/operate/ - Endchan Operations

I keep fat-fingering the new "moderate thread" link when I try to click Refresh.  Any chance you could add a little more vertical space between them?

Good evening admin！
Could you please help me delete a thread?
My ID is exposed by mistake in this thread and the poster who is a friend of mine didn't set the code before he create the thread, so he cannot delete it. 
This make me very nervous. Could you please help me to delete it?

Thank you very much!

Endchan Hacked

Yesterday (2026 February 11) users exploited a bug in the engine and escalated privileges on user accounts. They gained "root" access to the site, getting the highest privilege, which means they could see user's IPs of all the posts, change site settings, lifting range bans, delete threads and posts.
The real problem from the above is the IPs, which could help breaking anonymity of the users.
It seems they had no access to the database so for example they couldn't get to email addresses of registered users. Other than these two types of data, there is not much else to gain.
We found and patched the bug. We are still auditing the logs and the engine, if new information emerges, we'll share it.

Maybe this event means a hit for the site's reputation, but now we can tell that we are on the same level as 4chan. Though at least it is still not 4chan.

No role signo competence is showing.

As a newish phenomenon we're getting DMCA requests now and then. It happened enough times to dedicate a thread for it, a quick explanation and thought.
When we consider a DMCA request we check if the subject in question satisfies fair use:
https://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/fair-use/what-is-fair-use/
In short we take a look if the posts, the thread can be considered as commentary, criticism, or parody. If we don't find this aspect of the thread prominent enough, we have to comply to the take down request. If this happens we might not give a notice to the affected poster or board.

Personally here I wanna encourage our posters to do creative work, it can be more satisfying and entertaining.

Almost all vpns are banned for spam. So when endchan is blocked in your country you either use tor (not very convenient) or use IPs from some shitty country with ping 500+ which are not banned yet

Am I able to make a text-only board with no links (maybe even only whitelisted links if I feel generous) and use filters? I would like to discuss fringe topics without moderating 'P o algo.

> Issue 1

Having some trouble with linebreaks spreading out. Seems to do it sometimes but not others, not sure why.
 >>/cumg/36/  >>/cumg/37/

> Issue 2

Code tags seem to escape into greentext when $ is used.
 >>/cumg/16/  >>/cumg/15/  >>/cumg/19/

> Issue 3

The captcha button has no reload button in the reply pop-up. It doesn't always reload automatically, in turn causing the user the need to refresh the page.
> During the refresh, they may lose their text, however it seems to stay but the file they had attached gets unattached.


> Suggestion 1

Consider wrapping the site with IPFS for archival/resiliency.

> Suggestion 2

Consider adding support to KurobaEx. The current most popular FOSS image-board app on Android. A fork of Kuroba.

I know this isn't exactly an Endchan thing, however it would be beneficial to Endchan end users and allowing more people to use it easily on mobile.

Can the admin clarify what accounts are? when do you need them, etc

Why are people allowed to have a thread solely dedicated to stalking, harrassing, and doxxing a currently underage girl on /agatha2/, while those who call out such behaviour are banned under false pretenses?

How about to implement a cross-board reference support? It can make a huge shift towards the justification of tension between competing boards.
For example, if  we have a board with schizo moderation, name it board1 and its competing board with free posting, named board2, then a user gets banned on board1 for nothing, and so one can not dispute the ban, but still can post on board2, and then he/she posts a reply to board1 post in board2 thread, referenced as >>/board1/post_id and then this is reflected in board1 post xrefs. Then, interesting outcomes can follow. For example, people from board1 can see there is a reply link on another board. And a moderator of board2 has no options to ban this reply from being shown in reply's list, so there is a next dramatic dilemma for schizo moderator - to ban a poster, who is replied to, or just to 'OK' with it and see people leaving to board2 where the freedom of speech persists. This can bring a huge balancing effect.
