I see I have introduced a bug with diceroll so rolls are not made. Will fix it soon. Sorry for inconvenience. [1d10]

Hello Pupper, I've encountered a bug that appears when I open a link in a new tab. When I do so the options that I've selected seem to disappear, but only when I do that. If I click on a link normally all the options stay. It seems to only be occurring with Firefox, it kept the options intact with Pale Moon.

>>5915
Is this specific options or all options?
I did quick test on FireFox and was not able to reproduce it. Did some simple option changes (theme change, embed links, etc.) and custom css which all carried over when opening up a new tab.
Do you have any plugins that sandboxes tabs or similar on FireFox?

>>5916
>Is this specific options or all options?
All of them.

>Do you have any plugins that sandboxes tabs or similar on FireFox?
That's most likely it, I've got a lot of security-minded options changed in about:config so it would the appear to be more on my end. Apologies, and thanks for the quick response. Maybe I can tool around with it sooner or later and see if I get the same error.

Thinking about doing a little server maintenance tomorrow so there might be a short downtime at one point, but hopefully it won't last long (hopefully at most a few minutes). Nothing is set in stone regarding maintenance, but just a little heads up in case I find time to do it.

>>5998
Any word on a new and accurate policy?
checkem

>>5998
Thanks for the heads up

I'm just trying to clarify, is that a 'no' on making an accurate, consistent, and enforceable policy?
It's fine, I am just looking for clarification if possible.
Do users and staff have any actual guidelines? Is there any standard, or is there a very deliberate double-standard (meaning, who 'we' like and who 'we' dont like)?

Wrong thread newfag.

>>6001
Nigger, will you piss off already? Derailing other threads is not going to get you what you want. Make a new thread, ffs.

>>6003
Well, being as last time I got banned and shit, pardon me for refusing your 'good graces'
A shame, when carefully obfuscated wrongdoings are given the light of day. Oh, but not for me!

>>6004
>when carefully obfuscated wrongdoings are given the light of day
Projecting much? Hah?

>>6005
Lol, havent checked /qa/ much?

Can there be a function to "Favourite" threads, always seeing them at the top of the site over your non-favourite threads whether they were recently posted in or not?

>>6004
I don't care what you got banned for. Stop shitting up every other thread. The rest of us are trying to be productive here, and getting derailed isn't helpful.

>>6007
Did we ever have the option to watch threads on this site? I might be imagining it, but I feel like I had threads I was watching years ago.

>>6008
So your solution is to ignore the issue and hope it goes away? Yeah, that's staff's solution too
>>6009
Yes, watched threads was a thing in the old code

>>6011
Wtf are you talking about? Post links plz

>>6011
>So your solution is to ignore the issue and hope it goes away?
The issue is in your head. With professional help and a bit of luck you might overcome your obsession.

>>6013
>textbook narcissistic gaslighting
>>6012
Check the /qa/ rules and policy threads

>>6007
I will look into adding this functionality to the code. I will have to do some experimenting on how to best implement it as I never used the watchlist myself. But making it so the selected threads gets on top of board pages and overboard is not a bad idea, just have to find a way to make it work in a good way.

>>6011
So your solution is to shitpost aimlessly and disrupt other people's conversations until it somehow goes your way?
Great job. I'm sure that will work.

>>6017
You can advise a better strategy than sunlight as a disinfectant?

>>6018
Politely.

>>6018
You've been doing this for weeks and you've failed to produce any results other than pissing everyone off. It's not working.

>>6018
>>6019
>>6020
Not pissing me off due to below resons.
Fucking lost an hours worth of carefully crafted words.
There's two different view points.
One is in the trees the other is the extremely wide forest.
This place is built on an honor systems, because of trust.
At the moment everything is fine. And it's ONLY fine.
The whole place is democracy based (without someone akin to Atlas) so it takes forever for anything is occur based on policy and rules.
Those rules are a mere formality that everyone is on the same page and is honoring everyone else and is respecting the trust by everybody.
Discipline means jack except in extremes, and due to the speed and amount of users. Which is a large amount /mlpol/ vets. Losing someone on a site of this size hurts enough to be felt.

You're both antagonizing eachother and it's basically fixed with talking, friendship, and some shitposting. Mostly the first two.
So you're in a deadlock because he doesn't know what's going on and has heard jack and seen nothing done on the policy page for the honor contract shit.
Nothing's happening 'cause on the day to day staff wise nothing is and has happened.
The perspectives have to be flipped so a proactive approach would be more valuable.

That's an opinion and speculation.

No need. Everything is fine.

Aaaah, that eternal pessimist.

Again poner, relax, friendship will prevail.

>>6024
Not my post actually, I was citing it to suggest that theres more perspectives than mine, the people touting friendship while telling me to kill myself which totally isnt staff btw, and the
>pic related
This could have been resolved years ago, simply by making the words in the policy page true. Whether means amending the policy OR adhering to it IDGAF. And no, 'Nah' isnt an acceptable response.

>>6025
>over the top insistence
>hyper sensible aka thin skinned poster
>unreasonable expectations
>And no, 'Nah' isnt an acceptable response.
Nah.
To keep yourself fixated in a meaningless policy page is absurd. There so much shitposting to make and so many ponies to post.

>>6026
Wait, the policy page really is meaningless? The policy page is supposed to be a place where the staff make promises to the users, promises they intend to keep.

>>6026
Yah dun fucked up

>>6027
>Wait, the policy page really is meaningless?
It is for me, as I do my duties regularly and I do not cause trouble to my fellow poners.
In other words, I'm not a troublemaker and therefore I do not need to check myself or others against the site's policy.

>>6028
The reason why is that there is zero reason not to change the policy page.
So yes it is 'useless' but that's with any given value. Changing it seems like a watse of time and if it is What the fuck is all the fuss about? Like dude it's three lines at most to reflect the new current situation. I understand throwing of invaders, but if it's useless give me a break.
I'll write the damn thing by copy and pasting what's been said in the various threads.
>>6030
Yes, but that's how trouble starts in paradise. Whatever since it doesn't matter I'll just post the 'new and improved' html in the change thread or something later.

