ListNook

jambarama Dec 9, 2009 +18

How does the CSS in pics work? I see the little label, but how is it determining what is NSFW? Is it just labeling posts with the letters NSFW? Can I see the regex? Obviously we'd have to turn of compressed link display to see the label, but do we also need to allow sublistnooks to show custom styles? EDIT: Awesome update too, thanks for being so responsive to the community!

They had a really nifty hack (which I partially stole -- thanks [chromakode](http://www.listnook.com/user/chromakode) ) that looks like this: a.comments[href*="nsfw"]:before { content: 'NSFW'; padding-right: 1em; text-decoration: overline underline; color: red } We used the same rule minus the href selector, substituting an additional over18 class on links (which we added for this purpose): .link.over18 a.comments:before { content: 'NSFW'; padding-right: 1em; color: red }

Funny, that, though, considering those are probably the people who actually are stuck at work using a shitty browser... I think we may have to reassess. ;)

chromakode Dec 9, 2009 +9

Glad you liked my hack. :) Since we were already traveling into the weird-css-features zone by doing the `href` attribute selector, I didn't worry about browser compatibility too much when using `:before`. Now that the tag has graduated from hack status, to satisfy those pesky IE6 and accessibility users, you might have to actually include the "NSFW" text in the markup (perhaps within an , or as an icon?). Heck, given listnook's [current google status](http://www.google.com/search?q=nsfw) for the term, it might even increase traffic... ;)

KeyserSosa Dec 9, 2009 +3

Is it ok if I'm a little sad that the HTML spec has an `acronym` tag but the best way to embed videos into a page involves dealing with flash...? We're going to give it another pass now that this is up there (as always got a lot of great suggestions by deploying something that worked but was hacky ;). Adding actual text seems like a reasonable idea here as well.

So why is it labeling [this](http://www.listnook.com/r/drunk/comments/ackh9/i_suddenly_love_guinness/) as NSFW? Actually it's labeling every submission in [/r/drunk](http://www.listnook.com/r/drunk/) as NSFW. Is it because /r/drunk is an over18 sublistnook? I didn't even realize it was. ....That sees like a bit much to label every text only post saying "hey, I'm drunk" as NSFW.

4

KeyserSosa Dec 9, 2009 +9

Yup. At the moment it assumes that everything on an over18 sublistnook is necessarily NSFW.

9

ungoogleable Dec 9, 2009 +2

What's the point of having an 18+ sublistnook now? I presumed there was some legal obligation about keeping NSFW content off the logged-out front page.

2

KeyserSosa Dec 9, 2009 +5

More like keeping *p**** off of the front page, yes. We're considering adding a feature independent of the over18 requirement akin to "please don't show my sublistnook in the default listing!" to deal with things like what happened to FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU a couple of weeks ago.

I think you should give more credit to chromakode. He took an abstract idea I thought up and actually *made* it, within the bleedin' *hour*.

13

KeyserSosa Dec 9, 2009 +8

I didn't know the back story. I just know we liked it, saw a comment attributing it to chromakode (he knows how awesome the admins think he is -- why I linked out to him in the first place), and thought it useful to percolate up to the main CSS.

8

BritishEnglishPolice Dec 9, 2009 +9

Ah, basically it was the annoyance of every NSFW submission having loads of reports, so I asked chromakode if there was a way to tag them on the AskListnook IRC... he gave it within the hour *and* a script to deal with mass reports as when I first came to pics the filter had a few hundred to deal with. So to make it underline+overline all I have to do is use the new .link.over18 thingy?

9

KeyserSosa Dec 9, 2009 +5

Yup. You should be able to do something like: .link.over18 a.comments:before { text-decoration: overline underline; }

BritishEnglishPolice Dec 9, 2009 +2

Cool stuff, thanks. The initial idea I had was to make the text of a submission red... a bit too intrusive, you think?

KeyserSosa Dec 9, 2009 +3

We mocked it up and thought it made them a little too obvious. If anything, we were considering making them `opacity: 0.5`. ;)

I won't comment on the truth of that, but regardless, our budget for 2010 already assumed they would be gone. Since Conde pays the bills, they get to set the budget.

But semi-seriously, has ad-revenue/page impressions also doubled to match, or is listnook now just pushing more data/doing more calculation per page view? If so, on what? Thumbnails? Also, can you provide some neat graphs to show where those new users/traffic is coming from? Then we can have another 'listnook is becoming more like digg/4chan' fight, but with pretty graphs this time.

