Hellweek is over. In the next day or so we will update this thread with some statistics about moderator actions over the last 2 weeks, as well summary of what we have learned and any changes for the future.

The core of this community is (and always has been) discussing and documenting lolcows. This site exists to serve farmers. Part of the reason that board culture has degraded as much as it has is due to the number of posters who are not here for the milk, but instead to use /ot/ and /g/ like a chatroom and without any attempt to integrate or use the site as intended.

The quality of posting has also dropped significantly in recent weeks, particularly in relation to blatant bait being posted in /ot/, /g/, and in milk threads that attract a certain crowd (such as Tradthots). A lot of this traffic is from ban-evading spammers and tourists posting in bad faith, but they are only able to disrupt threads as much as they do because of how many users keep taking the bait. We have noticed that many long-term users see this for what it is and have been calling it out, but the number of other users who continue to engage with it have been exacerbating this problem significantly.

If you are not a farmer, you are merely a guest here. You are a welcome guest as long as you integrate and follow the rules. If you continuously post without regard for the rules or board etiquette and culture, that privilege can and will be revoked. Frequent rule-breaking, infighting and trolling will be met with a permanent ban. You can screech as much as you want about how the site will die without your low effort shitposts, but we do not care. Slower boards with better quality posts is preferable over the current state of the site.


During this Hellweek, we want to get the site health and quality of posting back on track, and we will be facilitating this in a number of ways:

  • All topicless, chat-style/shitposting threads will be locked for the duration. Do not make new threads to replace them. Do not try to cicumvent this by giving them new titles.
  • The cooldown required between making posts will be increased to 2 minutes (it is currently 30 seconds)
  • As it has been a particular problem, all posts breaking global rule 7 (racebaiting) will receive 3 day unappealable bans. Users with very little else in their post history will be assumed to be posting in bad faith and be permanently banned
  • Blackpill posting outside of /2X/ will be treated as bait and banned accordingly
  • Every response to blatant bait will receive a ban. Report bait and do not respond
  • Every post accusing someone of being a scrote/tranny will receive a ban. Report suspected males and do not respond
  • Reporting someone you disagree with for being a moid/tranny will receive a ban. The vast majority of reports we receive accusing a user of being male are incorrect. Women are not a monolith and can have opinions that you do not like
  • Reporting posts for retarded reasons will receive a ban, e.g. an anon posting an unpopular opinion in the Unpopular Opinion thread is not bait, please use your brain

As always, please use this thread to provide feedback on moderation decisions throughout the week!

>The vast majority of reports we receive accusing a user of being male are incorrect.
But all we have to go on is suspicion unless the poster literally says "As a man," or something. How are we supposed to know if we're correct before we report? What if some anon is posting shit like "she deserved to be raped and abused it's her own fault" (paraphrasing but something I have seen before and reported as a moid)?
It's Hell Week after all so by all means be more strict about it but what are the exact criteria here? Only report for being male if they explicitly mention their cock and balls?

No. 67918

>>67917
If someone posts something like that it's probably safer to just report it as bait

No. 67919

>>67917
please just report them as bait as >>67918 has said. Generally, if the post is very clearly a moid EG 'as a man…', 'my dick/balls…' report them as a moid. It has to be extremely obvious and/or there is proof and evidence of the accusation that goes beyond 'they use moidspeak!'.

I’m sorry but “female intuition” isn’t some ironclad thing especially not over text. Most moid accusations are on the basis of stereotypes or even just someone expressing themselves bluntly. Unless you want DNA verification to post here there will always be moids who just don’t announce themselves, sorry.

No. 67930

>lolcow is an imageboard for females
But technically, according to the rules, it isn’t, right? It’s a gossip site that has a rule firbidding moids attention whoring by mentioning they are a man. I don’t think ”you can’t use this site if you are a man!!” rule could be reliably enforced though.

>our feminine intuition

That’s pretty hard based on a single post though. Like think about how many tradthots there are in the world? You disagree with them and they have opinions men would have but they are still women.

No. 67931

>>67927
The rule has always said that you can't announce yourself. It was originally meant to keep moids from posting "As a man, I wouldn't fuck her" and "man here, I'd date you" posters, not literally keep men from posting. We can only discourage it and make it boring for them by not replying and just quietly reporting.

At this point is there a way to separate /ot/ from the rest of the site? The milk has been dry for a while and unless you are super into nitpicking fat whore's rolls there isnt much milk to talk about anymore. I think the lack of milk is also part of the problem, pretty much all /snow/ threads have been infested by the worst kind of posters that just nitpick, blogpost, dont integrate, derrail and racebait without contributing much.

I remember farmhands banning typing in all lowercase back in the day due to sticking out too much and lack of integration. We need to implement that more, not all anons who type like that are bad but most are unfunny unintegrated loosers that come straight out of social media with shitty memes.

No. 67978

>>67974
Really? I've been here 6+ years and remember discussion about it possibly being bannable but that never coming to fruition because too many people disagreed about whether it should be or not. I agree about the stan twitter lingo and nonsense like "male lesbian" – maybe it should be just a general integration thing like paragraphs vs reddit spacing, like an unintegrated post may or may not have either of these issues but having them makes them more unintegrated if that makes sense? I also feel like diversity of typing styles can help to make it more anonymous because rigidity in requirements may lead to other tells because not everyone will type exactly the same even if they try to. Maybe I'm overthinking it kek

Nevermind. This plus not being allowed to point out or report moids unless they explicitly mention their scrotum is just contraproductive. They'll use this as an excuse to bait freely all day.

Samefag, but also notice how males posted back then and they weren't banned. Because despite what the retards who post these days say, lolcow did not used to be a female only website, we just banned males who identified themselves. If you see old Hellweek threads, it was never about erradicating males completely but forcing them to integrate and stop attentionwhoreing:

Overt males should be banned, that's it. It's always been that. But sometimes those males are quite obvious even without announcing themselves. If they stay hidden and don't cause trouble who cares, that doesn't mean the moderation should be lesser or let their obvious male bait go unbanned more. It can stick out quite a lot.

Just to clarify, posts that are obviously male should still be reported even if they haven't literally mentioned they have a dick, e.g. the ban evading scrote that keeps thirstposting in the pro-ana scumbags thread. The issue we have is that anons' intuition is really not as good as they think. The vast majority of posts reported for being a scrote/tranny are regular board users posting in a way that another anon does not like, having an opinion they feel a woman should not have, etc. Any user reporting a post for being male where it is actually a scrote will never be banned or punished for it.

As the other farmhand mentioned, that post is rulebreaking either way, so you can just report it as the rule it's breaking (bait in this case). However, anons reporting posts like that for being male aren't the ones causing problems, it's the ones like picrel that we're ultimately trying to stamp out. We get hundreds of reports a day, it makes our jobs harder when we have to sift through frivolous reports. False moid/tranny accusations make up the bulk of the pointless reports, which is why we're targeting them during Hellweek.

ideally we would just have more hellweeks like we used to in the past, but honestly i was thinking the same thing. no one seems to have the balls to just come out and say it but the board has been infested with fucking normies like >>67938 pointed out. i know people get mad when you use terms like that but it's the absolute truth, i am not just saying it to be an asshole or offend people. things wouldn't be so bad here if a lot of the oldfag posters hadn't left/been bullied off the boards, and tbh sometimes it's hard to continue to post here with my own personal responsibilities but also trying not to get into it too much with the people who have come here now.

people do not want to admit that it's more than just twitterfags/discordfags/etc. posting on the boards…they've done a lot to try to change the board culture in the 2 years since we've seen the decline of the boards and imho done a pretty good job of erasing the history of lolcow. i've been here for a long time; we've always had groups of curious cruisers coming in from places like youtube, instagram, tik tok, twitter, but it's never been this bad where they've completely taken over and there's a definite split between the site. i've never been a big /ot/ user but i definitely enjoyed going there when i needed to cool down or just wanted to take a break from gossiping. these groups usually leave after a couple of months because most of them don't like the anonymity of imageboards as they can't obsessively target and harass specific users. i know too we've always had personalityfags but apart of the reason why they've gotten so bad recently is because the normies keep feeding into it. before we all knew just to ignore them and they would eventually, go away and find somewhere else to haunt.

i've also watched these people terrorize older posters who have been here for years in the hopes that they could totally rewrite the history of lolcow. it's become obvious now as whenever you bring up staminarose or early lolcow culture in any capacity, you'll get accused of being a "scrote" or trying to "bait" people because early lolcow was apparently full of scrotes. i've also seen these people say things like "lolcow TO ME is xyz thing that is totally not what this site about". just totally ignoring years and years of history to fit within their own personal narratives, it's bizarre. so to me these people definitely know what they are doing and even if they weren't necessarily all colluding with one another to change the board culture to what they want, their end goal was to gentrify and astroturf the boards and turn it into facebook 2.0.

i don't want to go on too long because i am probably going to get jumped for even posting this but…idk what to think anymore. i like cerbmin, and i've been happy with the moderation so far so i don't blame them for it at all and i hope they can continue to keep lolcow alive as best as they can. but i think this is just a wider net issue as other communities are complaining about the same thing. ever since covid, things online haven't been the same. too much mental illness, too much paranoia from hate watch groups who want to herd everyone onto the big platforms because apparently posting on imageboards makes you a literal terrorist.

