not a mod but you probably wont like this answer. From a coding perspective, its far easier to never have the ips expire. I dont know if thats what this board does. But usually, this would be a specific feature outside of a basic board functionality. ie. it probably doesnt expire.

Not a mod as well just a tech guy.

>How long does this website keep the IPs?

That depends on the web server configuration(NGINX or Apache or whatever they use). The moment you access the website it gets a HTTPS or HTTP server response logged into a log file, but after a while it goes away if you haven't visited the site in a while because of other people and scrappers and bots visiting the site. The log file gets filled and most likely restarts or it might keep the old log file for a while before automatically backing it up for a multitude or reasons. (Their configuration or maybe they need it for Law Enforcement if you post illegal content.) Also vichan and NPFChan are able to see your IPs if enabled. I've used NPFChan and it has the possibility of hashing your IP if enabled but who knows what the staff here has it configured.

>Do IPs also get deleted if you request a post removal?
No they do not. Just depends on their configuration. If they ban and remove all posts then maybe but who knows what other files they keep on you.

>How long does this website keep the IPs?
Indefinitely as far as the mod panel suggests. Pages to view an IP's post history are generated on the fly as we visit them, so technically there's already a post history page for every possible IP.
>Do IPs also get deleted if you request a post removal?
Successful active posts are visible on this IP page so long as they're up. Posts deleted by the staff are visible on the IP page until we superdelete them. Posts that have expired by normal means are archived and then they no longer have IP data attached to them. Posts deleted by a user are completely wiped from the system, minus the temporary rolling master log file which is required for floodgating. Posts rejected as spam show up as a footnote on the IP page marking the time of the rejection. Upon loading the IP page, the IP is checked against a list of known VPN IPs which is displayed to us if a positive result comes back. There is a native system in place for checking the general country of origin of an IP that would appear on this page (for /int/ flags), but we have that disabled.

If you have a post you'd like superdeleted, you can request so by mailing ayydmin@proton.me . You'd have to convince me it was really you who made the post however.

This is our case. I'm not sure how far back the log goes, but its size is capped to be tiny and what is recorded is concise. Really just enough for the floodgate to operate and see if the server is being cyberbullied.
>Also vichan and NPFChan are able to see your IPs if enabled. I've used NPFChan and it has the possibility of hashing your IP if enabled but who knows what the staff here has it configured.
Wizchan does not hash IPs. Our ruleset and arbitrary moderation prohibits truly fringe subjects from being discussed so we have no cause to protect anyone from anyone else. A lot of moderation these days is preventive which is made possible by seeing the IPs of violators and connecting them to similar IPs. We're not dancing to the tune of those who believe IPs are anything personPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

thanks for your honesty. I remember 8chan mods posting IP's of users for shits and giggles or because they didn't like the poster. I still dislike though I gotta let Google in my browser to fill your captcha. But I guess these days you can only be a Luddite so much before cutting off your internet completely.

>>65211
Clarifying Rule 7 stuff is reasonable. In a lot of cases the first violations were the only violations. I haven't had to ban for female vtubers since the very day it was arbitrarily declared that they were 3DPD. I'll refresh the rules and GPGs soon.

>>65213
GPGs?
What do you mean by that?

I'm going to guess he means General Posting Guidelines.

>>65242
Never seen the term/abbreviation before, but your guess at least would make sense in context.

yeah I have a way to deal with that fact – I don't come here
i just happened to be bored today

Sadly, the crabs have decided to take over this place and now they'll never leave. I still think all the actual wizards left and went back to 4chan. It's really gotten that bad here.

>>65215
If mods are corrupted, it is over

kiwifarm mods are getting tired of being jannies.

It's the state of the internet. I predicted this. Once peak wizardry has been reached there's nowhere to go but down.

>>65073
Counter-butthurt. Staff are doing great

>>65074
Post with capcode nigger. You ain't fooling anyone you kike.

