This lowers the barrier to entry, protects user identities and focuses on what is said, rather than who says it. .table-container.flex-center.mv-5 .anchor#name-formatting table tr th: a(href='#name-formatting') Name formatting tr td.post-message 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 input like: input(disabled='true' spellcheck='false' type='text' value='Name##Tripcode## Capcode') | . 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 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"), "name" : "Name", "board" : "example", "tripcode" : "!!X8NXmAS44=", "capcode" : "##Board Owner", "message" : "Hello, world!", "nomarkup" : "Hello, world!", "thread" : 1, "password" : null, "email" : "", "spoiler" : false, "banmessage" : null, "files" : [ ], "reports" : [ ], "globalreports" : [ ], "quotes" : [ ], "backlinks" : [ ], "postId" : 123 } +post(examplePost) 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 a unique* tripcode portion of the name. Long, unique tripcodes can be used as a form of identity. 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 and prove their staff status. .table-container.flex-center.mv-5 .anchor#post-styling table tr th(colspan=2): a(href='#post-styling') Post styling tr th Input th Output tr td >greentext td span.greentext >greentext tr td <pinktext td span.pinktext <pinktext tr td ==title== td span.title title tr td ""bold"" td span.strong bold tr td __underline__ td span.underline underline tr td ~~strikethrough~~ td span.strikethrough strikethrough tr td **italic** td span.em italic tr td (((detected))) td span.detected (((detected))) tr td | ``` | code block | ``` td span.code code block tr td `inline monospace` td span.mono inline monospace tr td https://example.com td: a(href='#!') https://example.com tr td >>123 td: a(class="quote" href="#!") >>123 tr td >>>/b/ td: a(class="quote" href="#!") >>>/b/ tr td >>>/b/123 td: a(class="quote" href="#!") >>>/b/123 .table-container.flex-center.mv-5 .anchor#make-a-board table tr th: a(href='#make-a-board') How do I make my own board? tr td p a(href='/register.html') Register | an account, then a(href='/create.html') create a board |.
