Sounds right. Her song about her bf losing his virginity without her, was a direct reference to her losing her own virginity to a group of music producers. When I learned about this way long ago, I was like, “Damn this bitch will do anything for fame, even to get a train ran by old men taking her virginity.”

Just a heads up to the few VPN users, I will implement a total ban on VPNs soon. From what I've seen the recent CP spam IPs at least in the past weeks are all covered by this VPN IP list. Not procrastinating on that anymore ( https://sushigirl.us/yakuza/res/1198.html#q1276 ) since we don't really have that many active mods and I will no longer be able to visit regularly due to personal circumstances, i.e. mostly due to crunch time work especially this month, but I can't complain because at least it's not roofing out in freezing cold or sweltering heat from 6 AM to 7 PM for minimum wage, as well as recent health & mobility problems with my parents so I have to help them, dad's recovering from ministroke or w/e caused his faint and pissing his pants a couple months ago, mum's recently got some hip issue since last week and is wailing in pain when standing even with opioid medication and can't really walk, haven't got x-ray results yet, but from what I know I'm sure they'll fully recover in a few months, plz no fake condolences or well wishes, I don't care about formalities or what you think about me or my family, I don't know you and you'd probably hate me IRL knowing my luck, just blogging you on what's up and why you will not be able to post with VPN anymore soon so you don't whine about why you can't shitpost with your VPNs anymore. Shitty new year for me but what can you do, I know fate is that my life only gets worse, I will see it to the bitter end.

I didn't think it was so serous to warrant such a reaction, though you can't expect users to know even half of what's going on behind the scenes. I don't think a blanket ban on VPNs is the right choice anyway. If you need help, I would take on some burden of minor moderation privileges, like being able to remove posts from sight but not outright delete them and their content personally, or just to delete/unlink files, lock threads, etc. I check this website pretty often when I'm not asleep or outside (sometimes I check if I have a connection outside, though). I have moderated boards before; upon being requested to and consciously tried to separate my ego from mod actions, in fact preferring to argue with posts I disagreed with instead of censoring them. If you don't trust me with any sort of moderation privilege that would be sufficient for suppressing outright-illegal spam, that's fine. I personally don't access this site (or any others) through a VPN, but I still don't think it's a healthy move to block them wholesale.

You mentioned that you don't want condolences for your parents' deteriorating health, but you spent a lot of your post discussing it so I will say that it's a very arduous process to go through. Not quite there with my own parents, but have gone through it with my grandparents and a couple other old folks I cared about. It's certainly not fun to watch your loved ones deteriorate into something pathetic or even unrecognizable. To ensure you that I'm not fake-caring, I'd like to demand to know where the fucking Roddy Piper/Nada flag is, you emo bugman faggot. A blanket ban on VPNs is fucking retarded regardless of if you feel comfortable of granting me some level of mod burden. There are far more active boards than 4chon with lazier moderation. Saw 3+ CP spam threads up on a higher-traffic board for a whole day within the last few days and I haven't ever seen the same here as far as I can remember. Whatever, you made up your retarded mind about this shit anyway. Fuck you.

>>97473
Sorry lad. My parents have been needing assistance for a while so I understand what you're going through a bit, although they're in more predictable, stable condition these days. Try and encourage your mom to seek a chiropractor. While their standards aren't as uniform so it can be scary, they represent a pretty cost effective access to an x-ray and diagnosis-and if nothing else often have good inroads with spinal professionals outside of the chiropractic profession specifically if it turns out to be something that needs a more intrusive surgery.

Both myself and my mother would likely have ended up on a lifetime of pain medications without the 5 or so chiropractic adjustments we'd had. In my case I hurt my lower back from bad posture at work and lifting something heavy wrong, and in her case it was bad posture, in both cases I truly believe we'd have been permanently impaired without the chiropractor.