I hope that this Hell Week will discourage bait posters and bait takers alike, and that overall we'll see more effortposting across the site.

I think you're right that this issue goes beyond lcf. it's a cultural problem with complicated roots that I'm not sure any of us can adequately address… but all change starts with the individual. Speaking your mind and sharing your perspective as a genuine oldfag brings us one post closer to a healthy and thriving imageboard.

For other anons concerned about this i guess just report it as bait instead of as scrote unless they specifically mention their dick. RIP to all the real ones who don’t do this and suffer a ban for trying to keep the place scrote-free.

Its just arbitrary clearly and up to the farmhands personal opinion and whoever recently gets their panties in a twist lurking.

So, we’re supposed to report posts that we suspect are moids (makes sense), but also if we happen to be wrong, we get banned? This doesn’t make any sense to me, seems like it will just lead to nobody reporting unless a moid is actually posting his literal penis in the thread.

I think the decline began with the absolutely retarded shitposting threads in /ot/. The posting style took over dumbass shit and other threads as well.
And then the worst happened, we got the newfags who think this is their chatroom and then they don't want to integrate.

I think so too, but farmhands say now that “most of us are wrong” so will start banning us for reporting moidy posts. This really seems like a mistake to me because in my opinion, as a female-only site, having farmhands check if someone posting moid like takes is a man should be a basic function of their duties, not an “annoyance” to be clamped down on.

they do though kek. i’ve also been accused of being a scrote just for posting astolfo or whatever (was never banned as mods probably saw my extensive post history on 2X and the troon hate threads — at the time, i’ve definitely switched ips by now), other anons get accused of being a scrote the moment they say something someone doesn’t like (i am guilty of this), tradthots exist, female scatfags and nazis exist, etc. you really can’t deduce sex over text, at all. not unless it’s something incredibly obvious like defending a scrote being shat on, or trying to perv on other anons. as the op says

I can understand that farmhands do this to cull the amount of reports they get on the daily like the example posted upthread. But phrasing it like that along the recent redtexts for "scrotefoiling" seem like a step in the wrong direction, especially since ther ARE moids larping as women on the off topic boards and even some cow threads for various reasons. Luckily in the cow threads, they always reveal themselves eventually kek. I guess those can be reported as bait but it still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, because it leaves room for them to go on atrocious astroturfing and larps all over the website and build a post history and then claim they're just a woman with different opinions. I guess we just gotta trust the farmhand's judgement then..

>There’s always been a culture of “women only” here
No there hasn't. LC was made because flan shut down Stamina Rose over pt getting accused of being a pedo. LC was not made to be a female only image board, both LC and SR were made to catalog cows from /cgl/ because moot banned the threads. The first admin of LC was male. LC becoming a female image board happened over time. It was always a female majority site because the original userbase was from /cgl/ which was a majority female board on 4chan. I'm not complaining that LC is now a woman only IB, I prefer men not being here, it's that denying the sites history and trying to revise it into being something it never was is exactly what >>68056 is referring to.

>>68076
As has already been suggested, report it as bait. If the farmhand also suspects that the poster is a moid, they will check their post history and come to far more accurate conclusion than an ordinary farmer ever will. I don't know why this is hard to understand.

TBH the women-only label mostly arose from the userbase and from OG admin liking to surround himself with women who also liked having him as an admin because he seemed non-threatening. I think it should remain being run by women for women but clearly a lot of anons have no idea it was never meant to be a female separatist community. Excluding men was meant to to keep away the men who at the time were already honing in on /cgl/ as the board that had the most women.

I feel like the milk collecting farmers have also been leaving over the years, or getting lazy. In snow I’ve noticed a lot of screenshots of videos instead of them just posting the video they’re talking about. In the scumbags thread especially, I saw an anon request someone post a cows IG story and three anons said they didn’t know how too. I’ve posted sites that download IG stories and conversion sites at least 3 times before but they don’t bother learning, one of them even said “I don’t care.” I honestly think the majority of the good farmers are gone and now we just have TikTok zoomies left.

kekkk do newfags really not know how lc started? the idea that women aren't capable of being hostile or having "wrong" opinions is so absolutely retarded. women are varied and some of them can be mean, misogynist, etc. look at the website you are on. some anons main "gotcha" during infights is scrotefoiling and it's getting tired. farmhands are making the right decision for hellweek imo.

one thing I do agree on is that anons seem to be extremely hostile lately. whether it's frustration over newfags, or newfags trying to adopt edgy imageboard/chan attitude it really ruins threads when they devolve into retarded infighting.

No. 68100

Just kill all of the offtopic boards except one. We don’t need three. I vote that /m/ deserves to stay because it’s the most fun OT board in my opinion but it’s also probably the least relevant to the sites intention (except for the autist threads)

No. 68101

The problem is not the non-drama boards. It's how they're used now.
Many positive things have come from these boards like the movies nights and the doodle boards. LC has evolved and discussing all sort of topics is part of what the site is now. And as others have said, no matter how things started, having an imageboard for women that doesn't tolerate troons and other scrotes is very valuable.

We just need 1 offtopic board. Giving too many boards creates the idea that we want and need more offtopic threads. We have as many OT boards as cow boards and I can't even fully count /w/ because I don't understand why most of the threads are in there, many should either go to /snow/ or get locked and we already come from a weeb board so there's no point in segregating weeb drama. /m/ is unnecessary, was copied from crystal.cafe in some ill-fated attempt to get users to cross over but it backfired so hard because it's mostly a board to sperg out about yaoi and irl scrotes. We should go back to having /pt/ and /snow/ for cows and /g/ for some girltalk threads and casual topics. Chat threads can go. They merely replaced the Discords that used to be great for getting all the attention whores tired out. Make personalityfags and chronic baiters battle it out on shitcord again instead of fighting it out on the board, I guarantee infighting would go down and the remaining infights would at least be about a topic that's being discussed rather than 24 posts back to back vagueblogging at each other with SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP FAGGOTTT. Someone should a new official lolcord as a distraction for all these morons and I guarantee shit'd improve.

Well, agree to disagree I suppose. When anons reporting suspicious posts in good faith start getting banned for being wrong, people will stop reporting suspected moid posts just in case they might be wrong and get banned, leading to actual males slipping into the general population since everyone is now afraid to report them. Mark my words, this is going to be the straw that broke the camel’s back for the few women who still visit this site.

no actually, their reports will simply be more substantiated and better thought out. personally i’ve yet to banned for reporting a plausible male, possibly because i understand lc wrongthink is dumb and can tell the difference between “thing i do not like” and “this is pinging me; i think it’s a male”.
>thing i do not like: certain anime character from a big boob isekai show, anon casually calling me retarded for a benign opinion
>suspicious male post: any opinion taking my post in the worst way possible and reframing it so it’s ackshully in support of males (see: the big long infight in /ot/‘s fandom salt thread the other day), any post that comments on a cow’s sex appeal (e.g.: no man would fuck this whore)

Yes, because until now it was not bannable unless extremely egregious.
I also said “in good faith” for a reason, which your bootlicking response conveniently ignores. My entire concern is that farmhands don’t seem to acknowledge in the rules that there is a clear difference between “good faith yet incorrect analysis” and the examples you cite, and that they will be banned in the same way, leading anons to not attempt to report males at all anymore.

I would think that farmhands are able to distinguish between a report made in good faith and a report made by a retard. If a poster reports every post that disagrees with them or for completely inane reasons then that person deserves to be banned for repeatedly wasting the farmhand's time. If a poster makes a genuine report because a post is suspicious, a farmhand would also be able to identify that same suspicion and they can then confirm that it is a moid by looking through post history. It's bad that has to be this way but it has been an issue for years and certain posters have ignored all the warnings from farmhands and various admins. Cerbmin is not the first admin to ban scrotefoiling.

Please read the OP.
>Reporting someone you disagree with for being a moid/tranny will receive a ban
NOT that any report that isn't correct will receive a ban. 9/10 tranny/moid reports we get are not in good faith. If the post you report is very plausibly male you will not get a ban regardless of whether you were right. However, the userbase as a whole is not as good at identifying male posters as they think they are. Additionally, many users abuse the report system to try and silence any dissenting female voice by accusing her of being male. We get reports like "this has to be a tranny because a woman wouldn't have taste this bad!!" pretty much daily, or users reporting posters they had a disagreement with for being male because their feelings got hurt

>>68077
Perfect example above. The poster you are referring to was not a scrote. Telling yourself that they have to be male because a woman can't possibly act that way is part of the problem. They were still breaking the rules and they were banned, but not for being a male

>>68059

A lot of anons come to advice threads for advice and these shitty "jokes" feel like bait / low effort trolling. It's shit posting and more than funny it's annoying as hell. It feels infantile too, to be that defensive or to over react to something like that and I wouldn't be surprised if they just do it for attention. Honestly whenever I see some anon posting that type of retarded reply over a pretty innocent post I assume they're not well integrated and come from other places or just edgy bastards for "fun" even if only they find their unhelpful reply funny. I can think of more recent examples of defensive anons replying to someone's whatever post with this kind of shit and being like "well this is a gossip website lol why are you so sensitive lol" when they seem like bad trolls with rage issues and sour the entire experience for other users.

The best way to combat antisemitic conspiracy theories is open and honest discussion. It should be allowed as long as it doesn't devolve into hatred or insults based on race, religion or ethnicity. No group should be targeted for hate.

