PRO TIP FOR MAXIMUM FUN:

<h2>GLOBAL RULES</h2> <h2>
GLOBAL RULES
</h2><br>
The rules for users are defined in our <a href="/static/manifesto.pdf#page=3">/leftypol/ Manifesto</a>. Below is a summary of the rules.
<ol start="0"> <ol start="0">
<li>Do not post in or view any boards if you are under 18 years of age.</li> <li>Anyone posting child pornography will immediately face a permanent ban and their IP will be logged and recorded to
<li>If you break the rules we will delete your post. Do it repeatedly and you'll be derezzed.</li> be handed over to the authorities (if this is ever required).<br>Content which ‘doxxes’ another user
<li>Do not call for mods, or announce reports in a thread.</li> or person will also be removed.<br>Other content which promotes or endorses illegal activity may be
<li>Always argue in good faith and avoid using personal attacks.</li> removed at the discretion of the moderators.</li><br>
<li>You should always elaborate on your opinions rather than just spilling the soykaf.</li> <li>No spam. Spam from a bot is subject to a permanent ban or more severe actions
<li>Don't respond with aggression to perceived flames or trolls (or at all.)</li> to preserve site security. Spam from a user may also be subject to a ban.</li><br>
<li>Do not whine and cry about 8chan, lainchan.jp, "quality", "invasions", "newfags", mods, bans, or kalyx outside of /q/.</li> <li>Pornography should not be posted on /leftypol/ or /meta/ without good reason. In addition,
<li>Do not spam or advertise unrelated content.</li> images which are excessively offensive to the eye or to civilised sensibilities may be removed
<li>Do not post child pornography or questionable 2D/3DCG/3DPG sexual depictions of children. This includes "child models".</li> without warning (for example, gore, shock images) and punished with moderator action.</li><br>
<li>If you must post it, spoiler any NSFW content and make sure it's relevant to the discussion.</li> <li>Posts should, overall, be conducive to an informed and productive discussion. /leftypol/ is not an
<li>Do not upload malicious archives.</li> academic journal, but it also should not be a cesspit of back and forth bickering and pointless
<li>Read the rules again. At least 3 times. </li> insults. Users should attempt to argue for the point they are presenting in an honest and open
</ol> way and should be receptive to information or arguments that do, in fact, challenge their views.
</div> Reactionism and liberalism, or any other kind of non-leftist positions are not banned per se, as
we will endeavour to allow and encourage people of other political philosophies to explore
leftism through /leftypol/ so long as they follow the rules contained herein. However, non-leftist
users are ultimately to be considered ‘guests’ and thus will be removed if they prove a nuisance
or disrupt the normal functioning of the site.</li><br>
<li>In addition, /leftypol/ is committed to the ideal of left unity, or at least that the left should have
an avenue for open discussion, so all ‘mainstream’ leftist ideologies will be permitted (so long as
they do not violate the conditions set out in <a href="/static/manifesto.pdf#page=1">Article 1)</a>. /leftypol/ does not adhere to a specific
leftist ideology.</li><br>
<li>To ensure a basic level of quality, topics or posts will not be tolerated when contributions are not
conductive to well-intentioned discussion. Therefore, posts or topics are likely to be removed at
the discretion of moderation staff if they;
<ol>
<li>argue under false pretences ("false flagging")<br>
&emsp;e.g. "Hey fellow commies, did you prep your wife's bull today?"</li>
<li>imply reactionary or false positions of the userbase as a form of group shaming<br>
&emsp;e.g. "Why do you guys all hate trans people?"</li>
<li>are of an overly derisive and mocking nature<br>
&emsp;e.g. "haha, btfo commies hitler rulez"</li>
<li>are of a gratuitously offensive or hysterical nature<br>
&emsp;e.g. "I hate fucking Mudslimes, we need to hang them all before they rape our children"</li>
<li>are debating inherently reactionary topics where no reasonable debate is possible<br>
&emsp;e.g. "In what way should be exterminate the lesser races, guys?"</li>
<li>are low effort sectarian bait rather than good faith discussion<br>
&emsp;e.g. “Tankie/Anarkiddie hate thread” or “Why does this theorist suck so much?”</li>
<li>are likely to create pointless and unconstructive arguments about ‘idpol’ (as defined in
<a href="/static/manifesto.pdf#page=1">Article 1)</a><br>
&emsp;e.g. “Why can’t I have women as sex slaves?” or “Why are whiteoids like this?”</li>
</ol><br>
These examples are low quality posts that are considered, at best, bait, but are better described as
spam. Any poster that violates this rule may be subject to a ban, and any post that violates this is
subject to deletion, subject to the discretion of moderators, if they feel that the topic may be an
avenue for productive discussion.</li><br>
<li>Volunteers may remove other posts according to their own discretion which they feel do not
contribute to the stated mission of /leftypol/, but they should try to adhere to the standards of the
community and of their fellow moderators, and to refrain from arbitrary decisions. Where there is
disagreement among moderators, the matter will be decided by informal consensus of currently
active moderators. If there is still disagreement, the matter should be escalated to a formal vote.</li>
</ol><br>
<div class="ban" id="tips"> Once a ban is issued, it should be followed by the user and not contravened. The evasion of bans

