idk if this is the board to post about this (forgive me if its not) but, i think the wiki needs to be updated more often. I enjoy reading it but it annoys me that some of the pages are incomplete/empty. Id do something about it myself if i had been around long enough to have the knowlegde to fill in any extra information :(

I believe this has brought up enough times to have a separate discussion for.
First, a little Heyuri history: >>61043
When kuz was still the admin, our moderation (me) always had to follow a set of written rules for my actions. It's not because he wasn't trusting in my verdicts, but wanted users to have a reference of "not to do"s so they wouldn't end up receiving a warn/ban despite trying to follow rules. So he gave me permission to modify the rules (by this time, I was responsible for almost all moderation actions anyway) as I wanted. I then edited the rules in a way that allowed me to act by "tips" page when I wanted, while modifying it as well.

Since then, kuz resigned and entrusted me with Heyuri. I didn't do any major changes (...I think?) afterwards, but my approach to moderation isn't strictly by written rules.... There is no point in explaining our moderation in depth, now so I will keep it short: I am for modifying the tips page

Starting by the very old "TOP TIPS" part:
I think this part was just put up when kuz was having fun lol, but there are two points I can slightly disagree with:
>OLDER IS BETTER, OLD GIFS, OLD ANIME, OLD IMAGE MACROS, OLD EVERYTHING. USE THEM HERE!
Anyone can understand they are more than welcome to post about old stuff on Heyuri just by lurking a little, but telling it this way may make newcomers mistaken Heyuri for some kind of a retirement house rather than a website for creating tons of new stuff.
>PROTECT YOUR NAME, USE A TRIPCODE!
People can use tripcode if they want to, but trolls who try to impersonate users will probably end up getting banned anyways

The rest of that part is just fun

Moving on to "How to use Heyuri (for dummies)" part:
While one may agree with what's written, the long explanation about what Heyuri is about is redundant and I believe it was put there because Heyuri was constantly called as "oldfag circlejerk" by some groups. Of course, putting that up didn't solve that...
Anyways, coming to "HEYURI-TANS RAZOR V2!", it was originally written by kuz and I later heavily modified it. I believe everything I wrote there is applicable (except 8th point about ２ちゃん perhaps, pirated stuff shouldn't be uploaded there apparently but that's another story)
If you are curious about my reasoning, I explained them at the post I linked to above too.

BUTT!!!

Now I am open to change the page and perhaps move some points to FAQ or elsewhere.
I could either
- Remove the rest of the page, only keep the 8 points, and change Rule 10 to something like "These are all the rules. Now you may want to take a look at some of our tips"
- Remove all the page, merge some of the 8 points (namely 1, 2, and 7) into our FAQ.
- Whatever u guys suggest

It sounds like Rule 8d can easily be abused to censor light hearted and valid banter in order to protect the feelings of an individual rather than being used to develop an environment that provides funny random posts like /b/ is supposed to be. If Heyuri is about replicating the old internet landscape, i dont see how this rule helps nurture that.

>without even having the decency to provide LOLs

'LOLs' are subjective, a mod's sense of humor shouldn't be the barometer that constitutes whether or not something is funny.
This is also specifically about the Rule 8d, all other subsections of Rule 8 are understandable.

Would like to revive discussion on the SAGE! message.
It looks very aggressive

/lounge/ preview makes double posts, kaguya-sama.

is it me or does it feel like the sites quality is going into decline

is there a wishlist of board and stuff to add to heyuri?

It's probably too late to change this now, but I would just like to say I hate that the wiki is using this touch screen-focused software with the floating toolbar following you down the page and hueg navigation boxes and images, I'm tired of seeing these designs and it doesn't suit Heyuri at all.
I don't know why anyone would choose this over the more classic Wikipedia-looking software, also made by MediaWiki, like what http://www.hrwiki.org/ uses

Did Kaguya just do this manually? I was able to archive just fine yesterday.

what is the current ppd on /b/?

Strange World@Heyuri... (;´Д`)

I have a genius idea which cannot possibly fail. We post a picture of heyuri tan on 4chan and simply write the name heyuri in the filename as a sort of cross promotion that avoid's the banhammerz. Absolutely nothing could go wrong!!!

I'm making this thread for those of us who couldn't make it to the townhall but still want to discuss matters. Also becuz BBS > chat

According to teh logs (which you can find in full here: https://www.heyuri.net/_/townhall_6.txt ), the points of discussion were as follows:

1. Kokonotsuba bugs aren't high priority right now because Heyuri is being ported(?) to TinyIB
Townhall response: nobody commented on it but everyone clapped for Barry upon kuz's request

2. Thx 2 POTI-board's main developer for coming to Heyuri to help us and also listening to suggestions for the English translation

3. HeyuriRemix gets pretty much no traffic, what should be done with it?
Townhall response: nobody outside of the staff had even heard of it

4. 2ちゃん (AKA 2ch.cx) has a bug that allows for easy DoS attacks, but Nakura (the owner) has been MIA since November 29th - Barry is investigating the bug and it might be back online in a week, 2 weeks, or maybe tomorrow (the bug is very perplexing)
Townhall response: "yay"

5. Monthly anime = FAIL, maybe anime movie/OVA nights on a Heyuri cytube will work better
Townhall response: they agreed

6. Should kuz's wife be invited to the 6th Annual International Convention of Heyurizens?
Townhall response: opinions are mixed, but mostly yes

7. (skipped)

8.5. Heyuri imageboards used to have INFINITE PAGES™, but is it worth sticking to only having 5 pages if it makes them faster?
Townhall response: "yep"

8.5.ii. Bump limit for threads was recently increased from 3 days to 7, should it be increased/decreased or stay at 7?
Townhall response: townhall liek 7

9. ASCII D1CKZ (skipped)
Townhall response: no comment

10. Tell a Hitler joke
Barry: why wasn't hitler allowed to compete in the olympics?
Barry: he couldn't even finish one race
Townhall response: they LOL'd

11. (404)

12. Nonickname has been lurking #heyuri for years but has never spoken, what's up with that?
Townhall response: opinions range from "he's shy" to "he's an omnipresent being"

13. Heyuri has a bad reputation outside of Heyuri for various reasons. The Heyuri pro-war movement says that we must retaliate and destroy the enemy, while the Heyuri anti-war movement says that this will only create moar drama and we should maek friends instead - what do the masses think of this dilemma? Which will be more effective in improving Heyuri's reputation: war or peace? destruction or construction? haet or loev?
kuz: declares himself pro-war
kaguya: declares himself anti-war
Townhall response: mostly indifferent

13.ii. kuz suggests that most detractors aren't anti-Heyuri, but are instead anti-kuz - a proposed solution to end the war dilemma is kuz stepping down and giving kaguya the Heyuri crown. Do you think this sacrifice would save heyuri? or is it useless?
kuz: goes AFK to maek tea
kaguya: suggests some sites he would like to try befriending and cooperating with
kuz: returns and lays out some of the current problems with promoting Heyuri and says he thinks stepping down is a good idea
Townhall response: some deliberation but doesn't arrive at a concrete conclusion

14. Why don't you visit kolyma IRC?
Townhall response: answers range from "ayashii" to "i'm not talkative"

15. kuz suggests a conclusion on the War VS Peace question: people don't care and just want to post, but we should still befriend neutral sites and cease activities which provoke conflict or turn us into warmongers
Townhall response: "sure"
kaguya: wants to also make peace with hostile sites and clear Heyuri's name

16. What if there was a userboard on 2ちゃん where people could upload banners, like the /banner/ board we used to have?
Townhall response: "ye"
