/qa/ - Questions and Answers

>>4126
The default reply limit is set to 350. The /mlpol/ reply limit is 700, and the /vx/ reply limit is 450

what's the current maximum that the catalog can hold?

>>4128
The /mlpol/ board is set to 15 threads per page, and a limit of 12 pages. Every other board is also set to 15 threads per page, but with a sitewide page limit that is much higher: 1500 pages

Something of a **newfag** question, but what's this weird shit with links? I went to share a link that was posted here somewhere else by copying the link and it added some intro to it,directly posting to show it:
https://href.li/?https://www.ted.com/talks/joseph_redmon_how_a_computer_learns_to_recognize_objects_instantly
That href.li thing, what is that?
If you're intending to block referrals and that's what it is supposed to do, since this is vichan it should work just like on 8chan: put a wordfilter in board settings on the colon.

Wordfilter : to :
Since the markup on this vichan seems to be different from the version of vichan 8chan uses I'm not 100% if it will work right in this software, but the italicization would be enough to make links unclickable and thus force the referral-less copying and pasting method to open a link.

>>4136
Yes, the href.li was there to hide the http referrer so site you are visiting wouldn't know that you visited them from here. We have switched to using the HTML5 attribute noreferrer https://caniuse.com/rel-noreferrer as it now has 94.42% support rate among all users (98.14% among desktop) and should give same functionality without the use of 3rd party site. We will keep looking at solutions making it safe and comfy for users to use the site.

Did the Yang Gang thread get bumplocked?

>>4591
It's not bumping, even though I just posted to it.

>>4591
>>4592
If it was bumplocked, I'm sure it had nothing to do with it being bombarded with shitty memes that eliminated legitimate discussion, or the recent influx of Yang memes invading other threads

>>4593
Hmmmm, maybe I'll make another thread for Yang memes then. Not today though.

What happened this morning around 7AM Eastern Time that mlpol.net went off line?

Did my "Post In This Thread Every Time You Visit /qa/" thread get deleted?

>>4766
I kill things

>>4767
I'll take that as a yes..
I checked the board and saw it was gone. Did it break any rules?

>>4768
Probably not, but /qa/ is not a shitposting board. There was no question, nor issue to address/inquire about.

>>4769
It was meant to promote board activity; like the similar threads on the other slower boards.
I'll just word it more carefully next time.

>>4771
>>4769
Alright. I remade it; this time with a clear topic in mind.
It can at least be said to be more on topic then the dragonmaud corndog thread.

>>4773
>Content-promotion thread gets deleted without apparent reason
>both corndog threads, catbane emoji post, and various duplicates of "Can I have a discord link?" stay where they are
What gives?

>>4778
>Post in this thread every time you visit
is not a content-promotion thread. Also, corndogs r serious bizness

>>4780
The underlying point of the thread was to encourage users to post to /qa/ more often, which is good for the board and the community as a whole.
And it was definitely more productive than the catbane post.

>>4782
So it wasn't a 'post ITT every time' thread? Cuz it said 'post ITT every time'

>>4783
No, it was indeed a post itt thread, like the ones on /cyb/ and /sp/ that were meant to spur board activity.

>>4784
/qa/ was never intended to be an active board. It is here so that anons who have issues that need to brought up to staff and moderators can do so. If you have an issue with participation and content, take it up on the mainboard with the posters.

>>4785
>/qa/ was never intended to be an active board
That's actually news to me.

>>4768
>>4766
>>4771
>>4778
>>4786
Alright, I will address this directly with a capcoded post, so that hopefully there can be an official summation of the issue. While I seriously doubt this reply will be accepted as satisfying, nevertheless this will (hopefully) be the final word on this that comes from me.

First off, I would like to say that I am not the mod who deleted the thread the first time, nor did I delete the second thread, nor am I the poster in >>4766 >>4769 and so forth. When the thread was deleted, the staff member in question noted that he deleted the thread on the staff discord. I asked why the thread was deleted. I did not get a reply then, but I have today, and I sympathize with his reasoning.

/sp/ is a designated shitposting board, /a/ I don't really care about, and I am not sure about /cyb/. Those are content boards. Their purpose is so that people have content they want to see, and so a "post in this thread each time you visit" kind of makes sense as it encourages posting. /qa/ is not a content board. It is not a shitposting board. It is not an entertainment board. It has a very narrow purpose, and that is to be a conduit between the staff and the userbase to report concerns, to ask questions about the site, and to ask questions about technical issues. It is not a board for fun posting. It does not exist to amass posts. It is not a board where "activity" is desired in the way in which it is desired on the main board, /sp/ and so on. It does not matter if this is a slow or "dead" board, because it was not intend to be posted on unless there was a need. Posting on this board is desired if and only if there is an actual purpose to the posting that relates to the purpose of the board. That is, post only if you have an issue, if there is something about the site you really want to know, if you have a suggestion to improve the site, or something along those lines. Posting just to increase the number of posts reduces the functionality of this board by cluttering it, and shows a contempt for the actual purpose of outreach to solve problems.

It's like calling tech support or the IT department just to chitchat or bullshit. That is not what IT is there for, they are not there to be friends, please hangup and leave the lines open for people who actually have problems that need to be addressed. If you want to bullshit with coworkers, bullshit with your actual coworkers.

And for all of that, I sympathized with you and would not have deleted the thread myself, hence why I asked the staff member who deleted it why they deleted it. I was sympathetic, until your blatant act of disrespect and contempt by remaking the exact same thread after being told it was deleted because it was off-topic. What the actual fuck anon? For some reason, you pretended like you were going to remake the thread so it would comply with the board's topic, but instead you made exactly the same thread with the same title and OP image, just reordering the wording of the one sentence of text in the body of the post. And you did all of that almost immediately after it was confirmed that it was deleted by a member of staff for being off topic. Jesus Anon, I was on the fence about whether your thread should have been allowed, but then you had to childishly and impetuously defy the staff in a "you can't tell me what to do!" stunt. No, I don't think the staff member did the right thing in not capcoding in the reply despite obviously claiming to be staff, and I thought more elaboration in the reply was merited. But damn, you were right onto "fuck the rules, I do what I want" before I could even drive home from work and buying a pizza. That pissed me off, and I did not care before.

