* Don't delete the user's favorites unless private favorites are enabled. The general rule is that
public account activity is kept and private account activity is deleted.
* Delete the user's API keys, forum topics visits, private favgroups, downvotes, and upvotes (if
privacy is enabled).
* Reset all of the user's account settings to default. This means custom CSS is deleted, where it
wasn't before.
* Delete everything but the user's name and password asynchronously.
* Don't log the current user out if it's the owner deleting another user's account.
* Fix#5067 (Mod actions sometimes not created for user deletions) by wrapping the deletion process
in a transaction.
Move the account deletion endpoint from /maintenance/users/deletion to either:
* https://danbooru.donmai.us/users/deactivate
* https://danbooru.donmai.us/users/:id/deactivate
This incidentally allows the Owner-level user to deactivate accounts belonging to other users. This
is meant for things like deactivating inactive accounts with invalid or abusive names. This is
limited to accounts below Gold level for security.
Allow moderators to forcibly change the username of other users. This is
so mods can change abusive or invalid usernames.
* A mod can only change the username of Builder-level users and below.
* The user can't change their own name again until one week has passed.
* A modaction is logged when a mod changes a user's name.
* A dmail is sent to the user notifying them of the change.
* The dmail does not send the user an email notification. This is so we
don't spam users if their name is changed after they're banned, or if
they haven't visited the site in a long time.
The rename button is on the user's profile page, and when you hover over
the user's name and open the "..." menu.
Remove the /ip_addresses page. This page allowed moderators to search
users by IP, and to see recent activity tied to an IP. However, it was
limited to IPs tied to uploads, comments, dmails, artist edits, note
edits, and wiki edits.
Remove this page because it was limited in scope and because there are
better ways of doing what it did. The /user_events page is better at
catching sockpuppets because it tracks IPs for every login, not just for
certain types of edits. And the /user_actions page is better at
monitoring user activity because it shows all activity associated with
an account, not just for certain types of edits.
Removing this allows us to drop IP addresses from all tables besides the
user_events table. This is good because these IPs are no longer necessary
for any purpose, and because storing them forever is a liability.
Add a system for upgrading accounts using upgrade codes. Users purchase
an upgrade code off-site then redeem it on-site to upgrade their account
to Gold. Upgrade codes are randomly pre-generated and are one time use
only. Codes have enough randomness that guessing a code is infeasible.
Add options to disable comments, the forum, and autocomplete. This is
for personal boorus and potentially for safe mode. Note that disabling
the forum may cause difficulties with creating and approving BURs.
Disabling comments and the forum merely hides them from most areas,
rather than completely removing them.
This setting automatically added the `-status:deleted` metatag to all searches. This meant deleted
posts were filtered out at the database level, rather than at the html level. This way searches
wouldn't have less-than-full pages.
The cost was that searches were slower, mainly because post counts weren't cached. Normally when you
search for a tag, we can get the post count from the tags table. If the search is actually like
`touhou -status:deleted`, then we don't know the count and we have to calculate it on demand.
This option is being removed because it did the opposite of what people thought it did. People
thought it made deleted posts visible, when actually it made them more hidden.
Disable the ability to upgrade to Platinum. The Platinum level still
exists, but users can no longer upgrade to it. Sales of Platinum are
being disabled in preparation of increasing the tag limit for Gold
users.
Inline the page footer, news updates, the ban notice, and the user
verification notice into the default layout. This is a micro
optimization to reduce the number of spans reported to the APM.
Disable cropped (square) thumbnails on mobile. Use regular uncropped
thumbnails instead.
This is for a few reasons:
* It made it harder to support multiple thumbnail sizes or file formats,
since we need a cropped and uncropped version for every size and format.
* The cropping algorithm wasn't that great and sometimes cropped out
important parts of the image.
* The thumbnail type (cropped or uncropped) was automatically chosen
clientside based on the user's screen size, which made certain things
like adjustable thumbnail sizes more difficult because we didn't know
which thumbnail type the user actually had.
This may return again as an option in the future, but for now it's disabled.
Factor out thumbnail galleries into a PostGallery component.