Ok, let's start from the beginning. We all know that Google is more than a search engine; we do use it as provider for email, mapping, news and many other services. Google is now also a free proxy service. Proxy is a device that stands between a PC and the internet, providing all the connections to the world wide web. What a proxy does is to receive all data from a requested site, so when you access web pages all data come from proxy. What's the purpose for Google as a proxy? We often use office/school/university connections, usually those services are set to provide more safety, blocking the access to undesidered web sites (the "black list"). What you can do now is use Google translator service (language tools) as a proxy to bypass the restrictions set for our connection! You just need to type the following URL: http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u=www.forbiddensite.com (www.forbiddensite.com stands for the URL you need to go to...) What you'll get is the translation (english to english!) of the page you want to see... your connection is directed to a google.com page so this page won't be blocked (would be blocked only with google.com on the black list), no matter what's the content.

thernkworks Dec 9, 2009 +4

I know someone else mentioned this, but would it be possible to make the safe for work option IP-specific? It would be nice to have listnook automatically be SFW at work and NSFW back at home.

4

KeyserSosa Dec 9, 2009 +11

Hope you don't mind if I answer "one step at a time". :) One way to do this would be to have the preference option just enable a front page toggle button (say "at work"/"p*** ok"?) and have that button drop a cookie which stores your preference. Not to suggest we didn't want to do it that way, but this way was way easier, and given the demand for the feature, we thought it best to just get it working first.

11

BoonTobias Dec 9, 2009 +1

You do know that when I have "I am over eighteen" unchecked, it still shows nsfw stuff, right? Let's say i have r/boobies in my subscription, unchecking the "if you're over 18" box won't do anything, it'll still show me boobies at work, please fix this.

1

KeyserSosa Dec 9, 2009 +2

I'd rather fix this by making it so that when you hit the over18 redirect, you can't subscribe to the over18 sublistnook in the right box. If you've selected "I'm over 18", subscribed, and then unchecked "over 18" in your preferences, I'm not sure what the correct behavior should be. That said, I agree that there should be more interaction between those two preference (much like the way we disable thumbnail preferences when compressed links are enabled). As I said, though, we just wanted to get something out the door as fast as possible to deal with the need. We'll probably also be rolling a fix soon from the other angle, so that every link on an over18 listing doesn't have to have a big red NSFW next to it (which just looks kinda silly).

2

BoonTobias Dec 9, 2009 +2

You see, all we want to do is save the p*** to view later at home, is that so much to ask? Thanks

2

thernkworks Dec 9, 2009 +1

Yeah, "one step at a time" is a good answer. I just wanted to make sure you'd heard this suggestion. And I know everybody else has said this, but I think that it's really impressive how you guys will implement a suggestion from the listnook community within a day.

acrasial Dec 9, 2009 +1

I wonder if extending the User-Agent of browsers to pass that kind of data would be useful/within the standard? Or maybe an extension to the HTTP Accept request-header? One way to make it work specifically for Listnook would be to use separate accounts at work/home, but I'm sure most would like to stick to one account. Maybe someone could make a greasemonkey script to add a button to toggle it on every page?

> Now, about that search function... I believe that was solved: http://www.searchlistnook.com/ But in all seriousness, that problem is: 1) Harder to solve 2) Not as bad as everyone says when you realize you need to use lucene syntax, not google syntax.

129

jaggederest Dec 9, 2009 +11

It's pretty bad. When I search for a single-word term, and articles with that exact term in the title don't show up, that's called ineffective search. Maybe you need to default to a fuzzy search. Though I understand why you don't, since it's a lot higher overhead.

11

ItsNotRocketSurgery Dec 9, 2009 +3

This should be fairly straight forward to implement a pretty good fix. Lucene supports boosting parts of the query. One could implement a query builder on the backend that compiles a more complex query that boost results when the search terms are contained in the title (or other important fields). For example: if someone searched for "oktoberfest", the search on the backend could turn into: oktoberfest OR title:"oktoberfest"^4 This means that any item in the resultset that has oktoberfest in the title appear 4 times more relevant. If this was done automatically on the backend, the user wouldn't even need to know about it.

3

jaggederest Dec 9, 2009 +3

I guess what I'm saying is that something must be wrong when I search for a reasonably uncommon search term, get back 4 results, and none of them are the one I was looking for. It's not a matter of boosting or not, it's simply incomplete results. A 'where title like "%string%"' search would produce better results, and that's hardly the height of search effectiveness.

3

infinite Dec 9, 2009 +1

Xapian /haystack address this by basically creating a new column called "text" which might look like "{{ title}} {{ title}} {{ title}} {{ title}} {{ body }}" so the title is boosted 4 times so if you do a keyword search it prefers the title. But then they'd have to re-index everything which would probably take a week or so.