Funny how jannys will talk about all these tiktok newfags ruining the site but won't mention the elephant in the room which are the tranny threads and how they attract newfags to this site. Those threads have the highest amounts of newfags and people who find this site due to those threads.

Probably because anons don't want their favorite shitty threads to get locked. It's always 2-3 threads on this site that cause a newfag stampede.
In 2022 I remember it was the russ VS Ukraine threads that lead to a huge number of newfags joining (many of which were male) and the user base changing along with which threads were active in ot.
The tranny threads are also a cancer to this site and there is a reason that the past admin and mod team banned tyranny topics. so something like this wouldn't happen.

The MTF threads on /snow/ were a compromise after a previous admin shutdown the GC threads on /ot/.

Several other threads on /snow/ suffer from this issue of becoming political when cow threads are not the place for it.

Imo policing certain words or phrases seems very difficult and time consuming for the mods. Is there a list of "forbidden" words? Where do you draw the line? What time period of intenet slang is acceptable and what is not? Unless it's very obnoxious and makes the poster identifiable, banning based on a single word or phrase is not a good idea. What is and isn't "zoomerspeak" is very subjective too. Like "y'all" is a good example - some anons say it's zoomerspeak, some don't.

They're just moving the goalpost of what the initial argument was even about, like most of the chronic infighters on here do. As much as I hate young zoomers and newfags joining and not bothering to integrate the lack of quality farmers is what really makes this site shit now, and I've seen plenty of other anons say the same thing. Everyday in every thread it's the same shit; someone says something that divides users, arguing ensues, people start adding shit into the argument and accusing others of implying stuff they didn't, cue the "newfag" "samefag" "moid" "zoomer" accusations, the chronically bored infighters keep changing what the argument is about, people get banned, rinse and repeat.

And then the "annoying kids" grow up and overtake the environment and start mocking the next generation of "annoying kids" showing up, time is a flat circle etc etc. It's very stupid and inconsistent how so many anons here fixate on particular currently popular words that they personally dislike rather than the overall quality of posting.

it's because they're annoying and they make every thread revolve around their personal stance on feminism. You can't lol at a cow having manly shoulders without one barging in and being like "akshually she looks like a biological woman with wide shoulders, it is unfair to wide shouldered women to say she does not look her sex!!1!", or on the trad threads where it should be about loling at crazy trads it turns into manifestos about how if you even look at a man your vagina will get 10 miles wide and your husband will fuck other women and laugh at you and your career will disappear. They're annoying and they seem like they're constantly looking for a fight, it's made posting anywhere quite hard because they jump down other user's throats. Nobody should even be aware of a radfem userbase here, because it's a site to lol about cows (loling at trannies included) not to spread your ideology on political and gender issues. The fact people are bothered by the radfem userbase here in itself says that they're a problem on the site.

The tranny threads evolution led to this imo with the explosion of terf users coming here (once again before anyone jumps on me, it's fine to dislike trannies. Most women do) and seeing it as a safe space at a time when there were few safe spaces to shit on trannies when the internet was at peak I LOVE TRANNIES, but they stayed and changed the board culture to a point where most discussion is about men, just how much they dislike them but nevertheless mainly about men. I want to laugh about cows and talk about average woman things with other women, the site is just an angry wasps nest of blackpill in alot of areas now.

because said thread is a woman who calls herself a baby and larps as a toddler and she's built like a linebacker and wears illfitting clothes (a behavioural choice) so it's funny to mock her appearance. Talking about someone like pixyteri having manly shoulders I would class as nitpicking, because it's not something that makes her lulzy.

Average women things are things that have multiple threads on here and there always have been - beauty threads, female fitness threads, menstrual talk, fashion threads, dating threads, and ofcourse general threads which can exist without a man talking about what he likes to wank over or joking about things that make his dick hard in the middle of a civilised conversation.

Yes, we should focus on other things, it's boring reading posts by women who have men on the brain. I don't care when it's on reddit hate threads where it has a place, or the man hate thread if that even still exists, but it's annoying when it's barged into things like relationship threads as >>68313 said when it can be talked about without an ideological tinge added.

Yes and thats fine, again as >>68313 said, and taking the piss out of men for not wiping their ass and things like that isn't the issue, it's the weird manifesto way of speaking on it and it's disingenuous to pretend the obsession with men hasn't gotten way out of hand. How alot of these posts about normal heterosexual behaviour like having children, being with a man and being disappointed, and dating at all are not at all true to how women have talked about men for centuries and anyone who isn't chronically online in radfem spaces can see it.

Definitely agree. I prefer the radfems over tradthots, they're the ones bringing racebait over. I also never cared about radfem manifestos or radfem theory talk in /ot/ and even in cow threads it's so easy to just dismiss, unless they're retarded blackpillers that never shut the fuck up.

This is just my theory but just how in 2016 it was trendy to be a libfem, in 2020 it was trendy to be a radfem, and now women as a whole on the internet are moving into tradwife territory. I guess this is why

This is retarded even for hellweek. It's a women's site. We get censored enough IRL, this is the only place on the web you can tell a scrote to fuck off just for existing or call out the damage troons do to actual women. I'd rather see incorrect "begone scrote" accusations and "blackpill" content than all the fucking nitpicking over other, actually retarded shit.

The only Hellweek rule I disagree with is the thing about chat threads being banned. I lurk /dst/ sometimes and it's chill, mostly…outside of the very rare slap-fight but those happen all over the site.

I am tired of idiots calling me a "moid" because I dared to post something they can't stand. Those types complain about the bans surrounding false reports with "Reee!! don't censor us!!" then try to censor other farmers when they get ticked off. Hypocrisy.

All I said is that the threads aren’t new, and that criticism of trannies isn’t something that has only come to this site recently and thus likely isn’t the cause or sole cause of the sudden influx of newfags that refuse to integrate. If anything it’s more likely caused by lolcow.farm being mentioned on sites like tiktok and twitter leading to teenagers from there to come here.

It's not the job of users to speech police other posters. If you think a post breaks the rules then report it. The arbiters of what is and isn't permissible are the admins and farmhands.

This also highlights another problem with the "radfems" on LC. The majority of them aren't actual radfems. They are former SJWs and libfems that changed their minds when troonshit took over and TERF became the new counter culture. They don't read radfem literature, don't want to talk about radfem theory or have any form of discussion about the deeper implications of radical feminism. They only identify as radfems because they couldn't cope with cognative dissonance required to tolerate trannies while still wearing a "leftist" label. Their behaviour is the same as it always was. "Everyone that doesn't agree with me is man" is no different to "anyone that doesn't think a man is a woman is a nazi". The purpose of the accusation is also the same.

This has been happening for years and it's always the same excuse from the posters claiming to radfems. They're not the problem, everyone else is or some imagined group is invading lolcow such as 4chan moids, troons, kiwi scrotes, LSA, Brazilians or tradthots. It's all deflection, so they don't have to address their own obnoxious behaviour.

To really prove the point here's a huge collection of posts from 4-3 years ago that deal with the exact same issue.

Males from sites like 4chan and kiwifarms would still come here even if it was just the cow boards though.

I agree that this site is becoming less milk oriented and it shouldn't be that way, but honestly the reason why that's happening is because all the current cows suck ass and even a lot of the /pt/ cows have dried up. That literal who Rita getting a post reveal is proof that cows suck now. It's not anyone's fault though, it's everyone's job to contribute to posting about cows and the staff can't exactly make milky cows appear out of thin air. Another anon mentioned that kf still has a lot of cows, maybe we could steal some of theirs. I don't think the solution is to get rid of the off topic boards though. Then we are just stuck with repetitive convo about boring cows (not to say the other boards can't be repetitive) and we lose a large chunk of the userbase, plus some actually interesting and good threads. At least that's my perspective as someone who used to love the cow boards but now only uses the off topic ones.

Anyway I hate all this off-topic vs. cow boards nonsense anons have been trying to push for a while now. It's all a part of lolcow. We don't need to remove anything, we just need improvements.

Sadly, I agree. It's not only that, but due to the nature of the Internet being so connected nowadays it's much easier for a cow to stumble upon their thread and go into hiding if you even mention them. The Internet feels a lot smaller, and lc gets mentioned everywhere. Finding actually silly and obscure cows is hard and once you post about them they'll get notified by someone soon, especially if they're not boomers that don't know how to google themselves.
The only people that can be cows in this environment are crazy narcs that love being victims and martyrs (like jill, for example) so they thrive off people gossiping about them.

Kf does have a lot of cows but frankly I find a lot of them uninteresting. Most of them seem like crazy podcaster scrotes. It's true that they cultivated a better cow observing environment than we have at the moment, though.

To be fair, most of the people complaining about the site becoming "less milk oriented" seem to be the people who specifically want to nitpick a low quality e-girls vagina for the millionth time and throw a fit when they cop a ban for a-logging and bumping a dead thread in vain hopes of someone being able to spoonfeed more drama about someone they have a vendetta against. As for threads such as the fandom thread, plenty of cows and drama is discussed there but because of the strict no-offtopic rules in cow boards and the discussion also steering towards analyzing and recounting personal stories it's in /ot/. It's the same for many /m/ threads, drama gets dished all the time but it's outside of /snow/ and /pt/.

