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
The General Thread
By tradition, we call each General 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.
CAP 3
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.

http://jthnx5wyvjvzsxtu.onion/midnightriders/index.html.
Clearnet is best but is not always available. If it's down, try TOR. CAP 1
Tor Browser isolates each website you visit so third-party trackers and ads can't follow you. Any cookies automatically clear when you're done browsing. So will your browsing history."
When accessing 8kun boards in TOR, anons
must fill out more captchas than usual
may not post images (except for YT videos).
TOR is slow than clearnet.
Download full version of TOR here: https://www.torproject.org/

TOR via Brave Browser
''not the "full" version, but sufficient for our purposes*
Download & install Brave browser: https://brave.com/ CAP 1
Open Brave browser and hit CONTRL-SHIFT-N to open a New Private Window in TOR. CAP 2

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.
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
Posting Tips
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 CAPs 2 & 3
VIDEOS: 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 4
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 5
Generally:
Don't forget the SAUCE (source info) including a DATE
Usered textor bold (etc) to highight titles and key ideas
SEE ALSO Nine Tips for Note-taking on MNR to see what get's notabled.
LINKING
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)
Different board on 8kun: >>>/comms/7366, >>>/qrmemes/3337, >>>/qresearch/12527286, >>>/qrb/10890
Non-8kun image board: https://endchan.net/qrbunker/res/5695.html#6207
LINKING, con't.
Convo between two anons CAP 1
Post with many responses CAP 2
Post responding to two different posts CAP 3
Q & A post CAP 4
A multi-page post CAP 5
Post size is limited but post can be connected.
Outer limits:
- 4700-5000 chars
- 5 images
- mp4s smaller than 16megs
Practice linking HERE: >>>/midnightriders/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 = 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 - that really helps.
To turn it on, go to the Options menu (upper right hand of screen) and select Color IDs. CAP 2
You can also identify all the posts by one user by selecting and HOLDING the UID. CAP 3
You can also search for any string (include an UID number) with F3 or Control-F. CAP 4
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 5
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: https://8kun.top/qrmemes/catalog.html. CAP 2
Praying - No pray instructions needed, but here's some heavenly inspiration. CAP 3
Other ways:
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)
If you're looking, there's always something to do.
Tips for Note-taking on MNR
1-13-2021
GENERALLY
1. Use plain text file for taking notes.
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 notes 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. If you forget, anons or shills will always let you know.
