Requests for Features

I haven't been lurking as long as most people, coming here from another Chan that most people you frequented here are now staying and I already love this place, it's like various other anonymous boards but without cancer, or at least for now. So I'm just sharing my opinions on features to make lurking easier, I apologize if I mention a feature that could be added or changed on the user side. To get started: Keyboard shortcuts, simple things as pressing "r" refreshes the board and thread, be able to open the reply box without scrolling to the top of the thread and clicking a post, and the ability to quickly hide threads from the catalog. And speaking of catalog, I was surprised I wasn't able to do this: Post a thread, Is there something I'm missing? Really interested for why people can't create a thread when view in the objectively superior mode of catalog. Those are some of my ideas, interested in hearing some of yours

It would be dope if lainchan had a .onion for tor users.

>>1190 'r' Make it something else, as everytime someone would rype r it would reload. Otherwse, yeah, keyboard shortcuts would be dope.

>>1192 Well, pressing "r" to refresh would only work if you're not currently in a dialogue box.

>>1193 Some people write in the top box. Or it would be an issue when opening a thread. Well It could be made that the keyboard action is only active when all text boxes are empty.

Adding another point that deals with catalog mode, is the fact that when I move to a different board like from /q/ to /r/ it kicks me out and I'm back into the default having to select catalog again. Really annoying, should be made that your default view changes once you choose catalog or the other.

I see where you're coming from and I'm going to say it, 4Chan features are better than Lain by miles. And I would love for it that we take the features that apply to us from 4Chan and add a little bit more on top. Going through this place is insufferable compared to 4Chan.

>>1197 It'd be nice if you could elaborate on what you want to implement. I believe it's an exaggeration to say that going through this site is 'insufferable'. I honestly think lainchan's features (or lack of them) are enough to give a pleasant lurking experience. I wouldn't like to see it bloated nor do I want it to become another imageboard.

I personally don't think lainchan needs any of that. >hide a thread You can already do this. See that minus button next to posts, try clicking it. >r to refresh I'm going to tell you a secret, most browsers have a built in hotkey that does just this,F5. Also most browser's support Ctrl+r. >objectively superior mode of catalog This is incorrect. Catalog view is completely against the mentality of an image board. If a thread isn't on page 1 or 2 then interest in it is probably gone. Especially on a slow moving site like this.

>>1211 He's right you know, there's a there's solutions in your problems. >You can already do this. See that minus button next to posts, try clicking it. Probably didn't see it because OP uses catalog mode, and I get it. I do the same most of the time, being able to see the most threads on my screen is great.

>keyboard shortcuts Javascript is bad.

Id like there to be an option to view lainchan in catalog view by default so I dont have to keep clicking the catalog button every time I switch to a board

>>1239 You could simple bookmark the appropriate url >https://lainchan.org/{board name}/catalog.html

Request for feature : When posting, after selecting a file, being able to cancel this file. As far as I can tell, the only way right now is to reload the page, which is bothersome when you just typed a 500 words essay then selected the wrong pic to go with it.

>>1427 there's a little X to the left of files for me

>>1428 >when you see it Well I see it now, thanks Bobby. But it's gray on grey, if it can easily be done the colour should be changed.

Can we get /mega/ pagination for NoScript users? Infinite scroll is nice and all, but I have to run untrusted code to have it. Not nice.

>>1666 How would infinite scroll be implemented without js?

>>1241 >You could simple bookmark the appropriate url Or I could just use the board links in the toolbar that is at the top of lainchan instead of using the dropdown menu of my browser to access a folder dedicated to just one website I visit

>>1667 Like, I don't know, using discrete pages?

>>1665 But then you'd be forcing everyone to use the catalog.

>>1671 no, there is an options menu at upper right of lainchan, there could be an option to toggle between scroll view and catalog view

I just want to mention that I discovered a feature I didnt know was there. In catalog view you can click the non-pic part of the thread click-space and it activates a scrollbar so you can use the mouse wheel to scroll and read the OP without entering the thread....cool!!! Maybe I am stupid for not figuring this out right away but I wonder how many people are aware of this.

>>1429 The color has been changed as requested, you should be able to change manually if you don't like it using Inspect Element for .remove-btn. User CSS and User JS options in the Options dialog is something is that coming, for further user customization that doesn't require submitting a CSS theme. If there are any themes were the new color doesn't work , please let us know.

Maybe not r to refresh but it's very simple to give threads vim navigation. While moving through the answers it could light up the current answer and replyrics to it using enter.

>>1190 >>2098 >>1192 We now have keyboard shortcuts for next reply, previous reply and expand image, they are not enabled by default and they are configurable from the Options menu in the top right corner of the page under the General Tab, Keyboard Navigation subheading. They were implemented by https://github.com/lainchan/lainchan/pull/109 . Feel free to request other actions and to submit pull requests with changes of your own.

>>1190 (OP) >>2098 >>1192 Keyboard shortcuts / navigation that is disabled by default and opt-in now supports a refresh thread shortcut.

Implement /boards. Vichan supports having channame.tld/boards.html as a list of all boards. Unfortunately, lainchan.org/boards.html is a 404. Could this be changed? It would be good for discovery.

The Serial Experiments Lain BOOTLEG duo cd release among music tracks and minigames also had a set of various icon sized images featuring characters and symbols from the show. Lainchan could employ them to strengthen references to the show and the world there. Icons are wholly neutral, they don't carry any controversial ideologies beyond those of the show so usage shouldn't cause conflict by itself imo. A possible usage scenario could be to have them be randomized for every new thread in the starting post. Another usage would that of typical flag feature with users picking what and if they want to use. I attach a screenshot of the icon files. It can be shared it if the idea is plausible.

>>4325 These would be so useful for fan projects. Could you upload them?

>>4326 Okay here you go, I also attached wallpaper folder from the disc. The resolution for those is appropriately sub 1024x768. https://nup.pw/_gPUPs.7z

We need another spastic nigger admin

As I understand, it's currently impossible to embed a Youtube video in a post (forgive me if I missed something). I tried entering its URL in the "remote" option but the site would not accept it, so this is the feature I'm requesting.

>>4702 That's something I'd rather not see in Lainchan. Doesn't that require using some Google assets to do? Regardless, youtube is just something that goes against the general attitude of lainchan to me.

>>4702 Also, supporting something like MediaGoblin would be different, so why not that?