Reason being: I had waited several months in a literal hunchback-like state before I realized whatever happened to me wasn't likely to get better on its own

I sought treatment for my mom within two weeks on the back (pun intended) of my own success employing that method as she was in terrible, wailing pain much as yours seems to be; she needed assistance to stand and sit, meaning I had to sleep nearby and help bring her to the bathroom in the middle of the night and stuff so I felt more emboldened to try asap

Turns out that-once again-in 5 sessions or so she basically made a full recovery the same way I did. Hopefully you will find similar success.

Until today I thought hdv was the site admin. The administration of the site is very opaque.

Ditto on volunteering for janny position. Also have mod experience. Here forever. Don't really wanna do it but if the alternative is this website going completely unmoderated or losing a whack of users from a vpn ban I'll shoulder the burden.

am I on a vpn?

I don't come here often enough to see any naughty spam.
is it hot at least?

>>97479
Not unless you're into 4 year olds.

>>97476
I will put a quiz that only 4chonners would be able to answer correctly as a 24-hour VPN IP bypass.

>>97477
We don't know what it is yet (fracture? hip burstitis?) but will consider that, she'd likely to have to wait many months for surgery anyway if it's needed so may as well try that assuming there's no sign of recovery in the coming weeks, if it's not a bone issue maybe they'll just inject a steroid if it will reduce the pain, cost isn't an issue since she has insurance as she still works at 70.

>>97479
Your VPN is on the list yes.

>>97477
>Both myself and my mother would likely have ended up on a lifetime of pain medications without the 5 or so chiropractic adjustments we'd had
I typed out a lengthy account of why chiropractic therapy is not beneficial in every case, but said fuck it and tried to condense it all. My grandma was my favorite person and her replacement young doctor (too disgusted by old bodies to properly evaluate them from the sounds of it, even though she had a frame like a tiny Japanese granny) recommended chiropractic treatment which destroyed her spine and she ended up spending her last month of life on heavy doses of morphine in a hospital bed dying to a sudden spread of cancer directly due to the chiropractic work recommended by her "doctor". Not the chiropractor's fault, obviously. He was just following a prescription.

Maybe it could help his family, but you never know.

>>97481
>I will put a quiz that only 4chonners would be able to answer correctly as a 24-hour VPN IP bypass
A captcha-quiz thing could be nice, but either some asshole disgruntled old user (like ****) or whoever writes the CP spam bot could probably figure out how to automate such a thing eventually too. I don't know what you exactly intend to implement, I suppose. Is the spam really a big problem here yet? I try to stick to small boards like this and, like I said, I saw CP on a more active board remain for much longer in the past few days than I've ever seen it remain up on here.

And if you trust either one or both of us (the Izutsumi poster and I) to help avoid a total traffic death via VPN ban with some level of mod privileges to delete outright illegal content, that avenue is always there. If the problem is a lot worse behind the scenes, I apologize. Just doesn't seem that way given what I witness on other places being hit with the same or very similar styles of spam.

>>97483
It's usually in /new/. Nobody goes there so it can stick around awhile.

>>97485
I check new a lot, too, but don't see a lot of spam there. Not saying illegal stuff has never been posted there. I've seen and reported stuff, hadn't seemed to take long for that board to be cleared when it happened.

Well, I'm gonna sleep now. Not necessarily going to officially check back in as I'm supposed to wake up.

Partial ban on VPNs is now in effect, they can no longer upload files without solving the (relatively easy) quiz for a temporary bypass.
If the quiz ever gets figured out by CP spammer, there will be no temporary bypass for VPN file uploads.

>>97496
testing for science

>>97533
it worked! I don't really remember the first one.
the 2nd one is maybe too easy lol

>>97534
Unfortunately, there was a CP post on new about 5-6 hours later. Hopefully it's not consistent.

>>97540
Is it a butthurt ex-4chonner doing it then? Or at least, someone familiar with the website.

>>97541
I don't think it is. There was the same CP spam posted on ZZZchan around the same time. Interestingly enough, both were posted in existing threads instead of being made their own. Don't know what the hell is going on there. Maybe the developer didn't enable the quiz for the replies' privilege to post images at that point.

