I have been, but it's a shared resource. Someone will inevitably screw around and I'd like to kindly ask they be deleted rather than the rest of us be blocked. It's the one day with rapid time-critical posting.

Congrats on the elevation of Caballo from mod to admin!

This has been a long time coming and despite some disagreements from parts of the mod team on ideology, no one can deny that Caballo has certainly earned his spot as he has put in quite a lot of hours modding.

Now we truly are, ""Caballo's Clique""

Thank you, thank you, I pledge to use my new powers only for the benefit of the modocracy, and so on.

congratulations! such an increased level of responsibility surely comes with a hefty pay raise!



 

Purposing a change to improve the legibility of the Jungle theme: a text shadow with a darker green and orange to make the quote text pop.
span.orangeQuote {
    color: #FF8C00;
    text-shadow:  0.05em  0.05em orange;
}
.quote {
  color: #789922;
  text-shadow:  0.05em 0.05em green;
}

Thing that could help readability and eliminate redditspacing:
div.body {
text-indent: .25em each-line hanging;
}

very subtle, doesn't change short lines, makes longer lines way easier to tell as being new lines.

maybe crosspost this on tech feedback

Why are there THREE /USApol/ threads on /leftypol/? Shouldn't there just be one active one? And why are they all "(full)" what the hell?

>>36249
We have decided to remove cycling and generalization and see how that works out. The old ones will just bump off the board. You can make your own USA topic if you want!

>We have decided to remove cycling and generalization and see how that works out.
<board unsurprisingly becomes an incoherent mess
Pls stop being retarded.

seems like people aren't making it to the new threads and its just killing discussion. i use threadwatcher and rarely visit the catalog so when people don't post the new thread in the old thread it just looks like no one is talking then you realize theres already 300+ replies in the new thread a day later. it also bumps slower threads off the board.



 

its clear to me that the current mod team is about as effective as an impacted bowel, and so radical reform is needed. I feel as though we should have a federal structure for leftypol. I.E. reorganize the matrix chat so that we have one room per board. Instead of having site wide mods we would have each board be governed by a single mod (for slower boards) or a clique of mods who share power. Each mod/mod clique could make their own decisions about who to bring on as janitors under them. Unlike now, those janitors would only be invited to the proper board-related room, and would not simply be junior mods non probation but instead would be perma-jannies.

Developers/IT people and Administrators would still have site-wide power.

In order to break up the traffic to multiple boards, /leftypol/ would simply become the name of the overboard/site itself, and we could have in addition to a brazilian board, other boards for geopolitics, /edu/ would be renamed /theory/, etc.

I feel this would be a good thing because currently you have a ton of inactive or semi inactive mods who just hang out in the matrix all day and don't actually mod. Giving them their own little project/fiefdom would encourage them to clean up the thumbnail graveyard, and actually do maintenance on the alt boards.

you could have performance based metrics, using PPH / IPs on the front page you could measure if the mod is doing a good job by whether they have driven more traffic to their board over time while maintaining quality. If they do a good job they can get responsibility over another board of their choice, if not they will lose out to someone who does.

which would help have more 24/7 coverage.

>>36235
>I never suggested larger boards should only have 1 mod. In the OP i said you have have a clique of mods instead of one, especially for higher traffic boards.

I mean sure but this would necessarily mean that not all the mods we have on staff would be able to mod all boards. Which IMO is bad for coverage.

>giving particular mods control of particular boards encourages accountability.


I mean yeah I kinda agree on this, which is why I said above that maybe we can appoint a mod for each board (probably not leftypol because it's too big), and they will have special responsibility for it, but not that only they can mod it.

>The reason is because when every mod controls every board you have a bunch of free riders.


I mean is free riders really an issue? Not like anyone's getting paid here.

>Lets take your example of the CP on a low population board. The reality is that an admin would likely be the one to remove that even today. The same people who are admins now, would be the ones removing it in reality already.


Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Here is an idea for more mod coverage. Why not give OP's weak mod power within their own thread.

Like this: They can't delete posts or images by others, but they can hide things from view. And anybody can see that it's the OP that did it. Posts get replaced with "message hidden by OP" and image spoilers added by OP get their own special graphic. And anybody can reveal for themselves all posts hidden by OP by just clicking a button.

>>36262
thats cool but would probably require some software work since afaik no current imageboard works this way

Okay, so on 7chan there exists a board called /jew/-Thrifty Living. Basically, as the name suggests, its a board about how to survive as a broke ass prole. Some of the more interesting threads on that board are the DIY threads that teach you how to save money or make some side cash by using life hacks.

It would make sense to have a board like this on leftypol where a sizable chunk of the userbase struggles economically in one way or the other (especially with the decline of the labor aristocracy in places like the US + other countries). Think of it as a board where proles share notes on how to live a better life under The Man's system. You could call it something like /pl/ - proletarian living. Sharing knowledge on how to survive and thrive is just basic praxis and solidarity as far as I'm concerned.

>>36227
Maybe you can make a /poor/ thread first and see how that goes first.

Seems general material ngl

>>36229
>>36245
Yeah you guys are right I don't know why I thought we should have an entire board when a gen thread would suffice. The question now is what board would that go under: siberia or leftypol?

>>36248
I think it can go on leftypol since it's at least kinda leftism related

>>36251
Siberia since on /leftypol/ it will inevitably devolve into argument whether buying fresh vegetable is a first world labour aristocrat decadence.

Cool flags. I have a fork of the leftypol code so I'll try and make a request to merge it to the mainstream code, but like I said earlier (>>36173) the Dev team all have lives outside their volunteering, and they use what time they can spare for the site to, no offense, work on more crucial issues.

The mods are thinking there are too many generals and we should uncycle some. Thoughts?
85 posts and 7 image replies omitted.

literally the worst possible choice, keep the generals but uncycled (???)
unusable site

>>36174
>>36179
mods voted by majority to uncycle all threads and stop enforcing generals.

I should have made a post announcing this, will do it tomorrow as I'm going to bed

and now all the boards are pure slide garbage threads
good job

It was never meant to be a left-wing version of /pol/, but an offshoot of /lit/ focused on Marxist theory.

Most posters now haven't even read the Communist Manifesto.

>>36070
well the reason its called leftypol is because it was meant to not be 'politically correct' i.e. tumblr era radlib/""sjw"". meaning performative identity politics to the exclusion of all else.

>>36070
>marxist literature chan with 3 users
<a broad open forum for multiple leftist ideologies with 300 users

leftylit would just be a worse version of 4chud /lit/ and you know it. 99% of lefties don't read and the 1% that does reads the same authors.

>>36070
>he believed the myth pushed by e-celebs to sanitize the site for their friends on twitter

>>36070
>Most posters now haven't even read the Communist Manifesto.

Most havent even read it back then.


>>36161
LeftyPol in general is just chuddies wa ing a hammer-and-sickle.

Ultimatum to modocracy:

>>36143
Eval-ing the arguments or embedding a context free language in the dice roll code don't seem like particularly good ideas and the usecases are marginal.

we do need turing complete dice rolls, actually

>>36146
Arithmetic expressions aren't turing complete. You'd need to use unix dc as a base for example.

>>36147
>Arithmetic expressions
? I said turing complete

>>36148
Then my suggestion for turing complete dice rolls is to reimplement dc in php but with r as a dice roll operator. I could do this in a few hours if i knew php.
