So how do we know polchan.xyz isn't compromised?

You should have a cyclical stickied meta thread, this could be it.
ITT: Discuss how 8/pol/ has been subverted, how the terminology, and posting quality has gone into the double-digit IQ levels, and staging an exodus
ALSO FUCK XYZ DOMAINS REEEE ;^)

Misc Q&A

I have a couple questions to kick this off.
1) What is the board's stance on avatarfagging? Beaveranon and maddowposter are the only two examples I can think of, so it's not a big deal as far as I know.
2) is there any way to contact mods directly? An email address or something similar?

Youtube embed a security risk

Every time we load a page with a youtube embed they get a log of the pageload with IP and referral. Whenever there's a thread with a youtube embed on the catalog the same thing occurs. Unless you install uMatrix and block it, this is a bad thing. Do we really want youtube to have a gigantic log of pageviews and IPs? Google shouldn't be trusted with this data. If they want it, they should be forced to work for it. I suggest disabling embeds, or setting it up so it doesn't load a preview image or video until a placeholder image is clicked.
The mods on 8/pol/ are shit, but if this place is going to be a repeat of their shit opsec it's hardly worth visiting here until the post rate gets up more. Good work on the site by the way and fuck imkamfy

Tor and i2p

Yo you niggers have a Tor site or wat? Also, are you faggots going to add yourself to i2p?

You need to be thinking long term. Tor and i2p are the future of image boards.

Discord

What are your thoughts on making an official /pol/ Discord? If anyone has their own IRC server, I would be willing to consider that, but if you use a public IRC server there isn't much that can be done to restrict channel access (which I imagine you would want to do).
R: 7 / I: 2

ITT: We request boards

i think it's a good idea to have a single thread were new boards are being proposed/requested so this board won't flood with threads from people asking for their own boards, so let's post all our requests here. i'll start by requesting a /meadhall/ board where people can organise meetups in their regions. Worked very well on 8chan for some countries, and it will probably help here.
besides that i was wondering if there is room for having country/language specific boards? one general [country]/pol/ thread does not allow the amount of room for discussion relevant to one country that a full board offers. it does not even have to be one country only, if there is not enough room then the netherlands and flanders can share a board and scandinavia (without finland) can probably do with a central board as well as germany and austria. so far my suggestions

STRATEGY THREAD - WHAT IS THE FUTURE FOR THIS PLACE

As we can see 8ch/pol/ is going to shit, its bleeding users like never before.
They are now second place in the catalog, just a week ago they were over 3000 active users, today just 2451.

Also the coopted moderation continues in retard mode banning Redpill threads.

So the obvious question for Mod is, the site is ready? when will be ready? you plan to make an advertisement campain? if so when?
Also how do we manage to bring here only high quality users only?

Banner Thread

Official Banner thread!
Currently the only banner is pic related, and it kind of sucks. There needs to be some better ones. Banners need to be 300x100 px and can be animated.
R: 11 / I: 2

Animated gif thumbnails.

Hey admin, since we want to have this place a good ol 2014 feel (8chan used to have this), Why don't you have a animated autogif thumbnails

$('document').ready(function () {

var animateGif = function () {

if ($(this).children('img.post-image').attr('src') != '/static/spoiler.png')

$(this).children('img.post-image').attr('src', $(this).attr('href'));

}

$('div.file').children('a[href*=".gif"]').each(animateGif);

$(document).on('new_post', function (e, post) {

$(post).find('div.file').children('a[href*=".gif"]').each(animateGif);

});

});

Also use Lynxchan, much more better software. >>>10 >>10 or >>>/pol/10

Ya need a /test/ board

If you're going to have your own codebase, users will need some kind of scratchpad

Broken threads

There are a few broken threads on /pol/ (possibly other boards too).
These threads were probably deleted due to spam. Although, for some reason they are still accessible through the catalog.html.

Will polchan have more or less religious D&Cing?
R: 13 / I: 2

When you will finally make the "Home" look like pic related? How long will it take?

Also where is the Overboard already?
R: 4 / I: 0
Aryasone is just Faggetts/Heil and created this site to stifle the endchan migration.

Prove me wrong.

Would you be interested in using LynxChan?

Among it's features it offers:
File deduplication, saving bandwidth, disk space and allowing users to post files without uploading them.
Overboard, aggregating posts from the whole site on a single place so users can browse more easily.
Multi-board, allowing users to aggregate posts from only selected boards.
Extensive anti-spam and anti-flood tools that aim to both impede and reduce damage without inconveniencing users.
Addon support, which enables features to be added without the need for a fork.
Modular front-end and language pack allows for the site owner to customize it without having to change the actual software.
Multi-lingual support automatically detects the user's language and serves the site in his preferred language.
On top of that, it offers better performance than any other engine and extensive documentation.

You can see a list of sites running it over here:

Typo

Hey, new poster here. Just wanted to say there is a typo I noticed. "Search" is missing its "r" on the boardlist.

Anyways, I look forward to lurking/posting and keep up the good work!

Requesting mod position

Hello Führer, I'm the owner of 8ch.pl/pol/ and agree with your sentiments towards the 8chan moderation and freedom of speech. Obviously .pl/pol/ is not an ideal bunker due to it being hosted in France (and on the excess resources of another chan), so I fully support using this one instead. I would very much like to join the moderation team to help keep the quality on polchan high.

I will happy to confirm back on .pl/pol/ with my Owner tag to prove I am who I say I am.

P.S. Beware of Imkikey sneaking in and snagging a mod position. He tried to claim ownership of .pl/pol/ back when it was unclaimed, but I luckily got it before him.

I have some questions for the owner of this imageboard.

1. What is your real political stance and motives behind making this imageboard?
2. Why are you using such a poor software (Tinyboard+Vichan)?
3. Why is there no links in the "Required Watching" section of the Rules page?
4. Why is there no technology board?
5. Why does it say lurk more when there little content here?
6. What is the file limit and post options?
7. Why is there no flags on /nat/?

I also have some suggestions
- Add a dark theme
- Do transparency reports monthly
- Replace Email field with "Options" and Bump instead of blank.
R: 3 / I: 1
I have a suggestion: create a boards list with stuff like PPH, PPD, active users, total posts and board topics.

Custom CSS?

Would Custom CSS benefit not only /pol/, but maybe other boards too?

Take a look (This is the power of Custom CSS, the HTML is different on endchan and lynxchan through.)

I can help you with the Custom CSS.

Polchan Homepage Website Description

I think it's important that this place have a description for what it is on the main page, explaining the purpose of this site, and why it was made in the first place- and so on.

Also, mind adding custom or ideology flags on /pol/?
