The site will go through a period of teething issues, please make note of technical issues that you notice here. Problems right now that I know of: - movies don't upload fixed - reporting always returns "wrong or expired captcha" fixed - "divBanCaptcha_location" at the bottom of pages. fixed - clicking the "catalog" link from the "moderate thread" view returns a 404

We've just finished updating our front end. Reporting now works. The error at the bottom of the page is gone. You can now access board logs from the header. And the about and global rules pages have been updated from their default text. You'll also notice that the email field has moved. It's no longer at the top of the posting form. Instead, click on the "more" button below the files section of the form, and it'll be there. This is to prevent it from being auto-populated by your browser. Lastly, and most importantly, we'll be implementing a new feature to prevent spam starting today. Rather than using captchas for threads and posts for the most part, posters can now fill out a bypass that will allow them to post for 12 hours. This bypass will take several moments to work, as it involves your browser cryptographically solving a problem to provide proof of work. This will help to prevent spam in the future. We can't rely on cloudflare to protect us from everything, and spammers are always finding new ways around it and whatever firewall measures we enact. This should be a more definitive solution. Let me know if you have any questions about the update in this thread.

We've come a long way since we moved to the new domain. What we've accomplished so far Back End progress: - Upgraded to lynxchan 2.5, this has facilitated many of the improvements made. Setting up the board software properly, with input from stephen (lynxchan's creator), has made everything run smoother in general. We can now troubleshoot much easier, and running the software as it was intended to run. - Upgraded servers so that we have daily automatic backups created - Upgraded security. By upgrading to lynxchan 2.5 and also upgrading our front end, we know have access to proof of work bypass verification which will eliminate pretty much any spamming threat that can get past cloudflare. - Re-established our Tor Onion Server - Eliminated 500 errors - Set up 2 gb of swap space, which we didn't have on old servers. This effectively gives us more ram to work with when the servers are under stress. - Scalability. Before, the site would sometimes break due to heavy traffic. The spammer has helped us test how the new back end handles this, and even with hundreds of posts a minute and thousands of IPs per hour, the site kept running as normal. Front End Progress: The front end we inherited from Space and ComradeRat was incomplete and glitchy. We created a new fork of lynxchan's default front end (penumbra) to fix these issues. - Fixed watched threads function - Fixed the reporting function

If you want to appeal a ban, don't forget to post your Ban ID here along with your appeal. Without it, it's really difficult for us to find your ban. Thanks. You can reach the leftypol team through the matrix chat (find it in the FAQ thread in leftypol), or through here. /leftypol/ Mod feedback thread Mod logs: https://bunkerchan.xyz/logs.js?boardUri=leftypol Substitute leftypol with whatever board you want to check. Questions about why you were banned. Appeals. General inquiries. Complaints.

Remember when /leftypol/ had hundreds of users? Now it has less than 70. Perhaps banning 80% of the internet and basically forcing JavaScript with the bypass validation wasn't such a good idea huh?

why is leftypol so dead? what happened? where did everyone go?

We should ban most slurs (and not wokescold crap like stupid isn't a slur). If we don't this will become 4chan

this site is dead with no salvation, it can't endure so many boards with so few posters this measure can delay its downfall at least a little more

This is in reply to a post by a janny in the "why are nazbols tolerated here" thread: >>8805 I feel it deserves its own thread 1. My first question is about idpol. what does "idpol" have to do with something like, white veganism? 2. >rejection of liberal tactics to mitigate the problems of racism: inclusion of minorities in leadership for the sake of their identity, reparations, acceptance of racial guilt, affirmative action are you saying you reject affirmative action, and reparations? because ngl thats a pretty damn suspicious look. >rejection of liberal tactics to mitigate the problems of racism is also a particularly concerning way of framing it; coupled alongside the list you gave i'm almost positive you're a reactionary beating around the bush to avoid saying explicit dog-whistles

Hey where'd all the posts go?