1

ItsNotRocketSurgery Dec 9, 2009 +1

According to the Lucene query syntax, this can be done without a reindex by building it into the query.

1

ItsNotRocketSurgery Dec 9, 2009 +1

hmm except that the tittle: field doesn't seem to be supported. If fields are in fact supported on the client side, which ones?

volando34 Dec 9, 2009 +9

i'm sure there were some technical reasons, but overall why would you choose to use something as obscure to most people? google's way is now the de-facto standard on the web :-\

9

jedberg Dec 9, 2009 +12

The main reason was because lucene is open source and google us not. That being said, we need to do a better job of letting people know about the syntax and with the ui in general.

12

metachor Dec 9, 2009 +3

Besides documentation or an improved UI, another approach is to use a parser generator ike ANTLR to create your own front-end search syntax that translates to the Lucene syntax behind the scenes. We do this for an application at my job, which has a custom search syntax for the particular business needs of the app, but uses Lucene on the backend.

3

[deleted] Dec 9, 2009 +1

A little documentation -- if not even a UI that hides some of the Lucene syntax -- would go a long way. One big question: do you support fielded searches? What are the available fields? Thanks :)

1

ItsNotRocketSurgery Dec 9, 2009 +1

Or how about just an advanced search form that allows users to do things like this without having to know Lucene?

If you type *blu?t*, that Lucene shit gonna know you ain't really lookin' fo' some b****-ass *question mark* but that you want to find anything where that ? is actually some other letter. It will find posts that have the word *blunt* in them. It will also find things with *blurt*, though, too, because that is also another thing that straight up matches. If you use a \* instead of a ?, then it'll find shit where any number of letters be in there instead o' that jive turkey ?. That means it will find *blurt*, *blunt*, fools blurtin' shit out about they blunts, and even crazy shit like bluemanblunt - which I just made up but I also hope is real - because 'emanblun' got found where the \* was before, you know?

I too, have never even heard of using lucene syntax.

[deleted] Dec 9, 2009 +5

also being unfamiliar with this query syntax ... it seems we'd need to know some schema information in order to successfully query given the example for field searching (which would be immensely helpful for searching listnook): *title:"The Right Way" AND text:go*

lactomar Dec 9, 2009 +4

tl;dr: what are the useful fields for searching listnook with lucene?

4

[deleted] Dec 9, 2009 +7

[Lucene Syntax](http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_3_2/queryparsersyntax.html)

> I believe that was solved: http://www.searchlistnook.com/ I had no idea this existed! Sweet. This returned the exact submission I was looking for as the 3rd listing. If you can somehow link this search onto what I call the "information pane" (near to where my karma score is displayed), then I promise to never harass you on this subject again.

Jedberg, I created a search-plugin for this issue. #[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/52539/](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/52539/) #**[screenshot](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/images/p/39430/1259668858)** Tip #1: Quickly access the Search Bar by pressing CTRL+K. #Tip #2: You can then cycle through available search-engines using CTRL+UP or CTRL+DOWN. [and here's a mirror download link](http://www.listnook.com/r/listnook.com/comments/aco11/heres_a_goddamn_search_plugin_to_search_listnook/c0gxayo)

Offtopic : is it possible convert queries from Google's (more popular) syntax to lucene syntax?

2

jedberg Dec 9, 2009 +1

That's not offtopic, and may be possible in fact.

1

sqjtaipei Dec 9, 2009 +1

oh, lucene... I've been using Yoda syntax. what's this 'google' you speak of?

1

Neuraxis Dec 9, 2009 +1

Agreed. Thank to the admins for being so quick about this.

liberal_libertarian Dec 9, 2009 +1

What about all those interviews we're all waiting on.

1

jedberg Dec 9, 2009 +1

I think there is only one that isn't up yet, and it was just recorded. They take time to import and upload.

hueypriest Dec 9, 2009 +1

There's 2 which have been recorded, but not published. They are coming soon.

This is one of the many reasons I truly love listnook. Someone can propose a change and have that idea voted to the front page, and within a day that change is implemented within the website. That is user power, and it makes me feel empowered. I like feeling empowered. Thanks, listnook!

no1name Dec 9, 2009 +3

People have been asking this for YEARS,

3

woo_hoo Dec 9, 2009 +2

True. Even so, try sending an email to google to request something be made more user-friendly. Report results back here. We'll be waiting.