>>4704 It doesn't require any Google assets. It can be done easily in a few lines of HTML like this: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SHz8_EDDpiw?controls=0"> </iframe> Whether it goes against the spirit of Lainchan or not, people already post a lot of links to Youtube videos on boards such as /mu/, so adding an option to embed them would not really introduce anything new. It'd just make things a little bit more convenient for anyone who frequents that board. >>4705 Because sites running MediaGoblin don't have as much content as Youtube. I think it would be hard for anyone to use them as their go-to for sound media. Make no mistake, I just want to make sharing content we find on the web easier. I don't intend to use it as a social medium for my own videos, and I think this will be the case with everyone else 99% of the time.

>>4702 >>4712 It isn't impossible, vichan supports and even has dynamic javascript loading that only does the youtube embedd if the video is clicked on, but the embedding functionality in vichan and lainchan has traditionally been disabled, with the preference to give the user the option to choose whether to load an external site or not. I am looking into functionality that also provides the option of taking URL in remote upload option and converting the url to a webm or other suitable attachment, but even if that functionality is developed, it still takes time and resources and isn't likely to be enabled on this installation immediately.

Have IDs been discussed before ? I've always found that they make it easier to follow arguments, as you don't need to redefine your stance or point to your older posts every time. We already have random names with each post, I imagine it would be pretty easy to make it so each IP keeps its own name within a thread. Of course it would be trivial to evade, but that's not an issue as long as IDs are used to facilitate discussion rather than avoid samefagging. Yes, there is already a name field for this, but : - either I keep the same name all the time and become a disgusting name user - or I must come up with a new name every thread and I will still be called a name user, also too much effort.

>>5088 >too much effort Sounds like a personal problem to me. Why subject everyone to soykafty thread ids when you yourself, if you insist on being identified, could solve the problem by typing in a few characters?

>>5149 >soykafty thread ids Why do you think IDs are bad ? I was bringing that up because, while I've often read people badmouthing the idea, nobody ever brought an actual point against the concept. So I was thinking it was maybe just brewing soykaf and the fair folks on lainchan wouldn't mind it. But I don't want to impose anything of course. >if you insist on being identified The thing is, if I'm the only one doing it, I'm identifying myself across threads, not just in the current one, which is a limit I don't want to cross. If it was at least a check-in option, I could hope that enough people would do it to anonymize me across threads. Anyway, that was an old post and nobody seemed to show interest, so that probably won't happen anyway. Wasn't there another thread discussing this too, security-wise ? I never really read it in details, I don't know what their conclusions were.

>>5088 >- either I keep the same name all the time and become a disgusting name user >- or I must come up with a new name every thread and I will still be called a name user, also too much effort. Third option: if you don't want anonymous discussion, don't post on an anonymous imageboard. IDs break anonymity. Anonymity is important because it keeps ideas separate from their authors. Someone could say something stupid at the start of a thread and not have their opinions dismissed for the rest of the thread because of that mistake. Every last post is judged on merit, not who wrote it. This is especially important on slower imageboards as threads may entail lots of discussion over a long period of time. Discussion is fine without it. The only time it causes issues is when three people are engaging in an argument and one accuses the other two of samefagging, but IDs don't stop those accusations in practice since the accuser just assumes the same user is proxying. Redefining your stance and pointing to old posts occurs even with names. I've seen it often enough on forums where people will quote their old posts, or say, "As I said, ....". You only need to redefine your stance or point to an older post if the readers aren't reading attentively enough (not fixed with names) or if your stance wasn't clear enough (not fixed with names). IP-based identification is also inaccurate, since IPs change often enough and users can post from different IPs or multiple users can post from the same IP. So if you use IDs alone to track people through a thread, there's a reasonable expectation of error, especially since lainchan is fairly slow and it's reasonable for users to post from several different IPs during one thread's lifetime

>>1190 I'm trying this comment from clover, it just got beta support for lainchan. Test?

>>5467 Update: it seems to work, although it hangs after posting, and as such doesn't auto bookmark. Nice though, clover is a great mobile app so it's good to be able to post/lurk/track things here more easily. Sorry for filling up this thread but posting new ones is broken (requires picture upload but it errors out on any as far as I can tell, filesize limit isn't set properly). I figured this thread, as a 'features' thread, would be as good as any to test.

Could you increase the length of /mega/? It feels too short, content gets slid off way too fast imo.

>>5509 Seconding this

I want to suggest that in catalog view that there be a button on each thread that allows you to directly to the bottom of the thread. I mostly lurk in /λ/ and there are a lot of long threads I keep up on and I hate entering a thread and having to wait 2 seconds for the page to render just so I can click the 'go to bottom' button.

When can we get officially supported CollabVM integration? It'd be much appreciated.

>>5212 It's really too bad that for politics boards IDs are necessary because of the wage slave problem. Just my two cents.

>>5986 >wage slave I wrote s h i l l. Dam language enhancers.

>>1693 This option has been added.

Is there a way to make replies on lainchan nested? Clicking on a reply and getting redirected halfway across the thread gets tiring, and makes it harder to follow discussions.

world filter request: hacker -> cybercrook

>>6329 This language enhancement request is not fair to the other definitions of the word hacker (that are not crime related), and thus will probably not be implemented.

>>6330 yeah but it's funny

Any chance for a hidden service?

>>6355 also interested in a lainchan .onion

"language enhancer" -> "newspeak autotrans"

Can you please change the speech enchancer behavior, when writing "s h i t t i n g"? It is changed to "soykafting", but in my opinion it would sound better if it was changed to "soykaffing". But I'm not a native English speaker, so don't know if it is a good idea.

Can we get a button in the file menu that randomizes the filename (and maybe the image hash if possible)? This would be a privacy feature that would make it easier to prevent image based tracking of individuals.

>>1190 More stickers when :(

Technically, these are features, but they don't feel like features. They are something that I'm requesting for lainchan to have, though. I know that lainchan publishes some relevant data on /donate.html. That page, regarding the costs, only shows the monthly server cost (presently, (USD?) $55). That seems incomplete. I know that there are moderators, I suspect that there is a developer to work on some requested features. I'm curious to know how much of what sorts of labor go into running lainchan. I'm interested in donating to lainchan, but it's difficult for me to donate if I'm unaware of how the donations are being used. It's also difficult for me to donate if it seems as though the full costs aren't published. I understand that it would involve more labor to track and publish detailed relevant accounting, and that lainchan's monthly donations are fairly small, so it might not be worth tracking and publishing detailed relevant accounting. I think it woudn't take too much labor to track and publish a complete cost for this (or last) month, in addition to the regular server cost, and the running donation totals (it would be nice if the running donation totals were also presented summed together).

