>Post formatting help
Post formatting options appear next to all the comment fields now. I'll restyle the quick reply field soon to make it a bit less ugly.
Would anyone like to see other specific markup options or word filters? Strikethrough text will be added.
>Quick Reply

>Embed field for Imgur links
This is great to help avoid cluttering your desktop with thread pics. If you use the imgur extension, right-click any image on the web, rehost it to imgur with one click, and paste the URL into the embed field.

Is there any way we can view the most recent posts on this site? I think it'd be handy to have if we want to see this site grow more. It'd be easier to keep track of recent activity. Maybe we could have something similar to the front page of lolcow.farm?

Since more varied discussion since to be the theme of the site, how do you feel about the proposal of an /x/ board (for high octane spoops) and/or an /int/ (intellectual discussion on the subjects of philosophy, politics, religion etc.) board?
I know the latter three don't always consist of intellectual debate, but I can't think of a better description tbh.

Would a vegan thread be more fitting in /b/ or /disc/? I feel like a thread in /disc/ would be a bit heavy when I'd just like a thread where we could
share experiences and recipes without necessarily having huge debates.

Hi, I just found this site googling for discussion about neocities. What would you guys say separates this place from /cgl/ and /lolcow/? I have to say it looks pretty cute and comfy here on first impression but I stopped using imageboards recently because they can be pretty negative… it would be great if there was an imageboard for girls where people tried to be kind to each other, though.
Anonymous 251
Hey,
>>248 - welcome to the cafe.
I'm happy to say the cozy-posting level here is pretty much off the charts in comparison to other imageboards. FWIW there's an amount of infighting with other boards with primarily female userbases but that's consolidated to one or two threads and easy enough to avoid if you're not looking for it.
This is more or less an assumption but I do think that crystal.cafe was founded in good faith- more often than not here really does just want to make friendly conversation.
I hope you'll stick around, anon!
Anonymous 252
>>251I poked around some more and posted in some threads, and I did see a few drama threads but there is a lot of good discussion here too. I have high hopes for this place!
Anonymous 253
>>248Well for one we're not moderated by a squad of male overlords who couldn't give less of a shit about the cosplay & lolita community, so we're different in that we have a lot more freedom of discussion here and don't have to worry about censorship from people who don't understand the culture. I guess with lolcow this site is like lolcow's nicer, friendlier straight-A little sister? Light drama topics and discussion are allowed, but we have a policy on not singling out individuals for discussion, so that curbs a lot of the nastiness and infighting that might occur.
Overall pretty comfy, 10/10, would recommend.

A question!
Is the current CC discord that most of us are in the official one or is it a temporal one? The discord admin is not the site admin as far as i know, and discord admin seems very inactive.
If it's supposed to be the official one, how come it's not visibly promoted on the site?

Merging the discussion board with /b/ was a mistake.
Anonymous 432
>>431I have to agree. It's kind of an eyesore seeing only the misandry thread basically pinned to the top of the first page and raided by angry men who are incredibly hurt by the posts and posters in that thread.
I don't want to see people fighting and sperging out if I'm just trying to find the animal thread or misc.
Anonymous Admin 433
>>432>>431We used to have the same complaints about the lolcow thread. Many users asked for /disc/ to be merged with /b/ since there was confusion about where to post and why they were separate in the first place. I will observe this for a little longer and split them back into two if the majority wants it.
For now, what do you think about putting the misandry into autosage mode? This means it won't bump with new posts, which will make it harder for robots to find it too.
Anonymous 435
>>433You should definitely put that shit on autosage, for now. And ban/remove the obvious baiting shitposts that are currently clogging that thread.
Anonymous 436
>>432>>433>>431I'm not sure how merging them back will stop the shitposting. I mean, they'll likely just look for that thread. We could just have an /ot/ like lolcow does to avoid the use of the name. I think the people raiding just try to find where they can ruffle feathers since many of them post wherever.
Anonymous 438
>>436It's not about stopping it, it's about not wanting to see political infighting and trolls, especially if someone's trying to shy away from that sort of thing. It doesn't match with the themes of the rest of the threads on a typical /b/ board as already stated. It's almost like detaining the trolls to one board (because threads with touchy, political topics will always attract trolls to get a rise out of people debating) without having to look at it if one chooses not to.
And what's the point of changing the title of /b/ to /ot/? I hope that never happens here. It's straight up goofy and the lolcow mods at the time were clueless about running an imageboard at the time they made that decision. They're still clueless about modding, they don't lift a god damn finger lest they're circlejerking in their boring ass discord.

