In Twibooru, when I try to rearrange the pics in a gallery the changes are never saved. They return to how they were originally arranged after I refresh the page. Twifag fix very please!

That's what rate limiting is for. Ever wonder why the site has a 10 second cooldown on uploads?

>>40931313
If you knew how the importer worked, you'd know it only makes two requests per uploaded image, 30 minutes apart. Less than a normal user browsing the site. But that's irrelevant - the site doesn't let me make even a single request.

>>40929675
I should preface by saying that the "Internal server error" is not completely new or unique. I believe I saw it about 3 times in 2023, maybe 2022, before the errors became frequent. Philomena crashes, and restarting philomena on the server allowsit to run again.

I should preface as well that PonerPics traffic in terms of number of unique users and data transferred is down significantly now and for most of 2024 than it was at its peak shortly after Marefair in september of 2023. Unique users are fully 1/3 lower than they were just after Marefair, and about 25% lower than they were back in August just beforeMarefair. If we look at the amount of data downloaded, the difference is even greater. It's down fully 40% from what it was at peak in October, or even 40% lower than it was in the month of December last year, when the regular crashes began.

I'm not entirely certain when the crashes began, but looking through messages it seems to have been around Christmas of 2023. The website would give an internal server error, need to be restarted, and then it would do it again. This started happening consistently, multiple times a day, every single day. Pupper showed me how to restart Philomena on my computer - I don't know how to code, mind you - so that I could restart it while he wasn't around. This went on for weeks. We did not know what caused the internal server error. We could tell that it had something to do with Elastisearch. We could guess that some kind of query or action was overstressing elastisearchsuch that it would time out, or otherwise consume too much data. But we had no idea why that would happen.

The first guess would be, as someone in this thread suggested, that our server was shit and unable to handle the number of requests it was given. We were, to besure, using a very cheap server that Pupper recommended, that surely leaves a lot to be desired as specifications go. But we have been on this server since March of 2023. Why would it be crashing regularly, now, multiple times every day, but not crash at all in the month of October? Or indeed, why was it stable back in 2023? Why is this only happening now, when our traffic is much lower than before?

Pupper believed from the very beginning, and has believed since, that the constant crashing of Philomena and Elastisearchwas caused by some hostile outside actor that had found an error or weakness in Philomena or Elastisearch set up a bot to make specific queries that would cause Philomena to crash. I dismissed Pupper's belief more or less out of hand. The timing of the crashes did not correspond to a human sleep schedule, but were common late at night or early in the morning, would happen periodically every few hours rather than all at once or after a long delay - and most of all, it seemed very unlikely that someone would attack the site without claiming credit for it on X, on 4chan, or wherever.

>>40931379
Then the day came, and we moved servers and moved to an updated version of the code. And it did not take an hour for the site to crash. Updating the code solved nothing. In retrospect I should have figured the problem wasn't the code. Derpibooru, Ponybooru, and Manebooru all run Philomena and don't have this problem. Ponyboorueven runs a very outdated version of Philomena, like we do, and they don't have this problem. And surely it wasn't likely to be caused by the unique changes we made to the code, as those occured years ago, and this was recent. So we were left to try to guess where the error was occuring. Pupper is not very familiar with the inner workings of Philomena still, and so he had no idea where to look.

The crashes became much worse. I had already started the practice of taking a personal laptop with me to work so I could use it to restart philomena. Most mornings that I woke up, the site was on an internal server error. On mornings when it wasn't, it often would be by the time I made it to work. And several times I would restart philomena after waking up, just for it to crash again by the time I got to work. Opening the site on my phone would always fill me with apprehension, because the chances that I would open it to see that it crashed were not small at all. I would restart the site several times in one day, and I have no idea how many times Pupper did it. I'm honestly amazed that we only lost 1/3 of our users, because every single time Philomena has to be restarted, the importer is turned off, to the degree we would sometimes go days without imports.

About one week ago, Pupper came up with the idea of simply triplingthe amount of data allottedto elasticsearch. This was such an obvious solution that I'm kind of embarrassedwe did not think of this months ago. Of course, we didn't know what was causing the crashes. Pupper was still very much of the belief that there was a vulnerability in elastisearch, and some hostile outside actor was crafting a request and sending it through a bot to crash our site. I told him, for about the 5th or so time that I did not believe that there was any kind of attack on our server. He asked me to set Cloudflare to "I'm under attack!" so I went to do this.

