/site/ - Site Issues

The board for discussing site related issues, questions, concerns, and suggestions.
Name
?

This field is optional. You can choose any name you want, or you can post anonymously by leaving this field empty.

Tripcodes are a way to identify yourself between posts without having to register with the site. To use a tripcode, enter your name as ‹name›#‹key›.You can choose anything you want as the key—it is private and will never be shown to other posters or stored on the server. For example:

Rarity#bestpony → Rarity!.4PK7yxdII

If you want a tripcode containing specific words, you can download a program designed to search for tripcodes, such as Tripcode Explorer.

Email?

Entering an e-mail is optional.

There are also code words you can enter here which perform certain actions when you submit your post.

  • sage — lets you post without bumping a thread.
  • nonoko — uses the original post behavior to redirect to the board index.

These can be used at the same time as an e-mail address by typing ‹email›#‹action›.

You can also use Skype names in place of an e-mail. The notation is the same as a link to a username on skype itself, which is skype:‹username›

>No Politics - This board is meant to remain light hearted and fun. We're currently considering a solution for those who would like to discuss such topics.
It has been a few months. Any ETA for a solution for political threads on this site? Or do we have to go to https://voidchan.net/ for political threads?

Well, it seems like traffic here has dropped off a lot since banning political threads. Also, that note about finding a solution for political threads has been up for several months now -- probably would be good to update it in any case, even if the final decision is just "go to voidchan for political discussion".

I offered to cat to x link to chat and void respectively in each others nav bars, but he didnt seem keen on the idea.
He thought people would troll chat or something.
Also i got accused of "sending the bad posters there" the other day because i told people to post their politics there, so like, im not going to recommend people go any specific place ether.

Fair enough though. Ill update it.

Was the idea of a /dis/ board here killed?

I dont even know what you are talking about.
I'm pretty happy with the current state of affairs, and i cant speak for them but i think toy and nep and shaun and zeke are too and we havent discussed making any changes.

I think maybe it was Neppy who floated the idea of a /dis/cussion board.

I feel like the quality of discussion/general posting here has increased ten-fold since politics were banned. Can't remember the last time there was actual drama.

Maybe in a post i didn't see in a discussion here, but what i mean is, the mods haven't gotten together to talk about creating and managing a board for politics though.

99% of the user base of the sites is the same, so site traffic would be the same and it would just be annoying to everyone.
So there is no point in trying to further split the community, to give you something you already have, and that the core userbase here doesn't want.

And if its a more strictly moderated place to talk about these things you're after, /townhall/ on ponyville provides a place to do that, too.

Suomi, I know you like posting long form OPs about world events and stuff, but the audience for that kind of thing isn't here, it's there.
Like I've told you before, you need to think of this as a lifestyle page in a newspaper. If you don't understand the analogy, i can make another, or explain in more detail what a lifestyles section of a newspaper was.

Regardless, 99% of the community is happy with the way things are atm, so there is no reason to change anything right now, it would do more harm than good.
