/comms/ - COMMS

Intro to Baking

Qresearch is a 24/7 beehive of activity where anons post their diggs, memes and prayers. For this to happen requires bakers–which is why they have been called "the core of this board." Bakers perform several key functions: First, they maintain the infrastructure of the board (the dough), keeping it clean, tidy, and up-to-date. Second, they manage the transition from one bread to another (baking). Third, they post notables for each bread. Last, bakers set the tone for each bread via their choice of bread title and /comms/ with posters. When all goes well, baking is a fun & exciting opportunity to serve. When things get wonky and shills attack–bakers carry on anyway. Shadilay, fellow bakers!

A Little History - the Baking Adventure

Baking is exciting but not for the faint of heart. Bakers play a key role and are therefore a natural target for shills and other Qresearch opponents. Discussion by bakers of past BO/baker habbenings: >>9206, >>9209, >>9211, >>9214, >>9218, >>9220, >>9221, >>9222, >>9280, >>9296

NEW ADDITIONS WELCOME

Welcome to baking class!

Graveyard baker here.

NB will be teaching step by step baking this time while I and other bakers/note-takers do Q&A.

Bring your questions and comments about baking, note-taking and the dough.

Here are a few questions that may be of interest right now:

* How do you deal with a laggy board when baking? How do you get the timing right?

* How do you bake from the index if the catalog is down?

* What to do when I accidentally make a duplicate bread (because of laggy board)?

* What to do "when shills attack"?

* How do you distinguish shills from disgruntled anons?

* When to ignore shills vs engaging with them?

* How can a bu baker help when board is very shilly?

* How do you determine what to notable?

* What info do you include in a notable?

* Can I just do notables, and not bake (yes)?

* How can i overcome fear of "freezing up" in the middle of a bake?

Just a few ideas to get the discussion going.

The focus in this thread is on new baker questions and concerns. If you want to discuss other issues, please use the #8 thread.

WELCOME TO BAKING CLASS !

Thank you for stepping up to help the kitchen in this time of need. Respect.

This is an informal and fun class. Feel free to ask questions, shout if or when you're stuck and remember, there are no dumb questions, ever.

There's usually plenty of flour flying around so feel free to mess up. It's how we learn.

One of our bakers usually instructs (m'self today), while GYB facilitates the Q&A and discussions. Regular bakers are also usually in-thread (dropping in when they can), helping to answering the Q&As.

So….. feel free to ask any questions about anything regarding baking, even if you're not learing to bake today.

We are all here dedicating our time to teach you and pass on our knowledge to you, new bakers. We want to help you in whichever way we can. Please give us feedback and let us know how we can.

Once you decide you're ready to bake, we will all continue to help you, so don't feel you'll be out on your own in the wild west.

Thank you bakers, thank you BO.

We'll do this module next Thursday.

Once you've completed the 2 modules you'll be ready to baker!

Ok, let's go.

Ready?

>>9854

It was nuts 2day.

>>9836

Honestly, that was a thing even before I started baking in 2018. Almost every baker had one when I started baking, and the BO/BVs suggested I get one.

Not sure, maybe another baker could correct me if I'm wrong, but it started before /qresearch/ on the other 8chan boards.

Shadilay anon. Thanks for coming. Good to see you.

>>9857

Heyy m'friend

>>9852

Baker Flash Mob

here's the closest i could come

" 'Thriller' crowd welcomes Sweet Bar Bakery to town

>>9858

I only recently in the past couple months started using a named pastebin acct. baked for a long time as a guest acct.

>>9860

NB. How are you?

>>9858

not trying to datefag or namefag but it's been a personal rule since /cbts/. will help, but only in a non user accounted capacity.

sorry.

>>9857

so was last night

how often do i handoff to you?

bred b4 had 3 dif bakers…..

and a missing dough page.

got any highlights to share?

or were u on duty when Q started?

>>9863

So did I at first, went back to baking anonymously after the baker purge.

>>9865

You do not need a pastebin account, free nor pro, to bake.

Some just like it, others don't.

But exactly I wasn't paying close attention to Q related boards back in late 2017 and before /qresearch/ due to IRL, but I knew it started before /qresearch/.

>>9865

no apology needed, it really is up to you

>>9868

many bakers were anon after baker purge

i may have baked a couple on qr that were anon (trying to stay clear of BO)

but try to ID so anons know who baker

just my way, not better or worse

>>9866

I saturated my shoft around 0630am. Board was 50+ post behind actual bred count and was heating up around 0900 edt. Didn’t miss any new bread posts either. Handed off to caker and all hell broke loose. Me, cakes and a couple other anons were moving thru some serious lagg and 502s to get posts and caps together. Quick breather and Q came back for round 2. Cakes has got to be exhausted by now.

>>9868

not interested in debating it here.

>>9873

cool deal. I'm actually here to see discussions on mitigating bad bakes.. that's this anon's main concern re: baking. so i'll be lurking until that part starts, tbh.

>>9866

U and I used to handoff a lot. We really don’t anymore. It’s been a while. :(

Crap… auto correct. I started my shift…

>>9877

>>9878

>mitigating bad bakes

you raise an interesting q

what is a bad bake? (one under lag conditions for example)

and do you want more to mitigate them or prevent them?

>>9879

i don't stay up quite that late anymore because i often take handoff from cakes at 2 am, when other nite bakers used to hand off a little later.

>>9882

autocorrect changes shift to shoft? whoa.

>>9880

>>9880

Things haven't worked today, lurk mode only. :(

>>9876

>just my way, not better or worse

Exactly.

>>9878

>>9883

>mitigating bad bakes

This usually happens during ebakes.