Kiwifarm's cow threads are extremely uninteresting to read, quantity doesn't mean quality. They're filled with endless blogposting, armchairing, nitpicking and infighting, even the "highlights" function that allows you to supposedly skip through the most relevant posts is useless because it's just le epic funny zingers mods wanted to be pinned. Trying to read a cow thread is like pulling teeth because all the drama gets buried under tens of pages of a-logging and someone bragging about how they're actually diagnosed autists living in their parents' basement themselves while studying the blade but at least THEIR sonic the hedgehog OC wasn't a simple Sonic recolor. And of course the amount of incels and chronically online NLOGs complaining about women and feminism is even worse of a problem than these supposed radfems on lolcow.

Agreed, but I don't get why admins don't just delete the boards if they think they are the problem and I say this as someone who migrated from mainly using snow to using the off topic boards almost exclusively.

You neither read my post nor the screen cap. The admin at the time specifically called out posters that were acting like radfems for calling anyone that disagreed with them men and posting racebait.

No shit there's feminist discussion on a women's website.

>>68388 you hit the nail on the head tbh. If they aren’t needed just get rid ya know. Make it a hidden board even. Newfags don’t understand the concept anyway. My whole move to /ot/ has been lack of milk from cows. /pt/ cows are basically dry. /w/ only really has two active threads and one is mostly infighting from the Lolita anons.

I'm not denying that the site gets raided by malicious actors such as troons or sharty posters. What I'm suggesting is that it doesn't happen on the scale that is assumed by some posters. Men, troons and whoever else aren't coming here in massive numbers in a targeted effort to subvert LC. If it were happening, the mods would be aware of it and it would be obvious to posters. The paranoia over some imagined out group infiltrating LC does more damage than the raid itself because the result is anons accusing each other of being from said out group for stupid reasons, which then leaves more clean up for the mods. We have competent admins now who are on top of the raid issue, I haven't seen CP for months. The biggest issues on LC right now are internal.

I don't think that's an issue and imo it helps to give threads with special interest (important cows) a special place where the thread can be slow and we only bump it with the rare update but it's not gonna fall to page 10 of the catalog. But we could add more legacy cows to /pt/ and re-integrate /w/ into /snow/ because most of the /w/ cows are either milkless or you don't need arcane weeb knowledge to follow their shit. Basically undo all the new boards oldmin added; /m/ and /w/ really disrupted the site by respectively inviting more unironic, unashamed weebs to the site and at the same time segregating weeb drama as 'other' when we come from a fucking weeb drama site.

It's not "infiltration" per se, you're misunderstanding the issue. It's that during these raids we get the residue from the original raid group that sticks around either because they find the site fascinating, enraging or they have no other life than to be chronically online. These are the people who bring in retardation since they have their other leg in a community that's inherently damaging to Lolcow. For example I'm pretty sure we have a lot of male posters who initially came in to troll and gawk at the dumb girlchan but got addicted and stayed because a lot of the cows being discussed are thots that they have a parasocial relationship with and because you can actually have a conversation in various threads without someone sperging about jews and black people in every other post. A lot of male commentary channels brought Lolcow to the mainstream when they made videos about creepshowart and their audience definitely got curious, whether it be men or women who have been accustomed to a moidbrained environment.

I'm not saying that there aren't men or troons posting on lolcow. My point is that the userbase perceives this to be a more widespread problem than it is and the reaction to it makes the situation worse not better. Numerous admins have now said that the majority of reports for moids are false. There is gap in perception of how many men are posting here and how many actually are.

>>68411
>But they did make announcements about schizos from Choachan
Exactly, the admins are aware of who is and isn't posting on the site. There's no need for the userbase to do anything other than be vigilant and report and ignore suspicious posts. The admins and farmhands are able to see post history and make a judgement on if someone is a genuine farmer or if someone has malicious intent.

>>68417
This is my point. The farmhands were able to correctly identify someone as being a certain banned poster because it was reported and they are able to look through the poster's history. Replying to bait, making accusations and starting infights does nothing except make the situation worse.

Meh if it were up to me Shayna’s threads would go into /shay/ just to keep the board away from the scum her thread anons can be. I feel like a lot of her anons that are actively on the thread are some of the biggest problem anons. It almost needs its own hell week or years. Also more than one mod actively checking. Not for the same reasons other anons say but because it gets out of hand quickly and badly. I understand it’s hard to keep with Shay’s thread but the sensei Ricky shit got out of hand quick and was ignored. Tho I will give them props for nipping the bud of someone doxxing Shayna’s dad’s cabin at a quick pace. Same for the most part with the random schizo spam posting while she was in Aruba.
>>68406
You got me there. The /w/ and /snow/ separation was a sketchy play in the first place but it seems that honestly merging them back together is a better idea. The only threads with active updates are the jill thread, the Lolita thread which is mostly infighting and then the mana knight one. The merge of those two again and the axing of /m/ would be a good idea. Even if they hide /m/. There’s a lot of ways they could choose to go about it. I hope whatever they choose actually helps the problem.
What cows would be good to move to /pt/ anyhow?
>>68420 yeah they need to stay dead or at least a hiatus until the board can be whipped back into shape. Dead is better tho.

There is no way for admins or farmhands to actually confirm if the poster is or is not a moid. That’s just the new staffs’ opinion based off of a feeling towards post history. It’s hard to trust the staff that is clamping down on female discussion and labeling it detailing. Posters in the tradthots thread explaining how men use race to pit women against each other isn’t derailing or racebait, it’s women warning each other giving the game away that men don’t want women to know. It’s really hard to trust a staff who reads that thread and doesn’t explicitly understand that the discussion is invaluable to women and is reaching for a rule for it to break to ban it.

I don't think it really matters if someone is a genuine XY male, there are plenty of women who have rotted their brain away in male dominated spaces with minimal contact with normal women so of course their opinions will sound male-like and are equally retarded and destructive to the board culture even if they were born female before they unlearn all the damage done to them.

>>68426
Even though it's true, it just doesn't have a place in the tradthot thread because it attracts debate and draws the discussion away from the cow. This is why most milk goes into /ot/ and /m/ these days, people do enjoy discussing how they process these issues and talking about related topics but they'll be hit with a ban if they do it in /snow/. Less people are really interested in strictly documenting a cow because being a weirdo on the internet is so normalized these days that laughing at retards like people did during the Encyclopedia Dramatica era just doesn't work anymore.

Honestly, I think anons are being kind of silly if they think removing the retarded shitpost (which, afaik hasn't actually had any issues) and dumbass shit threads will actually get rid of infighting on the site. Truthfully, in /ot/ there's always periods where some threads get more infighting and bait than others. It's just whatever the baiters find easy targets at the time [spoiler]we know it was baiters because of that whole dumbass shit vs. fun posting thread debacle[spoiler]. And even if you get rid of those threads there's still celebricows, general art salt, unpopular opinions, fandom drama, and (arguably) things you hate which all have their own problems. Plus those threads have only been locked for like two days, who's to say the anons shitting up the dumbass shit thread don't eventually migrate to other threads? I think the solution is just tighter moderation and cracking down on newfags. I'm not sure if better moderation is possibly on the current site, but I would hate to see some of the main threads go.

Shayna's threads are wild and that is part of the appeal. However I do agree that it gets out of control and I wouldn't mind if her threads were confined to /shay/.

I'm indifferent to /w/. /m/ is different because it serves a purpose as a dedicated media board. I don't see a purpose merging these topics back into /ot/ where the slower media threads would be buried by the existing popular threads.

>>68426
>Posters in the tradthots thread explaining how men use race to pit women against each other isn’t derailing or racebait
/snow/ is not for politics, it is for cows. The tradthot thread is for discussing tradthot cows. Any other discussion belongs on /2X/ or /ot/. The tradthot thread is a perfect example of this, the subject matter has the potential to be extremely milky yet there is no milk because the thread is being used for political preaching.

I think you're right about cow documentation not being as interesting anymore because they're a dime a dozen now. Sometimes people here say the userbase is "over" discussing cows, but it seems more like people are bored with just documenting them without being able to discuss their context in more depth. I get why, but it's also the reason that a lot of those active threads on /ot/ devolve into derailing and infighting for days. Social media making it the norm for everyone to have a strong opinion about everything leads to them just wanting to argue for the sake of arguing, which will, and has, turned the culture caustic and rancid. So I don't think it's wrong to have a board where the rules are more rigid to prevent threads from turning into political manifestos and endless blogposting, but it's boring to just watch virtually interchangeable cows be posted without much further input because we can all just go to Twitter for that. I don't know what the solution is though because if you stifle casual discussion, people will take their milk to an /ot/ thread, but if you don't, people will somehow end up arguing about random shit until the thread gets locked.

First of all that's wrong, many other cows are active. Besides that, people on here have just gotten used to some threads being really fast-paced and think slow = irrelevant when many cows aren't heard from for months or years and are still /pt/ material. Some of our best threads have been slow as hell or only had a few spurts of good drama and we managed to not nitpick it all to death. Shayna being extremely active isn't really even milky because it's always the same shit and anons comment on it the same way over and over. We should promote obscure cows instead of catering even more to some of the most out-of-control demographic. I don't know why we keep trying containment zones when they've always without exception only served to invite more of the spergery they were meant to rein in.

I'm hard pressed to figure out exactly whats wrong with unpopular opinions and dumbass shit. Some of you feel as though it should be removed because an opinion you disagree with is posted there? Or because something a little bit too retarded for you to think is funny was posted in dumbass shit? I think its okay for us to disagree and have differing senses of humor, but the website as a whole has been so much slower over the last two days not because of the cooldown time but obviously because a lot of poasters retired for the week after finding out that dumbass shit was going to be suspended.