In my opinion,
>feels should be combined with /b/
Just make a feels thread and you're set
>nsfw should be combined with /b/ (people can make sex threads with spoilers)
>/img/ should be combined with /b/
I think that whole board could be concentrated into a single thread for pretty pictures tbh.
I think we should only have one or two boards for now until the site gains more traffic.
Also, I feel like the wait time for posting is too long, it's defiantly longer than 30 seconds. Could we maybe get a simple captcha instead? I really don't like having to guess as to when I can post again.
Anonymous Admin 440
>>439The wait time is temporary to ward of the spammers. I'll revert it as soon as it seems reasonable.
The board categories were decided based on user surveys, so as feedback changes, so might the board categories.
Anonymous 441
>>439>>just make a feels thread and you're setI disagree. The feels board is very convenient because for one, it's nice to be able to look at the b board without seeing a bunch of angst if it's not what I'm looking for. The feels board is quite popular on here and I like how it allows for a range of topics under that category, rather than "feels" topics trying to be maintained in one thread in one board. I mean, yeah, you could have multiple feels like threads on b, but I feel like that board is popular to the point where it would clog up b even more.

I also like /img/ on its own because having it in /b/ got a little spammy/cluttery, which is the reason it became its own board.

I think rule 5 is a bad idea.
Whether or not you bump a thread shouldn't have that much to do with your post, but more to do with the general quality of the thread. The best way to improve board quality is to bump good threads before they slide off the catalog, even if you don't have anything to contribute.
The problem with image boards is that they reward post frequency instead of post quality. As a result, the most successful threads are those which everybody has something to say about, and boards without constantly changing discussion topics tend to fall into stagnation as the same flame wars go on, day after day, for years. This is why some thirteen year old on 4chan is still arguing about whether or not traps are gay.
The most interesting threads invite posts which demand creativity, thoughtfulness, or unusual experiences, ie the threads least capable of doing well on image boards. Threads like these stay afloat through concerned people bumping them. Even if "bump" seems like a low effort post, it can still meaningfully contribute to board quality, so imo it shouldn't be discouraged.
Anonymous 460
>>452Keep politics on /b/. Inviting nu/pol/ is a recipe for disaster.
Anonymous 466
>>459so you want reddit or???
Anonymous 467
>>466Nah, reddit has the opposite problem. It smothers controversial opinions. Also, the layout's weird.
I just think bump posting can make a board better. Quality threads dying without getting any replies is more of an issue on faster, dumber boards, but it's still generally advisable to let people bump good threads.

i mean no disrespect to our admin but because of the c.c thread on lolcow i got hella spooked.. (i'm also very paranoid and suspicious about a lot of things so i'm sorry about this)
they started talking about their suspicions about our admin because she hasn't revealed if she's actually a real female or small info about her identity. i'm aware that she doesn't /have/ to prove anything because this is an anonymous imageboard but i'm just worried about our security? i mean, she has our ip addresses and probably more with our threads that had personal info or pictures of ourselves. she may even recognize us by our particular typing styles but that's obviously stretching it.
i am thankful that she made this site though. i love c.c and i'm sorry if i offended you in any way, admin!

I have also noticed an influx of skepticism and suspicion in threads, but as far as I can tell, there is no current raid situation. Aside from the one meme poster, the posts come from residential IPs, the users do not ban evade and have no or no suspicious post history. My theory is that we are getting new users who were not around when the current board atmosphere evolved.