A "bad" bake I guess would be if it doesn't have notables from the last bread, isn't in the dough format (spacing, text edits, etc), or if it's a legitimate shill like freddy baking or something like that.

You just post a link to the fresher bread than report it to be locked.

Hello, student here, but play hookie (?) a lot.

But question, on a mac, have been using Firefox but when board is laggy and even when not, Firefox seems unstable. I'm on firefox now for this but for lurking ive been using Safari, usually pretty stable, but lately it's unstable too. Anyone else notice this?

>>9891

can talk generally, but do you have any particular concerns?

>>9893

The board has just been laggy overall. I don't think it's due to a specific browser.

I have noticed though at night it's much better than during the day.

Big props to the day bakers who have been pushing through the lag and glitches like champs.

>>9893

sorry, not a mac user.

but when you say stable, what do you mean?

when board is wonky, nothing seems stable.

is it the browser or 8kun, i wonder?

>>9883

Bad bakes:

baking during imagehost problems

baking during extreme lag conditions.

fixing mistakes post-bake

>>9891

shitty bakes are something idfferent, this anon is keeping the scope to how a legit baker can keep it rolling.

dealing with shitty unresponsive bakers is another class unto itself ;)

>>9890

Your system not working anon, or the videos?

>>9895

I think ‘slogging’ is more apropos. kek

>>9832

I don't feel tardy

kun

>>9897

>>9899

Phone fagging. At least, I"m on wifi and can ask questions. Thanks teach, glad your feeling better.

>>9897

That's what I was wonderiing, do bakers prefer a certain browser?

Safari is pretty stable but it will not play webmd vids, but firefox will, thats why I started using it.

Then we got all kinds of new users, and lag and it got unstable.

>>9891

with e-bakes:

hardest thing is arriving at say 630 and finding there is no baker, kek. real scramble, espec daytime. just grab the dough, rack my mind for bread title other than "ebake", and put in red text "i will bake this bread."

Every so often, a baker is there but hasn't formally signed in and linked to dough post, used red text, linked to notes, etc. KEK.

You ask, "is there a baker?" No reply.

Go off to set up the bake and Presto! baker appears outta nowhere–right after you're just baked.

That's one problem that could be prevented but some bakers who don't really want to bake (except in emergencies) hang back and never sign in.

>>9898

>dealing with shitty unresponsive bakers is another class unto itself

When I bake I try to be as responsive as possible, without sliding the bread which would be unproductive.

>>9900

True kek.

>>9894

I didn't ask the question, that was 8809aa

>>9895

Impressive bakin today, props to the baker.

>>9905

5:5

Understood. Thanks anon, it's good to be back.

Thanks for coming.

>>9908

Ebakes are crazy and chaotic.

I used to be prepped for an ebake all the time but now it's mostly late due to lag so I'm less prepared.

I've noticed you cant find the new bread in the catalog for like at least minute now. Before this lag you could refresh the catalog like 10 seconds after it reached 100% and it'd be there.

>>9908

Is it okay to have a title that's been used before? Do I use qresear.ch to check bread titles? Using current events like other bakers helps me find certain threads…

>>9895

Agree. Since we upped users and also since coming back online, the lag has been almost normal, as it's usually there.

I find at the end of breads things just stand still, then… woosh, 40 posts at once.

>>9898

fixing mistakes post bake:

after an e-bake, somebody's got to grab notes from pb.

Again, anons will often go grab the notes, but won't tell the baker they gonna do it. Sometimes there are several.

The other night, they did it in sequence. One came back with about 4 notes; then another with another 4 or so; then a third with a few more. Eventually, we had a bun.

Fixing dough mistakes is a different thing.

Bred numbers or titles: use Report to tell BO.

Anything else: depends on the mistake.

But if it's for a notable bun, you can repost the bun and list the new post number on the last line, e.g.:

>>489375 #11067

On updating the dough.

We never talk about that in basic instructions, but bakers learn to do it. I can list a few things on that if you're interested.

>>9906

haven't noticed a lot of differences re stability but i use Google for various reasons. It's as stable as most.

>>9906

I use brave just b/c it’s a little lighter.

>>9909

>>9909

If it is over 100 lines, do two batches of notables. Still following.

>>9919

It was so comfy though for like a month or two before the current chinese virus. Now everyone is home all the time during the day, kek.

Amen and amen

>>9908

>>9917

Yes, you have to be really patient about waiting for the new thread to appear. Don't freak out, just wait. But right now, you gotta make sure the thread is actually processing, as well. I end up staring at it longer right after pressing Create New Thread (so i don't go away and find it's just sitting there).

>>9918

For e-bakes, you really can just say "E-bake Edition."

For anything else, just do what you want. Don't have to check anything. Sometimes I ask anons for ideas (not usually during ebakes tho!)

>>9925

Good to hear.

Yes, you can do that.

Yes please, talk abour that.

>>9905

what questions do you have, anything come to mind? or are you following along with the steps, envisioning as you go?

>>9918

>>9932

Keeping the exact same format for the bread title is much more important than the title name.

Archive scripts, notables agregator scripts, baking scripts all depend on us getting the title formatting correct. If we don't, the thread doesn't get archived, notes don't get agregated and scripts don't work.

Here's the format -

Q Research General #[XXXXX]: [Title] Edition

>>9934

Talk about what anon?

>>9936

Right, bad formatting… Got it.

>>9932

Okay

>>9908

re Flood Detected and other challenges

just posted this on QR for feedback, might be useful, might need a little revision too it's draft 1.

CRAZY BAKES

draft 1

Most often due to variable lags from DDOS or technical problems. Could also happen on baker's end due to poor signal, emergencies, etc. Shills also create duplicate bakes sometimes.