>>6025
You know, some of us agree that the policy page needs to be fixed, but you shitting up other threads like an autist is counterproductive.

>>6030
That's a really bluepilled response too though, ngl.
Shitting up threads is one thing, but acting completely complacent is another.
>>6026
The policy page is absolutely meaningful.
>>6018
Shitposts is not exposure. You are absolutely not helping anyone like this

>>6032
I'll be happy to rest my case when the situation is resolved. I've already lost friends and acquaintances over this. Aside from the occasion zing, if you think this is fun for me you can divest yourself of that idea

>>6034
Your shitposting has already effectively derailed threads that were actually about amending the policy page, and plenty others. Don't kneecap other posters' discussions for whatever it is you're trying to do.

>>6035
People want a discussion about the policy page? Sweet, can it happen now?

>>6036
I wanted that. I still want that. I want it done productively.
Make another thread.

could the oekaki tool be updated to take advantage of the emojis as stamps and also dice rolls somehow?

>>6231
I have been trying to look for a better oekaki tool, but been unsuccessful in my searches, but been a while since I last looked. I will do a new search and test out the ones I find; could be that a new search will yield something that is usable, or that I will concede and sit down and try to make something. But making one from scratch is less likely as it probably will take a bit more work than desired, and would result in less paint tools than the current one has.
Not sure what you mean regarding implanting a diceroll into a paint tool.

>>6232
im thinking that perhaps it would work by you placing a dice roll on the regular post box and then being able to tie the results of that roll to a "stamp"(more like placeholder) that you can place on the oekaki, and when you make the post it rolls and places the result both on the oekaki and the text post itself
also being able to quote text from posts and even dice rolls from others in the oekaki might be nice.

>>6233
also i think that the dice placeholder should be automatically always on top in case people try to fudge the roll somehow

>>6234
4chan's /i/ uses https://github.com/desuwa/tegaki it has:
drawing size from 1x1 to 9999x9999(or at least that is what 4chan allows)
replay animation
50% 100% 200% 400% 800% 1600% zooms
3 pages of colors(no more, not even custom input)
brush size from 1 to 64 pixels
opacity from 0 to 100
add layer, remove layer, merge layers, move layer up, move layer down
25 layer limit, numbers start at 1, not 0(you might want to change that)
new image button that asks width and height of the new pic
open image button that allows you to open images and draw on them
export button that allows you to save the image directly without posting and then saving the result
undo button(also doable with ctrl+z), redo button(also doable with ctrl+y)
close button, finish button
pressure control of size and/or opacity option
preserve alpha option
pencil, pen, airbrush, bucket, tone, pipette, blur, eraser
indicator of it recording the replay

you currently have https://github.com/websanova/wPaint which has:
undo button, redo button, clear button
rectangle and elipse tools(tegaki does not have this)
line and pencil
text imput(tegaki CERTAINLY does not have this)
eraser, bucket
bucket color picker, stroke with selector from 1 to 10, color picker for everything else
if you are to tweak one of them, id go with tweaking tegaki by adding the few tools from wPaint that tegaki lacks.

testing a few things
[1d1-99999 = -99998]
[-1d1]

>>6259
>[diceroll]
intardesting...
[diceroll]what im saying by that post is that you should add negative dices, see exotic weapon part of pic, although even is there where no system that utilized negative rolls, having it would be a really neat feature of the system making it capable to go to a minimum of -1999998... i think[/diceroll]
oh and [1d0 = 1] [diceroll]0d1=0{}[/diceroll] [diceroll]0d0=0{}[/diceroll] [1d1+0 = 1] [1d1-0 = 1] [1d1 = 1] [1d1-1 = 0] [1d1-2 = -1] testing some more

>>6260
huh, the [diceroll][/diceroll] can't be inputted manually, neat anticheat
and by my newer tests it seems your system isn't happy displaying 0 as a result of 0 dices and also not that euphoric to show negative values, which in my opinion ought to be inputted as [-1d1] and shown as *dice pic*[-1d1 = -1]... perhaps in blue(000088)?
mainly due to the positive=red, negative=blue that magnets have, and the following quite likely will be read as dumb, but could you make it so that either/and a [0d*any number here*(with perhaps a + or -999999)] or a result of 0 has the color 008800?
im mainly saying this because if + is 880000 and - is 000088 that leaves 008800 unused, and that slightly bothers me, but its completely fine if you don't... and to sound greedy on top of dumb(although im quite certain that i have gone WELL beyond the line of what is palatable to request with the following), how about a completely random dice? as in random +/- dice amount, dice digit and +/-0 to 999999 with the rainbow shift of >>6180 as it's color? as for the syntax, how about [rdr&r](which could stand for RainbowDashRoll) and the obvious variants of [rd1&1], [1dr&1], [1d1&r], [rdr&1], [rd1&r], [1dr&r])?, the "&" is to randomize the addition or subtraction since [rdr+r] or [rdr-r] might be wanted, and to be fancy the 6 variants that aren't [rdr&r] could have color shifts based on the other mane 6(+spike?),
and the other 47 variants(iv'e counted them and put them out in a diagram, im sorry) could have color shifts based on other ponies(perhaps 7 of them to the filly gang+little league????)
here is the full unique random dice combination diagram, again sorry for letting my stupidity flow
[rdr&r], [rd1&1], [1dr&1], [1d1&r], [rdr&1], [rd1&r], [1dr&r]
[rdr+r], [rd1+1], [1dr+1], [1d1+r], [rdr+1], [rd1+r], [1dr+r]
[rdr-r], [rd1-1], [1dr-1], [1d1-r], [rdr-1], [rd1-r], [1dr-r]
[+rdr&r], [+rd1&1], , , [+rdr&1], [+rd1&r]
[-rdr&r], [-rd1&1], [-1dr&1], [-1d1&r], [-rdr&1], [-rd1&r], [-1dr&r]
[+rdr+r], [+rd1+1], , , [+rdr+1], [+rd1+r]
[+rdr-r], [+rd1-1], , , [+rdr-1], [+rd1-r]
[-rdr+r], [-rd1+1], [-1dr+1], [-1d1+r], [-rdr+1], [-rd1+r], [-1dr+r]
[-rdr-r], [-rd1-1], [-1dr-1], [-1d1-r], [-rdr-1], [-rd1-r], [-1dr-r]
the 9 "missing" are because it's as unnecessary to mark a regular number of dices as positive as it is to add the random dice, if i'm honest, but i might as well request.

