/operate/ - Endchan Operations

Here two examples of id-less posters in a board with ids enabled
 >>/dump/1085/
 >>/dump/1086/

to be more specific, every post, when looked at in the moderation mode, has an hash of the ip address
the id-less posts lack any hashed ip, they are basically ip-less, so it's impossible to ban them

this isn't the first time i've seen these odd information-lacking posts on boards, they stand out pretty much usually, but i can't find more examples at the moment

is this an expected behaviour for the site? or what could be causing this occurrence?

Posters using tor and posting through the onion domain will not have ids or IP hashes.

You can disable posting from Tor in the board settings.

As posters noted above those are users posting via Tor or Lokinet. They don't get IDs or IP hashes, they are all count as 1 poster (on the whole site) and they aren't included the number of posters on the board page.
BOs can disallow the use of Tor on their board, that option was included in case of certain attacks. I encourage you not to choose using it, unless it's absolutely necessary.

That helped, thanks.

It works for me(tm)
I dunno what could be the problem with uploads.

 >>/19053/
Splendid.

 >>/19045/
Is anyone having problems with no new replies showing up? It's spooky, I mostly see only the Russian boards being replied to rn

 >>/19065/
Get more users to English language boards.
You see Russian replies because those boards are the largest.

Makes sense, out of the top 15 boards by traffic, 6 are Russian

 >>/19059/ 
I see, thanks for the answers

 >>/19060/
Sure.
Keep in mind that imageboard content were intended to be ephemeral, and while small chans (including Endchan) can keep data for a long time, they aren't safe storage places. Tho perhaps safer than the fashionable normie cloud storage...
We don't really touch even abandoned boards, because we know users expect their stuff to be here when (if) they return.

So looking at this in an empirical way,
the current record for file retention is: 6 years 
(from 2024 to 2018)

And that time is currently limited to 6 years only because of site bugs/errors and not because of any site policy

 >>/19062/
Yes.

 >>/19061/
yep, it's a stretch to rely on imageboards for archiving, pure archives have better file duration, bigger archiving space, and better organizing tools, but also less public visibility, and often also stricter content policies actively removing content
it's a trade off, as for many things

> We don't really touch even abandoned boards, because we know users expect their stuff to be here when (if) they return.

That's something which is always nice to see, as it's becoming rarer to find online old sites and ancient messages from people even decades ago, internet has become a place focusing only on the now, with no past nor future

Thanks for the quick reply. Appreciate it. 

I'll go and try inviting some boards here. Hope anons can find their way here with no issues

I left couple of posts on anon.cafe noting we are welcoming anyone.
We take whole communities and individual users. Feel free to use the site.
User board creation is enabled, register and create a board.
Untended boards can be claimed, can help with cleanup if requested. Link to board claiming process on the home page.
Otherwise this  >>/18990/

> I left couple of posts on anon.cafe noting we are welcoming anyone.

Yeah I saw that. I think they want us to post our board on the /shelter/ board too.

Wanted to also mention, that site is crawling with some bitter dataminer board owners that just legit start e-drama there every day. If someone starts to talk shit in that site for no reason, it's usually a malicious person. So just ignore them because they start fights with everyone there

yes i second this. we (8kun as well) need to be a somewhat welcoming community that takes refugees from failed boards. we need to compete with 4chan because 4chan is the obvious choice when it comes to imageboards as it was really the only western board out there until 2013 when 8kun came out originally as 8chan. we need to make a solid presence in the anon community and collab frequently with each other (im meaning between 8kun and endchan, and sometimes even 4chan when necessary). I just sent an invite to anon.cafe on the site.

 >>/19035/
There is one guy badmouthing but that's okay. On one hand there always be at least one salty, on the other these occasions give reason to articulate certain points. However I had no time to check anon.cafe recently. It is an option to come here, they heard about it at least.

 >>/19037/

That was not my post.
> compete
I don't think we need to compete with anyone. Imageboard scene is not a market.

this has been lifted

 >>/18946/
Thank you!

What's the purpose of these rangebans anyway?

 >>/18964/
usually anti-flood or anti-spam. Mainly used now to help BOs/mods deal with events that are happening too quickly. But the engine keeps them around too long, we just purged them all for the year.

You have a leak when you delete Board volunteer's account. 
It's can be dangerous for userboards.

 >>/18914/
Forget it.

 >>/18918/
Have you registered a new account with the same name? This would close the vulnerability, but only if inactive accounts aren't automatically deleted. I suggest you revoke the volunteer role, just in case.

 >>/18924/
Removed.

Good.

 >>/18923/
You'll need to ask about this on 4chan's /g/ board. Someone there can help you.

 >>/11285/
The solution was found but for the record, here's some info that might be useful to others:
BO has to enable preformatted text, aka "code" in posts, there's an option among the board settings.
The HTML element that gets created is the pre element. In CSS select that to style the code.

I suggest DOGMA.

Oh nice, I'll hope to be free and able to attend! I work on ships so depending on when my watch it and how decent my internet connection is at the time hopefully I'll be able to participate.

 >>/10832/
That would be nice...

Try to create your own board.

It's an option set by the owner of the board.

Thanks.