And now let me address the Corndog thread. Did you notice the thread was dated to 2 years ago? That thread was made two years ago, back when May had a real majority in the House of Commons, seven months before the last Jedi was released. I have lived in 4 different cities in two states for 10+ weeks at each location, and am now living in a 5th city, since that thread was last posted in. The last post in that thread was made before I ever came onto mlpol staff. It was made almost a year before the staff member who deleted your thread came onto staff. My point is, that thread is fucking old and a lot of shit has changed since then, and it is not clear that it would be given the same pass today as it was way back when it was posted. Besides the age, there are two reasons that thread is less obnoxious as a shit post than the "post in this thread every time you visit" thread. First, that thread was a self aware parody of how the /qa/ board of 4chan, which, like this board, was intended as a means of communication with the community, was taken over by a bunch of entitled squatters who made vapid and inane posts. Second, that thread didn't encourage daily shitposting in it, which would keep it at the top of the page and slowly undermine the purpose of the board.

The fact that you had to find threads that were two years old in order to have examples of shitposting kind of proves that shitposting on /qa/ has been rare, and far more an exception than the norm.

Don't act entitled to shitpost. We understand wanting to post fun things, but acting like an entitled dick about it, and childishly remaking the exact same thread immediately after you are told it was deleted for being off-topic while also lying about changing it to make it topical, just alienates any sympathy we would have for your position.

>>4790
>remaking the exact same thread after being told it was deleted because it was off-topic
I specifically made sure to change the wording of the thread to ensure it included a definitive issue about the board and opened a topic for conversation. After it was deleted a second time, this time with a ghost of an explation, I did not see it fit to make it again. Since the thread was deleted without the staff in question saying why it was deleted or what particular rule it broke, I, who had no real information from my standpoint, I figured the thread would be compliant with the rules if I changed the wording to make it more appropriate, but that was later revealed to not be the case.
As for the intent of the thread, it was just a casual attempt to increase user participation on the board, since the similar threads on /cyb/, /sp/, and /a/ seemed to bolster posting on those boards in the slightest bit. Since it worked on the other threads, I thought it would do the same here, since community participation is actually a topic I consider to really be important. If such a thread is against restrictions, then I'm glad to comply.

>>4790
>First, that thread was a self aware parody of how the /qa/ board of 4chan, which, like this board, was intended as a means of communication with the community, was taken over by a bunch of entitled squatters who made vapid and inane posts.
I feel like addressing this part, just because it leaves a bad taste in my mouth..
First of all, 4cuck's /qa/ board was hardly ever intended to be a meta board, despite its name. It was reborn from the ashes of /q/ as Moot's parting "gift" to the site he abandoned. It didn't turn to shit because it was "taken over" by /jp/sies; it was left to rot and fester by mods who didn't care about the community, let alone their opinions. The "questions and answers" rebranding felt more like a sarcastic remark, because 4chan's /qa/ was filled with Anon's asking questions, and never, ever receiving answers; and occasionally a place where Hiroshimoot tested his site codes.
/qa/ was a garbage dump of a hidden board where Anons were commonly left to scream at a virtual wall until they got tired and gave up. Only the angriest shitposters ever gave it a chance, thinking if they screamed, and that's how this community was first reformed after the original /mlpol/ board froze.
I remember visiting 4chan's /qa/ for two consecutive days only twice in the past decade. The first time was when /pol/'s /rwss/ thread was shoahed, causing a horde of angry /pol/acks to flood in with complaints about compromises in moderation (which persisted long enough for one of the mods to get fired). The second time was when /mlpol/ was shut down, and all of us who knew and loved the board flooded in and demanded change, too angry to care that our pleas were falling on death ears. Both of times, I remember being greeted by the "locals": those scriptfagging, botspamming, corndog-worshipping troglodytes who squatted there like gypsies because none of the dozen weeb-shitposting boards on 4chan were specific enough to suit their autistic habits, acting liked they owned the board because they alone used it for anything but meta; those were the entitled faggots who acted like they were the "real" 4chan, responding with rude and irrationally hostile remarks to anyone who came there with a real issue, with repeated comments like "delet /pol/" or "go back there".
Now, I get it if it's desirable to mitigate shitposting on what is supposed to be a serious meta board, but to compare what was an honest attempt to increase user activity to those prickly, entitled, moeblob-spamming weebs we all came together loathing feels a bit misguided. Nobody here thinks how those cave-NEETs behaved was ever acceptable, or that shitposting all over the meta board would ever be okay; I just thought the site could possibly benefit from /qa/ showing up on the overboard maybe once every few days, and that was the end of it.

Awhile ago on 8ch someone made a post describing a level system in psychology. It was a scale of 4 or 5 where 1 is typical normies and NPCs 2 is mental illness and I can't remember the others. Does anyone know what I might be talking about?

>>4850
Yeah, it's psychology.
You can explain the actions of others based on an already stabilished model.

how do I dice?

[1d20 = 2]
>>4893
Either type Dice xdy in the Email field, where x is the number of dice you want to roll and y is the number of sides to each dice, or type [xdy] in the comment.

For example: [1d20 = 12]

>>4894
Thanks friend!
[14d88 = 442]

I think I missed reading the reason for my warning. It was because it was spoiler, right? That's the only thing I can come up with that makes sense. It didn't think about that because I basically don't care about the current show but I can accept that.

But it was for that reason, right? I just wanna know.

>>4896
Assuming you did the Pinkie Pie does a thing with another pony thread, yes. That's precisely why. I know plenty of you faggots have watched the leaked episodes, but some of us haven't and rather enjoy experiencing the new episodes - especially with the series concluding - during the premiere along with anons. This is not a staff/site policy, its a matter of decorum. If you want to press the issue, I'll happily address it the next time the series is coming to an end and faggots want to spoil it for everyone.

>>4898
No, as I said, that's fine. I just didn't think about the possiblity that it would spoiled people since I don't longer sees it as canon.

1. will MLPOL.net ever have a /meta/ board or is /qa/ meant to serve that purpose?

2. what are the chances we can get a /co/ board for discussing western 2D since we have an /a/ board for discussing eastern 2D?

3. if we ever get a /tv/ then how would we resolve whether cartoons belong in /co/ or /tv/ ?

4. will we ever get a /draw/ specifically for drawthreads/requests?

