Hello anons, we are the new admin team! We are a team of three taking over for Shaymin.
Our apologies for the delay in introducing ourselves. There were scheduling issues between us and the old admin that made getting access to everything take longer than we wanted, but we are now in a position to work on the site. To begin with, we have removed the raid spam that had been lingering for the past few weeks. As far as introductions go, we are a team of 3 consisting of two devs and a liaison + project manager to keep communication flowing between devs and farmers. We are all farmers with 5+ years on the farms and have volunteered to keep the site up and running. All changes will be announced on the site before they are implemented - currently announcing this via banners is unreliable, so please check this thread for updates.
To clear up some misinformation: we have had access to the admin panel/moderation tools you all know of since the original transfer, and almost all of the old farmhands have stayed on board and have been continuing to moderate during this time. The discord post you have seen screenshots of was poorly worded, and was referring to a lack of access to the site infrastructure (which we now have). The 3-day site outage was due to the server bill not being paid, which should not be a problem in the future. The whole team is actively monitoring for CP to purge as soon as possible. Please continue to report it!
There are many technical issues with lolcow that we have to deal with before we can make progress. This may mean we have to migrate the site to another imageboard platform, in order to ensure the long-term health of the site (and the sanity of the farmhands). If we are going to do this, it will be done some time from now and in collaboration with our users. We will give you a chance to test and feedback on the new platform before we make the change, and it will be done with ample (48 hour minimum) warning.
We are open to any questions you may have. We are looking forward to the future of lolcow, thank you for your patience nonas and may the milk flow. ♥

>>51183Yes, we do plan to have a hellweek some time in the future! We'll announce it when the time comes.
>>51184Moderation practices are currently they same as they were under the previous admin, but we are planning on making changes (and following them with a hellweek) so stay tuned.
>>51185First of all, there were around 12000 spam posts. The way the moderation tools work means that we would have had to delete them one by one (because they were posted in a way that made each one appear to be from a unique user). The way they were removed in the end was by directly interacting with the database, which we could not do until yesterday.
As for the rest, there will be changes to moderation practices in the future but at the moment we have left them as they were under the previous admin. Farmhands are continuing to work using those guidelines.
No. 51191
>>51190so everything that was weird about the site is now being blamed on the old admin? convenient but whatever. why the long silence too? other anons have pointed out that you could have just logged into a farmhand account and made a post clearing things up.
i just think it's weird that you were called out on being shady and now all of a sudden you have access to everything and we are all in lala land happy on the farms.

Thank you for clearing up what had happened in between the changing of ownership of the site and the days after. Glad to see that there is a team of admins instead of one, as it is a rather heavy burden of being a sole admin of an imageboard and the farms do unfortunately have a history of admins wanting to leave after a short while.
With your plans for the future, I agree on the migration of the site and hope to see a CAPTCHA to dissuade spam, bot posts and similar rubbish that tends to pop up nowadays, and I like the fact that you guys are while to wait for feedback from the user base before permanently migrating the site.
Communication is something that a lot of people forget about when managing something that takes a team effort to make things run smoothly, so don't forget to talk things out between the three of you! I have high hopes that you three stay together for a good while ♥

>>51215>>51220I liked the policy of not taking down old banners even when they're outdated (like the good luck Manaki and Venus one) because they're a part of site history. I get the disgust at the Mystery porkchop banner, but aside from that it comes off as pearl-clutchy. 50% of cows here have done some form of sex work, having no banners that reflect that would be weird imo. Also encouraging farmers not to browse LC in public is probably a good thing kek.

Welcome new admins, this makes me excited for the new era of lolcow.
>>51314I agree with this on snow or pt but I don’t think it’s a good idea to over-moderate discussion on other boards. I agree it would be good to give a warning (and only after that ban) when the discussion is really OT or going on for too long but not for a short farmer arguments. It’s hard to say what is discussion and what is infighting sometimes and it might result in a boring squeaky clean twitter-like site where no one can actually say what they think.

