If people can't see what the moderators are up to, they will happily participate until their first attempt to have a little fun and when their message is deleted without warning, explanation, or accountability, they will realize they are just another shrub to be pruned in your efforts to maintain an empty garden.

The post calling this a "gay censorship forum" made a good point. I liked it.

You do not need to post shit one line threads consisting of nothing but things such as "fucking n11gers."
I will remove these threads. They are low quality and do not create quality discussion.

Shitposters will leave without modlogs (a good outcome).

Non-shitposters who value quality will not be moderated, and will stay.

Non-shitposters who value quality but have an occasional funpost removed may be big mad for a minute, but will return because quality is kept.

Mods must act with immunity, and modlogs add a teverage point to cling onto to cause drama. The sort of loser who posts shit and has shitfits about having accountability for authority are the sort which need to be discouraged from returning here. This place should be run like a BDFL project. Democracies and accountability in governance is only for states; this is a private club, kid.

Excellent post that really addressed both the points brought up in the OP and this site's efforts to attract "new blood".

Just kidding, you contributed nothing to the conversation we didn't know already. I'm pointing out that when you are able to do this pruning in a completely opaque way it absolutely headshots the momentum you're trying to build on this site.

You don't understand that someone can write a 1000 word essay that changes the course of the site, and then write "lol nah nigga" 5 minutes later and when you delete that post without so much as a modlog line saying "i don't like your shitpost", that's the reason you won't get that gold anymore.

You lack the ability to see things from the perspective of your average user. You won't last like this. Sad to see.

I also agree with the poster calling you brown.

Or if you try hard enough you can build a small army of brainwashed retards who will stroke the ego you are masturbating and encourage your actions in a way not dissimilar to any other cult of persanality.

You and your pals are creating garbage threads and are getting frustrated when I delete those garbage threads. There is no reason for you to post threads like "im a goomba nigger".

There is no way you can justify doing this. I will delete these threads. If you believe this is unfair, fuck off to another website.

>>52154
>fuck off to another website

might as well. i mean at least reddit has more functionality if i ever want to post somewhere that cucks you. I dont need moderated. you can go fuck yourself faggot.

>>52152
Nigger,

1. I am a user (the /g/ Qubeschad to be specific), not the webmaster.
2. I have seen how drama queens like you will leverage a modlog to sew discord against a good moderator cleaning your shit off the site.
3. I presume good moderation here, a 1,000 effortpost should practically never be moderated. The fact that you construct this impossible strawman (if moderation is trying to be 'good') and blugeoning mods with it is demonstrating to me that you're not sincere.

FOSS projects which had this open/flat governance model instead of BDFL got taken over by the CoC troons and destroyed, because those fuckers (and (You)) are experts at using those leverage points to sew discord.

When you misbehave, you should be shown the door quietly and without reason so that you can't game your way back in or game your revenge.

I will stay so long as shitty little spiritual zoomzooms like you get BTFO rather than pandered to.

Faggot.

>>52154
Are you so retarded you can't even realize that no one is saying not to delete those threads? Are you really that fucking stupid? I even pointed out that you completely avoided the actual topic of discussion, and you hit back with the same bullshit?

Smells like a bad actor to me. Does the admin know how many brain cells you have?

>>52157

hes brown and got triggered at the nigger word. terry wouldnt approve.

OPTION A:
>Oh, my post is gone, not surprising. Let's see what the modlog says. "I hate you"? Oh, silly mod. I will remember you fondly, shitpost #51234 ;-(

OPTION B:
>Oh, my post is gone, not surprising. No message or anything. I guess I forgot that I'm not actually making myself at home here but am just a typewriter monkey for some 20-something's weekend project. I can do better with my time.