5. can we get a /tg/ board where we talk about how to adapt ponies into various systems like GURPS or D20?

[1d20+5 = 15]
>>4900
1. Yes, /qa/ is the meta board.
2-4.
5. /vx/ is the board for that. It’s not expressly in the name, but it’s a /v/ board, /x/ board, and /tg/ board all in one. Also there’s a dice function site-wide allowing anons to roll values.
There’s two methods. In the email field type “dice xdy (with any modifiers). The second is in the comment section in []’s type xdy, again with modifiers. The red result is the e-mail field, and both rolls are 1d20+5.
[1d20+5 = 19]

[1d20+5 = 9]
>>4901
As you can see the email field doesn’t add the modifier so much as indicate it (it’s a 15), and over time it’s been observed that the email field dice are (((stingy))). Enjoy!

>>4902
Oh yeah, and don’t forget to remove the email field on your next post

I was checking out https://mlpol.net/policy.html and "Rules for Users" and there are 11 rules numbered from 3 to 13...

Where exactly are rules 1 and 2?

>>4911
Rules 1 and 2 were just as with 4chan.
Do not talk about, and do not talk about, /mlpol/. Since going off-site however, rules 1 and 2 have been stricken, as our method and mode of operation must necessarily change in order to ensure a future for white ponies. Hence, it is no longer a rule to not talk about /mlpol/. It is assumed that users won't be retarded about it - discretion is always a plus - but attracting users to the site necessitates mentioning it.

I run an imageboard myself (vichan rather than NPF) and it's got that multiupload bug where if you upload a .jpg and then other formats it generates a thumbnail for the other formats but doesn't add them to /src/, have you guys ever run into this problem and if so how did you fix it? I've seen it on a couple other sites besides mine as well.

>>4917
Nevermind, figured it out, it was caused by the default exif stripping option, using exiftool instead fixes it

It has been a dramatic decline in participation. Where the fags went, Discord?

>>4926
I was away for personal reasons but indeed things look pretty slow, what happened?

Why does the notices bit under the reply box never get updated? We've gotten a few new boards since then (if you count /cyb/ being reinstated), and I feel like it's a good way to keep the community informed about changes to the site.

>>4974
lazy

>>5100
I was OP for thread, but deleted it after the stream to prevent replies as there was already a discussion thread.

>>4126
How do you get a thread stickied?

Is there something like 4chanx available for the site?
Or just an option for slightly larger text might be nice. Zooming in isn't quite the same.

Why is there a captcha now?

>>5206
If there's one, it's because of spambots.

>>5206
>>5207
Yes, there have been several spambots that have targeted the site recently. It's a temporary measure, and should be removed soon

Why was my thread deleted. Nothing in it was against the rules and this is an imageboard we are SUPPOSED to be dicks to each other!

>>5209
Also the other guy started it.

>>5209
/mlpol/ is a board of frenship. The thread was not deleted, only moved

>>5209
The thread was not deleted; it was moved to the /sp/ board, evidently because the thread topicality did/does not match with the /mlpol/ board, thus making the /sp/ board - with no real rules of topicality requirements - a more appropriate venue.

>>5212
>>5211
Alrighty then.

>>5209
>>5210
>>5213
/sp/ has rules closer to old /b/, so in general if you have a thread you want to start that doesn't pertain to ponies or politics it's better to post it there.

>>5209
>this is an imageboard we are SUPPOSED to be dicks to each other!
Wut?

Does this site have an exif data stripper?

is there a way to get around two equal signs turning text red?

>>5224
Yes exif data is removed from images and other files as good as possible. As per the About section of Options "Metadata in files are removed using custom code and TagLib with ExifTool as fallback. * There is no way to guarante that all metadata will be completely removed from a file."

>>5225
I will look into a way to make Base64 strings/urls not turn into header, or a fallback that works as a workaround. As of now sadly there is no good workaround (that won't break links.
One way you can do it is to add a empty bold or spoiler etc. in between the equal signs =[ b ][ /b ]= (without spaces) and you can make them that way Base64== Base64==

>>5226
>based admin actually responds with an answer to my question
thanks. I'm starting to like it here

Someone is necroing old threads on /mlpol/ and I am not sure why. Looks like a slide attempt.

>>5228
Yeah, I just came home and the catalog is a mess.

>>5228
It was not a slide attempt, it was a newfag who didnt know that all ips are encrypted on mlpol, such that not even staff can determine a user's info. Its an understandable concern, but it has been addressed. At least, the necrobumping has, I neglected to mention the encryption. I hadn't made that connection at that point.
A bit of bad form, but nothing warranting deletions or anything.

I just read that there's a weekly Friday movie night, with MLP episodes afterwards. I would like to tune in to this.

What are the details I need to know to get in to the stream and group chat?

>>5269
The current medium for movies is Bitwave.tv, although Kast is being looked into as an alternative platform.
>>>/mlpol/265636 →

>>5273
>although Kast is being looked into as an alternative platform.
Nope for us.
Politically, Kast is full zog company, see pic 1.
Additionally, that company wants total control over the user's browser by forcing to use exclusively Microsoft and Google browsers. See pic 2.

>>5269
Stream is every Friday at 6:30 PST, I post the link along with what movies we watch in the thread that >>5273 links to.

>>5274
The deeper I've looked into Kast the less confidence I have that it will be viable for us, plus I couldn't get it to work with my streaming software. So for the foreseeable future we'll continue using Bitwave.

>>4126
Can the staff delete ALL my posts if i request it?

>>5301
The short answer is yes, though 'why' is a definite consideration as to whether that request is obliged

>>5302
I can't delete older posts of mine so i would rather have every post deleted and thread throughout every board, if you would do that for me then thanks.
>Why?
I have my reasons, one of which is that my time here was well spent although i think it's time to pack up my bags and leave along with my posts.

I might return at some point but i don't want to leave my mark upon the site while i ponder my decisions.

>>5303
>I have my reasons
>along with my posts
With all due respect, requests of that sort (vague and unsubstantiated) have been declined in past. It will be discussed tho

>>5305
>It will be discussed tho
Well, what do you want to know?