Generally

If you anticipate problems, TRY TO LET THE BOARD KNOW IN ADVANCE ("system wonky, any other baker available?"). If no reply, wing it!

* If in the middle of a bake, POST A MESSAGE:

"Baker emergency, cannot bake" (like when the kids set fire to the microwave)

"Baker having problems, someone plz take over"

"Bake will be late, anons plz wait."

Scenario 1: Was the thread REALLY created? (normal)

You get the "100% posting" message for a long time, followed by "Server took too long." Never says "Posted."

What to do

* Wait 30-40 seconds; then open Catalog or Index in a new tab; see whether new thread is there.

* If board's really laggy, wait longer.

* If there's no new thread after more than 2-3 minutes, go to Scenario 2.

Scenario 2: Was the thread REALLY created? (during times when board is really wonky)

You get the "Server too long" message within seconds after posting. Means no new thread created.

What to do

* Click "Create a thread" again. Might take several attempts (record for me is 8x). You are looking for the "100% posting" message to persist.

This might create a duplicate bake but is necessary when board is really wonky - see below.

IF you get "Flood Detected," see below.

Scenario 3: BAKING FROM THE INDEX when Catalog is Down

Not really hard, just follow these steps.

1. FINDING THE NEW THREAD BOX

* Open the Index: 8kun.top/qresearch/index.html

New Thread box is at the top.

2. PREPPING THE BAKE

* Fill in fields the same way as always (Q Research General #0000: E-bake Edition, etc.)

* Click on New Thread - which will probably hang ( displaying "posting 100%" message)

3. TO FIND THE THREAD

* Scroll DOWN thru about half a dozen pinned threads to find the first Research General thread.

The next thread down is usually the new thread.

* Not there yet? Refresh the screen and look again.

Scenario 4: "FLOOD DETECTED" message

Two possible situations: (a) system is confused by any kind of flood (e.g., DDOS or maybe multiple attempts to create a thread) or (b) system is trying to create a thread and rejects new attempts with identical text.

A. System confused.

* Try a coupla more times (click New Thread). No change? Go to B.

B. System refusing to make two threads that are exact duplicates.

* Add a blank space at the end of some random line & try again.

* Keep checking to see if there's a new thread. Take your time, especially when board is very laggy.

Scenario 5: DUPLICATE BREADS

Happens when board is very laggy. Or when shills bake dup breads.

What to do

1. Copy OP link from good bread.

2. Go to moldy bread and insert a Fresh Bread link for good bread.

3. In moldy loaf, use "Report" to ask BO/BVs lock the bread. It's found by clicking the little triangle on the upper left of any post.

(Do NOT use Global Report, that's only for CP and other serious violations).

Try "Dup bread, plz lock".

4. In the good bread, apologize for the dup. The purpose is both as a courtesy to anons but also to deprive shills of the chance to claim COMP'D BAKER.

Always remember: Any mistakes can be fixed.

Whatever the outcome, you stepped up. Each time, it gets easier

>>9946

you are correct

it's a good thing mistakes made while baking aren't fatal

KEK

could have wiped out a regiment with the number I've made

>>9954

Yep. It really affects the archiving and aggregating. If you see this, maybe shoot the baker a gentle headsup.

Sometimes it's formatted incorrectly and b/c we just copy it from the last bread, we don't notice it's incorrect. So a headsup is helpful if you see it happening.

>>9955

Yep, lotsa bakers anon. Good to see you. Are you here for the class?

>>9961

kek

Same here.

>>9943

prolly missed ya, but if not - G'nite!

#11344

there's a newer bake that likes this format. retains the # below but not above. have no idea whether that is a problem for scrappers but would like to know.

>>9937

Soz teach, talking about ebake, gyb has posted the answers.

>>9965

>>9962

i am trying it here. i got here late. i am at step 5 right now.

>>9961

ha-ha-ha

you and everybody else

hardly a day goes by….

or sometimes, an hour.

>>9955

If you want to bake and need help catching up, say so - we got bakers galore. Can walk you through the steps or just answer questions.

>>9970

I think it is an issue for the notables aggregators. I've seen them say that it does, and they've asked if we can really make sure to keep the same formatting and ensure the notables batches are numbered correctly, as otherwise SHTF for them.

>>9972

Ah ok, cool.

>>9973

Great. Take your time. There's no rush.

>>9972

answers for ebakes - i answered some q's, not all. what u were looking for?

>>9962

So I can check the paste bin first to see if its wrong.. It seemed to obvious, deliberate on the bakers part. Because we all know what it should look like. Wish I asked or checked..

>>9973

Cool, let me know if I can help.

>>9983

The hard part is that there are some things that matter and some that don't.

For example, which of these is ok?

Dough:

https://pastebin.com/QnS8mR3N

Dough

https://pastebin.com/QnS8mR3N

Dough: https://pastebin.com/QnS8mR3N

Tasty pasty:

https://pastebin.com/QnS8mR3N

What is the scrapper looking for?

The word "dough"?

Red text "dough"?

Dough following by a colon?

or is the pastebin link alone enough?

That's the kind of specific info we need in a list so bakers will know when they can get creative and when they need to stick to a certain format.

>>9993

>That's the kind of specific info we need in a list so bakers will know when they can get creative and when they need to stick to a certain format.

Truth

>>9983

I usually check the pastebin right away, in case there's any probs with it or accessing it, I can maybe catch the baker. Once I accidentally share the link to my pastebin, while I was editing it. Handed off and baker couldn't access/bad link. I was still lurking so was able to fix.

>>9941

When I've made the first practice bun in comms, I'll do a ==baking== in the previous, and keep churning them out…W

In /qr/ won't that notice, help shills shit the bread?