>I am no longer removing rangebans when a non-spammer gets around to using one of the banned IPs. You're just going to have to find a VPN with an unbanned set of IPs. If you're not using a VPN and your legitimate IP got caught in the crossfire, consider switching internet service providers

this is the the reply i got when i emailed you about getting unfairly rangebanned in march this year

my ip is the same and i didnt switch isps (lol) so what happened? i found out i could post again a few months ago

>>65077
That reply was during a phase of heavy spam. I've since been generally accepting appeals and have removed a few rangebans covering a broad number (hundreds of thousands) of IPs. Rangebans are usually dished out in weeks and months too so they expire like any other. Some narrow ranges (1 - 1,000), especially those we know belong to a VPN or even a cellular network, are kept banned because the mod log shows them being responsible for routine spam over the past 10 years.

>>65102
What are you asking? One email was received today asking to unban an undefined IP. If that's you, then no.

>>65105
Are you ever gonna apologize? What the fucks wrong with you dude?

>>65038
link to the abyss? please

>>65039
lmao

>>65040
;)

aww man, it sucks to write a lengthy post just to find out i got banned in the meantime, and my effort is wasted
i dun wanna write it again :(

write a tldr

I would buy one if wizchan implemented a filter system like 4chan. so I can filter the word hitler and wizcel etc. if they are not able the deal with one bad apple they could at least do that.

kys

>>65057
u first

>>65042
>would you buy it?
No.
Subscription services are cringe.
>is it necessary?
I strongly doubt this site is that expensive to run and if there is a need for money then ether admin can get a day job, offer a donation drive/fund raiser, or something else that is compatible with being a non-profit .org site that won't get him in trouble with the paper pushers.

I would, yes
but gives us some perks in exchange

a rule34 of wizards banning pornposters, turned into a porn scene

>>64161
>means you are a jewish female

you clearly have an excessively low ability to think rationally

Forbid mods to ban users under vague reasoning of schizoposting.

>>63957
>What is the biggest change you would make to wizchan
update the FAQ and rules to include the current features as well as explain the rules the mods enforce but aren't officially listed because no one has bothered to update the rules page in like 6 or 7 years.
Also some way of finding out what is going on when the site is down would be nice.
Also fixing or removing the shit that has broken for years would be nice. Like the dead links to the textboard and wiki, or the comically busted user activity counters on the front page. My vote is just remove the dead links already.

>>64841
>>64844
Is it for all boards total?

>>64908
yes, thats my theory, ~30 posts per day on all baords

About 8-10 posters, since this only caters to people who are virgin who are extremely low in our society. Plus most people here are white so they hate non whites like me, I believe I am the only non-white here. I am an Indian. I think the people who are whites here missed their chance to do geomaxxing. There are very few posters here, you can tell by their writing style who is who though. Although the whites here must be from very white countries else their pretty privilege or JBW would've gotten them out of their misery.

As for me, I am more of a crab than a wiz. So actual wizards are very few, you see majority of men want to ascend and understandably so. But they still post here.

While I cherish image boards the people here are the same 4chan pol kind. Like as for me I was surprised that there's racism here as I thought that when you're this rejected by the society you will sympathise with other unfortunate people but apparently not. It's like Slavs and Jews in concentration camp. Where Slavs used to complain to Nazi Officials when they were grouped with the Jews and then doubled down on hating the Jews, the Jews did the same to Slavs. Despite both of these groups starving to death there wasn't much sympathy between others.

It reminds me of what happens in my country. In our country there is a particularly poor state called Bihar and Biharis migrate to other parts of India and rest of Indians talk about Biharis the same way the way whites talk about Indians. Except the race part.

Such is life. Kick the guy below, further below. Curse the guy above. Humanity is very foid like in its behaviour if you get what I mean. As for me, I am more or less tied to this website.

>>65032
>geomaxxing
>to ascencd
Fucking crab.
>I believe I am the only
If you're so good at observing human behaviour, why didn't you fit in among normies? I mean, why don't you go to reddit?
Racebaiting crab.

>>65034
I mean there is no lie that whites have it easier in dating area than browns, that's just a fact. I don't fit in among normies because I don't look like them.

I had an archive of the one from 2 years ago that got 100+ replies, but I ended up deleting it (along with many others) last year. I might have some screenshots, but I’ll have to check in my older HDD.