I have to ask, under this new ownership will things like picrel (farmhands getting into petty infights with anons, and then exposing their IP or post history) continue to happen?
No. 51381
>>51371A: My favourite cows are pixielocks, momokun, venus, kiki, shayna, stefany. Shaynatorium was a good containment board for the deranged shayposters.
J: Shayna, Kat/Stormy/Morgan, Brina and Sandra, I miss fitveganginger and Aly. I support the Shaynatorium, I think the Shayna edits get insane in a fun way and it would be nice to have a place for Shaytards to just be shaytarded.
S: Venus angelic, lori lewd, luna, holly/projared and dasha/julia. Hard for me to choose which from those but back in the day kota was a big one I followed as well outside of pixy. I follow momo and kiki and stef too but they can be kind of slow at times tbf. As for shaynatorium… I kind of agree with Aimee here, it was a good containment channel for the really unhinged posters, but it had the funny moments here and there. I'm always all for containment channels if it helps.
>>51373We are all in different timezones but they still allow for us to work together well.

>>51390agreed kek. plus how do they intend on dealing with VPN hoppers? so basically the only people that will ever know who is actually spamming vs someone getting caught up in the spam is Admin?
Can't wait til we see how this plays out in a few months when the admin "team" inevitably stop checking the site and then we get more sorry blogposts from farmhands explaining why they can't stamp out spammers because they can't see post history to decide who is spamming and who just got caught up in it. so as i was saying a while back, the site is dead.

>>51397i looked at it myself and i don't see any harder samefagging? if you look up the ip it even tells you it's a fucking vpn. how very experienced to use a free vpn ip to prove samefagging. the explanations given in there make complete sense and farmhands being
trigger happy because they can't handle being told they're wrong is certainly an issue we keep seeing…
No. 51404
>>51399Vpn ranges, even free ones, have several different IPs when they're given to the user, not literally one ip for everyone. Like another anon in that thread mentioned, the possibility that they catch the same ip, use the same vpn provider, use the same thread, within the same time, while posting, and responding to eachother is absolutely freaking abysmal. Other than that, no one would sperg out this hard and viciously if they were innocent kek.
And io and behold, it seemingly just turned put to be the tranny later in the thread anyway.
No. 51405
>>51404yeah sorry but i'm not believing anything those dumbass farmhands said. they were by far the worst and shittiest farmhand team we have had since i started browsing in 2016. they'll claim any vpn is the samefagging tranny cp spammer kys kys or whatever as if it means anything and as if they are trustworthy. i don't know why you're willing to die on this hill as a random anon when (i assume) we all just want to shitpost safely on here and not feel like any dumb post could
trigger the bpd mods to fly off the handle and post all your shit
No. 51408
>>51394Do you think spamming and samefagging are the same thing? That anon wasn't spamming, they samefagged their post to make a joke about toxoplasmosis. Not being able to publicly reveal someone's IP address or their post history doesn't mean they can't ban people. I wish some of you would get some reading comprehension or at least bother to look at the full situation before jumping in these conversations.
Anyway, at the end of the day it was extremely dumb for that farmhand to fight with that anon and reveal an IP over something as petty as samefagging to make a stupid joke about cat piss. They could've just been banned and left it at that. At least the last time an anon's post history was revealed it made sense and was reasonable, this was just dumb. I wasn't gonna bring it up but keep in mind that whole debacle was around the same time a farmhand also redtexted an anon for venting about cancer, and another anon for venting about racism.

I wish I could have extracted it because there might have been good info in there but my dumbass accidentally hit the call button while investigating.

also, what's the plan for the CP spamming? how will it be dealt with? is it being reported to the authorities, or is it being investigated? importantly, are you receiving support with dealing with it (the clean-up and the trauma of seeing it), and are you making sure any jannies working with you will be supported too? we really need some communication about this, even if it's only vague, because it is happening on a daily basis at this point and tbh the site feels nigh unusable most of the time because of it.

But in HimeAhri's thread some anon is dictating that asianfishing and photoshopping is "old milk" even if done literally yesterday. That shit's still funny esp since she isn't growing out of it at all.
fwiw imho it should not be permitted on lc to pick apart cows' kids or excessively comment on their appearance (pos or neg), it contributes nothing even if the commentary is positive. It makes me feel uncomfortable to read people praising or shitting on a toddler's behavior or looks

>>51612I can verify that this is true. I believe Sandwich is an ex of Josh’s or an insane simp because when she was impersonating Josh describing his type, she literally described herself. Straight after this, she’d go on her regular Sandwich account and rage about Josh and call him a fat incel etc in a way that seemed oddly personal….