>>40931382
Yeah, "I'm Under Attack" is going to block API requests, especially from other datacenter IPs. You need to whitelist the Twibooru scraper IPs, or turn off Cloudflare on the image and API endpoints. I sent you a PM on PonerPics.

>>40931382
Now, I need to clarify that I have been checking PonerPics' traffic on Cloudflare periodically for the last 4 years. I know where our users come from. I know what is normal, and I know what is not normal. The vast majority of PonerPics traffic comes from the United States. It easily gives as much traffic as every other nation combined, and at least twice as much traffic as the next 4 highest traffic nations combined. The second highest traffic nation is usually Canada, with maybe something like 1/8 as much as traffic as from the United States. The Russian Federation is often in 3rd, and always in the top 5, with something like 1/20 to 1/10 of all traffic coming out of Russia. The top 5 is usually rounded off with Germany and Great Britain. We will get small numbers of requests from almost every nation in the world, but no countries really stand out, especially non-western countries. The pattern of usage is generally about what you'd expect for an English language show with an oddly high Russian fanbase. This pattern has been very consistent for many years. I had been checking cloudflare semi regularly out of morbid curiosityof how the frequent crashes were affecting our user numbers. I had noticed unique users were down, though the total number of requests were not.

Then I checked traffic by country, and was horrified by how anomalousthe results were. Hong Kong was number 1, with about 60% more requests than the United States. Austria was number 3, with more than half as many requests as the United States, and more than twice as many requests as Russia and the United Kingdom combined. Now, I had to take Pupper's theory seriously. I did as Pupper requested and turned on a captcha for the whole website. I found out through cloudflare that Hong Kong and Austria were indeed bots, unable to handle the simple security. Hong Kong has two IP addresses, and Austria has one. Googling the IP addresses gave us no useful information, save the hosting companies used by the IP addresses. I assume that these IPs are not web crawlers, because we've been crawled by Google and Yandex for years, and they've never used these countries before. Hong Kong was generating at least 11,000 requests every single hour. Austria was generating around 3,500 every hour. For point of reference, Great Britainwould generate maybe 11,000 requests in a day.

>>40931398
What is worse than the sheer volume of requests is the way they are made. These requests are not continuous,but rather, the Hong Kong IPs would, every minute or so, access 5 pages all in the same second. As the timer doesn't delineatetime more precisely than the second, it's likely that the pace of these queries is much higher than just 5 a second. Exactly what page would be accessed varied. Sometimes it was an image, sometimes it was a watchlist, and sometimes it was a tag. It's not hard to imagine that the bots opensa tag page, it creates an inquiry in elastisearch to search that tag. It's also not hard to imagine that sometimes, all 5 pages are tags. And with at least three different IP addresses active, it's not hard to imagine that every hour or so, multiple bots align to make10+ inquiries in much less than a second. And with Elastisearch being budgeted a small portion of an already rather underpowered server, this could very possibly cause a crash. What I knew for damn sure was that I didn't see these bots active on PonerPics before the crashes started. I think I may have seen Austria before, and I believe I have seen bot activity out of the People's Republic of China recently (likely after the crashes started), but this many requests from this small number of bots is new.

At Pupperwoff's request, and with confirmation from Porter that the captchawas preventing the upload of images through the importer, I turned off the captcha, and decided to throttle Austria and Hong Kong specifically. Then I noticed that Switzerland was suddenly creating a very high number of requests. I watched it for a couple hours, until it was clear that it was making 16,000 requests every hour. This was unacceptable, so I throttled that country too. That source was also using two IPs. I decided to stop throttling Austria after the first day, as it was "only" making about 3,000 requests an hour. That one Austrian IP is still responsible for 80,000+ requests a day. I do not know who these bots are from. I believe that Austria and Hong Kong are likely two different people/groups. I think that Switzerland likely comes from one of the other bot owners, most likely Hong Kong, as it only came online after I started throttling the bots, and the number of requests per hour is obscenely high, like Hong Kong.