>>6260
>>6261
Yep I see there is a bug in the dice system when it comes to displaying negative results, and that a dice roll of zero dices should not be performed. I'll look into the other portions regarding dicerolls you mention, but have to read it more thoroughly.
Thanks for doing the testing and finding the bug. I will fix and update the code so negative dice rolls also shows up.

>>6262
>and that a dice roll of zero dices should not be performed
i think it should, but it should always spit zero... or perhaps to give it utility, it could spit out some random phrases based on taking the 0 as a one(so only one phrase) and taking the dn+/-N as variables(which could be "r", [0dr&r], etc etc...) and -0 could be sad/gloomy/negative phrases, this also jives well with my request of making it (008800)green, since you know:
>green
this could in turn be taken as a more useful(?) version of the fortune option of 4chan's /s4s/, although me mentioning that might have just made the idea look to you as a "definitely hard pass, if anything perhaps(P.E.R.H.A.P.S) the always 0, but no random phrases, we want zero to none spammadge, thank you very much"
or just to be silly: 0d/-0d(regardless of the other parameters on the roll)= 0 and -0 respectively, and 00d/-00d is the phrase thing(which i might add, both the green color and 0/00 thing would put them in line with an american roulette in terms of aesthetic)
ALSO: i saw that over at 8chan.moe they don't have an oekaki tool, and so after making the request here(>>6231 its me) i made an as poorly written as >>6231 request on there(https://8chan.moe/site/res/134.html#3194)
then later i wrote https://8chan.moe/site/res/134.html#q3213 a more thorough version of >>6235, you might want to check it
for among the things i requested over there is for the moe devmod to get in contact with you so that you can work together on the oekaki tool instead of ether of you having to do it by themselves, that being said he will be occupied with the 2.6 update for a while, so you should talk to him and see when he is available
oh and according to both the 8moe devmod and wolfram alpha 1d0 should give 0 as the answer(https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1+0+face+dice+roll+chance), currently does [1d0 = 1] that being said wolfram doesn't give me anything for 0d(says the number of dice should be a positive integer), i'd still say the result should be zero though because you are rolling zero sided nothing(which only different from a zero sided something by the fact that is nothing, it is still 0 sided)
[16d0 = 16] [1d1+1 = 2] [2d1 = 2] and a few tests i did on moe but not here
...and a few more things that just came to my mind:
could you add the shift JIS art font and the [aa][/aa] selector?(either with the Mona or MS PGothic(ＭＳ Ｐゴシック) fonts(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_(font))), and remember that the line height should be 1.1 on the css for the [aa] rule(at least that is how 8moe has it configured)
a selector [wolf][/wolf] that applies the wolfentsein font to the text with the color 4D5D53(Feldgrau) to be the counterpart of the [doom][/doom] text they have over at 8moe?, and i must say that i would not be opposed to doomtext here as well(i don't lean one way or another for the [moe][/moe] sparkle effect they have there, i mean i don't dislike it but i also wont insist on it being added here)
another selector that changes the text color to 6a1de2 AND shrinks it by the same amount as red text(what you call heading on the help menu) grows it, so reg=1.0em, redtext=1.1em and tinytext=0.9em?(its something 8kun has that here doesn't and since i suggested it on 8kun during the loli fiasco as small text, i see no problem requesting this of you) and id say [t][/t] for tiny text is a good selector
testing (((echoes))) and ///slope\\\(like ((())) but for chinese), and i must say, since you can change the color of the text here, how about also changing the color of its background?(like what those selectors do, at least on 8moe)
testing LaTeX support \LaTeX $$\LaTeX$$ [$]\LaTeX[/$] (i personally think that [$]...[/$] should be the way to go to implement it)
and i think you should link to here trough the ponerpics header(like you do from here to there), although i freely admit that this might be my dumbest request yet
thanks again for your time.

>>6260
Think I got all the bugs with dice roll fixed.
I also added the option to do multiple rolls (up to three rolls).
[2d10-1d6 = (10-4) = 6]

>>6299
neat

I'm not sure if this is really a bug, but Archived threads clutter up the search results. Is there a "Don't show archived threads" option when searching?

>>6315
I will look into adding this option to the search.

>>>/mlpol/322722 →
Just a bug (or a feature) so you know. So it still opens up the post and the good news it doesn't add a post number next to the post in question. The other part of the oddness is that the post retains the colorized underline.
[color #00f[u>>6314[/u[/color
>>6314

>>6325
Thanks for letting me know. I'll look into the error with the post number not being added to "quoted by". It should have been added, but I guess I have made a small oversight in the regex used for adding "quoted by" to posts.

>quoted by
*cited by

This is more of a question regarding of NPFchan. Would mind telling my why did store all the files in the archive table as mediumtext? Because of this, there's no way I can't properly access the uri of the files in that string.
I'm trying to modifying the archive class and how it handles, but without success so far without messing up with previous archived threads.
I really liked how you handled your archive like it was a catalog, but I can't fetch the OP's thumb or even the json of the thread because of the json_scramble. Can you give me a light in the right direction?

>>6331
Been a long time since I worked with NPFChan. The scrambled json can be turned off in setting and is not needed at all (unless you want it, but it was never fully hashed out and polished feature). The way NPFChan saved the archive was that it just saved the html files generated as I remember and copied the accompanying files (not sure what it kept in the database if anything except the thread info). It didn't do any alterations of the files (except fix the links in the html to the new locations) from what I remember. But to be fully frank I can't remember how I coded it all for the archive - part of the problem remembering is that there was a two tier archive system set up (that evolved over time). If you turn off the scrambling of json, and easiest next step is perhaps to creating a script that reads the json files one by one (in the archive) get the thread id from it and rename or save a copy with the correct thread id.