>>5306
I'll give you an example:
Some time ago an artfag who had posted several works requested their removal, as he wanted no further connection to the site (this was in the early part of the derpi debacle iirc). He was declined.
Again no offense, but maintaining pw's is the user's responsibility and even if the pw is retained, threads cant be deleted except by staff to preserve any/all replies to the thread.
The internet is forever fren

>>5307
Would you be able to locate those posts and report them?

>>5309
The posts in the paranormal thread and the get it off your chest thread, they are the most revealing.

>>5310
Specifically the ones on /vx/ and /üb/, the ones on the other boards aren't really important.

>>5310
>>5311
It's far easier to delete all posts than it is to identify and delete specific posts (especially without knowing what you feel is self doxxing), unless you're willing to report the posts in question

>>5313
I reported them.

>>5315
Men doku sei,....

>>5316
Please?

>>5315
Well, after reviewing the posts in question, the images and videos can be easily removed without compromising the integrity of the discussions. Would that be sufficient?
I never noticed the spoiler at the bottom of one of the /ub/ posts. I got unironically choked up, no homo <3

>>5318
>Would that be sufficient?
Yes, it would.
No homo.

>>5319
It's done ^_^

>>5320
Thank you anon.
Thought Antifa was gonna catch me fucking ponies once and for all.

>>5321
YW, it's what we're here for

>>5323
You deserve a medal.

Why is there no dedicated pone discussion board? I understnad the point of mlpol but I dont really see the bandwagon effect of getting pony lovers on board without a place they can go to keep their generals in easy reach. I like the idea of pone discussion happening in pol but gore, political horror, and etc dont really mesh well with comfey equestrian fantasy >green

>>5325
>Why is there no dedicated pone discussion board?
Answer: --->
>I understnad the point of mlpol

>>5325
Hello newfren. The answers you seek are prominently displayed on the policy page at the top

>>5326
So basically fuck anyone that likes ponies and creates oc.
why are you guys like this?
>>5327
If you're talking about /pol/ generals that's understandable, but not only is what I'm talking about a whole different board, the purpose of the generals makes sense, it's there to create small communities who will act as audiances for the posting of >green., and a repository for previous green that can be easily shared for new users. I think generals are kind of shit, but without them you don't get this kind of regular content, not ever.

Without this drip feed of OC, /mlp/ would have died years ago.

>>5328
>fuck anyone that likes ponies and creates oc
Easy there tiger, that's not what anon said. Its Hearth's Warming, so I'll spoonfeed.
A separate /pone/ board would be redundant. The first (third) rule addresses the permissibility of greens, oc, etc in letter and in spirit. If anons want ponies without any politics, /mlp/ is still a thing, as well as plenty of other boards and sites.
But /mlp/ went off the rails long ago, and rules 9/11 (inside jeorb!) address that too, specifically targeting the redundant nature of /mlp/. The desire of those who came from 4chan - not exclusively those who founded and developed /mlpol/ - was to eliminate or restrict that redundancy as much as equinely possible. In fact, theres an argument to be made that the overwhelming majority of 4chan (across the boards) is redundant; if one wants redundancy those places still exist too.
/mlpol/ is not those places. This isnt to say that none of /mlpol/ is redundant, but a decided effort is made to minimize its redundancy.
Ponies and politics is a very niche interest group that isnt for everyone. Everyone is welcome (barring anons who behave unacceptably), but not everyone wants to be here and the site is specifically not trying to cater to everyone, and (no offense) especially not those who want to change the board/culture/spiritwithout grasping it first and participating participating in and around second.

That last statement is not a quip, it's to address the fact that plenty of anons over the past few years have attempted those things; it's not an insinuation that that's what you're doing.

>>5325
The /mlpol/ board is slow enough that any general is not likely to fall off the board, and will remain in the first few pages provided there is at least some activity in the thread/general. We've hosted Anonfilly for three years now, and have had OC production threads and many pony threads before. We still do. /mlpol/ is for ponies and politics both. If you happen to be a fan of one but not the other, make a thread for what you are interested in.

>pone discussion doesn't go well with gore and political horror
You could just as easily say "my thread doesn't go well next to inflation threads/slave pony general/whatever other thread coexists in the /mlp/ catalog that I don't like." It's rather silly to complain about the existence of other threads in the catalog you will never read, because you weren't going to click on them anyways. Furthermore, we don't have gore on /mlpol/, and if any exists it's in tiny corners.

>>5331
>>5329
I typed out a bunch of shit but I deleted most of it because I just cant fucking understand this on a conceptual level, even if it makes sense. You guys are just genuinely okay with 4chan as it is and dont care or want to provide any kind of alternative to it... To me this whole topic was brought up because 4chan has gotten horrible, and 8chan was executed. this board isnt part of smuglo.li so its afaik the only place where a viable mlp alternative could exist. But if I'm reading you right you guys are completely fine with the absolutelly pozzed way mlp is and choose not to offer any service that would potentially overlap it....

>>5332
>okay with 4chan as it is
Hell nah, we didnt leave JUST cuz 4/mlpol/ was kill
>dont care or want to provide an alternative
Uh, you're looking at it
>4chan has gotten horrible
No contest
>8chan
Likewise
Anon, what we are offering here is an /mlp/ (and /pol/)alternative but with good reason, all of /mlp/ is not desired. There is a line, and while I certainly dont speak for everyone, we feel that /mlp/ crossed it long ago. There are a number of (((agendas))) that are quite permissible to promote on /mlp/, for starters (trannies, gays, etc). It isnt that no one is allowed to be trans or gay on /mlpol/, but the normalization and promotion of those agendas will be thoroughly btfo if they arise. Those are only two examples.
Though it wasnt referenced, there are plenty of elements of /pol/ that will not be tolerated on /mlpol/. The key concept of 'alternative' is that it isnt the same, nor is trying to be. There are elements of both, but there is also a very necessary filtering of the elements of both which - your words, not mine - caused 4chan to become horrible even before their mods became adversarial and shills of every variety were granted largesse.
IF there were to be a /pone/ board, it would come of necessity and mass demand, because the resources already available had proven insufficient.
4/mlpol/ was a beautiful thing and it taught many invaluable lessons about friendship. A separate /pone/ board would do a disservice to that legacy.
You're effectively saying "Yeah, ponies and politics are alright, but wouldnt it be great if it was JUST ponies (and thereby JUST politics)?"
If that were to occur (and if I were in Vegas, that's not where my money would be), it's a very long way off at best.

