Suggestions

We have a bug thread, this is a suggestion thread.

Can we have a post-editing-like feature? Not editing-per-se, but automation of the process of deleting a post and making a new one with minor changes. You make your edits, click "edit" and the server deletes your old post, and creates a new one, just like you would manually.

>>2861 >and the server deletes your old post, and creates a new one Maybe this is just me not understanding image boards but why would you need to delete your old post to edit it? In SQL a query like UPDATE posts SET text='apple' WHERE id=123 would solve this in one go. Anyhow, I'm in favor of having this feature, sure could come in handy.

>>2862 Because it's not interesting for people to edit their posts in the normal fashion in an imageboard. I say bananas, you say i said bananas, i edit my post for tomatoes. Now all the world knows you're a big fat liar and a nanana lover. It's just an undesirable feature for imageboards, deleting is more final.

>>2860 delete half the fuarrrking boards [ sci / tech / lambda ] [ cult / drg / zzz ] [ layer / q / r] objective. subjective. meta/misc. just do it already. we all know a consolidation is coming.

>>2887 There is another thread for that specific subject.

I know this won't be popular (this is a cyberpunk based imageboard afterall), but I'd like it if posting ID's were instituted for the duration that this drama between .jp and .org is going on. It would make it alot easier to see if the the drama is just fabricated by one or two lainons repeatedly posting about how much .jp is like kicking dead whales down the beach, or if there is real concern among the community. Ideally a temporary thing until all this soykaf blows over.

>>2892 I think that would only create more drama if the reason was for .jp specifically. IDs as a general concept are ok tho.

>>2892 >I know this won't be popular >It would make it alot easier to see if the the drama is just fabricated by one or two lainons repeatedly posting about how much .jp is like kicking dead whales down the beach, or if there is real concern among the community. Or it might also prove that "jp did nothing wrong" is pushed by the same people over and over again. Or it would, if they weren't using tor to post (or log in, like Junk). IDs aren't a bad idea, but it would only identify people that do not bother to change identities, because there are not here to push a narrative, but to express their concern.

We need more boards. In fact let's make lainchan into a meme board where users can make their own boards.

>>2899 >let's make lainchan into a meme board where users can make their own boards NO.

>>2899 I suggested /out/ and nobody cared. Now that applebaum is adding boards left and right, maybe he can add /out/

>>3086 what is /out/ ? is this some kind of gay thing or what?

>>3087 Probably for outside activities, Lain. Technically, gay things can be included. But i imagine it's closer to photography, woodworking and things like that.

Having browser notifications would be neat. You pin a few threads, whenever someone posts you get notified in your browser.

>>3119 We already have thread-watcher.js , though it doesn't have notifications. Does https://github.com/lainchan/lainchan/blob/master/js/watch.js do what you are asking ? watch.js was removed from the configuration because it caused some other things to break, but that can be troubleshooted and fixed.

>>3120 Yep, that's even better than what i suggested. That way you only need to open one lainchan page to check all threads you're a part of. Notifications would vanish after a few seconds, this systems lets you get away from the computer, come back and quickly check your stuff.

>>3086 Combine all subboards of cult or make an /etc/ subboard of cult so related posts don't have to go to /r/.

>>3108 >>3087 /out/ includes stuff like camping, hiking, outdoor photography, all-around outdoorsy stuff.

>>2860 Where is /sci/?!

Often times i'm browsing one board and then i reach the bottom and i need to go up again to click on "catalog". Maybe having a "catalog" link would help usability for other people, i know it'd be helpful for me.

cmon mods, we have 4 active .jp threads, the "censorship" threads are obviously for and maybe even by .jp, all posts talk about the exact same old subject. How in the name of baby anti-christ haven't these been deleted? Jesus, look at /q/, all posts are about that bullsoykaf. Come the fuarrrk on. We're past the point where this shouldn't be tolerated. It's bullsoykaf and it's fuarrrking tiresome.

Can we have some better CSS for the boards navbar? So it doesn't stretch over multiple lines.

>>3254 HTML wraps when it reaches the end of a window.

>>3256 I know lain, but you can scale the data to the viewport. Or even render the data in a slightly different manner (4chan uses a dropdown on smaller widths, for ex).

If I enable js on lainchan, autoscrolling behaves weirdly. It scrolls slowly and basically gets stuck on that speed until accelerating way too much. I can't reproduce this with tor-browser, so it might have something to do with an addon I use. It does only ever happen on here, though.

>>3310 Oh fuarrrk, I only read 'bug thread' and posted that here and now can't delete it because of self destructing cookies. Sorry

Can we remove /q/ from /mega/? Lainchan is comfy, /q/ kills the comfy. Whoever has something to say about meta subjects can come on /q/ and say it, it doesn't belong on /mega/ at all. It's just out of place there. Every single low quality post comes from here. Not only that but having /q/ on /mega/ makes it more appealing for nonfat-soykaf drinkers to come here for attention, since they know they'll get derezzed in other boards.

>>3538 This has been implemented, see https://lainchan.org/news.html for further information.

>>3607 Neat!

When a quoted post is linked from mega the url doesnt work, the one next to the post id i mean. example: https://lainchan.org/mega/index.html#249 should resolve to https://lainchan.org/inter/res/32.html#249

Can we trim some of these stickies?

radical suggestion here: ban pedophiles.

/cl/ child love board please

Whenever people are responding to a post where that post is responding to another post they have to annotate their post at the top with something like: [I am not the person youre responding to] That gets tedious, there should be a feature where you can flag your post as not being the same person as the one their post is responding to.

>>2860 I propose we remove /q/ from the navbar until the storm passes. This soykaf isn't going anywhere.

>>4020 fuarrrk you, this would just be trying to silence people's complaints. Such blatant censorship would make things 1000% worse.

>>4020 I second this. These threads are beneath lainchan.

>>4041 Burying criticism isn't going to help Lainchan, though. First off, it's just going to spill into other boards. Second, people would be (rightfully) pissed off. We already removed /q/ from /mega/, anything past that would be, like >>4028 said, blatant censorship.

>>4042 No. Censorship would be permanently deleting /q/. Removing it from the navbar will just let things cool down. It doesn't prevent people from going there.

>>4028 /q/ is specifically for complaints, if anyone is interested in reading about it, they can come here. There's more traffic than usual with low quality posts, since /q/ cannot be moderated as well as other boards. Doesn't make any logical sense to include /q/ on mega, otherwise most posts on mega would be from /q/, not only that but these posts would have far, far less moderation and thus not reflect what lainchan is.

>>4046 Remember the outrage, when the top bar was made display:none in CSS, because I remember. Thanks for your suggestion, by the way, but /q/ was already removed from /mega/ and /megaq/ was also made for those that want it. A client side board list alias that hides /q/ from the top bar can also be made, but it won't be on by default, as per the previous statements of opt-in changes by default.

>>4051 I think drama should be opt-in.

>>4055 Trying to censor drama would probably cause a lot of drama.

>>4055 >I think drama should be opt-in. THIS

>>4109 I think being subject to Appleman's bullsoykaf should be opt-in, but we can't all have what we want.

