I've migrated and fixed a bunch of shit along the way, but if anything is broken please use this thread to report it. I've locked the previous thread to focus new issues here.

Two known issues:
- Favicon didn't fly so good
- Need to set up a new tor socks5 proxy for webring

Both of these will be fixed shortly.

Is there no way to institute an automatic timeout instead of closing it altogether? As in, issue a 10 minute cooldown on onion posting when a certain amount of messages are posted in rapid succession?
is onion still down?

There have been a few new users as of late, though. He will probably restore the onion service when he has time and feels confident in deploying the autojanny to combat flooding.

EDIT 9/17: APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN FOREVER. FEEL FREE TO SUBMIT ONE AT ANY TIME.
I will leave the rest of the post intact, please ignore the special stipulations.

Hello and welcome to the fist round of BO applications for zzzchan. I will outline the application process below, along with some special stipulations for this first round.

To apply for a board, you must submit your answers to the following questions: 

1. What will the focus of your board be?
2. What will the rules be?
3. How would you handle the following hypothetical scenarios:
    A. A user who is only breaking the rules of your board has a substantial post history that is perfectly fine up until the single instance you are reviewing. What do you do?
    B. A spammer posts CP. What do you do?
    C. A spammer has slid your catalog and all unpinned threads are gone. What do you do?
4. What time range(s) would you normally be able to keep an eye on the board?
5. If your board becomes active enough, do you agree to look for one or more vol(s) to help you? Do you know anyone already?

When you're a retard who deliberately reads everything in the least charitable tone possible, I'm sure transparency appears to be antagonism. If this is because I don't stick to baby talk to coddle retards who continue to spew bullshit and insult me after I have laid out my reasons for taking certain actions, I don't care. This isn't a professional setting.

This is a long overdue state of the site address. ZZZ has been languishing for a while now and as its admin I can only take responsibility for this and work to address/reverse it. I will not be making excuses, I can only offer this and future changes as a mea culpa. 


With that said, here is the plan for changes going forward. All feedback and suggestions are welcomed, I just ask that you stay on topic and keep the shitposting light and tasteful. 


Site Maintenance

- I will be updating jschan this Sunday evening and I will be performing monthly updates going forward. I will look into properly automating this but you'll have to excuse my paranoia when I've had debian fucking brick itself updating because I tried to install a more recent version of ffmpeg. Consider this the initial shit test for the rest of the plan.
-I'll be paying more attention to /meta/ in general, specifically bug reports. The current bug thread will be edited with a guide on submitting a helpful bug request.
-I'll be fixing the text errors across the site as well.
- I have a WIP custom docker image for jschan that I have picked back up, this will ease automation of updates and other management tasks once complete. Current progress is around 80%. This would also speed up a full redeployment if needed as it would handle redis etc.
- All recent (last ~6 months+) hiccups in site performance have been downstream of the proxy hosting provider (although some were due to massive attacks on major infrastructure). I use this provider because they explicitly state that they do not care about cartoons in their TOS. If anyone is aware of any provider with a similar policy (and preferably accepts monero) please let me know so I can set up a proper failover.

If I can brag about one thing, ZZZ has always had a robust backup system. All site data and configs for all parts of the infrastructure have encrypted backups. It has always been the case that if all ZZZ servers were to vanish overnight I could rebuild the site within 24 hours (would mainly be waiting on upload to the new server).

>The reason why you cannot stop CP on altchans is because the person targeting them uses a bot net to run it. He offers a "free VPN" to attract idiots to his service, and then posters use each other's infected machines as a proxy. But he has control of all of it and uses it to post CP on websites he doesn't like.
You're conflating this problem with the commercial CP spam. The former mostly targets 4chan because the guy behind it is a skid who can't implement the same service for other boards.
>>5979
>Null wrote a full post about it on kiwifarms and how he was trying to work with other sites so they could create a way to recognize CP through an AI style image recognition model.
This did not happen. Instead, he reinforced the website's moderation & reporting functions, all for the purpose of letting trusted users more easily report things and letting moderators more quickly manage user reports. The owner of soyjak.party did reach out to the Farms for co-operation, I do not know if anything came of that. He actually explicitly said he was not doing what you describe, https://kiwifarmsaaf4t2h7gc3dfc5ojhmqruw2nit3uejrpiagrxeuxiyxcyd.onion/threads/the-gay-pedophile-at-the-gates.232155/post-22929200

This thread is for handling boards from other sites that wish to migrate here/have been orphaned if public thread creation is locked on /meta/. If public thread creation is open you are free to make a dedicated thread here, otherwise I will make one for you.

