Posts tagged shitpost
Added an ability for admin users to change owner of the posts and create new posts owned by other users. No longer needed manual database editting or logging in as another user. Also most of non-update and other non-important posts were moved to user "juozas" .
Fixed a bug in a post page resulting in the post content not showing up. It was caused by a bug in the script causing an sql error. So the single post pages now work again.
Added a minimal theme for error page, now http errors will look better when viewed in the browser.
Google please tone down your bot detector. It's too intrusive and annoying. Can't even search for some stuff from the site I own and develop. Thanks.
Proper pagination now working. Currently pages are displayed as 25 posts per page.
Added a database backup script for admin to be able to export database contents more easily. Helpful in case of any failure or during server reinstall/migration/etc.
Added logging to the search form. Everything including anything suspicious and/or spammy will be logged and offenders might be banned and/or reported. So be careful and don't spam using search form.
Added host whitelist to bot trap page. Now visitors from certain hosts such as archive.org and others will not be automatically banned. Others will still be banned so do not try to visit the page unless you want to be perma-banned from this site.
Updated ban management page, added scrollbar colors to stylesheet, cleaned up some of old bans that are no longer needed.
The development of this platform is currently is in a very early stage. The registration is only with invite code since most of functions on this site are incomplete and might not work properly at this time. You can contact me through my personal site or via twitter, just do not send spam as it is not desired.
4chan. Their policy about mass-blocking ip ranges. Total nonsense. Can't post w/o 4chan pass on my vpn. Apparently such ranges are too "abusive" so their justification is just block them w/o trying to actually verify it. And purchasing the pass is the pain in the ass too. A need for cryptocurency provider is just unjust :\
Small bug fixed in single post view. Finally it's a way less of problems to deal with in the world.
User settings page implemented, password can now finally be changed.
Generated invite codes are no longer stored in plain text, each code must be securely stored upon generation.
Anonymous posting can now be easily disabled along the other options, useful when registration is also disabled and/or invite-only.
Registration is now invite-only, invite code generation and verification works fine.
Disabled registration as most of features are not complete yet. Might enable later or set to be invite-only, with the latter feature not yet implemented as of this date.
Soup.io going down soon
It appears soup.io will be closed on 2020-07-20, there's already a huge lag as every1 is trying to save posts & images and there've been a bunch of errors while it tries to load almost any page. Saving old posts has been a very annoying so far I guess.
First spam message logged. At least it din't go through. The captcha feature blocked it :\
When soup.io stops working after a while since purchasing the paid subscription
Fixed editing of text posts. Also tags are now displayed if present. Tag editing feature is not yet implemented at this time.