How does post formatting work ? What is the purpose of leftypol.org ?
</h2> </h2>
<p> It is standard vichan post formatting. </p> <p>The mission of /leftypol/ at leftypol.org is to provide a fun and enjoyable space for the working

<p>lisp</p> <p>An important part of /leftypol/’s unique character is our opposition to identity politics. We

<p>Valid languages are listed <a href="http://highlightjs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/css-classes-reference.html#language-names-and-aliases">here</a>.</p> fundamental part of leftism.</p>
<h2 id="5"> <p>More broadly, leftism is defined as; “A broad set of ideological
What is the purpose of Lainchan ? forces which are dedicated to, by one form or another, dismantling the current material way of
</h2> things in capitalism and building a new egalitarian system to replace it.” If a point of view or
<p> ideology claims to represent socialism or communism, yet is so divisive and anti-egalitarian that
it fails to offer a reasonable alternative to the current order, it may be considered as non-leftist.</p>
Like all questions the answer depends on who you ask.

<p> <h2 id="5">
My answer: I don't like the colors. Where can I change my options ?
First what lainchan.org is: </h2>
lainchan.org is a domain name, the host that domain name points to hosts an imageboard called lainchan based on vichan, it hosts a Mumble server, it hosts an audio stream. <p>If you are using a normal browser, there should be an [Options] button in the top right corner when viewing a board. The bottom right of the popup is for choosing themes. <span class="spoiler">Try Jungle.</span></p>
The purpose of lainchan.org the domain name is so you don't have to type an IP address to access the services hosted on the previously mentioned host. <h2 id="6">
The purpose of lainchan.org is to be a place / community where people can interact online. How does post formatting work ?
</p> </h2>
<p> <p> It is standard vichan post formatting. </p>
What makes lainchan.org community different from all the other places / communities where people can interact online ? <p> &gt;text makes it a greentext quote: <span class="quote">&gt;text</span></p>
This is another good question, and one you haven't asked yet, but I will try to answer anyhow. <p> &lt;text makes it an orangetext response: <span class="orangeQuote">&lt;text</span></p>
Our main distinguishing factors are related to our appreciation of Lain and Serial Experiments Lain. <p> ''text'' makes it italic: <i>text</i></p>
The series is influenced by themes such as reality, identity, and communication, and it demonstrates them by using philosophy, computer history, cyberpunk literature, and conspiracy theory. (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Experiments_Lain) <p> '''text''' makes it bold: <b>text</b></p>
<p> <p> __text__ makes it underline: <span class="underline">text</span></p>
Most of the boards on the image board reflect aspects or influences of the series. <p> ~~text~~ makes it strikethrough: <span class="strikethrough">text</span></p>
Because the series is influenced by cyberpunk literature, it very easy to label the lainchan.org community as just a cyberpunk image board, but I believe that label is incomplete at best and a restriction at worst. <p> ==text== makes it a heading: <span class="heading">text</span></p>
My answer isn't the only answer, and I happy to see others posting their answer to the same question. <p> **text** makes it spoiler: <span class="spoiler">text</span></p>
My question to you which you don't need to answer here. <p> [code]text[/code] makes it code: <pre class="code lang-">text</pre></p>
The lainchan community is to you what you want it to be. What do you want it to be ?</p> <p> To specify language for the syntax highlighting. Use something like the example below</p>
<h2 id="6"> <p>[code]</p>
Why are my posts being changed / language enhanced ? <p>lisp</p>
</h2> <p>(defun foo ()</p>
<p> Lainchan has a language enhancer. It makes your posts more interesting and less like soykaf. </p> <p>&ensp;&ensp;(if (mapcar (lambda (x) (format t "~a " x)) '(is this not infuriating?)) </p>

