[He Sets Me On Fire]

Well, look, I have to be honest ... I'm not too clear on how to put websites together. I'm thoroughly inexperienced in writing code. I don't know anything about programming. I'm totally unfamiliar with PHP, unless you mean that stuff that you take in one of those Grand Theft Auto games that lets you run around without getting hurt and just misspelled it. I wouldn't know, because I've never taken it. I never use the internet. I doubt that I'm on the internet now. I have no way of knowing. Never once have I ever written anything on a forum.

What am a forum?

I'm not actually on a computer right now, because I don't know what it does, other than make coffee. Somebody said once that I was actually using a coffee maker and not a computer. I don't drink coffee, so I wouldn't know.

The thing about all of this is that the Kiwi has been good to me. I appreciate it, and I appreciate what Null (and others before him) have allowed me to express and achieve here, including some wonderful interaction with a lot of great, very wise, very encouraging folks. As such, I'm happy to support Null in this new endeavor. I just hope it helps.

I feel the need to say that I read this entire post in Bane's voice.

Sorry, I only donate to transsexual video game developers with a litany of mental illnesses.

Your passion is obvious. The Larachan website has an aesthetically pleasing design.

But you spoke to me with your pop addiction. And then you said Pepsi Max > Coke Zero, so I knew you were legit.

Enjoy $10 of Pepsi Max on me, @Null.

I really love how almost every single autistic rating except in this thread is from Obamatron.

Having worked on the code and having shopped around for alternatives, I know that the future for 4chan alternatives is bleak. As 4chan itself is proprietary and increasingly becoming less of a bastion for free speech (as is the rest of the Internet), this is unacceptable. In the last few years I've come to recognize and appreciate the fleeting existence of true free speech on the Internet, and I feel strongly about wanting to preserve it.

This looks to be a really interesting concept, but in the context of this statement, I'm curious about the design features you plan to implement. Would Larachan software include any global moderation tools or capabilities? Maybe something more like Reddit, with user-created sub-boards establishing their own mods, guidelines and best practices? Or, in the interest of the free-est of speech, would the software disallow moderation of any kind?

I'm going to avoid injecting personal management into anything hardcoded. The way I want permission layers to work resembles how this forum works so admins can change it.

You'd have something like this:

Root Administrator
Site Administrator
Global Volunteer
Board Owner
Board Volunteer

Board O/V are specific to a user owned property. Ideally, what you'd end up with is a situation where you can apply different levels of permissions.

Lets say that I'm a Global Volunteer and I own /kiwi/. Right now, with Vichan's setup, I would be able to arbitrarily delete any post on the system without reason. In an idea future, I would have, for instance, Global Volunteer permissions in /a/ but Board Owner permissions in /kiwi/. This means I'd be able to arbitrarily delete posts and threads on my board, but in the Anime board I'd need to specify an approved deletion reason set by the Administrators.

In a very transparent system, these deletions would be listed in a public moderation log along with name. Each deletion reason would have an action in terms of what is hard-removed from the system.

If I GV delete from a pedo board a post that has child pornography using the "Child Pornography" reason, that would hashban the image but perverse the text.
If I GV delete from /baphomet/ a post that has credit card information using the "Credit Card Information" reason, that reason could trigger a text deletion.

Of course, if a post has no images, it can't be deleted for CP. If it has no text, it can't be deleted for CC information. This decreases the ability to abuse tools by narrowing their specificity.

I run a forum with about 3 million views a month. When people get banned they take it out on me. Slandering someone as a pedophile is the cheapest, easiest, most effective form of character assassination.

Regardless of your opinion on me as a person, I am an exceedingly strong developer and have never mismanaged money -- especially not other people's.

That is all I have to say on this.

I dig it, especially the transparency it allows for non-permission holders. How simple would it be for those with permissions to add or define new reasons? I ask because, though I really like the idea of selective element deletion, my first thought was that people could skirt around that by sharing the information in different formats (i.e. posting a text link to CP, posting a screenshot of someone's CCI, etc). The solution to that seems to be either allowing the various permission-holders to quickly define new reasons as new examples occur, or broadening the type of content banned for the reason, which pretty much defeats the purpose of selective deletion.

However, if the gatekeepers can define their own, subjective deletion reasons (for example, a Red Pill board owner defining "being a mangina" as a reason for text deletion and using it to censor dissenting text), would that be acceptable? Or would that run contrary to your "absolute free speech on the Internet" goal?

This is making sense, y/n? I'm under-caffeinated and am almost certain I'm missing something obvious.

So, any idea why I can't get the larachan.org to work yet. I heard it was pretty. I like pretty things. Yes, I am a simple person.
ps. My sister's exhusband new wife made the same accusation, when they separated, so that she could get sole custody. It was despicable then, and is now.
pss. Or, is there maybe a different way I could see larachan.org?

Boards fall into the pseudo-"private property" class and BOs can do whatever they want. If I had time to develop these systems, I would allow BOs to make local report handle tools.

New permissions would be easy to set up. I've made mods for XenForo and I like how they do them. I'd probably copy that.

Really?

I was giving examples of how I would set them up. These aren't absolutes. The point was the potential to specify "Request text body / require image" in a reason. If I ran a board and wanted "bcuz" to be a reason with total deletion and no requirement, I could do that.

I'm sorry if this was already answered somewhere and I missed it but it's really bugging me. Why is it named Larachan?

Spoiler: Theory

Lara is the name of Null's first love

Introduction to Larachan
Larachan is an open-source imageboard software suite built on the Laravel framework in PHP. It is being built with the intention of superceding all currently available imageboard applications, inspired by my own long time use of imageboards and general low expectations for existing options. My two large contributions with the Infinity Development Group gave rise to the concept of starting from scratch.

Thanks again, Null, I may just go sit quietly and shiver for a while (mumbling about "Well, WHAT IS my Cloudflare Ray ID??")
I just saw the PM, sorry.

 

[Null]

I sent you this in PM too, but for anyone else having this issue:

You're running Windows XP, and Chrome can't process the SSL format for whatever reason. The solution is to not use Win XP, or to access the website http://larachan.org (without the HTTPS). You can't donate without SSL though, unfortunately.

 

[marganagram]

I had a feeling that might be it, My windows 7 computer fell over a lot and then died(?), so I have been using this (Win XP). Okay, toots, thank you for your help.