The rules for migration are : 
- All Migrating/orphaned boards will be considered outside of the application cycle and should contact me at the same email address listed below.
- I will require proof that you are/were the BO/mod of the original board, or that the moderation team for the board in question has fallen apart.
- You must agree to follow all global rules for this site.
- You must agree to actively moderate the new board.
- If accepted, you must notify anons on the old board if it still exists. I do not mind If zzzchan is used as a bunker, the new board will be unlisted in this type of scenario and will not be announced until ready.

Feel free to ping me at [email protected] in case of a happening. I'll come right here.

Hello and welcome to zzzchan! I will be using this thread to explain how this site is set up and answer the initial wave of questions. Thread creation on /meta/ will be locked initially, I will explain how this will be handled going forward below.

Now, to answer some initial questions:

>Who the fuck are you? Who are the other mods?
I am sturgeon, I was a mod back on fat/v/ and later z/v/. fat/v/ was my first role as a moderator in any capacity. I'm happy to say that Pasta and seagull have also stuck around and will be managing /v/. r9k's BO will also be back.

>Nice namefagging
I intend to only use my name & role tag when posting something relevant to my role or the site. 

>Why have you set this up?
Because zchan was doing fairly well before the admin pulled the plug without warning. I'd been considering making my own IB since fat died but once zchan went down I decided I had to make the effort. 

>Will you abandon this after x amount of time?
I've gone through the effort of setting all this up after losing 2 previous boards. I'm doing this because I want it to, and I plan to keep this place running as long as I can.

The issues with Joyeuse have been frequent and he acts as a net negative to the site. In the thread over in /b/, I was merely talking about AI until Joyeuse became unnecessarily hostile (which isn't a problem in itself) and then proceeded to delete my posts and ban me for calling out his childish tantrum while accusing me of derailing. I was talking about the subject like a normal person when Joyeuse got hostile and immediately started name-calling and kvetching. He's the one that derailed the thread with his personal tantrum and then went on to abuse his moderation position not due to any rule infractions of the site, but purely because of his infantile ego. As such, I'm starting this thread as a general "fuck off, Joyeuse". I'd also like it to be known that I've tried to be civil with him the entirety I've been here, so this is his own doing.

Warmcum banned you for this malarkey. You're baised. You would have banned and deleted that couch thing I made if you knew it was me when it was posted as it's more sexually provocative than the bathub pedobear stalking image. It's not that it's rule breaking, it's that it's me and you've admitted to finding me annoying since before you even became a moderator. 

Honestly the image was hilarious. It had a black checkerboard to trigger schizophenics from /x/ into thinking it had magic powers and other such funny things such as excaliber and I literally typed out dokuro chan. Dokura chan kills pedos in that anime. It was not advocating pedos it was a jab at pedos.

Again, I don't know if you need to feel more important or victimized or whatever, but I delete what I raise concerns about and am permitted to. I have raised concerns about the other things you mentioned and didn't receive the permission to. /v/ just recently had another big debate about video games age of consent and pedoshit so it's not "malarkey" in any sense. Pedos have been pushing their agenda on this website since forever. I didn't presume I was deleting specifically your posts at the time. I find many users annoying, OP for example, but the only reason his recent posts were deleted was because he started throwing a metaburger tantrum over my opinions that I made as another faceless poster, not because he fundamentally disagrees with my opinions. I am free to dislike who I want so long as I don't let it color my judgment. You're free to disagree with me, too, but not every thread needs to devolve into autistic screeching about metadrama.
>dokuro chan
No clue what you're on about now. I have zero recollection of deleting anything related to that anime.

Admins! MODS! Fellow Cuntymen!! Lend me your...
Ah. Anyway, I throw myself to the benevolence of the MODS here.
I'd like to run a thread in /b/ just for fun.
I know that in other chans this has been a possible datascraping  gambit by glownogs, but I'm not that.
I appreciate the bullshit you guys have to put up with, having deep involvement with both FChan and OChan, and while I also support keeping Anonymous boards Anonymous, there are times when individual thread Namefagging or even Tripfagging is desirable.
I assure you, I won't (intentionally, ) ever use the above namefagging in any other thread
Since there isn't a /ck/ board here,(not that this chan has a large enough base to warrant one,) I figured I'd post it in /b/

I wanted to clear it with you guys first, since I hold no real umbrage with a MOD enforcing the RULES by B&ing several of my posts, but I wanted to make sure we are all on the same page if you allow this thread.

I'm also well aware that there are bad actors that use bullshit arguments like Muh FreezePeach in order to try to shove boundaries that should be non-negotiable.
I won't do that.
You guys say NO, and I'll respect that.
