SITUATION UPDATE

Another week flew by but finally we are getting there with our PoW system. But making it work, and making it work effectively is a two different thing.
Developed tools to clearing up spam too. Tested it all week essentially. It catches false positives, and misses some real spam too. And while it's relatively easy to clear a board with it - in combination with the script posted above -, still have to make it better, and have to think of different approaches.

The flood is on relatively stable level, somewhere between 1500-2000 each day. Most is triggered by user activity, and one wave of flood in the evening (UTC) on several mostly unused boards which were relatively inactive by default, I guess those are the ones which aren't locked down.
Some boards are open, functioning, some are hidden.
If any BOs with inactive boards reads this: try opening a thread or two and allow users back. With the help of the script above it's easier to delete the flood.

Endchan was down for a while, as far as we know the database crashed. However Wrongthing was indeed DoS-ed on at least two occasions. Made the site unavailable.

We understand Magrathea has it's own shortcomings. One of the Anons created a userscript to add conveniences and fix some issues. It can be run with browser extensions such as Grease-/Tempermonkey and related.

SITUATION UPDATE

Flood is quite manageable, more like a nuisance these days. Posting triggers a flood within a thread, just as subsequent deletions. Once or twice a day boards get flooded, the first and second pages, just enough in each thread to look like it's everywhere. It's quite easy to delete all within a short period of time.
The content used to flood with turned to pure shit, not even recycled texts anymore.
There are periods when posting does not trigger the flood at all.

Wrongthink was down again, not really sure about the causes.

The new tools mentioned in the previous post is getting better. Very few false positives.
We also have a working PoW. Works, but not works well, not as intended. It was deployed on WT for a test run, but had to take it down. We'll figure it out.

New reply test

What the fuck.

SIT UPD

Apparently the news is: no flood in the past two days. I'm not a prophet so won't make predictions.
We want to switch from recaptcha to, not entirely sure to which one. The PoW is a bust, but we have a plan to implement something similar. 

While I was looking through the boards, I came across something, from 2022 September, when 8kun got flooded, and then by the same attacker Endchan as well. I found it hilarious, so I offer a slice from it to our faithful users.
No, we have still nothing to do with him.

I'm gonna give this a bump.

disallow tor now disallowed block bypass now too

If this goes through then torposting is a thing per board and i'm dumb

 >>/16649/
This, dont censor free speech like 8chan.moe is doing, no more TOR over there

 >>/19961/
I need to know more about this. Why has my IP, that I only have used on one particular board, having broken no rules to my knowledge,is now useless. Unlike a ban I can't even appeal this error. I want to know if it's an algorithm thing or if other users/board owners can play a part (ie. reporting posts as 'spam' leading to this situation).

I banned anon by mistake, sorry.

Yes, it's really difficult this time.
Thank you for your efforts.

How the fuck does "Allowed file types" work? I save with or without the (.) before it and it still blanks out.

Hey, shit spammer. I think I remember you. I mean, this faggot in picture related started out like this. But I seem to remember a bot attack afterwards that copied posts for a few days. Do you recall whining to /operate/ about admins stepping in to moderate over the board owners and then flooded when you didn't get your way? Much like /polru/ now? Am I right, or am I right?

 >>/20002/
Give us an example.

ban the image hashes or they will keep re-posting it

All right.

The "known spammer" think is this thread:  >>/11813/
Magrathea has no alerts yet. Not for bans or flood errors or anything. Eventually will get around of it. So those who want to Appeal their bans they can only do by posting on endchan.org/net/gg.

On a test board I could open the bans. Ofc no bans there so it was just an empty page.
However. Previously from other board we had a complaint, they couldn't open bans because they filled it up. Maybe this is the case and you issued too many bans.
I don't think there is a limit by design, I think there is just too many for the engine to handle.

You could hop on IRC and write. Then wait patiently until we notice and reply.

 >>/11542/
I reported the thread on IRC, I hope someone can take care of it soon

 >>/11570/
I'm sorry, I doubt anyone was present at that time from the staff.
If this is about doxing related, I can advise not to share any information with unknown people, what's given away it cannot be erased from the internet anymore. If it's already out there, nothing can be done, one has to be resigned and move forward with life, being careful in the future whom one trusts, and what information to share. Trolls are doing it for the attention, they should be ignored, so they don't get their pleasure, they'll get bored and they'll move on too. Yes, they'll poke for a while, but eventually they'll give up. They also use the already gathered information to coerce out more information, one shouldn't replay, it's saying "No!" by ignoring them.
If you turned to us it is very likely the Board Owner (BO) is also the part of the problem. On Endchan, the users create and manage their own boards.
If we - global staff - get a report we check if the post reported violates global rules. If not we leave up the content. Further than this no matter of the morality and no matter if we disagree with the content, if it is protected speech, it is extremely unlikely we'll violate the freedom of expression of the users.

Please add direct links to the media in the rss feed

I don't need this shit. It's not ok to change these things without askin other ppls' opinion, imo

 >>/19258/
Why sir?

Okay

 >>/23566/
 >>/11540/
the nature of the issue requires an impartial evaluation, I don't think it would meet that requirement if it were to be discussed among the user base. thanks for the info

 >>/23637/
Already tried

 >>/12076/
The password for deletion is whatever you entered into the password field when making the post.

 >>/12076/
If you did not enter anything, you can't delete it.

What if I set a password before posting, then I check my post, enter the password and solve the captcha in the bottom form, but when I click "delete" the following message appears: "0 threads and 0 posts were successfully deleted". My post is still not deleted. Why is that?

 >>/18729/
User post deletion can be disabled by the board owner.