I'm probably a bit biased because I do have an ED, but I've never posted any pictures related to weight loss/gain, so I was wondering what posts you (and another anon or maybe it was you) are taking about.

If you're a rulebreaker on another site, chances are you'll push boundaries here too.

>>847Because it's not as big of a deal as you're making it out to be. You're not a mod and yet you are mini-modding. I've asked admin for a post hiding feature and I'm sure she will deliver.
I've never accused you of being trans, but honestly if you aren't then why do those posts bother you that badly that you want to silence dissent? You know that compulsion doesn't end there, right? Once miners or even incels see yourself and others getting your way to silence people then others are going to whine for their own way to be catered to as well until this place becomes a walking on eggshells competition.
The admin said that the criticism which was given for cc is valid. She also stated that there is no standard for anybody to be a specific way here. If you think it's trolly then report it, but if it doesn't get nuked then don't be surprised because it may just be you not liking an opinion. Shit, I reported bitchy posts because they came off as needlessly hostile and trolly and they're still up. Why? Because the person likely wasn't trolling, but rather just reacted angrily to something that I said.
Going to bed. People are wild.
Anonymous 854
>>851>why do those posts bother youBecause I can't escape this tranny crap.
Better question: If you hate trannies then why do you want to talk about them all the time?
I browse lolcow threads and see infighting and segways because someone brought up trannies. I can't hide individual posts there.
I come here to chill and maybe talk about some feels and post cute pics, and what's here again? Trannies.
Why is it not valid for me to be annoyed by this?
Trannies, trannies, trannies. It's mind-boggling.
How is putting these discussions in a single thread silencing anybody? You're upset because anons like me won't be in that thread? That's a boon to you.
That way you can have your discussions and there's no risk of derailing.

There needs to be a humane way to cure these people without thinking of extermination or isolation and we should think of and consider a humane cure first.

Could you make a feature to hide certain images even if they don't really deserve a proper spoiler?
LC has that and I'd really like it here too since when we hit (-) we hide the whole thread when I just want to hide a single image.
Would that be possible in the future?
I'm starting to lurk /nsfw/ and images there don't need spoiler which is understandable, but I'd like to hide the gif showing the guy ready to fuck the sleepy girl.

I'll make these changes more visible in the future, but the board description of /cgl/ as well as the stickied post includes all fashion.
Please suggest board URLs and I will pick the most popular one. I suggest for Cosplay to remain a part of this board until we are big enough for either a cosplay board or a DIY board.
Anonymous 911
>>910Honestly, I don't understand why cosplay needs to be part of fashion in general, especially since it seems to rub people who like lolita and j fashion the wrong way. At the moment, I feel like it's fine for cosplay related threads to be in /b/? But maybe that's just me. I do think an eventual DIY board is where cosplay could go, though.
Anonymous 912
I guess the board could just be kinda of "clothing" related then, if people don't really like having cosplays associated with fashion or whatever. I personally wouldn't really want cosplay related stuff on the /b/ board because I feel like it would still remain dead? idk how to explain it but keeping it in a clothing related board seems more organized to me. A name idea could be like /cloth/ or whatever. I know someone suggested calling it /fash/ but apparently that word has another connotation to it lol…

Not anyone who previously posted but I was lurking the conversation and had a thought, what if Admin created a new board and called it "Hobbies" (/hobb/?) Cosplay-related discussion could be relocated to the hobbies board and it would also be containment for art and writing discussion, tutorials, or etc, since there seems to be a fair amount of posters interested in both as well as crafting hobbies like sewing and knitting/crochet.

Admin, I think we should lock or delete the LC thread. Not because of that stupid drama shit that went down a week or so ago because discussion in general is fine, but because it keeps attracting vendetta anons and cancerous shitheads who get hurt there then come here to try to stir up shit and get revenge.
I understand most people will probably disagree with me since we have a large population from lolcow and all, but still just my two cents. CC is small but it has become its own thing and the userbase is forming just as our own culture so there's no need to let that thread there since anons who have complaints about LC can do it over there anyway.