>>4189 It is opt-in. Nobody is forcing you to visit this place, specially /q/. This is the definition of opt-in, you do it if you want to.

heres a fuarrrking suggestion. when i report a post i dont fuarrrking want it to open after the report is done so everyone can see its illegal content on my screen

>>4215 vouch

The joke tag should be automatically cleaned from the field so a post isn't accidentally posted with it again.

i'm sorry if this is the wrong thread, but i didn't really know where to put this. this is a simple comment for lainchan. i'm a newbie newt but i love the site. i swear i won't cancer it up, i'll mostly only lurk, but if i'll ever post, it'll be where it needs to be posted, and how it needs to be posted, with regards to rules and community guidelines. i wanted to say that for the few hours that i've spent browsing, i have realized that lainchan is something precious. we must do what we can to preserve it and keep it alive for the years to come. if i had money, i'd donate. i only have one question; some people said that the site was better in older times. how true is this ? how was lainchan some years back ? it's probably someone complaining in the same way on how 4chan's /b/ used to be so great or something. i come flowing from 8chan, by the way. so, everything is said, i'm already enjoying the place, and if you think i'm an annoyance, i'll only ever lurk, promise.

the rss feed is running amok the post is truncated so you can tell nothing from it and comments are mixed in and just.. it would be so cool to load threads. plz hear my prayers

Can we have some pinned resources in /lamda/? Like open source society, mit open courseware, etc..

>>4382 Know that I'm mulling over this and intend to implement it. Feel free to suggest resources and I'll peruse them to see if they're suitable. I don't particularly use this manner of resource much. One option I'm strongly considering is locating the main online documentation for many languages and providing mainly this manner of links in such a sticky. The sticky can be amended as time goes on, to correct omissions.

>>4389 >One option I'm strongly considering is locating the main online documentation for many languages and providing mainly this manner of links in such a sticky. Wouldn't that be a little redundant though? The main documentation is usually the first thing anyone goes to. I think a list of resources should be less implicit, things a beginner wouldn't know about, generally useful resources for programmers, specially beginners. What i think about when i think of resources for programmers is basically what you would find on /g/ or any github "awesome list" As for suggestions: https://github.com/open-source-society/computer-science https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science http://regexr.com/ https://www.sololearn.com/ https://www.codesdope.com/ https://www.learn-cpp.org/ https://www.nayuki.io/ https://learn.saylor.org/course/index.php?categoryid=9 https://openhatch.org/ http://www.firsttimersonly.com/ http://www.tldp.org/guides.html http://ryanstutorials.net/linuxtutorial/

radical idea: ban pedos

>>4443 go back to jp

>>4444 nice quads

I want to be able to bookmark radio stations For example https://lainchan.org/radio#cafe (Or, better yet, https://lainchan.org/radio?channel=cafe since no Jewva Script required)

Could we get a copy of (or a link to) the IRC rules on the rules page, or IRC page, or both? is like kicking dead whales down the beach getting a "derezzed for rules X, Y, and Z" message but not being able to see what those rules are... because you're derezzed.

Our Glorious Leader Appleman1234 should find a Community Manager from the outside (not a member of the pre-schism administration) perhaps from among the new mods and jannies.

I have an idea. Let's automate the "go back to .jp" thing. Whenever somebody posts here in /q/, a dialog should appear saying exactly that, so we can spare users the effort of having to do that themselves.

I don't want to get punished by having to discard a post I've written because a thread was locked not even 30 posts in. I feel like posting my post elsewhere now so it doesn't go to waste. I think a one-last-post when a thread is locked should be an option provided a thread isn't absolutely soikafy. I'd rather post stuff that I wrote for the intended recipient rather than another community. By having at least a single ending post I can do this in all situations.

>>4606 gb2 jp?

If i click from a catalog to other boards it should open its catalog too.

How about webp support?

Hey, how about not redirecting me to a thread i have reported? i dont want illegal spam soykaf on my screen

Why not a random background for the home page from the posted images?

Why does Lainchan want to load ~52 instances of JS? I can't think of any reason why any imageboard would need that much. The load on each one isn't particularly high, but together it makes up for quite a bit of "noise" and is certainly not needed.

>>5207 micropackage jquery BS. Have you looked at them? Most are a couple hundred lines long and more than a few are < 100

Thread was locked citing "rule violations" but mod didn't use the magic blue text to point out which posts were breaking the rules and why. Suggestion: get a mod for /r/ who knows what he's doing. https://lainchan.org/r/res/2345.html#q6870

>>5216 >Suggestion: get a mod for /r/ who knows what he's doing. that will be taken into consideration

>>5216 I've noticed that mods have stopped using warnings to keep threads on track. They just watch the thread deteriorate and then lock it.

Please change the language enhancers. I feel like a fuarrrking 12-yo on GameFAQs with this soykaf. Just fuarrrking embarrassing. Also, I realize that you fence-sitting glitterboys don't want to talk on the jew, but that will become increasingly impossible as they ever escalate their white genocide plan.

>>5232 This is a board for a subculture, not your personal army. Nobody wants you soykafting up a cyb board made for fun with le culture war. I'm here for threads like the one where an anon snuck a piratebox into his school's cafeteria, not more fuarrrking feels threads for you to whine about how it's schlomo's fault you're a beta. >Suggestion: keep the language enhancers because they make insecure snowflakes like this uncomfortable and it's funny as fuarrrrrrrrrrrrk, and whoever derezzed c*ckold has my thanks.

>>5251 It's ironic that you call him an insecure snowflake while at the same time you endorse language enhancers so you don't have to hear any truth that might hurt your feelings. You leftards are pathetic.

>>5254 >you endorse language enhancers so you don't have to hear any truth that might hurt your feelings I'm not the person you've replied to but I don't see how language enhancers are stopping anyone from spreading the so called "truth". >You leftards are pathetic. Nor do I see why you're trying to make this a political discussion.

Quick reply feature. It will be great.

What do you mean by a quick reply feature? You can just click on a post number

>>5268 obviously meant for >>5267

Instant ban to anyone who claims to come from 4chan or 8chan, no soykaf allowed here

>>2892 Hello, I am new to these sites (I enjoy them both). Can someone please explain this drama to me?

>>5319 Once upon a time, there was a little pirate boat, and the crew was happy, even if the captain jacked off in public a bit more than was deemed acceptable even among pirates. One day the captain sold his ship to a rich cowboy for a whole chest of gold and snuck out with all his officers at night, while everyone was sleeping, without telling the crew. But on the way out they set the ship on fire and put holes in all the lifeboats, because that was hilarious. The new captain was a little bit eccentric, and insisted on taking all the lanterns away below decks and taking the labels off all the supplies and cargo, he said, to stop the rats in the hold from knowing what to eat. But rats can't read anyway, and the crew never knew if they were opening a barrel of rum, or oil, or water, or gunpowder, so as you can imagine there was quite a muddle and even talk of a mutiny, and the new captain said they were all too stupid to understand his thought process, which didn't win him any fans either, I can tell you. In the meantime the old captain and his officers had built a fine new ship with the same name that looked very pretty, and they shot holes in the old ship with their cannons and wondered why the crew on the old ship were angry with them, so they shot them some more, and wondered why the old crew wouldn't join them on their shiny new ship no matter how much they shot them, and it was a big job trying to keep the big new empty ship going with only officers and no crew. Finally the old captain and his officers got tired of shooting at the old ship, changed their ship's name, hauled anchor, and sailed away, and no-one ever heard from them again, and people say they wrecked the ship and all had to eat each other. And the old crew patched up the old ship and kept sailing, even though the new captain was still a complete madman, he'd locked himself in his cabin and wouldn't come out so they could hang him from the yard arm, make him walk the plank, keelhaul him, or any of the other things pirates like to do with friends with unpopular opinions. So they just kept sailing around and around in circles, and people say they still are to this day.

