Hello /leftypol/ users. This is a thread to post ordinances, i.e. ad hoc rules voted on by the modocracy, which are not covered explicitly by the rules in rules.html, though most are arguably applications or clarifications of actions prohibited by the existing rules. Any posts violating these ordinances will be removed, and possibly banned at the mods discretion. This post will be periodically updated to reflect new ordinances, or to remove old ones./ttg/ - Tech Team General
This thread is only for feedback related to technical issues (bug reports, suggestions).the /edu/ nazi
there's one lone nazi poster in /edu/ who makes most of the posts and spams long long long psycho analytical schizo babble and basically makes the board his own personal diary and unusable outside of the PDF thread. Very depressing. Imagine being a new user, checking out the /edu/ board, and finding out the whole thing is a soapbox for one reactionary. Not very promising, eh?4chan Ads

Last time I asked for this nobody seemed to care, but now there has been discussion about it in the thread. There is an appetite for it, so I think you should make one. I know at least one person who would come back to the site if there was a space like that. We could reach an entirely new audience like the kind of hexbear leftoids, leftypol has a bad reputation among a lot of socialists and a board like this would change that perception. I seriously think it would get more people to join the website then you think. But even if it doesn't the people here want it.DRUG board

Maybe I'm just more perceptive then I was a few weeks ago but it feels like there's way more borderline Demcel and Radlib threads than before.

Just taking a poll of the users here. There always seems to be contradictory feedback on whether the mods are too strict, too lenient, or too inconsistent. So I'd like to make an unofficial poll to judge the userbase's opinions on the issue - and yes, VPNs are banned./cyberbarbarian/
Since the drama over the Elon/h1b meltdown thread, I've noticed some people would like an opportunity to provide more generalized feedback. Most of the time mods would prefer to stay behind the scenes and not engage with the userbase due to the numerous bad faith actors, crossposters, and others who would take advantage of that. The downside is that moderation is often really opaque to users which is a frustrating experience.Am I on an imageboard right now?
ummm can somebody please explain to me why blatant racist posting is either allowed on the board or gets removed without any mod action or ban whatsoever, but someone posting peepeepoopoo a single time is banworthy as "spam"? Can someone pinch me, or am I dreaming and actually using reddit in my sleep?Leftypol is sibera now.

Mods JSYK (although I expect you know) that multiple posts made by the same IP can be different people. If you see any good posts made by the same IP as a poltard, hazoid, pedo, gore spammer and such - odds are that its a VPN service like this (urbanvpn) and that the regular posters were using the same IP from the VPN as the raiders.dear mods
1. Disable Tor posting. Or if you're going to keep it, require some kind of verification like email + password accounts so you can keep track of people. The cons of keeping it around outweigh the pros, and I'm saying this as someone who regularly posts from Tor. People who are only here to stir up shit can and do use it to ban evade to their heart's content, and so you end up with people like Sandinistanon (picrel) who destroy every thread they touch.Moronic, I know
While fucking around with using 4chanX and OC I noticed that OC =BALEETED= the [Options] button, meaning there's no way for me to disable either of them now. 4chanX doesnt work perfectly with Leftypol and a number of features are boned by it.

Congrats on the elevation of Caballo from mod to admin!decentralize and reform
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./poor/ board?
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.REMOVE CUCKFLARE
I CANT EVEN READ POSTS PROPERLY BECAUSE OF THIS STUPID USA GLOWIE MITM BS YOU MORONS DECIDED WAS A GOOD IDEA TO PUT ON YOUR COMMUNIST WEBSITE/leftypol/ outage
I'll make this brief. /leftypol/ was offline from around September 9, 2024 (Monday) until September 12, 2024 (Thursday). This was due to a hard disk failure on the server. When the split happened a few years ago, one of the previous mods/admins rented a bare metal server from a company (as opposed to a VPS/virtual machine instance) for us to host /leftypol/ on. As a result the hardware was not abstracted away. We were unable to boot the machine. Furthermore this individual, having paid for the server in advance, has since gone missing and has been so for at least 34 weeks. We were unable to log into the cloud account due to it sending his email address confirmation message which we were obviously unable to access. As a result, we could not ask the hosting company for support. Also as a result, the only thing we had access to was the cloudflare and a dated sql dump+copy of the source code. As far as I know, the media files (including pdfs), wiki, minecraft server, leftypol tv, etc. are all gone and even if the aforementioned individual returns, its possible that it still won't be able to be recovered due to the fact that they were on a hard disk that failed.I2P Address