Hi admin-chan. I'm not really expecting anything to happen or change, but just wanted it to be known that the rampant transphobia in the community has pushed me away from the site. I keep checking back wondering if all the TERFs have gotten bored and left, find that they're still here, and then avoid the site for another few months.
It's too bad because it'd be nice to have a nontoxic version of image board culture. Anyway it's already been a year, so asking you to change your moderation style at this point wouldn't make much sense.

how can we make crystal.cafe better? this site is cozy. just a chan for grills that's not centered around gossip, i'd hate to see it die :< or get overrun by bitter faggots from 4fun
does anyone have any issues with the community here? i know this is a general complaint thread for site issues and shit but i've seen folks on other girl orientated spaces (cgl, lc) bitching about the folks that post here. apparently they think this site is full of stealth trannies? i personally haven't noticed anyone like that but?
also mod, admin, if anyone sees this i really do think the cafe server should be discontinued. having a discord kinda defeats the purpose of an anonymous website, y'know? people should post here, not another website. maybe just remove the link from the board listing up there? if a miner asks in thread 4 a link then they can get one. i'd like it deleted, but the people in there love being friends from what i've seen. idk they'd probably get pissy.

I like the discord and I don't want it to end. It's not like users have their IPs in their usernames so it is still pretty anonymous unless they bring up themselves who posted this or that or tell the staff. I think discord should only be closed if the site slows down but let's be honest it's already slow so it won't make much difference.
I do like the idea of maybe closing it to new people for now and doing what you said!
As for trannies, at least when it comes to the discord, that is bullshit. no one can control who posts here so who knows, unless they out themselves is hard to say.
and about lolcow complaining about here: it is lolcow, they live to bitch. I haven't read what cgl says yet, but I've read lc's ""complaints"" and only 10% is valid imho, especially when they themselves are full of anons who post/say the things they complain about CCs anons. on top of that, a large amount of people seem to browse both chans. so that's just more bullshit from there.

This is very minor, but would another dark theme be possible? I constantly use dark crystal whenever I come on here, but sometimes switching up themes every once in awhile is nice and the other themes can be a bit too bright.

If you don't mind my asking, how large is your moderation team? I feel like the site is at a weird size where it's hard to find the right number of moderators, since posting speed (and quality) can vary so widely with no real warning beforehand.

Apologies for posting here. I would have liked to have contacted the moderation team personally and avoid doing so publicly, but there seems to be no IRC and the available chat channel has permissions that make it impossible to contact through that.
Could I ask the moderation team here to please be active in preventing cross board posting? We currently have a thread on our imageboard - now locked - which seems to have been started by users from here, for no intention other than to generate drama.

I actually decided to get rid of /nsfw/ altogether. Hiding it from the board menu hasn't improved its state, it's still mainly used for porn dumps by users who don't post anywhere else on the site. It also attracts men and was the slowest board even before being hidden. The few discussion threads will be moved and spoilered.

Before I sperg more, does that mean that nsfw threads on /b/ or other boards are fair game(provided that images/gifs/webms within them are spoilered) now that they don’t have a place to be contained or is nsfw content(talking more about actual porn since you’ve said you’ll be moving nsfw discussion) straight up forbidden?
Can’t really understand why its removal is necessary on account of maleposting, the whole damn site is a robot honeypot. If they know we have a space they’ll come regardless of content it seems. But you must know what you’re doing, it’s just kind of a bummer is all.
back to the supbar femdom thread on lcf with me I guess. i’m hoping your definition of “discussion thread” entails the fun ones too though and not just sex advice or whatever.
Anonymous Admin 2119
>>2118I added a new rule a few days ago (as seen in the announcement section) that forbids threads that are only made for porn dumps and the like. Posting gifs/webm/images is fine so as it's adequately spoilered.
A compromise would be to keep /nsfw/, but without the porn dumps. Those tend to be from men in more cases than not.
Anonymous 2151