Hi anons, this thread has really derailed, huh? Speculating about who is Elaine, who is Blaine, and who is the tranny in threads is unproductive and should be ignored and reported. Stop namefagging. Staff who are found to not be female will be removed from staff. We are re-verifiying everyone. Moderators who reveal IP addresses of users will be removed from staff. Our new admin, Sentinel, has no relation to the Sentinel being discussed in this thread. It seems like they unfortunately chose the same name, our Sentinel chose it as a game reference!
>>51382We changed the color, we will only be using one color for the three of us. I believe Shaymin’s admin tag was purple.

>>51602Our plan will be to establish a separate web page that lolcow.farm will lead you to when the site is down. This webpage will have updates regarding site maintenance or unexpected downtimes. When downtime is anticipated, we will communicate that at least 48 hours before downtime is scheduled. Our plan for CP spam is to implement relevant features offered by our hosting service. Any information about it has been handed off to the authorities, to our knowledge. As far as support for having to see it, we will do everything we can to have further CP raids seen by the fewest amount of human eyes.
>>51597See above response regarding spam. As far as banning VPN IPs, anyone who got their VPN IP banned can appeal it, as chronic spammers rarely reuse VPN IPs. Note that we will check whether or not the IP belongs to a VPN! So don’t use that as an excuse to appeal other bans.

he was literally one of the first people invited. why??? he was not verified in peanut gallery. at least i don't think he was. can anyone else confirm that?
i bring concern because if these people are still running the site(or not? idk) the same thing could possibly happen again. honestly if you just delete whatever new discord you made, i will drop it. you can't knowingly just bring psychos like that around people who aren't aware. he's a serial doxxer jfc.

Elaine is literally an adult and she can close her damn laptop and touch some grass if she doesn't want to be involved in online drama. Humiliating herself and consenting to do so isn't abuse. She isn't being extorted for those images. If she had enough proof of abuse to make a police report she would have but instead she makes up grand stories to cover for her own incompetence. If the police were to uncover the interaction that led to those videos being made, they would find Elaine had consented to it and not under dubious circumstances either.
Furthermore, Elaine, you have been the one distributing child pornography of yourself. You will be held liable too.

>>52010I was mistaken.
Look. I’ve been holding this in for a while but I’m pretty sure that Sandwich has somehow Bluespiked Null on top of everything else because it would explain the lore she knew.
Something is really odd about the fact that he used to say he had some friend who kept up to date with my thread that he’d send my emails to instead of reading them & that he knew things I’d only told her.
It was probably her who lied to him and said I spammed cp in the first place and it would make sense that he’d believe it what with her habit of manipulation and self incrimination.
I really believe she was hoping to get two in one, and Josh if you see this, call the police.
No. 52014

you? Blaine is a tranny who gets off on invading female spaces. He tried and failed hard to blend in here and once he was told to fuck off decided to invade our spaces with CP which had a way of getting posted when he's angry. It's so obvious and so typical of trannies and what's worse is he (likely you) believes his trying to confuse things now will make people forgive him or give him a second chance at being one of the girls. He also has well documented history of suss behavior with minors, of lying and pretending to be other people, and of using VPNs to harass this site. Anyone trying to obfuscate shit here is probably Blaine. Elaine is involved probably with her vendetta against sangwich. The others just want to see the world burn.

I mentioned before that I stopped talking in there after it got weird. I barely knew what was happening in there most of the time. I have never claimed to be close to the former admin. I wouldn’t say catching up every 3/4 months is close.

>>52299>>52300ive tried to mention several times that the secret hugbox on discord that shaymin made (with good intention) was a fucking disaster and the women there treat themselves like some weird lolcow royalty. especially the one schizo who screams about the kiwi tranny and "blaine" conspiracy shit. i think she never gets banned for infighting because she kisses whoever the new admins asses are to some insane extent. i have no idea why it was allowed to get this far or why anyone on moderation was ok with it

i love the term cerbmin so much it’s fun to say. I was in the new discord and it was cool chatting with other nonnies but I can see where the security issues arise especially if you want to focus mainly on the site. Do what you have to do cerbmin, take care of LC!
No. 52337
>>52298It was a smart decision to remove the discord.

