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.

S'UP

I thought I don't have to write these anymore but one more can't hurt.
So flood is off for weeks now, boards opened up, users returned. We are thankful for our faithful userbase.
Now we are getting reliable data how many Anons are actually visit and uses the site, not much bot traffic I think.

So we were looking for captcha alternative and found one, except now I see not that one is on right now, but the old lynxchan captcha. Gonna update later, what's up.

Meanwhile we lost the domain endchan.gg. We are thankful that it was on this long. I don't think more words are necessary, you know. Thanks.

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.

 >>/11541/
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.

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/

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.

If you issue enough wide range bans you'll get to it in time.
We're gonna take a look at it, just might can do.

 >>/19803/
Is possible to add a batch(similar to 65536 times of 255.255 | 255.254 ... etc.) range bans by solve just one captcha?

I will like to say:

>  But I suggest to save all the content worth saving, in case have to repost it later.

I didn't even think of that, come to think of it I heard of one moderator who did that to his boards from another server. Thanks for the advice!

Problem should be resolved now. Try the new account.

They all plugged in some captcha solver service, they can have human resolvers. Some of the captchas can be pre-resolved too but they are time sensitive. The good thing about them that it costs money for the attacker.

Hey, Admins. You should probably switch to hCaptcha.
Stop the shit spammer once and for all because they're images.
I doubt a bot could solve it. They're not AIs.

Wrong

How about hiding them with custom css?

 >>/18265/
Is this possible? If so what do I put in my custom .css to do so?

 >>/18271/
I will take a look.

 >>/18271/
You can select these particular elements you want to hide with the :nth-child(x) selector, where the x is the number of the element.
The elements of the form is in the table and the "Password" and "Drawing" fields are in the 5th and 6th table rows, or in the 4th and 5th if you force anonymity via your board's settings (ie. no "Name" field).
Then you can use display: none; css rule to hide elements (there are other options, if you prefer something else you can use that ofc);
Since no other table rows on the page you could use the following:

tr:nth-child(4), tr:nth-child(5) {
  display: none;
}

Or:

tr:nth-child(5), tr:nth-child(6) {
  display: none;
}

Depending on the Name field, as I wrote above. This is important, you don't want to hide captcha accidentally or something.

 >>/26983/
> If Tor reporting is blocked on /pol/ it ends up here.
/pol/ doesn't block Tor reporting. Of course we bring up the fact that the Tor project has many jews on their team whenever there's a /pol/ Tor shitpost. However, Tor is not restricted by me with any settings. Such settings don't even exist. The punishment since I can't ban Tor is to delete their shitposts. Genuine intelligent posting by Tor users is left alone. I have never tried reporting on Tor because I refuse to use it. As for your other points, I'm not suggesting otherwise. The point being, I as the BO of /pol/ have no control over how the site as a whole works. If you're having issues with Tor reporting, start a Twitter account and bring it up to Odilitime. The Meta thread on /pol/ is a sticky. You may post from Tor there and reference the offending thread as an alternative to reporting.

 >>/10257/ 
> click reload

I did, 20 times, and it kept saying "wrong answer or expired captcha". that's the issue