Doesn't that

>>9996

so glad there are others checking the dough, really saved my bacon/bakin last night. Dough was really wonky but i was so busy i didn't notice stuff that really needed changing. Oldfags do a lot to support the board coz they know how things oughta look.

>>9943

Good, goodnight Wnb.

>>10001

Definitely appreciate others looking out while baking. Moves pretty quick.

>>9999

yes

this is why it is dangerous to bake to early and link to early

you can bake a bit early and then wait until the old bread is almost full to post the fresh bread link

>>9983

It's always good practice to check your dough when you get it. Run down the notables numbers, check the numbering, the formatting.

Check the past notables batches that they're all in order and all included.

Check the title formatting.

I find 99.9% of the time mistakes in these are not deliberate. They're either bakers being creative and not realizing, or they've not noticed. I do it myself all the time, and really appreciate when anons let me know of any mistakes. We're all in it together, and anons have time when we often don't.

>>9999

nice digit, anon.

regarding

baking

message

you don't see it much anymore, right?

IT's because of the lag.

Bakers often start the bake very early–even before posting the last notables list.

Say, 670 - 685.

So they press "Create a Thread" to get things started, then come back and watch to see how fast the bred is moving and how the lag is going

If i post

baking

anons will think notes are finalized when maybe they aren't

No baking message/ very early bake?

Yes, shills can sometimes get in there

But they can always get in if they want to by lying in wait

Bottom line: Make sure to try to finish new bred before old bred is done, whatever it takes

>>9970

Exactly that formatting, don't care for it.

Going traditional all the way.

>>10005

That link is broken now.

Here's a working on on QR -

>>>/qresearch/8739537

>>10011

yes, i go traditional too.

during endchan times, i was trying to get bakers to do that, and they'd say, why bother?

(Board small, breds slow)

Why? Because it's a habit. Good habits make for more consistency and fewer mistakes.

Same thing goes for handoffs.

Formal handoffs matter - just ask anyone who's thought someone else was baking when they thought it was HIM!

There are so many ways to vary things that work fine - bread titles/theme, baker icons, other icons, images to go with bred theme, and just the way someone expresses themselves.

>>9979

so i got to step 7. new bread i created greenlined all my previous bread links???

>>10017

Taking a short break, GYB.

>>10020

they are green because the links are to QR - different board. If you link to threads on /comms/, won't be green.

>>9979

it is named:

Q Research General #10985 Class Edition jumping in the deep end face first!!! Edition

>>10025

ok, i'm here.

>>10026

i was supposed to link to the practice one on comms?

>>10028

ok, can take a look

>>9960

Very clear instructions, wow starting to get that now gyb.

>>10031

You don't have to link for real, it's just practice. Cuz you won't have to change the links on QR. Just pretend the links work. Main thing is to get practice in actually creating the new thread, practice using the formatting, and changing the dough, and linking to the new dough. Once you've done that a bit and feel you get it, I would take real-time notes on a live bread (nobody has to know), then bake it in comms for practice. That's where you'll have to speed up a bit and get used to doing it a little faster and working multiple browser tabs.

>>10028

Looking good

just needs a colon in the title:

Q Research General #10985: Class Edition….

(prolly don't need 2 "editions in the title"!)

plus Dough post (when you get there)

>>10026

i got it. everyone else practice baking is green as well. because we linked to qresearch, not comms posts.

>>10020

yes

the dough is made for /qresearch/

links go

from same board (/qresearch/) to same board (/qresearch/)

or from one board to another /comms/ to /qresearch/ or vise' versa

two > for same board

three > & board name for cross board links

>>10021 same board

>>>/qresearch/8739537 from here to /qresearch/

if you went there and wanted to link those posts...

>>8739537

>>>/comms/10021

>>10040

exactly.

when practice baking, i remember being kind of disappointed because it didn't look very good.

but it will when you're on /qr/

>>10037

>>10038

got it so far. will keep going. I am used to seeing the red hyper post links. i dem-panic'd.

>>10029

Back.TQ

>>9982

You already posted, was replying to teach.

>>10043

>>10044

Actually that's a good point. In class, every new baker says that about their bake, and it can be disppointing to them.

SO

I'll add a part in the teaching materials saying to expect it.

Thanks

>>10045

Looking guuuud! Just remember you'll need a link for the notables list posted last. So you post you notables list, then grab the Post no. link, and post at the bottom of notables list. This can get tricky with last minutes calls for changes and notables, when you are trying to get that final link and bake it.

live URL links

>green links

two big differences that make a difference in how the page looks

>>9993

As far as I know, it doesn't matter which one you pick. Unless someone is searching the term dough, it wouldn't matter. As a baker or a lurker, I always ckeck notables and then look for the dough for communication about what's going on. Is there a baker or notetaker? I also tag the dough with my notables list, just so people can easily find me/track the baking progress.

>>9996

Looks like I need to spend a huge hunk of time taking notes, way before attemping to bake.

>>9999

>>10010

==baking== is more of a warning for anons to save notes for next bred because trigger has already been pulled. iirc.

has less to do with bred shitting than saving anons the hassle of posting stuff twice

>>10061

>when you are trying to get that final link and bake it

about the same time shills post long lists of notables that baker missed, kek.

>>10067

>Aug 5

o7

>>10066

dough tagging

As a GY baker, i'm kinda fanatical about that.

Because about half of the breads i start with, i end up ghosting.

And when you ghost, you gotta let the incoming baker know where to find notables, pastebin changes, and the "ghost" message. Especially if they are trying to grab a bred at the end.

>>9993

GYB, what is the scraper looking for?

The red text, the word?

