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.

Block AWS and Azure IPs from posting. Glowies and Think Tanks use them.
So it is just a bug that you're blocking posters from uploading Animated PNGs?  Because someone forgot to include apng in acceptable mime types for .png?  Boy I sure hope that's the case.

I would hate to think you're actually trying to push subpar substitutes for animation like webm or webp out of some uninformed hubristic sense of knowing what's best for the web, like that arrogant fuck m00t started doing over a decade ago back on 4chan.  Because right now you're the only alternative image board I've come across that does this.  Is this the company you wanna keep?
Are  broad range IP tor bans a thing? Because it's making it hard for me to mod my board if I'm banned on a bazillion bridges.

If you're trying to solve a CAPTCHA through the onion but it's missing/invisible, try the workaround in >>4626
Make sure to open the devtools window before opening the captcha window, or else you'll have to refresh the page.
You can also replace the image's URL with http instead of https as a fix.

Details for the fish: seems like jschan fetches the captcha image with an URL containing https, which doesn't work over the onion.
It doesn't happen constantly, but often enough to be troublesome. It happened to me while posting this.
Looking at https://gitgud.io/fatchan/jschan/-/blob/v1.4.1/models/pages/captcha.js?ref_type=tags line 54:
                .cookie('captchaid', captchaId.toString(), {
                        'secure': production && secureCookies && (req.headers['x-forwarded-proto'] === 'https'),
                        'sameSite': 'strict',
                        maxAge,
                })
                .redirect(`/captcha/${captchaId}.jpg`);

The secure field in line 55 may be why it converts the URL to https.

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?

Do not lose faith. Sin separates us from God until we are lost, and even then can we be found again. But I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness. And Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. Micah said.
Jesus promises a full salvation. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Some people want to pray away sin or wait for the Lord, they saw someone who was delivered from something in a single day

>1. What will the focus of your board be?
Trains (& foamer culture).
>2. What will the rules be?
Global rules, no faggotry, and a stipulation to keep discussion on-track (heh)
>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?
Warning if it's off topic retardation, immediate deletion if it infringes on global rules. 
>B. A spammer posts CP. What do you do?
Global report, lock board, delete posts. I'm inexperienced with moderating image boards but I'm sure these tools are avaliable.
>C. A spammer has slid your catalog and all unpinned threads are gone. What do you do?
If possible I'd limit thread creation to prevent this. Otherwise, cleanup & thread restoration.
>4. What time range(s) would you normally be able to keep an eye on the board?
Night, Pacific time.

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.

>is Tor currently disabled/banned sitewide?
No, TOR is enabled sitewide. It has been temporarily disabled in the past but we don't need to do this anymore.TOR posters now get unique IDs per-session which makes cleanup easy on our end without sacrificing privacy. 

>are VPNS disabled/banned sitewide?
Not explicitly, but they aren't given special treatment either. If someone abuses a VPN with enough adjacent addresses then that VPN is going to be unusable for a while.
permabans aren't really effective these days so they are avoided

>were either or both of those ever disabled/banned sitewide?
Before TOR posters had unique IDs we did have to turn TOR off briefly a couple of times, yes. 

>are either or both of those disabled/banned by any of the boards here?
No boards ban any VPN explicitly. 2 boards ban TOR but that decision is left to the BOs. 

>are there any restrictions for posting through Tor or VPNs, like having to complete a captcha each post or not being able to post images?

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.

How about the "kiwiflare" solution that null from 8cuck (now kiwifarms) made? Any obstacles to a similar implementation on this site? Maybe replace SHA256 with something like BLAKE 3?

>The system is a proof-of-work using SHA256. This is similar to how cryptocurrencies work. When you are seeing this page, your browser is doing math to try and solve a very complicated question probabilistically. If you have multiple tabs open, they will all do work, but if one finds the answer, they will share it with the other tabs.
>One of the main advantages to this system to what I was doing before is more lax rate limiting. There is still rate limiting, but when you go over the limit, you will be presented another DDoS retarding page instead of a 429 error that will last several minutes.

Speaking of removing boards from this site's webring list, why not remove fatty's board? As far as I ever saw, it doesn't even list other webring boards (or obfuscates whatever page is listing them, at least), so it's a bit parasitic.

Seriously, I've come to agree with those saying it's awful: it's awful.
>half the pieces are ambiguous whether they're filled or not (rooks, queens, bishops)
>so good luck if you get more than one of those and have to try every combination
Like come on look at pic related 1 and tell me which are the full pieces, the two obvious ones are the queen and the diamond in column 1 and 3 in the bottom row, but what about the rest? Why the fuck do I have to reroll 5 times before I get a readable one? And don't even get me started about boards with a dark theme which for some reason applies to the captcha as well, it's like nightmare mode difficulty as the contrast all but goes to heck. And to add insult to injury, it stops working entirely after a few rerolls and the only thing that fixes it is either waiting 10 years or restarting the browser altogether, moreover, sometimes it goes out of sync or whatever and it fails you regardless of whether you do it correctly or not. I've had super ez ones with just 1 piece FAIL even though I was 110% positive it was correct.

I'm not saying don't have a captcha system, but for fuck's sake either fix and improve this one or get one that's not as fucked. it's so unnecessarily tedious it's the main reason I don't post as much and don't ever bother reporting shit, and I'm sure it's the same for many as well since I've seen people complaining about it for years. And fuck off don

The only anime site you need is Nyaa, which never gave out a captcha for me.
The biggest problem with the captcha is that sometimes it's hard to tell if bishop or queen are solid or not due to the image distortion.

Why are mods dismissing reports of blatant bot spam and CP posters ban evading with reasons such as "this is not what global reports are for" "abuse of global reports" when global rules clearly apply? Are these not global rules?
>2. Do not post child models, underage, "jailbait", social media posts of kids, etc.
>3. Do not spam, flood, (D)DoS, etc which may negatively impact site performance.
I spend my time doing the retarded fucking captcha for each and every one post I see spammed on /a/ /k/ /v/ and /b/ and you just gleefully dismiss all the reports in one go. Since both of these things are clearly allowed, I feel like I wasted my time trying to report them, I'm just gonna join the winning team and help them out reposting their shit whenever I see it, not like you can ban me anyway since I use Tor.

So the content of the post doesn't matter as long as the report isn't verbose enough to describe it? So you won't even check the content of the post yourself to decide whether it's violating any rules or not? So if someone reported CP with "faggot" as a reason you'd just dismiss it because the reason isn't satisfactory? You're a dumb nigger, you're the blackest gorilla nigger on this entire site. If you can't or aren't willing to do your job properly then leave it to others you incompetent, lazy, vantablack nigger.

Your post is nullified by using a nigger pic (and doing it on purpose to "own" me further aggravates it), and also writing the same word over and over in all caps ("SPAM") just makes you looks like a creepy gaslighter and not very convincing.

Here we can see a practical demonstration of how, after being exposed to certain stimuli, the implants in the delusional spammer's brain get triggered, the MK Ultra kicks in and the delusional spammer automatically regurgitates the pre-programmed, cookie cutter mantra he's now repeated a thousand times over. At the end of the exercise, the reward system releases the dopamine he's been conditioned to be dependent on, and the delusional spammer, having satisfied his most immediate urges, resumes his routine of looking for more stimuli to be triggered by and thus repeat the cycle once again.