>>40931356
>>40929675
>>40931392
We currently only have three settings that are new:

A high security setting
"Managed" challenges for Hong Kong
"Managed" challenges for Switzerland

Looking at your PM, I think I know what the issue is

>>40931401
.ch was very likely Twibooru, though 16,000 seems a bit high - the way it works, if an import fails it does progressive backoff, so it retries in say a minute, then 2 minutes, then 4 minutes, etc - but when the importer gets stuck for awhile (usually because one of the services crashes,) when it comes back online it'll retry all of the pending requests at a rate of about 1 per second and apply backoff if they start failing again.

>>40931406
The IP address you linked me is noted by Cloudflare as being blocked after delivering 29 requests in a single second... continuously over several seconds with 32,000 pages of managed challenges blocked in the last 24 hours

>>40931434
Yeah, because there's 4000 imports backed up right now - what do you want me to do about it? They're all going to be retried until they're done.

Also can you please either message me here or in PM but not both at once?

>>40929675
We fixed it! TL;DR it was unintentional.

i) Something(???, I'm not sure what) made imports start failing, leading to a huge backlog of them, in the thousands.
ii) This causes the progressive retry to keep retrying them, slower and slower, but still a lot at first (I think it starts out at once per 10 seconds and slowly backs off to once per day, but multiply that by 1000 imports and you see the issue.)
iii) PP staff decided to block anyone making excessive requests, assuming they were doing something untoward
iv) Twibooru got caught up in that
v) The solution was for me put a hard limit on the global number of requests so even if this happens again we don't look like a bad bot

However, due to that limit, the old imports will take forever to come through, so be patient! Probably about 5 hours before it's caught up again :p

Isn't it just funny how ponerpics has such a tiny userbase that 10,000 requests in an hour freaks them out? Seriously, that's enough to allegedly break the site? Maybe they're just salty about twibooru "stealing" their images and grasping at straws for an excuse to ban them?

Requests is not the issue. The issue is elastisearch queries, which some of the requests may or may not correspond to. The two countries were throttled a week before Floorb stated that one of them corresponded to his importer. Floorb has not claimed to have anything to do with the Hong Kong IPs, which were responsible for the bulk of it.

You know what? You've got me. Now that I've already won, I'll come out and tell you my evil plan.

I am super, super jealous of the software that Twibooru runs on. So I used my super sekrit high powered software and used it to look through all of the 10,000s of thousands of IPs PonerPics comes in contact with, and figured out which one was Twibooru's importer. Then I spent several months pretending like PonerPics was having internal server errors, and when it was time to lay my trap, banned Twibooru's importer country as well as several others! I waited for him to admit it was affected on 4chan, and of course pretended like I didn't know which IP it was until he DMed me. Then, when he asked me to, I unblocked it! Mwahhahhah!

And now, I have Disney and Warner Brothers in a bidding war for my story, as Disney wants to use it for the villain's plan in She Hulk Season 2, and Warner Brother's wants to use it for the villain's plot in Madame Web 2. And once I sell the movie rights, I will use that money to buy a less shitty server, even less shitty than Twibooru's servers! And then, PonerPics will have even fewer server errors and importer halts than Twibooru! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

And there's nothing you can do about it, because the studios are just going to keep on making superhero films.

>>40931398
I'm sure Austria is solely me archiving, so pls no block.

>>40931796
Actually, the amount of requests should only be because your installation has some errors, and my downloader also has some errors I was too lazy to fix.

>>40931704
I can't believe you would do such a thing D:

>>40931532
You're getting slammed by petalbot lol

>>40932237
I think you replied to the wrong guy. I'm not having any problems with my site.

>>40932242
Which ever of you runs ponerpics and didn't check logs lol
Not very assuring how it took them four months to even notice and still not understand why

>>40931379
So basically, you started getting attacked a few months after Mare Fair, where you cohosted a panel for boorus. Curious. If I was a theorizing man I'd almost say there's some relation there.

>>40931401
...But then why PonerPics did not crash when I downloaded thousands of images a while ago? I did not throttle requests much.
My most recent download was Derpibooru, it did not crash even when I run it completely untrottled, as much requests as possible per second. 2500 pages in a minute/few minutes or so. Cloudflare did get involved a couple of times, though, not the usual captcha, but white screen with plaintext Cloudflare error code, but changing my VPN's IP fixed it.
So either the attacker does something very specific, or your new server sucks ass (AFAIK you moved to another server at some point).

