discussion LewdCorner Is Recruiting

[misterfluffums]

Python is being used because this needs to function as an automated bot, not a one-off manual task. The bot has to visit other sites, pull images from large numbers of game threads in bulk, download them, identify which LewdCorner thread they belong to, and then reupload them back to the correct game thread through the API. It’s not that only Python can do this, it’s that Python is well-suited for building this kind of large-scale automation quickly and reliably.

As an addendum: as you say there are plenty of ways to skin a pig (Java/nodejs/C++, heck, even Rust), but I find it most important that you as the site owner, are at least somewhat familiar with the language (even if you're not the one writing it) and that it's either an interpreted language or that you take care of compiling the source code to executable code.

John situation at ATF made me even more paranoid than I already am xD trust but verify and all that.

Tl;dr for non-technical folks: Python is like a recipe book written in English. Even if Jack needs a cook to bake a beautiful cake, he can read the recipe book and if there would have been a suspicious ingredient called "totally not rat poison", he would quite easily notice.

Other interpreted languages are recipe books written in German, Jack can use autotranslate to search for "Rattengift", but that's still inconvenient.

With compiled languages the check is even harder, basically the cook would provide a fully baked cake and Jack would have to trust them there's no rat poison added.

the dev has api access, but it is custom wrote by me and so the api does not have access to the DB or any admin access of such thing.

Even better!

I could be willing to join as a developer I'm working on a vn now but I don't do sexual content at least not in the one I'm doing now but I'm not an artist and that's something that will slow me down until I find where to get art from

LewdCorner Is Recruiting
Uploaders, Moderators, Archivers & a Python Dev​

---

Sorry for another forced thread, but this one matters.

LewdCorner is currently looking for more people to help keep the site alive, organized, and improving. Right now I am actively looking for:

• Game Uploaders
• Moderators
• Archivers (rank/system still being developed)
• A Python developer who can automate an image recovery/replacement process. (i tried to make it myself, python is not my strong suit)

This is one of those situations where I would rather force the thread than have the right people never see it.

What We Need

1. Game Uploaders
We need reliable people who can help keep posting new games, updates, and content flowing onto the site. If you already know how LC works, know how to post properly, and want to help the site grow, this is one of the best ways to do it.

Uploader application thread:
LC Uploaders Application!

---

2. Moderators
We are also looking for moderators to help keep things under control, assist members, handle reports, and help maintain order across the site. If you are active, level-headed, and know how to handle users without turning everything into drama, then this may be for you.

Moderator information / application thread:
https://lewdcorner.com/threads/-lc-staff-applications.19071/post-886693

---

3. Archivers
We are also planning for Archivers, though the rank and exact system for that role is still in development. This role is intended for people who can help preserve, organize, and recover content from ATF & Other sites. More details on that will come later, but I want people to know now that it is something I am building toward.

---

4. Python Developer Needed
I am also looking for someone who knows Python and understands automation.

Specifically, I need help creating a process/bot that can:

• download images from another site
• re-upload them here on a system i made that can be connected to its api to see all game threads/attachments and replace said attachments.
• help replace broken images on LewdCorner

A massive amount of broken images has been one of the site’s ongoing issues, and I want to start fixing that in a more automated way instead of doing everything manually like a caveman.

If you know how to build something like that, message me.

Payment / reward for helping with the Python bot:

• $30-$50
• 30,000 Activity Coins 2.0

If you are capable of doing this properly, I am serious about paying for the help.

Contact me here:
https://lewdcorner.com/direct-messages/add?to=Jack+Of+Blades

You can also PM me on Discord if that is easier.

Final Note

So yes, sorry for the forced thread, but I would rather annoy people for 10 seconds than miss the chance to find the right people.

If you want to help LewdCorner, whether that is by uploading, moderating, archiving, or helping solve one of the site’s bigger technical problems, now is the time.

If you are interested, apply or message me.

Totally no apology needed. Sadly I just dont have the schedule to help out or the necessary skills. But I am grateful for all the team that does help keep this site up and running.

 

[Dip!]

I'm kinda interested in uploading games but i never done such a thing. Looked at the uploader university but the pics are broke and i am much better at visual learning.

Mods being able to undo mistakes is nice. But I've never been anything beyond a user. The most thing i ever uploaded was youtube vids. I actually feel a bit of anxiety (i should really get myself checked, been meaning to find some brain doctor to check my self for several brain stuff) the big reason I'm considering being an uploader is 1. To step out of my comfort zone, 2. To give me something to do.

I think my brain is just making it more intimidating then it actually is. So I guess I'm commenting this at all is to have a small push? Idk...i saw game wasn't here (in latest updates at least) that i liked and for whatever reason my brain felt like uploading myself would be better then asking for it to be here.

I mean i am willing to upload/update whatever game is needed (especially since there is a weekly requirement).

I think commenting this is aslo helping me calm my nerves and help me from crawling back inside my comfort zone.

I'm not too sure what I'm asking for though with this whole comment? I can't think of the word...but I'm sure its obvious. Besides not like trying it out means i can't leave. I know my brain is just thinking too much.