>>5332
I fail to understand what you want on a "pony discussion only board" that is impossible on a "pony and political discussion board." In what way is /mlpol/, and specifically the board /mlpol/, too much like 4chan's /mlp/?

>>5333

No those are your words. I don't see any problem with free speech. I consider it a severe problem to quash dissenting opinions. The reason 4chan is so fucked is because they have been bought by the deep state and actively use moderation to silence the websites natural immune system.
>You are basically saying that
Two can play at this false dichotemy. You are effectively saying /mlpol/ has no appeal if both /pol/ and /mlp/ exist separately.
The idea is not a dedicated pone board, but a dedicated green board. I'd appreciate it if you didn't swerve on what I'm even suggesting and bringing up this shit.
>>5334
The other person was suggesting that you don't want any boards that would overlap with mlp. You didn't seem to be disagreeing.
As for what it can do that mlpol doesn't do; I already said as much, capture the remaining mlp audience. Most are quite tired of mods and jewish bullshit, they just want high post counts and to use it as a refuge from black pills. Nevermind the general rule. If you two purposely can't understand that, or can and just don't want to, I won't further push. I never expected to get my way as is.

>>5335

>You didn't seem to be disagreeing.
>You two
Frankly, I am not reading the other poster's posts. His words are his own, and my words are my own. I am not working in concert or against his words. I do not know what he tells you, and I am not here to back or oppose his words.

>>5335
If you want dedicated green threads you can do it! I know you can. It can be right here on /mlpol/ it doesn't require a whole 'nother board. The boards already here capture a wide array of interests. Dedicated greentext is a nice thing,
We have writefag threads, on multiple parts here. If you think it can be done then do it. The Rust Shackleford thread green is great.
I'm not seeing that necessity. There exists filtering amd what have you here. Nearly all posts aren't nigger tier. Expending outside of one's comfort zone is good in the right places.
You know who makes greens (You) do. I've seen it with my own eyes. A subpar doughy thread without the heart and soul of Anons simply won't last. /mlp/ have been going through a routine it's a familiar one, but that isn't needed here. If anyone has a damn good post it'll be seen by everyone and as a pinnacle of content.
/mlpol/ has both and are not mutually exclusive, and is better from this synthesis. Two seemingly polar sides from a far away perspective, but the common ground is so near and dear and so similar are the core both complement the other.
>>Anonfilly
Then you haven't delved deep enough into the threads. Into the psyche of what it means.

thats fair. I thought it strange to see responses in an official capacity as it is and I know it can be a tricky balance.
>>5337
>if you want
You're now transcending to deliberately missing the point.
Again, this is to capture a type of user who isnt interested posting on /mlpol/ but is interested in getting away from 4chan.
>Then you haven't delved deep enough into the threads. Into the psyche of what it means.
I was a regular before they where shoaed. I know how both the people in the thread acted and the board as a whole did. It and tf are the tranny laughing stock of the board.
>You can always be the change you want to see
Competing against this site isn't something I am interested in doing but it's always an option I know. maybe when I know about more about server hosting and have some cashflow. /mlp/ needs a home away from the (((mods))). weather you like or not, care or not, its never going to be directly mixed with political news. That is a based idea but it does not appeal to every horsefucker.

>>5338
Hard times make strange bedfellows. This is my second post in relation to this discussion.
>Competing against this site isn't something I am interested in doing
I'm saying post the /mlp/ part of /mlpol/ here.
4chan is by all means technically not dead, and there is still the apolitical here. All I am saying is make a thread on /mlpol/ the board and that's all.
>4chan refugees and the 'nonexistent' alternative
That's what /mlpol/ is, transcending the trappings of moot and gook moot and the murky depths.
>I was a regular before they where shoaed. I know how both the people in the thread acted and the board as a whole did. It and tf are the tranny laughing stock of the board.
All I know is /mlpol/ Anonfilly, and the archived greens right here.
For general 4chan users this has the boards to handle nearly every topic. The demand for a /po/ origami can be squished with /mlpol/'s /a/, maybe /vx/ and music can be analyzed posted in /üb/ or /mlpol/, /vx/, even /cyb/ if applicable.
I'm not seeing the issue. If politics is the issue then the whole point is for discussion and points to be made. If someone doesn't even want to confront that then so be it, but it'll be there for those that take notice.
Plus there is one thing 4chan doesn't have.
/sp/ praise Football.

>>5335
>anonfilly is tranny related
>pic related
Please, point to me where in the anonfilly material (here) there's a tranny-promotion agenda. Go ahead, I'll wait.
>no those are your words
Gaslighting. Go back and see who said it first. I said off the rails, you're welcome to argue that point but now you're being either deliberately or subconsciously disingenuous.
>You are effectively saying /mlpol/ has no appeal if both /pol/ and /mlp/ exist separately
Not at all. I'm saying if /mlp/ and /pol/ exist separately, its NOT /mlpol/. If you want them separate, theres always 4chan and other sites.
>a dedicated green board
Oh, cuz that's not asinine at all
>>5337
This dude gets it
>>5338
>nuh uh, I saw stuff on 4chan
THIS ISNT 4CHAN
I've been monitoring /filly/ since they migrated. Whether the fillies are trannies or not, they're not pushing an agenda. Unless you want to insinuate that it's a tranny htp (that's human to pony, since you seem a bit slow) agenda, which is absurd on its face.
>it does not appeal to every horsefucker
Bingo

>>5339
>I'm saying post the /mlp/ part of /mlpol/ here.
That is indeed the problem, you are saying but you aren't listening.
>that's what mlpol is
It isn't, by vote of the majority of mlp not being here.
>All I know is the stuff of anon filly right here
The opening thread talks about wishing to be the little filly, ie the old wishing to be the little girl. It's not exactly cryptic. No one there is dumb enough to shill for actually trans right bullshit, but there is a difference between not being a political demagogue and being a healthy heterosexual male with a firm identity.

>if politics is the issue then they should just argue
Why would they argue? they would just continue to live happily in their concentration camp on mlp. no matter how you may wish it was different, these people are not soldiers. they can lend us aid, and we can shelter them in return from tyranny, but what they want is something you/this board is refusing to sell them, and so far the only one who is doing so, 4chan, is deliberately taking advantage of that monopoly.

