http://8ch.net/girltalk/res/3360.htmlIt can't be done for 4chan because they've added lolcow.farm to the URL spam filter. No one can get here via a link from 4chan; they have to Google for it or type/copy it into their URL bar manually, which means I can't see that they came from 4chan.

Why not just ban spam?The thread was too far gone, and the discussions in both threads were pretty much converging. I'd prefer to have just one containment thread rather than two at the moment. It was pretty much choosing whether to lock the reporter thread and redirect people to the /pol/ thread or vice versa. The reporter one was much more active at the time, so I went with that.

Hey why did the site go down today?
No. 1250
I literally just came here to complain about this when I saw
>>1248, so I'm actually relieved to see I'm not the only one having issues with this.
Very recently the volume of ana-chans, or more likely superfats who'd like to believe they have an ED, has increased dramatically to the point where the board is suffering some degradation in quality.
I don't have a problem with people discussing ED's or swapping weightloss tips or whatever, but it's starting to trickle out in other threads and temporarily derailing them.
It's actually getting as bad as the rampant race posting at this point, where if you disagree with somebody or comment on how something like 80lbs is not typically a normal weight you get labelled as fat or obese.
Can we have a rule that users can't rabidly post about this shit outside of delegated threads for the topic?
No. 1261

>>1260, my numerous reports and what is going down in the kawaii black girls/white girls threads right now.
I get that raceposting is allowed in /b/ but it seems reckless to disallow these threads within /g/ and then leave them open to the mercy of raceposters on /b/ and is honestly completely ruining what could otherwise be really good threads.
I actually come to lolcow for good content and it's these individual idiots that are destroying the board and I don't know why they haven't been banned yet when it's obvious they're the ones causing these problems over and over again and bringing the overall quality of the board down.

>Never once said I was sexy. Fit, yes. I never once said you couldn't be thin and fit either.The opposing side was derailing, too, and I was not taking a side in the argument. You were just the only one self-posting to such an excessive degree, which helped fuel the argument.
You injected your ego into the argument, made yourself a target for trolling and ridicule without being aware of it, and took the bait every time rather than ignoring them. Also sometimes called acting like a "lolcow".
No. 1335
>>1334Yeah, and literally every single one of those posts were in response to ana-chans screaming "FAT FAT UR JUST FAT JELLY MAD FAT".
I'm an idiot for being baited into it no doubt but there is a problem here that multiple people across all boards are complaining about and not only are you blatantly ignoring it, you're banning people that are arguing against it?
Do I really need to go make a compilation post of all of the ana-chan spam posts made in that thread as a retort just to drive your attention to the fact? If I remember excessive shitposting in a thread of which the soul intent is to irritate and derail is against the rules. Where is their ban?
One part of me is like "Admin has a life too y'know he can't police this shit 24/7" but I think you desperately need to take on more janitors within seperate timezones at this point.
No. 1338
>>1336But seriously, you realise in that banning me and whoever else was arguing with them you're sending them the message that what they're doing is completely fine and contrary to the established rules?
I still don't understand why I was the only one banned. I deserved the ban for selfposting, but they deserved a ban for shitposting.
I say they, it was likely one other person.
No. 1339
>>1333So I basically got banned for forgetting to spoiler.
Holy shit this is hilarious. How about you go over to that thread and do something useful like handling derailing? There's some girl in there selfposting.
But nah you're probably too busy banning people for telling others to stop derailing and for forgetting to spoiler.
We need a better farmhand, or am I the only one that thinks this?
No. 1342
>>1339For the record, I didn't ban you. I'm just telling you that that's probably why you were banned.
There are several "Farmhands" not just me.
No. 1345
>>1339I was the one who banned you.
>>1338I personally consider somewhat on-topic derailing a lesser problem than excessive self-posting by one individual in a short period of time.
I strongly considered banning other people, but many different posters were involved, and I decided against doing so until/if a more concrete rule is in place. There is currently no specific rule banning derailing, except for race derailing.
I will be discussing proposed solutions to the weight derailing issue in Wednesday's chat. I do think a new rule will probably be added.
>>1341Farmhand is the capcode shared by all staff members except me. There are several of them.
Why do you feel too intimidated to share issues? If someone gets banned and complains about it here, I'll justify their ban with evidence. Otherwise, ban appeals can be emailed to me and discussed privately, to avoid publicizing the details.
Please feel free to share any issues you have, ban-related or otherwise, publicly or privately.

