While I would never argue with the intention of the site mods to police the comments for good taste, I do wonder sometimes why a comment is removed when the image it is attached to may be something as outrageous as two women covered in sperm and holding dildos. I made a mild comment about a cake knife two days ago that included a explanation for the type of knife used to cut the wedding cake in the image and inference about the size of the blade, that was removed (?). I have zero issues with this but do wonder why some comments that seem to be innocent are removed.
My suggestion would be for feedback on a removed comment (possibly even in the My account/Comments section) to at least address and possibly teach newcomers (or us other folks that love to poke a little fun at an image) what is or is not acceptable. While I understand that the comment should be related to the image, and not overly pornographic in nature, and somewhat relevant to the subject, I still sometimes wonder why certain ones are removed.
As I know that you mods must get a lot of spam/pointless comments about images etc., I still enjoy reading the comments for the sometimes comical observations from funny people and newcomers. I think this, and the great images is what makes an enjoyable time here. Just wondering if the mods are doing this as individuals and subjectively, or do they adhere strictly to the comment guidelines?
I must also take the opportunity to give props to StahnAileron for his patience and excellent tutoring with many questions I've had with the rules and environment as a whole. He deserves a raise.

If we had to explain every comment we delete we would still be deleting last month's comments. So that's a no. Hell, even when we specify why an image is deleted, the 99% of the time, the reason is completely ignored, I'm sure this would be no different for most cases.Animeticklesmytoes said:

As the forum and comment guidelines point, stupid and pointless comments are subject to be deleted by a moderator/admin. Sadly "pointless" and "stupid" are subjective judgements depending on the person who reads it, we just provide some basic examples of what might fall under this category (for example what you refer as comical might be plain stupid for another person).
I haven't seen nor deleted the comment you mention so I can't tell you the reason why it got nuked. There's also a chance that it got deleted on the server move, since the only thing I bothered to keep up to date until the very last were the image posts.
Works for me. Thanks for the quick reply.
To get my 2 cents in. Since I did this when I started being a mod, besides the fact I would delete 10+ comments a day, most of the time people didn't follow the warning, replied to not tell them what to do. or on the odd chance they said sorry and didn't know better.Animeticklesmytoes said:

Since it's so easy to just make a new account, the thread of ban is pointless. I wouldn't mind doing this to regs who mess-up, but for every new comer that just happenes by can say cool to a image. Its just easier to delete it and move on.
I was just kind of brainstorming; no biggie. I did wonder if I had maybe made a bad comment though.
No, more than likely it was a glitch during the move. The same happens during each server move. We lose a hour or more of dynamic data whenever something major is done on the server.
I know the post you're speakling of. While I don't recall your exact post on that one, I think I do recall seeing your name in the comments. Last time I recall seeing that post (couple days ago), nothing had changed. I believe it was not too long before Shuugo told me the server move was completed.
Ah, yeah. I just looked at it again. There's a large gap in tiemstamps. Pretty sure it was data loss due to the transfer.
What I would like would be for comment deletions by mods to be recorded for tracking users and their habits in the comment section. It's much harder to ban users for consistently poor commenting unless they did a string of them in a row. Even then, only a single mod can track a user. Between mods, it's harder to track a single user (unlike post deletions which are recorded for all to see).
Anyway, Toes, from you comment record, though you sometimes veer off-topic on rare occasion, I've never had to delete any of your comments (I think). They abide by the policy of actually containing content (even if a bit obscure ^_~) and tend to be on-topic. You, yourself, shouldn't have much to worry about.