You may refuse to on any grounds you like, but the issue is not with me, I am not "refusing to see the light", you are refusing to cast it on a whole group of people who are in darkness. If you can be satisfied with that then be my guess, but don't look at me as if me posting some green will magically make political threads appeal to the vast majority of users.
>>5341

>point me in the direction of the propaganda.
Nice goalpost moving. define what you even mean by propaganda, because it's obvious to every casual observer without a hint of an agenda and dog in the fight would find a lot in common with people fantasizing about being a sexed up 9-12 year old filly with trannies. If you want to split hairs around this definition like a jew you wont find a partner in me. Name your requirements blatantly. I'll wait.

>not at all
yes that is exactly what you bring up every single time.
>You can always use the other sites
You are literally arguing at this point against admitting you don't want to offer any overlaping service to these boards and then blatantly admitting that is your desired intention not to do so.
Sorry but this is the final straw. I wish this board had Id's but even without them I will do my best not to read any more jewish tripe from your posting. It should be obvious to anyone that your only goal in this topic is to get into an entirely unessiary shit fit because admitting to the no frills truth hurts your ego. You cant bare to admit it from a position of openness and integrity so you hide behind the tactics of a jew after I had laid down my arms and just asked my piece openly in the first place. Go fuck yourself.

>>5343
How many times are you gonna deliberately (this many times it cant be unintentional) misquote, misinterpret, or gaslight posters?
I hope the fact that you mention moving goalposts isnt lost on anyone. You obviously have an axe to grind, and your posting history suggests that you're either a newfag or using a VPN. In either case you really need to lurk moar if you think that what the majority of 4/mlp/ wants/thinks about /mlpol/ counts for shit.
No one is stopping anyone from posting greens except for the posters themselves. No, we're not making a board exclusively for greens. Deal with it.
You're entitled to whatever delusions you're interested in entertaining, but the evidence is overwhelming in spite of your refusal to acknowledge and admit it, and psychological transference will do you no good in the long run.
>this is the final straw
Cry more you turbo giga nigger faggot.

>>5343
What is the whole point of this then?
That I in my generous glorious self shall enlighten those poor deluded fools or something by force? People don't like being directly herded.
I'm saying as a product and service /mlpol/ has everything. I'm also saying that they don't want a tatse of /mlpol/ because it has features to weed out malicious posts.
/mlpol/ has conducted fishing expeditions, advertising campaigns if you will. 80% of 4chan /mlp/ didn't want that and are still content with that is there right now.
As a product they find the featuress of /mlpol/ distasteful, it narrows down personality types and other factors. /mlpol/ is self enhancing.
If they wanted just 4chan but without the administration abuse that's fine, but those that left have. To various chans.
4chan is getting an influx of 'free' advertising from the general populace. The quality and userbase is shifting like demographics and importing from shit holes.
A big broadcasted image board that is set up to be an 'alternative' or successor to 4chan have met ends.
>these people are not soldiers. they can lend us aid, and we can shelter them in return from tyranny,
>lend us aid
How so? In what way? If they wanted to enter they could freely, even at personal expense to the admin team here.

You guys are just genuinely okay with 4chan as it is and dont care or want to provide any kind of alternative to it... To me this whole topic was brought up because 4chan has gotten horrible, and 8chan was executed. this board isnt part of smuglo.li so its afaik the only place where a viable mlp alternative could exist. But if I'm reading you right you guys are completely fine with the absolutelly pozzed way mlp is and choose not to offer any service that would potentially overlap it....

>glimmerniggerselfboop.jpg
the fact that this wasnt your collective simple reply, let alone something more polite given the fact I was taking pains to, but a bunch of contrived bullshit about how /mlpol/ really could serve the purpose of attracting posters that really obviously aren't attracted to it, is all the evidence anyone with a brain in their skull needs to realize you're the one full of shit here, not me. Your house, your rules, you don't need to justify anything, but for the past what I dunno, 5 reply chains, all I've gotten was a sea of posturijng when any of you could have just said

>m-muh vpn
It honestly severely disappoints me that you think I do this. On an administrative level, seeing you work to purge this place of javascript for people who want it that way, I'd expect better than this kind of bullshit. But then hey, you have a pinned thread telling people to install unsecure web browsers. Maybe I am giving you too much credit, but I wanted to believe you where smarter than this.

He asked a question, didnt like or agree with the answer, tried gaslighting and manipulation, got btfo, and now hes trying to tell how the conversation 'should' have gone (cuz he's in that position, doncha know).
You make an interesting point though, this has gotten way out of hand. This fag has gotten his answer, so that should be that.
Should
He thinks all the posts he linked were mine. Hes half right

If you're reading this newfag, you really ought to start a thread since continuing here would serve to derail this thread into a discussion thread, which it's not intended to be
But srsly, lurk moar

>>5352
Thanks for the explanation!

Sooooo in short the guy was asking for a only pony board right? Even though you can simply just make a pony thread on /mlpol/. Sure its mix with politics but individual threads dont have to be. Dont know whats so hard to understand about that.

>>5352
>backpeddle
literally delusional, no backpeddling was done by anyone other than you fags. All I did was ask a simple question, see >>5346 once more for how it could have been answered.
>>5354
The goal of it is to capture the rest of the mlp audiance who would actually be bothered. Inbetween sucking copious ammounts of dick though, ninja already said no.

>>5355
I think the fear is that creating a /pone/ board will spread out the users and end up with two really slow boards. /overboard/ can probably alleviate this a bit, but /mlpol/ don't have the biggest userbase and creating a /pone/ board might be a gamble that could end up in even slower participation if it don't pan out.

>>5355
Ahem
>>5349

But you got one thing right. This discussion is over.
Make a thread. This is for meta questions that dont deserve their own thread.

>>5325
>>5354
>there no dedicated pone discussion board
But there is! On /mlpol/, both /pol/ and /mlp/ are on topic. Creating more boards would divide the community and no one wants Reddit or 4cuck here. Imo, /mlpol/ acts as kind of filter that keeps jews and Reddit/4cuck out.

Was thinking of making a fully encompassing Fit thread on ub and a table top thread on vx is that a good idea? I dont see any right now but i might have just not seen it.

Which mod gets all the mares?

>>5403
Me.

