13:09:08 GMT. What should I do in this case? I haven't received the confirmation e-mail
Unrelatable experience. Some fucker screenshot your board, then edit the screenshot to ask about .css My board is a small dying board, the kind that you only know by randomly see recent post. a BO see my css and purposely screenshot a spicy banner i make (mustve choose that banner to get reaction here) and for unknown reason, edited in part of my board you are not suppose to be able to see when the .css is on. I didnt want to make a fuss about it (I don't see it so either the post is in another thread or get cycled) but cmon you are ripping from small board. Worst thing about experience like this is that you are the only one knows it is edited.
>>3394 At this point clock symbol is more indicator of "board that doesnt have problem" rather than "BO who abandon their board" >2 years ago
I have question regarding the rules about sex with minors and animals in text form. One of my board users wants to retell a story about how he had sex with a cow back when he was 12yo. Its how he became a zoo. Would this be against the rules in anyway? Are real stories with minors acceptable in general? Or a strict no? Thnx for answer.
>>8347 Explain it carefully because I have no clue what's your issue. If English is not your mother tonge use the hispanic meta thread instead.
Why does it not work on Tor?
>>8556 Are you on the .onion, or one of the clearnet domains? And if on clearnet over Tor, which domain?
>>1651 say, if I want to create a new board(and a new css for it), but I do not have any experience with css, how do I do it? are there any free no-code tools/tutorials on how to create your own css?
>>1651 How do I hide my username in the last edited by messages? Can I hide my username in the public logs? this feature should be implemented, jschan has it too
>>4805 >flagging the board as SFW, Sending email to protonmail to request a status change for my board.
This sound stupid but I want to request a reverse warning option. I got a post who is either random passerby or potential user. If it is the later I don’t want to scare him but at the same time the sus post is the only thing they post. The reverse warning I propose won’t show warning if user do post within set time (I assume they are legit if they return soon) but will show warning if user doesn’t post soon (random shitter)
Uids are showing even though I have turned the option off. Please fix.
>>2092 Speaking about global limit, can BO have option to cap image limit in their board? >>2094 yeah I think loading 700 pics isn't doable for people viewing from potato device. I want to bring my board limit to half of it.

Do your posters have basic courtesy of asking if they allowed to post sensitive content before they post it? I know Warning sign disuade new posters but on other hand people like pic related exist
>>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.
>>4805 >Both are planned features for Lynxchan 2.8 ( Still not seeing it nor mentioned in >>5978 or >>9110 Deleting user's file, either via thread/Moderate Thread option or ban droplist only show deletion by IP/bypass. Now that I do it, it does delete post from that bypass,which date back to last week. I thought bypass only last for 1 day? whole board post deletion, not just from thread. Thankfully only from that bypass. And different poster can’t share same exact bypass right? I thought I accidentally deleted a regular user’s post but consider 1 week worth of post get deleted, he probably is the offender, just changing identity fuck this is getting interesting
Check the emails for 8moeadmin@protonmail.com if you would be so kind, lainfag.
>>9386 Learn to speak English, José.
>lainfag care about the road he step in to get to other side
How do i delete board? I click the "delete board" button, but it only says i am not allowed
>>9530 You can't, the function was removed after some niggers abuse it to break havoc. Ask Codexx directly either IRC, Matrix or Email, so he can delete your boards.
I think the system overestimate if I unlink multiple post at once. I click to mass unlink 5 posts and the notice tell me "successfully trash 98 something something"
>>1651 >If the BO cannot be reached then we will hand the board over to a willing replacement. How long is the grace period for the site administration to attempt to contact an AWOL BO after a board claim is made? I don't see a timeframe listed here or in the moderation manual where claims are mentioned. I sent an email claiming an abandoned board two weeks ago.
Please extend Trashbin retaining period to 2 days, things get removed too fast
Why does #rs stick with you in other threads after you post with it once? The only way I can get rid of it is clearing my browser. It's annoying going into the account page to check and uncheck your role signature, but it's even more annoying dealing with the side effects of using #rs even once, so #rs being the more quick and convenient way isn't really true and it's ultimately a pointless function.
>>9658 It's because of shitty browsers. Hopefully in the future there will just be a checkbox by the name field instead, especially for boards that have no name field.
Can a board volunteer ask to move a thread like a BO can?
Hi, sorry if I'm being too impatient but do the admins check their emails anymore? I sent an email a few days ago about how email verification seems to be broken but got nothing.
>>9327 >Last] button >50 I'm grateful it only display less than that. I don't know why i thought it only display 15. I wish it only display 15 or so. >>9670 I got impatient the first time i made a board because it was close to end year so last year i email them in advance.I got my response within 1 month
this no longer works: #dynamicAnnouncement { display: none; } plz help
>>9670 >>9716 The e-mail verification being a bit slower has been on me. I've been busier than usual and haven't been checking my inbox as often. I will rework the verification process over the holidays to help speed things up. >>9731 Can you explain what you expect it to do, and what it no longer does? >>9659 Got Stephen to implement this for the next LynxChan release. >>9657 It is two days, but I think it works by running in batches, so it's possible that posts get clipped sooner than that. I'll talk about extending it to three days. On larger boards, the trash bin can get excessive very quickly if it doesn't empty regularly, so I'd be hesitant to extend it any further than that. >>9554 Can you give me some steps to reproduce? You're trying to unlink images? >>9530 We stopped allowing deletions because 9/10 times it was only used maliciously. There are almost always users who want to keep the board going, so deletion just scatters people instead of allowing a clean hand-off. If you really want a board deleted, you can reach out to us, but at this point I think it's best for closed boards to simply be locked, which we can also provide.