>>6566 It isn't incomplete as per >>6581, yes there are moderators they are volunteers and not paid for their time, nor are their metrics or quotas to ensure they have a minimum time allocation per week or month. The primary developer for most of Lainchan's custom software is me. I work on it in my spare time (when I am not at my day job) and on a volunteer / best effort basis. Other volunteer developers are welcome, but seem to be rare. (Except for Lainradio, which is developed by barrucadu (https://github.com/barrucadu/lainonlife). The non custom stuff (Mumble, InspirICD, IceCast, etc) all have upstream you can donate to if you want to. Simply put we don't have the metrics you are asking for. Setting up the metrics collection to gather the information you are asking for accurately would not only be more costly than any donation you are likely to make, but it would also an annoyance and possible privacy issue with our existing volunteer staff. The answer for your question is $0 additional costs and $0 donations for this month, but that isn't the answer you want to hear. Currently as there are no donations being donated, there are no donations being used. Previously when we used to sell stickers and get donations via that method, all donations went to server costs (monthly hosting fee, and DNS registration), as all other costs are $0 because they are volunteer time. When lainstore goes live, the donation page will be updated again, and I will probably make a donation history page to keep track of historic donations better, but until there is a reason to allocate donated funds to anything other than server costs, the breakdown you are asking for isn't really required. I am happy to have discussion with you if you want to make a donation with conditions or you want to donate but only for a specific purpose.

Shorthand chan links: i.e. similar to how you can >>postnumber for internal posts, I'd want to be able to link to other chans by doing something like >>chan/board/thread/post, where chan is the domain name of the chan, or a conventional (i.e. according to the arbitrary choice of the chan that enables such inter-chan shorthand links) nickname, (board, thread, post) is the identifier of the (board, thread, post) according the target chan. E.g. rather than typing out "https://www.lainchan.org/q/res/6649.html#6657", one could type >>lainchan/q/6649/6657, which is sufficient to find the post within the chan. One might also allow, somehow, for the person that clicks the link to be able to choose from alternative interfcaces to the target chan. e.g. if there were a booru-like interface, and a hierarchical baord/thread/post interface.

it would be nice if a real time chat was added on the radio channel.

>>6669 We have this feature, we just don't have the other chan support (which isn't hard to add), because there was no good reason to implement it for non affiliated chans and given in most cases it is a Rule 6 violation.

We have a /tay/ banner but no /tay/ board, pls fix this important problem

Can you enable BAT tips from le wage slave lion

Could we maybe remove the built in client on the irc page as it's broken? If you need something to replace it with https://qchat.rizon.net/ works. Also, could the search page be added to the top bar?

Add a new keybinding "A" for enabling/disabling auto thread update. I've been pressing it like an idiot for the last year and so and always wondered why it didn't work.

Auto dark/light theme! It greatly reduces strain on my eyes and need to fuarrrk around in options everyday. Also it could be done through user css, but I guess it would be nice addition to the board source itself @import url("https://www.lainchan.org/stylesheets/style.css") screen and (prefers-color-scheme: light); @import url("https://www.lainchan.org/stylesheets/greybird.css") screen and (prefers-color-scheme: dark);

I'd be heaven on Earth if you added inlining..

>>7652 This is a nice theme, but I really wish there were some way to disable the "highlighting" of threads when browsing the catalog. It gets really bright, and makes the text unreadable.

>>7698 Something like this should do it I guess: .theme-catalog div.thread:hover { background: unset !important; border-color: unset !important; }

>>7699 This is much better, thank you!

More of a proposal than a request as I'm thinking of doing it myself with a userscript or somesuch: >Post drafts. >>>/hum/25013 >You come to lainchan because the average post body character count is - I'd guess - at 500 characters or so. People don't come to lainchan to give out their unsolicited 5-word opinion on something but to interact with the Zeitgeist instead. There a few other places out there like this, the last fortresses of information and in the near future the tide will turn and our opinions, unless extensively crafted and actually useful, will not be welcome. >E-mail helped me understand this, well, mutt helped me understand this. See in mutt you make a message by creating a file on the filesystem which can be used as a draft for you to revise over time. This is how a message is ought to be. Our communications have evolved up to political, industrial leaders and intellectuals writing physical letters - or book messages even - to one another in spans of months and years then rapidly devolved to a literal "NO U" altercations To expand on this notion; 1. Lainchan is only good because its focus is ideas, not events or people, because lainons coming to lainchan are focused on ideas, not events or people 2. Thing about ideas is they are heavy, they need to be crystalized, thought out and revisited 3. Allowing typed in post content to be drafted into localStorage will permit lainons to temporarily abandon a heavy idea and revisit it after a break 4. Perhaps even forget about the idea only to be surprised that yeah they've wanted to say something about that topic on that board but they had to do something else or got tired typing 5. Technically nothing's preventing someone from typing an idea out in a text file on their machine but that means handling a local document which is a chore Making this post to throw the idea to the wolves, no plans to start on the implementation as of now.

>>7848 There's a potential security issue with allowing Lainchan to access such storage, isn't there? I don't browse Lainchan with JavaScript enabled, so this wouldn't benefit me, but I already just do this manually where I need to. Not every post needs a draft, like this one, but it's also easy enough to get up and leave the browser for however long before returning to the comment field.

No posting ability for CLI-based web browsers??? I feel like that should definitely be something that's allowed, considering imageboards are one of the few places that can be used quite well with CLI-browsers,and that a fair amount of us might use them

bump for rss feed

>Necroreplies by well intentioned anons who didn't bother to check the date of the last reply to a thread I guess this actually improves the posting rate, so there's a disincentive for the mods to apply the obvious fix of expressing dates as English statements like "4 days and 3 hours ago". But since threadwatchers don't work as reply notifiers like they do on 4chan, the intended recipient of the necroreply might not see it for years. Perhaps expressing dates in English might cause would be necroposters to post in more recent threads, without lowering the posting rate? Maybe the posting rate would actually increase as a result, since original posters are more likely to reply to replies to their posts.

>>7851 Seconded. Please implement the "Latest Posts" feature as seen on the index page as a rss feed.

>>7851 >>8044 You mean like https://lainchan.org/recent.xml or https://lainchan.org/q/recent.xml for per board ?

>>8045 Was that always there? That's exactly what I wanted.

>>8046 This has been available for several years now.