>>5355 This is fuarrrking beautiful.

>>5355 Is this OC?

Can we get a political containment board already? Sokyaf at /r/ is really killing the mood of this chan

>>5385 We've already had /civ/ and it failed horribly.

>>5385 As >>5389 said, that doesn't work. A political containment board ends up working as an invitation for other imageboards to come post here, which ends up spilling to other boards.

suggested further up as well but is there any real opposition to a meatspace board? i'd like to discuss outdoors, weapons, fitness, etc on lain but i'd understand if this really wouldn't be that receptive of a place for that. it would make the chan more well-rounded in my opinion but it is cyber themed after all

>>5482 >is there any real opposition to a meatspace board? Yes there is. Why would we want a dead board when there isn't a big demand for it? If you want to discuss outdoor activity you are free to make a thread about it on /r/. This can also be said for other "we should have xyz board" suggestions.

Dunno if it's possible but a search function across the whole site would be rad, I kinda lost a post I made 3 months ago

>>5502 you can go to https://lainchan.org/mega/catalog.html and type into the search box in the top left

How does lainchan comply (or try to) with the new gdpr rules?

>>5513 lainchan doesn't collect anything and you'd know that if you attended the agm. Also this isn't a bug, newfriend.

>>5514 Sorry, I thought this was a different thread on /q/. Regardless, Lain does store IP addresses for the sake of bans and post history, and that is considered personal data due to IP addresses being considered an "online identifier" by the gdpr, however silly that is. I ask because some autist could very well hit this site with a fine, and I don't think either of us would want that.

>>5515 >that is considered personal data due to IP addresses being considered an "online identifier" Nope. There's been no ruling that IP addresses are "online identifiers." Quite the opposite, they do not map to a natural person (but instead to a network) so they don't count on that score. More than that they're explicitly mentioned like two paragraphs later, to quote the regulation: "Also, written answers from a test-taker and any remarks from the test about these answers are “personal data” if the test-taker can be theoretically identified. The same also applies to IP addresses. If the processor has the legal option to oblige the provider to publish additional information which can identify the user who is behind the IP address, this is also personal data." Our posts are totally anonymous and therefore we're fine.

When I mess up a post and try to delete and resubmit it, I get blocked by flood detection. Maybe that function needs to be fine-tuned?

>>>/hum/8407 Could there be some visual indication that a thread is locked, or disable the post button or just have the mods post after doing it? I put effort into locating the last on topic post and writing a thoughtful response only to find the thread was silently locked when I hit post. That's pretty soykafty.

>>2860 Haven't seen it anywhere, so assume it's not a feature. YouTube embedding would be kinda schway

>>5570 to be honest I'd rather want peertube or bitchute integration instead of embedding JewTube's unfree JavaScript code into lainchan.

Hello rather simple insignificant thing I just discovered. It'd be rather nice if spoilered text didn't count towards post length. Perhaps there is some reason for this though.

>>5956 >Perhaps there is some reason for this though. How would you prevent absurdly long posts if you ignored some of a post when calculating the limit?

Can the background color of highlighted posts be changed for the main theme? I always re-read my posts after posting and it's impossible with this background color.

Allow brewing soykaf on /random/ That's the fuarrrking pinnacle of the board

Make a weapons board

language enhancer normal person/normal user/normal users to ningen

>>5981 >>5992 Why not just go 4/8chan instead

>>6042 changed my mind after seeing the language enhancer at work, just normal users/ normal user into ningen

Has the CSS recently been updated? Everything started looking quite small today. Looking at the rules, it seems that text size is defined in pixels rather than points (body#thread { font-size: 12 px } in dark.css). I think defining sizes in px is usually considered bad practice by webdevs. Can this be changed? I think a simple find stylesheets -iname "*.css" -exec sed -i 's/font-size:\s*\([0-9]\+\)\s*px/font-size: \1pt/' '{}' ';' would be enough. In fact it's what I did and it resulted in the attached patch and this looks alright to me (I removed the diffs for the minified files though as the changes were hard to inspect).

I browse Lainchan in catalog view like a normal human being and catalog view is missing a feature that 4chan has which is to click on a thread and have it open in a new tab. And then there is another option to automatically switch to that tab. I dont like having to click the back button to get back to catalog view when I can just close the tab and continue where I was in catalog view.

>>3192 >>4954 >>6067 See Options in the top right for the new board list display catalog links option.

Why lain doesnt have an /int/ board? It'd be nice to have a cozy /int/ board here.

Lainchan should have a /showcase/ board for plugging projects or art that lainons have created. The projects should only be small-mid size, and they should already have a significant amount of work done. Commercial projects would not be allowed on this board.

>>6167 we already have boards where these threads could fit, a showcase seems redundant.

>>6174 It's true that we have "what are you working on" threads, but those usually only contain daily toy projects that lainons are working on. A showcase board would be very low traffic, and would function more as a way to inspire users by showing them what other users have created.

>>6180 eh, dunno, i don't really think lainchan is the place for this kind of thing.

What would the thoughts of the moderators be on creating the following two large stickies on /tech/? learning resources thread: >>15459 >>15545 >>15525 >>14774 etc. hardware/software suggestion thread: >>15555 >>9931 >>15478 >>15418 >>14580 >>15419 etc.

I'm trying to get an instance of lainchan up and running on OpenBSD so I can configure it before I try and set up my own website with it, yet I keep getting this script puke from when I try and run the php install script. The only error I can get in the box that the installer gives me besides the scribbles on the rest of the page is or saying that it can't remove a certain file. Any help? It says in the OpenBSD ports that mbstring is included inside the PHP library by default. I've also tried this on Devuan, Void, and Gentoo and I've run into the same issue. '.htmlentities(file_get_contents(LICENSE.MD')) .'

>>2860 >OP's post is only one sentence long where are the based mods? this guy is breaking rule 4!!121!!!11 ban this nigger!

>>6240 /q/ is an exception, you should have known this by now if you have spent some time lurking the board instead of immediately jumping to conclusions

There isn't really much to say about this. I think replacing the word "Catalog" in the GUI with "Datalog" would be an aesthetically-appropriate change in line with the language enhancer, etc., that would still essentially retain the previous meaning (and most of the spelling) but with a cyberpunk flair, and I'm assuming that this would be a quick and relatively painless alteration. Feel free to use this thread to post other purely aesthetic suggestions, if you'd like.

>>6245 Damn, nice catch. That would actually be really neat.