This changes the html structure so that post galleries on all pages are
always wrapped in a `.posts-container` class. This fixes an issue with
thumbnails on the pool show page not being aligned correctly on mobile,
like they are on the post index page. This also affected thumbnail
galleries on other pages, like wiki pages and user profiles.
Make private favorites and upvotes a Gold-only account option.
Existing Members with private favorites enabled are allowed to keep it
enabled, as long as they don't disable it. If they disable it, then they
can't re-enable it again without upgrading to Gold first.
This is a Gold-only option to prevent uploaders from creating multiple
accounts to upvote their own posts. If private upvotes were allowed for
Members, then it would be too easy to use fake accounts and private
upvotes to upvote your own posts.
Make upvotes public the same way favorites are public:
* Rename the "Private favorites" account setting to "Private favorites and upvotes".
* Make upvotes public, unless the user has private upvotes enabled. Note
that private upvotes are still visible to admins. Downvotes are still
hidden to everyone except for admins.
* Make https://danbooru.donmai.us/post_votes visible to all users. This
page shows all public upvotes. Private upvotes and downvotes are only
visible on the page to admins and to the voter themselves.
* Make votes searchable with the `upvote:username` and `downvote:username`
metatags. These already existed before, but they were only usable by
admins and by people searching for their own votes.
Upvotes are public to discourage users from upvoting with multiple
accounts. Upvote abuse is obvious to everyone when upvotes are public.
The other reason is to make upvotes consistent with favorites, which are
already public.
* Show the ban length instead of the ban expiration date in ban notices.
* Fix the ban notice to not say "Your account has been temporarily
banned" when it's a permanent ban.
Rework the rate limit implementation to make it more flexible:
* Allow setting different rate limits for different actions. Before we
had a single rate limit for all write actions. Now different
controller endpoints can have different limits.
* Allow actions to be rate limited by user ID, by IP address, or both.
Before actions were only limited by user ID, which meant non-logged-in
actions like creating new accounts or attempting to login couldn't be rate
limited. Also, because actions were limited by user ID only, you could
use multiple accounts with the same IP to get around limits.
Other changes:
* Remove the API Limit field from user profile pages.
* Remove the `remaining_api_limit` field from the `/profile.json` endpoint.
* Rename the `X-Api-Limit` header to `X-Rate-Limit` and change it from a
number to a JSON object containing all the rate limit info
(including the refill rate, the burst factor, the cost of the call,
and the current limits).
* Fix a potential race condition where, if you flooded requests fast
enough, you could exceed the rate limit. This was because we checked
and updated the rate limit in two separate steps, which was racy;
simultaneous requests could pass the check before the update happened.
The new code uses some tricky SQL to check and update multiple limits
in a single statement.
Add a new color palette and rework all site colors (both light mode and dark mode) to
use the new palette.
This ensures that colors are used consistently, from a carefully designed color palette,
instead of being chosen at random.
Before, colors in light mode were chosen on an ad-hoc basis, which resulted in a lot of
random colors and inconsistent design.
The new palette has 7 hues: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, azure (a lighter blue), and
purple. There's also a greyscale. Each hue has 10 shades of brightness, which (including
grey) gives us 80 total colors.
Colors are named like this:
var(--red-0); /* very light red */
var(--red-2); /* light red */
var(--red-5); /* medium red */
var(--red-7); /* dark red */
var(--red-9); /* very dark red */
var(--green-7); /* dark green */
var(--blue-5); /* medium blue */
var(--purple-3); /* light purple */
/* etc */
The color palette is designed to meet the following criteria:
* To have close equivalents to the main colors used in the old color scheme,
especially tag colors, so that changes to major colors are minimized.
* To produce a set of colors that can be used as as main text colors, as background
colors, and as accent colors, both in light mode and dark mode.
* To ensure that colors at the same brightness level have the same perceived brightness.
Green-4, blue-4, red-4, purple-4, etc should all have the same brightness and contrast
ratios. This way colors look balanced. This is actually a difficult problem, because human
color perception is non-linear, so you can't just scale brightness values linearly.
