An Ignore topic preferences option
Well you just have to ignore them yourself. Don't really see a point in the forum doing it for you Once you post in a thread it will pop up in the " Show new replies to your posts" and it is normal. Refrain from posting in Covid-19 threads and just ignore them  ) |

Fair point. I just think there is a bit of a mental barrier for relatively new users to start reporting. At least, there was for me when I started. Being new to the forum at the time, reporting posts of members more senior than me felt strange, almost like I hadn't earned the right to pass judgement on them. I was also very unsure to begin with what I should be writing in the comment boxes, or just how much a post had to break the rules to be considered for deletion, that sort of thing. Some guidance of "Suggested reports" might encourage more users to start reporting, rather than just skipping over spammy or other rule breaking posts.
That is a normal behavior and one that most users went through and many more are going to go through. You might want to lower you expectations regarding new users because ... their new ) First they need to understand the environment, see and understand a normal thread flow, get some info about the subject, learn the rules of the forum and then start reporting (if you feel the post is out of order) Over 90% of the reports are done by users Member or above. And I personally find it normal. A little encouragement or guidance would definitely help but would not rush anyone ... Many users don't know that some posts are spammy or against the rules. Not knowing can be fixed, ignorance cannot. But that's for another topic... |

I actually think it's a good thing that there isn't a "one-click report" feature built in to the forum. It is extremely easy to mess up and fire off a bunch of inappropriate reports, so forcing people who want to use it to both have to spend some time setting it up, as well as have a basic knowledge of coding, prevents spammers and scammers flooding the report queue with nonsense.
IMO that is spot on. Anything too easy could be abused. Soon after we might see temp bans for "report spam" Would a system which providers reporters with "Suggested comments" or a checkbox for the most common reasons not be fairly useful then, as it would serve to standardize a lot of reports...
Not too sure about the checkbox and standardization. Also need to think about different languages as well. Since being a patroller I learned how to write "spam" in 4-5 languages so far )) This is an idea I liked: Maybe the button can be 'semi-disabled', ie it gives you a prompt like you have already reported this, are you sure you want to report it again?.

The spread is getting real ! I propose to quarantine this forum! In the next 14 days you need to remain ONLY on bitcointalk.org to stop the spread. You are allowed to step outside forum grounds only for basic necessities like pornhub, wikipedia and netflix ! Treat this with the utmost seriousness ! don't quote and sniff.
whoops... |

It actually is surprising how few things they changed from the stock version of the template Really hope it's just a scam and not malware  , but we'll see more when/if they announce source code I guess... |

Spanish office (the building looks very weird ... searched the address on google maps) and website in EN & RU ... nothing weird here |

I've been looking forward to have us all a fresh start.
I know what you mean but might be a lot of IFs there. Nuked accounts with left feedback (good or bad) and also lots of newbie accounts with 1 post. What to do with them ? IMO I would keep them all, even proxy banned... They are a metric in the life of this forum and would be a pity to erase them all together. At least in my opinion ... A metric that can be easily accessed on Epochtalk by API |

From what I know debug.log is a Windows/Google file (either created by OS or Google apps, like Chrome) where ... as the name suggests... errors are logged. This is client side anyway, meaning on your PC
Did you click on a weird link from a post and got an error? Did you open a PDF or something with Chrome?
As the guys before said, need more details

Thank you for this walktrough, it really helped me out...
Very glad to hear that and even more so that it is being used/ tested/ installed out of curiosity by more users True... was not very specific regarding nginx, ssl etc. I assumed the terminal would scare off most " newbies". Might be wrong tho. Thanks for having a look and testing it a bit. Hope more will follow |

Select-copy-paste is a major hassle on mobile.
Fair point ! We'll have a talk with the guys and see what can be done. like e.g. inability to quote posts from locked threads in SMF
Almost forgot about that. For the moment on Epochtalk it's the same issue. Maybe we can add a button "Copy quote" so you copy quote to clipboard and can paste it easily in another post. Thing is to know from the start what would the exact behavior be, and then start building. Would the "copy quote" idea work ? Any other iteration in mind ? |

I'd say just automatically start a new conversation from that point forward. If someone got removed they won't see the new conversation but can still see the old one. If someone got added they see only the new conversation. This would work exactly the same as if I copy-pasted the quote in a new conversation manually.
I understand you point but let's analyze this a bit. Supposing the quote feature is added already... Epochtalk - You have the current conversation with A, B, C and D. Quote last message and copy it
- Click on "New Message"
- Add recipients, so A, B, C, E, F (without D)
- Paste last message quote and add new message
vs SMF - Click on "quote"
- Remove unwanted recipients and add new ones
- Write new info
So overall you have 1 click and Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V more to do. This is why I consider this particular feature to be lower on the to-do list and worth asking more users if they actually find it net better/more convenient before writing code in that direction. There are plenty to do ) Trying to prioritize dev's focus... Don't get me wrong, your feedback is highly appreciated and keeping a very close eye on your input. It's just that this exact feature would require a bit of elbow grease (to say the least) tho it works well (IMHO) with existing/future (quote) possibilities. Thanks again !  |