>>97540
That IP range was not on this VPN list. I can see which exact IPs have passed that quiz lately. Anyone can just open a data center VPN service in Belize the next day for an affordable price, which was where that latest IP (that wasn't on the blocklist) pointed to, unlike in the first world where you need half a million $ minimum to start a data center (similar to how you can find detatched residential property in Belize for low 5-figures, same kind of bidding, monopolization and regulation dynamics determining pricing), no volunteer-run list will catch every VPN in the world. This guy knows where to find the most obscure VPNs that sprout up now it seems, there's likely a forum or something for that like lowendtalk/lowendbox for servers and VPS's, because he's no longer using basic bitch VPN providers that he was using earlier last year, there was significant pause in between.
>>97541
No. You can read that thread I linked earlier but Soysatsu and his buddies have a better understanding of who it is and what his likely motivations are since they've went through the links he posts (presumably with their own VPNs, wouldn't want to rawdog a potential honeypot), usually redirecting to telegram channels and forums they post on. Actually in that exact thread in sushigirl around Christmas time I saw the CP spammer taunted Soysatsu to show he's bypassed his endpoint thing, which is why I suggested around that time to try banning all VPNs like I did recently. Anyway they won't discuss the details of what they know publicly but you can go on their Discord if you're interested to see what they know, I'm not really interested in going there, nor do I care that much since it wouldn't help anyway. One thing I know is the spammer is likely German-speaking because you might recall a significant portion of the spam together with the shortened redirector URLs was written in German and not just English.

>>97546
>the spammer is likely German-speaking
It was KC tier and it was on the chon

>>97546
I see. I suppose the vpn block wouldn't work then if they have access to ip ranges outside of normal lists.

>Actually in that exact thread in sushigirl around Christmas time I saw the CP spammer taunted Soysatsu to show he's bypassed his endpoint thing
>Anyway they won't discuss the details of what they know publicly

So it's one of seisetsu's tranny irc circlejerk people and this is all just a pissing match between him and some pedophile turboautist. For fuck's sake. Hard to believe that years after we broke away from stee this shit still crops up to haunt us. 4chon really is cursed.

>I'm not really interested in going there, nor do I care that much since it wouldn't help anyway.
No, it wouldn't. I can get ahold of ferus or seisetsu on irc/discord but I'll tell you right now you won't get anything useful out of those mouthbreathers.

>One thing I know is the spammer is likely German-speaking because you might recall a significant portion of the spam together with the shortened redirector URLs was written in German and not just English.
Honestly, I never looked long enough to notice. I just report the post and move on.

You did some good investigation with this. You're to be commended.

Something I brought up with hdv outside of the site a few years ago is the idea of making an account system for the site. 4chon already has the apparatus for that in place to some extent, and some sort of verification before posting would curb a lot of the spam problem (although it would make the site more difficult to access for genuine new users and these 4chon refugees who occasionally show up to make a nostalgia thread).

My idea at the time was that the account wouldn't be linked to any name or post count or anything like that, because I do still believe in the original vision of imageboards being places where people can discuss things unburdened by internet identities and forum hierarchies. I realize that with some users accessing the website via vpn already, they likely don't want to leave a digital fingerprint here so would be opposed to the idea, but you're currently arguing in favor of banning their ability to post entirely so it seems like a lesser compromise. It is also nontraditional to go down this road so there'd be some flak from purists.

Or you could just make some janitors to clean up the cp spam, which is the usual way imageboards deal with this.

bug fixes changelog for mods:
erroneous duplicate reports displaying in reports page should be fixed
mod post controls on mobile shouldn't overflow off screen anymore

>>97554
>you're currently arguing in favor of banning their ability to post entirely
No just banning file uploads as the worst case scenario, decided against a total ban for known VPNs since there's nothing to gain from that, and that's only if the CP spammer passed the quiz and posted with a bypassed IP. That hasn't happened yet, we'll see.
>Or you could just make some janitors to clean up the cp spam, which is the usual way imageboards deal with this.
This is the only realistic solution for HDV if it starts to become unmanageable in the future.