>>52416In tinyboard mod.php there's usually the option to view reported posts and recent posts. If the farmhand is viewing the recent posts panel then posting "bump" in random threads would make the CP harder to find. In the reported posts panel, posts are ordered by most reported. The problem could be that there's not enough reports for CP for it to be at the top of the reports panel, so the farmhand would then have to look through the recent posts panel to find the CP so they can ban and delete which would take longer due to having to get past "bump" posts.

You're worried about one bump post wasting a cow thread but you want them to make entirely new threads to bump? The fact that your prioritizing keeping cow threads bump free over nonas not having to see cp is very suspicious. I hate to pull the tranny accusation card, so if you're not a tranny you sure do type and rationalize like one.

>>52428Like I said, they could make a thread or threads with whatever random shit they want and bump them, so that they are easily deleted later.
You must be a newfag so let me clue you in on some things. A short while ago, so faggot moid was spamming "bump" unsaged on any thread he could find. At this time he was also posting gore and cp while doing that. So when anons would post "bump" to hide his shit, they were also getting banned. I think it's just best to not muddy up threads with cat pics and bump, and to just make a new thread. That's why we have pics like picrel. I feel bad that whoever made it hasn't seen it since it was made but w/e.
I don't even care about "wasted post", but like, they it's annoying esp if they aren't even gonna delete the word "bump".
No. 52439
>>52433That image gets used in bumps all the time. Anyway, this "wasted posts" argument doesn't make since because, we're on a digital website. You can't waste posts and if you could then making a thread would also waste posts. Actually, sone anon in /ot/ made a thread to warn against raids and anons like you still complained so it never got used. And a lot of the time it takes over 30 minutes for spam to be deleted so anons can't just delete their bumps posts after it's deleted.
Also, I just have to point out that iirc the whole reason anons started bumping threads is because staff was doing such a bad job of cleaning up. Your issue isn't with an occasional post that you have to take half a second to scroll past, it's with bad moderation and crappy site software.
No. 52449
I fully avow the posting of kittens and such during a raid. It is also kind of a protest if the mod team is taking too long. But when/if it seems like there's no longer an unreasonable length of time being taken imo it's probably best to report and move on just like anywhere.
this is a good one too

does make those groups visit more. however trannies don't really care either way about interaction because they're angry at the site in general and want to take it down. but there's a reason you get banned for interacting with males. calling anons moids/trannies should be bannable simply for the fact that anons using those insults are assuming they're talking to men, and therefore should be banned for male interaction

>>52685Nta but
>g/m/ot were later additions several years in, This is straight up not true kek. Lolcow started in 2014 (which you can see if you go back to the very first post ever made). /g/ was made in 2015. /ot/ came in either 2016 or 2017, and if the other anons are right about it being /b/ then it was around since the start. The only new-ish one is /m/, which was added in 2019.