Like, I really appreciate what you've done with the site, and I love using it. I also love that I can express my opinion about farmhand without getting banned, it's pretty neat.
Also yeah, my ban was for something silly like a couple of hours, but I just like to complain.
No. 1349

But yh it's good Admin is not a hypersensitive cuck that bans you for criticism.
No. 1350
>>1348The only reason you were banned for it is because this is the 8th time staff have had to spoiler images you've posted, including nudity and semi-gore. The image itself wasn't that bad in this case (

Is there a way to make a thread watcher? I assume it's probably complicated, it's just that in a big thread for example, I will leave it for a while (because things don't move super fast) and by the time I come back I don't remember where I was. Maybe this is just me being stupid?
Also just wanted to say thanks for lolcow and the non-insane administration… you are really on top of needs for the site and it's really great.. you have really made this place not a shitshow at all and it really could be especially considering 200% of the userbase is fucking crazy.

>>1720Townhalls are still held regularly. I don't have a set schedule for them: I typically put an announcement up at the top of every page 1-2 days before, and the day of.
The lack of chatlogs/transcripts is my fault. The big issue is that there's often a ton of off-topic discussion before, during, and after each chat. It's a lot of work for me to edit that out every time.
If you want, I can just maintain a running log of everything said in the channel, and hope people don't find it too annoying to sift through all the crap. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "too embarrassing to show". There's certainly a lot of useful and productive discussion in them as well.
Regarding Farmhands: could you please cite specific posts made by them, or moderative actions you believe they've taken, that you have an issue with?
No. 1729
>>1720In Admin's defence Anon I get the feeling you're comparing lolcow to 4chan in its operation.
lolcow is nowhere near as big as other existing imageboards and it undoubtedly never will be. Admin is making $0 off of the maintenance of this site and neither are the farmhands.
I expect it's actually incredibly difficult finding trustworthy people who understand the board culture and its history well enough to be able to moderate it.
I've personally never had a problem with them. I mean moderation response can be a bit slow, but what can you do, it's a small board.
No. 1730
>>1722I don't mind sifting through the crap. tbh it just felt like you'd decided it wasn't worth the effort.
I say 'embarrassing' because the OT discussion is usually just a bunch of immature jokes and keking.
regarding farmhands, it's nothing that's been done to me personally, but I keep seeing posts from people who've been bestowed short-term bans for activities that wouldn't make someone used to board culture bat an eye. for example, samefagging the pony thread, or posting an image in the fat hate thread that was considered 'too gross'. it makes me think that some of the farmhands really don't have the experience necessary to make judgement calls in certain situations.
I probably came across as irrationally angry in my initial post, but I'm just worried that this kind of thing, if it goes unchecked, will spiral out of control. Choosing your janitors/mods is important–the last days of /cgl/'s drama-mongering era is a testament to that.
Plus that all we know about your choice of mods is that they're people you know in real life & 'trust very well', which…I would like to say that I trust your judgement, Admin, but just because you know them IRL doesn't mean they have a sensitive grasp of chan culture or that they're guaranteed to be fair moderators.
No. 1732
>>1730The pony thread in /b/ has a specific rule, which is visible at the top of the thread. The poster (from mlpchan or wherever) was intentionally trying to "protest" against the rule. I was the one who banned them.
Also, mods are people I know and trust very well. Janitors are people I only know through the site. Any staff member of any rank can use the Farmhand capcode. All janitors and mods have used imageboards for many years.
I can guarantee there are and will be very few moderation issues stemming from decisions made by an individual staff member. Any issues that may occur will likely result from the staff member acting as I instructed. We've only had one instance where a janitor was moderating too heavily and taking their own initiative. I removed that janitor.
So, take the issues up with me, because odds are I am the one performing, instructing, or approving any staff actions. This board is far too small for overzealous or rogue janitors to ever become a serious issue.
No. 1741