I based my answer, looking at the current /qr/ thread. Still don't know what the scraper looks for.

>>10021

Anyone else got any of dat fresh bread?

So I wanted to give some feedback / advice on notables after seeing the batches posted by the new bakers on the last couple of threads.

A few of you said your batches were too long.

Here's what I do when there's a lot of notes -

- Group them

Often I list one note with a description, then another and another with the same subject comes along. Rather than create a new line for each, I will group them and change the description, like…

>>8888888 , >>9999999, >>666666 Coronavirus Notables

This saves on line space, eye boggle and leads anons catching up to all the notes on that one subject. Good all round.

When more notes on a current dig come in, I note them like this -

>>6333333 , >>2222222 Whatever digs cont. re pb >>5555555

or just

>>6333333 , >>2222222 Whatever digs cont.

Not suggesting for a second that anyone must do this, it's just a method. Other bakers may want to chime in here and share what they do when there's a lot of notables.

>>9999

>>10070

I've stopped doing that personally.

The breads are so fast now it's not really worth posting "baking" after posting the final notable bun for the dough.

You lose time by doing that instead of just baking.

>>10069

I practiced taking notes every chance I could at first. I used to do it secretly when bakers or note-takers were doing it already. When nobody was available to bake or take notes, I started volunteering to do it. Got better at it, faster. Then started practice baking, but had baked before on QRB, so already knew the steps, main thing I needed practice with was the speed everything is moving at. Still struggle with it some days more than others. Today I was tired and struggled, plus the lag and Q posts. The other day was getting slammed with the lag from hell and didn't even get stressed out. Perfect bakes. It's usually intense tho. But anyway, at one point, there was no baker present and I was note-taking, just called it and said I was baking.

>>10070

Always good to foreshadow any changes.

EG:

* seeking handoff nb, espec. if it's mandatory

I announce at the start "can bake one bred"

then announce again around 400-500 and at the end if no one has responded.

* use LAST CALL around @650 to warn anons they better list anything they want in notes very soon (if during the day, maybe more like @630)

They can also check to see whether a new bred is started - with the lag, most regular anons know bakers start a lot earlier than with 8chan.

>>10077

that's what i'm collecting info on now.

also relates to notables.

wearethene.ws anon said not to leave spaces in middle of notable buns but stuff like baker change within buns is ok. There may be other things to be aware of but i'm just figuring it out.

They are easy to contact tho - right next door on /comms/.

>>10067

Yes! Saw it and thought 'he's incredible'.

kek

What a great idea GYB. Very nice work. Haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I'll be saving it.

Brilliance.

>>10069

We say to break it down anon. First get the baking down by baking a tonne of breads here first. You get into a rhythm and the steps all start to flow together. Like learing driving, diving, skiing or anything new.

Then we suggest starting to work on notables by collecting them in a live bread. Do this for a few times then when you're ready to put it all together, great.

Everyone is ready at different times, so take your time and work away at it until you feel comfy.

>>10075

I agree, it's frustrating as a baker coming in, trying to figure out what's going on, especially if you don't have much time. The sooner you can take the bake or start taking notes the better, gets difficult if come in late and no notes or don't know where to find them. Just lurking like nothings going on and then realize no baker! I also use the Notables header and such, to help if people are doing searches.

>>10072

About the same time someone starts on you for something.

kek

>>10079

Agree, no-one does that now really.

I'll remove it from the teaching materials.

>>10081

Also fren, I highly recommend keeping up with previous notables, I check them coming and going from work. Even if I don't have much time to post, research, or bake, I keep up with notables. Much easier as a baker/note collector to know what's already been discussed etc. This is probably the most time consuming thing I do. Read notables!

>>10083

>regular anons know bakers start a lot earlier than with 8chan.

this what I'm looking for.. How much earlier are you baking on average? like 100 posts?

How different is baking on kun than chan under nominal net conditions? speedwise?

I've been hesitant because traffic has been so bad, at least from this area. sometimes 3+ minutes between refreshes.. a bred can end and go to hell in 3 minutes.

>>10078

I've also been looking at newer baker notables and trying to see ways to help them streamline. The bakers i'm seeing right now tend to include everything, don't want to leave anything out.

The combining approach you suggest is good, may take a little time to learn.

Now: here's a question:

How many new bakers include everything because of seeing shills excoriate baking for "leaving out" posts?

I tend to include a lot but even i don't include as much as i used to. There's that NewsFag guy who picks up a lot of int'l news. It's fine but he can post like 30 news items. Recently, i realized he was ip hopping - could tell because of a certain place the text would break in all his posts.

Best scenario i think is a happy medium. but each baker is still gonna have to decide what kind of posts he things are notable in addition to noms.

Shills are going to criticize bakers no matter what - and lately, they've gone after new bakers, which they didn't used to do so much. Learning how not to take it personally is a big deal. But it also helps to work out your strategy for determining notables so you can tell anons who question your choices.

>>10088

Nods, thanks teach. Sometimes I like a little push but I would rather take the the time to learn and practice.

>>10095

correction, 5- 10 minutes lol.. just waited thru 2 300 second throttle counts

>>10095

I start prepping at 630 to 650, any later than that I usually have difficulties. Unless it's slow. I try to post notables a bit before that, like at 600 to 620 or so and while waiting for responses, go ahead double check bread number and such and get new thread going. Try not to get distracted by the last call crew that will come out of the woodwork. If you 've been posting updates often enough, shouldn't

be so many last minute requests.

>>10094

ah yes.

I sometimes take over for bakers who have to leave NOW when i haven't read notables. Kinda risky although i'll prolly still do it. Can bite you in the butt tho.