The sticker link on the donate page seems to be a broken link now, it just leads to the sticker host's main page at the moment

>>6251 whoops, I misread and thought this was the bug thread.

>>6251 >>6252 See >>>/q/6101

>>6256 Can I get a comment on >>6245, please? I'm perhaps unreasonably excited about this idea, so I've been in suspense over it for a few days. A "no" is really as good as a "yes"; I just want to hear one way or the other.

>>6257 I am currently considering the best way to implement this, and what other side effects of implementing it there are. E.g. Yes I realise to you it is only changing one letter. But there are several different options under the covers ? One it is change it client side using a toggle in the options menu and have that either default or not default. Another is to the just change it server side everywhere blanket (naive approach), but more that just changing it in the template files, because there are other places the identifier catalog is used. Another is to just change it in the template files server side hard. And the last option that comes to mind is making a configurable change server side , that also may or may not impact the current URL generation. Other things to consider are changing the layout and structure of the catalog pages so they look more like a datalog. For these reasons, I haven't come to a decision yet, so the answer is probably Yes, but not immediately, thanks for your patience.

If you enter any thread on /layer/ the images aren't loading because the links are pointing to /inter/ instead. On 0 page every image looks fine. E.g. https://lainchan.org/layer/src/1524151579492-0.jpg from 0 page becomes https://lainchan.org/inter/src/1524151579492-0.jpg (leads to 404) when you open the thread. Same with thumbnails.

>>6259 This should be fixed, The cause is something weird in the process we are using to update all the replies to change over the syntax highlighting. I have run a rebuild of the threads which fixes this problem. Also use the bug thread for bugs please.

>>6258 Ah, that does sound complicated. Thank you for your consideration.

I think it would be great if hovering over the post date showed you how long ago the post was posted, like on 4chan

>>6245 Actually, if there's enough motivation on the part of our team here, I suggest a long-term, expanded program of aesthetic alterations with the goal of cementing lainchan's status as its own unique community. I remember the feeling I had when I first encountered the language enhancer. It was bizarre and fresh, and it gave me the feeling that I'd stumbled upon a special place. Aesthetics are important in the sense that they have associations. If the site looks like 4chan, people will treat it like 4chan. If the site looks like only lainchan looks, people will treat it like lainchan. Someone in another thread mentioned the broken window effect, where a slight cosmetic blemish causes people to see something as an acceptable target for vandalism. Interestingly, I've heard that it works the other way; painting the New York subway system caused vandalism rates to decrease. I'm fresh out of specific ideas to implement, though, so hopefully the community can help me out.

Don't know where else to put this, but when you use the lainchan banner script with vichan the banner appears on the front page too, even if you only place the lines in the config.php of the boards, not the global config.php. After much experimentation, the way to solve this is to remove the banners are rebuild only the theme. This might just a problem with vichan, or I might just be retarded.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but whatever. Regarding the eventual Lainchan store we'll have, could it support alternate currencies like litecoin or otherwise others that are cheaper to transact on that bitcoin?

>>6285 Yes one of its requirements is that that it will accepts altcoins and bitcoin. The implementation I was looking at was CoinGate for this , which supports litecoin and bitcoin (which is also supported by Stripe, if we choose them over PayPal) and 50 other altcoins.

Say, is anyone interested in starting a Laintube at Cytube? It's an ersatz Synchtube, users can post videos and chat realtime in a text window, as named users or anons. There used to be a Taimatube channel for 420chan, as an appendix to the /b/ board, with a link on the header showing what was playing, but Kirt deleted the link because after ignoring its presence for years, he suddenly realised he didn't know any of the mods. To avoid that happening here, I suggest Appleman be involved from the beginning and appoint his own mods, especially if we want a live link to the Tube. I think Lainons have so much in common in terms of interest in media like anime and music, and the cyberpunk philosophy, that it'd expand board culture and interaction. Unless Apple has beef with Cytube, like he does with Volafile? I keep missing the dramas, so I never know what's going on until afterwards.

>>6294 I wanted to host a customized version here, that integrated with IRC (instead of using its own separate chat system), Lainstream (e.g ability to stream a given's channels connect to Lainstream) and had a few other custom features, but I haven't time to do the customization yet. If there is user interest / demand for such functionality, then I can definitely prioritize it.

So how'd that lain store launch go?

>>6308 Ditto, is there a store up now? No announcements have been made since the posting about the lainchan anniv, is this still happening?

>>6308 >>6314 Yeah what's up with the store? Unfortunately couldn't attend the anniversary event, but there's no information anywhere.

>>6308 >>6314 >>6315 Lainstore has not launched yet. I am still behind schedule and currently working on the API specification for the primary vendor. Additionally I am working on sourcing several secondary vendors for the plushie demand that was mentioned at the Annual General Meeting. What was launched on the 20th of April was a Sticker Gallery https://lainchan.org/stickers.html with the list of past stickers / designs that will be available for eventual purchase , as well as the ability for lainons to submit their own designs. Most of this information was announced during the AGM, but I still haven't received the recordings from others that took them in order to write up and post up the transcripts yet. When Lainstore launchs, there will be a message in the global header (where the Mumble server is now) and an announcement on the news page. Thanks for your patience and support.

>>6316 It's ok. We appreciate you still caring for the site years after it's changed hands.

Why not a Mastodon instance, for example https://social.lainchan.org

>>6319 There have been separate threads about the Fediverse and Gnusocial vs Mastadon vs insert social network microblog framework here before, and aside from the arguments over which platform it isn't really worth the effort in order to only fragment the user base further. Instead we need to focus on community engagement and bringing the user base together rather than splitting them in individualized updates and hash tagged streams. If you are looking for a lain friendly fediverse offering that already exists https://lain.church/ and it's https://welovela.in/ .

>>6321 Yes, or another possible way is to stream all the "Latest Posts" on the official Lainchan account (I see you have only Twitter) for example https://welovela.in/Lainchan

>>6322 This would just mess up people’s feeds.

>>6323 >>6322 Yes we only have Twitter, because it was an inherited technology choice from the founder of Lainchan, but our Twitter is only used for holiday announcements and emergencies (we can contact our VPS provider using it), and isn't used for general updates (for that the news page is used, which will be getting its own RSS shortly). There is also an entire community on twitter that may or may not actually visit the site, IRC or Mumble communities.

Can we get the general tech questions thread on /tech/ pinned to the top so that people can stop making threads every time that they want to be spoonfed something? Seriously why is /tech/ being left to go to soykaf like masonchan or 4chan? >>>/Ω/16313 >>>/Ω/11819 >>>/Ω/16785 >>>/Ω/14515 All of these threads were made for no real fuarrrking reason and could have been answered in the tech questions thread, another board, or don't even belong on here. Is the mod absent or something? Why is this crap left on the board when they're just repeat threads of the same thing that made 4chan and 8ch unusable garbage? Its people coming in here and saying "this is my first post ever on the board", meaning that they didn't even take the time to look in the catalog and actually ask the question in the container instead of killing threads.

>>6336 Thank you for the input. I am not absent. It is not a real great excuse for not doing a lot lately, but life has a bad habit of keeping me from doing a lot of what I'd like to do. I will try to make time to parse through /Ω/ again like I did last year though and try to push for a better quality tech board.