>>1191 >It would be dope if lainchan had a .onion for tor users. I want to bump this. A lainchan tor hidden service would be great. This way tor users can post on lainchan without having to use exit nodes since they can harm a tor user's privacy. Hosting a tor hidden service is rather easy, and could be done for the irc and mumble servers as well.

is it possible to add a radio station like https://plaza.one ?

>>8760 It would be nice especially since lainchan already allows torposting so they wouldn't need to implement a block bypass or whatever the other chans use.

>>8773 We already have one

Hi, any chance of adding a thumbnail image option for YouTube embeds in lainchan? Notice how in a lainchan instance, if a thread has a lot of YoutTube embeds it gets extremely laggy to load and browse through >4chon.me/gm/res/6791.html Whereas in a vichan instance, it's not laggy because it only retrieves "0.jpg" thumbnails and only loads the player upon click >sushigirl.us/tunes/res/1.html

>>9258 I don't want linking to youtube to be pleasant or convenient here. I'd prefer people not link to it at all. This is the reason no embedding happens, because all of those thumbnails are requests directly to youtube, and thus inform Google of who views threads when. fuarrrk Google.

>>9258 what >>9259 said. IIRC somebody made a thread about this long time ago and lainons were mainly against it because >linking to youtube

>>9259 >>9260 I'm not talking about this lainchan.org website. I'm talking about the lainchan 5.1.3 software and how it handles YouTube embeds (if enabled) differently from vichan 5.1.4. You need to see those two links to understand what I'm talking about.

Nevermind I'll just tell him to switch to vichan since he needs to start from scratch anyway and I can see lainchan (the software) hasn't been updated for a year.

>>9258 Lainchan, already has the functionality you are talking about you just need to enable it https://github.com/lainchan/lainchan/blob/master/js/youtube.js

Can we have a piracy board. I just want to share with other lainons that's all.

>>9154 >Other solutions to prevent automation deletion of threads from flooding are being investigated Any news on this? I still think my idea is pretty slick - make board pages twice as long, but then simply hide the second bottom half from users. That way whenever a thread is deleted, another thread which was previously bumped off rises from the nether. However, that thread would've still been inaccessible and 404'd before it rose up. I'm also a proponent of adding at least 5 more pages to boards which currently only have 5 pages.

>>9389 Although when I think about it, the current amount of board pages would make sense if there's a financial reason for it. I don't know how much more it would cost to host more pages (hidden or otherwise), but lainchan is pretty rare for it's non-soykaftiness and variety of discussions. That's why IMO it's a shame for old discussions here to get bumped off so easily.

Can we get a filter on "DAY OF THE SEAL SOON"? That soykaf is annoying.

We need a drawing board like ic

Would i the so hard to gray out the 'Post' button or disable the text box or something when viewing a thread that is locked or reached post limit. It's annoying to write a whole response and then click 'Post' just to get an error like that.

Greetings appleman and friends. I have a simple request that I would like you to evaluate (and provide feedback if it is in the negative as to why since I'd be curious to hear about it). Please add: webm, webp, and jpe to the list of accepted extensions for uploaded files. jpe is just an alias for jpg. It's mostly for convenience since a lot of stupid pictures I pull have jpe and I always end up having to rename them when I want to upload. You might already have webm, but I haven't checked and won't spam to do so. webp is definitely not currently permitted, I just had to convert a file. Many regards! If you want, I can create a patch/pull and upload it to the git repo or post it here if that would incline you more, just let me know.

>>9459 There are two parts to this. One is the configuration change to add the extensions to the allowed extensions. WEBM was already allowed. I have made the change to the configuration to add .webp and .jpe . The second part is changing the thumbnailing logic in post.php to do the right thing as opposed to the default thing. Which I just live patched and tested. Now webp , jpe and webm should work. Please test in /test/.

>>9480 >edits 2 things for 1 purpose nice software you have there. very robust.

>>9482 Feel free to contribute, links are in the footer.

Add a memo to the posting box that multiple files can be attached without JS by selecting multiple in the picker window, or just make all 4 fields visible if it's possible with server software. IIRC, arisuchan used to have a syntax memo right there as well.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Appleman's optimal Lainchan is sort of a user published library, a place where a user, without needing any special permissions can look up a particular topic and see what Lainons have to say about it, and maybe even assert their own opinions about the matter, a place where people can professionally debate the popular issues of the day without needing to reveal your identity or powerlevel. I believe that an imageboard such as yours has no room for brewing soykaf, which surely can help a Lainon find what they need quickly and without diversions. But far too many worthy posts have been destroyed, either from the post itself being off topic, or the image, or the thread, or a majority of the other posts. To many the social aspect is lost as well as the entertainment aspect. I propose that instead of wasting the effort an OP put into a post and the pleasure that a casual viewer will recieve, you create a separate board with global rules 0,1,7,8,9,10, and 11 still applying, and disregarding rules 2,3,4,5 and 6. Popular threads and posts can go here instead of being outright deleted. Alternatively, you can create a board which "deleted" threads can go in, and after one week the entire board gets cleared. It is frustrating to want to write a reply or get an answer then suddenly the thread gets deleted.

I find having to press the image, instead of the thread title, to go to thread from catalog, counterintuitive. Perhaps have all the thread-headers link to the thread? Also, listing time of last bump would be convenient, too.

>>9621 You beliefs are your beliefs, but they are not mine, and I don't share your definition of an optimal Lainchan or even the concept of an optimal Lainchan or even that the concept of Appleman's Lainchan are even relevant. You asked to be corrected if you were "wrong", so this is my correction. You don't speak for me and your proposal isn't the correct way to resolve what you describe as worthy posts being destroyed. If you want post not to be deleted, then follow Rule 1 If you break the rules we will delete your post. Do it repeatedly and you'll be derezzed. and it won't be. We are not making a special board where the rules don't apply just because you can't be bothered to follow them. >>9624 Happy to do this customization.

>>9625 To be clear I don't make a lot of posts and I am perfectly willing to follow the rules, which I have always done. Before I wrote my previous post, I had just submitted a reply to a thread in which many of the posts violated rules 3 and 4, and when the page refreshed lo and behold everything is gone. Sometimes it isn't always clear when posts are going to get deleted. I hope you can understand my frustration, if only the thread was locked for a day and then deleted the Lainon I replied to would have recieved my reply. If it wasn't clear before, I would like to know beforehand if the thread is going to be deleted. If you don't like the idea of a deleted board, there are options like marking threads for deletion and locking them, didn't you used to do that? >We are not making a special board where the rules don't apply just because you can't be bothered to follow them. You misunderstand me, this board is where deleted posts can go before they get permanently deleted. This way, when someone hasn't been following their thread very closely they can check on it before it completely vanishes. I suggested one week for the 'sleepy' threads that get deleted, (like the Haibane Renmei thread on /vis/) but I suppose it makes more sense to delete after a day. When they go in the board they can become locked. I apologize, I didn't make it very clear before.