Is there a way to tell when a thread is over its post limit without attempting to post and being told that it is? One time due to how slow cc can be normally, I sat watching a capped thread for like a week just thinking no one had anything to say, when in fact everyone had already moved to a new thread.
Also, is there no limit to the number of threads that can be on a board? The /feels/ catalog has like 400 threads in it.
If there isn't a limit, why not? The oldest threads on various boards haven't been posted in for over a year. Even if you want to keep the content, why not lock such threads and move them to a separate area for archival? Is there really such a big concern that someone might want to suddenly bump the thread after such a long time?
Anonymous Admin 2271
>>2259>Is there a way to tell when a thread is over its post limit without attempting to post and being told that it is? Threads are currently capped at 500 comments, you can see the current comment count on the board index page.
>Also, is there no limit to the number of threads that can be on a board? […] If there isn't a limit, why not? There's no limit because the board is small and slow and hosting isn't that much of a problem. Rather than having threads expire to be purged or caught by third-party archiving sites, they can stay here.
>Even if you want to keep the content, why not lock such threads and move them to a separate area for archival? Is there really such a big concern that someone might want to suddenly bump the thread after such a long time?A lot of threads are repetitive and don't get a lot of posts. It's preferable to have 1 thread with many replies including those from long-time users who have been here since the site's infancy rather than scattering around threads about the same subject with only a fraction of comments.
Anonymous 2272
I realize this idea won't be very well received but I'll still give it a go. Have you ever thought of having some sort of "wall of shame" where we could see banned posts and the reason for the ban? It's because I suspect there are certain users ban-evading constantly, and then come back and post but you can't ban them until they've outed themselves as male again. It's just a tiring cycle, and they shit up a lot of threads in the process.
Anonymous Admin 2273
>>2272Ban evaders can usually be spotted and will be banned again. If you suspect someone, please report them and make sure to mention the evading in the report reason so I can crosscheck old bans. A wall of shame would probably cause more incentive for trolls who wish to be immortalized.

At the very least the number of posts could be displayed inside the thread itself, couldn't it?

Anonymous 2276
>>2271Also, I don't know how feasible this is, but some sort of thread watcher or something would be really nice.
Part of the reason I was asking about a thread cap is that if slow threads are never pushed off the board and killed, I never feel like I can close them, lest I miss out on a new post. One of the threads I'm monitoring was just posted in for the first time in 4 months, for example, but I don't want to have to have those threads open constantly just to catch such posts.

Less so in general thanks to sites with demonstrably/predictably female portions of their userbases like Twitter/Tumblr/etc, but there will probably always be things seen as "too weird for women to possibly be unironically interested in." I think imageboard culture is still one of those things.

How about a ck board for cooking, recipes, and food economy?

One or a few threads on an existing board might be more appropriate, no?

Can we unhide /nsfw/? It's not like it would get raided any more than the other boards do. And people post random sex related stuff on the other boards anyway.
There's really no point in it being there if it stays hidden because nobody knows it exists and it doesn't get posts.

I apologize if there's a more appropriate thread for this question, or if this question has already been asked. I browsed through the catalog and this thread and haven't seen it asked before.
If I see a post that violates a rule, but it's a few months old (or older), should I report it or ignore it? My incentive to report it even if it's old is because new users could possibly see it and think it's fine to make the same mistake. At the same time, I don't want old posts to be an obstacle for the mods in deleting newer posts.

Can we have an abortion containment thread /b/ and include some kind of abortion general thread in /feels/?
Then, we ban any posts regarding abortion in other threads. The topic of abortion is used to detail threads and many troll threads of it get made. There have been too many bait abortion threads. I say that this way, abortion can be discussed but it gets chopped as a derailer from other threads.

I was called a freak because I apparently didn't know something was "humour"? Where do these people come from and why are they allowed? Did you promote the site on 4chan?

