I found where that spam full of random garbage is coming from. It doesn't have any discernable pattern so we can't use the autoban addon to remove it, but it's all coming from the same /24 range of IPs in Russia so we can just rangeban it. The problem is that Lynxchan currently only does /16 rangebans, which would result in substantial collateral damage. To counter this I'm enabling the block bypass function.

If you are rangebanned, you can use the block bypass function to solve a CAPTCHA and bypass the rangeban. This requires your browser to store a "bypass" cookie. No CAPTCHA will be required to post if your IP has not been subject to a rangeban. Block bypasses last for 24 hours or 50 posts.

I've already asked StephenLynx about adding a second, smaller rangeban level.

EDIT: This is now the /pol/ containment thread

Hi dear site owners,

We have a problem with /pol/. One of our newly appointed mods is apparently the "nigger spammer" who is using Tor to bump old threads. I am suspecting the BO and the mod to be either one and the same person using different VPN mod accounts or BO has hi-jacked the board to crash it by employing his friends or family members.

Right now i was banned for exposing the new mod to be the spammer himself in the board own meta thread. As you may understand /pol/ is a NS board which is targeted by so many groups of people.
While the new mod is creating dozens of "honey pot" threads old popular threads were slid and /pol/ is dying.
The board is dying and I don't know what we suppose to do.
Some posts and threads are deleted, I myself was banned in the meta thread. The mods are creating a chaos and they they use it to ban random people and lock and delete unwanted threads.


The BO himself has developed the tactic to let the mods do the job for him so he keeps his clean image. Once a mod has messed up the board far enough he simply replaces him (likely with the same guy by deleting the old mod account and creating a new one. Ocolette is owning the board for approximately 5 months now and it has become same bs as 8/pol/ were people are getting banned unfairly and for ridiculous reasons.

I have taken screenshots and archived all evidence. I'm ready to upload it if required.
People are now leaving /pol/ in big numbers and I ask you to help to save the board from Ocolette and his moderation.

What file types do we don't support that you would like us to add?

Making an official thread to keep on top of this better. Most of these are relatively easy to add.

I'm not quite sure why LynxChan has a filter on these. It maybe easy to start a list of what we don't want.

>Issue 1
Having some trouble with linebreaks spreading out. Seems to do it sometimes but not others, not sure why. Wouldn't be surprised if this post does it as well.
>>>/cumg/36 >>>/cumg/37

>Issue 2
Code tags seem to escape into greentext when $ is used.
>>>/cumg/16 >>>/cumg/15 >>>/cumg/19

>Issue 3
The captcha button has no reload button in the reply pop-up. It doesn't always reload automatically, in turn causing the user the need to refresh the page.
>During the refresh, they may lose their text, however it seems to stay but the file they had attached gets unattached.

>Suggestion 1
Consider wrapping the site with IPFS for archival/resiliency.
https://ipfs.io/

>Suggestion 2
Consider adding support to KurobaEx. The current most popular FOSS image-board app on Android. A fork of Kuroba.
https://github.com/K1rakishou/Kuroba-Experimental/
I know this isn't exactly an Endchan thing, however it would be beneficial to Endchan end users and allowing more people to use it easily on mobile.