>>6336 Report low-quality posts, even if a specific rule is not broken. Sometimes threads just escape the notice of the mods. You can help correct that.

I would like some sort of "crackdown" on rule 3 violations. I'm not sure what I'm proposing, precisely, but I'm getting pretty tired of seeing them. I'm open to suggestions from anyone who feels similarly and thinks they have a good idea. It really may be as simple as just emphasizing it in the rules list or somehow reporting that a post has been deleted for a rule 3 violation so people will see that it's taken seriously. On the other hand, it could be as heavy-handed as one warning and then a ban. I'm not suggesting that all rules be enforced this way, but the timely and effective enforcement of rule 3 is, I think, critically important for the health of the site (but I've been known to overreact), it's not a terribly difficult rule to follow, and it's obviously reasonable. It's possible that you're already doing everything you can, but it seems to be getting more common.

>>6316 So uh, it's been almost two months now, is the Lainstore still in development?

>>6361 Yes it is still in development, main blocker is the AGM transcription (which is halfway done) and that there is only one of me and so many hours in the the day.

>>2860 advice board?

>>6347 This is arguably covered under rule 3, but I would like a more explicit rule against posting things that boil down to "This thread is dumb and I don't like it" within the thread. It's ok to say that you believe the OP's premises to be flawed in relation to some concept, etc., but explicit or near-explicit anti-thread-topic posting amounts to obvious derailment. It's essentially the opposite of contributing. If you believe that a thread doesn't suit the site or the board it's on, you can report it. If it doesn't suit your personal preferences, you can ignore it. The kind of posting that I'm talking about, however, has a way of stopping discussion in its tracks, especially when others follow suit to say "I agree that this thread is dumb, and I don't like it, either." I still support protesting a thread on /q/, but in-thread posting of this kind bothers me. If you won't rewrite the rules for this, I would at least like confirmation that it falls under an existing rule or else an explicit statement that these kinds of posts will be allowed.

>>6374 Expressing "This thread is dumb and I don't like it "is a valid opinion to have for any given thread. However only posting as such is the definition of Rule 4 violation because You should always elaborate on your opinions rather than just spilling the soykaf. Thread topic change is fine, though some what annoying, but thread derailment where the topic is changed and then posting either stops entirely because the discussion is now closed or the quality discussion / posting stops because the derailed topic is either a closed topic or not elaborated on by subsequent posters generally results in a thread being deleted. In terms of cases were elaboration and reasoning are provided, then given the aforementioned "This thread is dumb and I don't like it " and here is why conversation, is also a potential rule 3 violation if the arguments are personal attacks or are generally either directly biased in the interests of not having a discussion or in the form of anything below Counterargument in the first attached image are Rule 3 violations Always argue in good faith and avoid using personal attacks. It is also a potential Rule 4 violation if they don't leave the thread open for discussion, unless it was a terrible thread that was full of Rule 4 violations anyway, in which you can report a thread or request for it to be locked on /q/. Also smug anime girl face is just meme tier, at least it was Lain. Hopefully this is the confirmation you are looking for.

>>6375 Thank you for your typically thorough reply. I'm glad you've clarified your position. Although my mentioning that gladness constitutes the briefer part of this post, I am truly enthused to have received the sort of response I was requesting. By your own "argument hierarchy" image, I would suggest that the kind of posting I was referring to falls under the heading of "meta-debate" or something sufficiently similar. It is essentially starting a new thread referring to the original. I don't want to make this discussion too philosophical or abstract, but I think the distinction is largely clear. I suppose that if you advocate for organic thread topic development this poses no problems, but I'm not sure that I see the appeal of an intensely self-oriented thread in terms of discussion quality. I see my "argument" (these thoughts are perhaps to loosely constructed to constitute a real one) as essentially the same argument behind having a meta board but applied on a smaller scale. We don't want /music/ (for instance) littered with posts about /music/, so why should we allow /music/ threads to be littered with posts about /music/ threads? >Also smug anime girl face is just meme tier I might suggest that this statement constitutes "social shaming" as currently constructed, although I'm now worried about what this response implies about how you received my overall post, given that other posts with "meme tier" images do not generally receive similar responses. It's a bit like how one tends to despise smaller imperfections in people they hate for larger reasons. I once visited a community that had a catch-all rule for banning those who didn't "fit in." I wonder whether I'm "fitting in" here. Anyway, I would also nitpick and say that it's not smug but irritated, as I was attempting to express frustration. I only really used it because I've noticed that my posts tend to be passed over without comment when I leave them without images, images which are presumably eye-catching, giving a post a "character" that serves to distinguish it from the typical text. Perhaps you will like the image on this post more, although I didn't put much effort into its selection either.

>>6376 You're welcome. The argument hierarchy isn't mine, I am merely reference various adaptions of Maslow's hierarchy of needs for internet discussion, critique in the general concept of critical literacy and the specific concept of one's professor feedback to students writing essays and another diagram that tries to organize various types of arguments. Meta-debate discussion of specific posts / threads happens on /q/ and for general conceptual meta discussions they may also be appropriate on /r/ and as well as /q/. That said you can discuss about the concepts of one /music/ thread in another /music/ thread. It wasn't intended as social shaming, rather a literal description of the variations of the pyramids I posed in meme format, where the top level was a smug anime girl face, e.g. it was intended as a quote and a pun. Other images don't normally get commented on by me unless people ask me what I think of them, I tend to spoiler and delete images more than commenting on them. This community doesn't ban people for not fitting in, just for rule violations. I don't know if you are fitting in here or not.

Would it be possible to get an occult or paranormal board?

>>6440 Thanks for posting this in the suggestions thread and not in a brand new thread. Regarding new board creation, before any new board is made there needs to be at least a page or two of decent threads on the topic the board is supposed to be about on /r/, if your thread / threads don't get enough interest on /r/, then there is not enough demand for the proposed board. Other boards like /vis/ or /hum/ make also be related to your desired topics of conversation / discussion.

Add board of the threads in threads.json of multiboards.

various shuffles--occasionally, curated lists. e.g. Kyberpunk, Surreal, Edifaction, Hochkunst,, budgetary effects of video streaming?

With all due respect (whatever that means), this is starting to seem less like a suggestion receptacle and more like a trash can. Exactly how understaffed is the site at the moment, if you don't mind my asking?

>>6501 As far as I know we are not understaffed. Though staff could be more active. You seem to not have elaborated on which suggestion isn't implemented that you would like implemented. I don't know you are asking in good faith, because of your choice of words like whatever that means, and if you don't mind me asking.

>>6502 On one hand, I do want to be respectful. On the other hand, the concept of "due respect" is arguably not meaningful (your own response in the ethics thread would suggest that you take my meaning). I'm not worried about any particular suggestion as much as the lack of "forward momentum." Maybe I'm really just conflating the suggestions with the delayed store launch. >>6362 >[...]main blocker is[...] and that there is only one of me and so many hours in the the day. This says "understaffed" to me. Maybe I just don't get it. Anyway, I think I was just feeling particularly contrary when I posted. Pay it no mind.

