p
| An imageboard is a type of discussion board where users share images and text about various topics.
p
| The primary difference between imageboards and traditional forums is that anybody can make a post without registering
| an account or providing any personal information. This lowers the barrier to entry, protects user identities and focuses on what is said, rather than who says it.

p When posting, you can format the name field to include a name, tripcode , capcode, any combination of the three including leaving the field completely blank. Instead of a blank name, "Anonymous" is used, however this depends on board-specific configuration. The optional components are explained below.
b Format
p
| Names should be formatted as
span.mono [Name][##Tripcode][## Capcode]
| where [ ] indicate optional components. Tripcodes and capcodes may not contain "##" and the whitespace before capcodes is significant.
| . Tripcode and capcode are optional components. Tripcodes and capcodes may not contain "##" and the whitespace before capcodes is significant.
p Valid examples:
ol.mv-0
li Name
li Name##tripcode
li Name## Board Owner
li Name##tripcode## Board Owner
p For example, number 5 would look like so in a post:
li ##tripcode## Board Owner
li ##tripcode
li ## Board owner
p From the examples, you can see that all components can be used in combination or independently. In a post number 4 would look like:
-
const examplePost = {
"date" : new Date("2019-08-02T09:48:44.180Z"),
@ -68,89 +85,87 @@ block content
"postId" : 123
}
+post(examplePost)
p The name appears in the top left, followed by the tripcode with a !! prefix, then the capcode with a ## prefix. The colours may vary between themes but are generally distinct from eachother
p The name appears bold in the top left, followed by the tripcode in regular weight with a !! prefix, then the capcode in a different color, bold and with a ## prefix. The colours may vary between themes but are generally distinct from eachother
b Name
p The name is simply what name you want to be shown alongside your post. Other users can post with the same name so there is nothing preventing impersonation. This is not related to your username (for registered users).
b Tripcode
p A tripcode is a password of sorts, which users can provide in the tripcode component of their name. This tripcode is used in conjunction with a server-known secret to generate the unique* tripcode portion of the name. Users can use the same tripcode, however with a long, secure, unique tripcode, it can be used as a form of identity between posts as it is unlikely that another user will find a different tripcode that generates the same output. It is important that you keep tripcodes secret if you use them for some form of identity. A compromised tripcode can be used for impersonation and cannot be revoked in any way.

b Capcode
p A capcode is a component of the name field only available to authenticated users. This includes admins, global staff, board owners and board moderators. The capcoded string will be prefixed with the users role so board staff can make an authoritative post.