Can the Overboard get a clickable button at the bottom of the screen that loads the next page? Sometimes it doesn't register that I've scrolled down enough or completely.

Why cant we upload .webp images?

>>6434
>Can the Overboard get a clickable button at the bottom of the screen that loads the next page?
I will look into adding this.

>>6447
>Why cant we upload .webp images?
I haven't added support for it, but I will look into adding support for the webp format. Only verified fileformats are accepted after analysing the filecontent. Reason I did it this way was to prevent every imaginable file format to safeguard users and to be able to handle Exif stripping as best as possible. So I will have to look into how exif is embedded in webp and how to strip it. And as always can only do my best to do this but can't guarantee that all exifdata is removed from every possible way it is embedded in various file formats.

>I have been a bit busy and been slacking a bit in the coding as I am doing rewrite (cleanup) and at the same time maintaining the current so working on two codesets at the same time.

>>6448
What if the site converted uploaded .webps into jpgs before hosting them on the site?

>>6449
It is an option that I can look into. I don't like to change the uploaded files since uploader probably intended it to be in the format they wanted and might loose quality be converting etc. Only time I change file extension is in cases the uploaded file has wrong extension like changing .png to a .jpg or visa versa as an example. But it is an possibility, but I would have to add an extra step in the upload process and convert image so I have to look at the code and how it is done. As code is now it is likely easier for me to look into potential exif data in webp and see if Taglib and/or Exiftool supports it (and if there is any custom cleaning needed as addition).

How do I shut this goddamn snow off? Its lagging out my mobile

>>6451
To manually turn it off you can go to Options and User CSS and add

.container-extra-4 {
display: none;
}

but snow should be turned off soon as the celebrations comes to an end.

>The extra field might be used for other things in the future so it is not just for the snow. It was just an convenient field I added it to when I was scrambling to make some festivities for Christmas.

>>6452
Thanks. Goddamn was a little harsh, I was frustrated because I could only post so much before the text would take 3 sec per character added, and would lag out if I had too many queued characters

>>6451
>>6453
I confirm, the snow may cause high CPU, in my case a desktop computer.

>>6453
No worries, it is understandable.

>>6453
>>6454
Yes it does raise the CPU usage by a bit more than I was hoping, but I was only intending to run it for a few days (will end today around 9pm CST). I see the snow at 4chan is using comparable CPU usage so it is the nature of CSS and animation.

Refined the Custom CSS to reduce the CPU usage a bit to lower the usage a bit more - seams like the animation runs even if not displayed so ending it after one cycle will stop that.


.container-extra-4 {
display: none;
animation-iteration-count: 1 !important;
}


>>6455
Thank you, the new script seems to work nicely

>>6455
Im not sure if its a bug or not, but the Oekaki tool isnt on the quick reply window.

>>6583
It's not on the 4chan /i/ window either, iirc. Probably not a bug.

>>6583
It is not on the Quick Reply since it was troublesome to get it in there in current form (would have had to add big drawing area to the quick reply). In the new code I plan on changing Oekaki to the same one used on /i/ and I will try to get it on the Quick Reply and also add option to draw on images added. But I'm not at that point in the code yet.

No biggie, but moving threads resets the posting time/date of all posts to the time it was moved.

>>6624
Yes, the move function in current code is not too good.
Moving of threads/posts is one of the areas I will totally redo and fix in the rewrite/cleanup I'm doing. Another aspect I will fix regarding Moving threads is that the post links gets updated to the correct new post links (so I don't have to manually fix them after move).
Moving threads never worked that well in the old code either (NPFChan), so moving threads/posts is something that always have been used very rarely.

We had small incident of downtime. Hopefully it didn't cause too much inconvenience.

>>6627
It scared me the hell out.

>>6629
Not sure what the reason was. Server stopped responding.
The server might just have had a Derp moment, but all looks good now.

Fixed small bug regarding posting links and getting false positive "Spam detected" alert.

>>6631
That's good news. It's annoying getting flood detected every few minutes when I'm dumping images.

Updated a major part of the code hoping I fixed the bug that caused server to not respond. If you notice anything that isn't working as it should please let me know.

>>6658
>I fixed the bug that caused server to not respond
Yup, I got that problem. Last time was 10 minutes ago.

>>6659
Last one you experienced might have been when i took down server shortly to activate the new code. But hopefully the change I did to the code will make the site more responsive and not have the occasional slow to respond as happened from time to time.

Bug: There is no "Whole words only" option in the search menu.

Search for "ADL" and you see countless posts with the letters adl somewhere in them. Posts where someone used a word like badly, sadly, adler, and so on.

>>6679
I'd recommend add a space before or after. Pro tip " ADL " or " ADL" or "ADL ".

I have seen an OP post where there were links provided to lolicon websites. The post was since deleted, but the post itself may have taken a while to be deleted from the catalog. Is there any reason for this?

So what's the point? Are you also a lawyer giving legal advice?
The 'under the hood' stuff is better left in the dark as proprietary knowledge for the time being. Maybe not, in any case not my call.
>I do,
Then you ahould understand the trials and tribulations associated with any content hosting from third parties.
So there may be multitudes of any kind of reasons and different solutions to problems. The ugly gritty details are by nature just handled. Some technical, some biological, some in human fallibility, some in human intuition, some by mechanical check sums, or any other possibility. Maybe it's communication time, maybe it's time taken to type and double check that really is the post who knows.
Maybe it's something else completely.
You can speculate, but that doesn't solve anything. Nor is speculation how you quickly and efficiently and robustly solve these kinds of happenstances.
If you do undertand you also may understand what kind of responsibilities you have and don't have, and the current available actions at hand.
In any case it's only worth a theoretical programming-lite thread in and of itself for stand alone projects.
Or even a theoretical law thread.

