Several /snow/ threads were permanently locked today. Do not ask why, because there is no specific reason for me to give. If a thread is locked, it's simply because I consider it to be low quality; no other reason.
Do not ask for them to be unlocked, because they won't be. If there are ever significant new developments that you think truly make someone worthy of having a thread again, you can provide the evidence in /meta/. Otherwise, let it go.
No one cares if you're quitting the site.
Discussion of the individuals in those threads is not allowed anywhere else on the site. You can use this thread as a temporary refuge for any final remarks, or links to other websites.
Locked threads:
>>>/snow/134257>>>/snow/132905>>>/snow/124275>>>/snow/30618>>>/snow/140648>>>/snow/93376>>>/snow/103263>>>/snow/105430>>>/snow/136289>>>/snow/140699>>>/snow/55562and more.

>>1926Hey sorry I'm kind of new here but can you explain why we can't talk about Emily/Ember anymore?
Can't Emily just be banned but the thread still exist?
(I'm not asking you to remake the thread or anything, just curious!)
No. 1941
>>1936I mean, it's pretty obvious why, at least for the Aly thread and the pro-ana thread.
The Aly thread has been dying. To be fair, that's not entirely our fault, since Aly herself has gotten boring and repetitive, and it appears that nothing truly remarkable will come from her. She was great and interesting at first, but she's lost it now. It just seemed like there was nothing more to see.
As for the pro-ana thread, it's pure trash. I even say this as someone who reads that thread. It's repetitive and just brings the same shit to the table over and over. People argued, "well then you bring something!" but the problem was that
there was nothing. Nobody was doing anything interesting or unique. The thread was trash and it was going to remain trash.
No. 1944
Fucking praise admin-sama for closing the proana cancer thread!!!!! Though, I gotta ask admin, why aren't Emily's posts marked like Kristen/Ember's posts were?
>>1942>>1943Can you faggots not read admin's post? Don't ask why, you're not owed a reason. You're obviously overly dedicated to a/several shit threads.

No. 1957
>>1937I take it that if other threads are locked it will also be done so at random/for no specific reason?
Would you maybe be willing to say what the criteria is for low quality, because for certain threads it's pretty clear why they were deleted and I totally get it (the pro ana thread was total garbage) but for others it isn't (like I thought the Jillian one was ok? I mean, she's no Kate, but it had some funny moments, like the Jillian fangirl who googled her and found the place). Also it would be nice to know for future reference what things to avoid so hopefully people can avoid having threads/thread subjects banned in the future.
It's cool that you are so active in making sure the quality of this place is up to par, I really appreciate it

No. 1973
>>1972micky was my favorite snowflake ;-;7
kinda fucked up admin won't give a reason as to why he decided to lock those threads other than "low quality" when basically all of /snow/ suffered from that.
No. 1991
>>1957No, admin is not willing to say, lol.
Sorry, but this admin is like, the weirdest I've ever encountered. Not giving notice, not explaining anything… Only "I'm not going to respond"… "I don't care" and threatening to ban the users who dare to ask a question the admin doesn't like. Such answers are to be expected from someone who's too young to understand that poor communication of an admin is absolutely inadequate and makes people even more confused.
>>1988>>1985I agree with both of you.
No. 1995
>>1985/snow/ is being repurposed. A thread being moved to /snow/ is not necessarily an indictment against the thread.
For example, I'm not saying the Dakota thread is "bad". I just don't consider her to be a lolcow.
A thread may be moved back to /pt/ if interesting drama or events occur.

And people can ask questions in here. I just don't want them begging for threads to be reinstated.

Otherwise, it will remain banned.I understand that the choice of threads that are being locked may seem somewhat inconsistent compared to what threads aren't locked, but other threads will be locked and/or moved in the future.
I also understand that some people use this site specifically because they enjoy some of those threads and may disagree that they are low quality. You can use this thread to arrange other places to discuss those people. For example, PULL. Users could also create one or more 8chan boards or subreddits, if they want.
>>1997There is no specific criteria. Activity of a thread has little to do with its quality.
No. 2002
>>1985Seems like only the people still actively making fools out of themselves or staying relevant stay in /pt/, seems fair enough.
Can Micky still be discussed in the Kawaii Black Girls thread since she was included in that group when the OP made it and still had an active thread (until locking)?
No. 2003
All that's left on pt is like Kiwifarms' rejected stuff. This is all so arbitrary.
It also seems like a lot of the threads geared towards a specific section of readership are the ones that have been moved.
>>2002Eh. One could argue that Charms, Sere, and even Kooter are still actively making fools of themselves.