What kind of hardware does mlpol run on?

>>5472
Is it theoretically possible to plug an old smartphone in to a charger and use that to host a website?

Using things like the carrier's internet connection and the phones internal memory, I imagine it would be able to host an imageboard. Not one with a lot of traffic, I'm sure.

That might be a stupid tech question, but in my defense, it's past 3am.

>>5473
Technically yes. Theoretically doing it is the thing though.
That can be done with any hardware with an internet connection and somewhere to store data, and a degree of cpu/ram to handle the server side software of things.
There are also mesh networks and other stuff too.
If they see large data being passed through that is too big to be movies or porn cutting the connection outright would be cheaper for them. It's sending AND recieving, issue is the wide array of connections going to it as a hub of sorts.

What if there were two spoiler tags, one for jokey ironic spoilers that don't actually spoil aything and one for genuine spoilers related to books/shows/movies/whatever? Ironic Spoilers could be a light greyish colour to distinguish it from real black spoilers. Right now when you see a post with a spoiler tag you never know if it will say something funny or a genuine spoiler.

>>5907
Then anons would use them interchangeably and you would be back to square one. Context is usually how you can pick out what is spoilers for something or if you ought not reveal what is hidden.

>>5908
You're right.
Come to think of it, what if you could spoiler-tag text with any colour you want? Then pixel art could be drawn in coloured spoilered text blocks.

Would a toggleble semi persistant quickreply (or thread creation) be secure?
Because I'm too much of a fuck up right now I burned another hour's worth over thinking putting super sexy and hoers pussy, and then accidentally'ed the whole thread post.

>>5910
Multicoloured spoiler text blocks could be used however anyone wants without any unified standard of colour coding like "pink spoilers means joke spoilers and black spoilers means real ones". As long as there's no option to make spoilered text blend into the default post background any colour is good. Nice bright colours would be best for pixel art.

>>staff
Can you add a colour code function to make text cycle loopingly through all the different colours of the rainbow at max saturation, so someone could write something in colour-changing text that's like a rainbow gaming keyboard's colour changing letters?

Are randomly generated salts used in the hashing of passwords, and if that is not the case, would that be something that could please be retroactively or non-retroactively introduced to the shadow file, assuming there is one of those?

>>6181
Based Pupper. i like the New Colors. Would it be possible to be able to Embed Archive.org links?

>>6220
Not a mod or anything, but I can say that you can't retroactively salt hashes

>>6223
Good catch, I didn't think of that one until after I had already posted it.

>>6220
I assume you talk about the passwords used to create posts. As for now the password used to create posts are not hashed or salted (identical to how it was in vichan/NPFChan). But I can always look into changing that to the code.
One of the cons to doing it this way is that it will make it hard for us to protect against posts being deleted by others, by manually changing them in the database, if people accidentally post screenshots of the password used to make posts (only happened once so far). It would prevent me from changing a specific password and instead I would have to do it for all posts by IP. And the password is not something super critical security issue as it is only used by users if they want to delete the post they made.
But there are some pros to this too so I will do some pondering and discuss with other staffs on what they feel is best.

So summed up the disadvantage if hashing and seeding is that:
* hard to change a single password if accidentally posted screenshot of it
But the advantage hashing and seeding is that:
* If database is leaked no one can delete posts using the password seen in the leak

But I will do some thinking and see if there is a middle way of only doing hashing which would protect against leak and also make it possible to change single passwords (hash).

>>6226
>I assume you talk about the passwords used to create posts.
Yes, that's what I meant to say.

I would certainly not like to speak out of turn, and will respect any decisions made by staff, however if I may I'd like to make a brief case for salting and hashing passwords that the moderation team may use as a reference of the opinion of an anon within in the community during their deliberations.
The reason the topic of salted hashes has been brought up was due mainly to the effect, should the password file wind up in the wrong hands, not be able to ID a poster based upon their password; for those maybe not as well versed in how salts or hashing works, basically, as the original password is passed through a hash function, come out as what looks like gibberish on the other side, and any change whatsoever in the original password, be it as small as a single flipped bit, will completely change the outcome of the string on the other side of the hash, effectively scrambling the passwords such that they're not able to be compared to other posts to find someone that's been presumably using the same password to post across the site, and if they were hashed an attacker with the password file would also not be able to go and launch an attack and delete a lot of posts from all kinds of anons all at once, just for an added layer of security practice.
As for deletion of posts with a leaked password, I myself am of the opinion that I don't really mind altogether too much if someone deletes a post of mine should a password be accidentally leaked; it'd be a sacrifice that I think could be worthy, for the added bit of security as a whole.

Cheers.

how do we get rid of the flat earthers? I'd rather our community not be associated with their ilk, especially since we're supposed to be a place for intelligent discussion. Also, why are they suddenly showing up on our site? Are (((they))) trying to discredit us by pairing us up with a group of retards that (((they))) already control as a form of advanced shilling, or is it just a wandering group of parasites trying to enact mental dysgenics against us to fuel their """"""""""movement""""""""""?

Why doesn't posting .webp images work?

Could every thread made by me just get nuked on /ub/? I know it's difficult to show my IP matching certain posts when I've been damn near all over the state of North Carolina. Frustratingly, I can't even delete my most recent post, even with the password; it just 404s. It has a contact email, and I was intentionally going to baleet it today.

I don't want to be a part of the board, or this site, anymore. It's not that I'm scared some kike or commie will find me, or of any kind of real life consequences. I just give up on everything. Every topic from every thread. Every discussion, every pointless argument I've wasted my effort in losing in disgrace. It's all so tiresome. I am days from drowning in my debt fully, and a week from getting my payday, and I just want to walk away from it all. The last five years was a mistake. If I can't get my fellow autist boyfriend to meet me in the middle and help me out, I'm going to die in this cold. I'd rather have never had any footprint to begin with.

>>6357
I don't know. I've got three layers of thick blankets, long johns and an insulated jacket. They don't help. I got a fulltime and part time job, neither will pay me a red cent until at least next Friday. Even with this work, my wages don't total more than triple of what average rent is here, so I'm not likely to be accepted on my own. I had my car refueled a few days ago by him, so I don't need gas. What I need, nobody here can give me even if they were willing. I need a rental that either costs under $700 or accepts people who make 2k a month or less.