>>97554
>So it's one of seisetsu's tranny irc circlejerk people and this is all just a pissing match between him and some pedophile turboautist
I honestly don't think it's that personal. This very same asshole has been indiscriminately spamming most smaller boards for at least several years.

Just saw the spammer made rounds elsewhere a few minutes ago, so maybe your method is working.

>>96744
will any action be taken against the indian ai slop that has been posted on here?

cp spammer is back

H'what the fuck?

1. install firefox
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta
2. menu button > Add-ons
3. Tap the + button next to uBlock Origin

now you have a web browser that blocks ads
use your current browser just for your survey stuff

and disable firefox's accessibility services so the browser doesn't slow down randomly, stupid bug mozilla refuses to fix:
1. type about:config in the address bar
2. type in accessibility.force_disabled and set it to 1 instead of 0

>>97903
>>97904
That's what you get for being a cumbrain.

Seen the spammer spam other boards twice since it got through here earlier, think around 2 hours ago and past 15 minutes.

You should add Rakka and Reki from Haibane Renmei as flags. Same creator as Lain. Really good anime. If you never add them because you hate me, I only feel bad for you. I also understand that you're stressed, so not pressuring you.

my bad should've tested posting before leaving after making a seemingly minor code change

Posting seems to have been working fine.

Judaic anime.

>>98095
don't spoil it for me

>>98095
Don't see what makes you feel that way besides the characters being designed to look like angels. I'd like to see your argument so long as you spoiler it out of consideration for anyone who may watch it someday.

Doesn't seem like a pressing issue, but something involving thread deletion and catalog view might be broken? There was a thread on new with some AI slop including a QR code and body text reading "Seriously" that was deleted earlier. However, it was still showing up in catalog view (the OP image was broken and clicking on the thread returned a 404 page). I posted and deleted a thread to test just now to see what would happen. It no longer shows the previous thread, but now shows my thread in its place, so I don't think it is something that can be abused. Not sure how it appears from the backend, so felt like pointing it out.

>>98098
Jews are very bad, and angels are also bad.

cuz tinyboard/vichan is a badly written clusterfuck

https://github.com/vichan-devel/vichan/blob/master/templates/themes/catalog/theme.php#L43
https://github.com/savetheinternet/Tinyboard/blob/master/templates/themes/catalog/theme.php#L23

} elseif ($action == 'post-thread' || ($settings['update_on_posts'] && $action == 'post') || ($settings['update_on_posts'] && $action == 'post-delete') && in_array($board, $boards)) {

in other words it is evaluated as:

($action == 'post-thread') || 
($settings['update_on_posts'] && $action == 'post') || 
(($settings['update_on_posts'] && $action == 'post-delete') && in_array($board, $boards))

removing that last in_array condition fixes it because the way the parentheses are grouped it's effectively only tied to work with the condition $action == 'post-delete' being true, and we've seen the catalog doesn't update when it's a post delete action.

i refactored it to:

} elseif ($action == 'post-thread' || ($settings['update_on_posts'] && ($action == 'post' || $action == 'post-delete'))) {

no clue why the in_array call was written there, it always evaluates to false, is it to limit updating it to one board's catalog instead of every board? who knows

>>98101
>Jews are very bad
I wholeheartedly agree.
>angels are also bad
I disagree, at least insofar as what the European and subsequently Japanese idea of cute angels ends up being for the purpose of this show.

>>98103
>no clue why the in_array call was written there
You answered yourself here probably:
>cuz tinyboard/vichan is a badly written clusterfuck
But I really wouldn't know. I did some html for a college thing like 20ish years ago and did a wee bit more stuff in very amateur, casual settings since, so my brain is absolutely shitty mush to bounce off for this kind of stuff. Sorry. Your stuff looks more concise than what was previously written, but I can't say I know for sure that it fulfills all functions of the first line.