>>52157
LMAO

Admin:
You need to deploy one idea I have had (if you want to preserve Tor posting and thus my presence). This idea I steal from Kohlchan (kohlcash). Add one more box below Name, for post token. This token should be a simple version of bitcoin, where a user (using an official generator program) generates a unique 1,024-bit ID, adds some padding, then sha512/whirlpool/streebog hashes the ID and padding. The server should have a minimum difficulty setting, which is the number of zeroes (or ones) in a row at the beginning (or end) of the hash required in order to post. This difficulty setting could be manual, or algorithmically driven to control spam. 'Outer' low privilege boards should have a difficulty which takes minutes-to-hours to find a compliant token (ID+padding+hash in ASCII format) to put into the box, while 'inner' high privilege boards should take days or weeks of mining. You can use the 1,024 bit ID portion for blacklisting (banning) and whitelisting (to view/post in secret boards).

This zoomzoom faggot would have to spend a long time to make a single post which gets him re-banned. A difficulty level which changes can cut off all the easy tokens which can be pregenerated in the event of a spam attack. Existing low difficulty tokens can be 'upgraded' if the user keeps running the token miner on the same ID and finds a higher difficulty padding+hash pair for the ID.

This was going to be how I implemented a darknet-only text board. Since I am unlikely to myself, I hereby gift you my idea. Enjoy!

>>52156
Enjoy your dead website, dude. When you one day run afoul of the secret police on this site, someone else will take your place as chief modslobber and tell you the site is better off without you.

I like how you included your handle to garner more good will with the mods. You're a good little weasel, aren't you? Are you on your way to becoming one of them?

>>52159
>oh not surprising
So you know you're posting shit to the site and you're inherently expecting it to be deleted. Would you rather I quickban you for fifteen minutes so it's clear to you rotten fucks that Cyberix isn't a place for mindless sludge? That can stay on 4chan and the retard soyjak websites.

Will let them know of this idea. Seems like a good idea.

Was going to call it PoWchan, and was going to theme it with prisoner of war decorations just to play on the ambiguity of the PoW acronym.

>>52162
You are just a brown nigger. Why would I post on a site ran by a brown fucking nigger?

>>52167
Quiet dalit, nobody buys your attempt at signalling masterracehood.

>>52160
That mining hash bullshit is still just an extra hoop to jump through to post on some niggers forum. Look at this place, its totally brown coded. Literally.

>>52162
In my example, a user just trying to be funny says "oh, not surprising" not because they always know they made a shitpost but because they ALWAYS know that mods = fags.
>Would you rather I quickban you for fifteen minutes so it's clear to you rotten fucks that Cyberix isn't a place for mindless sludge?
Having a message back about why the post is gone would be a lot better than nothing, yes. Absolutely, it would be better than the current situation. My point is that completely opaque deletions will kill your site faster than anything. A modlog would be best, but a message on every delete is better than it is now. It's "something happened" vs "did something happen?"

The way you worded this like some sort of gotcha is hilarious to me. You're finally getting it, but not at the same time. I hope one day you realize the reason you're doing this is an overinflated and fragile ego. Take some psychedelics.

Lol this will be the only day in my life i see this nigger website. Enjoy being another flatlined chan because you were a fucking retard who played reddit mod on every seed of traffic you got.

>>52169
The point is to add a barrier of difficulty that used to exist in the '90s which kept you shitskins out of our internet places. It's to make you regret being bad when you get a 1-4 week timeout to generate a new user token in order to return to the nice boards again.

You deserve 4chan and sharty.

>Having a message back about why the post is gone
hmm man i honestly can't figure out why my thread and post that had a total word count of three got deleted i need a moddy to tell me what i did wrong :(
if you can't figure out why your post was deleted, then maybe i never had a reason to begin with

Keep talking. We all know banning you fucks would be worthless effort right since we allow Tor.

>>52172
You will be back in two weeks to attempt to sew more discord. Your financiers cannot abide free spaces with quality posts.

>>52174
Exactly, it's so you're forced to give him some code citation which he can then go pilpul on until he rallies enough opposition to you to reduce your ability to clean his shit up.

Better to quietly execute him and let him go find somewhere else to shit up. You owe him NOTHING!

>>52174
I made this thread because I saw someone else's thread complaining about censorship get deleted. I know now exactly why you deleted that post: you're a retard faggot that thinks that word count = quality.