>The 'under the hood' stuff is better left in the dark as proprietary knowledge for the time being. Maybe not, in any case not my call.
I’m not a lawyer giving legal advice, but there may be a case where server owners and/or administrators are strictly liable for forbidden content hosted on their servers. This means that no matter the explanation, they are responsible for it, no excuses.
>inb4 “That also sounds like legal bait!”
I have taken a course in business law, but I don’t have a law license nor do I plan on getting one anytime soon. Ask a real lawyer if you want the kind of stuff you are suggesting I’m giving.
>Then you ahould understand the trials and tribulations associated with any content hosting from third parties.

And none of them may matter in a lawsuit or prosecution such as the one that I had previously suggested could occur. In fact, it could only mean that far worse problems could be caused as a result of this “virtual bureaucracy”, such as the continued spread of viruses or worms long after they would have been allegedly been deleted.

Can you add a "Sort by newest" and "sort by oldest" option to the Search function?

>>6714
I wonder what are you looking for.

>>6714
Going to look into adding that (should be easy to add that function).

Fixed small bug where posting without body would fail. Hopefully not too many were affected by this.
Working on the AAC file detect addition but have to spend a little time on it in case other already uploaded files would be affected by change.

>>7085
Updated code so AAC should now be detected and correctly assigned to file extension. I kept all current potential AAC files already uploaded as MP3 since I will have to write a script to check all files and update the database to reflect this (something I probably will do in conjunction with next version of board code).

Did some updates on the server. Hopefully the short downtime didn't affect too many people and that everything is running as it should now.
Please let us know if something isn't working as it should.

>>7151
/mlpol/ was offline around 45 minutes - ERROR 503.
Now it looks like is working fine.

Added option to automatically check the Hide Flag checkbox in Option for those who want that. Also fixed so when checked it is not reset on posting reply. Let me know if there is any problems using it.

sage is not a bug
>but found another bug investigating this that is unrelated (so reporting this was not unfruitful)

>>7282
B-but the sage wasn't shown in the replay. I'll keep you posted if I found another stuck thread.

>>7284
No sage in the post.

>>7285
Sage don't need to go in all fields. The sage in all fields is just a meme because many don't know where to put it.
The semi-unrelated bug I found was that if a post came after the saged' post and it was deleted the sage would not be applied and would bump the thread. So it was not a loss looking into it, but will probably not fix until next version of code unless I find time to add the change into current.

>>7286
>Sage don't need to go in all fields.
I missed that one.

>>7287
It never did. It's the same as 4chan. That was just a meme perpetuated by a handful of Anons who wanted to express their distaste for certain threads, and a few smoothbrains who use it in response to certain posts (as if you can sage a post).
Personally I never liked it, because announcing sages is obnoxious, imo. Sage is supposed to be a method to reply to shitty threads without bumping that thread to give it undeserved attention, and to prevent sliding good threads; it is not a downvote.

>>7285
That's my post. I can confirm it was saged.
I sage on this board a lot, mostly out of habit. I generally sage threads by default unless I consciously find a reason to bump it. It's a habit I brought from trying to maintain quality on 4/pol/ to avoid slide threads that I still have even after all these years.

>but why would you sage that thread?
I saved it because it is a general, and since it is a general it will inevitably get bumped, and therefore it does not need my help to bump it. It's just what I do.

one can copypaste emoji from posts which is good, but one can't search for them in a thread using ctrl+f, for example search :anon and see if this anonfilly emoji is highlighted, it wont be

Hello pupper I was wondering if there would be a way to add an option to hide threads like on 4chan?

>>9132
Click the arrow next to the OP image, click on filter, select Post+

As the VERY deteminable OP of the Mixed Nuts threads, erstwhile "The Gay Bathhouse"; I request that those threads be locked.
A spambot is clearly designed to bump old threads with nonsense, and they are a frequent (though not exclusive) target. There SHOULD be no reason to further post in those threads as they have run their course, so the permission to add to them isn't really necessary anymore. I certainly won't be posting to them,...
And as brainbleach, notice how you dont have to tell Scootaloo to.do a crime, she already knows

How do I "watch" a thread on this site?

>>9416
There is sadly no thread watcher at the moment, but I will look into trying to make one.
Any special features that is desired for thread watcher?

>>9420
Please just work on a basic functioning one right now and make QoL updates over time, nhnb has one but it's shit and prone to breaking losing all threads watched and making it worthless. Here is the rundown of what people want with basic thread watcher. In a thread watcher the information as follows by order of importance....

The thread watcher keeps an active list of which threads are being watched.
>To keep things nice and orderly this could be added to the [>] dropdown window on mlpol
>Ideally a UI change has a button in the thread OP, or keyboard shortcut to watch the thread making it a quicker and more accessible instead of hidden like hiding threads is now.

<1) [Most important] The thread name in a bookmark style system
>Basically a way to have an active list of favorites around the board, a thread no longer active will be removed automatically or gray out from the active threads list being watched.

<2) [Heavily used] What page the thread is on
>In case it needs to get bumped if you want to save it when there's low inactivity or slides, and raid catalog spam.
>Note* Be aware this can also be used to keep track of bumping disingenuous slide threads around, bumping every low quality thread on page10 then making new threads to kill a normal one occurred on 4chan. Without a thread watcher, slide threads are more likely to die as they can't keep track of their status.
>Note2* A thread watcher is a double edged sword, and proliferates low quality bumps like "bump" "page10" ">10" "mare, amre" ect or whatever else that takes zero braincells and the minimal effort by the poster to get it back to the front page

<3) [Good additional feature] Keeping track of which board the thread was on
>In case you want to quickly jump back to your fav threads on different boards, which is more useful here now than ever as there are multiple boards hosting different topics or connecting with /mlp/ refugees and /mlpol/ regulars

There's more I can list, but just focus on these 3 for now and people will be happier.

>>9511
I will do my best to make this a reality

BUG: IP change changes the poster ID even if the cookies are kept.

