General to do list mys_elf Board owner 06/29/2021 (Tue) 19:33:43 Id:965149 No. 5 [Reply] [Last]

A list of things that I will (probably) do at some point or another. In no strict order: >Add support to Clover/possibly Kuroba I have absolutely no experience with Android development, so if (you) do it would be nice if you let me know in thread. Might have some questions for you. In general I am looking at modifying a copy of the vichan code to do this. Both vichan and Lynxchan use .json APIs, so hopefully that shouldn't be too difficult to convert. Since Lynxchan doesn't return an index.json, probably won't get the non-catalog view to work perfectly right. Main problem I foresee is with captcha as that's likely going to take a bit more to figure out. The site should only require captcha if it gets a certain number of PPH, but it is important for the app to support it. Have only just started poking around with things, so development is still early yet on this. >Improve the gallery view >Investigate the possibility of catalog mode in the overboard >Add warn/ban reason editable dropdown >Possibly integrate >>114 >(you)s on backlinks >Thread stats in page -Change images to files

One suggestion I have is that pinned threads stil get bumped past the bumplimit. I use the overboard view a lot, and while the townhall is pinned on /fim/ itself, it never shows up on the overboard anymore after the 500 mark.

Are closed. Follow the directions here to apply: https://nhnb.org/.static/pages/janApp.html Please also answer these two questions in this thread and include your post number in your email: >Who's your favorite artist? >Do you enjoy conventions? Why or why not? Have you ever been to one? Which one? (These two questions are just for fun and bear no relevancy to the application process, the important bit is the post number)

Tools and scripts mys_elf Board owner 06/29/2021 (Tue) 02:17:18 Id:2dfb77 No. 4 [Reply] [Last]

Some tools and scripts that pertain to the site. >(you) persist userscript. https://gitgud.io/mys_elf/nhnb-you-persist For when you don't like to store browser data but would like to preserve your (you)s. Not totally happy with the operation of it, but it works well enough for now. Will update at some point in the future. >Private Boards addon https://gitgud.io/mys_elf/Private-Boards An addon to require login on certain boards. >PenMod https://gitgud.io/mys_elf/PenMod The frontend for this site. Uncreative name included. >Lynxscripts https://gitgud.io/mys_elf/lynxscripts A couple of scripts contained here. archiveLimiter.py can prune the archive to a set number of threads. fileLimiter.py will prune the oldest images first to keep disk space usage within a set amount. Useful when operating on limited disk space. autoLynx.sh is a shell script to automatically set up a Lynxchan instance. Useful for setting up a testing environment.

what is this exactly? also many times happens that i actually answering the captchas right but it says failed no i am not spamming anything

>>803 The block bypass is intended to work as an alternative to captcha on every post (when board activity is low enough). Each bypass only buys so many posts before you need to get another one. I've been adjusting the site configuration for it over the past while. The way it is now set up, you should not be able to burn through a bypass before it expires due to age (and another one automatically requested). If you have issues, you can manually delete your bypass cookie to request another one. Sorry for the delayed response.

What is 'Extreme Fetish Content'? Anonymous 04/22/2025 (Tue) 01:52:45 Id:32ab19 No. 752 [Reply] [Last]

Is it entirely mod-determined, or will there be a list beyond the current ones? Current examples are mostly things involving ensuring no underage or gastrointestinal content is posted, but there's definitely extreme stuff out there that qualifies despite not being either context, so it might be best to nip it in the bud.

>>766 "HMD" and affiliated ntr-adjacent autism was always slop too, two wrongs don't make a right, but at least its proponents haven't been flooding unrelated threads with "ponyboi" and its affiliated faggotry

Anonymous 04/22/2025 (Tue) 21:55:42 Id:540c87 No. 786

>>785 I can pretty much agree with that. The whiteboi stuff that goes beyond just images in blacked threads was often just for demoralizing purposes of non-black, like how Aryanne posters can be directed to demean and demoralize non-white as well as non-pony while recycling extreme content from the other side of /pol/

>>762 We've tentatively decided to allow the current stripped thread, though it will still be subject to GR12 if it appears in other threads. There may be further consideration in the future, but this is where it currently stands. Watersports can be subject to GR2, just wanted to check if there were any further nuance previously discussed.

I've been summoned by the ghost of scruffy for his dead capcha Anonymous 04/16/2025 (Wed) 22:48:30 Id:a6cd32 No. 681 [Reply]

Trying again after this faggot ass captcha limit has passed? To my secret stalker~ I'm glad you learned how to communicate in something besides symbols. I'm on brave, Windows, Desktop. The capcha is in a half-broken state at best, it will constantly say it's wrong even when it's right. This is a consistent complaint across the site, and offsite about nhnb even when resident schizos are claiming it's all one guy. Sometimes it doesn't even load anything at all, no matter how many times you push reload the capcha is just a broken file. The site has a full-retard flood detection, since you have to load capcha more than once since it's broken, this will set off the flood alarms. And then when I get WARNED to post in /qa/ I couldn't even do that earlier with bug after bug after bug.

>>681 I suspect the volunteer was trying to write >>>/qa/ in the first image. As for the captchas, I thinking this is related to the captcha pool size, which I have increased. So hopefully that helps. If the captcha doesn't load, refreshing the page usually fixes it. I'm guessing you're talking about posting a thread? I've been increasing limits for posting, I'll have to see what current limits are for threads. Do keep in mind that there is a global thread rate limit as well (which has also been increased).

>>749 If you wait until after it happens, then it's already too late to be effective. But the more day to day application is to reduce the amount of bots that get through. Which has been an issue in the past (pre-captcha).