Moids cause more problems now because of the reaction they get.
Men weren't and still aren't forbidden from posting on LC because banning males is impossible. LC is an anonymous image board that was originally created for the discussion of cows from /cgl/. Becoming a women's only website is something that happened over time. I'm not in anyway complaining about it, I'm just giving an explanation as to why it's worse now than it was then. If a moid came here and acted like a retard he got laughed at, reported and banned then the thread moved on. Now there's a constant paranoid hysteria that anyone with the "wrong opinions" is a moid.
No. 52759
>>52745This is true, there's no way to accurately police gender on an anonymous imageboard. It was basically "don't announce yourself and try to garner attention as a scrote and you won't get banned". They didn't used to achieve the hours long derails they do nowadays. But that was before either a portion of the userbase adopted radfem ideology, or we had an influx of radfems because women's spaces were being invaded online. (Not sure which one but probably a bit of both). I know personally I'm more open to radfem ideas than I was back in 2016, but that's because I've watched moids garnering undeserved rights at the expense of women and children the past few years. With the polarisation of politics and censorship online the moid problem was naturally going to get worse, especially as this place has become a bit of a haven for some of us. But yes, unsurprisingly all of this has led to farmers becoming more paranoid and treating LC like a kind of collective consciousness, and not a bunch of anonymous users with individual belief systems. I've also noticed a more recent trend of overly aggressive anons who type like they're underage, or from twitter, crying loudly about criticism of cows in literal cow threads… like that's not the original purpose of the site. They frequently throw around moid accusations, or imply you're misogynist for wrong think. I assume they're just new and are under the impression feminism is an requirement for using the boards in general. Personally I think they're just being performative to censor discussions they don't like, much like they would on social media. Ofc this is just my interpretation so other anons might percieve things differently.
No. 52765
>>52763it's really obvious the anons defending that are the ones simply using it as an insult. it's the same as hi cowing, we're not allowed to do it for a number of reasons. anons will and should get bans for any male accusations, even if they're true. it's interacting with men, minimodding and most times derailing. report button exists for a reason. men aren't supposed to be on the site and it's not trolling them or pissing them off to point them out, they're here because they
know they can't be here. even trannies, they're only here because they know they're not women, they just come here because they want to annoy us, not be part of our space. and all the anons saying only trannies or men get angry when those insults are thrown around are
definitely the ones using them, because no one wants to be insulted period, especially in such a scathing way.
No. 52766
>>52765No. Just don't fucking respond to someone calling you a man, who the fuck cares, they can't ban you, just ignore them.
Nobody is here to make a hugbox to cater to your feelings, it's an image board, part of what you have to accept into going to any of them is that you don't respond to everything.
Just dismiss them as a moron in your head it's what I do, sure you can do better than I right?
No. 52769
>>52766also, moid accusations
are what makes the site a hugbox. notice how no one is calling for anons to stop accusing anons of being pick-mes or handmaidens, you can't report someone for having bad opinions. male accusations on the other encourage other anons to report the poster, it's not just a simple insult, it's disruptive. if someone calls you a moid, other anons who agree will report the poster, causing unnecessary reports.
No. 52770
>>52768see
>>52769. it's not about feels, though it clearly is for you.
No. 52773
>>52771well, it's because of the dynamic it creates. it's not about it being an insult, but the implication of the accusation. anons making scrote accusations are doing so to isolate that poster in some way or another and align others against them, which is what hugboxes do. anons often tell others not to engage with anons they think are men, replying to posts directed at the supposed men saying not to respond to them. and those anons sometimes believe the accuser and reply thanking them, which validates their position. it also goes against the idea of being anon, it doesn't matter what the content of the post is, you're trying to assume who the poster is. this kind of dismissive tactic happens in hugbox communities all over the internet. it achieves the same thing as when sjws call everyone they don't agree with nazis on twitter. or how trannies call everyone terfs. it's fine to disagree with opinions, but it gets dangerous to accuse anons of being specific posters, this includes men. calling an anon a pick me or tradthot or something like that, doesn't achieve the same thing because those aren't bannable offenses here, that allows others to think for themselves whether or not to engage, rather than painting the anon as someone not allowed to be on the site that you shouldn't engage with.

>>52785>To warn other anonsWhy? Anons can't do anything about it which is why reporting and ignoring is what needs to be done. The farmhands are the ones with the power to remove moids. If a poster is an obvious moid he will get reported by multiple anons. All you are doing by acknowledging the moid's presence is giving it the attention it desires and encouraging it to come back. I don't understand why this is a difficult concept. Men come here to cause disruption and get female attention. Derailing a thread into moid accusations does exactly that.
>>52791>Ignoring them is accepting themThat's why it's also necessary to report.
>What do you think happens if they aren't told they're unwanted?Men already know they are unwanted but that is exactly why they come here and by giving them the attention they are looking for you are encouraging them to keep coming back. Moids think it's funny to come here and troll. They enjoy seeing threads get derailed and relish the reaction they get.

