Hello. /main/ is where good posts go. If your post is shit, it goes in the /trash/ ... simple right?
Many posts on this board are made by anonymous users, nobody. So if you make a post without registering an account and logging in, that's who you will be. You won't be able to edit or delete anything you post. I mostly have this so that it's easy for a random passerby to try posting on the site.
If you want to have a name that is yours, you can register an account. I recommend not revealing too much personal information if you choose to do this, since this is the Internet.
The benefits of having your own account: you can delete and edit your posts, you don't have to do captchas, you have less cooldown time to wait between posts, and you can use the shorturl service at https://this.goeshard.org
So... What do you think?
It's pretty annoying when you post a YouTube link and it won't show it without going to YouTube...
but there isn't much we can do about that.
Here is a dog.
1. Sometimes a thread is trashed because the OP chose to put it there. This is a very respectable poster. They do not get warnings.
2. Sometimes a thread lives on /main/ for a short time: days, weeks, months. It's because I initially assume that it's possible it will become a better thread and have opted to give it a chance. But as time passes it becomes clear that it's just noise that signals other posters to continue in directions I don't want to see on the front page anymore. I don't hold this against the poster, since I myself was willing to try it out. It just didn't work out, so no warning is issued.
3. When a post gets a warning, it's because I immediately had to move it there for obviously having no redeeming value, or because something was posted in a thread it shouldn't have been so I moved it into a trashed thread. I will try to always state why I issued warning so that you can see what not to do by lurking /trash/.
The TLDR, is that having your thread moved to the /trash/ is not that serious. If you post on /main/ and it doesn't work out, it's not the end of the world.
You probably noticed already but the future of this site is being a blog on the front page. I built a system where a board post can be attached to a blog post to use the thread as a comment space for the blog.
One problem with that is that if every blog post had its own thread, the board would become filled with unnecessary threads. So this is going to be the default comment thread.
Welcome to the board.
Here is a thread for annoucing new features; feel free to comment.
- added a button on the thread's list view page that lets you sort in reverse. This makes it easier to post to the top of long threads instead of scrolling to the bottom. It will remember your preference for each thread. [picrel]
- hide new posts on the Latest Posts page if the user has hid the thread they are in.
The best time to suggest something for this board is while I'm working on it.
This offer to care about your opinion is limited time.

yeah... to be perfectly honest with you, I'm not sure why this happens yet.
Maybe it will become obvious if more people start experimenting with it.
