A character accessing the forum from Daevinity, but not from any other world, will see plane shift invisibly wordfiltered to dig, and any mentioned zorkmid prices adjusted correspondingly.
(I do actually have the ability to set wordfilters, but not to make those wordfilters apply to only some users. So in this case I need you to just play along.)

There is at least one secret board on the forum (and only one which Andrew has access to). Would it be possible for others authors to get access to that board if they want it, like with this backstage board? Would everybody currently on that board be OK with this?

Maybe I should just let everyone in the Backstage group see the secret board.

OK. If you're in the Backstage group but not "supposed" to have access to the secret board, then you can reach it by direct link here and read threads, but it won't show up on the front page and you can't post. Please remember that in that case your character can't read the secret board and isn't supposed to know it exists. |

For anyone with deep enough access to this forums' workings, and can peer around connected multiverses for information, they will notice that very strict restrictions are being placed on accessing this forum directly in Pantheon. The site is being mirrored, and over the next few days several other effects will be put into place to further isolate the Direct Forum, but access, albeit indirectly, will not be hindered in any way. Because all of the content is being copied and mirrored perfectly on a mirror site, esthfora's Truth effects will be un-copyable according to how I read their function (Sorry esthfora, it's what I'd expect Pantheon to do).
Anyone able to see these restrictions being put into place will also notice that the internet language being used to program and code and comment everything appears to be a modified version of Swahili.

Uncopyable or uncopied? I still haven't decided if copying the formatting would work for the purpose of testing how it applies to arbitrary statements, but it wouldn't be hard at all to deliberately leave that formatting tag out of a copy of the forum.

Fair enough. The new system on Pantheon would, for all intents, strip the formatting that makes the Truth statements work as influence. They will just show as rainbow text. If this is impossible, Pantheon will probably do whatever they can in their power to block all access to this forum.

It's possible to strip out the truth rainbow formatting, or change it to something that displays mere ordinary rainbow text.
Also, on consideration, I've decided that the mirror probably does not prevent Esthfora from customizing her censorship per user. Hadassah still gets unfiltered content, as will anyone else who deliberately opts out of protection, but other Pantheon forum users accessing the mirror will receive the same protection as anybody. If that suits you, of course. If the mirror does affect her ability to protect forum users, Esthfora will point that out; otherwise she won't mention it.

I didn't intend for it to prevent Esthfora from doing her job so that is completely fine by me.

If she was restricted to only affecting forum content in basically possible ways via server access, the mirror would be beyond her reach and she'd have to do all her filtering before things were copied. But she isn't, so it works fine.

I've now set Backstage so that posting here won't increase the public post count. However, this seems not to retroactively de-count existing Backstage posts. Please pretend not to notice the discrepancy between the displayed post count and the actual number of in-character posts, and if it eventually does recalculate, please consider the decrease to be retroactive.

On second thought, I don't like that that would mean new OOC accounts would be permanently stuck at "Lurker". Switching it back, please just ignore the discrepancy.

If you succeeded in fixing the postcount discrepancy (which I definitely have no idea how to do), could you then make a usergroup for OOC accounts that let them be something other than "Lurker"?