>>52807LC has existed since 2014. If moids cared that deeply about LC it wouldn't still be online. LC isn't a secret and it's existence has always been known by other lolcow sites such as /cow/ and KF. /r9k/, /fit/ and soyjak.party are other notable boards that know about LC. LC is included in a list of known image boards that is maintained by the coder of 4chanX. All these moids are aware of LC yet the site is not ddos'd to oblivion because the majority of moids simply do not care.
Moids come here for various different reasons. Some know that it's an image board but not much else, some are curious as to what an image board full of women is like, some of them come here to raid the site and cause disruption because they hate women and want to destroy something that we enjoy. There is nothing that can be done about the first two groups unless they make themselves known, the third group is looking for a reaction and if you refuse to give it to them, visiting LC quickly loses it's appeal.
What you are suggesting is not congruent with reality. There are not legions of moids trying to infiltrate LC. If there were the site would become overwhelmed very quickly. What LC does have is a few mentally ill men in dresses, the odd wandering /pol/tard and occasional raids related to soyjak.party and KF. The CP spam is a serious issue but it's likely that it has more than one cause. One being trannies and the other being spam bots. CP spam has been an issue on image boards for decades and LC is no exception.

>>52811Yeah, plus you can just look in 4chan archives anytime to check. They aren't even trying to hide it on there. I did so yesterday and saw a post on the tranny board with the exact same retarded staff tinfoils you see spammed here.
It's really funny how the rhetoric keeps shifting from "no moids post here, you're delusional" to "okay maybe they post here but only very little and you should get banned for realizing that" to "okay maybe they blatantly post in many threads but it isn't that bad". Lmao.

>>52451>>52452We’ve not faced any difficulties removing CP because of bumps. We agree that if you are going to bump for CP, an image should be attached to your bump - this thread is full of good options. Once undesirable posts have been bumped from the first few pages, further bumping is likely unnecessary. If you are able, please report the post you’re bumping for! It makes staff’s jobs much, much easier but we understand it can be shocking to see and all of you may not be able to report. Creating new threads to bump porn/CP/spam is not preferred.
>>52462The adriasdome may be allowed on the same basis as the Shaynatorium. It will need to be set to autosage and visitors should be aware that due to its shitposting nature, reports for “retarded”, “infighting” etc. will likely not catch bans.
>>52480We will implement hellweek as soon as possible! First, we need to see if any adjustments need to be made to our staff, then we need to implement them. Next, we will need to set up an “apply for staff” Google form. Then, we need to hire new staff (reviewing applications, interviewing, getting them set up with mod tools). Then, we need to collect votes for rule changes and update the rules. It will take time! However, a good, solid hellweek with a clear direction will be more beneficial to all than a rushed hellweek.
>>52570>>52506>>52508>>52788>>52792Anons accusing other anons of being male or trannies is similar to accusations of anons being Blaine or Elaine. The ideal result of calling other users male/tranny/BElaine would be anons realizing a poster is baiting, reporting their post(s) and ignoring them. The actual result is posts upon posts of infighting about who is male, who is a tranny, and a clogged-up report queue full of “reason: blaine again” “reason: moid” “reason: tranny.” We have purposely done very little moderation in this thread to illustrate what our resident unhinged posters can - and will - do to threads, and why anons should report and ignore them. This is to say nothing about violating anonymity of other users. If you are bothered by this derailment, keep an eye out for farmhand applications. Personally, I would love to issue bans for this “calling out” behavior. However, this site is about all of us. Keep your eyes open for updates on how to vote for rule changes.

>>52838I swear, you can't even decide on a statement. Do anons have persecution complexes and moids totally don't care about lolcow or are moids indeed frequently posting here? Are anons calling out moids who then derail a thread? Or is it totally innocent posters (who wouldn't have a reason to derail a thread over it in the first place)?
And the positive outcome is that with self-moderation like that, we don't end up like CC, cgl or any other infiltrated imageboard or women's space. You can yell "just report!!" as often as you want, but it won't stop moids from trying as long as we don't have really active staff and stricter bans.

I know anons have different criteria of what makes an oldfag, but Aimee and Sentinel have been on the farm since the beginning - they were around for cgl shitposting, Stamina Rose and Sentinel was in the kaka stickam streams.

No. 53200
>>53189Am not the anon who mentioned culture but I’d like to chip in.
For me personally, it’s the endless repeated conversations, especially ones that contribute nothing in terms of milk (jvlogger thread in particular, or just /w/).
People don’t read past threads and expect to be spoonfed. The most irritating thing at the moment for me is when someone replies to a post and says that’s not milk or that contributes nothing, only to get accused of minimodding/wking/moid/tranny/shutting a thread down - they’re discussing the cow so it’s allowed. I know people like skyanon exist but there’s a reason why some threads lie dormant, and this isn’t PULL?
I guess what I’m saying is, maybe some rules need to be amended because everyone in /w/ seems to interpret them how they see fit?
I think most oldfags will share this sentiment somewhat.