Sometimes its fun, but then after waiting for new threads the new threads are just boring regurgitated shit from 2017This website is becoming a shithole
>Fascists shitting up every boardThis board doesn’t discuss patriarchy
I don’t get why, patriarchy is a pretty pernicious and violent hierarchical structure that negatively effects both men and women, makes female workers more easily exploitable and easier to disrupt in organizing, makes men more likely to act as class collaborators with more powerful men against women from their own class and as a whole, is consistently used as a means to establish buy-in for many men into capitalism, with many reactionary bourgeois ideologies targeting young men playing heavily on patriarchal beliefs and norms, and of course, like it or not, but part of the issue with SA and less serious but still harmful forms of gendered and intimate abuse in some socialist parties and anarchist groups like it or not likely come down to patriarchal attitudes not sufficiently critiqued and deprogrammed out of male membersAfter a year and some change, the Leftypol twitter has reached 3k followers
♪ \(^ω^\ )Few basic questions about this imageboard
Hi i just found this site and im new to imageboards overall, too. I just have a few questionsIt's time to dismantle /edu/
Let's face it; leftypol and all other side boards have become more retarded ever since the theoryposters were given the ability to seclude themselves in their little book club of a board. They don't crosspost and they don't debunk jack shit because they're too busy circlejerking eachother on /edu/ to give a fuck. This is clearly one of the biggest problems with the website. Although i used to believe that /edu/ should be left alone as a repository of information, a digital library for people on leftypol.org to view once in a while to read things, while promoting crossposting using the overboard feature, the jannies have no willpower to overhaul the site. Instead i say it's time to break an egg to make an omelette by forcing /edu/ out of their little gooncave so that everybody else can be forced to get browbeaten by theoryposters. For the purposes of this thread ill admit im a theorylet myself, but if you're an /edu/ poster youre just as useless as i am theoretically if you dont DEBOONK.

Is it internal shame from being a liberal that you have to lash out and become some meme fringe sect of a fringe ideology?Bye guys.
It's been long overdue. I've worn out my welcome on leftypol.org, and although i have struggled to impress people and try to remain within the site's good graces by effortposting here and there, it's clear to me that nobody actually likes me here, and it's also clear that most of you guys are yankee collaborators if not outright US nationalists. I'm sick of being constantly ridiculed and mocked and it's probably better if i just focus on writing my second book and trying to stabilize my life, because my "comrades" sure as shit couldn't care less about any of it. I'm still going to be using element but i don't care about the site anymore, especially because the fucking staff can't fucking figure out that maybe instead of trying to constantly engage in the sisyphean task of banning reactionaries they should have been improving the site. I put forth proposals to improve the site myself, such as having an overboard that focuses mainly on collecting effortposts from /edu/ and /leftypol/ to reduce the theorylet problem, or having an overboard that focuses mainly on current events, like a dedicated NewsAnon section. I don't care to flesh out these ideas, i felt like i did a pretty good job explaining them in a thread that nobody cared enough to archive about 2 years ago. I understand that the jannies are understaffed but stop fucking wasting your time on cleaning up pepes and maybe focus on coding the fucking site idfk. Anyway goodbye guys. I thought maybe i'd have earned some respect by now but whatever. Despite the mockery and disrespect, i promise that when Socialism is established in the south, i will give all of you guys a position as indoor slaves where you can at least have air conditioning. You won't be mistreated.No progress?

Issue: The site doesn't support attaching webp files from the clipboard. The image of Komarov was copy pasted from a social media site which converts everything to webp, most sites today use webp because it's smaller than png - its just better in every way. I hate cluttering my drive with random garbage so whenever posting memes and shit I just copypaste stuff, but this issue is is very annoying because I have to go in paint to paste it there and copy it again before it will work.Zigger vs Both Sider Arguement Containment Thread