I have taken the initiative to create this thread as a direct consequence of having observed another user's thread, which was ostensibly focused on expressing discontent and frustration with regards to the perceived censorship they had experienced. Regrettably, this thread was subsequently deleted, an action that I have come to regard as a paradigmatic exemplar of the very issue that the original poster was attempting to highlight.

Through a process of introspection and analysis, I have arrived at a profound understanding of the motivations that likely precipitated the deletion of the aforementioned thread. It has become abundantly clear to me that the individual or individuals responsible for moderating this platform, and who ultimately made the decision to delete the thread in question, subscribe to a rather simplistic and misguided philosophy. Specifically, it appears that they erroneously conflate the quantitative metric of word count with the qualitative notion of content value.

In other words, I have come to the realization that the moderators seem to operate under the assumption that the efficacy, relevance, and overall quality of a post are inextricably linked to its verbosity, or conversely, that a post's brevity is ipso facto indicative of its inferiority. I must confess that I find this approach to be fundamentally flawed, and it is precisely this critique that I wish to foreground through the creation of this thread.

>>52175
My user token idea is to add a cost to gain revocable posting privilege, so Tor does not become an allow+(no practical moderation) XOR deny+(quiet clean moderation). My token idea gives you the option of allowing Tor posting AND making pseudobans sting.

>>52178
>waahhh I saw a post bitching about moderati... err censorship get deleted
This is a private club, not a public commons.
Fuck off.

MODERATORS MUST NOT BE MADE TO ANSWER TO SHITPOSTERS

>>52180
As I reflect upon the sentiments expressed in the preceding statement, I am compelled to offer a rejoinder that, in my estimation, aptly captures the essence of my reaction. It appears that the individual who penned the original declaration subscribes to a rather rigid and exclusionary worldview, one that posits the existence of a stark dichotomy between the rarefied and privileged realm of a "private club" and the more expansive and inclusive domain of a "public commons".

In my considered opinion, this perspective is redolent of a certain authoritarian mindset, one that seeks to erect barriers and impose restrictions on the free flow of ideas and discourse. It is this very inclination that I wish to contest and challenge through my present remarks.

Furthermore, I must confess that I find it intriguing, if not indeed telling, that the author of the original statement saw fit to couch their sentiments in a phrase that, to my ear, bears a striking resemblance to a particular mode of expression that was once notoriously employed by certain totalitarian regimes. Specifically, the phrase "so sayeth Stalin's slave" is intended to evoke a certain historical and ideological context, one that is characterized by the suppression of dissenting voices and the imposition of a rigid, monolithic worldview.

In this light, I suggest that the original statement may be seen as symptomatic of a larger phenomenon, one that involves the attempted imposition of a particular ideology or worldview on others, often through coercive or exclusionary means. As such, I feel compelled to register my disagreement with, and indeed my skepticism towards, the sentiments expressed in the original statement.

>>52182
You are the sort of retard which should be run from here.
Putting your text through an LLM instructed to sound like Carroll Quigley isn't making your shitposts any less shit.
Fuck off.

>>52146
Public modlogs are good only in a high trust society. Sadly, forum trolls who feed off of a response LOVE public modlogs because they get to see
how exactly the moderation acted in response to their malicious posts. I feel like not implementing a modlog directly starves the trolls of a response. If their post just vanishes into the void,
then they have no incentive to continue posting. Trolls will only get a response from making good posts on the forum, and then they stop being trolls in the process.

>Common forum rules against thread derailing, spamming, trolling, double/triple/quad posting, a general failure to make sense, and talking in all caps are all off the table here.

>>52184
>If their post just vanishes into the void, then they have no incentive to continue posting.
As I ponder the assertions presented in the preceding statement, I find myself compelled to pose a series of interrogative queries, which, I hope, will serve to illuminate the underlying motivations and potential contradictions inherent in the argument.