>>2081I respect your opinion, but I also feel strongly that this should be enforced globally. I don't plan on changing it.
All links are auto-archived, all videos are archivable with a click, no threads are ever deleted or pruned. The general philosophy of the site is that "the internet never forgets". It's also generally agreed upon that posters don't have some special or exempt status; a user of the site can be just as much of a cow as anyone else. I think it's counter-productive to maintain a site dedicated to archival and permanence, yet allows users to delete something a week later because they suddenly decide it's embarrassing or changed their mind or whatever. Embarrassing posts deserving of ridicule won't always be secluded to /pt/ or /snow/.
There've been several cases where self-posters and other undesirables have deleted things immediately after they were caught, which spoils the fun. That was the impetus for making the rule.
I think 4 hours is a fair delete window. If you made a major typo or mistake, that's enough time to notice it and delete it.
>Also, if admin/mods are having so many people emailing them asking to be able to delete posts that they have to explicitly state "do not email us to delete posts" three timesIt's only happened 2 or 3 times so far. A week ago, I changed the delete error message to make it very clear we won't delete their posts. Since then, we haven't received any requests like that.
No. 2090
>>2089You can't prevent people from selfposting.
It's up to the users to moderate themselves in this regard as people are only going to stop selfposting when they discover that contrary to it being beneficial to their online status it's actually detrimental and this can achieved through mocking the selfposter and ensuring that their idiocy remains preserved in the halls of /snow/ and thus easily searchable by friends/family members/employers etc.
No. 2099
>>2088Understandable. But if that's your reasoning behind the implementation, then why not make it so no post can ever be deleted?
Let's just look at the past three days in the Trashley thread on /pt/. Numerous posts containing milk from a first hand source have been deleted, making the thread both disappointing and disorganized. This "Jamie" person posts emails and then immediately deletes them. How exactly does that enforce the idea of "the internet is forever"?

I wasn't trying to 'avatarfag,' nor was I looking for attention. It was genuinely just something for my friend to see, so I could possibly lighten up their day since it's something we both enjoy.
But since you're really that upset about it that you are willing to report me for posting a certain picture or gif, I'd rather just stop doing it.
Admin, I wasn't aware I was breaking any rules, and I wasn't aware I was 'avatar-fagging,' since I don't believe I am self-identifying in any way. If you see fit to ban me for posting a certain type of reaction image, I suppose I understand. But I will stop posting them from now on to prevent further butthurt.

>>2273This. I very rarely actually check /b/ now save for a few choice threads because I feel like it's become the "male board".

I don't even have a problem with men posting, it's fine so long as they're providing solid content to the site, but I'm getting tired of them all announcing that they possess a dick like it somehow makes their worthless opinions more valuable. It's funny because when on boards like /r9k/, where most of these cucks have originated, mentioning your gender in passing even when it's 100% related to the content of your post will get you savaged.
Can men announcing their gender in posts that have literally nothing to do with their gender become a punishable offence please?
No. 2288
>>2287It's been a bannable offense since day 1. Every one of those people has been permabanned for it, when we see the reports.
The problem is that 1) people will sometimes not report a post until long after it's made, if they report it at all, and 2) it sometimes takes us time to deal with reports.
The combination of these delays means someone may not be banned until long after you first see their post. And most people don't scroll back up in a thread to re-read old posts to realize that someone was banned.
The most important thing people can do is report things quickly and consistently.

>>2433>Can we have a rule about linking threads like tumblr to pt?I'm going to assume you meant "linking lolcow.farm threads on tumblr".
They apparently removed the links, so all that's left are the screenshots and name references. I'd prefer if they didn't name the site, but I don't think I'm going to make a rule like "you are not allowed to say 'lolcow' on other websites".
I'd strongly discourage someone from posting a direct link, but I can't exactly ban people from mentioning it. Retards from tumblr and MPA will find, and have found, this site one way or another, and I can't exactly try to censor all external mentions of lolcow. I'd probably only ban them if they're doing it in a particular way that would attract undesirables, and if they're in a thread making it obvious they're the one doing it.
In this particular case, if they didn't edit out the links, I might've banned them.
However, generally speaking, I'd be much more inclined to just gas certain infested threads, or ban many users in them if outside invasions are becoming a real issue.
All that said, the way the tumblr post was written makes the person sound either underage or very immature. I won't ban them for mentioning the site, but if you're going to mention the site elsewhere, everything else you post there is fair game for moderation. So, they will be banned for that.