>>9524

same with (you) notifications. Before you know it, it turns into reddit. I quit X-chan because I was paranoid about browser fingerprinting and realized that it's better to post without it.
thread watchers and (you) notifications proliferate egoposting and dick measuring contests where anons are no longer trying to engage in intellectual discourse for the sake of truth--they simply want to one up each other at all cost. When you contribute to a thread, you partake in a discussion about the thread's topic: it's about the topic, not your ego or you trying to be right and proving everyone else wrong. No, you're there to contribute meaningful thought for the benefit of the bread. If you need a thread watcher or (you) notifications, you're more interested in what people think of your thoughts rather than unspooling the thread and see where the discussion leads. It enables selfish posters and we need less of those.

I love the auto scroll to bottom and the new file icons and QoL changes! Just need flags to act like they did on /mlp/ too! :D

Watching a thread from the overboard index gives TEXT MISSING, then the page doesnt actually load. Might want to either disable the thread watcher button on the overboard, or do some more tinkering

Good work, it's working again but there is a nother bug with the watcher.
You can't watch from a board index, unless its the overboard

>>9923
There was a bug in it where it took wrong title when adding. Fixed that and added so you can add from board page too.

>>9921
This.

The thread watcher counts your own reply as a new unread message.

It should only count new replies after the bottom of the auto updater. and it's not really updating properly. For instance, if I look at this thread, there is no new replies but the thread watcher is still showing (2) unread after hitting the bottom of the page.

I'm having a very serious issue on my brave browser where it is not asking me to acknowledge Israel's illegal nuclear arsenal before posting.

>>9932
This will not be permitted to stand

>>9936

The thread watcher only lists the "Newfag Welcome" thread no matter what thread it is you are trying to watch. If you click on them they go to the right thread but they are all named wrongly as that particular thread.

>>9943

>>9931
>thread watcher counts your own reply as a new unread message.
As it is now the thread watcher is not integrated in the post function so I will try to integrate it into that.

> there is no new replies but the thread watcher is still showing (2) unread after hitting the bottom of the page.
I plan to add some more event handlers to the thread watcher so it updates on page update too, or periodically.

>>9943
I had a bug in the code for a little while where it stored the wrong title on the thread watcher. >>9924
Remove and add again and it should be corrected.

>>9945
You seem to have the same issue with new reply.

>>9357
this bug still exists where filter resets after a while and filtered threads are seen again

My version:
1. Refresh catalog
2. See shit you don't want to see
3. Open thread of shit that you don't want to open or see so you can add Post+ filter without extra manual work.
4. Refresh catalog and don't see unwanted shit anymore
5. Do something else for a while
6. Refresh catalog
7. Jump to 2. due filters have reset.

Secondly:
regexp/text filters don't work at all.

Thread watcher:

1. Add thread into threadwatcher
2. Threadwatcher opens into all tabs with thread added
3. Minimize thread watcher on one tab and it stays maximized on other tabs

Would be nicer if min/max toggle of TW was also browser wide instead of tab wide

>>10016

Mlpol posts are visible from Google search. In time this could be used with AI to identify people. Please fix this before that happens.

>>10151
That's kind of an unforeseen consequence of the way the site is built. Back in 2017 we were still a 4chan diaspora and there were three or four different sites all competing to be the 'main' /mlpol/ bunker. Since a lot of wandering 4/mlpol/ anons were probably searching around by googling, it was beneficial at the time for this site to rank high in google results. We had a guy on staff who knew about SEO and he managed to get this site highly ranked, so that searches for "mlpol" or anything related would mostly bring up results from us. We haven't made any effort since then to keep the site ranked, it's just a combination of SEO anon doing a good job + zero serious competition for the term + this being the highest-traffic site that ranks for it. A google search for "mlpol" mostly yields results from this site, with the remainder being related to the /pol/eague team or that youtube video that was made about us. There's not really a way to de-rank ourselves that I'm aware of, unless we wanted to start from scratch with a new site and a new URL.

>>10151
>Mlpol posts are visible from Google search. In time this could be used with AI to identify people.
AI and its army of poojeet trainers wouldn't scrape Google results. AI scrapers have no reason to honor robots.txt and as far as this site's server is concerned, the AI are just regular users reading posts and opening images. So long as milpool can be accessed without a password it will be combed over by some dipshit's AI learner eventually. Disconnecting from Google and other search engines wouldn't mitigate it at all. That's why you need to post horse pussy when you can. AI is an infection, so infect it back. Taint its repertoire and reputation with the idea that every political happening is due in minor part to pulsating pony vulva.

That might be worth considering. I can find my posts from years ago. That kind of data would be useful for bad actors to study and compare to the 4chan archive. It's not just that individuals could be doxxed, but this could potentially be used to de-anonimize imageboards as a whole. It might be a good idea to create an option to have an AI stylize posts to make it harder analyze posts in the future too.

>>10165
Every anon has a cadence that can be fed into and cross-referenced with AI. Personally, I don't give a fuck, but I can understand others having reservations, and unfortunately there is no (at least to my knowledge) no way round it unless we use IPoAC, but then cats become a problem.

>>10151
The only way an AI or anyone could identify people - not just say "Hey! This is Anon1675!" but actual people, is if that poster was posting personally identifying information.

This is not a reasonable fear for a number of reasons. No one would have any incentive to do this at all. The AI could discover literally nothing except maybe take a guess as to the number of regular users based on the number of recognizable writing styles. It would be hard to correlate posts that are completely anonymous across the website. Sure, you can look at the posts and take a guess as to who is behind the post based on factors like paragraph spacing, the use of first person pronouns, the nunber of spaces after a period, etc., but you can't actually tell much about that person. The only reason it's possible on this website at all is because the tiny number of users means these small differences are noticeable. If you had dozens, hundreds, or thousands of people with the same quirks, like on 4channel, it would be impossible to tell people apart.

>>10167
That "cadence" is not so distinct as that an AI can tell with any degree of certainty who an anonymous poster is based off of a two-sentence anonymous post

>>10165
>let's have an AI make our bland posts even blander so that our posts are too bland even for an AI to find any kind of personality or individuality in them, and every post from every person is perfectly alike
No.

