What is Peaches 'n' Stink?

Peaches 'n' Stink is a link aggregation Internet forum that has posts and nested comments. Most other forums show all content and admins blacklist spam. We show no content, there are no admins and each user must whitelist other users in order to see their content.

Posts

Posts are the main way to submit content. All topics are allowed (unless illegal). You must be logged in to create a post. Use new post in the site navigation to go to the create post form. Posts have a title, link, content and a group. Only title is required. The home page displays all posts from all users.

There are four ways to sort posts. These sorting options are available at the top of the home page, at the top of group pages (e.g. r/meta), and when using the /posts API call. Here is a description of each sorting option:

• Newest: This is a reverse chronological ordering based on the post time, and this is also the default.
• Oldest: This is a chronological ordering based on the post time.
• Comments: This ordering is based on the number of comments a post has. The posts with the most comments will appear first.
• Last Comment: This ordering is based on the last comment time for the post. The post with the most recent comment will appear first.

Comments

You can write comments on posts and other comments. You must be logged in to create a comment. If you're logged in, then there's a comment form at the top of each post and comment page, and there are "reply" links below each comment.

Inbox

The inbox shows all comments that have been made directly on your posts and comments.

Formatting

These are the available formatting rules for posts and comments:

• All newlines are automatically preserved.
• You can use ```pre and ``` to preserve spaces/whitespace for a group of lines. ```pre must come first on its own line and ``` must come last on its own line. All whitespace in between will be preserved. This is intended for writing computer programming source code.
• You can create hyperlinks by putting brackets before the URL. For example like this: []https://www.mysite.com. If you want to use custom text put it in the brackets, e.g.: [green]http://colors.com/green.

Groups

When you create a post you can add it to a group (this is optional). Each group has its own page with all of its posts. For example, the meta group. Groups display to the right of the post time for each post; click these links to go to the group's page!

Following

On the right side of usernames there is a plus or minus button. You can follow the respective user with the plus button. The minus button unfollows. You can only see posts and comments that have been posted by users that you're following. You can manage who you're following by using following in the site navigation (if you're logged in).

Settings

You can access the settings in the site navigation. You can use the settings even if you're logged out. If you are logged in, then there is an additional settings page for username. The available settings are:

• Time Zone: this will adjust the time that is displayed for each post and comment.
• Following List: this determines which list of users you will use. You can use your own list (the users you follow) or another user's list. You can only see posts and comments made by users on the selected list.
• Site Width: you can use this setting to set the site width. Valid values are 500-1000 or blank. If you use a number between 500-1000 then that will be the site width in pixels and the site will be horizontally centered. If this setting is left blank then the site will take up the entire browser width. The default value is 600.
• View Mode: this affects how posts and comments display that are from unfollowed users; "locked" completely hides these posts and comments, while "discover" will show these posts and comments but only with the username and time. There is a shortcut to toggle this option at the top of every list of posts and comments.
• Replying to Comments: this affects how the comment reply links work. If you select "basic" then comment reply links will take you to a comment form on a different page. If you select "quick" then comment reply links will immediately open a comment form under the reply link. The default is "quick". This is only for logged in users.
• Username: You can use this setting to change your username. This is only for logged in users. This setting has its own page.

Editing

You can edit your posts and comments anytime you want. For posts, the edit link is to the right of the comment count. And for comments the edit link is to the right of the permalink and reply links. Currently there is no delete post or delete comment - but you can delete content via editing.