>>2770Wish you wouldn't leave, you're the kind of posters that I am trying to maintain the site quality for.
The site is definitely busier than it used to be because there are a lot of new posters. It's good that we are getting more content but there are also a lot of clueless newfags in the mix and I would like to weed them out without alienating the general community. I want to take a pretty hands-off approach though because I want the community to have its freedom.
If people are really upset by some of the issues then they might as well leave. But I am hoping long time posters will stay and help work out the changes. I try to stay as objective as possible here.
No. 2820
>>2819When you say 'weed out', could you elaborate on some of the tactics that you have planned?
I'd like to think that we don't have to get rid of the newfags so much as we have to work to teach them the ways of farming. we were all new once. I think emphasizing a 'hands-off' approach to our milking would be a good idea since that's been an issue in the past, most notoriously in the Pixyteri threads of Bygone Times and the Kiki thread last year. I was a member of /cgl/ during its glory days and always felt that those threads maintained themselves pretty well without too much interference from the janitors. Other posters were fully capable of squashing newfags and their blogposts down to size without mod intervention. I don't know if that phenomena was unique to /cgl/ simply because it was a more active board, or maybe because at that time, we were used to DIYing our moderation since the janitors were p. lax about it.
Anyways, I know that there are a lot of posters who are skeptical about the changeover and worried about the future of the site, but I'm optimistic so far. Kudos for taking on the load, Admin-chan.

Also, if a PULL influx happens/too many newfags come around, maybe making a sticky thread in both /pt/ and /snow/ would be beneficial in explaining the board a bit and what to do/not to do? I know you link the rules, but most probably don't check them and if they're PULL they most likely don't know how these types of boards operate and will make stupid mistakes like starting threads for existing cows because they don't know how to catalogue/not knowing how to quote/thinking you need email/etc.

Honestly, when it comes to robot shit, couldn't they just be deleted altogether without even moving them? They all say the same tired old stuff; if you've seen one, you've seen them all. They don't continue posting over in manure, they just make new threads, so it doesn't even contain them really.
But still thankyou, mods!

Threads are being derailing by users talking about Taylor R. and promoting her videos.
Since no one can keep taylor just in the j vlogger thread I made one for Taylor.
There were no trolls and it was legitimate thread with links and summary. One of the farm hands deleted it immediately once a proper discussion was started on the thread.
I think one of the farm hands is a PULLtard.
Admin please allow a Taylor thread that will not be deleted by a farm hand who likes her. I'm sick of seeing her in other threads that have nothing to do with Taylor. She needs her own thread.

>>3213 >>3214 thanks. Well, here's my complaint:
Some anons lack of common sense and share the adress or information that may help others find the exact adress of someone, like in Taylor's case but I've seen this in many threads. One thing is bitching about behaviors and other is exposing that kind of information, sometimes they live with more people you know? That's stalker level and more than one farmer could be interested in trying to interact directly with the cow in real life, scary. If you find something well, good for you, but sharing that is not right tho.
No. 3216
Is there any way to block cows from being able to view the site? There's a few cases I've seen (most obviously the Kadee one, but I've heard of others) where someone links them here, and they end up lurking and shutting down any source of milk as soon as we find it. Would it be possible to somehow just redirect users that are admitting to being the cow themselves to some other page whenever they try to open stuff here?
>>3215I agree doxxing is a shitty thing to do, but I imagine that if people start actually harassing the cows in real life that would come under global rule 1 wouldn't it?
Actually, I was just looking and I think it comes under this
>No egregious stalking or harassment which crosses over into the real world. No. 3220
>>3215as stated in the rules, "Personal information of people aged 18 or older, including names, addresses, and phone numbers" is allowed to be posted. The exception to this being "No egregious stalking or harassment which crosses over into the real world." There are some posts made where a person is doxxed and has no involvement with the drama, and we do deal with those as best we can. If you see something being posted that seems like it is crossing the line (and is the exception to the rule), let us know, and we will take care of it.
>>3216This is something we can look into, but considering that a lot of the cows change IP addresses often, I'm not sure it would work 100%. It is something that can be brought up with the admin though.
>>3218We deal with /r9k/ posting as quickly as possible, but a lot of robots just change IP and come back again. It's a constant effort, as everyone knows. If someone had a suggestion of something we could do, then we can consider it.

