Even if I don't think you did much, thanks for keeping the site afloat and alive Shaymin. I hope whoever the new admin is will still give us a new site and I hope any future site updates and improvements can go a lot smoother.
>>49339I definitely agree with this but
please no more discords. Anywhere but discord. Updates should be somewhere here on /meta/ and if the site goes down I would even be ok with using the lolcow twitter account or ko-fi for off site updates.

>>49341samefag, i'm critical of Shaymins decisions but i wish her the best for the future. Just stop with this lynxchan girly forum bullshit. Shaymin, find an anon that knows how to replicate lolcow looks and content wise. that's how this problem would be put to rest.
cause it doesn't matter if a new anon is chosen, if that new anon does the very same thing, everyone's going to be upset either way. And hard agree with other anons, updates on lolcow, not on discord please.

>>49344i'm afraid they'll eventually find a way to work around new site as well. I don't hold much hope. it's the problem with people, not website.
sorry maybe i'm too pessimistic but i don't believe the new website will be bulletproof. keep trying ofc i'd be happy if was though.
Just if you can't make a new site look like good ol lolcow then at least make it look like crystal cafe, idk. oldschool vibe of this site is the charm of it, trying to make it modern lolcow 2049 site is kinda pointless imo.

Prioritize software that mitigates raiding, keeps nonnies anonymous. That's the important part. If it can be kept looking like an imageboard, great! If it can't, as long as it's navigable cool. Have a couple more farmhands on deck than we do at the moment.
On the userbase-end of things, let's breathe more and if you think someone is a scrote/tranny/etc just don't engage with them and let it go. Maybe they're a weirdass woman or maybe they're a moid but so many threads derail just from throwing the accusations out there.
I appreciate this place a lot for being an anonymous place specifically for women, even if its main purpose has always been looking in on and laughing at trainwrecks. I hope we get through these trying times nonnies.

>>49364>>49365>>49366Ayrt, yep but this was inevitable i think. I wanna say maybe it wouldn't happen (the outrage) if Shaymin didn't make the unfinished site public so fast, but idk. Perhaps overall reaction would be just as strong if anons saw newcow later (because nobody knew details, just new site coming and maintenance on this and this day). Also the reaction is as it is because imageboard users are what they are. I get you guys are fine with new site, and good for you then.
Shaymin reacted extremely childish on top of it all as well and it didn't help.

>>49378Agree. that being said, all recent drama aside, and admin's absence aside, i get why would she quit. For me just knowing that you're responsible for that site would be more than enough stressful.

I'm begging of the new admin to implement this.
As for the changes, I'm fine with whatever as long as /m/ is spared. The best board on the entire site. Sorry it ended up like this Shaymin and I thank you for taking care of the site for a year, but I hope the next admin will communicate better because I didn't even know lolcow had a discord before reading this thread and I had always been confused about how anons knew shit that was never announced anywhere. The previous admins always put up a red big notification text about townhalls and maintenance downtimes across all boards, I was always expecting something like that. Also I hope the next mod team won't get into fights with the users so much, sometimes it was obvious they were banning people they personally disagreed with but let infighting in another thread go on for days.

next mod team so that's why I made that post, because who knows if those farmhands will stay or not.

>>49499This. It's a legitimate slippery slope. We saw that one mod in /ot/ (the dog love thread) reveal a poster's IP in seconds because she was disagreeing with her even though it could've just been someone using the same VPN, and it was over such an insignificant non-issue too. And the other mod who combined all of the Manifesto-chan's posts by her IP and shared the screenshots after dropping her mod trip.
Traditionally the only times user posts are identified are when the cow is threatening the staff such as with legal action or alternatively self-posting about themselves in their thread like Creepshow did since the site rules have stated that acts like this might lead to the removal of your anonymity. It should be done in extreme cases only and after a careful investigation, powertripping over random posters ruins the site that's supposed to be anonymous.

Really it's the internet, if you're not goofing off and having fun you're using it as a simulation for life proper and that will only lead you to a path of negative ruin. Do you know ultimately all that's been done? Jack shit nothing.
The internet does not and will not and never will matter, if someone gets censored for it a new site instantly opens and guess what? Most of this shit minus the trans bashing I can say to most anyone irl and not get clocked in the face. Realistically some people got a bit too hooked on feeling like some righteous crusade and ngl playing a heel is fun. I doubt the new admin and her team will have the same issues of incompetency so sadly we will not be able to play that game shortly.
I know how I could ban myself forever without affecting others or needing to bother with a VPN blanket ban so I assume the new staff will too.

i hope shaymin sees this, i wasn't able to find lc for weeks now but i do appreciate your trying. it is a huge job and i really am grateful for your trying. it's very understandable to be overwhelmed by all of this, but know there are people here who understand and appreciate your trying. honestly i don't know if we attract admins/mods recently that are really underage in comparison to our older admins like regina, but i don't think shaymin is as nefarious as some people want to believe. i totally get if you're just not equipped for a massive undertaking like this. it's a hard job that requires a lot and i appreciate your trying, especially since oldmin just wanted to burn it the fuck down and got extremely angry and vindictive over her terrible moderation efforts (trying to spite a majority of the userbase who were here far longer than her bc she disagrees with them politically and hates radfems) it's just too bad there wasn't more communication and a more comprehensive mod team that you could've could have on board, admin. overall, considering you were just overwhelmed and overestimated the workload, you did not do a bad job, seems like you just needed more help, time, and freedom.
unfortunately, it's probably quite difficult to update and maintain LC while also finding mature mods to combat all of the evil shit men try to ruin our safe haven with, even crystal.cafe has that problem and snail is a good admin who does a lot despite having a life. is there any chance she might want to take over LC? we have so many people here who are willing to pitch in. but we desperately need thicker skinned mods who aren't pissy and admins who aren't offended easily. honestly, despite oldmin's competence, she was extremely petty and awful. worse than shaymin by far. shaymin is just overwhelmed and probably young, it seems. remember, oldmin was only 19 - WAY too young to take on an imageboard this large and too thinskinned. most of us are considerably older than our admins and i think it's proving to be a consistent problem recently. i really hope snail considers taking over LC, becaushe she's an actual farmer with good intentions and she's very skilled.

Ian wasn’t the site’s admin when Kiki went on her rampage, which lead to her ip being tracked and getting her own header.

Gc and

Most people hated oldmin for a whole lot of reasons but the stuff about boohoo muh gendershit is 100% retcon retardation. There was a handful of obsessive autists who desperately wanted to make this place manhate / gc. It didn't work so they went and made their own board. It lasted a while and is now basically the same half dozen spergs checking in. So they came back here and went back to harrassing staff until they finally got what they wanted.