>>53200. the site got worse during covid and was getting bad before, but tiktok users name dropping the site has caused a huge influx. i think trying to keep sjw stuff out is basically a catch-all for most of the issues. the sjws are the ones crying about non-milk, hi cowing and making moid accusations because they want to focus on sjw topics like racefishing, abelism, etc. they end up derailing threads by trying to shut down actual discussion with infighting and insults. you can see on /w/ and /snow/ they get super aggressive with anons who try to discuss things they aren't interested in.
No. 53241
>>53189>Would you clarify what parts of the board culture you feel have deteriorated the mostFor me it’s been the thing that killed all other imageboard cultures. Now it’s happening here. It has become politicized and the politics are forced into every conversation and is expected to be a hive mind. Sure I love my radfem and gender crit anons but at some point it has become some edgy wokeness that derail thread after thread. At least on /ot/ and /m/. I can’t even discuss video games without some anon losing her shit about how I can’t like this or that because it isn’t radfem enough.
Other than that, as for /w/ and /snow/, it’s the spoonfeeding. When I was a newfag back in 2017, not lurking before posting was a huge no-no. There was a culture where I as a newfag genuinely would to my research before I posted. Also thank you for asking us these things admin, I’ve wanted an admin to ask us this for years kek
No. 53245
>>53241I’m not comparing lolcow to PULL but that’s exactly what happened there too.
And I feel exactly the same RE lurking before posting etc. the amount of times I feared getting redtexted for not knowing my shit!
That is also part of the problem here, you’ve got a mix of old vs new. I think whatever you choose to do admin, it’s gonna take a lot of work but please persevere. I don’t think you’ll please everyone but there needs to be clearer rules, it’ll help with the moid/tranny/minimodding posts if anything.
While I agree SJWs are annoying, you can’t escape them anymore as cancelling people is what everyone does now. I tend to just ignore that shit.

>>>/w/281627 Things don't need to be how they were in 2017 but the boards were a lot more fun then. WKing and minimodding weren't tolerated and we were free to laugh at cows, express opinions, and speculate without fear of retaliation.
Now it feels like your opinion has to be the "right" one to not be red-texted. Also, while true tinfoil is pretty silly, the rules state that the problem is "tinfoiling without basis to a claim." Many things red-texted as tinfoil had ample basis for the speculation. I daresay that lolcow as a whole tends to see connections and reach conclusions in interesting ways. Often we're (speaking collectively) right in the end. Kiki's posts, Sharla and Chris dating, Creepshow Art, Corpse Husband's identity - just naming a few. All started as speculation.
Bad tinfoil - that whole thing about Dakota being an escort for yakuza or whatever seemed without basis imho. It was tinfoil that should have been reined in after awhile.

>>53241There used to be a clearer line about boards in general, too. Like it was fine to rag on trannies but no-one felt the need to make threads to obsess about it. Or if they did, they kept it in /ot/ where it belongs. Now it just spreads like a weed. Same with the 'radfem' thing although that's worse imo because there's nothing radfem about it. It's just reeing at people who don't agree and sperging that men exist. Radfem is already misunderstood. Now these twitter rejects are dragging it down further.
>>53249That's the biggest problem to me, actually. It wasn't minimodding as such but if you came in hot as a newfag, you'd have a real bad time. Lurk more was meant as a literal get the fuck out. Anons were a lot better at not derailing or getting hung up on bait, too. Then one of the admins got a bee in their bonnet about it and the culture started to change to what it is now.

