Board suggestions and feature requests Anonymous Admin 05/22/17 (Mon) 05:12:28 AM 9
Use this thread to discuss future improvements. Current topics: Should crystal.cafe remain as our domain or does anyone have a better idea? Staff titles (Admin, Moderator, Janitor) can be replaced with custom titles. Please suggest some if you like.

Can we please get a darker theme? All the bright colors make it difficult to browse for a longer period of time. Other than that I'm really enjoying it. Especially because there are no bitchy/snarky anons who only seem to want to cause shitsorms. As for the name, I like it.

Whenever I hide a thread, it hides all threads on the board. Can that be fixed? I want to browse /b/ without seeing the NSFW cute boy thread.

How is the site being promoted? I really hope this can be a new "home" for me so I hope traffic picks up speed.
Anonymous Admin 05/25/17 (Thu) 03:41:57 PM 52
>>28 I've created a dark theme, I'll install it within the next day. Until then, the Yotsuba B theme should be a bit more neutral on the eyes.
Everyone who's handy with CSS is welcome to submit more custom styles.
>>45 I'm happy to listen to suggestions here as I neither want to shill the site too much nor do I think straightforward advertising will work too well. I'm considering a Facebook ad campaign targeted towards women in their 20s who have relevant interests, but of course Facebook isn't the best platform.
Anonymous 05/26/17 (Fri) 09:47:45 AM 58

As for the submitting more styles, is there any sort of base code or anything? Or at least where to find it? Would like to give it a try.
Anonymous Admin 05/27/17 (Sat) 07:33:25 PM 66
>>58 Here's the stylesheet for our default theme:
https://pastebin.com/d3EFdDJn By using the Inspect tool on parts of crystal.cafe, you can change the css until you like it and copy any changes you made into the stylesheet. Please take a screenshot of the result and post it in here along with a pastebin link to your css. :)

I've been thinking about nicknames for staff. People who work with gems are called gemologists, jewelers or lapidaries, a lapidary cuts gems but it's a bit of a mouthful! I'm still thinking, as far as I've found there's no specific name for someone who oversees mine work other than just "boss". Correct me if I'm wrong.

What if apart from the suggested movie night in the survey, we also had a few "gaming nights"? A lot of users seem to play videogames, so maybe grabbing a free online or very inexpensive coop game (i.e towns of salem) and playing it together could be good for the community and maybe even bring some new traffic!
Anonymous Admin 06/30/17 (Fri) 05:50:54 PM 151

Anonymous 06/30/17 (Fri) 07:44:49 PM 152
>>140 I second having another board specifically for cosplay or alternative/jfashion.
I don't know maybe later down the road, there could even be 3 separate boards:
>/beauty/>/fa/ (could include both normie and alt fashion) >/cos/ I don't think there's ever been a cosplay board for girls only seeing as /cgl/ is overrun with male cosplayers. It might actually attract more female gulls to crossover here or even girls who specifically stray from 4chan could have a safe haven here so-to-speak.
Anonymous Admin 06/30/17 (Fri) 08:36:14 PM 154
>>152 Would a /cgl/ board be sufficient? Once we have much more traffic, I would eventually like to split it into sub-boards (cosplay, lolita, fash, jfash). But, right now, the board is too slow to add so many similar boards.
Also, I was wondering if an NSFW board would be a good idea.

>>160 Ah! Seconded on GW2, played it for a while, ended up uninstalling it but it is quite fun for the first 80 lvls and fairly easy to get into, the community is pretty chill too and it's very easy to make guilds, which is nice. Also unlike ffXIV, everyone can play since it's free.
Otherwise maybe things like Drawful, 100% Orange Juice, Keep talking and nobody explodes, Tabletop simulator, ARMA 3, Left 4 Dead/Paladins (Although not sure how keen the girls here will be on shooting games) could be some good options.
Some of these games are limited players rather than MMO, but since the userbase is small, it could work. Most of them are under 10 dollars, free, or normally on sale for 1-5 dollars or less.

Anonymous 08/27/17 (Sun) 03:48:55 AM 212
>>208 It really depends from artist to artist. In my case, since I already have a clear design in my mind, it would take just a few hours to sketch and paint. Some can take longer, or even less time, but it probably wouldn't surpass a day to have it all figured out, maybe.
My suggestion would be: Announce on everyboard (like LC does the hellweek announcements, for example) that the board-tan contest is/will be open. Specify the deadline to enter the contest with the design (I'd suggest a week up to 10 days max). Once the deadline ends, have another week (or less, like 5 days) for voting.
>>211 Shouldn't the Autumn Thread be moved to /img/? I know it can have other things, but it's mainly an aesthetic thread right now.

> I recommend making new animal-related threads to keep varied conversations going.I was thinking about that but I'm not sure if I should put it in /img/ or /dis/, I want it to be more discussion like with people talking about their breeds of animal they have as well as their pets quirks but even then it could just dissolve into image dumping.
Anonymous Admin 08/28/17 (Mon) 09:01:46 PM 221
>>216 It depends on the nature of the thread!
/disc/ - Ethics of adopting vs breeding
/b/ - favorite breeds and stories and pics
/img/ - post animal pics!
All these threads would be moved to the animal board if we make one in the future.
I will write an explanation for the differences between the boards soon and open an ongoing survey where users can suggest future boards. Then once we have enough requests for a specific board, we will open it on a trial basis!