>>6504 Most of the lainchan administration team, just do Lainchan administration e.g. moderate and administer the board or IRC or Lainchan Radio. Some staff do contribute to the implementation of suggestions and new features like Lainstore and others, but it isn't an obligation that requires you to be staff to help or contribute, as per the helping thread. How can I take your meaning ? All I know is that the vast majority of people that have typed or said with all due respect, have rarely been sincere because if they were sincere, they would have thought about their choice of words and omitted those words from their statement, as the level of respect is generally evident by the care of the word choice and the words they chose to say and the words they chose to omit. If this was a trash can it wouldn't be still sticked and instead would have posts deleted or this thread would be locked, instead of the ideas slowly and gradually being implemented. There is forward momentum, but it like me is slow and steady and I don't recall it being any other way , since I joined here, I remember stories of long ago when people supposedly wanted to help my predecessor but I don't know if there was more "forward momentum" then or not. Regarding the Lainstore, yes I have been dragging my feet, and yes I should just publish the AGM recording and piecemeal transcription by next weekend, and start going back to working on Lainstore little by little each weekend and I will do that, but at the same time I didn't receive any feedback on the existing sticker gallery or any new suggestions for possible stickers or any other feedback, other than people asking is the store ready yet....

>>6581 (about the donation page) >Being staff is currently a volunteer position, without mandatory working hours. When asked on such staff member suggested their fake billing rate or actual billing rate if Lainchan was a paid gig, would be $1000 USD per month. It wouldn't have to be pay by hour, or even pay by project. I figured that it would be volunteer-run. What could be set-up is some sort of system that splits the donations some way. Albeit that there are no donations now, it might be useful for when there are. Something to look in to. Perhaps automated contract enforcement software (e.g. what some call "smart contracts") could make this easier. (E.g. first of whatever donations would go towards paying those who must be paid (the server host), and then split among the volunteers some way (e.g. if there's some way of figuring it out, based on the value of the volunteers' contributions; or equally).)

>>6617 Thanks for the suggestion. Automated contract enforcement software makes this harder, rather than easier. As per the previous post, figuring out value of the contributors requires metrics and metrics setup requires tracking and a conversion scheme and a conversion scheme leads to culture change because people then do actions to get the fiscal reward rather than just focusing on being good volunteers. Currently if we did become a non profit, and were running at a surplus where there was excess funds, the easiest solution would just be some sort of annual present with a fixed budget based on some split, e.g. a mandated Secret Santa program, but even that would require some planning and some information distribution that doesn't exist.

"glitterboy" needs rewriting (like soykaf) I tried to think of something but came up empty. I'm thinking frittersoy.

clicking on a reply should jump to an anchor where you can see the header of the post. having to scroll up every time to see the replies really aggravates my hemorrhoids. in the meantime heres some soykaf i have in my custom js that i copied off of stack overflow function offsetAnchor() { if(location.hash.length !== 0) { window.scrollTo(window.scrollX, window.scrollY - 25); } } window.addEventListener("hashchange", offsetAnchor); window.setTimeout(offsetAnchor, 1);

>>2860 How the fuarrrk do we not have a math board? But we have a board for communicating with stegged images that literally nobody posts on more than a couple times. doesn't math go hand-in-hand with compsci?

You could enable multiple file uploads without javascript by duplicating the file input element statically and naming them "file", "file2", and "file3". The javascript just dynamically inserts the extra elements. On the client side, you can use the browser's inspector to edit the html in place. Press ctrl-shift-i, then select the file input in the page, right click the line in the code window, duplicate node, double-click the names and change them.

>>6629 >How the fuarrrk do we not have a math board? >>>/λ/1187 I do think though /λ/ - Programming should be renamed /λ/ - Programming and Computer Science

does lain want to join the webring?

Would it be possible to have embedded video? I was looking at the comics board at REDACTED SITE, and they have a button to embed a video at the end of a linked address, if having all those videos on screen is a problem, you could do something similar.

>>6650 Anything is possible with enough work. We already have embedded webm, what other video formats did you want us to support ? Currently the main reason we don't do video embedding is to do with ensuring user base gets to decide if hosting provider for said videos gets to track them or not .

>>6650 I hope you're not suggesting youtube video embedding. Like Apple said, I don't want google to track me if I accidentally click on an embedded video.

Not long-term banning TOR exit nodes would make using lainchan less annoying. e.g. 176.10.99.200 (a TOR exit node) was derezzed (ostensibly, for a post containing CP), about which I learned after attempting posting via TOR. I can still post via TOR, but it requires using another TOR circuit.

>>6644 If we're going that way, why not go all the way, renaming it "/λ/ - Informatics"?

Can you ban reddit users?

Since there's apparently no convenient gratitude thread, I'll put this here: thanks for the Christmas Lain (and accompanying song). It cheered me up more than I would have expected.

Be advised: Arisuchan has been destroyed by the focused attacks of a single vandal. If you have measures for repelling this kind of assault, prepare to employ them. This is not a drill. I repeat: this is not a drill.

>>6764 >"fuarrrk it RIP Arisuchan" The board wipes made sense but were hard to bounce back from without reverting. Do we have enough janitors here / are janitor applications open?

>>6764 >>6768 See https://lainchan.org/faq.html for the entry on staff application if you are interested about becoming staff. We have already deployed relevant measures to prevent against vandalism, thanks for your warnning.

Quick stupid question: why is /tech/ not addressable as /ohm/ ?

>>2860 Can we have a fixed width of 72 on posts ? It is much nicer to look at personally, and is standard on a variety of things such as emails etc.

>>6829 You can use User CSS .post .body { max-width: 72ch; } >>6270 I made a relative date script function relativeDateString(time) { let unit = 'year'; if ((time = time / 1000) < 60) unit = 'second'; else if ((time = time / 60) < 60) unit = 'minute'; else if ((time = time / 60) < 24) unit = 'hour'; else if ((time = time / 24) < 30.437) unit = 'day'; else if ((time = time / 30.437) < 12) unit = 'month'; else time = time / 12; time = Math.floor(time); return `${time} ${unit}${time === 1 ? '' : 's'} ago`; } function update() { let timeElements = document.getElementsByTagName('time'); for (let element of timeElements) { let date = new Date(element.getAttribute('datetime')); let diff = Date.now() - date.getTime(); if (diff >= 0) { element.title = date.toLocaleString('en-ca'); element.innerText = relativeDateString(diff); } } } update(); setInterval(update, 5000); change innerText to title at the bottom to show it only on hover

We are aware that no one can post. It is currently being looked at. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

This is more of a question than a suggestion, but why doesn't lainchan tally unique IPs per thread?

>>6916 would be a pretty useless feature given that Tor is allowed

Could there perhaps be a channel for our radio for fellow lainons' music they've made? Or a place to submit our music perhaps to be featured randomly on occasion or whatever?

Optimized.

>>7240 >>2860

It seems I can't report posts without having javascript enabled. Would be nice if that was enabled.

>>7390 But you can?

It's starting to look like a word filter for "incel" may be desirable.

>>7601 Blocking the word would be better. "Volcel" as well.