2

no1name Dec 9, 2009 +1

Actually as someone who does work with Google, they can be very responsive. However that does not mean your comparison has any validity. google /= listnook

1

woo_hoo Dec 9, 2009 +1

> google /= listnook Errr...that is my point exactly

1

havocs Dec 9, 2009 +7

this is why listnook is awesome. Any site that reacts quickly to the demands of its audience is a site that is successful. Bravo listnook

Thank you very much listnook for listening to us!

Every time I see this, I see "we added a safe word," and I wonder what they're doing that needs a safe word.

stesch Dec 9, 2009 +2

Now I'm forced to log in to read Listnook? That's bad, because at work I can't lock the computer. So I'm constantly logging in and out of Listnook … We have no problem with NSFW in Germany. And some stuff is only "mildly NSFW" anyways. Yes, I know. You can't please every user. :-)

2

InAFewWords Dec 9, 2009 +2

Tried using the search bar to find the original post leading up to the fix. Also can we have a reverse option of only showing NSFW links from all sub-listnooks that we subscribe to. I like my NSFW /r/programming articles

2

[deleted] Dec 9, 2009 +3

excellent work guys. how about now adding a 'the boss is watching' button that instantly makes listnook look like a spreadsheet?

funkah Dec 9, 2009 +1

My problem is that I would want this setting to behave differently depending on where I am - on at work, off at home. I could register separate accounts for each place, but one of the things I use listnook for is to save links. I like saving things I can't read while I'm at work (either too long or not appropriate), so I can read them at home. Multiple accounts would make that a pain.

1

Aradon Dec 9, 2009 +5

Thanks!

[deleted] Dec 9, 2009 +5

Now we need a s*** for home option... let's see some embiggening.

phanboy Dec 9, 2009 +1

From the guy who most recently requested some NSFW filtering, thank you! I think shielding the uninitiated is probably a good idea, and I have no problems with letting people turning on fap-friendly images. Now I just have to find me a job.

1

dhpye Dec 9, 2009 +2

Yay! A public option passed!

2

archaios7 Dec 9, 2009 +1

How about letting the NSFW check box have a time? I like to browse listnook outside of work and don't mind the NSFW content but from 8-5 PM it would be nice if it could be automatically toggled by user selected times.

1

belandil Dec 9, 2009 +1

Very nice. Now we need a way for non-submitters to mark a post as NSFW if it is appropriate. That way the tag can be automatically added once a sufficient number or portion of users mark the post as NSFW.

1

Aegeus Dec 9, 2009 +1

It would be nice to have this on by default if you aren't logged in. If I'm on a public computer at school or somewhere where I don't stay logged in, NSFW images still shouldn't show up.

1

Purp Dec 9, 2009 +1

What have we learned boys and girls? The proper place for feature requests and bug reports is a continuous barrage of front-page sumbmissions, not the feature request or bug report sites.

1

lennort Dec 9, 2009 +1

Possible bug: When hovering over the comment link, next to the NSFW tag, it underlines both items. Was this intentional, to highlight that the comments are NSFW? I'm guessing it's a bug.

1

[deleted] Dec 9, 2009 +1

But what about when someone says something like "NOT EVEN REMOTELY SAFE FOR WORK," or "AlmostSFW," or any of those variations? Or is this not even an issue?

1

Bornhuetter Dec 9, 2009 +1

Wow, much appreciated! What would be an amazing next step would be to have a workmode/homemode where you can subscribe to different sublistnooks etc

1

Kuiper Dec 9, 2009 +1

You could achieve the same thing by using two separate accounts.

1

chrispoole Dec 9, 2009 +1

This is great. It'd be nice to have a sub-setting, allowing NSFW links to be hidden during office hours of the visitor's local time.

1

rhammonsster Dec 9, 2009 +1

Giving me the l****** numbers a week before they are announced would be nice too. Thanks Listnook for the site update.

1

je255j Dec 9, 2009 +1

I like the bolded red NSFW tags. It makes them more obvious for those trying to avoid them. ...and those who aren't. ;)

tinybear Dec 9, 2009 +1

This is just exceptionally awesome. Sometimes I get embarassed when Listnook loads and there's a ton of cleavage. And I don't ever, *ever* want to be ashamed of my love of Listnook.

1

[deleted] Dec 9, 2009 +1

Wow, thanks listnook for becoming more prudish. I love yellow cellophane cheese like stories.

f****** FAIL, listnook! You gave up to the pussies of the world! Like all the emos werent enough..

Whoah - somebody read [my idea](http://www.listnook.com/r/listnook.com/comments/ac1qk/feature_request_if_nsfw_is_in_the_title_dont_show/c0gu8h5) - cool!

And no one's going to say something is safe for work when it isn't, right?

Can we make [tag1, tag2, tag3, ...] the official tagging syntax?
