>>11293 TY admin-sama. Users can tell you guys really care about the site. This might be a good mod-only tool, or could be displayed on the site for users too. It makes a graph like picrel. https://github.com/BubblyJove/4chan-Shill-Thread-Detector >>11302 Proof of work and tying IDs to cookies instead of IP would be huge in stopping spam. A stealth "tie IDs together by cookies without telling the spammers" would absolutely ravage their IP addresses. Basically watch for cookies to hop between IPs, but still give them new IDs. Let them think they are samefagging. Make mods get an alert any time it jumps above 3 IPs per cookie. Weird how the paragraph spammers never talk about real solutions to combat spam. >>11302 1pbid-kun, you still need to make it so bypass tokens are tied to cookies, or you will keep VPN hopping.

Is it possible to change your account username?

>>11304 Well one of the biggest advantages to this place on the technical front is that the admin team runs it as a hobby. That doesn't mean "we can walk away at any time", it means "we find every part of it fun to some degree, even the frustrating parts." That's made sticking to our guns for five years pretty easy. Running 8chan is like our favorite videogame.

>>11305 Nope. You must make a new account and transfer your boards.

>>11306 Are you a sukafag? If so I must say very based taste

>>11290 >Do the boards I fav, are they listed in popular order still, or the order I faved them? Based on my own favorites list, they seem to be in alphabetical order. Using the following CSS (to replace the previous suggestion) should let you hide any board you don't want to see, although you'd need to add any new ones to the list yourself: span#navTopBoardsSpan > a[href="/board"], span#navTopBoardsSpan > a[href="/board"]:not(:last-of-type) + span { display:none; } For a more concrete example, here's a version of the above that hides the boards "gacha", "hisparefugio", and "interracial": span#navTopBoardsSpan > a[href="/gacha"], span#navTopBoardsSpan > a[href="/gacha"]:not(:last-of-type) + span, span#navTopBoardsSpan > a[href="/hisparefugio"], span#navTopBoardsSpan > a[href="/hisparefugio"]:not(:last-of-type) + span, span#navTopBoardsSpan > a[href="/interracial"], span#navTopBoardsSpan > a[href="/interracial"]:not(:last-of-type) + span { display:none; }

>>5423 Could you remove the first time terms of service window on files? It makes reverse search shit itself

I haven't tested them that much, but I'm not sure if the filters I have set are working, can anyone else please confirm if they're working?

Came up in a thread on /b/ and it was suggested to repost it here: >I'd like to see a site that let anybody play with moderation, but your mod flags would only do something on another user's page if that user was actively choosing you to be a mod. >You think the OG mod of a board turns into a raging faggot one day? Unchoose them. No one else is affected. Also solves the proliferation of dead boards every time people are butthurt, as rather than starting a bunch of splinter boards trying to be the replacement, the competing groups could continue using the same board, just with different sets of chosen mods.

>>11294 Done, happy posting.

>>11310 THIS

>>11313 Thanks!

Is off-topic posting not prohibited in the global rules? I suggest adding it to the global rules. I'm a refugee though; maybe you guys are more permissive of off-topic posts?

>>11293 So one thing I don't understand: You are blocked in both Ukraine and maybe now Poland, so I assume some government agency was involved - but you still have servers in both of these countries. So how does this work? Why didn't they take down those servers as well? Are they just that incompetent? Or did they turn them into honeypots lol?

>>11317 That's actually why. From what I understand, it works like this: >We set up in a country. That country, like all countries, has multiple networks owned by corpos and such that connect everyone. We get a server from a network that's okay with our site. Lets call them company A. However some other network that's connected to them are cucks. We'll call these cucks company B. What happens is, company B sees our traffic passing over their wires to go to and from company A because that's how the Internet works. They don't like this, but they can't dictate what company A is doing, so instead company B just blocks our shit from going over their network, maybe by malforming or plain old blackholing it. The result is that we have a server with company A that most of the world can use to get to the site, but anybody who lives in the area covered by company B's network can't access the site even though the two are neighbors. And company B may have enough leverage to pressure other networks to do the same thing. That's how it went down with the French ISPs back in 2021. We had servers with a smaller company there but some big French network cucked us completely. Similar stuff was done to Kiwifarms when they got deplatformed, only theirs was even worse because they owned their own ASN and IP block that could be targeted wholesale. Edit: Fun fact, Cloudflare did this to us too. Any traffic that would come to this site, no matter where its from, is malformed and cockblocked if it passes through a Cloudflare controlled network at any point in its journey. And no website can be set up on Cloudflare if any of its domains contains the string "8chan."

>>11293 >>11299 Probably a good idea would be to create tools that aren't just site-wide but board-wide. I'm a BO and I simply have no real tools to combat any kind of spam. Bans are a joke as they're extremely simple to dodge and spammers have no limitations on dodging them as network resources are more than plentiful and that's all it takes. In scenarios like this, the only solution the site provides is to stay glued to the screen to delete posts manually, which is stupid. And no one is going to come to the aid of a board that has a spammer problem unless it's a huge one, since it also wouldn't make sense to turn on a site-wide nuclear option for something that affects few users. >>11318 >they owned their own ASN and IP block that could be targeted wholesale oh shit

>>11318 Interesting, but also kinda disturbing. I'd just have assumed that e.g. Ukrainian government says "nope, this shit is illegal here, can't be hosted in our country", which would still be cucked but at the very least following some kind of law. If there's just some company that doesn't even have anything to do with your site going rogue and saying fuck you because they don't like the stuff, that's just another level of messed up. Welcome to the internet in the 2020s, I guess.

