Catalog vs Index view

Board Overview

The /MNR/ Catalog looks like this: CAP 1

From the CATALOG, you can easily get into threads

• There are two kinds of threads: GENERAL and SUBJECT threads.

• The General (main) thread is the one most newcomers seek.

• All the General threads have a blue Punisher image - just like the one in this thread.

• The "live" one will have less than 200 posts ("R") & no lock icon. CAP 2, CAP 3

The General Thread

• By custom, we call each thread a BREAD and the anon who manages (bakes) it a BAKER.

• That's why the top section is called the DOUGH.

• The dough contains news & resources; it's followed by the area where anons post.

The Dough

The dough is the heart of the bread.

It contains Q drops, notables & resources useful for diggs & memes making.

It also reminds us of why we came and what we are here for: the championing of liberty, justice, and truth.

Staff, bakers and anons protect the dough and the traditions that have shaped it.

We understand that it symbolizes the larger cause for which we came.

Thus, we do not alter it lightly.

Our respect for the dough is reflected in our respect for those who post here.

We all have a contribution to make, whether as an observant lurqer or in some other role.

We welcome all who share our values and support the cause of liberty.

Shadilay, anons!!

The dough has a lot to it; anons come to know it over time.

Dough Basics

• first 5 or 6 posts in the bread

• posted by the baker on duty

• passed by uploading to an online 'bin' - we have our own 'qbin': qanonbin.com.

Anyone can look at it or download a copy

• posting begins AFTER the dough is posted, not during. (Those who forget are breadshitters.)

CAP 1

Dough Pages

Page 1 - Q posts & other Q-info

Page 2 - Notable posts by anons for recent breads

Page 3 - Memo resources & highlighted subject threads

Page 4 - Q graphics & other tools, baking instructions

Page 5 - Dough post plus qbin (qanonbin.com) link

CAP 2

After the dough is posted, anons can commence to dig-meme-pray and shitpost.

Breads are currently about 200 posts long; after that, the bread is 'baked' (packaged for upload and then uploaded to qanonbin.com) and a new bread is created.

Board Roles

Board Owner - (BO) owns the board and has control of its settings. BOs may be either handsoff or participatory. MNR Board OwnerTom is a baker and active participant.

Board Volunteer(s) - (BV) can do many of the same function as BO (edit posts, delete illegal posts or images)

Reporter(s) - has limited power to change anything but can sign in as staff - which turns out to have value when the board cannot be accessed via Clearnet, see >>42059.

Baker(s) - copypaste's ("copy pasta's") the old dough, coordinates the bake, collect notables, updates the dough, bakes the bread, and posts the new dough at the start of next bread. Generally works with staff and non-baking anons to ensure the board functions smoothly.

Note-takers - collect notable posts from anons for bakers, especially during nighttime and slow shifts.

Diggers, specialized diggers (planefags, boatfags, etc.), memers, prayers, lurqers - all of us play our roles, everyone on this board has a contribution to make.

CAP 1

POSTING

Anatomy of a Post

Here is the post, in case you wanna look it up: >>>/mnr/41565

Just picked a random post to demonstrate how they work. CAP 1

Line 1 = Date, day, tie, UID (user id for this thread only), number of posts by this user, post id, two respondent post numbers CAP 2

LINK Examples

Image boards make it easy to post both text and images.

But also to convo with one or more other users so cooperative projects are possible (along with shitposting, kek).

It can be confusing at first, here's some info and examples.

How to Link on 8kun

Same board, same bread: >>40999

Same board, previous bread: >>41795 PB [this example from MR Gen'l thread]

Same board, different bread: >>41524 (TOR thread)

Post size are limited but can be connected.

Limits:

- 4700-5000 chars

- 5 images

- mp4s smaller than 16megs

Practice linking HERE: >>25 Pass the Exam thread

Who's Who on an Anon Board?

On an anonymous board, how to do convo with other users?

Thru UIDs - Unique IDentifyers.

These are the numbers at the top of each post that look like this: ID: 55364f CAP 1

If you have COLORED ID's turned on, they look more distinctive - which really helps.

To turn it on, go to the Options menu (upper right hand of screen) and select Color IDs. CAP 2

Green YOUs - these show when YOU are making a post or receiving a response. Helps attract the eye so you don't miss returned messages. CAP 3

You can also identify all the posts by one user by selecting and HOLDING the UID. CAP 4

You can also search for any string (include an UID number) with F3 or Control-F. CAP 5

Ways to Contribute on MNR

8chan tradition says "lurq more" (like up to a year!)

But we need help now.