It’s alright to bring up Viv when she’s doing something or when she’s relevant to a discussion but nitpicking her show just doesn’t feel like it needs to be on that thread in particular.

I think it's okay to close it for hellweek, since the occasional obvious newfag does pop up in the thread. But I agree that the most of the complaints about the thread itself barely make sense and either boil down to "I don't like it so it shouldn't be there" (solution: hide the thread or don't visit the board you dislike, this goes for any other thread too) or "it attracts newfags because I say so"(how? you think newfags one day decide to google 'dumbass shit' and happen to find lolcow on page 20 of google? No, the easiest way to find us is through googling cow usernames or cows themselves mentioning this website). Permanently closing it due to infighting would directly play into what the infighters shitting it up want, which I dare to say is probably also of a certain percentage demanding it here. I would like to remind everyone that the infighting in that specific thread started to spiral after the antifujo day long spergout, where staff decided to ban only one side at first, hence why it went on for days.

I think /m/ is a good board in terms of off-topic boards but the picspam threads destroyed it. The catalog is so flooded with picspam threads any discussion thread is buried and as a result slow as hell, so people wanting to discuss anime or games have to do in /ot/ where it really doesn't belong. Everyone not wanting to discuss cows is flooding /ot/ and making a mess out of every thread. The same happens with /g/ and their endless X I want to fuck threads. Maybe dumbass shit threads wouldn't be needed if people could easily discuss the topics they want to discuss in /m/ and /g/.

Picspam threads need to be banned from /m/ and /g/ or limited to a serious extent.

Those threads are such a plague tbh, especially the fact that the straights and the lesbians need to be catered to that they have their own goddamn separate threads instead of just one, and lc thread users having to just live with the fact that it's different strokes for different folks, like IRL.
InB4 "Herpderp hide the threads then dumbass", I already do. 'Still buries the other threads that are not hornyposting 4 pages deep.
I realize LC is not structured like a forum, but as an oldfag who grew up on internet forums, I miss the organized structure of em. So many threads could be compartimentalized in whatever main theme they're about (sexuality/intimacy/NSFW, fangirling, casual talk, pic spam, whatever other theme there are). Not just the /g/ ones that I mentioned, same with the picspam on /m/. It might not directly solve the current problems, newfags and other weirdos will still come here to blogpost/not integrate/troll or be agro.

> merging them all together into a mega-thread would make it messier and would centralize this site

So that's what you misunderstood. You probably don't know forum structure but you have a main page with different categories A, B, C however many the forum needs, with thread subcategories under A, B, C, named 1,2 and 3 each for example. And underneath 1, 2 and 3, when someone clicks on one of those, there come all the threads that are relevant in that subcategory.
So for instance if one did like my example "A"/ "NSFW/Sexuality/Intimacy" category, one could still have compartments 1, 2 and 3 under that, 1 named Sexuality (the masturbation thread could be there along with the bisexuality and lesbian one, probably others too like the not my type type), 2 for NSFW (where all the threads for men/women you find attractive, the weird kinks stuff etc.), 3 for Intimacy (the bathroom thread, the breasts, the vagina, the Nigel/GF treads could go there). They wouldn't be merged in one, but put in their compartment where all that stuff belongs and not jumbled together in a general /g/ thing where the horny meets the skin care and crochet threads.
That's not centralized, that's compartmentalized. Hope that's clearer. Not that the suggestion will be taken by the farmhands, but it's an idea for a solution.

>merging them all together into a mega-thread

It's called a board. This might seem news but /ot/, /m/ /g/ /snow/ and /w/ didn't always exist on this site. One day admins created them because there was demand or a necessity. Even on 4chan boards are created and retired even to this day. It's what keeps an imageboard fresh and thriving.

The needs of lc users have simply changed. There is no need to keep holding onto legacy boards when creating something like /img/ for picspam threads would revitalize /m/ and /g/ and get some people out of /ot/ and into those boards.

As things stand now they're stagnating rapidly and bringing down the level of discussion across the whole site.

The same can be said for reintegrating /w/ into /snow/ where in my opinion they always belonged. Anime is now mainstream and simply being a weeb or into a weeb subculture like lolita doesn't guarantee fresh cringe milk as it did before.

But this is straight up false. The newest boards on 4chan are the /v/ splinters created in 2020, and before that was /bant/ in 2017. I've never seen a board on 4chan retired, the last time I know that happened (if you can count it as retiring) was the april fool's event where certain boards were merged together, and before that when the /con/ boards were made for those panels in 2009 or whenever that was.

there was a suggestion on /ot/ many months ago that i'll repeat here: the husbando threads, x attractions threads/x guys threads, and threads for individual actors from /m/ should all be on it's own board. i too am fine with the threads themselves, just think it will look less cluttered/clogged up plus will probably result in less husbando infights on /ot/ + less complaints whenever threads for a single actor are made on /m/. actually such a board would be perfect for those who have overly specific tastes so that there aren't a dozen of those all over other boards.

Wrong, it was created to get things like anime, video games, books, series and movie discussion threads out of /ot/, which was already very crowded. It was a very comfy and productive discussion board for a few years before nonnies started making picspam threads.

Now they're all back on /ot/ discussing it in the fandom, artist and celebricows thread because /m/ is near unusuable due to the picspam. We need an /img/ yesterday.

Fair. Yet I argue it has gotten out of hand and the image threads have largely swallowed the media discussion threads. In the current state of the board, of course slower, discussion-oriented threads can't compete with threads purely about picspamming which get bumped 100 times more frequently. Even if you hide all of the picspam threads, sometimes you have to go to page 2 or 3 to find a discussion thread. If both aspects of /m/ can't coexist, something needs to be done about it.

>>68644
Of course it wouldn't, the problem is that nonnies in those threads discuss media all the time as well as snarking and posting artist milk, the same with celebricows. There's been multiple instances of nonnies discussing Poor Things in the celebricows threads, which is straight-up a movie and not a milk/cow discussion. Artist, fandom and animation threads suffer from the same problem which is why they're constantly catching bans for not posting milk.

No. 68647

This is going to be a super unpopular take so feel free to call me retarded, but what about a post limit per anon even if just temporary. I feel like if there were less posts a person could make it would make them choose what to post more carefully and keep them from spamming a thread or infighting. I’ll sometimes see an anon say that they took up most of the posts in an ot thread and others agree, it would solve the issue of anons camping out in certain threads and responding to everything with pointless comments and trying to stir up an infight

No. 68677

I see where you’re coming from nonna but I feel like a lot of media discussion often includes of img spam anyways because this is literally an imageboard. all boards should have some level of img posting. the line between discussion and img spam isn’t always that clear. furthermore, while I’m not of the opinion that OT threads should be nuked like some killjoy nonnies ITT, media discussion is essentially arbitrary on LC so I don’t think it should be prioritized like other boards. I feel like far too many boards overlap with each other here, and having two separate boards for media would just aggravate this issue.

No. 68678

Of course it is, nonny. Compare the AI pic thread to the video game thread. Or the gif thread to the anime thread. Or the dress up games thread to the movie thread.

This is what we're talking about. The only type of thread that might blur the line is actor hornyposting threads, but they're clearly annoying to most users and have brought down the quality of posting on /g/ and /m/ significantly.

If you read that and the first thing you thought to yourself was "Oh so women are just supposed to be tradthots in the kitchen?" thats your own mental delay. I'm pretty sure nonnie was saying that women are well adjusted and don't have any desire to manage or moderate an imageboard, because why the fuck would they want to spend all day hunched over a computer reading comments of painfully retarded infights, child porn, gore, regular porn, the way scrotes love to?

Why is it so hard to say why xyz post is breaking a rule instead of using male and troon as a report reason?

we aren't saying don't report those kind of posts at all, they are clearly bait (regardless if it's coming from a moid or not), and they will be banned. What we are saying is that a LOT of reports are coming from people disagreeing with each other and accusing each other of being moids for innocuous things like 'yeah well, I like x character!'. 99% of the reports are coming from farmers arguing and disagreeing with each other and comments that are clearly NOT bait, NOT moidspeakish, almost a nothing comment, that the reportee farmer just disagrees with. So please continue reporting baiting comments as bait, and if you think its a moid do report it and we will investigate. But please do NOT report someone as a moid just because you disagree with them. Use common sense.

Personally, I go to /snow/ to laugh at retards on the Internet and not to read the exact same twitter and tumblr “radfem” oh so unique takes over and over again from gals who clearly just peaked and think they are very smart. It used to be a funny thread just like the tranny sideshows thread on KF used to be funny. The very few images actually posted are usually reposts by idiots who don’t realize they got the image they’re about to post from the very thread they’re posting it in.

