What was the errorcode? 400?

Pdfs are allowed here. Are we sure this is safe given the 4chan attack was done using pdfs?

Have you seen these new Sven memes? These are some seriously spicy memes.

Anyway, I went ahead and deleted the three posts you requested, but I still think you're making a mountain out of a molehill with this stuff. For one thing, your anecdote was as dense and impossible to follow as most of your posts. For another, there wasn't really anything in there that struck me as all that revealing. All I took away from it was that you have an ex-girlfriend who liked to draw edgy fan-comics. Whatever though; they're gone now, so you can rest easy I guess.

Going forward, if you're concerned about your various arch-enemies uncovering your secret identity, and your friends and family getting caught in the cross-fire, probably the best course of action would be to:

A) stop posting sensitive information, and
B) stop making yourself such a target in the first place.

For one thing, I think you vastly overestimate how interested anyone would actually be in tracking you down irl and hassling you. I can assure you that this Discord-based conspiracy against you that you keep going on about is 100% in your head. There is absolutely zero evidence that anyone is coordinating off-site to screw with you. Nobody would even need to coordinate off-site if they wanted to. What is actually happening is that you keep making a gigantic ass of yourself all over the site, and people here keep egging you on and messing with you because it's funny. That is literally all that's going on. It only seems like a conspiracy to you because you are either unwilling or incapable of seeing the abnormality in your own behavior.

All of the drama surrounding you that has occurred on this site was caused directly by you. When you're not prominently word-vomiting your autism all over the place, nobody thinks about you or cares what you're doing. However, every few months you flare up like a case of herpes, make a dumb post like >>>/mlpol/358186 → or a dumb thread like >>>/mlpol/356155 → . People get annoyed and start arguing with you, or they just start bantzing on you for laughs, and it escalates from there. I will freely admit that I dunk on you all the time, with or without my various tripcodes and capcodes.

This place is like a small town. Everyone knows everyone, and usually there's not a whole lot going on. So when the village idiot wanders into the town square and starts ranting at the top of his lungs about something completely stupid, egging him on and screwing with him becomes a source of entertainment for everyone else. That was your glimmernigger conspiracy, that was your arch-nemesis HC Legend I'm still mildly curious if this guy is/was even a real person, and that's your Discord conspiracy. It's also any other conspiracies that you might dream up in the future.

Look man, I'm not a completely terrible person, and I can generally sympathize with a guy who's getting bullied. But the guy who not only asks for it but keeps lining up to get seconds is hard to feel sorry for. The dweeby-looking guy who's just trying to quietly live his life while people tape kick-me signs to his back? That guy I feel sorry for. That's not you, though. You're basically a guy who tapes a kick-me sign to his own back, and then marches up and down the cafeteria screaming "I AM A GIGANTIC FAGGOT, PLEASE KICK ME!" at the top of his lungs. Then, when people finally start kicking you, you begin shrieking and acting like a victim. That one guy who always calls you "Niggel" is almost as autistic and unintelligible as you yourself, but I can honestly see how he formed the impression that you are a kike, or a crypto-kike, or whatever he calls you. Because you exhibit some damn Jewy behavior sometimes.

Anyway, that's all I've got. I'm not sure if we're at the beginning or the end of the current cycle of Nigel-herpes, but either way, I figured I'd give you my two cents as usual. Do with it what you will.

MODS = GODS

I may be retarded, but it seems like archived threads aren't really marked in any way. I had https://mlpol.net/poner/65 open in a tab for a while, and I went to post there just now and got a message saying "thread is archived".
But not only is that not visible anywhere on the page itself, but the autorefresh timer is still running, "refreshing" the thread every 5 seconds. And reloading the page doesn't do anything.

I think that if /poner/ really picks up speed and threads might start archiving regularly, this could be worth looking at. As a more precise to-do list of what a user might expect:
>favicon changing so the tab is visible as archived
>the page text saying "archived" instead of e.g. "page 10"
>the auto-update automatically stopping, the manual refresh button getting disabled, and possibly this also saying "archived" (for reference, 4chanx writes that in red text)

Speaking of favicons, I remember someone mentioning that the icon for threads with (You)s is almost indistinguishable from threads with just unread posts, but apparently it wasn't in this thread. Either way bumping that anon's point, it's nice being able to see at a glance if you got (You)ed in any open tab.

And one very minor extra unrelated suggestion would be having a posts/posters/images/page display near the top of the thread also, not just at the very bottom, so that you can see it immediately when opening a thread rather than only once you've already read every post anyway.
Again for a 4chanx reference it puts it in the sticky header on the right (so next to the Options button currently), which is even nicer since you can see it at a glance from anywhere, but I'm not picky. (4chanx also adds a red notification if you got (You)ed anywhere in any other thread but that would have to come after a thread watcher implementation kek.)

There was some spam so might have been that it pushed it off into archives. One of the spam preventions is that if catalog is spammed to hell the catalog and therads will be restored when spam is removed. But I will look into if there is a better way to do it (but might take time to tweak that due to more work on underlying code).