EDIT - Suggestion to help us Mods
Avatar Moderation queue. Each time an Avatar gets set/changed, it gets logged so we can review it and reject it of needed. We see the Username, the actual avatar, and maybe the time it was set. Display of Post ID and rating optional. (Might be able to disregard rating:s based avatars, though I'd put that as an option, not the default action/functionality.)
Goody, It's nice to be loved! Thanks for the feedback.
I'd rather limit avatars to rating:safe posts. Even if an avatar is safe, clicking on it may lead to a questionable/explicit post.StahnAileron said:EDIT - Suggestion to help us Mods

We could always just disable clicking on the Avatar taking you to the image (at least on the .net domain. Not sure if it's warranted on .com.) Or set a warning page on clicking the avatar if it leads to a q or e post. (Warning may be disabled via settinsg option.)
I don't mind avatars leading to explicit posts (but of course, that opinion differs person to person). I do mind people using an avatar that is explicit in itself. Seeing a 125x125 image focusing on a vagina or something similar is just poor taste.

Same here I don't mind rated:e avatars as long as the avatar itself is safe.
Limiting them to only safe posts would be overly restrictive.
If you click an avatar on the G domain that goes to a Q or E then you'll get a 418.

How about we get notifications if someone comments on a picture or replies to a forum post so we don't have to keep going back and forth. There could be an option to turn them off if people got annoyed by them.
The words get highlighted...... ?
Assuming you don't delete all cookies when the browser is closed then topics with new posts since you read them will appear as bold.
New comments bump the post to the top the comments page.

I thought member level doesn't have that highlight feature.
Yeah members do and I probably wouldn't ever even notice new posts if that feature weren't there 8D
The highlight is for the main menu bar. The forum thread themselves still get bolded if new content was added since last visit for member level. Even then, new posts in either the forum or comment section bumps the associated post/thread to the top of the list.Kumacuda said:

Anyway, to address the suggestion at hand: I doubt Shuugo will be willing to do that. If is gets implemented by the main devs of Imouto (or trickles down via Danbooru's dev), fine, great. On our own? Probably not. We're an imageboard first and foremost. Being a chat and discussion community is lower down the list. Most things that get priority for integration are things that help people get to the pictures they're looking for/want. The other things that kinda gets priority is administrative things to help out us mods and admin better manage the site.
Comments and forum related improvements are unfortunately low priority. There have been a few ideas that have floated around, but most of them are adminitrative in nature. It's why we still don't have a preview feature for comments and dmail (which annoys me to no end at times).
For the time being, if you're truly having problems with tracking new comments and forum posts, all I can say is you have to start payong a bit more attention/visiting the site a little more frequently. THe forum thread do display the time since last post. Comment you just ahve to scroll down and read until you start seeing nothing but familiar posts.
I suggested an RSS feed for Comments and forums, but that was months ago. As you can see, it was never implemented.
Dan and/or Imouto are due in for a engine update/change sometime in the future (or so I hear via rumor). I have no info on the changes or any new features, though.
Hi I'm new to this site. I was brought here via my site's visitor history, as someone had uploaded one of my wallpapers to this site. I didn't mind it and was amused to find that more than one of my works are here. So I decided to join and upload a few more on my own, before someone else took the liberty...
My question is, now that I'm here, can I re-upload past wallpapers already existing in your archives, thus having all my stuff under my name in one collection? I understand this is more of an archive site over a community site, but I figure we have usernames for a reason. (Though I don't see a watch feature...) I've also noticed the upload with a parent post thing, but my point is, I'd like my uploads to be the parent post.