>>3222There isn't anything we can do about someone crossing the line in real life, but it's not something that has happened at all. In most cases with these people, they put their own personal information out there online (addresses, contact info, etc.) so really when you see it getting posted here, it's because it was already out there. As stated, if we see something crossing the line, or bordering on harassment, we deal with it. If we see family members with no involvement in the drama being posted, we take care of it.
>>3223As long as you're familiar with the rules, and don't do anything to identify yourself or go over the top, you're more or less fine. That't the point of this being an anonymous site.
>>3224All of the spam threads have been dealt with now, and the users are banned. It's annoying for us too, and we deal with it ASAP.

Sorry admin and farmhands, but the Venus thread has turned out to be a terrible idea. Sure, there are real posters there but they have nothing to say beyond they don't like how she looks or what she does.
There are definitely Margo-supporters trolling that thread. For example, repeating Margo's story about Manaki contacting her when she was 13 as if it is fact (a favourite lie of Margo’s), when the old Venus threads have the evidence in them that she was not 13 but 16. This Venus thread\, if sincere, should inherit from the old Venus threads - it doesn't. The OP doesn’t even know Venus’ name!
So now we get two different threads in the site, one using facts and inheriting for the old Venus-Margo threads, and one just making up whatever they want. This site has enemies and they come here at Margo's behest from time to time. That youtuber, Vexxed, is just one of them. Why are you giving them a forum to bash Venus and spread misinformation?
We're talking about a known abuse victim here. It's a fact supported by third party witnesses and by visible bruises, both of which back Venus’ telling of it. The circumstances since leaving Margo make it clear Venus is recovering from something and is at times struggling. She knows the supportive things we have said about here and PULL, and has thanked everyone for it.
Why is this pile-on of a young woman who is still being abused at a distance by her mother (and trying to find her freedom as an autonomous person) permitted to happen here? Some of these Margo supporters are absolutely vicious people with problems of their own. They literally help Margo to continue her abuse of Venus, whether it's swarming insta or swarming Taylor's YT comments, the shit they say is evil. I'm not talking about naive supporters of Vexxed who don’t know better, talking about those who know the whole deal and still really want to hurt Venus. We don't call them “minions” for nothing. They’re abusers themselves.
Like for Taylor, standalone Venus discussion should be contained in the jvloggers thread, where real thread members outnumber plants and trolls. I know there are real members in the current Venus thread but there’s nothing to say beyond they don’t like her or her looks, and they are definitely in the minority.
Sorry to write an essay but I’m very concerned you’re allowing this to happen.

No. 3323
>>3311>>3313>>3314>>3315>>3316>>3317>>3318>>3319We've left the Venus thread for the moment, mainly because it's essentially acting as a containment thread. Between all the Venus and Vexxed stuff going on, the Margaret thread has become totally derailed. Once the thread calms down, and things are sorted out, we do plan on letting people know that Venus can be talked about in the Jvloggers thread, if it's relevant (which I imagine it may be considering her new friendship with Tay).
>>3320Wordfiltering is a great suggestion, but since he already knows about the site (as per his new video about Lolcow and Pull), I am unsure if it would make a difference at this point. We have made a thread for him specifically in /snow/ (to act as temporary containment), and have warned users that posting about him in the Margaret thread will result in a temp ban if it is irrelevant to her.
No. 3328
>>3311The Venus thread might as well be renamed the Margo thread at this point
Unfortunately, that's the nature of an anonymous image board–Margo's friends are allowed to come here and sperg out, just like the rest of the herd. Short of nuking the whole thread (or censoring any comments taking the side of ol' river gremlin) there's not a lot that the moderators can do to 'defend' Venus. These kinds of imageboards are supposed to be impartial environments to in order to foster discussion; imo the administration shouldn't be encouraged to step in and 'defend' people who find themselves the topic of a thread, because that's just opening the floodgates for other lolcows to demand that their threads be moved, taken down, or their negative comments be censored.

