I think it's totally time to go back to that approved registration thing with all the bots that have been leaking into the board recently.

How about you just auto-ban every new member with an ICQ thingy? The spam bots are literally the only ones that use those.

I dunno if there's a better place to bring this up, so I guess it's going here?

On our profiles, there's a "type of genitals," checkbox. I understand that it's meant as a specification of gender. I just don't know what checking it or leaving it unchecked does.

It didn't appear to affect my profile either way. Meanwhile, it doesn't show up on a lot of other profiles, and when it does it's a blank field.

If this has to be a suggestion, I guess I'm suggesting that this be a more intuitive-to-use field, if not a regular input field.

It's a purposeful joke. It's not meant to be an actual thing.

It's obviously intended to be a yes or no question. "Do you have genitals, yes or no?" If checked then you do, otherwise you don't.

Listen to Bwarch, not me.

our google overlords pay us a lot to determine if our users have genitals or not

For example, I have a spaceship down there rather than a set of genitals, and so I have mine clicked off. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Sounds a lot easier to deal with than an entire alternate reality. It's really awkward explaining where all these disembodied heads are coming from.

Edit: I hope that doesn't go over anyone's head or that's going to sound really awful thinking about it, lol.

I get that it's a joke, but I don't understand how it works. Like, if I check it off, nothing appears on my profile, and likewise if it's unchecked. But for some users it's visible on their profiles?

Could it be a fill-out field? Like, if I looked at different people's profiles, it would say different things based on what they typed there.

Alice
Type of Genitals: Yes/Alternate Universe

Bwarch
Type of Genitals: Spaceship

Users could use it to say male, female or whatever serious stuff they want (not to imply spaceship genitals aren't serious business, mind you,) or they could fill the field with nonstandard answers. You know, let people get creative with their genitals.

What makes you think I wasn't aware of how ridiculous that sounded? I worded it that way for a reason. =P

would it be possible to have nested spoilers for the purposes of multilayered spoilering?

This is

a way you could do nested spoilers sort of.

The problem with that is that spambots could decide to make an infinite spoiler

that's not actually a problem but you can't nest custom bbcodes - just use ispoiler

ispoiler does not work with images. Also, one or two extra spoiler layers would have made large posts easier to manage:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14522&hilit=maglx#p196644.

I remember seeing something like it working on some other forums. They were probably using something different that might not work here.

The description of this forum is a bit inaccurate. Since raocow video/LP suggestions would be in the request thread, the description should be edited.

I was messing around with Chrome's "show paint rectangles" debug option and I noticed that there are some seriously large paint rectangles on this site that are being redrawn every frame. I looked at my CPU usage and apparently having this site open (or at least some of its pages) uses 6% of my CPU whereas most sites use 1% or less.

Just something of note that you can decide whether it's a reasonable ask to fix.

such as? there are no persistent ones for me - just as the page changes (e.g. videos, mouseover styles)