Can we have a piracy board like /t/ on 4chan and 8kun?

Can we have reddit and 4chan word filtered like soykaf, fuarrrk, is like kicking dead whales down the beach etc

>>9679 I could second this, they're mentioned a lot at least. We'd need to come up with some things to enhance it to though First thing that came to mind for 4chan from me would be "that one image board" because then people will think that everyone is just under a wordless agreement to not mention 4chan by name and that'd be neat. I can only think of insulting things for reddit though

>>4325 test

>>9679 I agree. Call it ForkeeedChannel or something like that. Reddit should be Mindspace.

Hello, I'm aware this isn't completely on-topic of this thread, but I didn't find anything that would fit better and I don't want to kill a thread for the sake of a question like that. So, getting to the point - is it possible to send a POST request to post on Lainchan (instead of doing it on the webpage using a browser)? I think it should be, but sending it to linktothread+"/post" or linktothread+"/post.php" gives me a 403. If this is possible, can anyone here give me some pointers on where I am going wrong (and maybe how to go right)?

hello :DD can lainchan use a 4096-bit RSA cert? or 256 ECC?

I've requested it before but being able to add an image to a post from your clipboard would be nice. When I use screenshot tools I'd like to be able to just paste the image in a related post instead of saving the image and then uploading it.

arabic support.

I'm sure a lot of us would be more comfortable posting if there anti-stylometry was implicitly applied to posts. After all, lainons are generally pro-privacy. It could even be something as simple as canonicalizing posted text, and substituting "interesting" words (e.g. those with a high Scrabble value) for common alternatives. Obviously, that's a bit of work as any existing code isn't really "there yet". It's just a jumping off point.

>>9878 That could be fun as an option, but automatically editing posts by default can easily cause issues. >false positives >ruining quotes and references >synonyms may require context to correctly translate It would be good at least to be able to preview the changes before submitting.

>>9878 >>9879 It could be like the spell checking most forums used to have, just a button to find/replace words that have more common synonyms. I don't know on the top of my head any openly available thesauruses or complete word frequency lists that aren't Google though.

>>9885 Honestly, a list could probably be pulled offline. Common words (for this purpose) don't change that frequently. It would probably be best done that way so that technical terms can be easily omitted.

>>1190 More file format support.

Can you make it so I can report threads from /mega/? Some nonce keeps posting CP on /zzz/.

I think that Lainchan should have a feature that temporarily deletes (or temporarily marks as spoiler) the image of a post if it is reported specifically as CP, porn or gore, and only re-adds the image after it is reviewed by a moderator or admin. And after that it can't be reported again. Its potential for abuse is much lesser than quarantining the entire post (even less so if the image is just marked as spoiler), and I think that what bothers most people about those two is being forced to look at the thumbnail or browse a different board.

>>9978 This would require a way to unspoiler or restore a deleted image, which we currently don't have at present.

Make /omega/ refer to tech

>>7848 https://github.com/ap-oc/draft-userscript/blob/main/draft.js Took me an hour to get reacquainted with userscripts but I made something and it appears to be functional. You can type out a post, close the window, come back to lainchan, and the unfinished post will still be there. It won't keep track of and sync the quick-reply-box[2] input but its contents are "carried" over to the post-box[1] whenever you scroll up to the top of the page, when the quick-reply box is hidden. I'll test it out and play with it some more. ## References & definitions - [1]Post-box: the HTML inputs at the top of the page - [2]Quick-reply-box: the "hovering" quick reply feature that follows page scroll and

Not sure if it's more of a feature request, or a bug. But when you report a post from /mega/, and it brings you to submitted page, after clicking return it returns you to the catalog of the board the reported post was on. I'd expect it to bring me back to /mega/ at least. Maybe not big of an issue, but still somewhat annoying.

>>9982 this and also make /prog/ refer to /λ/, it's much quicker to type than /lambda/ on a qwerty keyboard

>Requests for Features A public moderation log. And what happened to the flying car thread in /tech/?

>>1191 An onion mirror would be very nice; I wouldn't have to use an exit node!

>>10294 This. It'd be great. It'd also be nice to have some form of thread archiving, though that's not quite a board-specific feature. Current raid illustrates why that'd be a good idea.

will there ever be an onion?

/hum/ narrowly includes humanity renaming the board /ter/ - terranity includes non-human animals (i.e. otherkin)

>>10406 From WIkipedia Otherkin are a subculture of people who identify as not entirely human. Humanity and /hum/ like it, include and do not exclude otherkin, as well as other identity based derivations of alternate identitykin concepts, because the map is not the territory. Also humanity has at least 3 definitions, the first referring to humans as a collective regardless of identity or belief system. The second referring to traits commonly shared by humanity, e.g. kindness / humane and the third referring to the human condition. Identity and identity expression, experience are all parts of the human condition. It seems it only you that define otherkin as not human, rather than being transhuman in terms of their identity and human biologically.

observing proponents of Ubuntu morality I note they tend to avoid "humanity" with a preference for saying personhood to include non-human beings in non-human wetware who some how or another earn that distinction . I appreciate the idea of calling any sentient life human , however not all of the world has faith in the human ability to challenge the biases of physical form .

Posts that fail because they look automated, or similar reasons, should retain whether the post was attempted with email:sage or not.

firstly there is no /hum/ board at the top, at least on phones, maybe other boards are missing too. secondly, lambda delta and omega can not be typed easily, so while it's keeping with the theme, it's bad for user experience, because I can't type the URL.

>>10504 This isn't a bug, but a default feature because your screen is too small. But I have disabled the feature/ You should be able to click on the links on the top bar, alternately you can use the options menu to change the board aliasing to something that better suits you.