No. 3453
>>3452I actually did get banned for that. I wasn't aware that "avatarfagging" is a thing and not allowed. I have since stopped.
Thank you for unbanning me. I actually came here to ask some questions about the rules so that I don't break them again. This is the responsible thing to do before I start posting again after all, right?
So I get I was kind of newfagging asking about Onison in that thread, which is the post listed for my banning. Got it. Someone even replied to me with a helpful link to read all about him anywyas which was nice. Otherwise I don't really have questions about any of the lolcows because hey, why else would I be here?
I was prettt curious why I was banned for Nixon but the Putin person wasn't. Now I see they probably were too, so that seems fair.
So back to my original question so I don't fuck up again- I get that this is an anonymous message board, so continually using an avatar is going to defeat the purpose of that. But when I post, there is a "name" field, and even an email field if someone so chooses to identify themselves. People even tripfag on other message boards. Now don't get me wrong, I don't
want to do this. I'm going to post here anon from now on. But is it a general rule of thumb to not use pictures of the same person, or from he same series, for example, in the same thread just for continuity? Additionally, I do have a lot of Nixon reaction pictures that I like. Will I get banned immediately if I use a few more of those pictures down the line, if it's relevant?
Thank you. I appreciate the clarification, and it was a pleasant surprise going on my phone today and seeing I could post again. I really like this site and I am capable of posting in a mature manner.
No. 3458
>>3453I'm not a mod or admin, but here's my take on it.
Just post them where they're relevant. Be smart about it. Avatar fagging was banned from 4chan long ago, it's a rule that was brought along from 4chan when the board was formed.
Tripfags are annoying, and in some cases they should be banned. Yet in a handful of cases it's sometimes useful, for example when we get someone who knows a cow personally, if they use a tripcode it helps keep the knowledge they're sharing clean and from being skewed by retards who may try to imitate them/troll. They really should only be used for that reason.
No. 3461
>>3459>>3453The name, email, and subject fields are for information relevant to the thread topic; for example (as mentioned) when someone who knows a cow personally shows up. There is no reason you should ever use those fields to identify yourself except when it has to do with the thread topic. This is an anonymous board and your identity is not relevant in any way, shape, or form. The only important thing is information and discussion about the cows.
Specifically when you discuss using images "for continuity" – that is not helpful or relevant and is often detrimental to a thread (as with the Putin guy.) Might be different in /b/. If you are looking for a community of identified users of any kind, if you really feel like you need "continuity", this is honestly not the website for you and I am saying that to help you. Look for another website that allows you to make a profile for yourself.
No. 3464
>>3461I get that now that I've been going through old threads and seeing when it's relevant. I never wanted to use a name or trip, it was more of a "well if people do that, then why am I being singled out for using Nixon pics?" Kind of question. Then I lurked more and realized that it just doesn't happen here and is not needed. I was doing it mostly in /b/ and thought the rules were different there for some reason.
TBH I've been posting completely anon all day and like it much better. I definitely have all of the clarification I need on this, especially after reading some threads in /cream/ where certain types of identification were necessary. Thanks!

The person who's been shitting up the thread insulting and obviously samefagging (posts a reply, then posts three or four after it replying to the opponent insulting them and making fun of them) is much more of an issue.

As for /b/ and /g/, they were split in the first place because /b/ was getting too infested with invaders, and the policy at the time was to do only light moderation with /b/.
We're now trying out the opposite approach and will treat moderation in /ot/ more carefully. Also, we felt there were just too many boards considering the size of the site, and that there didn't need to be a single "safe space" board. Invaders from /r9k/ or /pol/ or wherever will still be banned.
Give it a chance. We'll change it back if it's not working out.

>>3736I honestly think the opposite is the issue too.
Guys getting banned simple for disagreeing, hell, I've seen people banned simply for disagreeing with no evidence they were robots, yet still get that sticker applied to their posts.
A lot more people accusing everyone of being robots as well too.
The merging just seems to have convinced people they can have their own "no boys allowed" club, and use that to shut everyone else out, no matter if you can tell if they're a dude or not.
I don't understand the logic behind merging the boards at all, or why it was necessary, and I think that at the very least some explanation would have been nice, instead of just doing it and then going "Yeah we changed it because we felt like changing it".
At the very least the rules need to be made more clear as far as I see it, as to what actually constitutes a robot (instead of just a person who disagrees with the thread), because there seems to be heaps of confusion, and people using the vagueness to try to turn it into a girls only website, which is silly, because it never was that, and that just leads to stupid fights and insults instead of actual discussion.
That's my opinion at least.

