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.

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 only shit I've deleted in the past month on /v/ has been some niggerpill (which is very much a real person and the fact you think it's a boogeyman betrays you are a tourist) posts, my own post I was too lazy to log out to delete, CP and some off-topic thread solely made for talking shit to the rest of the board by some sperg who had been making passes on /v/ and /r9k/ the same day.

The post I deleted in /v/'s meta thread was my own. Posts aren't getting deleted for being anti-anything. A poster very recognizably posts the same rhetoric with the same language for years (jews won, Japan is cucked, >we may as well kill ourselves, etc.). There are plenty of posts complaining about the state of the games industry that aren't getting deleted because they were clearly not made by the specific individual referred to as niggerpill.

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.

I just need a QRD on the decision process for how most of the posts from the ongiong /pol/-vs-/leftypol/ raid on /v/ are ontopic, since I know at least 3 people are reporting it (me and at least two others), and now it's been left to fester for long enough that the sharty is somehow getting involved.
Because, while I'm not seeing the logic for leaving it up, I am seeing things decline further into two increasingly emboldened offtopic sides going on an autism crusade to "retake my board" and trying to bait each other out like shy homosexuals, when an orbital ban should get them to all fuck off.

<inb4 we didn'ts want to take a side!!!! der politics is a very serious bsnss!
<inb4 it's been a few days, it's over now, there's no point (just ignore that it's ongoing)
<inb4 they clearly made a throwaway one-line comment "You can push A to jump!" at the bottom so the 13 paragraph wall of text about politics above it is 100% ontopic and isn't what the post is about. our hands are tied!

Also as a side-heads-up, one of the obvious /v/ culturewar threads is repeatedly being hotlinked in 4/v/ culturewar threads https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/text/zzzchan/

I know jack about this and it feels a bit late to the party, but should there be some anti-LLM use/LLM detection on this board beyond the captcha, or is it not worth the effort? There are some articles out there where scientists have denoted the following attack:
>Identify individual users on boards, either by IDs or stylometry.
>Use a bunch of proxy LLMs to "swarm" that particular user.
>Eventually that user is demotivated to post.
>Keep doing this until the board is dead or filled with bots.
Even with captcha, you've got BIT and other gov units that use this strategy because they realize now that it's much more effective than outright banning a website.

Everything has changed so much since 8chan shut down that at this point the rest of the internet is unironically more radical than fringe imageboards that they'll have to lock down the entire thing or dramatically increase mass surveillance at an unprecedented level, which is what they're in the process of doing.

The point of pointing out a vulnerability doesn't have to be "This is happening, therefore we have to do something about it", it can be proactive, "This is a vuln., let's patch it up before it's an issue." I think this falls under that.
Also, this doesn't have to be about swarm attacks. We're getting really weird advanced LLM posts. E.g., we're getting posts like >>>/v/314215 that are just so bizarrely written it's making me wary of the unknown bot activity on the board. I'm not saying to go to smugli's level, but something seems prudent here...

Only a couple other posts from that range in general in the past 150 pages of posts (~15 days or so) and correlating it with other posts likely made by one of the users who has used that range, it appears to be a proxy of some sort. Probably an onion range, but I can't definitively tell from the hash alone.

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.

No clue what you're on about now. I have zero recollection of deleting anything related to that anime.