>>40932631
It's not an attack, it's petalbot. It's notorious for hammering poorly run sites to death
Derpibooru probably wasn't affected either because they block it, or their server is just beefier
It's not a good sign it took them this long to figure out something clueless wordpress users realize in less than a day

>>40932631
>>40932867
I'm not an IT guy. I have a liberal arts degree and a day job, but it isn't in IT. Maybe Pupper would have found it if he ran the cloudflare? I don't know.

>>40932237
That might be it

>>40932254
I doubt it

>>40932631
Requests and downloads are not the issue. The issue was that elastisearch was being overloaded. It's likely specific elastisearch queries that were causing the crashes.

Bump.

>>40932915
>I'm not an IT guy
Did you not read what >>40932867 said? Even a lowly wordpress user could figure this shit out, liberal arts degree or not. That said, what the hell was pupper doing if it could be this simple fix?

Anon, I'll admit that I thought you were pretty clever when in >>40931561, you figured out that I faked the internal server errors as a part of a larger scheme to temporarily disable Twibooru's importer. However, my patience with you has reached its end. I will now use the FBI software I used to isolate Twibooru's importer, and use it to find your location, which I will then give over to Kathleen Kennedy in Disney. They in turn, shall send the People's Liberation Army to your house, and replace you with a diverse, empowered, female version of yourself, who shall post on 4chan in your name, improving representation on the board. By the time you read this post, I suspect it will be your new, diverse self. Farewell!

>>40934631
To be fair it doesn't sound like you asked for help
A quick look at the server or CF logs would have shown the HK IPs and the URIs they were loading, and a whois would have shown they're all from petalbot, and that lead to how to block it
4-5 months is a really bad turnaround for diagnosing a critical issue and instead circling around conspiracy theories about the philo contributors or complaining about code issues
Hard to see the point of using ponerpics over twibooru, just seems like a wast of money and time
Also hard to see why ponybooru even exists but that's a different topic

This reminds me.

Among the works completed in the last month were a series of changes to the site to be implemented in the new code. These include fixes to long-standing issues like favorites not being correct or the navigation arrows not working, but also new features like embedded images and more sources of uploads, as well as new themes. These will now implemented on the existing code rather than the updated set, so there will not be a conversion to markdown.

Of course what I really want is the automated backend-importer. Pupper actually made pretty significant progress on the code for updating legacy scores and tags on imported images, although there is a big of a snag now with the speed at which it occurs. I'm hoping that because we don't have to switch code sets, the process will be smoother.

As always, we are looking for help on the technical side. Volunteers are always welcome, although honestly I'd accept paid help. I've tried to pay Pupper, but he won't accept anything.

>>40944409
When I saw that post, I wanted to make an epic collage of the hundreds of times somebody had used the phrase "4chan alternative" or "mlp alternative" on Desu, but they've only been used about thirty times total. It's more on other boards, but it's one of those Youtube/Twitter/Patreon things where an alternative does get made every couple of years but then immediately dies from lack of users. Ponychan, mlpol, nhnb and the /mlp/ on *chan are/were ghost towns. (You) can set one up right now super easy.

Crawlers and bots collecting images have a huge impact on the servers, it's a well known issue, so here's some unrelated question but regarding Foalbooru, foalcon.moe, is it ok how Pathos use the entire site as a source of content for generating AI foalcon? Isn't this against the morale or idea of altboorus?

What do you mean? We have the protest of Sunnyfeetfan and allies going on in Ponerpics https://ponerpics.org/images/6928738

>>40947262
I uploaded a porn image to a generic image detector (think it was ChatGPT4?) and it determined it was "a shiny anthro pegasus laying on its side holding a can of energy drink" - you could probably find the image on Twibooru using that description. So I think it's possible, especially with fine tuning a model for MLP and booru tags.

>>40955731
Can't they believe they went full troon before freeing Sunnyfeetfan, Ponerpics has fallen off.