>And now again. I can't tell if someone's retarded or just trolling anymore.What are you even trying to say? Are you just shitposting for the sake of it?
You're going on about the slippery slope fallacy even though we're talking about an actual example of the thing I'm claiming would happen, that you'd get a heap of threads made unnecessarily that fill the catalog with duplicates and make it harder to find what you're looking for.
There's no slippery slope to be had there, we're discussing because of an example of just that, and there's been plenty of others in the past.
What's even your problem here? Do you think we should allow people to create duplicate threads even though there's other active ones? What's your issue with mods saying to check the catalog and check if there's a thread that suits what you want to talk about active before you make a new one?

Comment in the pic isn't mine but I'm uploading it to make a point.
All those threads have extremely similar premises. I understand people want to be more specific with maybe, let's say, sexual abuse, so I understand having a thread only for that and that only, but I don't think we really need an advice thread AND a vent thread. Sometimes that's everything you can find in /ot/ first page: vent, advices, lost childhood, vent, advices, DDLG. Rinse, repeat. Rinse, repeat.
Yeah, i hide the threads i don't like/want to read, but sometimes I end up with only one or two /ot/ threads open, so I think we're getting saturated with those topics lol.
I know farmers come up with threads, not you, but i just wanted to express my dissatisfaction. Things are getting boring and good threads disappear in the sea of the same recycled stuff because most people don't bother to read past page 2.
Also,
What was decided about /g/ and /b/? Are they coming back or not?
Sorry if you already answered that, Admin. Many things are discussed on discord and even though I'm a farmer, I'm rarely online on there due to my busy schedule. I apologize if you and others already decided if the old boards are gone for good.

I got banned for "taking the bait" in it a week or so back because I responded to some retard who kept posting stupid things, even got a public ban for it, which does seem like a bit much seeing as they didn't, but I get the point of it.
Yet there's still people just constantly posting bait shit in it, calling everyone who disagrees with them trans, insulting other users, just being as inflammatory as possible, and there doesn't seem to be any major bans going on.
I'm just kind of curious what the point of publicly banning people who reply to bait, but not doing the same to those who post it? Am I just misunderstanding something or what? Because it seems a bit inconsistent to me.
Also kind of unrelated, but is there an official set of rules for /ot/ or what? Because the rules page still has /b/ and /g/, and I'm not really sure which rules apply to /ot/ at this point, and I've seen people claiming the whole /g/ no boys allowed thing applies everywhere now, so I'm guessing I'm not the only one a little confused.
No. 3972
>>3971>publicly banning people who reply to bait, but not doing the same to those who post it?Not a mod, but it's been discussed a few times that red text is only applied where it will be useful (or funny, I guess) so sometimes you just need to submit a report and trust that a ban/sanction was made.
If a user has made a whole bunch of terrible posts and gotten banned with redtext for it, that's still only one post that's going to have the redtext.
Like you I also look forward to more clarification on the g/ot/b thing
No. 3975
>>3973To add to what I'm saying here, it's not the only weird public ban I've seen.
Someone got a public ban for posting
>I stopped taking you seriously when you used "incel" as an insult.To some person who was going off at another user and insulting them, clearly with the intent to bait.
What rule does that violate?
No. 3977
>>3976That doesn't really answer my question though. Like, even if someone did spend their time picking fights or arguing about things, is that grounds for a ban? Derailing I get if it's intentional, but if someone wants to argue, is that against the rules in appropriate threads? Half of the posts in /ot/ are people arguing about things, half of the posts in any forum is generally that. Or do you mean their post history was nothing but insulting and baiting and all that sort of shit?
And I still don't get why that second post was a public ban, instead of the person picking fights and calling the person an incel in the first place.
I might just be looking at this wrong, but it seems like there's a whole bunch of unwritten rules people get banned for violating, which seems kind of unfair, especially when people don't know what rules apply to the new boards and which don't.
No. 3980
>>3979
No, the issue was that in that context, you were intentionally misrepresenting what a user said, and throwing around incel as a boogieman, same as people do with robot.
You can disagree with someone without doing all that shit, which I think is why that user (and myself) thought you were baiting, because it was unnecessarily inflammatory and had a lot of the signs of a bait post. Not saying you were necessarily, and I assume you're not if you're following up on it here. Though personally I don't think either were worthy of a ban, it was just a discussion, and someone got involved in it and added that you using that particular insult took away from your argument as far as they saw it.
And sure, I get that we can't see post history, I just brought it up because I got hit with a similarly weird ban for a post that didn't seem to violate any actual rules a while back for replying to what I saw as bait, and I was sort of questioning if I'd missed a rule relating to that or not, or why those sorts of posts seemed to be getting given public bans so much. And no, I'm not some long term shitposter or anything, I've contributed to a few threads on /snow/ with content, and though I do like to argue admittedly, don't feel I'm particularly rude with it or intentionally derail threads. Only time I've even been warned with anything was when some actual incel was throwing a tantrum in their thread, and the whole thread got told to not reply to their posts anymore.
Just seemed strange to me, and I was hoping for some clarification on it, as well as which rules actually apply to the new boards, because a lot of people seem confused about whether certain parts of /g/'s rules apply on /ot/ or not. I'm more interested in the latter part than anything else at this point really, like, the rules page hasn't been updated to have the new boards on it, and it still says that baiting and shit is okay and that mods don't ban just because they don't like the content. I was kind of hoping we could have the rules updated to be a bit clearer on all that.