Is anyone else currently having trouble accessing /feels/ and /hb/? I can't access /hb/ at all using the links at the top of the page, only through clicking individual posts on the front page's "Recent Posts" section. I can access /feels/, but not certain threads. When I try to load the pages, all that appears is the favicon and link in the tab bar and a blank white page. I'm not using a VPN or proxy of any kind, have restarted my computer, and tried the same method on my phone (which didn't work), so I assume the issue is site-wide or relevant to my IP.

Anonymous Admin 2744
>>2741Yes: Janitors can delete posts, but cannot ban due to not being able to see IPs and post histories. That's why sometimes (when I'm unavailable) a user's posts will get deleted, but they won't be banned until later on when I can look into it.
Anonymous 2747
>>2744So, only you can see my IP?
I sometimes feel embarrassing when I engage on a more hotblooded discussion and the person on the other side might be a mod seeing all my posts, thinking I'm a hypocrate. Supposing you know who I am by my IP's I hope you don't have a low opinion of me.

I'm kinda getting turned off off CC due to the lack of activity here. I love the community but it feels like there is only me and handful of other posters with only 1-2 heavy ones. I make an effort to reply as much as possible and try to start interesting threads but it feels like it's not going anywhere and it sucks the fun out of the board. Threads either get a couple of replies and then die or get a lot of activity but it happens across months.
My suggestions:
>Add a radfem board.
CC is one of the few places of the whole internet that allows radfem opinions uncensored. There was a big radfem base on Lolcow before they got rid of it. I think encouraging radfems to come and participate on CC could really boast site traffic. The anti-porn thread is one of the most active already.
>Merge some of the boards.
media and img are both so slow that I don't even bother checking them anymore. They could be combined. Same for x which could be merged with b.

Yes, I think I will leave, though not to reddit. As I said before, the slowness of the board combined with the feelings of needing to post have just sucked the fun out of here. Now realising the admin and community aren't interested in using the board in the way I had hoped have just killed my interest.

>Why don't you help bring other women instead of abandoning the site?
NTA but what do you want people to do, spam CC links on other sites and beg people to post here? Tell our irl friends that we use this site? If I may be blunt, LC succeeded because it has a central topic which /cgl/ didn't accomodate and there was enough community demand for it to gain a critical mass of users. CC's entire selling point / sole differentiator from all the other copycat chans was supposed to be that it's a womens club and LC already provides that.

There has been a recent influx of users posting links to threads on /r9k/, /fit/, /pol/, 16chan, and 8chan affiliate sites. I think this defeats the purpose of having a separate imageboard for women when male opinions are constantly regurgitated here, and I highly doubt that even a fraction of the users posting these are women.

>>2926While we're at it, an indication of whether a thread has reached the reply limit besides just attempting to post and not being able to would be really nice.
CC can move pretty slowly, so I've sat in some threads for days with no new posts before it occurs to me that the thread might be full.
Hell, there isn't even a way to see how many posts are in the current thread besides trying to find the thread in the catalog (which lacks a search function) and looking at the post count there.

Why did mods ban an ip range of a certain country?
Anonymous 3298
>>2822Also same thoughts. Please address this if you don't want to answer the email.
Anonymous Admin 3299
>>3297>>3298I can count on one hand the users from this certain country who don't come here to spam and raid. At a certain point it got so bad I did a temporary IP range ban to get it under control. Of course I'm aware that this is easy to circumvent, but any additional step helps in warding off these people, and it has been very effective. I did add exceptions for the users I was aware of at the time. In any case, the restriction is no longer active.
>>2822Responding to males usually doesn't result in a ban, a 1 day ban happens when done excessively, and it's very rare that I ban for longer than that. You should see a ban reason when you get banned.
>>2926Not at the moment.
>>2927Not at the moment, but an easy and quick way of figuring out how many posts there currently are in a thread is to CTRL+F "Anonymous".

It’d be nice if another ‘catalog’ button could be added to the top of the screen and not just the bottom. Not a big deal at all but it’d save me an extra click. I also wouldn’t mind catalog just being the default way to view the boards.
Talking about mobile layout btw, never really use the site when I’m at a computer.
Also this site is nice and I’m glad it’s here.
