This thread is probably unnecessary but I feel like it's the only way to notify the owner about a lot of recurring glitches. Local TV has been broken for about a week and a half. This happens often but it's usually fixed quickly. Why does this keep happening?

His mail adress is floating around here somewhere, also I think he's on the IRC sometimes or at least people there can give you the adress there.

I don't think a meta thread is that bad of an idea. But I could delete the thread after we fixed this issue if you want.

To be fair, I only drop by every other day to delete advertisements/spam and I haven't touched the TV page in years. It seems to be working for me, though. What kind of troubles are you having?
Other issues can be posted in this thread or you can reach me at saovq@gmail.com.

I knew the English txtboard community was close but I didn't know the owner of SAOVQ was also the person that maintained Post Office

I wish I could delete posts, I'm drowsy and took a screenshot forgetting we were on a txtboard. But yeah, basically the video gets substituted with a black screen and a link for each video

That sounds like the YouTube embed isn't working. I was only able to reproduce it by disabling javascript. Could you check that that the embed isn't blocked by any of your extensions (adblock, ublock etc.)?

Hi! I got the same error and it's a mixed content security violation, you need to fix your js code to return https youtube link inside iframe when the Local TV page is loaded over https. Right now youtube embeds only works there with http, at least in modern Chromium based browsers.

Ah, you're right! Thank you for the clear explanation. I also made sure that fonts are loaded over https now.

It happens to small boards sometimes. /tea/ occasionally got guys that would spam it with frogs and other things until they got bored because they got no response.
13 Name: !Capey7gV1s : 2020-11-03 08:40
It takes me two clicks to ban the person and delete all the posts they ever made, but they find it necessary to keep changing their IP address and return. I agree with the tactic of ignoring them and waiting until they get bored.

to keep changing their IP address and return
If they get new addresses by resetting the router, you can ban the whole ip ranges, usually only the last digit changes. If it's VPN users, making a premoderation system for them is very effective - there's online services that can tell you if an IP address is a proxy node, personally I use iphub.info
Both methods aren't very hard to implement, if your software doesn't support it already and they only affect a tiny fraction of normal posters(those who use VPN for different purposes).

Problem with that is that even if the person doing it stops, there is a chance you will have copycats doing it and if it doesn't stop, it eventually becomes board culture.

You may consider not turning it off a week later and always keeping it on or attempt not acting like you sold out for datamining and ignoring the users until the front page is covered with Tor spam.

The community now failing to ignore the children attempting to get a rise out of the community unlike before i wouldn't be surprised if the attacker adopts more evasion methods until you are forced by your job to make new honeypots without any knowledge of what to do. Here's a hint so everyone that has to thank you for anything no longer needs too, route bots into the honeypot you will get more money and be less of a traitor. This community never deserved a comfy space and you are the supreme testament.

While I understand the dislike of how the previous poster used snappy meme tongue that definitely doesn't fit this place, you're extrapolating a whole lot from what was literally one post in response to troll attempts that have been going on for years. Losing tor posting isn't ideal, but I'm also not entirely convinced this particular board necessitates its use.
52 Name: Paperplane : 2022-02-06 20:24

no use in pretending that no one here knows any imageboard whatsoever, let alone the biggest one.

53 Name: Anonymous : 2022-02-06 23:08

You prove why it's been going on for years. Tor posting should be gone forever. This board does not necessitate those who act as if they've been here for a while. If you were here during the troll attempts that have been going on for years you would know, Tor was shortly turned back on but your response about extrapolating a lot from one post and not years of events says otherwise.
>>52
No one is. Read your own advice. Then rack your head around the style of this place. Entry without prius elitism. If you must know the latest reiterated bot feed from the biggest imageboard to use this place, it's a lost cause and might as well be myspace for newgrounds users. Does that sound like disorderly thought because it is and it's no different from assuming anyone who used the biggest imageboard a decade ago nonstop still uses it. They might of wanted a comfy space away from a endemic disease they can no longer handle.

I don't understand why you deal in these overly dramatic absolutes. I didn't even hint at knowing the latest 4chan memes is a requirement and I don't know why you would interpret what I said this way.
I just said that knowing the latest chan speak is no eternal damnation of this place as you make it out to be. I think you should take things easy. And these poor raids every few months aren't really worth losing your mind over. Life goes on.

Now you have used a phrase from a ¨esoteric subculture¨, this was the first sign this community does not deserve a comfy space but as in that ¨esoteric subculture¨, ¨meme hell¨. By doing this it has been proven forum flooding styled in that subculture should be allowed as is what happens in ¨meme hell¨, this isn't the current flooding but it could be slightly altered by replacing e and removing the last character. Does that make it allowed then like reiterated ¨copypaste¨.

If the phrase is some unknown lingo, it is effectually gibberish. If you want to call out assumptions i never said ban the user who posted it but called out the failure to remove gibberish that is effectively solicited spam.

The media for one old forum barely was related to the ¨esoteric subculture ¨ and this forum hypocritically made it worse when it was intended to not even know what ¨YKK¨ or ¨manga¨ is. That old forum did a better job at what this one intends.

The incapability to understand when ignoring ¨dramatic absolutes¨ and being tolerant of ¨AIDS¨ leads to comfy spaces being a host for endemic diseases, proves the community never deserved a comfy space. It's not as if you must go after posts which make a sneed at something without being a reiterated single statement but taking it too easy is rotting. It's vary sad day going over a graveyard with rotted demiurgos flowers and trash blowing about.

Life goes on.

The site is on life support, life ends.

>>59, 4-ch might be worth using if it wasn't infected by your kind and had slow posting. The worst assumption is it's limited to textboards and individuals. You don't want meta and should consider using something free of it like bus-stop or ignore meta threads.

Will admit those bogymen of yours do post meta outside of meta threads. That is one of my complaints for forums.

No, it's the unsavory language this community is fine with. A dialectic of Tanzania English, that can not be considered English.

The word metaposting and using () is part of this language; it doesn't have strict requirements for the comma with conjunctions or spelling. It's a language with barely any defined syntax or dictionary. Taking from an broken agglutination of every conceivable language.

→/read/1578548095 This isn't about how this community is incapable of it.
→/read/1579773212 There was no requests for the right community. Anything posted about communities was judgment not advice.

You sound as if you want a site and lbemanon meta thread not general meta thread. Not using proper subjects might be why you missed these threads do not accept the bogymen ideologies discussion, everything said by those bogymen here would have to bridge across multiple of the above and make new threads. This is disregarding how it would be out of place for 3 the threads you listed. Does this community want the front page covered with specific meta threads, why use sageru then if your asking for this.
