I think that I got it done correctly. One post I can't figure out who they were replying to so I left it as-is.

>>29092
the currently-existing TOR node will remain. We plan to expand the regular TOR node to multiple internal IPs so that TOR users don't get hamstrung as much over trying to post at the same time, even.
>when you will possess what is essentially a catalog of our posts?
already the case, really. its more of a "we can't be bothered to" thing where the effort/reward skew for trying to hunt down specific spammers on the node is too bothersome, but if there ever emerged a persistent enough threat we would purge it.

the TOR pass system is basically us providing the option of a free, internally hosted VPN to use on leftypol.

>>29095
those retards think they are winning if we stub our toes. their site is dead and nothing happening right now will ever change that. if they had the righteousness of a real cause or the conviction to carry through a real revolutionary regime then maybe the users would follow them in an exodus a la bunkerchan, but as-is they just squat in more-or-less the same moderation structure we are using, except they blatantly signal "HEY, WE ALLOW MORE REACTIONARY POSITIONS HERE!"

How long before you ban all proxies and tor, meaning we will have to use your gay internally hosted data-mining system? That's what's going to end up happening. Everyone can see it.

Thanks for the /AKM/ and /hobby/ edits, I'd do these things myself, but I'm not janitorial.

As for the retards, while their site is dead and shit forthe most part, they know that too and are trying to drag leftypol down with them, so moderation here needs to tread carefully so as to not let them derail and damage this site's functionality through provocation.

Mods I know this policy wouldn’t be popular but can you implement a new time restriction for posting during certain hours, there’s already a post limit already but increasing restrictions on user activity when you guys aren’t available would do a lot to prevent raiding and preventing that CP or scat guy from messing up the site when all of you aren’t around.

 No.29123

Captchas for everything would solve the problem or at least limit the Nazi scat spam. Full on time restrictions would not benefit anyone except the sharty and net.

More likely is just disabling image posting over TOR for a while. Its a quick fix that doesn't impede TORposting as much and pretty much neuters the spam-waves.

Agreed, captcha is a last resort, usually brought forth as anti-DDoS measures thru Cloudfare. We do have a native, non-javascript captcha system, we just elect to not use it for anything right now.

 No.29126

>>29124
They just pay for the pass to bypass their ridiculously dumb captcha. Not saying we should (or will ever) get to that level, just that we need a sufficient program in place so spam becomes impossible even in dead hours.

A reliable captcha would solve the spam issue at least in regards to automated botting. Especially considering that using IP-hopping it makes deleting such bot spam time consuming as you've just spent like 20 minutes locating and deleting this honestly infantile and literal shit.

Captcha isn't 4chan exclusive, we had it on 8ch and temporarily on bunkerchan whenever /pol/ raid spam would hit. This is another case of such necessity and it's definitely better than the alternatives which would expose personal user data on and off Tor.

 No.29131

I have a suggestion in regards to that 2+2 thing for OPs.
Rather than 2+2 every time you could have the devs make a program that generates a different basic addition/subtraction multiplication/division question, or at least have a large set of different ones that cycle through 9x23 or 84/4 for example, which would essentially slow down OP spam, and wouldn't be inconveniencing any good faith posters since they're not trying to spam as many OPs as possible. Moreover it might actually be useful for people to do some basic arithmetic.

 No.29133

I think the OC thread being in leftypol is a problem relative to >>>/draw/. The fact of the matter is that the OC thread basically eats up all content that would otherwise go on /draw/ leaving the latter mostly unused. Moreover, because leftypol is so fast relative to other boards, it means that we go through OC threads quickly and they get put in archive, which (as I've mentioned as a problem before) loses files at time, meaning some OC goes missing permanently as the booru is not supporting of mp4 and webms.

Well, it would slow down spam a little, but the spam isn't bot-spam for the most part. It's incredibly schizophrenic /pol/ retards, .net loons, and soyjack teenagers.
>>29130
Likewise, automated spam is a minority - we do have a somewhat robust anti-bot spam filter in place which prevents the most common forms of bot-spam (copy-pasting page contents to fill up posts).
>>29128
I'm not sure how granular the system is for that. It'd probably have to be a captcha for TOR posting altogether, I think that is how the system works. It can either be enabled for posting threads or posting all posts in general, with the ability to narrow it down to IP ranges which have to solve it. We used that to filter out some mobile phone spam a while ago.

/i/-fags have openly admitted to using bot spam and AI-generated bait, so clearly the filters aren't catching that. Also the filters make it impossible to post in any language other than English unless I add an English text character into the post, as the system blocks posts like that, which it didn't used to do.

The recommended way is actually VPN + TOR. Even the tor project doesn't say you can use tor alone. Tor can be de-anonymised, especially if you control the node, which is why one should not run a node and hidden services from the same machine.

>Meh, you asked for it tbh. Just take the ban on the chin and come back when it’s over.
<I didn't make the post or appeal the ban
It seems pretty simple. If there's no mod active just disable tor posting or tor image posting. If there's a raid just pause tor posting for a couple of hours until more mods are available. There's no reason to put a rangeban on tor and ban people who didn't even post.

 No.29191

>>29181
So you think mods will deanonymize people who just use Tor? That’s a really stupid thing to say anon.

Rangebans are reserved for people abusing multiple VPNs, the pattern is easy to pick up on. If you get caught up in it accidentally, that sucks but, like, deal with it.

I suppose, but better a meme to spice up the thread then to have no posts at all and no mathematics going on to speak of, and if a meme can get people to do math and learn, then all the better.

Thanks for the other request.