>>10106

ok so at least 100 posts. ty.

how bad is the lag you've been working through? what's the longest you've had to ah.. float a bake for, due to connection issues? I don't know how else to ask it

>>10101

>…so you can tell anons who question your choices

that's how you tell anons from shills.

if you have a good strategy for deciding what's notable (e.g., requires high quality sauce, clear reasoning or both)–and you calmly explain this to an anon–he will either fix the problem or say ok. If you explain that to a shill….well, you know.

>>9993

1st one has all three:

The word "dough"?

Red text "dough"?

Dough following by a colon?

>>10112

that is why it is the most used approach kek.

>>10008

>>10022

Got ya…kek

>>10110

Today was better than Tuesday, in which case I prob had to hit post about 10 times and maybe 5-10 minutes to get the new thread post to load. Meanwhile, like today was more like 3 to 5 minutes. I just keep hitting post every time it says took too long, I don't change anything, so at some point it'll say, flood detected. I leave that page open and go to my other tab which has the catalogue open, and just keep hitting reload until it shows up. Cuz I know it loaded due to flood detection. It shows up eventually and then it's go time, posting like mad b4 the shills and bread shitters get in and trying to get a fresh bread link in the old bread b4 it fills up.

>>10102

A little push is good, but you have to learn first as if not, and we go and ski down a mountain w/o knowing how to stop, as an analogy, we're gonna be put off sking for life. kek

Learning is important. The push will come naturally when you're there and ready sometime and there's no baker around :)

>>10114

Nice formatted, teach.

Really easy to follow!

So the claim is that doc is a fame-fagging twitterite - which would naturally account for his notable choices.

Right.

The one thing all of the bakers union attacks have in common is a lack of any evidence whatsoever that there is a group that conspires together to control the board. There has NEVER been any evidence of this but that does not stop shills from repeatedly making the claim.

>>10122

damn ok, so the conditions are what they are and this location isn't any better or worse than yours. thanks.

>>10061

i caught that when i saw all the green'd links. i just go back to the previous bread and get the last bread summary post #.

sometimes the breads fly with posts…….

>>10122

You are in the same boat as all of us. I've finally gotten to the point where I just announce that i'll be baking early due to bread lag, plz wait for the bread, it's coming. Not even very tense about it at this point, it's a fact of life. And suppose someone bakes a dup? Just tell BO and it'll will eventually be locked. Comfy.

>>10127

It's so pathetic to see.

It seems like the same attack the BVs were doing before they were fired, and now that they've been fired they're doing it again.

The point for posting that is to IGNORE SHILLS WHEN BAKING.

You'll slide the bread and give them even more ammo they can spread as disinfo if you engage.

Even though it's tempting, kek.

>>10110

Also, I know many bakers create their pastebin as part of the bake process, but I create my new pastebin right when I get the new dough. I look it over real fast, and go ahead and delete space on notables page or decide I'm gonna do two pages and where I'll need a page break to make it quick and smooth. Too stressful for me to try and do all that while baking, with all the shills and bread shitters. Also, when I post the last notables list I edit the pastebin with the last link for notables list, while I'm waiting for the new thread to create. I keep a notepad of links and such to help me when the bake process of copy/paste is going down, to avoid having to type. Takes too much time. I also try and have my pics already selected for main 1st page, dough, and fresh bread links. Searching thru vast pics and making decisions while baking can cause fires in the kitchen. kek I even keep a running list of general and specific bread titles I might use.

Here's my list on notepad that I keep for every bake:

>baker's union

there was plenty of evidence of this in /cbts/

but that was then and now is why this is done openly ;)

AFLB was part of that club. That's why when AFLB got banned from the mod team, and then subsequently from baking, the reference from BO at that time was couched in terms of being given a second chance and failing at it.

They actually got 3 chances.

Because the suspicion was already there from the cbts days.

iirc. someone will apply the rod of correction if this anon is mistaken.

>>10142

I use wearethene.ws for that personally.

>>10137

You report it.

Using the little triangle at the top left of a post.

>>10137

To report an incorrect thread number and request a change, or to report a dup bread, click on the first post of the thread, the triangle, then 'report'.

"Requesting a thread number correction, BO. TY"

>>10132

Shills

Don't care who's doing it, paying for it, directing it or anything else. Doesn't matter. IGNORE THEM ALL, they are irrelevant.

Anyone who bakes is doing a tough job under trying circumstances. We don't need the good opinion of shills.

That said, i always try to distinguish shills from angry anons. Doesn't take that much. Anons will always give you a little something that shills wont. Doesn't mean you can please them. But you might get to the place where you agree to disagree.

>>10010

Bottom line: Make sure to try to finish new bred before old bred is done, whatever it takes

5:5

>>10133

>I even keep a running list of general and specific bread titles I might use.

Not a bad idea

I sometimes prep a bred to bake to do relief baking and then another baker takes the bake. I keep the bred title, many are 'reusable'. Once i had a really good one and baker wanted a title - three of us worked out the perfect combo. Fun.

>>10136

i've been doing that all bred.

adds new meaning to the 'hive mind' idea.

"We are all one."

>>10133

All great tips.

>running list of general and specific bread titles

I usually just take quotes I like from Q and make sure another bread didn't use it by searching it in the catalog. I'm not that creative unless there's a happening going on, kek.

>>10151

>>10154

Yea, most days I get up, or when I get home, prep my notepad for the bread and notables list #, Q posts dates, and follow breads doing this, so I'm ready if I get a chance. I also grab stuff from POTUS that he says or just stuff that comes to me following breads from anons.

>>10145

>but that was then and now is why this is done openly ;)

your recollection matches mine

>How do you tell the BO?

postcard - only 2-3 days by mail. Kek.