>>2003Koots is basically just photoshopping herself (albeit ridiculously), Charms is slowly declining, which while interesting and kind if sad, it's not really entertainment anymore, wheras the people who remain like Onision and Margo are legitimately insane.
(I guess theres the weeb section too like PT which I don't really have an opinion on, but yeah)
No. 2009
The whole shifting things based on admin's opinion to show, and deleting things in snow, seems pretty fair given that it's admin's choice to curate how they see fit.
However, the decision that anyone who tries to bring back or mention a deleted /snow/ topic will be banned doesn't fit in the rest of the decision making, and it honestly just reminds me of how /cgl/ goes on crazed banning sprees for tenuous reasons.
If admin is happy to move threads back into /pt/ as said
>>1995 , then why can't the same be done for a thread in /snow/ if a flake starts producing relevant milk? Wouldn't it make sense to just move all of the locked topics into one containment thread or something rather than banning people who want to offer up any potentially worthy developments?
Again, just asking questions

No. 2043
>>2030Not saying she isn't a cow, but saying that she's not really doing anything cow worthy at the moment, which seems to be why admin is moving all those threads. All the cows moved from /pt/ to /snow/ had some big drama like that but these days it's not as crazy. Like, the JNig thread got moved even though there was a small explosion of interest with her FTC violation and possible tax evading.
Also the Kiki thread should be moved since she's not even active online anymore.
No. 2044
>>2040what you are proposing makes zero fucking sense.
Just because a bunch of shit threads or threads of people that don't generate milk are made, does not mean that a lot of people are interested in discussing them. You will never know how many people are actually posting or samefagging in a thread, only admin knows how much traffic a thread truly generates. The Taylor thread, for example, is filled with bitter shitposting and samefagging. Should we keep a vendetta thread to satisfy one psycho?
Why don't you just move on if you don't like it? why should admin delete it if you don't like it?
No. 2045

The only cows who're consistently lulzy are the Palmeros. It's odd to have a thread locked because there's a lull in what they're doing right now. If you lock all threads where there isn't some major drama every day, there's only going to be Margot left.
I do feel like admin would rather this site doesn't exist, so really why not nuke it and try something else you'd like to do? (I'm not even saying that in a nasty way but if you're not getting anything out of it any more, then why bother with the hassle?)
No. 2048
>>2046This.
I mean there are loads of threads that I couldn't care less about (ie:Keemstar and his stupid neckbeard drama, actually neckbeard-related threads in general) but if other people want to comment on them, more power to them, I just hide them and move on. Why is that hard?
No. 2049
>>2043The problem with that is you can make the same argument for PT at times since she goes on and off the internet. If not having milk atm is enough to go to snow, then PT herself would have not qualified for her own namesaked section during the drought.
I think Jnig wasnt pt worthly until like right now because of the orlando donation thing which is pretty big. So it shouldnt be in snow.
No. 2053

>>2041>And what the fuck is with the "no talking about Taylor R." rule?There is no rule. She can be discussed in the jvlogging thread, as mentioned.
>Are people really going to have to petition Admins to bounce threads back and forth between /pt/ and /snow/ dependent on their recent drama as opposed to past accumulative drama? Because that's the way I thought it actually worked, in which case the biggest cow of all, Kirsten, needs to have her thread moved to /snow/ too.It's a mix of many factors. Having no active drama of interest is necessary, but not sufficient, to be moved to /snow/.
>>2041More threads are going to be locked.
>Honestly, I feel like all the dead and shitty threads should have been lockedThey will be when/if new posts are made to them that don't contribute any interesting content.

No. 2054
>>2047Aly isn't interesting right now because she's recovering a little. She's more of a dormant thread than a dead thread. The Aly thread was
not full of anachans - they've been contained in the main thread. I don't admin doesn't like to see the distinction. I don't mind so long as we can have an Aly thread in future when she goes to shit again.
Also I agree with the anon who said Ash's thread should be pulled. It's just newbies asking the same questions over and over.

As others have said I'm 50/50 on these choices. Some of the threads probably needed locking, like the pro-ana one. But others, its just weird. Same with moving so many threads to /snow/. Every cow goes through a lull in lols, the only ones actually being constant with the milk is Margo and PT. Might as well move everything else to /snow/. Sheena is still in /pt/ and she does nothing, despite her shitty history. The thread is nothing but her twitter updates and making fun of her ears. I suppose Onion still produces shit everyday. And I really don't even know who the other twats are. /pt/ has like three people in it, lol. I agree with just consolidating them both together tbh.
Also, if we make a beauty guru/ lifestyle Youtuber thread in /snow/ would we be able to talk about Jillian in that? Or is there one already up, I didn't see it.

Anons who're trying to get the ana thread started again in here you need to stop because it's not going to bring your thread back.
Go post on an old abandoned chan if you really need to sperg about Crocker and Whann with each other. Here's a list of chans:
http://allchans.org/Some haven't been used for 3+ years (eg nahc4). Some of my favourite hangouts have been dumped, but jfc, I'm not about to start spamming this thread with Aly observations. Find some other place because IT'S GONE FROM LOLCOW.

>>2095I don't get it either. The whole point of this site (to me) was to sit back and laugh at the cows, but the EW and Crocker obsessives used that thread as if they were emailing them but lolcow gave them anonymity.
I don't think they'll flock on the Ash thread tbh. Ash is genuinely severely anorexic and so there's nothing to bait her with. The dickhead anons are pure vendetta posts.

>>2097Yeah, it's not like they could point out that one was already made when the old one hadn't been updated since March 9th. If they were really interested in shit talking Jillian, they would stay current with what she does, and I wouldn't have to show evidence cause they'd already know about it.

Come on anons. You're arguing against facts unseen. How do you know that a thread that seemed fairly active was actually two shitposters? Admin confirmed that in the pro-ana thread.
We all praised hellweek, so what's wrong with binning threads that not even heavy moderation can control?
It's summer, and everyone who has an inkling of board culture knows what happens. Most of the threads locked contained those who can easily call their underage whiteknights to come shit up the place.
Besides, I can't blame anyone for wanting to take some pressure from maintaining a board that obviously cannot self-police itself.