I was looking through the MtF threads in /snow/ and when I came across some from 6, 7, 8 months ago I noticed that back then there were no specific ‘cows’ that were followed on the board; at least not in the thread descriptions. So I went all the way back to the first one and it seems as thought MtF never followed specific group of male cows, just troons online and irl, in general. This was perfectly acceptable for the last 4 years, including our most recent Hellweek prior to the current one. May I please ask Cerbmin, what exactly changed in the last 6 months that made you decide that this wasn’t acceptable anymore and now we need to pluck out specific troon cows from corners of the internet to follow?

this is exactly why we need to revive and move the gc thread from /2X/ to /ot/. most nonnas are not going to hunt down a dead thread on a hidden board to continue their meta discussions, so they drown the genuine milk in the mtf and ftm /snow/ threads instead, which is a shame because those threads have so much milk potential. this is simply a waste of a good thread topic. furthermore, like >>68757 said, quarantining this kind of discussion to /2X/ only causes it to spill out everywhere else
>>68730
>You're also preaching to the choir, the site already hates troons
>If you're aim is to peak more people, you would be better off posting just about anywhere else
unironically though, I do think these kinds of discussions are beneficial to creating “social change.” there are a lot of lurkers on LC who were linked here from somewhere else because they heard this was a gc site in which women can talk freely about TRA retardation honestly. I know because this peaked me. besides, what massively used site lets women do this without censorship and social repercussions?

No. 68797

Obviously not a a farmhand but I’ve been here since like 2016 less and less in recent years due to people acting like this is twitter and while the thread never really followed specific people it did consist of a lot of one off posts (screenshots! imageboard!) about random internet trannies and farmers updating about the cows they personally followed. Obviously people commented or added additional information on what was posted but this isn’t boomerbook and responding with pointless reactions is totally unnecessary and shits up threads. For at least the last year it’s been mostly boring ass text posts and ancient milk that tourists were too dumb to realize they’d sourced it from right here on lolcow. Perhaps you anons who just want to reeee and not laugh at weirdos online can make a general tranny discussion thread, idk.

IMO a good rule of thumb is to only post replies that are worth reading so threads aren’t full of worthless and dull commentary.

Ayrt, before anything I also agree that I used to see more people being above 25 and now I see a lot of young early 20s or even that one underaged anon in the graduation thread posting their age. I am late 20s too and been here for 9 ish years.
I don't bitch about trannies irl or on social media because for one I don't have a twitter/instagram/etc and I am very private and careful with my general information. Lolcow was the one who made me more wary of what you post online and how it can be traced back to you. This is why image boards have always been appealing to me, I like to freely discuss things like this with others.
However. I also never bitch about trannies in this website, because in reality I don't really care, I simply want to point and laugh at the cows. That has never been an impediment to see and understand that a lot of anons do have legit reasons to vent and want to talk about them with scorn without the risk if being doxxed by those overreacting retards that hunt people like that just for disagreeing. I don't have a problem with the anons who do bitch about them. Like, why would I care if the comment is not directed towards me? I simply ignore it and let anons be. It's not a big deal, just a bunch of words on a screen and policing how others post in a tranny thread feels asinine and too sensitive to me.

Just to be clear, I don’t necessarily have a problem with venting about trannies. My issue is with shitting up /snow/ threads with personal anecdotes.

Why do we have so many newfags? Farmhands are not allowed to reveal themselves as farmhands when posting normally, and an anon not answering you doesn't actually reflect on the staff.

Yeah the behavior in this thread is super strange and neurotic.

Back when the GC subreddit was still active I regularly saw lolcow recommended so I wouldn’t be surprised if that still happens on ovarit/spinster/“radfem” twitter or whatever. Don't get me wrong, it’s great that so many topics and viewpoints are welcome here but it’s not like this website itself is politically affiliated. Too many newfags are here for reasons other than cows and it seems to me like the new admin is taking steps to correct that.

>/2X/ is so full of rightwingers now,
Newsflash: moving the threads you want to use to /ot/ will not fix that. You sound like you're afraid to use 2X because the rightwing posters make you feel unwelcome as you do not agree with them or align with them politically. That's your choice if you'd rather not post there but you won't be able to have similar discussions on another board on the same website and NOT have rightwingers comment there too. Think about it for two seconds. Do you think you'll get your hugbox (sorry) on /ot/? That's just not how it would shake out.
It's an anonymous imageboard, you wade around with the rightwing psychos and say your piece, it's always been that way.

The core of this site was everything else EXCEPT /ot/ and /g/
Who gives a fuck about them? They were always like that. The main boards should be the focus. Fucking newfags running the asylum. We didn't even notice hellweek last time and this time it's focussed on autism that should've been managed by the people who are apparently gonna clean shit up in a week. After a year of not being able to.
Most of the board's loss of culture happened because a lot of old fags left and the internet changed. It happens. Then we said hey, why don't we unban the cancer topics and let those posters go wild? And it turned out exactly how it would be expected. Since then it's been constant talk about The Culture and none of it resembles the old board. Not even close.
Maybe if you lot had spent the past fucking year actually communicating and getting the modding consistent, people would listen to your admonishment.

A lot of people do, they have existed for a big while now and they contain cow threads too. I don't want to argue with you but you can't ignore that the user base uses those boards too
Maybe being this passionate about a gossip website and wanting to stick only to ridiculing people isn't that healthy, you know? People want to discuss other things too. And I miss the oldfags too, I can't deal with the TikTok kids at all. I'm just on a more neutral stance when it comes to this website, I understand why people want to use the other boards too. I appreciate the opinions of anons on every board as well, you don't find that stuff just anywhere online.

I’m not understanding why hellweek was extended. I frequent /snow/ and /ot/ the most; I don’t recall seeing any infighting, I don’t recall seeing any bait, I don’t recall any issues other than cp and other porn being posted by raiding troons. I don’t get why they believe hellweek should be extended especially if admin and the moderators weren’t capable of compiling a list of reasons why this hellweek went poorly, what they didn’t like about it, what rule breaking they saw the most, etc. No one bothered to write any kind of statement explaining why they made this decision, which is kind of unprofessional and personally doesn’t make me want to take their words or claims very seriously kek. They could’ve easily typed up a statement and uploaded it when they changed the date. I wonder what’s stopping them.

It’s not a job that they get paid for but it is a job that they signed up to do, knowing full well that responsiveness would be expected from them (especially during hellweek) and that it would go unincentivized. Curiosity about what occurred to result in this decision is not unwarranted at all.

It isn't really rocket science why they're extending Hellweek, and it was already clear from the get-go they were planned to extend Hellweek as long as they felt was necessary, which they announced in the OP and a farmhand confirmed here >>68140.

Hmmm I guess when you put it that way…maybe? Like I hadn't intended it to be bait I was just venting about it.

I know it's hellweek and stricter moderation but it just doesn't seem like they're even outlining what is truly not allowed but rather winging it on a case by case. It feels really inconsistent and tbh adding unnecessary dysfunction to the site imo. I never went to /pol/ much on 4chan because it was a cesspool so even being an oldfag I wasn't familiar.

People responding to the non-integrated newfags who can't even google basic things is also an issue. Just tell them to lurk more and stop responding until they figure it out on their own.
If you can't be bothered to read up on old threads or expand your imageboard-culture knowledge why even bother posting here. There's other sites who will accept you with open arms.
Spoonfeeding is a huge issue that rewards laziness, which is a trait you generally don't want in farmers.

Listen I love with website but it’s an imageboard, not harvard university. If i’m not getting incentivized to do so, I’m not gonna do research or use google just to make one-off posts. if you’re taking posting online this seriously then maybe you’re autistic? ‘board culture’ and ‘social media culture’ are not real things. it’s just the internet. the only rule is to follow the law and use it wisely.

samefag but even lurking the site if you use the catalog and command + f random 4chan slang terms (like we were talking about yesterday) nothing comes up. Same with the terminology thread. Nothing about the bracket echo on there, either. So you might want to actually include these things on the website if you want to keep shouting LERK MOARR and actually have the user find the content you’re referring to.

You do realize you can type "lolocow SUBJECT HERE" in to Google and see if threads pop up with answers you are looking for, like in old threads? Newfag, no one cares about your whining. You need to learn2integrate.

Pretty sure these two posts belong to the male /meta/ camper who went from complaints and suggestions to this hellweek thread. Most anons don't ask such dumb questions and I've been here since 2015, about terminology like dialate. Plus the constant quips about the website not being up to snuff.

No. 69046

Everyone dogpiling on each other about how you’re asking to be spoonfed is what is making the site culture worse actually. Why’s it so hard to just be chill and answer the question kek? Why can’t we be a fingernail more friendly to each other? Do you think we’d be in a second week of hellweek if we didn’t infight over dumb shit like spoon feeding (which I actually was convinced only applied to asking questions in the cow threads…I was misinformed)? Is treating each other with decorum that much worse than this?

No. 69047

>>69046
Lolcow isn't going to change their spoonfeeding policy just because some idiots can't learn how to use a search function or search outside of the site for info. There's plenty of anons who don't bring up spoonfeeding requests because a lot of time it devolves into a thread that already discussed the topic all because one or two anons needed to get reintroduced to what the cow did and what everyone else already discussed.

>>69048
Farmhands don't ban in /meta/ usually and they've stated that as such. If that were the case, the tranny bait all over the multiple threads in /meta/ would be redtexted to high hell. Pointing out that the poster can't integrate and it using the same anti-lolcow rhetoric the resident scrote uses, isn't just some accusation. Newfag or male, doesn't matter. The poster clearly doesn't understand the website and admin and farmhands don't need to make things more clear. This is the same mentality of "Show me where it says you can refuse customer service" from boomers.