That's a copyright thing. We could do that, but we'd have to talk to the site owner/admin to see if he really wants to go through that process.
We're not a publishing site to any degree. As such, it's usually understood that the content uploaded here isn't the property/product of the person who did the upload. It's kinda rare for an actual aritst/creator to push their own work onto the site. Even then, much of the work is technically derivative works (Photoshops, crops, edits, recolors, composites, collages, etc.) instead of truly original works. (The borderline is where images are created based on establish material, but doesn't directly re-use said material.)
If you would, compile a list of posts upload by others on the site that are yours and provide proof you created them. I think simply providing the original link(s) to where people could've obtain them originally should suffice. Beyond that would be something like providing the original working files in PSD or whatever software format you used originally. That's asking a bit much and is a last resort though.
Dmail me the list and links (if you're still unfamiliar with the site's text formatting scheme for internal link, just provide the full URLs of the posts in questions). I'll review it before submitting it for consideration by the site admin/owner.
Do note (if I know the admin well enough) that if we find your works fall under our definition of derivative works, he (and I) will probably reject your claim. I don't mean to sound like a dick with that statement, but I think you're aware of how much of a bitch copyright- and intellectual property-related affairs/matters can be.
Also, FYI, you kinda posted in the wrong thread (off-topic). You could've just started your own new thread to ask the question or perhaps asked in the FAQ thread. In any case, you have a direct link to upper management now. If you have any further questions/inquiries regarding this matter while we attempt to address it, please contact myself or another moderator direct from here on.

Any chance for random text in your profile/sig.
Or an off-site image so the randomness part can be handled there.

Probably not. People tend to abuse those features in other forums. As noted before, we're an image archive first, a social community second (or even third).
If you wish to be part of a Konachan-related community with the features you mention, I suggest contacting kisumi or Sci and joining the MSN group they manage.

There a add-on that can do that, Its called fastestfoxAnpan said:
Automagically show new posts if you just scroll down (Instead of clicking the next page each time).
its for foxfire and google chrome and I think safari
just download and watch how everything becomes easier....
edit:One way the site can improve is by not allowing resolution under the intend ratio
for example any img under 1024 x 768 not to be allowed to be upload to save previous time on not deleting them
Problem is on very rare times we do let some out-of-rule-size images stay because they are just that good. Plus we also have a few netbook size wallpapers aswell.Elnarutoxxx2020 said:

Been suggested for the longest time, actually. The problem is coding it so it doesn't fuck up the upload process. Also, if we don't see the posts that violate the guidelines, we can't ban people. I'm not willing to invoke an auto-ban system here (at least not yet since it would have to be coded from scrtach.)
Auto-reject would just invite idiots to upscale images as well (getting around the automation) instead of actually adhering to rules.
One that check for Aspect Ratio might be better, but resolution is kinda iffy. If we did do that, the threshold would have to be a tad lower than the basic minimums. Or only let a certain rank and above bypass it.

- Is there any way to specify a crop or resize similar to how we do this when making our own avatars from images uploaded to the site? I'm asking because for things like this Galaxy Tablet that doesn't have typical wallpaper dimensions it would be nice to be able to just click on the image and set the wallpaper, in a way that either crops or resizes it to something that looks good on the tablet's resolution and multi-desktop array.
- I find that I often come accross images that come from a copyright, which I want to know the translation of, or at least the japanese characters/kanji so I can look up where it came from and what it's about.
I use a hirigana to kanji/hirigana/katakana converter, then try translating native-japanese characters but it's still a multi-step process.
( romanji -> kata/hira/kanji -> eng. for eg. )
Is there some place we can incorperate a translation for (copyright) titles that is implemented directly in the site, like how we add translations to images when there are words/signs involved.

On-site, no. You'll have to do that on your own with image editing software. We supply the images for users. We're not a one-stop shop. We cater to desktops and laptops, mainly. We use a another site's engine, so unless they implement that feature, you won't see it here. We don't have a developer of our own.sùzù said:

The Wiki? You mean like this, correct? You can reach the wiki entry for any tag by clicking on the "?" next to it in the tag list. Wiki is free to edit for all users unless it's locked. We just ask you add relevent and real info.sùzù said:

I could probably code it in if there was enough demand and the site owner had no problem implementing it. As long as I had a clear and specific idea of how it should work ahead of time.
And yeah the wiki link works. Thx
And yeah the wiki link works. Thx
We mostly rely on Imouto's dev cycle (which in turn in is influenced by the Danbooru code to some extent). Shuugo has no wish to fork the code even more to the point where we would need our own full-time dedicated dev/coder.
I'd suggest a function for updating pictures, I just observed a mistake, I made :/