There's a color palette test page at https://danbooru.donmai/static/colors
Notable changes to colors in light mode:
* Username colors are the same as tag colors.
* Copyright tags are a deeper purple.
* Builders are a deeper purple (fixes#4626).
* Moderators are green.
* Gold users are orange.
* Parent borders are a darker green.
* Child borders are a darker orange.
* Unsaved notes have a thicker red border.
* Selected notes have a thicker blue (not green) border.
Adjust input boxes to fit the screen better on mobile, and to use
consistent sizes throughout the site (no ad-hoc overrides to make
certain input boxes a bit bigger in random places).
On desktop, this makes most input boxes a bit taller and narrower. On
mobile, it makes input boxes the full width of the screen.
This most notably affects the tag edit box, the comment and forum
post box, the wiki page edit box, and the commentary box.
Refactor CSS to use standard Tailwind-style utility classes instead of
ad-hoc rules. This eliminates a lot of single-purpose rules for specific
UI elements and standardizes margins to be more consistent throughout
the site.
Utility classes are defined manually on an as-needed basis instead of
importing Tailwind as a whole. Naming conventions mostly follow
Tailwind's conventions, otherwise they follow Bootstrap.
* https://tailwindcss.com/docs/
* https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/utilities/spacing/
* Add an explanation of what an API key is and how to use it.
* Make it possible for the site owner to view all API keys.
* Remove the requirement to re-enter your password before you can view
your API key (to be reworked).
* Move the API key controller from maintenance/user/api_keys_controller.rb
to a top level controller.
Factor out FontAwesome icons into a set of helpers. This is so that it's
easier to keep track of which icons we're using and easier to change
icons globally.
* Set the default comment threshold to -8. This means that comments are
hidden at -8 or lower and greyed out at -4 or lower.
* Reset the comment threshold to -8 for anyone with a threshold greater
than -8. For reference, only about ~3100 users had a non-default
threshold. About 1600 of those had their threshold reset to -8.
* Change the comment threshold to a less-than-or-equal comparison
instead of a less-than comparsion. This means that a threshold of 0
before is the same as a threshold of -1 now. Since everyone's
thresholds were reset, this only affects people whose thresholds were
already less than -8, which is so low that the difference shouldn't
matter much.
* Set the maximum comment threshold to 5. For reference, less than 1% of
comments have a score greater than 5.
* Set the minimum comment threshold to -100. For reference, the most
downvoted comment has a score of -60.
This option was originally added in issue #1747. But only ~350 users
ever disabled autocomplete, only ~120 of these were seen in the last
year, and only 9 new users who signed up in the last year disabled it.
Users wishing to disable autocomplete can use this CSS:
.ui-autocomplete { display: none !important: }
or this Javascript:
$("[data-autocomplete]").autocomplete("disable");
Remove the enable_post_navigation option. This option was originally
added to disable the next/prev post navbar beneath posts. It was later
repurposed to disable keyboard shortcuts.
Users who don't want keyboard shortcuts are advised to not press random
buttons on the keyboard like a caveman.
Only ~1200 users disabled this option and only ~600 were seen in the
last year.
Remove the enable_sequential_post_navigation option. This option was
used to disable the next/previous post navbar below posts.
This option was originally added in issue #674 because of people
complaining about the navbar when it was originally added. Also there
were complaints about URLs being uglier because of search params in the
URL (e.g. /posts/1234?q=touhou). There were also various minor bugs with
it at the time, such as keyboard shortcuts not working correctly, or the
page not remembering your search after a tag edit.
These complaints are irrelevant nowadays because a) people are used to
the navbar by now (and more often complain about it *not* being there
for order:score searches), b) post URLs always contain the search now,
this option hasn't disabled that for years, and c) the initial bugs with
it were fixed years ago.
Only ~1000 users disabled this option and only ~600 were seen in the last year.
Users still wishing to hide the search navbar can use custom CSS instead.
Refactor the post preview html to use the ViewComponent framework. This
lets us encapsulate all the HTML, CSS, and helper methods for a UI
component in a single place.
See https://viewcomponent.org.
