3.0 Launch

16th November 2020

Cherp 3.0 has been officially launched- with it come a changes. Insolent is no longer involved with the project- instead, Hex and I (Keys) now compose the Dev Team. In addition to finishing up stuff Insolent had introduced in the Sept 22nd News post, we've made some bugfixes/changes of our own.

Thank you for your patience.

Misc changes

  • Site is now in 'dark mode'. You'll notice that a lot of the white space has been replaced with dark blue.
  • The logo and favicon have both been changed, to separate us from Cherubplay.
  • The Donate page now points to the right account.
  • We now have a Site Use pages. This holds the Terms of Service, Code of Conduct, Rules, Tagging Guideline(s), and an Advertisements Guide.

Chats

  • Chats now have a color indicator on their right to show you their status: grey for answered, green for unanswered, blue for unread, and red for ended.
  • Ending or deleting a chat now asks you for confirmation before processing.
  • Characters have been moved to the left
  • Advertisements added
  • Pagination is now condensed. Your chat list now also has pagination, too.
  • We now have a Live page in addition to numbered pages. The Live page grabs the 25 most recent posts in a chat and updates with new posts, but the numbered pages don't.
  • Colors are now retained between devices, so long as you've submitted a post with that color.

Directory

  • Fixed extensive blacklists resulting in empty directories if the first 'page' had no passing prompts.
  • Fixed maturity blacklisting. You can now blacklist maturities and prompts tagged with those will not show up.
  • Search has been moved to the left
  • You can now search from the edit a prompt page, as well as most others.
  • Advertisements added
  • Tags with parents now also add their parents' parents(and on, and on).
  • Aliased tags now properly chain to the last synonym in a chain.
  • Attempting to access a deleted or drafted prompt now gives you a notice
  • Searching for a tag now replaces that tag with its synonym in the search. This doesn't redirect you, but you'll get the results that you would have gotten if you'd typed in the right tag
  • A prompt now retains write-in warnings and write-in misc tags when you go to edit it.

Site Back Online + Updates

22nd September 2020

The site is now back online. Any users involved in Teh Incident, or who we found breaking rules in the deep clean, have been banned. You may find some chats deleted or ended - this is not a bug.

In addition, we've deployed some updates.

Users can now delete their account.

  • Deleting accounts is NOT reversible.
  • All chats except group chats will be expunged, as well as the messages in them. The other user will not be able to access the chat anymore.
  • All prompts on the account will be deleted.
  • All character profiles on the account will be deleted.
  • Your data will be present in our backups for up to 30 days following deletion. We will not manually restore it for you, and it will be accessed only for the sake of rule/law enforcement.

Internal monitoring tools have been updated, and more information is stored on users for security purposes now.

  • We now keep an IP history of users instead of just their current IP.
  • Message edit histories are now kept in perpetuity.

  • Last visit time is now stored to help us match timelines on reports where needed.

  • Possibly fixed a bug where pagination would pull all messages after the end of a page on the normal timer.

  • Prompts can now be deleted if they're old enough to be bumpable.

  • Fixed an issue where prompts were bumpable after 3 days instead of 5 sometimes.

  • Mods can now directly start chats with users to hand out warnings.

  • Mods can now ban users for variable lengths of time.

  • Mods can now unban users if they feel like it.

  • The "you are banned" page now tells you when your ban will expire.

  • Added audit logging tools for admins to keep track of who does what to prevent any potential abuse of mod tools.

Additionally, the grace period for the "prompts must have substance" rule has now ended. To facilitate this, and incidentally, make sure I didn't accidentally introduce too many bugs, all prompts have been drafted. Use this opportunity to give them a once-over, delete the ones you don't want anymore, and spruce up the ones you do.