>>10152

Someone e-baked when baker was obviously on duty?

>>10145

There was one baker who started a Bakers Union on halfchan, cbts. They hooked in another new baker and then said the bakers were all going on strike (for some reason).

The anons name was Gnupol. Maybe some of you remember.

Madness ensued, and anons eventually got the dough back (from Gnupol and mate). Gnupol called it 'The Bakers Union', and hence it all began. AFLB was part of the group who were taking it back from the BU. Leaf was based back then, if you can believe it.

Later, there was another posse's of 2 bakers who kept the dough to themselves at 8chan cbts. The two of them you will know. One is Breadbox, who is now FJ, the other PamphletAnon. Anon went on holiday for 2 weeks and they'd effectively taken over the bakery. More madness ensued :)

>>10152

>>10146

>>10147

thanks. i hit add filter every bread and never noticed report right under it!

so how many practice before you try baking? night shift better to try 1st time. the last two days with all the drops the breads were going too fast.

>>10148

Second that.

Ignore all shills while baking

Nothing good comes of interacting. EVER.

>>10157

i knew there was stuff from the past

but not from the last year or so

just saying "it happened before" isn't good enough

>>10119

Yea, I try to add please post anything I missed next bread anons! That seems to help. Seriously nothing you can do, can't bake when thread is ending. So I ignore and then ask to repost. They do it every single bread kek

>>10005

Got it, this is great info.

>>10116

Definitely wouldn't even have to, shills and lazy anons alike literally would bombard them at 680 every single bread and then they will understand! kek

>>10162

>so how many practice before you try baking?

Honestly as many as it takes for you to be comfortable. No real set number.

> night shift better to try 1st time

No doubt.

>>10162

Yeah, it's really useful to know.

>so how many practice before you try baking?

How long is a piece of string? Everyone is different anon. You could practice all night tonight then feel ready and bake tomorrow. You may need 3 days practicing, maybe 5.

Ready means to me, you can easily bake a thread without hesitating, and you can collect notables along with the thread speed.

You learn the most once you start baking, so I think if you feel ready, jump in. Nightshift is good to start, yes.

>>10163

THIRD

All it will do is get you distracted and upset when you're already prob under stress. They are relentless! I've had good luck ignoring. I never filter, but I'm good at ignoring. I don't do a lot of talking when I'm baking. The less I talk the less shills bother me. As long as I post notables often enough and make changes requested, it goes pretty smoothly.

>>10153

kek

We are indeed, one mind

>>10160

Yes! I even posted the new thread was super laggy so wait for it!

>>10170

>I don't do a lot of talking when I'm baking. The less I talk the less shills bother me. As long as I post notables often enough and make changes requested, it goes pretty smoothly.

Can confirm. Head down and ignore them, enjoy your baking. Make sure you post notables regularly and respond to any legitimate, respectful anons. If/when a shill hits, anons will stand up for you. You need to do nothing.

>>10162

Practice during night shift or early morning before everyone is awake. I only practiced a couple of times, but I practiced taking notes a lot because of the speed you have to gather. But, you can alway call on anons to nominate and then use F3 to search for notables in a pinch. Just start and one day soon you'll be there when nobody else is, and I suggest you go for it. Any mistakes you make will be a learning process and from there you'll prob either hate it or for some reason not be able to stop kek

>>10161

Tx for stating the story so plainly. I've got bits and pieces but better to have it straight. Especially as it's getting recycled again.

It's not that bakers can't get corrupted, it's that claims are so often made wo zero evidence using spam (Big Lie technique - just repeat the lie over and over). Unfortunately, sometimes those who originate it come to believe the lie.

Important to collect evidence, which is easily done. It was not hard to tell that bv coalition of a year ago was not based; they showed their true colors pretty early, FJ especially. Started collecting posts right away. So there would be real evidence showing the attitude very early. There was more and more evidence as time went on. Collect it now, as well - anything that looks funny. Some of it turns out to be nothing special (like a baker that is a little 'muh joos' but keeps it in check most of the time). But you never know when it might matter.

Evidence is always the key.

>>10167

You're right! Just let them bake–and see!

>>10161

<AFLB

I'm sorry teach, should have been clear that this part was this anon's opinion:

>They actually got 3 chances.

>Because the suspicion was already there from the cbts days.

Because AFLB's antics were never accepted by this anon as being organic. gut feel: Do larpers try to represent one side only, or both sides, to appear more organic?

…

But yeah, as far as the whole bakers union thing, it did not last long, but then again neither did cbts…. nor did the storm. So the bakers union was correctly declined and shit upon by anons, but remembered, mabye even gained legend status, now.

As a matter of fact, in the beginning it was assumed that no board would last longer than a couple months. By everyone, including Q.

This anon is impressed that /qresearch/ has held it together. Impressed in a good way :D

>>10162

>how much time needed to practice

For me, an entire effing month!

I needed it all, too. By the time i baked, i was ready enough to never panic. But it took all that time to get my skills good enough for that. And it wasn't that they were that great, just good enough to know that i could figure something out when a new situation arose.

>>10177

No worries at all. I agree with you about AFLB, and everything you've said.

I'm impressed that we've held this board together as well. A testament to us all and how we've worked together and gotten through stormy seas to the calm again. It hasn't been easy, but…. it's been done :D

>>10175

YW.

>>10172

could have been a panicky anon that didn't notice. with bread lag, you just never know. except when freddy – who had a genuine handoff (although no one knew it was him) –baked next bred at @400 last month. KEK.

>>10133

Whoa, was wondering about prepping like that. Idea knicked… Ta.

Keeping the images on my dashboard too, faster.

