Moderation
ord includes a block explorer, which you can run locally with ord server.
The block explorer allows viewing inscriptions. Inscriptions are user-generated content, which may be objectionable or unlawful.
It is the responsibility of each individual who runs an ordinal block explorer instance to understand their responsibilities with respect to unlawful content, and decide what moderation policy is appropriate for their instance.
In order to prevent particular inscriptions from being displayed on an ord
instance, they can be included in a YAML config file, which is loaded with the
--config option.
To hide inscriptions, first create a config file, with the inscription ID you want to hide:
hidden:
- 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000i0
The suggested name for ord config files is ord.yaml, but any filename can
be used.
Then pass the file to --config when starting the server:
ord --config ord.yaml server
Note that the --config option comes after ord but before the server
subcommand.
ord must be restarted in to load changes to the config file.
ordinals.com
The ordinals.com instances use systemd to run the ord server service,
which is called ord, with a config file located at /var/lib/ord/ord.yaml.
To hide an inscription on ordinals.com:
- SSH into the server
- Add the inscription ID to
/var/lib/ord/ord.yaml - Restart the service with
systemctl restart ord - Monitor the restart with
journalctl -u ord
Currently, ord is slow to restart, so the site will not come back online
immediately.