Ugh... So, it looks like someone spam reported us to our hosting provider. You can see the letter I just received from the hosting company here: https://twibooru.org/provider-letter.txt

Correction: it's full manebooru. The Foalstein List has such gems as:
>Openly admits to dating 16/17-yo in US/Germany while living in NZ. Also shown prone to outbursts of racial slurs.
>Soliciting for a date from a user they knew to be a minor (17) and direct implications about asking for sex.
>Sexual harassment / attempted grooming of a user they knew was a minor in DMs
>Sent sexually-explicit text in a public channel of a MLP server sexually-explicit text doubleplusungood enough to land you on Foalstein List: the spongebob copypasta
>Pretending to be between 5-9
>Attempted to groom a minor in DMs (reported by minor, no screenshots of DMs obtained)
>Posted porn in a MLP server general chat. Further investigation found them associated with nazi furries and “teachers are literally pedophiles” posts on their Twitter.
>Racism/transphobia, 2nd hand report of cp + grooming, could not verify
A lot of the "verified proof" is either completely unrelated messages or accusations too, that is, not proof at all by the normal people's definition of the word.
The derpiusers list also has an "Untagged Foalcon" listing, which is, quote,
>Images that are "untagged" are images that were manually reviewed and found to sexualize young or teenage characters but do not have the "foalcon" tag. My understanding of the reasoning for why many of these images are not tagged is because "they aren't foals" - eg, the artist aged up a 7-year-old to be 14. Or the creature's species is not equine. Or they may argue that "cutie marks are the age of consent in Equestria" as if that reasoning makes the imagery non-pedophilic. Some of these images in the "untagged" list were even confirmed to be hosted on a lolicon site, yet Derpibooru staff refused to remove the image when I reported it.
And for everyone "proven", remember: they shared your names and your DMs without your consent. This means it's entirely within moral high ground to share THEIR usernames.

>>40956453
>Irrelevant enough to not be in the list
>Not favoriting anything and always posting as Background Pony is paying off
Well, that at least confirms that this harassment-campaign-leading SJW have no inside staff in derpibooru.

Cloppy Hooves here. Apparently I'm on the list because I've drawn foalcon and loli. No DMs or anything illegal. I'm not even into the shit. I'm just some dude living paycheck to paycheck lol.

I don't know if it's related but I had someone randomly DM me accusing me of sending unsolicited nudes. I left the DMs and called them out in public in my server. Demanded they post these so called nudes right there for everyone to see. They post a couple of random dudes with completely different bodytypes and dick sizes. Everyone present laughed them out of the server lmfao.

I need some clarification on this one:

I spotted in the list around 100 or so pictures in this category that are extremely fetishistic, including gore, vore and diapers. Does this mean he manually crawled through this extreme content and classified every single picture by hand? This process must have taken years

Current status of FoalFetch... I've been hacking away at it for about 8 hours now. I've got all the relevant pages implemented - search, results, story and chapter viewing... Search is about half-implemented (some of the fields don't work.) I'm currently at a bit of a block, trying to work out some bugs in the script I'm using to import the fimfarchive into FoalFetch's database. I'm going to TRY to get it out tonight, but I can feel my death approaching ever nearer, so it may be tomorrow instead.

Alright, a little update... I added a bit more stuff to the search. The script to import the fimfarchive data into FoalFetch is running. Unfortunately, I didn't code a progress counter for it, and it's already been going for about half an hour, so I have no idea how far along it is, but I'm too afraid to restart it with progress in case it's almost done. In addition, I'm waiting for a VPS to be set up for the site. I'm thinking I'm gonna head to bed, and get it finished up in the morning. There's not really much to share in terms of screenshots since I just ripped the design directly from FiMFetch, but you'll get to see it all tomorrow.

>>40958272
As usual, I forgot to mention something: once it's polished up and bug tested, it will be fully open source, including the scripts I used to import the fimfarchive dumps and instructions to use them, so that anyone else can set up a copy if they want.

>Page 10

Late night bump.

>>40958272
The script crashed overnight. I fixed the issue and also added a progress counter. It seems to be doing about 1000 stories every 2 or 3 minutes, and there's over 200,000, so it will indeed take awhile. I could probably parallelize it because it seems to be CPU-bottlenecked (it has to parse every EPUB file,) but ideally I only have to do this once, so...