>>10162

Also, when practicing taking notes you can also help baker out by cking for notables, calling them out, calling more sauce for baker, getting Q caps and also posting the formatted Q drops for baker to grab and add to dough. Very difficult to do when baking and the bread is flying. Helping baker will help you practice formatting and figuring out what are good posts and what posts need more. Even if it's not used or needed, or you just do it on the side as practice, checking for mistakes, broken links, formatting Q posts, or changing dough (your practice dough) for War Room etc., will help you know what to do when it happens while you're baking.

>>10162

Doc often does a shift that ends around 2 am ET. If he's near the end, he'll finish it, then ghost. If not, he may ghost mid-bread around that time. Either way, it's a good opp for baking.

You can also ask him for a handoff, tell him you're new. You can do that, you know - most new bakers won't say it, but you might as well, anons know anyhow.

I pick up some of those gy breads but if you're around, i'll defer. Also glad to lend a hand if needed. OR you can just shadowbake. many options at night. The shift that's very often available is late gy - around 4 am ET. If you're up then.

>>10182

Yea and I set up my pastebin right when I get the dough. Everything is prepped and ready, all I have to do is edit. Doesn't always work, sometimes you come in late or whatever, but it helps.

>>10181

True, but I snapped and cussed him/her, when I usually ignore all the bs. kek

>>10183

all great ideas, kek.

>>10164

oh ya

goes waaaaay back

this board was started because AFLB banned me for 3 days mid bake, for no good reason

>golden rule violation

KEK

from the dungheap roses grow

but ya, there's a bit of history with at least one subversive group that has infiltrated the board to near it's highest levels, it's why Q switched from 4 to 8 and then from cbts to qresearch

>>10161

> Leaf was based back then, if you can believe it.

semi based, got more than a little ban happy a couple of times

but ya, not bad as he became after losing the keys to the BV slot

>>10186

Well, i would too. Gotta pay attention around here.

>>10188

Ah, but look what we got outta that ban! A great practice board. dungheap roses, indeed.

I got banned only once - off of patriotsawoken – after establishing a practice thread for formatting, i used it to refine a long report. Got banned for 12 hours for spam!

def gonna have to scrape all these class threads for history

my memory is only so~so

it helps to have many viewpoints

>>10189

i was a bv once - for sgrvl. worse boss in the world! tons of work, zero privileges. quit pretty danged early from that job! always liked sgrvl but he's not quite all there. anons thought he was compd until they figured it out.

>>10177

>Because AFLB's antics were never accepted by this anon as being organic.

seemed like an organic slide into mental illness to me at the time and in retrospect, but AFLB did not act alone

I do think there was spoopiness involved and perhaps outright fuckery in that group AFLB was associated with

>>10183

That's really good advice.

Us bakers on a fast bread rely on anons help on all fronts such as checking notes, posting good descriptions, formatting, thread numbers checks, notables batches numbers checks, asking anons to repost nb, posting Q posts, Q caps, videos, posting corrections, spelling, dead notable links, incorrect notable links, anons help us immensely.

had a few BVs here before the switch to 8Kun

no real duties, I figured it was good for bakers to see this side of the board

what a BO can and cannot do

I haven't seen any of 'em log in

the login stayed the same

>>10169

>>10168

>>10174

>>10178

>>10183

thanks for the answers. compiling the notes is def a good thing to practice. one of the bakers does a penultimate bun on breads and labels it:

notables @ 500

I came here to learn this because i can tell when the shills are messing with the "buns" lately when they don't bring attention to good info/posts. I see all you guys posting "learn to bake" on breads. i figured why not try…

>>10173

>>10170

>>10148

Your different perspectives help me understand. Deeply grateful to be learning from the best.

>>10189

Sorry, I meant he was based back on halfchan. He baked from the start and was one of the regular bakers on there. When he got to BV here he/she went awry afair.

Banned me as well. Not while baking though. That's funny. kek

>>10196

>i figured why not try…

that's why I made this place and Teach started these classes

nothing ventured, nothing gained

>>10170

Not filtering these days either.

>>10191

they'd pretty rich, aren't they? trying to put this material in the dough as well, can't get everything but at least the high points.

>>10193

well this is the case with sgrvl as well, although he's a good guy and patriot. just not completely balanced, sometimes gets real jumpy. He seems more settled now.

>AFLB

People take advantage of mental illness, exploiting it. Look at hotwheels–same deal. But even the mentally ill have choices to make, have seen that many times. A board like this is not a good place for crazy people, they are playing with fire.

Teach….I just now found u guize….I stayed in the other room all night!!! Duhhhh….and now I've missed class…I'm bummed! kek

>>10198

>>10197

We all learn from one another.

>>10202

It's ok anon.

Have you come to classes before now?

>>10204

Just one a cpl of weeks ago…ya!I let me sit in and watch….wiz gonna do that again tonight and cldnt find muh way here…I feel like a tard! kek

>>10193

organic like kappy organic?

>>10206

well, what would you like to do?

try to bake a bread or do you have questions?

>>10185

Ideal set up, I like your style of thinking.

>>10208

Saved! Thank you! I even left a msg for u and rusty in the other room. kek.. Is class completely over?

>>10212

everyone here is a little crazy. just gotta underline little.

>>10207

>FJ… you don't need training wheels when you have each other

he wasn't wrong

>>10208

>>10212

Rusty you should unpin the others.

Also was doing a dig in general and missed a bunch of stuff going to read it now.

>>10213

i asked what you wanted to do bc i'm not baking tonite. if you want to practice bake, i'll help you.

>>10210

Wut I really wanted to do since real life kinda derailed me from the starting gate here…wuz just to watch others as they learned and ask qs as they came up….like we did last time…I blew it…I'm soz…
