Tripcodes are a way to identify yourself between posts without having to register with the site. To use a tripcode, enter your name as ‹name›#‹key›.You can choose anything you want as the key—it is private and will never be shown to other posters or stored on the server. For example:

Rarity#bestpony → Rarity!.4PK7yxdII

If you want a tripcode containing specific words, you can download a program designed to search for tripcodes, such as Tripcode Explorer.

Email?

Entering an e-mail is optional.

There are also code words you can enter here which perform certain actions when you submit your post.

  • sage — lets you post without bumping a thread.
  • nonoko — uses the original post behavior to redirect to the board index.

These can be used at the same time as an e-mail address by typing ‹email›#‹action›.

You can also use Skype names in place of an e-mail. The notation is the same as a link to a username on skype itself, which is skype:‹username›

User Poll on Politics ⛵ (ID: 5b0f9e)Country code: us, country type: geoip, valid: 1  81

An idea has been presented, and I'd like to hear what people here think before making any changes. I'm personally indifferent, so feel free to tell me either how stupid this idea is, or how much you like it, as the case may be.

The suggestion was to make a board similar to /townhall/ from ponyville.us, specifically for discussions of a serious nature.

We already have /void/ for political shitposts, and we're phasing politics out of /chat/, so this would be the place for political discussions or any other serious discussions. /disc/ or something equivalent.

There's no specific reason why this board would need to be anonymous-only, but #Anonymous could be enabled thread by thread just as it is on the site right now. (This should be a toggle option on all posts, and is one of the things I've got on my list and will be working on soonish, among many other bug fixes and usability updates.)

Since we already have /void/ for the shitposts, I think we can be a lot stricter with the moderation than they are over on ponyville, just for comparison. The sorts of jabs that are common over on /townhall/, especially from those who share the majority view with the staff there, would ideally not be allowed. As it is, this sort of thing is already allowed on /void/ and is perfectly suited for /void/, so there's just no reason to have it at all on a serious discussion board.

I'm not sure if people would want such a place here.

The major counterpoint is that it hasn't worked well on ponyville so there's no reason to expect it to work better here.

If we were to have such a place, I think our moderation style may be better suited for it.

A second major counterpoint to having such a board is that it already exists on ponyville, so there's no reason for another one here. If this is your position, I would ask you to consider a hypothetical where no similar boards existed anywhere else. Would that change your answer?

Do you think this would be a good addition to the site, or detract from it?
If added, how would you like to see it moderated?
Any other feedback or concerns?

And again, I'm completely indifferent on the concept as a whole. I have ideas on how I would like to see it run if added which I've already alluded to, but otherwise this is all up for debate. Please leave your feedback.

Good idea if nothing else for political containment. Makes it easy to move threads over without having to send them to /void/, which is obviously gonna be a bit more 'shitposty'. Lets us keep 'high effort' threads with sincere discussion without having to have them on the 'main' boards so to speak.
Solid enough idea.

I think we should make porn general threads into /truthandjustice/