>>40960041
Thanks for the heads up.

>>40958272
While that's catchy, this is kind of like naming twiboorr/ponybooru something like "nazibooru" and expecting it not to have a negative effect.

https://foalfetch.net/ is live... It's probably really buggy, so please let me know if you find anything amiss. The basics should be there, though. Feature requests are welcome. I've already noticed some of the tags display are wonky, so I'm going to work on that. Also, searching for negative tags in search seems to not function.

>>40962875
is this bait or do you not know my feelings on docker

>>40962910
Feature requests:
- Separate the different kinds of tags into sections each with its own dropdown for better searching.
- Word count and chapter count search criteria, or if they already exist, buttons for them.
- Search by whether fics are deleted from FiMfiction or not (and not the lame include/exclude thing FiMfetch has).
- Cookie-based library listings, so people can mark something as Read Later etc., and a way to download the cookie (yes I know it's already on the local computer, but cookies aren't nice to deal with) for importing to other devices.
- Search story text (you will NEED elasticsearch for this, but it can work, consider this a long-term goal).

>>40962910
On Hiatus status not working. Annoying because my only story with actual foalcon is that status, so right now FoalFetch and FiMfetch show the same results for me!
How will I ever keep my reputation as a degenerate if proof of my foalcon story in the big foalcon list is gone, man?

The problem with a band of people out to mug others for being impure is they're self-destructive. Their standards are too high to be met by most, and there's nothing to make them automatically hit them before entry...so they have to go after each other.
They aren't commies tho, Databyte is a Bidener. Guy literally doesn't let people post about weed because of muh federal law, and thinks Biden was right to kick out people from the administration for past weed smoking that was legal in their states (after lying to them it wouldn't be an issue). They're bootlickers who, if they met a glowie, would in a second have their tongue so far up the glowie's asshole that they could taste stomach acid.

>>40963192

Fuzzy Search refers to like, you search "mate" and results include "mating". It's basically just a way to deal with how words get twisted or misspelled.

>>40965442
I have good news for you - we already do that, to an extent. Text queries for authors and titles are analyzed using ElasticSearch's "snowball" analyzer:

>The snowball filter is used to stem words based on a specific stemmer. A stemmer uses some rules to determine the proper stem of a word. That means different stemmers may return different results.
>For example, the words “indexing”, “indexable”, “indexes”, “indexation”, etc will be stemmed as “index”. It’s particularly interesting to retrieve a document with the title “Make my string indexable” when you search “Indexing a string”.

Results for "mate" will indeed include "mating" right now!

Something I should note is FiM has like 10 different blush effects, with some being non-gradiented, some being gradiented on the edge only, and some being pure gradiants, that vary massively in coloration, and are all cheap flash effects.
This version is based on nearly replicating Scootaloo's blush in the episode Ponyville Confidential.

Oh, that's very adherent to the official art style. could you maybe lower the alpha on the red one and add 3 narrow diagonal ones over it? would look more even

Sorry, but pajeets and other white-collar workers are not meant to run servers. Please find a job you are suited to, such as wasting company's time in a cubicle or serving as feedstock of a bioreactor, at your earliest convenience.
>>40968677
If a program written to depend on version 1.0 of "an app" does not function with a version 2.0 of the same "app", it should be rewritten to not depend on that "app" in the first place. Even before consdering shenanigans like, despite rejecting backwards compatibility, the "app" refusing to allow multiple versions of itself be installed simultaneously and correctly used by dependents.

>>40968688
The definition of a major library version (ie: new X in X.Y.Z) is one that is no longer backwards compatible in some way with previous versions.

all the files for the deleted stories on fimfetch are still there, you just need to go to https://fimfetch.net/download_story.php?story=[STORY ID HERE]&epub or &html or &txt or &mobi

Doesn't work. It downloads a file, but the file does not contain the text of the story.

does it not? i was testing it with https://fimfetch.net/download_story.php?story=119323&html and https://fimfetch.net/download_story.php?story=460019&html, since they were the two most recent stories in my browser history that were removed, and it works fine on them. what story are you trying?

Make searching use descriptions too please, not just the short descriptions but the full ones. I'm not sure how hard this would be to implement, but it would be very useful.