I'm tired of venting because it accomplishes nothing and only worsens my mood. I'm tired of being around other failures because they can't provide anything in the way of help. I'm tired of this belief system I hold because it makes me feel deep shame for the lows I've sunk to. I'm tired of sobriety because it leaves me alone in my car with my thoughts and the cold.

If you are near Fayetteville, NC and willing to risk your anonymity, you could meet me and buy me a drink at Jumpers on S. Reilly. Otherwise, just leave me be. I'll be gone before you know it anyway.

I'd recommend a sleeping bag and candles. Preferably a heating element such as an electric blanket or space heater.
While burning candles in a small confined area is bad if you are going to freeze to death it'll save your life.
Meals are important right now you are the only thing heating up a cold metal box.
Wool works wonders.
Alcohol makes you open up your blood vessels meaing you'll feel warmer, but you're expending more heat.
Also emails have been sent.
Other thing is to ensure the space you are in retains the heat.

You can burn crisco/vegtable shortning. Remember fire is dangerous.
Also sealed hot water can make a difference.

>>6385
Its probably a mix of won't and can't. I mean, for a savvy developer (all other criticisms aside, Pupper IS that) nothing is technically impossible. I mean there might be a way, depending on how many IPs you used and how many post-deletion PWs youve racked up but what you requested would be prohibitively labor intensive and really not serving any purpose other than satisfying you at a down moment.
No offense, but thats really not part of the underlying purpose of the site.
For one, that would remove threads and posts in discussions which would likely fracture and render difficult any later readings of what threads remained. No offense, but 'your feels' do not justify destroying site content.
For two, the only time I can recall staff requestedly removing content is when it accidentally contained doxx or illegal materal; and when I say that, there was an artfag once who requested all his posts/OC be wiped cuz reasons, and the general reception was 'sorry u feel that way but no, lul'. Hope you feel better though
>the ride truly never ends

>>6386
It's alright. No offense taken. I know I've been a dramafag, bordering on sadcow, ever since I started using this site. I guess I felt guilty over the years for providing so little insight or entertainment in exchange for dumping blogposts and drama on people. Not even just here, but Discord, Ponytown, 4mulp, 8mulp...you guys aren't paid enough to be my therapist, so I'll do my best not to burden you with it from now on. Pic related to that though.

Egh. Anyway, I understand I can't just banish the past. It just means that I have to make something good of it or let it fade into obscurity.
>how many IPs you used
Uhhhhh. Let's see. Dad's, grandpa's, mom's, two different phone plans, a broadband plan, at least three dozen separate public wifi sources, my current workplace...all spread out over CA, OR, and NC from 2017 to today. Plus I've phoneposted, laptop-posted, and desktop-posted. So. Yeah. It would be a really convoluted hunt to find every post mentioning homeless life or life in Cali/NC.

It's relevant to his knowledge of the site and its inner workings. I know namefagging is gayer than me, but it has its place. Calm down.

(oops, meant to reply to >6388. But I think I'll rob him of his ( You ) anyway.)

Is there a way to have an audio cue when a thread you have open gets replied to? I like to keep threads in the background while fullscreen gaming and it's good to know when to check them.

Yeah. Cytube has that feature and is pretty handy while watching Movie Night.

Hello everypony.
I was tempted to make a thread, but it doesn't seem worth it for just this so here goes:

It seems like newfags today either don't know or don't bother to archive things and use proper tech, so here's a quick summary on how to post content and link to external sources:

>News articles
>Webpages
archive.today
Using archives prevents click or ad revenue, as well as tracking, the second is a bigger concern since most people use ad-blockers.
Alternatively, screenshot the page and post the entire article as a picture, or better yet, copy and paste it when possible.

>Youtube videos
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=XXXXXXXXX
Invidious is a front-end that allows you to watch youtube videos wthout the extra bullshit, invidious.io has a list of mirrors which you can pick from.
The advantages are that you aren't being tracked by google since the invidous server grabs and serves the video for you. You can download the videos and it is a better interface in general.

Alternatively, upload videos to rubmle.com or bitchute (bitchute censors some videos as it considers hate speech laws and incitement to hatred, etc.)
You can easily download videos from a multitude of webpages with youtube-dl, a command line utility. Same can be done for pictures with gallery-dl.

The reason for that is not to use the kike's websites. To archive a webpage means to link an anon's IP with the archive website. Think about it, if anon has to post an address in /mlpol/ together with the recently archived one, then there is a trace to follow to dox that anon. TOR is fine for to use a couple of times, but not all the time; VPNs are a joke owned by the enemy. So, posting the screenshot is the safest and cleanest way, be for the poster anon as for the reader anons.

>posting the screenshot is the safest and cleanest way
Agreed.

Stupid question, I have some categories for meme categorization by topics, what do you think?

neanderthal hypothesis
jews
holocaust
anon posts
national socialism
great reset
botting/shilling/spamming (JIDF agents spamming talking points and others)
occupy wall street
climate change
pedogate
covid
refugees
homo
anti-whiteness or crt
miscegenation
bolshevism
tranny
gun rights
9-11
modernism
antifa

I am tempted to combine homo and tranny topics into an LGBT topic, but it seems like they're better off separate.

>I am tempted to combine homo and tranny topics into an LGBT topic
Homo/tranny belongs to the "homosexuality" topic as it refers to a mental illness or aberration.
LGBT belongs to the "cultural marxism" topic as it refers to degeneracy used for political motives.

Checking to see if I can link to >>>/test/ from the main board.
https://mlpol.net/Test

>>6513
Huh, I guess that doesn't work.

>>6514
its like this
>>> /Test/(post number)

>>6518
no spaces

>>6518
It doesn't work.

Dont include the parenthesis
>>>/Test/1981 →

>>6525
Oh, it was the capital T that threw me off.
>>>/Test/

>>6527
It’s pointless drama that really has no business being out in the open, not even on test, which is semi public and frequented. In a regular Chan it would slide off the board, and there is no point in keeping an open record of it permanently. That isn’t the purpose of that board.

>>6527
That thread was there less than an hour ago.

>>6528
Glad I saved it then

I deleted that post voluntarily, fyi

>>6528
I wouldn't say a thread having "no purpose" is necessarily cause for deletion if it doesn't break any rules, tbh.