I kind of decided to post this here instead of
>>2 because it's more of a user gripe than anything.
This is probably nitpick and dumb to most people and probably hard to enforce, but can we make it so spoilered images can't be used as the catalog/first post? I understand quite a few of them were not spoilered and then spoilered later, but it's a little annoying when trying to scroll down to find potential milk or new threads and the image is broken because it's spoilered.
When users do this, I just scroll past. There could be potential milk, but I don't look into it if the thread starter has no visual, you get me?

No. 4131
I'm concerned about the cow sticker used in the fakeboi thread.
The user sounded immature but did nothing except express their point of view. The rest of the thread is full of blogposts and personal opinions, and so singling out that one post reads as a bias on the part of the mods. Please explain this decision.

It's incredibly convenient to have (more so than Discord) and everyone seems to love it.Based on this and other positive feedback, we're now trying out a Chatango chatbox. It will appear in the bottom-right of every page (subject to change).
You do not need to enter a nickname or register an account to use the chatbox. Anonymous messages work.

This is a definition of derailing from one of the old mods (emphasis mine)

What matters is that they keep the site up and running, tackle any hiccups responsibly, keep mods and janitors in check, ensure our IPs will never be used against us, make sure the rules are enforced, keep communication open with us, and maintain a tidy site. If they're female and can do it, so be it. Let them be admin. If they're male and can also do it, fine.

>>4505agreed. also tired of seeing "(sage for off topic)" on giant fucking diary blog posts. Now people think all they have to do is sage and they can go on about themselves. The fuck is this? Can we not make it clear this isn't welcome, since it's never relevant enough to warrant the intense snowflakey attention-grabbing of it?
it'd clear up a lot of the problems with ana/munchie/incel threads, too, which have been continued issue areas.
I know new admin doesn't really give a shit about this place anymore, but can we have some clear set rules or some shit? or give it over to someone who will set them? I'm also tired of invisible bans, because they're giving mixed messages to newfags. Like, yay, the offender is gone until they proxy, but now there's a bunch of retards who think it's fine to emulate that behavior.
I'd be happy to step my ass up and volunteer as a mod if the problem is there isn't enough active ones, but it seems like the mods are all on different pages and none of them know what the fuck to do half the time. If Admin (and I mean no disrespect) doesn't want to put their foot down and do a real hellweek with clear, set rules, then we either a) need the position filled again or b) need someone to sit in as 'dictator' and help create some real order
iirc Admin was looking for someone capable, but this place is gonna just turn into a useless pull-copy shit hole at this rate

I used to love the munchie threads during the time of Kadee and Robyn but they have really gone to hell since the actual munchies turned up. Now they are like the ana threads, attracing the actual problem to the board. They are creating a hug circle for themselves while they compete for attention in the munchies general thread.
I also debate the merits of people talking to Kelly. She's a mentally ill person, the thread is just what talking to a mentally ill person is like in real life. They confuse it for 'milk'.

I think people that engage with robots/incels/similar idiots should be banned as well. All they do is give them attention and feed the troll, they end staying because they get the attention they want. It's very easy for them to evade bans so not replying to their bullshit is the best course of action.
