TLS certification

Why no /int/ ?

This website will never take off unless these problems are fixed. Lukyon-kun is killing their own website with these fundamnetal problems. No website is worth having to solve a riddle every time you want to post.
And the banning makes no sense. If someone can't answer, then just don't let them answer, why ban them?

Also, the problems are pretty bad. It consists questions involving graph theory, current electricity, etc., which many deserving people may not know about. The questions ought to be basic general high school level math questions. Combinatorics, theory of equations, univariate calculus, geometry, number theory, etc. AOPS, and third world entrance exams like ISI, CMI, are good source. I could supply some questions if Lukyon-kun desires.

Please Lukyon-kun, fix this.

Hello!

Mathchan is a fork of Vichan (https://github.com/vichan-devel/vichan) which is an IB software that will likely serve your purposes.
Mathchan's own source code is not public yet.

Good luck developing your image board!

It's literally just vichan with math embed support.

.

Shid I can't solve that

Can we get working YT embeds?

Hello!

When it comes to any rule, Mathchan staff shall always take in consideration the perceived intent of the poster. Only posters that are perceived to be intentionally malicious will be met with a ban. Therefore, if a poster has good intentions but uploads something by mistake, or unintentionally posts something that Mathchan finds undesirable, or accidentally skirts Mathchan's rules without knowing so, their thread will be moved to an appropriate board and/or they will be warned why, but the poster will not be punished by a ban. If you are not repeatedly and delibarately trying to infringe Mathchan's rules, you should have no fear at all of getting banned. Any goodwill effort to contribute to the body of knowledge of Mathchan is welcomed and appreciated and any potential missteps will be met with leniency and not punishment.

When it comes to the specific rule you're quoting (i.e. Rule 5), Mathchan only looks to host useful and valuable content. To be specific, Mathchan only looks to host content that is of practical value (i.e. guides, walkthroughs, explanations, tutorials, how-to's), or organic discussion that is in the interest of multiple people, and not just the OP. Without this rule, we would quickly become overwhelmed by those who are asking for something (e.g. "How do I do my homework?") and very few people would be contributing something. It's an order of magnitude easier to ask for something - especially with hard subjects like math and science - than it is to contribute something in these subjects. For this reason, on-topic boards can only be contributed to, and can never be solicited from. Creating a thread on Mathchan is supposed to be analogous to your lecture podium; you are supposed to showcase everything you know about what you are talking about, potentially answering any questions that posters in your thread might have. It doesn't make sense to assume a lecture podium and then ask your attendees to teach you something, nor does it make sense to assume a podium and then say nothing of value to the audience.

Classic examples that would violate Rule 5 because they are not considered sufficiently valuable to Mathchan are:

But questions will facilitate discussions. I don't see someone talking about their i.e. engineering experience unless asked by another poster. In that case I don't see an issue as the topic is more obvious and people will still be able to have discussions about it. People would probably post more if there are specific questions being asked. Your rules are very poorly worded, for example 4g:
>Avoid discussing views and opinions of popular individuals (celebrities, youtubers, social media influencers, ...)
you could easily be talking about the works of any popular mathematician.

>But questions will facilitate discussions
Well, first of all, I want to clear up the vision for the kind of content that Mathchan looks to host. The potentially surprising truth is that I don't actually want there to be much of a discussion on the on-topic boards such as /math/. Let me put it like this: 4chan is known to have image dumping boards such as /gif/, /wsg/, /c/, /cm/, /w/ etc. Similarly, Mathchan's boards are intended to be dumping grounds for mathematical knowledge, and that is supposed to be their primary purpose. If there's a thread about calculus, I want people to dump everything there is to know about calculus, just like if there's a thread about K-On on /c/, anons dump any images that pertain to K-On, even though they don't even necessarily discuss K-On at all.

You may pick a book, make a thread, and post every single theorem in the book, with zero discussion. That thread is, in fact, what I would consider to be an ideal Mathchan thread. Discussions in the thread are not forbidden of course, but they are only secondary. The primary objective of Mathchan is to have as much mathematical content as possible, and only the secondary objective is to enable discussion of this content. You should try have those order of priorities in mind.

What this means in practice is that if you make a thread on, for example, combinatorics, you should focus on posting everything you personally find interesting or important combinatorics. You should not tailor your thread in such a way invite other users in (e.g. "Does anybody here know combinatorics?" "Does anybody wanna try this problem?") and you should focus solely on posting about combinatorics itself. If other users contribute problems to your thread or eventually take over your thread, that's fine. If nobody does, that's also fine. The point is, you should just create a thread on any topic you want, and elaborate on it for how many posts you want, with little to no regard to whether there's anybody who actually cares about that topic and will post in your thread.


The bottom line: please treat Mathchan as more of a content dump (i.e. more like 4chan /c/), and less of a discussion forum (i.e. less like 4chan /a/).