>>10505 you suck. white male nerds have been screwed online and irl by the elites and you vermin do nothing. working class goons can go out and arrest you any time

>>10504 Dump phoneposter is dumb. Spelling lambda redirects to [ λ ]. >>10505 To be honest, this chan interface is too unoptimized for neither phoneposting or widescreens or hi-dipi displays. Layout concept is still from 1280*1024 era, works on ~1000px wide windows, terrible on anything wider or narrower. Alicechan did better. - Text wrapping should be fixed on posts with files, description contains useless unix timestamp, aspect ratio. - Catalog entries are unscrollable which makes Ctrl+F-ing bothersome (I have to look up page source), good you have a server-side search, but it doesn't work on all boards simultaneously. - Additionally, catalog link should be located on top of each thread near [ Return / Go to bottom ], or both Return and Catalog should be incorporated into board title above. - And collapse the posting form please, it takes ridiculous amount of space. - Actually, each new opened thread page is 3/4 filled with garbage not related to reading this thread, OP post is contained in the remaining 1/4.

I think lainchan should start using Cloudflare's CDN and DDOS protection to save money and protect spammers. I also think they should have a captcha, preferably ReCaptcha or hCaptcha, and they should block all Tor exit nodes.

>>10555 Can you elaborate on the reasoning behind your thoughts ? We already have separate non Cloudflare related DDOS protection, we already have a securecaptha implementation that isn't enabled, why should we enable a captcha and why recapthca or hcaptcha ?

>>10557 It's bait, read the email field

>>10557 >we already have a securecaptha implementation that isn't enabled Is it open source and does it work without js?

>>10581 Yes , it just is not enabled or well tested on this site.

There have been several requests for an onion service, going back all the way to the start of this thread, 4 years ago. Is there a reason as to why Appleman1234 hasn't even commented on this widely popular feature request to this day? I was just going to voice support for it as well.

>>10584 I have commented on this multiple times in multiple threads every time it is suggested. It wasn't responded to in this thread, because it was normally covered by replies in other threads. As per https://lainchan.org/static/LainchanAGMTranscript.txt, from 2017, the major reasons we don't have an onion service is because of possible violation of our hosting provider's AUP, and because of the additional work required moderate spam from a hidden / onion service, if a direct mirror of the site was hosted.

>>10585 Right now you ban random exit nodes which only makes it a problem for casual users who use Tor, a malicious actor can always choose the fresh exit or proxy and continue spamming. Introducing captcha might work.

>>10583 can you enable it on /r/ board for a week or so? i want to test it. is it added in lainchan repo? if not, why isn't it added yet?

I made this post here >>>/sec/17591 I tried to break the link but it still detected the yahoo link and I think the problem here is your site still makes href links available which is bad if someone who isn't using http referer remover clicks the link it will report to the Big Tech that the anon who clicked had been browsing lainchan and much worse since this is like an open chatroom the big tech can assume that the timeof_when_it_was_clicked == the_poster_of_the_link or the next_reply_to_the_post_of_that_thread This is the same concept as just the dns logs can break identity of someone's anonymous imageboard posts as the lurker making the dns request can be correlated to whatever the next post of the same timestamp will be on the public imageboard - it's public and even more reason to disable external hrefs. I don't want to be someone's problem later on as I like to refer external links to my posts and have someone click a Big Tech link and end up on someone's list like some AUS anon or something. I think 8 already blocks these clickable links for anonymity measure.

API to retrieve board list?

>>10603 Can we have rel="noreferrer" over links if they ever become links? I know this is more of a software side and can break on its own but if there was ever no plans to removing auto link generation then adding a rel="noreferrer" is the best compromise so at least the links clicked will not be tied back to the link clicker revealing that they've been to lainchan in that very same thread in the ref header sent to the external site. This is more of an html thing so I guess some obscure or homemade browsers might ignore it entirely but I guess that's much better than nothing? We already have rel="nofollow" but I think that's barely useful, at least rel="nofollow noreferrer" should suffice maybe for this request? Will this change though update how the previous posts generate rel values for <a> tag?

i2p site? some extra words because not enough words

Cyclic threads. I severely doubt I have to explain what a cyclic thread is but nonetheless, I'll explain it and then spoiler it. hachichan has a feature such that a thread can contain a certain number of posts, but then, when the thread exceeds its post-limit, new posts are automatically added, it's just that the older posts at the top of the thread are also automatically removed. The reason why I want cyclic threads is because what I really want is a containment thread for all of the whining about the internet. I desire a single, cyclic, "Internet Grievances" thread and I want people that whine outside of the thread to get their thread locked and to receive a warning. /q/ forbids complaining about Lainchan's quality, but then completely permits unlimited complaining about the quality of the rest of the internet. I mean, I don't know why you'd ban complaining about Lainchan's quality, but I have to imagine it's because the whining is annoying. Well, I think internet-whining, in general, is getting a bit annoying. Either that, or, and I have to consider this, I spend too much time here and so my sense of the scale of the whining is magnified. I definitely intend to dial my time here significantly back, such that I only visit once a month.

>>11115 Lainchan already supports cyclic threads, we just don't use them very often. Because they are another thing you have shepherd users into using.

>>11119 I've made threads on Lainchan before and I don't recall being offered the option to make it cyclic. How does one use it?

I think the vent thread(s) on /hum/ are a good candidate to be turned into a cyclic thread. >>11128 Only a mod can set a thread to cyclic mode.

Would it be possible to add something like forced naming or tagging to certain mentally unstable/obsessive posters if you don't/can't ban them effectively? There are more than a few very interesting individuals on this site that make the same kind of weird/low effort/incomprehensible/any combination of the three posts and threads about their pet topics all the time, and either just ban evade whenever they get derezzed or aren't getting derezzed in the first place because they barely stay inside the rules and banning being not very effective. Having them being labelled while being allowed to continue their posting would allow other users to easily filter them while hopefully making it less likely for then to evade again because they get to keep posting, which is all these people really want to do, most of them don't care or even recognise if people are engaging with them or not.

>>11182 >Would it be possible to add something like forced naming or tagging to certain mentally unstable/obsessive posters if you don't/can't ban them effectively? No. >There are more than a few very interesting individuals on this site that make the same kind of weird/low effort/incomprehensible/any combination of the three posts and threads about their pet topics all the time, and either just ban evade whenever they get derezzed or aren't getting derezzed in the first place because they barely stay inside the rules and banning being not very effective. This is the only reliable way to recognize those posters.

>>1190 >>11183 If you add a sage feature (such as a checkmark above the "spoiler image" button), could it say sneed instead of sage I'll donate $100 if you actually do that and make it say sneed

>>11183 >>11184 Sage feature already exists, but you only get to use it for posts you make, unless you are staff. >>11182 Yes it would possible, but as >>11183 indicates, it wouldn't be 100% or even 50% reliable without additional changes to the identity system detection used by Lainchan. Using the current functionality without changes, would just result in a poor mans version of the feature that upsets users. If I have the time I will see what I can do about improving the identity detection, as well as the ability for posts to be tagged in general (kind of like a booru, but not )

What would be a good way to enhance the language for 'most secure' or 'more secure'? I think it's long overdue.

