Ask the mods anything

Could you please stop the ip-based blocking of features (uploading/editing/linking) for logged-in, ‘trusted’ ie. old accounts?  
What’s even the point of ip-based blocking if you can have full access to the site with TOR anyway?
 
Also please let me increase the session timeout.

Nah.
 
Your average shitposting ban evader is going to have a few accounts in reserve; we’ve had several with over a hundred accounts created comfortably before going on their annoying shitpost spree of the day.
 
If your VPN IP has been abused and is banned, you can get on IRC or send a mail asking for an account whitelist.

What type of popcorn do you like?

@ice1517  
Salt with butter.

@Mike  
No cheese? Wouldn’t expect less from a Twily fan.

@SnozzleFozzle  
fuck you on about brah? >:0

@The Smiling Pony  
You could just make the account ‘quality’- standards pretty high eg. 100+ approved uploads and at least 1/2 a year old for being excluded from ip banning.
 
Also why doesn’t the average spam-/shitposter just use your onion site? I didn’t see any restrictions imposed by it last time I’ve was using it.
 
My VPN or rather my https-proxy service is using dynamic address rotation so unblocking one IP wouldn’t be much help.
 
Maybe you should also consider reducing the ban duration of a 1000 years to something more sensible, because consumer ISPs usually don’t give out static IPs, but rather rotate them among their customers, so an IP-ban period of 24h to 48h would be more than sufficient and would reduce false-positive bans among regular users.

@SnozzleFozzle  
I like cheese on popcorn. I just prefer butter and salt.

@ice1517  
||Tis a joke of how Twilight dislikes cheesy things.

@The Smiling Pony  
oh sorry didn’t quite comprehend your last sentence the first time reading it.  
Thanks for the tip, I’ll ask for my account to be whitelisted.

How can I get involved with the site’s development is there a code repository/bug-tracker somewhere?

Who are the mods/Adkins who usually give out badges? (like the duck badge for example)

Do mods feel pain?

@ice1517  
Well there’s always the ducks.

@ice1517  
Do mods feel anything but pain?

@PaskaNaakka  
Nope~

@ice1517  
@PaskaNaakka
 
Of course.

@Binkyt11  
There really isn’t a designated badge giver. Nittany Discord usually gives them but lately I’ve been doing that. Ducks are decided upon multiple mods.

Would you rather 1 adult sized child or 5 child sized adults?

@SquiggyBomb
 
The child-sized adults.

why is the trees full of howler monkees?

@Joey  

 
WOAH, Joey, you kinky bastard!

@Joey  
ff…  
I need to go to one of those, it seems.