No. 69053

No farmhands do ban in meta they just don’t redtext. Also, interestingly enough; the how to use the website page isn’t even linked onto the website. I’m scrolling up and down to the bottom and top of the page, not seeing the word info anywhere. Like I said, once again, nobody’s fucking going on google to do research on lolcow. If they want us to be able to access your information, they can do their job as administration and make it accessible on the actual website. I’ll say it again, this is a random imageboard not school. I’m not going to study before I post. If it upsets you for some reason or annoys you that sounds like your own gripe, and you might wanna get over it because it isn’t healthy to get angry over shit as small as lolcow.farm.

No. 69054

Board culture isn’t a real thing. It’s just the internet. And as you continue to get new and younger posters on this website, you’re going to understand that nobody gives this much of a shit about any website kek. Sorry. That’s not going to change no matter how long hellweek continues. They can have it go on for the rest of the year if they want, it’s not going to make me want to act like a total ASD sperg everytime someone uses a term wrong or doesn’t know what a term means that also happens to not be available in the terminology thread or the rules.

No. 69058

Is this seriously still being argued about? All this started because someone kept confidently insisting there was no infighting or racebait when in reality, they simply didn't recognize it. There is a consistent issue of newfags being aggressive and hostile when they're completely wrong, and instead of accepting it and moving on, they scream about how it's everyone else's fault. I agree it's not good for site health for people to be perpetually angry about everything, but on a similar note, newfags cannot demand the site bend to their whims because they suck at integrating and then sperg about it for hours.

The problem is that they’re not posted at all in an area where I can access it on the website. the lolcow.farm/info is not linked next to the rules. The rules do not mention spoonfeeding, interestingly enough. And terminology does not include spoonfeeding or dilate. So even when I do the necessary research, how the fuck am I supposed to find shit that’s not even posted in a spot where everyone can find it? >>69064
Board Culture isn’t a real thing though. It’s not about tangibility, it’s about reality.

None of those photos were complaining about being banned? It was showing that the terminology that’s being referred to isn’t easily accessible. And if it’s not easily accessible, people obviously aren’t going to find it.

Thats posted on the rules, not on the actual website.

I never acted like anyone was withholding anything from me. I’m giving reasons for why my ban was total bullshit. Yes the users here were generous enough to explain it to me right after I asked what it meant, however I was still banned and told lurk moar by the mods; and when I did lurk I found that dilate and spoonfeed aren’t even in the terminology thread, and spoonfeed doesn’t appear in the rules either. And even on the rule guide that spoonfeed does appear on; it still isn’t an effective rule because users ask questions in multiple threads across the website daily.

But suddenly it does have to do with general questions when a question that is asked is one that you consider to be a ‘newfag question’, but I’ve been here for years and yeah I’ve seen the word dilate used but I never understood and also never saw it in the terminology thread, so I took the initiative to ask. Are you saying it would have not received a ban if it had been asked in stupid questions, because even though it’s a general question it’s considered ‘too newfag’ for you?

no we do not ban in meta. In the RARE times we do, we always redtext (unless it is a confirmed moid, in which case we also delete their comments.) We usually avoid responding to obvious baseless accusations and tinfoiling but I wanted to let all the farmers know that this is false.

As well to clarify – 'spoonfeeding' is part of the rules. It's not explicitly said, but it is part of learning to integrate/lurk. Do not spoonfeed request, do your own lurking and research.

>>69191
I never once said or even alluded to thinking that I'm against equality for women, I am not against equality at all. Why would I be? What I did say is that inventing some brand new female worshipping religion at this point in history would not only be boring (its 2024. What woman are we going to worship? Hilary Swank?) but it would also end up being completely pornified by all of those who refuse Gods love, much like all of the other religions that already exist and are treated with disrespect. Inventing a new religion isn't going to magically make men respect us, in fact I really wouldn't be surprised if the creation of a new religion wasn't taken seriously at all, no matter what deity or being it is worhsipping. All of this inane twisting of what is actually spoken is very easily refutable when you take the time to read the statements in full. You're capable of reading comprehension. You're smart. I believe in you.

AYRT; regardless of where it was or wasn't used before, sometimes things (phrases, aesthetics, sounds, etc) are adopted by groups or movements and the association becomes too strong and the thing loses its independence and is only suggestive of the adopting entity, either for a time or from then on. as a vocal anti-y'aller in the past here for similar reasons (it became associated with a certain type of annoying Twitter user), I would be hypocritical to not acknowledge that delulu is a Tiktok and Twitter thing now. it's just funny to me that it's caught on so strong recently that this association exists

What I meant was that 'melty' is not a widely used term on lolcow the same with 'delulu'. I made one post and you are insinuating I've been following the conversation when I'm making fun of you. No one has said that slang shouldn't or can't be integrated over time into lolcow culture, but the sudden influx is not the same as it organically becoming a term that's seen on different boards and in multiple threads.

oh my god. when did anyone say that delulu needs to be protected? when was that ever stated by a single one of us? do you wanna quote it? because nobody ever said that, what i SAID is that if you're an oldfag and little kids using little kid terms is causing you to sperg out at teenage users for acting like teenagers is absolutely ridiculous, and if it's really upsetting you that bad then you should relocate to a different website because getting angry over kids using the word delulu isn't going to make them stop using it it's just going to make them want to piss the oldies off more; especially when we're just online. Lolcow isn't a serious place. I'm perfectly okay with any words being redtexted, because they'll still get used, however what I think is retarded and faggoty anne behavior is sperging out and getting your panties in a wedgie every time you see little kids acting the way little kids do. The posting age on lolcow is 18, and last I checked, the current batch of 18 year olds aren't the most mature and serious internet users in the world.

I also didn’t insinuate you’ve been following the convo because I haven’t been either.

If you had been here, you'd know the difference between LC in 2018 and now. SR and then LC stayed culturally static for that many years.
We're complaining because a lot of the issues the site has now were easily avoided. We're sitting in a hellweek thread where people are saying how ineffective it has been - again - and how understaffing seems to still be an issue. And most of us oldfags gave up, so yeah, those of us left are bitter af watching this place turn into twitter but anti-troon. It's normal to see anons talking about 'PoC' or using slang that doesn't fit here. We used chan-talk for culture and blending together.
And worst of all, we've got admins that are desperate people pleasers, so every retarded idea gets implemented and then rolled back. It's a whole clusterfuck. Hearing people talking about just get over it or whatever - you want this site to finally die? Cos that's how it's gonna happen.

Anon read my post again. I said before pandemic times. That phrase includes all years before 2019. Even if I had joined in 2019… nonnie that was FIVE years ago. The internet is a different place today than it was 10+ years ago, nowadays even normies on Twitter know all about Chris-chan and other OG cows. Milk has largely dried up and no good contenders have risen to take the place of the OG cows that have since faded into obscurity. Since examples of milk are fewer and more far between now, it's natural that anons start using other boards like /ot and /g more frequently. I used to only use /snow and /w for many years, but eventually threads get stale. I liked the content I saw from different anons on those boards so I started to browse the /ot thread and post there a lot more frequently than I did in the past: besides, all the shit you cry about happening now happened back then too. Maybe at a lesser rate because the site's userbase was smaller, but I'm actually happy we have more people coming to use this site because I'm not 6 months old and got over my fear of strangers.
>We're sitting in hellweek thread where people are saying how ineffective it has been
Your idea of an effective hell week is time traveling back to 2015 because you can't deal with change, kek. We're never going to get rid of newfags, or people that don't speak in chan-talk, or people that don't integrate, or people that don't read the rules, just like we had them back before the pandemic.
>You want this site to finally die?

For now, we're taking 2 actions: the cooldown between posts will stay at the current extended length of 2 minutes, and the Dumbass Shit thread (and any other thread like it) are going to be autosaged for the foreseeable future.

Both crappy decisions. I was fine with the thread being locked during hell week, but why is that thread being singled out while no action is/was taken against other threads that also cause problems on /ot/ (e.g. unpopular opinions, fandom drama, celebrities, etc…)? The fact that you're only zeroing in on one thread when it's other threads that everyone has bern complaining about just makes it look like the staff has a hateboner against that thread, rather than actually trying to improve the site. If you want to autosage that thread then fine, but don't do that and then completely ignore the rest of the threads in /ot/.

I say this as someone who reads her threads btw. Her “milk” is literally just being ugly, which is a bit bizarre because any other cow thread of women like her would be shutdown for being milkless kek. Nonnies post a new pic or video of shayna, and everybody reiterates how ugly she is. Repeat for a hundred threads kek

Kek I agree with you. Every disagreement turns into redtext for "infighting."

Compared to previous admin generations excluding the one who was just completely radio silent for about 2 years you can tell this new team is quite young and inexperienced, probably why they are 3 instead of one.

Unlike 4chan lolcow does not sustain itself and misguided moderation can absolutely put this site on the ground. I can only hope there are some watchful nonas who would be willing to catch the relay and absorb LC users to another place in case the new rules become too retarded and cause this place to fail just like what happened with /cgl/ with, ironically, the creation of lolcow.

thoughts: mods, jannies… your job is to serve the community. if nonas want chat threads, your job is to give them chat threads and enable them to maintain the discussions in a civil manner. all throughout this thread, and elsewhere on the site, nonas are telling you what they want, and you are only listening to the feedback you like. i feel like your moderation in the past few months has been killing the site and making it worse over time. i see more and more stupid bans with "cheeky" messages. when you get feedback, you ban nonas and tell them to take it to /meta/. when they do take it to /meta/ you do as you are doing itt; you pick and choose what you want to read and ignore everything that you don't seem to agree with. do you not care that you are making the site worse over time? are you teenagers who can't handle being "wrong" and changing your minds based on what the nonas are telling you so you need to dig your heels in? sad if true. listen to your community. you are here to enable it and make us all more comfortable, NOT to do things the way YOU want.