We need a board-tan ASAP. I would love to see the designs
Anonymous 09/17/17 (Sun) 09:07:10 AM 267
Hey admin, I wonder is it okay to suggest a board idea? I'd really love an /x/ (paranormal) board. I think I've seen a few girls here mention that they're into spooky stuff. We could talk about murder mysteries, witchcraft, our paranormal experiences, share spooky films, talk about cryptids from our individual countries… I really liked /x/ before it became full of "how do I summon a succubus" memes. Maybe an all-female paranormal board would be more intelligent and interesting?
Anonymous Admin 09/17/17 (Sun) 03:25:53 PM 268
>>267 Personally I would absolutely love this, but adding too many boards will dilute the site and make it harder for users to find content they like. I've considered adding an /x/ board as a seasonal Halloween trial thing and keep it if it's active enough. I'm working on a poll for more user input and will include a way to vote on new boards!
Another possibility is to offer ongoing board suggestions that users can vote on and we'll open boards once there are a certain amount of votes. Please let me know what you all think!
Anonymous 09/26/17 (Tue) 04:11:59 PM 299
>>268 I honestly feel like we don't need /disc/. It covers such a broad range, it's really vague and that kind of OT discussion gets posted elsewhere anyways. I get it's kind of a containment board, but that's what /b/ should be until we need something else. Then we'd have room for another board possibly?
Anonymous 09/27/17 (Wed) 02:03:27 AM 300
>>299 I kinda agree with this. I never really understood why /disc/ was created since I feel like it can be pretty similar to /b/. Similar discussions happen in /b/ and /disc/ (ex: the drug use general seems pretty discussion like to me but it's posted in /b/). It makes me confused as to where some threads should go

I'm one of the few that thought "let her post as long as she doesn't sperg", but if she tries to bring the robots and incels here she can fuck off the board.

Can we change /cgl/ to something broader, like /fash/ or similar, as in to includie other forms or indie and normie fashion as well? I'm not into lolita or other weeby interests, but I'd like to discuss fashion and that would probably be the best board for it. The only thread there that isn't lolita is the twee fashion. If posting other types of fashion there is a-ok, I'm fine with it. It's just a name suggestion, idk. Or even the description: /cgl/ - Cosplay, Jfash, Fashion Cosplay, Lolita, Jfashion, General Fashion Or something like that.

The 'Girl Talk' theme displays the background image from the 'Autumn Light' theme at the top right. You can fix this in the CSS by setting the 'background' element for the body to #FEEBF4 instead of the 'background-colour' element.

Not sure if this belongs in this thread or the comments one, but thumbnails and full size images aren't always in the same orientation, e.g.:
>>>/img/2519 I'm not sure if this is something that needs to be 'fixed' or if it's just a question of educating anons on how to rotate images properly. It might be better if the thumbnails
weren't rotated according to the EXIF data when they're generated though, because then anons can see the image isn't rotated.
Unless this is something that can be configured with a flag I imagine modifying the thumbnail generator might be a fair bit of work though.

What's the logic behind some posts simply stating "you can't sit with us" and other posts that are entirely deleted? I feel like posts being deleted is far better because it disallows more attention being drawn to the man posting.

I have a really stupid question/idea. Because we get sometimes males posting here and raids… Could we do like one special thread or one special channel on discord where they can be? I think they would loose the interest in this board or the discord because it would not be forbidden anymore. Like if you tell a child not to do something, they will do it. But if you say: "Yeah go ahead." it will mostly not do it. It is probably a bad idea. I am really tired, I am sorry.

I am not for getting rid of them, but maybe lessening the usage since it doesn't really contribute to conversations very much since people assume they are talking about the same thing and speaking past each other. I already don't participate when there are discussions based around these topics, but I don't want to go as far as telling people to stop–because they won't, if something is taken away, it's going to result in backlash even if people don't have a large investment in it to begin with.

Okay this is dumb and nitpicky But I get bothered how threads from /b/ and /feels/ get organized incorrectly. Like the names thread in /feels/ is more of a /b/ thread imo and then there was a pony thread in /b/ which should be in /media/. In general I've noticed mods have seemed to slow down, most apparent with how long it is starting to take to ban maleposters. But maybe it's just because my timezone is dumb.

>>1806 If you can't think of people outside of a bonkers, silly, childish "Chad/Stacy" dichotomy then yeah, maybe you need to be banned, and remain so until you've read at least one book. But in all seriousness interlopers are going to use these "femcel" threads to turn this board into another far-right 4chan outpost and only stringent and forceful moderation is going to prevent that. You can pretend it won't happen here, or maybe you just don't care, but it's already begun and if you won't see it then more fool you.
What you perhaps don't understand is that these people are happy to lie, mislead and obfuscate in order to get their way. They aren't interested in having their opinions challenged or changed.
And what a lot of imageboard admins don't understand is that far from driving everyone away from an imageboard, this kind of moderation can create a unique online space that anonymous users want, but can't find since the mass-/pol/iticisation of many other sites.