>>11202 I'll still donate some money :)

A theme that is centered (like arisu) but in all other ways is like Mono E. Lain Cyber

>>11204 'more secure' = Schizophrenic 'most secure' = Sluggish schizophrenic

>>11211 You can use custom CSS in Options or did you want this added as a new preset CSS theme ?

>>11216 Hmm, not sure how the grammar would flow. Proposal: "better/best marketed". Simple, meaningful, not a dumb imageboard slur.

>>11223 Yeah that's probably better perhaps "more/most memed"

It would be nice if we had a search tool

>>11445 https://www.lainchan.org/search.php

>>7474 >could the search page be added to the top bar? Adding myself to this feature request.

Please, please, please remove sticky posts from overboards such as /cult/. It makes absolutely no sense for them to be displayed, it's meant to be 'freshly bumped threads' only, which it ain't. Almost feel like a bug.

It would be nice if search.php allowed for multiple boards, or all boards, to be searched at once. My suggestion is either replacing the board drop down with a checkbox list or allowing a filter in the search itself. I briefly looked at the search.php code and don't think it would be hard to implement. I'd be happy to do it myself if this was a feature lainchan would accept.

why doesn't lainchan have an onion? it seems weird for a site of this nature. my exit node has no business knowing i visit this site, so please create one.

We need a science board. Before you say that not enough science threads exist to justify a science board, I should point out that people are not posting science threads because there is no science board. There is an incredible amount of topics contained in the "science" category, and there will never not be something new to discuss.

Feature request: hey bro do you think maybe you could take a minute to write some real error messages instead of making me sit here fuarrrking around and trying to figure out what triggers patronizing soykaf like "please make a better post"?

>>10283 Will we ever get public moderation logs?

>>12739 nope. /hum/ had a big shut it down moment a short bit ago. somebody noticed, and the mods bent the knee.

>>12566 >>12729 found the solution. you can put opus into webm, and flac into ogg. >ffmpeg -i x.flac -c copy x.ogg media containers are great, allow one & get all kinds of codecs.

>>12765 oh i forgot ogg actually supports both opus and flac, so webm is unnecessary. not all players expect such codecs in ogg, yet in browsers it all just works. (is it enough text?)

>>9020 >>11044 >>12042 +1 for the math board, with |math| tags. There are many people on lainchan interested in discussing math, you have a few threads on /lit/, some discussion on /lambda/ and some other mentions here and there. If there was an actual board for it people would all go there and be active instead of being stranded in random places. A general science board is too risky IMO, you might end up with 4ch/sci/ and /hum/ people, spamming threads about conspiracies, iq and other mindless bait. I think a math board with a few threads about other sciences (physics,chem,any applied math to real world problem) could work. I'd personally volunteer to be a janny if the issue is the lack of people for a new board.

>>1190 a proper archive of deleted posts that doesn't cross the line of being too ns-fw or c-p. there's a lot of things that have been deleted due to the subjectivity of simply appleman not liking them, entire discussions wiped and lost to time, and we all know this place is nicer than any other imageboard so it's really a shame to loose these precious things completely(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST, I would reply but you mind is already incorrectly made up. I don't delete posts based on how I feel about them, posts are only deleted if they are identified as rule violations.)

where's the /diy/ thread for getting fit? the one with vegetta and his wife as picrel on the original post

>>13003 Same user. But, isn't it too much? Nuking a thread when maybe it's just two users? Not trying to be disrespectful or anything, i just care about things that have value not getting lost and it really isn't practical to bother mods every time something like this happens (not because of the messaging platform, but because it shouldn't be this easy to loose threads in here, honestly)

I dunno if you guys need a reminder but it better be SNOWING on the chan like the good old days tomorrow and if its not then I shall personally write to my congressmen to request that every square mile of australia be hit by nuclear hellfire

>>13033 Lain snow has been activated all year, but you need to enable Enable Special Event Effects in Options in order to see it. Lain Santa and Christmas musiic are also up.

>>13034 >snow >infinite flying lain heads give it to an aussie to mess this up hang on lemme find my stamps

>>13035 If you want to suggest an alternate snow image or change it using a browser script one you can do so, instead of threatening nuclear hellfire.

>>13036 If I have to go check a box to make it happen thats just ridiculous, if I dont want weird effects I'd use a browser that doesn't permit them. Effect was neat and funny because it was provided as a surprise upon visitors. Anyone on here can disable it or set it up for himself if he wants to so there's zero point in this feature as it exists. Any half decent chan owner can make it happen correctly, I know because we had a less than half decent one a few years ago and he made it happen.

I could have sworn that avatarfagging was derezzed, but I guess it isn't. Can that be a new rule? I also suggest that the order of rules 8 and 9 be swapped and maybe clarified. It looks kind of sketchy phrased the way it is now.

please pin the tech questions thread & make it infinite. thank you. filler text filler text filler text text text

/sec/ -> /⏚/ /sec/ -> /⏚/ /sec/ -> /⏚/

Is it possible to modify flood detection so that it doesn't match against the text of deleted posts? This shouldn't make spamming easier because there would still only be 1 post in the end. Right now it's extremely frustrating to fix any errors in a post.

>>13094 Same request for attempted posts that do not have the same content but are just too close together. Example: User successfully posts "ABC" at 10:30:00. User then attempts to post "XYZ" at 10:30:15. This is blocked because it's too soon after the first post. User waits until 10:40:00 to re-attempt posting "XYZ", but the text "XYZ" is still blocked. But user has no problem posting "123" at 10:35:00, presumably because "XYZ" has been added to some database as spam text.

Please upload the zines as .epub, my single core cpu is not a big fan of the bloated .pdf format. I look like this and say this.

>>13120 ive been looking for this image for years, thanks. now i need to find the less compressed version.

>>13120 man qpdfview in settings allow it to have at least 256mb of Cache size

>>13120 Can't you convert them with pandoc?

>>13145 Do you have the slightest idea how fuarrrked the output is likely to look?

can you add a language enhancement for rumble.com? all the spammers seem to love it recently

can we have a similar rule like heyuri rule 8 where posts with 4chan buzzwords gets deleted? i'm not suggesting copying every line but maybe deleting posts with buzzwords and ***mer stuff to discourage it. i don't think warnings and filters are enough and i'd rather have less but quality visitors than more 4chan tourists than think every imageboard is 4chan and don't respect site culture, the're annoying as hell and lower evert thread quality everytime.