Is there a way to set an image limit for threads? On our board we don't want threads to become too large and setting a limit on the images that can be uploaded there is a good cue for users to create a new thread and link it in the old one. Just the bumplimit isn't really cutting it. Also I've often had that the board's allowed mime types get reset to just allow image/png when I change something completely unrelated in the settings, dunno if its a known bug or affects only me

>>11320 This has happened so many different times in so many different ways. When OG 8chan exploded people flocked to some other site whose name now escapes me that was maintained by some Australian guy. The attackers went after them too and although their host didn't bend to the pressure, their upstream provider threatened to cut the host off and they were forced to kick the site off their network or have their business destroyed.

>>11293 The .se domain seems to work. The ISP .moe stopped working on is Play.

>>11322 I'd understand if it was for stuff like literal CP, but that can't really be the issue here because then that wouldn't be necessary - CP is already illegal pretty much anywhere, so the hosters/site admins already are required to take this shit down ASAP, so there should be no need for a block. Of course there's lots of countries where they treat stuff like loli the same as actual CP, but then again the same principle would apply and hosters would just need to take it down, no need for a block.

>>11316 That falls strictly under local board jurisdiction.

>>11323 >>11293 If it's that the case, could the ips from the.se domain be used also on .moe?

>>11321 Seconding because this would be very useful for my board as well, we run into the same issue.

>>11318 Very interesting. >>11322 >just make your own... internet? >chans start pirate running fiber everywhere

>>11324 Adding to that, maybe it would be a good idea to make loli/shota boards VPN/Tor only or at least put up a PSA telling niggers to use it? Because when you are hosted somewhere where loli = CP, there's a real risk the hosters won't just shut you down but hand over all the user data they have, which could spell real trouble for anons who also live in cucked countries. (Of course if you live somewhere where that shit's illegal and use a site like this it's kind of your own fault if you don't have basic opsec)

If the LynxChan Minus Minus guy is here, please add this, thanks. document.querySelectorAll('.divMessage a:not(.quoteLink)').forEach((link) => { if(link.textContent.includes("youtu") && link.textContent.includes("si=")) { let stringindex = link.textContent.indexOf("si=") let sanitized = link.textContent.split(link.textContent.substring(stringindex, stringindex+19)).join("") if(sanitized.substring(sanitized.length-1) == "?") { sanitized = sanitized.slice(0, sanitized.length-1) } if(sanitized.includes("?&")) { sanitized = sanitized.split("?&").join("?") } link.textContent = sanitized link.href = sanitized } });

Any reason thread filters seem to be broke? putting the correct terms in the subject field and I can still see them Also is there any reason why going back in your tab history will randomly erase the forward history sometimes? It's inconsistent but seems to happen regardless of trying to reply to someone, and sometimes just from clicking back and I have to retrace whatever I had saved in the forward tab history

>>11331 This would get rid of the youtube link tracking token fuckery, and would thus be based. I hope he sees this.

>>11324 For years now companies have ganged up to take the law into their own hands. >>11329 Yes, that's pretty much what kinda ended up happening. People needed to start recreating basic internet services that everyone takes for granted, such as DDoS protection. >>11330 >Of course if you live somewhere where that shit's illegal and use a site like this it's kind of your own fault The problem is that there's so much controversial shit hosted here that probably some of it would always fall into illegal territory somewhere, so everyone should use a VPN/Tor. And then the next problem is that VPNs and Tor are always in the eye of the storm because of how easy it is to use them for spamming. I think only recently they started restoring Tor functionality to more normal levels and it still has the awful max file size limitation.

>>11333 Slightly fixed up and made into a userscript, so you can use it already. sorry i cba to figure out publishing on greasyfork. // ==UserScript== // @name Clean YouTube Links // @version 0 // @description Cleans YouTube Links // @author (me) // @match *://8chan.moe/*/res/* // @match *://8chan.se/*/res/* // @match *://8chan.cc/*/res/* // @run-at document-idle // @grant none // ==/UserScript== (function() { "use strict"; const target = document.getElementById("threadList"); const observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutations) { mutations.forEach(function(mutation) { document.querySelectorAll('.divMessage a:not(.quoteLink)').forEach((link) => { if(link.href.includes("youtu") && link.href.includes("si=")) { let stringindex = link.href.indexOf("si=") let sanitized = link.href.split(link.href.substring(stringindex, stringindex+19)).join("") if(sanitized.substring(sanitized.length-1) == "?") { sanitized = sanitized.slice(0, sanitized.length-1) } if(sanitized.includes("?&")) { sanitized = sanitized.split("?&").join("?") } link.textContent = sanitized link.href = sanitized } }); }); }); const config = { subtree: true, childList: true }; observer.observe(target, config); })();

When I'm on a /last/ thread and follow a >>quote for the same thread, it loads a new page since it links to the /res/ version. Do I have to fix this user-side or can you do something about the way /last/ and /res/ versions are constructed?

>>11335 Nice. Hopefully this gets incorporated into the OFFICIAL 8chanMinusMinus asap. Honestly it needs to be a sitewide thing, no reason to allow tracking tokens in the youtube links.

>>11334 >The problem is that there's so much controversial shit hosted here that probably some of it would always fall into illegal territory somewhere True, but loli content is afaik the only thing (aside from actual CP) where it could be illegal just *viewing* it, depending on which shithole country you live in

>>11338 I think at some point they booted the zoophiles but that was here too for a long while.