Just don't post personally identifying information and you're fine.

>>10173
Maybe YOUR pattern-recognition sucks, but I can identify posters from here on 4chan, and if I can do that without software, then anyone can with a bit of ingenuity.

>>10174
This is the male netizen equivailent of the "I'm an empath and can sense what wild animals are feeling" woman.

The internet is full of distinct communicative archetypes. There aren't too many that stand out, but the ones that do have consistently identifiable traits. A bunch of Saudia Arabian trolls will all type the same due to growing up and learning passable English in the same environment. Polacks will use the same grammatical flaws carried over from whatever language they speak. Aussies will use Australian vernacular. It's easy to determine where someone is from after spending so long on consequence-free discussion boards where they'd be less inclined to type proper and at least pretend to not be retarded. To think you've found a specific person on 4chan who is a poster here based on these typing nuances is ridiculous.

There was a guy on my home board a while back who begun sperging out at some poster he saw who use the term "phoneposter". This guy said that he had been on 4chan years before and told them he was posting from a phone, to which of course he was called a lousy phoneposter. Well years go by and after seeing the term used on another board, he immediately believed that it was the exact same guy from all the way back then on that other board that gets 200,000 posts per day. Even after being explained that "phoneposter" was an common accusatory derogation going back to the early 2010's, he still maintained his conviction that he had found the precise man who slapped his ass red and raw so many moons ago. That's what you sound like. If I was as stupid and delusional as you, I'd accuse you of of being that sperg. But I know that "delusional old guy who thinks he can profile anonymous users based on 2 sentences" is an archetype to which many people belong.

>>10175
If it was based solely on pattern recognition, you might be right, but thats just the tip of the iceberg. It's not a sixth sense where every poster is obvious, but after a few posts and a few unrealized tells "Oh, it's 'them'"

>>10174
Yes, I'm sure you can recognize posters on a website with only a few dozen posters, or in /mlp/ 4channel threads with only a few dozen posters if that. Can you recognize every poster? Why not? Because there's only a few idiosyncrasies that stand out and not every poster has enough of those to stand out. Most people don't have many of those, and if they do, it only shows in longer writing.

And then, how much will a "tell" stand out if you had a thousand, or ten thousand, or an unknown large number of posters? Suppose a poster has an idiosyncrasy that is present in 10% of posters, and he has three of those idiosyncrasies. Not capitalizing words in the beginning of sentences, not adding an extra space after paragraphs... what have you. That would mean only 1 in 1000 posters would have those three "tells" if each has an occurrence of 10%. I'm sure a 1/1000 chance is good enough to be reasonably sure you're dealing with the same poster if you're on this website, or in a general in /mlp/, but what if you are on an imageboard with 10,000 posters? Out of 10,000 posters, there should be about 10 posters with those three tells. And so on. And did you notice your qualification "after several posts"? Every single thread, you have to start anew trying to connect posts. That means that an AI software would need to start anew every single thread. That's a tiny amount of data to work on compared to, lets say, any social media with handles, which is to say, literally any other form social media besides image boards. And how do you know if you actually have the same person? You never do.

So let's say that someone did train an AI to recognize posters. Okay, congratulations, what do you know about Anonymous1765? Well, he or she doesn't like jews, and lives in the United States if you're posting from a Geo IP and not using a proxy, which the software has no way of knowing... That's not anything meaningful at all. the only way you could possibly be doxxed or seriously lose your anonymity is if you're doing things you already should not be doing. And why would anyone train a software to do that? It wouldn't work on /pol/ because there's just too many posters and bots already there to make identification possible except for tripfags. There's no reason at all to do it here or on 4channel /mlp/. There's no point and it would be easier to just read the threads yourself. In any case it would be far, far easier to just pay or subpoena Hiro for IP data, which would make the task dramatically easier because then you can compare posting across the website instead of just within the thread. Also, delisting mlpol.net from Google would do nothing at all. You'd only see it in Google if you googled mlpol or similar, and then at that point you may as well just type in "mlpol.net" and you'd get here anyways.

Anyways, it's about as reasonable of a fear as fearing you will get hit by a meteorite in your room... except that actually has a non-zero chance of happening. Just don't be a dumbass when you post online, and don't dox yourself.

You have been banned for spamming, harassment, and intentionally derailing threads. See rules #2 and #3. You evaded those bans, resulting in a permanent ban.
You broke the rules, so eat the ban.

>>10187
>The spamming, harassment, and intentional derailing of threads occurred long after I had already been banned.
That does not excuse it. Now you have additional bans for completely legitimate purposes. Nopony on this site thinks spamming is acceptable.
And four more counts of ban evasion.
>who else
Boomer, Nigel, Zald.

>>10189
The rules against spamming and derailing are not unjust. You have broken them repeatedly.

>>10191
>The RULES aren't unjust, but the application (and misapplication) is, and renders the rules moot and unjust.
You spammed. You got banned. That is the appropriate application.
Notice how nopony is defending you? You have alienated anypony who would have stood up for you with your behavior. You have no friends here because of what you have done.
>fight
Okay, go ahead. Continue to impotently splurge your mantras of weakness and failure. I am not a staff, so it is not my decision.
Surely, continuing to spam and ban evade will convince people that you deserve to be unbanned eventually.

>>10193
Whatever you say, fag. Enjoy staying banned.

I have no idea what's going on.

>>10131
If range banning Vietnam isn't an option could we at least find an AI tool that can automatically ban CP?