>>7602 Well, I suppose I would still want people to be able to discuss the concept if they wished, but I want to neuter its use as an insult and basically hide its use in general. If new users come here and see that posters are flinging "incel" at one another, it sends a message about the kind of place this is, and those new users will respond to that. It's like that old claim that painting houses prevents vandalism because people see things in decline and think of them as acceptable targets. Of course, we have a rule against using insults in general, but the mods have recently admitted that they can't keep up with rule 3 violations in real time.

>>7606 I don't see how you'd use "incel" as anything but an insult. If someone were to start a discussion on how they can't find a partner for sexual intercourse I don't know why you'd spout nonsensical memes such as "incel" in that thread.

>>7607 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incel It's actually a label that some people have used as a self-identifier, so its use extends beyond just an insult. So that the original request isn't buried: I'm advocating for a new world filter which will replace "incel"

>>7602 >>7606 by that logic glitterboy/glitterboy should be blocked/discouraged too *eyeroll*

>>7625 I don't take your meaning. Please restate your point.

>>7631 are your feelings hurt by "incel"? glitterboy/user/glitterboy are all insults too, but somehow it's incel that should be blocked or discouraged to use.

>>7633 oh yeah, i forgot f***a***g is actually filtered... my point stands - glitterboy is used instead. so what would incel be? "virgin boy"? "sad loser"?

>>7634 >>7633 I'm just going to let your posts, in which every example you gave was filtered without your realizing it, serve as my response instead of arguing.

>>7633 >>7634 >>7635 Ok, so apparently I'm foolish enough to come back and argue after all, but I guess that has something to do with the fact that I'm campaigning for a cause; I maintain that your posts have a self-defeating quality and am posting for the benefit of the moderators and those who would be swayed perhaps more than I am responding to you. I'd like to note that "glitterboy" is presumably a reference to a class of power armor in the RPG Rifts, thus making it a cyber-appropriate euphemism. In my view, the word filter accomplishes these goals: 1.) It contributes to a sense of unique site culture for both old and new users. 2.) It removes the sting of insults in accordance with rule 3, which states that users are to avoid personal attacks and demonstrates a larger concern on the part of the site's moderation for removing insults from site discourse. 3.) It strips certain cultural aspects from charged language so as to prevent both reaction posting under conditions of suppressed critical faculties (relates to point 2) and certain classes of new users coming to the conclusion that this is a "compromised" website which is suitable either for soykafposting or for the dissemination of propaganda (relates to point 1). In other words, it improves post quality from those who read the filtered posts. Whether these perceived benefits are intended or merely incidental, I do not know. Further, I do not know whether these perceived benefits actually work as I think they do. Still, according to the above, I will motion again for my agenda, which I will restate in bold below in order to prevent it from being lost in the shuffle of posts. Suggestion: filter the word "incel"

>>7640 t. incel

>>7602 All redditor buzzwords used by parrots should be filtered to "squaaawk". Especially the one liners. >cringe >oof >yikes >incel >>imagine being/thinking/etc Ergo the word imagine filtered Volcel is fine though. The redditors hate that, incel sub users included as it implies that incels are not real, of which they are basically NOT real. Anyone can settle, they just don't want to ergo they are voluntarily celibate. Plenty of volcels exist, they vent often and get called involuntary celibates by childish assholes that are implying, insinuating, that a man cannot have standards. >>7642 t. parrot

>>7650 It's not even about buzzwords, it's just that your kind and your culture are disgusting and you bring it in unrelated threads. Sometimes you read a seemingly normal post and you can see it's from a sheltered incel.

>>7653 >>It's not even about buzzwords >uses incel again You can't help yourself and are projecting the fact that you can't shut that witch hunt obsession up dumb ass.

>>7653 While i'm not one to defend 13 year olds who base their entire political insight from atlas shrugged, we cannot ban an entire subculture. First of all because that's impossible and we've seen that in the old /civ/ board. You ban their words, they change the words, you take away their board, they derail all threads outside of that board. So we must instead look to ban the problematic aspects that the incel/ancap/ayn rand/MGTOW culture brings. For me, the problem with that crowd is that they have very little knowledge on pretty much any subject, but they have extreme faith in that tiny slice of knowledge, so what happens is that when they come to a thread, they don't come to have a conversation (exchange of ideas between two parties), they come with rules: "This is how the world works, if you disagree, i will be a pedantic asshole until you're tired of replying". This behavior (prevalent in /hum/ for example) is, for me, not something desirable in this community. So sure, that we can ban and warn against. But an entire subculture is unbannable.

Since this place has these abhorrent word filters since its inception, why not automatically change all "anons" into "lains"? There are too much newfriends who don't bother lurking through the culture, and this pronoun in not enforced, thus their newfriendliness stands out too much.

>>7700 Agree, singular Lain though.

>>7700 If somebody says anon instead of lain it doesn't mean they're a new user. It can just mean they know but didn't bother to use the word.

>>7702 It is a red flag though.

Add .flac support

That little tooltip that appears when you hover over the timestamp for how long ago the post was. I live and die by that thing. Any way you could add it? It wouldn't be too hard, a lot of boards have it. I think it works if you just set the title='' attribute to something.

>>7847 You can use my User JS: https://paste.gg/p/comrade/60714baa4e464729b05c9ee7b6a68e8e (updated from >>6896 with 2 variants, inline or tooltip only)

Hey Appleman1234... I did the layout and formatting work for zines 3+4... I have not been around for a long time. I was not happy with the childish split and sabotage. I lost the momentum and position on the zine after that. Looking at them again on here, they need a presentation recommendation/qualifier posted on the page or somewhere near the downloads... These 2 issues were designed primarily for print, as such they are setup to be viewed as spreads (2 pages at the same time, as an open book). This will result in a far more balanced and comprehend-able visual layout. If you could recommend people to download the PDFs and set acrobat (ect) to "view: page display: two page view" Also make sure "show cover page in two page view" is checked on. - Then view full screen. This will result in a much nicer viewing experience (phone users with weak eyes be damned!). I hope all is well with you and Lainchan... Stopwatch.

Rewrite doesn't work >>>/λ/18998 should be websoykaf

Add support for adding images to posts from clipboard (ctrl+v) like when someone uses screen clipping tool on Win10 (Win+shift+s)

add links on lainon.life for different streams like: >lainon.life/cafe So that we don't need Javascript to change streams

Hey, legit, what the fuarrrk is happening to the freedom of expression on lainchan? We should be able to talk about everything freely, and there's some "anons" with censorshiptier soykaf because they can't handle anything different than to what they listen, c'mon, make this more full of freedom, more like a chan, it's almost becoming reddit, everything is too right, the sensitive users have their echo chambers on big damn sites, like reddit and soykaf, please Appleman, listen, I miss the old lainons. Also you cannot even say words like shi-ll, what the fuarrrk?

>>8059 Hello, it seems that you're attempting to raid lainchan with disinfo, maybe you should lurk /sec/ and practice some opsec before doing anything you fuarrrking skids Present Day, Present Time! AHAHAHAHAHA!

>>8141 Hahahahahaahahah what a bunch of retards

>>8141 Also it wasnt me, retards, based anon who did the post.