</h2> <p>[/code]</p>
<p>Lainons are Lainons, being the same would be boring. Different lainons have different backgrounds and skillsets.

<h2 id="8"> <h2 id="7">
When I post without a name, I get given a random name ? Why are my posts being changed / word-filtered ?
</h2> </h2>
<p> Lainchan has random anonymous names generated, when no name is provided. </p> <p> leftypol has a language enhancer. It's mostly just there to mess with bad-faith posters. /pol/ users often get surprisingly triggered when you don't let them say their favorite slurs...</p>
<h2 id="9"> <h2 id="8">
Where did /insertboardnamehere/ board go ? Where is /cyb/ ? I don't like the mobile site. Do you have a mobile app ?
</h2> </h2>
<p> The server was wiped and all the boards were deleted. Boards are still being restored, the work to recover stuff from backups is ongoing. </p> <p> We do. There's a thread <a href="/tech/res/4951.html">for it here</a>.</p>
<h2 id="10"> <h2 id="9">
I want to request merchandise How can I suggest or submit fixes to the site ?
</h2> </h2>
<p>See the merchandism thread in /q/ or if there is no such thread, then make a thread in /q/ </p> <p>There is a /meta/ thread for this, and our <a href="https://github.com/towards-a-new-leftypol/leftypol_lainchan/">GitHub repo</a>.</p>
<h2 id="11"> <h2 id="10">
Where did my post go ? I don't trust Tor exit nodes. Do you have an .onion site ?
</h2> </h2>
<p>Either you never posted it, or it felt off the board due to old age, or it was deleted by you or by Lainchan staff as a moderation action, typically for breaking the rules. </p> <p>Yes, <a href="http://wz6bnwwtwckltvkvji6vvgmjrfspr3lstz66rusvtczhsgvwdcixgbyd.onion/">here it is</a>.</p>
<h2 id="12"> <h2 id="11">
Lainchan is lame. insertnamechan is better. How do I search for things ?
</h2> </h2>
<p>Either submit your constructive criticism in a /q/ thread, or go back to your favourite chan of choice. </p> <p> Visit the search page <a href="/search.php">here</a> </p>

<h2 id="15"> <h2 id="14">
What is the procedure for suggesting a new board ? What are the supported file types?
</h2> </h2>
<p>Either make a new post on /q/ or post in the existing stickied suggestions thread on /q/. You should suggest a particular board and stating why you want such a board and its intended purpose, a metric for post quality , a metric for post relevancy and why you think it would be a good board to have in general. </p><p>You should also be posting the sorts of threads you would post in such a new board on /r/, as a way to determine whether the topics covered by your board suggestion are demanded or at least appreciated by the larger community. If the posts in the type of board you suggest don't meet the posting requirements for /r/, then of course it is more appropriate to find another way of demonstrating demand for such a board. </p> <ul>