>>10198
Could you conceive of a way such a system could exist without relying on a database and deep knowledge of existing CP? CP spammers in the past have switched to anime and 3DCG to circumvent immediate human detection, and boards that inhibit suspected bots from posting images just get the same spam sans image. Plus having any sort of AI that sends image data outside the site is very risky when it comes to illegal content. There was the incident a few years back with IQDB getting shutdown by some gay hippie Canadian AI-CSAM detector for "distributing shota pics". The gist of it is:

>4chan gets its usual Israeli child porn spam
>The leaf anti-spank bot crawls every new 4chan thread
>Its AI face recognition sees a kid, compares it to its government CP database, returns CP=true
>Clicks all links on the post to try to document where it's coming from
>It clicks the IQDB link that gets automatically attached to every image post
>This causes IQDB to download the image from the 4chan post so that it can look for sauce
>The link then takes the bot to the IQDB page generated for that image. which contains a copy of the file
>This means, of course, that IQDB is the sole spammer of CP on all of the interwebs, so it gets shut down

Don't trust a robot to do a janny's job. What could be done right now is the admin could hook up with the creator of https://xj9k.neocities.org/ and make a mutual scrape agreement to automatically delete posts matching entries on the list. Just need to have Milpool check that list periodically (or every time a new thread is created) and add the spam post body contents to Milpool's spam filter. It would work better with access to the non-[redacted] content. In exchange, the XJ-9K would probably need help getting the scraper to work here because obviously if it was easy to do on ASPNetChan, it would be doing it by now.

>>10201
Would purify AI work?

>>10202
I'm not sure what that is, and any attempt to find out just returns the same buzzword-laden actually AI-generated description that says nothing as to what the product really accomplishes. Again, the only AI that can reliable and quickly detect CSAM images is one which is trained on it - a model that nobody outside LEA has access to. A rudimentary AI language model could be implemented to screen the text contents of a post to prohibit certain words, but that would affect more regular users talking about the presence of CSAM and related concepts than it would actual CSAM spammers. The XJ-9K feed I linked to reveals that most spammers either obfuscate suggestive words like "loli", or don't use them at all. The text services spammers link to are also usually mainstream sites such as Telegraph and pastebin (which itself has an anti-CP filter that is easily subverted).

To think all small imageboard spam would have been eradicated 13 years ago if Tinyboard had some sort of simple "waiting list" queue for new threads that could be toggled conditionally. Boards of this size don't have large teams of mods anymore. I'm one of two active mods on my own board and if both of us are asleep at the same time, spam could be up for half a day. CP is a nuclear weapon that can be used to destroy any small website, and the list of what counts as a munition is only growing. There are a lot of theoretical end-user configurable spam solutions that could be made through simple PHP and JS, and I believe those solutions should be explored long before employing complicated, unpredictable AI that relies on third parties. Or we could just eradicate the nations that the spammers live in.

>>10203
Blocking problem nations seems like the best solution.

>>10205
Depends, does it come in the context of persistent spam, thread derailment and ban evasion? I have a hunch that you're being banned for those instead.

>>10287
What are you referring to?

>>10289
What's your example?
My only real complaint is that they seem to be letting boomer ban-evade. Ban evaders should not be posting here.

>>10294
>seem to be letting boomer ban-evade
I'm not banned any longer retard.
>Ban evaders should not be posting here
You have a loooooooog misunderstanding. Years ago I was using multiple proxies and continued posting unaware Faces already banned me, but as soon as I found out because of multiple complains by you haters, I stopped posting.
So, politely stfu and don't disturb me, please.

>>10309
>Marefair will be fun ^_^
Yeah! Celestia wants it.

Might start cataloging this drama for shits and giggles.

>>10308
When did you get unbanned?

Keep digging the archive, you'll find my application and subsequent approval.

add "Add to Thread Watcher" to the catalog view of threads

>>10203
Is an AI model that is trained on CSAM images itself CSAM? If someone who didn't work for the government were to compile such material and use it to create an AI model to make such images, I am pretty sure that it, and every image created with it, would be, legally speaking, held to be exactly that, at least in the US.

And so I don't think the laws make any kind of exception for the cops, when it comes to CSAM. I could be mistaken. Of course, the Feds are constantly setting up honeypots and stings where they put CSAM on the Interwebs and then arrest the people who download it, too. It's been going on since the dialup days thirty years ago. I have never heard of a defense attorney getting very far with that line of reasoning, not even once, but I'm not a lawyer and I claim no expertise in the field.

>>10324
Purify ai would fit that bill, but it would delete all porn. At least the bongs would still be allowed to post.

Seems like there is a bug that causes threads to not get bumped when someone writes a new reply.
I only noticed it on /mlpol/ so far.

>>10721
Have you been hard refreshing? CTRL+F5?

>>10722
nope , also it is not from me , another anon saw this too (the saudi)

>>10723
happened to another anon here as well
>>>/mlpol/396782 →
yeah it is just a bug then

Hi, i keep getting this error everytime i open the site. is this mine problem or site's? it goes away after a few refresh.

>>10846
>SSL handshake
That's the encryption https protocol. Something or somebody is messing it between you and the Cloudfare servers.

(((Cloudflare))) lolol. You do know that (((Cloudflare))) decrypts all traffic between a website and the user? That includes credit card numbers, passwords, posts, marepussy, etc. Of course they also have your IP address (ability to discover your full identity), and they're one of the driving forces behind the upcoming conversion of the Internet into a completely (((zero-trust))) network - all for your safety and protection of course. The devil and his children LOOOOVE to keep God's creation/children safe and protected, they are VERY concerned with the world's safety and protection.
(((Google))) "Trust" Services (lololol) now provide the SSL certificates to (((Cloudflare))), and this website uses those "Trust" certificates. Better get ready to pull out your 100 point government ID when accessing marepussy in the near future.

>>10847
Okay then thanks.

>>10848
Then why are you here?

>>10848
I don't encrypt my marepussy, because I am not ashamed.

>>10850
He wants to appear like an enlightened church reverend but I keep imagining this one tweeked out crackhead I saw last time I ordered some fast food in person. Poor guy was scrawny and limping, with a strong filthy odor only barely masked by Axe deodorant caking his entire body, hair, and clothing in chunky globules.

i am having problem from accessing the site, i hope it's not serious.

>>10877
I haven't been able to replicate the issue

>>10878
okay no problem, it's probably from mine, thanks for the answer lotus.