So, uh, I'm finding cheese pizza on Ponepaste right now. Does that get deleted automatically or what? I'd hate for the website to get shut down by it again.

>>40976103
Floorb should be watching the thread. Still, you should send a message. There's a "contact" link at the bottom of the main page that sends stuff to the admin.

>>40976103
Neat, this gives the mods of ponepaste their upload address which they can give directly to the fbi.

>>40976103
How much you wanna bet its actually PCL members who actually have the real Cheese Pizza?

>>40976149
Nobody handles CP without using proxies hosted in countries that can't even read English

>>40976132
>>40976149
I ended up reporting it, which I didn't know was a thing until today. It's gone now.

Would it be too hard on the mods if guest would need verification? Since this shit is from guesr account and qi see roughly 5 to 10 guest shit per month perhaps this would be a safer solution

>>40977494
Maybe things added by guests go into a penalty box where they need to be approved by a trusted user to be visible to everyone?

>>40977504
Something like that. I'm browsing and almost every page you see a guest story removed by mods. I feel as a community we're small enough to get that protection. Would be better than floorb and Co getting problems imo.

The best way to deal with bad stuff on PonePaste is to report it, we have a small mod team that will hide the pastes for admin review, and then the admins (me or Aftercase) will delete the paste contents.

Small FoalFetch update: Made author links do something (show all stories by the author,) started work on the news page (there's nothing there yet.) I'm going to be reimporting the index, which should take about half an hour, and should fix sorting by title/author.
Also, what logo do you guys think I should use? Or should I make it an option? I think an option is the best. Or maybe even make it random per-session? I'm not sure, I want thoughts. I like the current logo but I don't want to waste the efforts of the multiple anons in this thread who put together some new logo/banner ideas!

>>40977595
Make the logo change with every fresh session.
Also to really piss off the PCL, have a couple of hardcore pics, like of the cmc, or even the cake twins.

You'll need something particular for embedding no matter what, and I think it should be something sufficiently SFW for Discord (so the one with the mysterious liquid drop and butt kisses would probably need to not have those kisses going into the buttcrack, just the one that's approximately in the CM area, like the attached image. Scootaloo would probably work better than AnonFilly for this purpose.
I do like the idea of cycling for once people are actually on the page, including some softcore stuff (like obscured cunnilingus/doggy style with an adult giving, nude filly pissing, filly in panties with a wet spot and obvious cameltoe; all very cartoony and not graphic, like literally show style, as odd as that'd be for nudity) that would never cause trouble in the US with its dumb vague obscenity law, but would definitely piss off normies. You could as well make it so it chooses from a random set of characters for coloration and manestyles to impose.

>>40977666
Not everyone that's ok with foalcon/rape fics existing wants to see images of it unprompted

That would be a nice touch, like how DD managed to make a light/dark version for ponepaste, then finding the right colors would be great, or a different text style.

I'm feeling pretty unmotivated today, so I made this. https://foalfetch.net/foalcon-advisory/

>>40979731
Based.
>One moderator of derpibooru once bragged to me that "foalcon" was simultaneously the most filtered *and* the most searched-for image tag.
Is this actually true? Were you that mod?

>>40979817
We don't store any information on what people search for, not even aggregate information, so there's no way for us to even know what the most searched for tags are. As for filters, it's theoretically possible to figure out the most filtered tags, but it would require database access which mods don't have. Either DataByte or the mod he was talking to made it up.

>>40979817
Yes. No.

>>40979831
So he starts off with a complete lie in the very first paragraph, before even getting to the list. Surprised no other derpi staff called him out on that.

>>40979160
you can't go wrong with the tomorrow css colour scheme

>>40979731
Holy based, Floorb.

It should be noted that many users never change off Default (they're lazy/dumb) and Default used to filter it (despite already filtering all ratings that could be Foalcon).
You could probably say "Nazi" is the most filtered today since Default filters it.

Uppity.

Pics of ant feet haunt their dreams? Or is it ants with human feet, or something?

When are smuttyhorse and ponepaste going to only allow registration through invite codes? If it worked for cockmail it'll work for them too. I miss invite begging threads on /g/. Disable guest posting and ban the entire invite tree of any account that posts cp.