Specifically, I am led to wonder whether the author of the original statement harbors a certain trepidation or apprehension regarding the prospect of being held accountable for their actions in a transparent and publicly accessible manner. In this regard, I must ask: is it possible that the individual in question hopes that, in the event of a legal process being initiated against this site, a gag order will be issued, thereby obviating the need for transparent and public disclosure of the relevant information?

Alternatively, I am prompted to inquire: does the author of the original statement reserve the right to demand secrecy and opacity in the exercise of moderation, while simultaneously expecting transparency and accountability from others? In other words, do they subscribe to a double standard, whereby they themselves are entitled to operate in a clandestine manner, while others are expected to be forthcoming and transparent in their actions?

Furthermore, I am intrigued by the apparent paradox at the heart of the original statement. On the one hand, the author posits that public modlogs can serve as a catalyst for trolls, who allegedly derive a perverse sense of gratification from observing the moderation process. On the other hand, I am left to ponder whether the author's own actions and motivations might be driven by a desire to avoid scrutiny and accountability, rather than a genuine concern for the well-being of the community.

In this light, I must ask: what is the underlying rationale or motivation that informs the author's stance on this issue? Is it truly a desire to protect the community from the perceived scourge of trolls, or is there another factor at play, one that involves a more self-interested desire to avoid transparency and accountability?

This thread has served its purpose. Multiple users have explained why public modlogs enable trolls to game moderation, including me. The PoW token idea has been noted.

To be crystal clear: If you post "fucking niggers" as a thread, it gets deleted. If you can't understand why, you're not capable of participating here anyway.

We're not implementing public modlogs. If you have a legitimate moderation concern, contact us via the methods listed in the rules. This meta-drama ends here.

Thread locked. Further "why was my shitpost deleted" threads will result in bans.

Thread unlocked. Consider this the official unofficial moderation and related discussion thread because our e-mail is being shitcanned right now.

Mods are silently deleting posts that link back to this thread when it's clearly relevant. I think it proves that the mods here aren't really trying to create something unique, but just want a slice of the pie for themselves.

What Cyberix forgot is that none of their services like IRC or XMPP support this kind of censorship. Once a message is sent there, you will be unable to hide it from people. A retroactive accounting of moderator actions will be catastrophic for this site, and a modlog may simply be the only way to prevent it.

>>52274
FYI this thread was made because someone doesn't like how we're deleting posts that consist of verbose AI generated walls of text, shitposts that belong on 4chan or things entirely unrelated to a thread or the site at large.
>>52178
> I saw someone else's thread complaining about censorship get deleted.
aforementioned censorship thread was made because that person was complaining about their stupid shitpost being removed btw

https://cy-x.net/t/a-rundown-on-how-this-forum-operates-08-oct-25/191
this is the rules page if you didn't know, btw.

there is an internal modlog only accessible to site moderation/administration. We aim to only delete posts and threads that are created with malice. and i can easily see that a large majority of posts and threads that are deleted clearly deserve it

you either horribly misunderstand what's going on or you know what you're doing and the lack of a modlog forces you to make replise like these in order to garner a reaction

>none of their services like IRC or XMPP support this kind of censorship

feel free to come on in and speak to us directly about this 'censorship' that you're talking about

>>52275
>this thread was made because someone doesn't like how we're deleting posts that consist of verbose AI generated walls of text
This is a well-timed lie. Can you point to a single verbose AI generated post created before the phrase in this thread "word count = quality"? You accidentally created an environment where you will have to sweat over every word looking for LLMs under your bed instead of either letting people be funny or showing publicly which humor is not allowed. But I'm sure you found them all!!!@

>feel free to come on in and speak to us directly about this 'censorship' that you're talking about
You can count on it. Mwah!

I will be working to overhaul the entire moderation suite to focus on making things more accountable. I agree with the concept of a modlog, but it simply does not belong in an anonymous environment as it stands now. One massive flaw of the modlog which is my personal dealbreaker is that it allows for long-term analytical tracking and predicting of moderator activity.

Bad users will eventually learn when moderatiom is active and when it's not in order to maximize damage to the forum before it becomes active again. I simply do not want to put up with that and not having the modlog makes this easy.