Lurqing is fine but if you wanna jump in, here's some ideas:

1. Dig - intrepid diggers can't lurq long - see below on ways to 'package' diggs here.

• Key resource = Qresear.ch (18mil records; shows if something's already been posted) CAP 1

• Kinds of sauce (evidence) that make a notable noteworthy >>>/comms/9655

• Advanced Google searching protocols - https://pastebin.com/raw/JuK0xUDb

• Overcoming paywalls >>>/comms/10844

2. Meme - if yer a meme maker, an image board should be seem pretty homey. CAP 2

/qrmemes/ has over 1000 memes arranged by topic: https://8kun.top/qrmemes/catalog.html

3. Pray - 'nuff said.

4. Note-taking - info specialist? Learn to take notes. Good note-takers are always in demand.

(Notes = the running tally of notable posts for each bread that go to qresear.ch and other aggregators)

• Nine Baker Tips for Note-taking CAP 3

• Muh Collector "how to" on notables >>>/comms/9006, >>>/comms/9009

• Bakers on what they look for in notables >>>/comms/8351, >>>/comms/8315, >>>/comms/8698

5. Bake - great way to really understand what we do here.

There's a "Learn to bake" section right before the Dough post in all the General breads. CAP 4 >>42228

Lotsa bakers here willing to help.

Dough from last year's baking class has slides & videos on how to bake: >>>/comms/40980

6. Board support - always stuff to do, even for newbies. Ideas:

• collect missing sauce for articles, digs (source links)

• add more sauce (articles, images, etc.)

• add videos (from Twitter, YT, mp4s too)*

• proofread notables (bakers really appreciate)

• look for other roles to fill (archiving breads, screenshotting shill threads for deletion, posting new resources)

*I use Snagit for screenshots ($49 but no ongoing cost)

Best free screenshot video software: https://www.techradar.com/news/the-best-free-screen-recorder

See also >>>/comms/14921

Posting Tips for Digs, Articles, Tweets, Videos

• ARTICLES: include the title, date, and source - text and images add interest. CAP 1

• TWEETS: include entire tweet & screenshot if possible (good to include the text not just the cap if not phonefagging CAP 2

• VIDS: include the title, length, and at least a short description (baker usually will not watch vids wo/any description unless the content is obvious & valued) CAP 3

• DIGS: include main idea or short description along with the details. If it's an anon analysis, try to include sauce to support your ideas or links to past diggs. CAP 4

Generally:

• Don't forget the sauce (source info) including a DATE

• Usered textor bold (etc) to highight titles and key ideas

Nine Tips for Note-taking on MNR

1-13-2021

GENERALLY

1. Use plain text file for notables.

Avoid Word or other word processors, plain text is better for chan markup.

2. Post notes at least 3 to 4 times during the bread, including a semi-final @170 and final @185+.

Don't stick anything iffy in at the last moment, make sure anons can vet it first.

3. Make notables easy to find with RED TEXT or BOLD.

Also tag to DOUGH post.

DECIDING WHAT TO NOTABLE

4. On MNR, most newsy posts are notable (relevant and sauce)

But it's easy to miss things like anon analyses or stuff wo/formatting - eyez on.

5. For noms wo/a description (usually anon diagrams, etc.), ask for one.

It's anons' responsibility to summarize a main point.'

6. For biased or wordy MSM headlines, feel free to do 'damage control'

If necessary, edit the title to be more neutral (not insulting) or shorter if wordy (or add important details if missing).

7. Look for special reports: planefags, boatfags, Resignations in the News, etc.

Anons seldom nom these, except for RA's stuff if they don't see it in Notes.

8. If there is too much news & bred is fast…

…focus mainly on nommed posts, breaking news (if verified), news re Q concerns (CP, etc.).

Not a problem til now, but bread speeds are increasing - good to know what's priority.

9. Check for two things: dates and whether it's been notabled (in qresear.ch).

Easy during slow breads, hard during fast ones. Dates take priority. But if you forget, anons or shills will always let you know.

>>1903

Ways to Contribute

Digging - start with Qresear.ch to find out what's already been dug on (18mil+ posts) CAP 1

Meming - check out /qrmemes/ for 8kun meming resources. CAP 2

Praying - No need to tell anons how to pray. But a little heavenly inspiration never hurts. CAP 3

Other ideas:

• collect missing sauce for articles, digs (source links)

• add more or better sauce (articles, images, etc.)

• add videos (from Twitter, YT, mp4s too)

• add missing info or notes for videos

• proof notables (bakers will really appreciate)

• take notes for baker (valuable work that really helps)

Look for other unfilled roles to fill (archiving breads, alerting staff to shill threads to be deleted, posting new digging resources, etc.). If you're looking, there's always something to do.
