Edit about the 4chan image blocking, I asked Rimu directly:

I wrote a long message about how that checkbox only notifies about federated posts.

So the difference is for local posts it blocks the creation of the post entirely, but for federated posts it just notifies the admin.

A few people in the other thread assumed that it was required to fork the code to disable those filters. That's not the case, the filters can be configured, and are off by default.

To hide the reputation system, here's a line of CSS that admins can add in the admin area to hide it for every user

That CSS line can also be used by any user wanting to hide the score at the user level.

I get that many people are concerned about is scoring systems, but it seems a lot more worrying to me that it allows arbitrary code execution.

Wait what? I read in other threads the code was bad, not I didn't think it'd be this bad.

As others have pointed out, it does still require (with some caveats about the infra setup) the user to be an admin. But if someone manages to get in to the interface, or another person is granted admin access who shouldn't have been, it makes it more risky than it needs to be. It also for me is a design choice that indicates other parts of the system should be carefully examined for how they're handling and sanitizing input.

Sounds like these settings are very reasonable to have turned on. Although I would be cautious of how the "4chan" filter is implemented, it sounds easy to overdo.

Can I as a user see which of these settings an instance has enabled?
