Changelog

There will be planned downtime this Saturday (9/4) starting at 1am UTC to deploy several requested changes. It will not extend past 7am UTC.

Edit: Uhh, 9/5 1am UTC. My bad, messed up the date in the timezone conversion.

kuilin

Downtime is done. No material changes, except for the domain name that people see. I separated my personal site from chocolateclash, which now lives at https://chocolateclash.com on a different server, moving my personal site to a much smaller instance. Redirects are set up appropriately, and also extra features like notifications, secure.chocolateclash.com, etc are migrated accordingly. Please let me know if you see any issues.

This was NOT the expected ban notifications/re-subdomaining update, which doesn't require much downtime. This split required a large amount of downtime because I also split the database, and didn't want to bother with concurrency issues.

kuilin

Fixed mentions to old domain in disclaimers
Fixed null player tag being sent to Discord in notification upon clearing a note

kuilin

Added a warning for overwriting a bad flag (not white or green) with a flag of less severity. It says:

Warning: Downgrading flags using overwrite notes is not allowed after the FWA-General note split. Unless you are doing something highly unusual, submitting this note breaks the rules.

If you are enacting a successful appeal, use the Clear feature on the appealed flag.

If you are sure you want to proceed, push OK and then Post again.

kuilin

Added "1945 cross match ping" role in the Discord server, and the ability for the automatic cross match detection webhook to ping roles. Let me know if you want this ping role, I'll set it up for each league as requested.
Added Accepted, Rejected, and Bad Format sub-tags for ban appeals for the forums, as opposed to just Completed. Renamed Discussion tag to Policy Discussion and made it blue to distinguish it from sub-tags.

kuilin

Added a warning to the edit clan page for cross-league blacklists so admins (hopefully) mess that up less often.
Added highlighting to the https://chocolateclash.com/cc_n/flagged.php page to make it more useful with the split bans.
Also fixed the old issue on that page where updating would get caught on banned clanless people.

kuilin

Autocomplete is back, but only on the Clan box. Type the first half of a clan name or tag, and watch the autocomplete box populate.
Moved archive from the other domain to a private instance, with this site proxying it. This allows for secure.chocolateclash.com to work properly with it, and also removes the janky way we were securing it. You will need to update your links, if you saved any links directly to the archive domain. For the near future though, they will redirect back.
Cleaned up a few small tools, all of which haven't been used in at least a year. Let me know if anything breaks, but I doubt I removed anything that anyone would notice or miss.

There will be a few hours of planned downtime this weekend for database upgrades and maintenance. I don't expect it to take long, and will avoid sync times that I'm aware of, but let me know if you have any particular requirements.

kuilin

Fixed issue where using the mass flag tool caused all flags to be entered as legacy flags. All the affected flags have been fixed. Thanks to the person who reported that bug.

Please update your links if you have any https://archive.sunsetclash.com/-prefixed links anywhere! After this weekend, instead of directly redirecting, there will be an interstitial page, so that I can eventually sunset (heh) the domain.

kuilin

Downgrading member flag status using notes is now no longer possible. Ask me if you need to do that.
Removed the ability for heads to expunge notes. Ask me if you need to do that.
Renamed Policy Discussion tag to just Discussion, it's shorter and not all discussion are policy-related.

kuilin

Added interstitial to archive.sunsetclash.com - forgot about from a week ago, oops.

There will be planned downtime this weekend at 10am CST for moving stuff around. I don't expect it to take more than a few hours, but who knows.

kuilin

kuilin Migration took longer than expected, will continue tomorrow at the same time.

kuilin

Stuff is finally all migrated over! There shouldn't be any user-visible changes (except for fixing longtime bugs, like navigation in the archive bringing you back to the main site), but if there's any issues, please say so. This should speed up page load time and whatnot.

kuilin

There will be downtime Tuesday afternoon, EST for a feature change.

kuilin

Planned downtime moved to Wednesday afternoon, EST, due to unforeseen issues.

kuilin

It'll be going down in an hour for the feature change. Since this will likely be extended downtime, https://secure.chocolateclash.com will still work for most of the downtime. However, nothing changed on that system will stick after the change, so please save updating records for afterwards.

kuilin

Large change today. This implements the full FWA split as previously advertised and agreed upon by all leagues, FWA included.

Going forward:

Which side you are on depends on what domain you use, cc.chocolateclash.com for General and fwa.chocolateclash.com for FWA. Since almost nobody was using it, secure.chocolateclash.com has been discontinued - let me know if you actually need it.
League associations are now separate. Each side of the system can independently set a league for any clan, and it will show on their side. If a league is not set (None) on one side and set on another, the other side's status will be shown. When this happens, (Inferred) shows up on the clan page to let you know it was inferred from the other side.
Small exception: If both sides set a clan as cross-league blacklisted, and the extra text is different, both sides will see both extra texts. The other side's text will be prefixed by "Split" in this case.
Member notes and colors, including flags, bans, warning, and staff, are separate. Member statuses only exist on their own sides of the system now.
The clearing system for member notes is now removed, it was a clumsy hack anyways. Member flag colors now work how they used to work before all of this, which is, only the most recent note on a member's profile determines the member's color.
User accounts are now separate. With exception of my account only, you can only log in on the side that your account is associated with.
Player and clan sync status is now separate. If either side sets a player or clan to be synchronized, it will be synchronized.
Some small features were removed: Rehab, Days Clean, Last In Blacklisted Clan, streaks heuristic log, note clearing, around half the API exports (only exports that have not been used in the past moth were cleaned up).
"Ban Appeal Info" now links directly to the FWA Appeals band on the FWA side. It links to the forum on the other side as usual.
Both sides can access the archive as usual, and the archive is the same for both sides.
The Top Donators page is calculated from the non-FWA side's data, since separately indexing that is a huge hassle for only that one page. Let me know if FWA needs that.

How information was migrated over:

FWA and FWA BL associations, have been moved to the FWA side. Cross-league BL has been copied to both sides, which means editing one side does not change the other. All other associations remain on the non-FWA side.
Legacy flags have been duplicated into two flags, one for each side. Non-legacy flags have been placed only on the correct side and are not visible on the other side.
All users have been split, placing each on the correct side.
Player sync status has been copied to both sides irrespective of reason for sync status (ban, etc), to be conservative about that bit.
Cleared notes still exist and display as cleared and whatnot, but clearing now has no effect, and the color of the most recent note on each side is now that side's player flag for that player. Note that all clearing notes are either General or FWA and so only exist on the clearing side, so except for the one edge case where a member is staff on one side and banned on the other, no manual adjustments are needed.

kuilin

Added checkbox to split page to remember your choice, and updated the numbers.

kuilin

Fixed minor bug related to split redirection and URL parameters.

kuilin

Fixed bug in clanlist where an inferred opponent clan's league does not show up. This was a bug, not a feature.