Forgive my ignorance of web development for I am not a high-IQ computer scientist; but is it possible/feasible to merge threads with the OP post and image intact and migrated to another thread? The wonderful thing about this website is that post links work perfectly and are smooth (IE a post link from /feels and be posted here on /meta and immediately work) so issues with context and quoting posts shouldn't be a problem. I bring this up due to numerous duplicate threads and their OPs (and it's not just /feels and relationship venting; lots of same threads on /b). Right now the way to deal with this is to post a link in duplicate thread to older thread and lock the new one; but I don't like this for a few reasons. 1) most of the time while the discussion in the locked new duplicate thread may have been somewhat active that activity doesn't carry over to the older thread for some reason (shyness? Laziness in quoting another thread?). Even if locked duplicate thread stays in catalog at top for couple days (resulting in lots more threads clogging up catalog) 2) I am not a mod and I feel awkward being "that person" telling a small but active (say 5 post thread) that another thread is here as often times I have nothing else to say and just posting a link feels abit dismissive (for me, I don't mind seeing mods do this). There's for instance 3 different threads about a general topic that I am hesitant to report because 2 have atleast somewhat active recent discussion. 3) lots of older threads (cooking, general interests, etc) with nice stuff in them and nowhere near 500 posts. Some new somewhat related recent posts merged would bring life to those threads like a general thread without people having the shame of "necrobumping". And like that a cathederal is built one stone at a time. Granted it's not perfect and there would be some confusion in context at first but is it possible?

>>2955 >>2954 >>2956 A while back I posted a request not to make any new threads about this topic and use the general instead, I'll make that request more visible by adding it to the /b/ sticky. I'm hesitant about adding new boards as containment zones because I believe that they will bring in new users that are solely interested in that board and not integrate with board culture, and it will overshadow the regular activity and fully cement our reputation as a site whose only purpose is to talk about gender. Threads that vent about men are already taking up a majority of the site; I have even been thinking about making a board for talking about issues with men so that /b/ and /feels/ have more room to breathe, but again, containment zones rarely work.
Another issue with the trans subject is that anyone who isn't fully on board with gc is deemed a man/tranny and reported, which means that there's not much basis for discussion and I see this situation getting worse as gc discussion is expanded upon, making it impossible to moderate because of the strong belief held by many users that no real woman could be posting in support here, even if I've checked their post history and did not see any red flags. It's a weird slippery slope and our site is so small and already a huge target for trolls and infiltration, so big changes like these could make or break it. I'm leaning towards making a radfem board to contain manhate and terfposting if anything.
Anonymous 09/02/20 (Wed) 02:46:58 AM 2963
>>2962 >a board to complain about men I think that would be even better. Some time ago I made a thread on /b/ about how we talk about men too much here, and how that's not good. Since then it became even a bigger issue.
I think this influx is because the biggest subreddit about the subject was killed recently, so they came here. This and the natural growth of the site.
Agreed about those who don't hate trans (and I say this as someone who hates trans). We don't need to be hostile toward them, it's a mistake I won't make again.
Anonymous 09/02/20 (Wed) 03:02:39 AM 2964
>>2962 Makes sense now that you mention it, how about the opposite? A board specifically to keep that kind of threads/posts out.
Like, anyone one either baiting or posting terf/men/pol stuff would either get the posts removed or a temp board ban. Might work since /b/ inherently invites it so may as well have one that avoids it.

Anonymous 11/01/20 (Sun) 06:41:38 PM 3267
>>3266 I've already gave my opinion on this a few times:
The main problem about a containment board would be the fact that 1 it would have more traffic than any other and 2 they would leak to other boards, looking for girlfriends and stuff.
No one denies that imageboards have both the best and worse people from both sex and there are moids that could actually contribute to this board, but I think it's too risky to have them legally here, even if they would be in only one board. The staff would need lots of discretion to ban all the bad posters it would bring (and they can always evade). Also, if CC becomes too mainstream, the chances for raids would rise as butthurt /pol/ and /r9k/ moids would just flood with gore and CP.
The only remotely possibility IMO a mixed board could work would be something like a /gsg/ (girls ask guys, there is a site for this) where only those that genuinelly want to help wouldn't be banned and even this is very risky.

>>3341 Not her, but it's honestly easier and quicker just to evade than to talk to you. I'm sure you're a really nice person, but even if it took only 5 minutes to rid of a unjust ban, that would still be 10 times the amount of time it takes to get proxy. Also, explaining to someone nonanonymously about how your yaoi picture wasn't off-topic and actually pertained to the discussion is honestly a little embarrassing and only pushes a person more towards evading entirely.

>>3342 I understand that, but ban evading to ask me why they were banned is ineffective because I can no longer see previous posts, so offering to chat elsewhere is the only option I can provide.

>>3345 Does crystal cafe not list the reason of the ban like 4chan does?