>>13152 can you explain how enforcement of this would be different than it already is? the pepe/wojak spammers know they're soykaf posting and making an explicit rule about them might give the 16 year olds even more of a complex. it would be funny to start banning people for rule 0 when their posts are bad. the main difference I see is rule d more implicitly includes multi paragraph bait like a quarter of /hum/ threads are (and spilling into diy and tech) and rule e is concerned with greentext. but I don't think greentext is that much of a problem?

>>13155 i didn't mean to copy over the entire rule. rule c and d would be fine already, and afaik now they don't get deleted or even filtered at all, that's what can change. personally i would enforce the entire rule, but this is just a suggestion.

>>13155 >>13156 typo, i mean rule b and c and any 4chan slang in general. Flood detected; Post discarded.

>>13152 The low effort posters don't usually stick around, but they are still quite annoying since there are a lot of them, so even if each one is only making a single post, it adds up. Probably could be solved by just doing some kind of sentiment analysis on the first post from an IP, where if it has a sufficiently negative sentiment and is sufficiently short, we can safely assume that it's an unproductive post and basically shadowban that post. Also, based and cringe don't really seem to be a problem on this site (as of now, hopefully it stays that way), but maybe if a post is mostly buzzwords it getting filtered to "bzz bzzzz bzzz" or something would be funny. >>13161 For example, this guy's post has 43 words, 19 of the words are "content words" (words that aren't pronouns or articles or common verbs), of those 19 content words 8 are buzzwords ("go back" "Reddit" "hugbox" "seethe" "muh" "toxic" "troons"), 11 if you include "board culture" and "tards". So his buzzword percent would be 42-58%, depending on which words you want to count as buzzwords. So then we would set a threshold, possibly linearly related to the size of the post, and any posts with a buzzword percent above this threshold gets turned into mosquito buzzing.

>>13164 >the low effort posters don't usually stick around they mostly don't. i hope that one guy whos creepily obsessed with Spice Bear gets shown the door soon. or kills himself when his rumble influencer goddess rejects him. there should really be a filter for rumble.com links to be honest.. >sentiment analysis language enhancer honestly a good idea, it would require more coding however and i feel like there's other ambitious programming goals the site is behind on.. >ip based reputational system ehh i know a chan that tried that and it didn't achieve much besides preventing a very particular spammer from posting revenge porn (he still posted other soykaf), and basically making the site more reddit. in the past VPNs and tor were default denied image permissions from lainchan i wonder if something similar could be implemented again now/

>>13167 I never mentioned a reputation system. Please shadowbox with someone else.

>>13164 >low effort posters don't usually stick around what are you basing that off of I have compelling evidence that sometimes high effort posters low effort post but I guess I'd be willing to believe that 75+% of low effort posts are by posters who never effortpost

>>13164 buzzwordposting really pisses me off. always thought words should be treated the same as users - spam too much, and you get derezzed.

>>1190 Wheres the board where I can talk about anime and nippon?

>>13180 If you are actually discussing anime because of its art style or animation or storytelling use /vis/ , other wise use /r/. For stuff about Japan, use /r/ or /hum/ (if it is about culture or people).

>>13222 Hey appleman, can we get a general / stickied / something "FRIENDSHIP DISCUSSION" thread on /hum/ Currently we have like 5+ threads discussing various aspects of friendship with varying levels of quality (e.g: how to make friends online/offline- how to keep friends- how to deal with too few or too many friends- etc). To try and stem the constant tide of friend-threads, can we just get a friendship general to pile all this stuff in one place? Pros: - less churning of /hum/ threads to the /friendship/ plague - cleaner /mega/ - potentially higher quality discussion from post-concentration Cons: - None. nice digits

>>13356 I will see what consolidation can be done, some of the threads are separate enough to not be consolidated, but other threads probably should be. I would rather not make a new general, but instead consolidae existing threads then sticky one of those.

>>11101 I second this. Just read: > our own store that will sell merchandise and accept Bitcoin, PayPal and credit cards Cool, but no monero option?

Perma-banning Tor exit nodes is completely redundant and it only stops future well-intentioned Tor posters from leaving content onto this site. May you do something about it? Creating an onion address seems like the easiest way out.

>>13479 Testing. Are they banning Tor now? Well-intentioned Tor poster here, I don't abuse Tor and I reported many of those CSAM ads using Tor.(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST, Tor isn't banned, but certain tor nodes have bans from spam abuse and take a while to get ban appealed. Thanks for your patience )

>>1190 Have custom, non-default names have a different color than just the regular light green that every name uses. make it blue or something.

>>1191 It has been 8 years since this request was made but still it would be nice to have.

This probably has been requested before, but editing one's own reply would make it possible to improve the quality of it. Obviously this would open up the possibility of maliciously changing the overall message of a thread; therefore, I propose these limiting rules: - Posts can only be edited for 48h. - There is a public or non-public diff log for each post. - Mods can revert changes of a post. This can also open up the possibility of letting people fix posts from others, as long as they don't change the underlying message. Mods could decide on that; a public diff log would obviously spare a lot of outrage in that case. Sadly this would also make the attackable surface to this site bigger, so that's kind of a bummer.

A few months ago I saw a CP image in Mega. Isn't there a public hash database or API for detecting CSAM? Automatically checking each image before it gets posted would spare this site from possibly getting attacked by the public. But maybe those hash checks are already in place, and I'm just yapping.

>>13714 it just fuarrrking keeps happening can mods get on this? like soykaf like this is so stupid

>>13714 a solution might be pic related

If this pedo soykaf doesn't get fixed soon, I will leave this site. It's getting obvious that the admins here don't give a soykaf about CP. honestly disgusting behavior. Everyone who thinks that CP is ok should reconsider their value to this planet; maybe everyone else would be better off without you.

saw a livestream of someone's server and just had to make this banner

>>13782 (me) first of all im new here and idk if this is the correct thread to ask this, but would it be appropriate to make a new thread for banners (the faq mentions to make one if it does not exist, but i dont really see people making them) i have liked lainchan so far and would like to contribute in some way other than threads, but would idk if other people would create banners (or if they are added anyomre) please give your inputs on this ^.^

PLEASE FIX THE GO AWAY, SPAMMER ISSUE ITS BEEN A YEAR