I will look into tweaking the notification favicon for (you)s. And the other Quality of Life suggestions.

>>9367
Oh huh. The thing is that thread isn't "restored" yet, I can't reply to it and it's not showing up on the catalog, so I'm a bit confused about what you mean.

>I will look into tweaking the notification favicon for (you)s. And the other Quality of Life suggestions.
Warm thanks. I really appreciate the dev effort you're putting in to fix all of these little things so fast.

>>9368
Let me check.
Oh, it is in the Archive - reading is hard. Thought you said it was in the catalog and missed the "not" part.
It should have said "Archived", so not sure why it says "Page 10". I will look into it. Thanks for letting me know about it.

What's the filesize limit here? If not then I'm adding it as a suggestion.

I noticed on 8moe that they have a file size upload of 50mb, along with which files are supported. But I don't see any info for where this would be on mlpol, and I checked the help under options.

>>9370
60mb i believe

Lads, how many layers of semantics do you want to be on?
Striped is not blacked, because striped involves ponies and zebras.
Is Striped an analogue for Blacked? For some - primarily the artists and promoters - yes. Rule 43 will never not be a thing, and there's all kinds of ways a thing can be corrupted especially when catering to individual tastes.

There's also a case to be made that we've tolerated this nonsense for a full 24 hou day and though it would stand as an exception to the "Ponies no exceptions" rule, an exception might be made.

Also. Since we're trying to be accommodating to /mlp/, I propose an overt/declared relaxation of the "No Generals" rule
HOWEVER, this is not charity, it is a bargain. In exchange for Generals being allowed to exist, they be expected to acknowledge that Mlpol isn't as fast or as adversarial, meaning "hit bump limit" doesn't necessarily justify a new thread. It will be some time before any thread that's being actively engaged slides off, including our worst offender.

>>9349
Common practice is to wait for generals to reach page 10/9 to make a new thread. Anyone who doesn't do that is already retarded.
I'm hoping anons are smart enough to realize that slower activity = longer for the thread to slide off. But the common anon is very stupid (that also includes me)

Hey Lotus, question about ponerpics:

Why aren't the tags, or images really, ever merged? Some have been up for months.

>>9347
If I'm tossing my hat in the ring here, I'll speak against Blacked/Striped content. Blacked is a Jewish forced meme, and it is encroaching on a lot of places across the internet and in real life in advertising. I see it as explicitly invasive and an attempt to push real world views.

Ideally, I don't want it to be here at all. If it's in a containment thread that can be filtered, that'd be the next best thing.

>>9354
That is the current status, and the offending thread in question is well past bump limit. Any attempt to recreate the thread prior to a risk of sliding (page 10) will likely result in censure including both offending threads.
The simplest move would be to spoiler the thread and forget about it, not lending any attention and forcing detractors to come up with 'other ways' to be a problem (they will try), absolving anyone of coding anything and simply proceeding with a slightly ammended strategy.

>>9325
You misunderstand.
/poner/ would become a blue board
/mlpol/ would remain red, and all the existing rules would be in place and enforced, and probably to a greater degree because
/sp/ is the degenerate faphouse

>>9334
Oh, that makes more sense.

Proposal:

Add a rule that would let a thread OP on /poner/ decide if the thread is going to be NSFW or SFW.

Ideally this would be done through a change in code where upon thread creation an OP checks a box, and each thread would signify that. This could be added retroactively by moderation. Then perhaps a user can have an option to filter all NSFW checked threads. Pupper says this feature could not be in effect until tomorrow at the very earliest.

>>9342
That seems agreeable.

>>9342
Pupper being the expert on what can be implemented and how easily,
>>9343
This

>>9342
Good idea. I think this would satisfy everyone.

I am leaning towards making it open source (or at very least make binaries available), but I have to complete the current rewrite (cleanup) so it is more userfriendly and ironed out first. Current code is not one that I feel has all the options that a complete engine should have. Also some choices I did when made first version was not the best ones so doing some changes. Got a bit sidetracked during current rewrite and had to put it off for a while but I am getting back into writing it.

>>7490
and where is the code?

>Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, since you missed it!
Thanks. Same for you poner.

During the festivities on 4chan today I engaged some anons on [s4s] and effectively shilled Mlpol with kindness. Some of the lads look a look at the catalog and requested a pony-porn ONLY board, ostensibly /hp/ or something of the sort, featuring ONLY porn so that anons can avoid politics (no one expressly said that, but I have no doubt its a factor). Whether this was a temporary thing or something that persists, I posit that at the very least it can increase receptivity to the site. Soyjack wrote a series of contemptible lies about us in their wiki, and I'm trying to illustrate that we're actually quite nice, and not necessarily what them or youtubers have to say about us.

Whale come! Have you tried horsepussy?

Honest answer, not sure if deleted threads get archived, kinda sure they don't,... so you're not gonna find much if anything.

yayponies.no is probably the best place, but be mindful that they only have them in english, and that every episode is a *.torrent each

Well, english and japanese.