Thanks dude, really means a lot ! Epochtalk as a forum is ok and close to be a viable option. For bitcointalk there are still lots to do. But as long as I feel that things are moving in the correct direction I'm glad to help! Nice thoughts but no need for prizes. Like the bear from "The Revenant" 
Edit: Technically it would work but it's a hassle compared to how Bitcointalk/SMF works - hit reply or quote, modify the recipient list any way you want, send. There is no reason the new forum can't be at least as convenient instead of forcing me to copy-paste the quote in a new conversation, then re-enter (some of) the recipients. It should just allow me to edit the recipient list and it can create a new conversation automatically if the recipient list has changed.
Forward and BCC seem necessary. Add/remove users from conversation is a more complex feature. Do you let user to see past conversation? and lots of other questions, permissions, code, etc. Will keep this in mind but for the moment I would "label" it as quality of life and we'll see when we get there. Thanks a lot for your continuous input |

More PM weirdness:
I'm not done yet LOL Glad to hear that - Can't forward a PM.
- Can't add other users to an existing conversation.
- Can't choose to reply to one or more recipients in a multi-user conversation (I'm guessing it always works as "reply to all").
- A behavior I see is adding quote in messages. And just quote and copy in new message to new recipient. Would that work ?
- I can see the use cases. So basically add/remove users from conversations. What would be the difference between this and start a new discussion with who you want ?
- Again, quote and make a new discussion...
I know quote PM is not available yet but think it might solve these problems This is how I see it at least. Would it be ok if for these 3 things you need to make more actions than now ? Trying to see how this would be integrated in the message-discussion scheme of things. Any thoughts ? |

...there was no violation in fact! so why all this talk?
Plagiarism is a violation. 33. Posting plagiarized content is not allowed.*
* This includes both copying parts or the entirety of other users' posts or threads and copying content from external sources (e.g. other websites) and passing it as your own.
And lots of accounts were banned for this... |

If a topic gets deleted, modlog still shows a link to a non-existent topic. Can the same feature be added for deleted posts?
IIRC when individual posts are deleted the post ID changes. That's pretty much the reason it's not displaying post ID... because it becomes invalid. When an entire topic is trashed IDs remain the same (more or less) |

Right now it's impossible for the user to figure out which notifications work and which don't.
Fair point ! I guess if mentions are added on edit they should not be decorated, and be just plain text... |

This has nothing to do with quotes. If I make a post and want to @ someone 3 seconds later I should be able to do so by editing the post and adding the @username (without creating a new post).
@ in quotes should not trigger an alert whether it's a new or edited post.
Sorry, must have misunderstood...  don't know why I was thinking about quotes. I also raised the issue and this was the reply from Slickage: This is an intended behaviour. In reduce spamming, we prevent notifications from happening on edit. Otherwise, all mentioned users will receive a notification any time the post is edited.
This is consistent with most services that use notifications. https://github.com/epochtalk/epochtalk/issues/646#issuecomment-535733591 |

If we're using the latest, I'll try a screencast to capture the behavior.
If it's the same version then the only possible difference would be that we have an Amazon AWS bucket for images while, I assume, you guys are keeping them local. But don't see how that would make a difference in this particular case. If you have some more info would be appreciated Ya, me too... I was upset the first time, really unhappy the 2nd time I did it after re-typing the same long message. I gave up and went to a summarized message after that. lol
LOL ! You really found out the hard way  -Mentions do not notify a user in an edited post (if you edit in a @username to an existing post)
That is the intended behavior. Would you like to be spammed every time someone quotes the post you were mentioned in ? |

Added the replies in green I just gonna leave this here, and ill check again tomorrow if those things are already fixed. Great, How can we get access to the modlog and the seclog? I tried to find it but without success til now. Modlog is ... just for mods for the moment and need a few more features for seclog to be createdI'll use this thread to write my review on Epochtalk later.
My overview > Updated 03.03.
Bugs/issues1. Notifications for mentions are triggered after a certain amount of time. That is OK . They are pretty instant now2. After Marking the notifications " all read" there is still pending old notification. works now3. Toolbar menus for posting are missing . I guess it's intended. no buttons, shortcuts and smileys yet I'm afraid. But are on the to do list4. Trust feedback cannot be changed or removed after posting it. I guess there is some cool down time, but should be mentioned somewhere on the page. the possibility to delete feedback will be added5. Seems like the view count is not working . should be working now6. There are no "post drafts" after a preview of a post. definitely a necessary feature and needs to be added 7. Self-moderated thread is actually not a self moderated. You cannot delete posts. Actually you can hide them but the user can unhide them so it is useless. EDITED: there is the option to hide and lock, so user cannot unhide it or edit it. 8 . Some symbols are not displayed at all like asterisk. If you have it in the signature, it disappears. nice catch! so far hyphens and asterix. do you have any more examples ?9. No post count option. in profile post history ?10. cannot delete posts in self-moderated threads, can only hide them - i guess it's intentional. see 711. No ranks yet. mo merit yet...12. No restriction in posting and searching, maybe due to no ranking system yet. yup 13. I cannot move topics in different sections move threads in workingSide note: I guess big part of those issues can be corrected/activated from the admin panel. I have no access to confirm that.
What caught my attention /no issues/ :Activity stops at 14. I guess the algorithm is working. does not take potential activity into account. told them about it and will be revised What I like : 1. You can choose to report user or post, I like it 2. Easy to add users to the trust list, separate buttons to trust and untrust lists, cool. 3. Nice mobile version Thanks a lot dude  Need to make a list and prioritize them in a way |