>>8161 Also, i forgot, the based anon from the image, not this "opsec" dude lol.

>>8161 >>8240 hi retard

>>8242 Hello retard, go back, i know where you came from

>>8244 go away wage slave

>>8245 I wont, cunt, stop following me

>>8161 >>8240 >>8244 >>8247 How can one man be this retarded

>>8248 btw it's pretty obvious when someone is acting like a new user on lainchan

>>8249 >>8248 What chan is that?

>>8250 A chan made by retards for retards, it's one of the retard alliance/glitterboy federation chans which is trying to be an 8chan knock off, nothing of value there.

>>8251 wtf, i bet you were the one that deleted that anons post, why the fuarrrk are you censoring curiosity of other people? dude what

>>8253 wage slave

>>8254 why?

>>8251 >it's one of the retard alliance/glitterboy federation chans [citation needed]

>hey, I've got an idea >so you know how people are saying we're too overbearing with censorship, right? >get this, what if we start deleting their comments? >lul that'll show them

>>8260 And it wasnt even a chanto anon being censored, he just asked what chan it was, then he found it and asked why is it filtered.

>>8258 >>8260 >>8262 Samefagging on a slow chan is pretty obvious. Go back to your tranny federation/alliance and stay there glitterboys.

>>8263 legit, stop being transphobic

>>8263 >on a slow chan >posts that are too frequent look like samefagging because it's typically so slow This is in the neighborhood of a humblebrag, but like some kind of photo negative of one.

>>8260 >im spamming and dont understand why people are deleting my stuff wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Lol go join the 52% you fuarrrking tranny glitterboy. Livestream it while you are at it so maybe we can bump that number up. >>8265 >lol the board for complaints and suggestions is slow so you can tell who is who >lol the antithesis of a humblebrag You might genuinely be retarded. Go back to goyimtopia and jerk each other off about how lainchan bad because you are too stupid to fit in here.

>>8266 I wont tho

>>7394 How? Its not obvious at all to me how to report a post. Currently using the Kuroba app and the "report" option doesnt come up when selecting a post like on 4chan. Also couldnt find a report button using a regular web browser.

>>8266 >on a slow chan Your words, not mine. Choose them more wisely. >goyimtopia >tranny glitterboy >jerk each other off I am fascinated by your headcanon. Are there orgies, perhaps? What kind of gay orgies is it you picture, exactly? Would love for you to elucidate further on this.

Can we add 'pilled' to the filter? It would eliminate 'blue pilled' and 'red pilled' responses and there's probably a bunch of fun cyberpunk drug words to replace it with. Ironically, lainchan could have word filter *to* these if they weren't already so common.

Add clamped to the language enhancer "You're fuarrrking stupid" -> "You're fuarrking clamped" "Don't be a retard" -> "Don't be a clamp"

"lolícon" -> "pedophile juice" "clamped" -> "penetrated" "vaccine" -> "live saving medicine" "5G" -> "Rona Generator"

Where's lainstore?

Lainchan radio girl is basically calling me a subhuman I can't handle this kind of abuse

Some subtle indicator on posts that show you triggered the language enhancer. Instantly detect newusers. You could use perhaps an asterisks next to their name.

Combining /vis/ and /inter/ Each don't have enough to warrant a full board and the topics are very similar

The select that lets you switch channels on the lainchan radio only loads when the background image has fully loaded. It also unnecessarily requires Javascript. Whats the deal with that?

>>8833 You can play the radio via mpv, e.g. mpv https://lainon.life/radio/swing.ogg.m3u I assume you can also play it via VLC and similar players.

>>8834 I recommend elisa, it comes preinstall on some ubuntu flavors and has a nice gui

How about support for uploading tracker module music files? Someone suggested it here >>>/music/6305

Add "clamped", and related schizo-poster's linguas franca to the block filter. Please, just get rid of that idiot.

>>8910 Unclamp.

add clamp, unclamp, and their -ed to the language enhancer.

>>8934 C L A M P E D L A M P E D

>>8934 >add clamp, unclamp, and their -ed to the language enhancer. I second this. It's one nut, and a handful of trolls at most who use this term unironically. It would be funny to see what it becomes.

>>8956 The alternative being that you simply unclamp.

>>8934 add clamp, unclamp, clamped, unclamped, no u, etc. to the language enhancer. i need something funny.

>>9010 How about clamp(ed) is turned into unclamp(ed), and unclamp(ed) to clamp(ed)?

>>9014 That'd be hilarious. Better yet, change clamp(ed) into retard(ed) and unclamp(ed) into enlighten(ed). Keep it simple.

Ban wojaks/soyjaks, frogs, and other unfunny halfchan memes.

>>9024 >Ban wojaks/soyjaks, frogs, and other unfunny halfchan memes.

>>9029 >not my memerinos noooooooooo

>Dujour 2020-10-16 23:51:45 No.9030 >>>9029 >>not my memerinos noooooooooo

>>4051 Can we remove /q/ from the front page, too? I'd rather not be subjected to the screeching desperadoes that would be quickly removed from other boards.

>>8934 >enhance (un)clamp(ed) clamp -> embowel

>>9033 And unclamp -> disembowel?

/vis/ and /music/ should have 10 pages like some other boards, so that old good threads have better chances to survive and be bumped.

>>9024 >>9029 >>9031 please do this, as you can see right here it attracts idiots and lowers discussion quality

Add clamped to the word filter but as a replacement for another word.

>>9063 Lol, this. Unclamped suggestion.

>>9024 vichan filters can be defined based on image hashes, filenames and regex matching, among other things. I see no reason why there shouldn't be anti-soykaffination filtering.

I'm aware this is a cyberpunk board(and I like it for that), but I(and I am guessing some others too) would love a mathematics board. Has it already been brought up and shot down, or is it considerable?

>>9071 Just to add on this, although there is a mathematics thread already on the programming board, some inline LaTeX would be great.

>>>/Ω/34753 Why does everyone insist on showing us photographs of text, instead of text?

>>9107 Because this chan has retarded text formatting and is painful to read anything longer than 7-word sentence on default styling?

Can we have a optional or enforced site-wide href / HTTP refer-er switch? I don't like the idea of links posted here being linked back to lain. A lot of imageboards already do this.

>>9024 >>9065 Any word on this?

language enhancer suggestion: wage slave -> stick it up the hole in your culture; I think I've seen it a few times around here already. Of course, I don't mean to stick it up the hole in your culture or anything. >>9072 >Just to add on this, although there is a mathematics thread already on the programming board, some inline LaTeX would be great. Restricting to LaTeX is draconic. Let me use my own TeX macros. If you wanna use LaTeX, you can specify it, but we should be free to choose any other macros, or put our own definitions.

Oh, nevermind. ``s h i l l'' is already enhanced.

Do mods have archives/backups of threads which can get bumped off when someone tries to flood?

>>9151 Or it could also be done by making board pages twice as long, but then simply hiding 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 innacessible and 404'd before it rose up.

>>9151 The threads that were bumped off due to flooding / spam , are in the process of being recovered from the latest backup where possible. Other solutions to prevent automation deletion of threads from flooding are being investigated

>>9163 I suggest to disable new posts for a few days