>>53262Do you have examples of newfags doing that? I barely see it on /ot/ or the /snow/ threads I visit. Most of the time when I see posters get called scrotes it's because they write like scrotes, which has been practiced for years. So this sudden statement that it's actually all twitter/tiktok/newfags seems really suspect to me.
It reminds me a lot of when the pinkpill threads, board and everything relating to it got shut down because certain people here on meta claimed it's 'radfems from reddit and twitter ruining the board' when it clearly was just regular users posting in it. Hence why shutting it down just made the entirety of LC pinkpill kek.
No. 53294
>>53290>because they write like scrotesBut what does this mean? How do scrotes write? Why is it different from how a woman would write? How can you be sure that it is a scrote and not just a woman that's angry about the topic being discussed? Is there a set definition of how a scrote would post?
Anons that defend baseless moid accusations keep saying "if you don't want to get called a moid, stop posting like one" but the scope of what is considered moid like has expanded to include anything that the accuser doesn't like.
No. 53306
>>53298I never said moids can't be indentified, I asked what differentiates a post made by a moid to a post made by a woman. You have not answered that question. Outside of the obvious, such as spam and blatant trolling, if a moid were to attempt to post without revealing itself how is it possible to tell based on the contents of a single post?
There is no set definition of what "moid like" means because what qualifies as "moid like" is personal opinion.
>then why are you saying to ignore and report them?Because mods can view post history which gives them more information to make an informed decision. You as a site user can't and can only guess as to what posts were made by the same IP.
>Anons see someone who writes like a moid based on our shared experiencesLC is an international site with women all over the world. Women aren't hive mind with a shared consciousness and neither are men. My experience of men both IRL and online probably differs from yours so outside of obvious moid posts, we would both come to different conclusions on what is a "moid like" post. Again there is no definition of what "moid like" means.

>>53241>I can’t even discuss video games without some anon losing her shit about how I can’t like this or thatthis.
I know admins are busy with deleting spam and stuff, but they need to bring back bans for infighting and derailing. I used to hide the threads which annoy me but I can’t keep up anymore, everything gets derailed with the same few topics that already have their designated threads. It’s just too much, plus the fedposting and a-logging is getting a bit out of hand at times since the site has gained more attention by people who come here with the intent to troll and fuck shit up. In the end it doesn’t matter if something was posted by some unhinged resident anon or a bad faith actor. When I came here years ago there were bans for this and overall post quality was way higher than it is nowadays compared to other chans, which was what made me and probably many other anons like it here in the first place.

You're claiming the identification is only based on opinion, therefore it's subjective and irrelevant, making those "baseless accusations".
>You have not answered that question.I did, I said you'd know if you visit moids boards for a while and notice the differences, or just been here long enough to know what gets redtexted.
>Outside of the obvious, such as spam and blatant trolling, So then your own questions/statements don't apply anymore? How do you know it's not a woman spamming and trolling?
>There is no set definition of what "moid like" means because what qualifies as "moid like" is personal opinion.There is no set definition because we're talking about humans and not
math equations. If we'd name behaviors that imageboard moid posters have in common and that are unlikely to be posted by women (which we learn through experience, not personal opinion), the moids/trannys that try to fit in would stop doing those behaviors. But that would not stop making them men.
>Because mods can view post history which gives them more information to make an informed decision. How is that relevant if that decision is based on opinion? Why would they need a post history if it's just their personal opinion?
They look at post histories and judge what they see based on their experience what moids post.
>Women aren't hive mind with a shared consciousness and neither are men. My experience of men both IRL and online probably differs from yours I am talking about experience on this imageboard (and others), which is a shared experience. Btw judging by our experience doesn't just apply to moids, but also newfags and twittertiktokredditkiwifags. There are behaviours more likely for those posters that you recognize them by.
No. 53376
>>53373Nta, I don't usually go around accusing people of being scrotes because I just report, but if you're curious as to what a really obvious scrote post without them announcing their penis looks like, take a look at this anons posts in
>>>/m/276439 and see his writing style. It jumps out in his use of smug girl anime reaction pics, the I'm-better-than-you attitude, the mansplaining despite being a newfag in this setting etc.
Now as far as I'm concerned, this could have also been a woman that was on /a/ for too long, but in this case I highly doubt it. I believe most of the times nonnies accusing other nonnies of being scrotes is bullshit and is more used as an insult than anything else, the truth is most oldfags do type like men sometimes because they came from imageboards.
There is a difference between sexes when it comes to writing styles, and it mostly comes down to male/female socialization. Just look at female vs male work culture e-mails and you'll notice the obvious difference, studies have been done about this shit. Obviously, this is not something we're born with and it's completely learned and because of that I don't consider it to be a proper way of discerning whether somebody is male or not.