What value would a Kota or a Kiki have nowadays if they were only born later? None, because for each of them there are at least a hundred thousand other girls copying the exact same shtick on tiktok. Being a cosplay cow like Nigri or Momo isn't funny anymore when every single BDP attention-whore cosplayer on social media behaves in the same exact way while making insane amounts of money. OnlyFans now means that everyone is an e-prostitute so camgirls, nude cosplayers or even the likes of Shayna doing disgusting porn are just a boring dime-a-dozen now. Being a lolita or a weeb no longer guarantees fresh milk, being a weeb is normalized nowadays and lolita as a western subculture is only just a death rattle.

The most interesting "cows" are now in the off-topic boards. Consoom threads, fandom threads, celebricows threads (regrettably) among others. This is proven by the fact that they are the most active boards on the site and despite what farmhands think, no, nonnies are not wrong for wanting to use them.

The internet is simply a different place than it was in the 2010s and everything that lolcow was built around is simply no longer relevant. Admins trying to stubbornly hold on to the echoes of days past are only going to succeed in driving this place into the ground.

What the fuck are you talking about? This is mental illness levels of entitlement. Cerbmin and the farmhands owe you nothing. Lolcow is a free site that's owned, moderated and paid for by volunteers who do it for fun and for free. The site isn't commercial and there is no benefit to having a large user base if it's full of retards that refuse to follow the rules. Even if Cerbmin takes the site in a direction that you don't like, you have no other option but to follow the rules or fuck off because it's privately owned site.

You don’t see ot anons screaming at admin to nuke pt and snow because it’s full of insufferable wine moms and kiwifags who are desperately coping by comparing themselves to cows, even though they are constantly coming into ot and shitting up threads with their whiny ass minimodding.

I thought last Hellweek was too weak, but this Hellweek really showed how under-staffed LC is. Everything was like normal, except things were redtexted way after the fact. It would have been more effective if infighting was nipped in the bud. Showing up 2 hours and 50 replies later to redtext everything feels like too little too late. It'll definitely be interesting to see the statistics, I'd like to see what information they gathered. I definitely think the Dumbass Shit thread was taking over the website in an annoying way (there would be times when the front page was just Dumbass Shit and nothing else), but I don't think it's a good idea to autosage it or try to kill it off. It isn't resolving the root problem, which is that site culture can't be what it was in 2016 because the internet is just way too different now. Maybe a town hall would be a good way to hash some of this out.

At this point I think the /ot hate is contained to a group of mega autistic oldfags that can't understand why farmers would want to talk to each other sometimes instead of talking about cows that haven't given milk in over 5 years.
>You don't see ot anons screaming at admin to nuke pt and snow
I agree with this 100%. I have not used /pt for actual years because there's just nothing interesting to me on that board at this point, but I don't feel the need to complain about /pt every second of every day because I'm not retarded. I don't know why everyone likes to pretend like /ot is destroying this website when in reality it's just another board for members to use. When I get on LC, I'll often browse /snow or /w for a while to catch up on any milk, and then after go on /ot or /g to talk to my fellow farmers and maybe get a kek or two in. It really isn't that deep and all the farmers saying otherwise are just coping with the fact their cows are long dried.
>>69509

This point ties into >>69512 's point about:
>The most interesting cows are now in the off-topic boards: consoom, fandom, celebricows, etc..
I think we should just make a new board for the larger "fandom" threads, like how /w was created later on from /pt and /w. I think /ot should be relegated to real off-topic discussions, like vent, unpopular opinion, confessions, etc., where there's less chance of infighting. I think a lot of "infights" are just certain farmers being too quick to report (e.g., I saw someone mention ancient semetic cultures in context of their religious pantheon and someone had reported them for "racebaiting" obviously not understanding that the ancient semites were a different group of people and it doesn't have relation to antisemitism of today).

Busy infighting on /ot/ to get threads closed. Case on point, before certain actors started sperging out about 2D husbandos being posted in dumbass shit to the point they made a separate thread, there were barely any complaints about the thread here in meta. Only then, there were suddenly calls for the thread to get nuked. You can ctrl+s it yourself. Between the grand anti-fujo/husbando sperg infightings and the last complaint on meta are 5 months.

I recommend everyone mad that they can't report that random people are male based on "feminine intuition" leave lc and try a blatantly lesbophobic over-moderated nannysite shithole for zoomer imageboard veteran wannabes like crystal cafe, where people are constantly banned for "being moids" based on things like mentioning attraction to other women, having an assertive personality, having Boy Hobbies like computers or cars, not being a radfem, or responding negatively to lesbophobic posts.

No. 69525

I just wanted to comment on this since you've brought it up, but we get a LOT of moid accusations directed at very clearly lesbian/biwomen posters for comments such as the ones you've mentioned. While I understand why it happens, it can be very annoying when farmers completely forget that lesbian/biwomen exist. Don't worry though, we always investigate these reports and don't automatically assume and ban. In the rare chance it ever happens please email admin and we will get it resolved right away.

farmhands have been called janitors since the inception of lolcow since lolcow is from /cgl/. it was an actual position that you could apply for for years. it's obviously not a newfag or scrote thing like the other anon claimed. i already provided proof, do you think i'm going to make you a collage? i recommend learning how to use google and crtl+f.
>uptick in usage
i agree it wasn't used as much, because obviously saying janny instead of farmhand expresses resentment towards the which wasn't as common. i noticed more people started using it in the 2019/2020 radfem period when "tranny janny" became popular. still does not newfag/scrote thing make.
saying the term janny is used because of blaine is just mouth breather-tier.

I also feel like the average user nowadays is too normie to encounter cows. Back then the milk was flowing because everyone was a flavour of weeb and weirdos in the anime community were dime a dozen. Thats why whenever new threads are created on /snow/ its always so stupid normalfag vendettafagging or posting some super normie boring shit like an artist who said the nword.

Me too, those were the only two new cows I was interested in and they got basically immediately cowtipped and I will never stop being mad about it. Especially because homie was a personal cow of mine long before she ever got posted here, so it feels like a personal loss that she baleeted everything.

That's another reason it's misguided to force this site to be cow-oriented in this day and age– new cows do not last because everyone is cowtipping now. Koopa and homie were brand new extremely milky cows the like of which we hadn't seen in years and even they couldn't be maintained. The era of cows is over for all the reasons anons have pointed out and more. I'm not happy about it because I loved cows (nemu is forever my fav) but it just doesn't seem to work anymore. So at least let us have fun on /ot/. Please.

OK anon fair enough I spent a little more time searching and found use of "mod" and "janitor" spanning from 2015 to now; I had to mess with the search a bit since the site's search results max at 10 pages and is sorted from newest to oldest by date which only gets you to like 2022 since they are such common terms, especially recently. "Janny" specifically I was able to find some early results for, 8 total from 2015-2017. I then can find this discussion from 2019, referring specifically to 4chan jannies >>>/w/47547 and this post from a self-admitted male outsider >>>/g/159799 who was banned for their post. The next results are from 2020 and grow in frequency from then but especially from 2022 on. This suggests this specific term was not particularly popular here as this site's culture evolved. I know where the terms came from and the origins of this site. It may not be a newfag thing but it can suggest the poster comes from other imageboards where the term never fell out of the vernacular.

Lesbians are women and the word dyke came about as a way to call them unwomanly for not wanting to fuck men.

Anons are giving shit for it because this site is becoming more sensitive and trying to police every word here, which coincides with all the newfags. And again, no one said anything about banning
>there's 1000s of ways to insult someone

under previous the previous admin anons like this would get banned as soon as they started sperging about lesbians, just by saying dyke with vitriol or sperging about how lesbians are xyz, and that was the right way to do it. its the only way to keep tradspergs out but i guess we're enabling them now because we have to accept women with any opinions because women need muh freeze peaches (a paradox of tolerance retardation that enables primarily tradfaggots, because new admins are doormats that dont know how to cultivate a userbase proactively)

I think this is all a useless sperg, but yeah I don't see how in the context dyke was used by >>69533 how that doesn't come off as misogynistic? It's not the words themselves it's the intent behind the words that should be taken account of

I didn't say meaner, I said inflammatory as in always seeking cheap thrills through infighting and TikTok/Twitter tier responses and commentary. It feels as if LC is baby's first image board to a lot of these new anons, unless they literally migrated from choachan and the like, which would not surprise me either since kpop is a mental illness by itself.

Anyway, LC was mentioned in a recent "YouTube criminals" iceberg video uploaded not too long ago, it's been making rounds. I wonder if that also attracted more new people to the site.

Redtexting used to be funny. 99% of the time it was just 'user has been put out to pasture' with occasional personal comments from the farmhand in question if the retardation was extreme.

No, unfortunately previous admins did also give this shit a pass here on meta. Which is why these totally-not-moids got comfortable in the first place, to the point they're now getting cocky enough to openly call us by their usual misogynistic insults while complaining that we don't want moids here because they can just claim they're a woman with different opinions.

There's also too much of it and I think it's killing the site a bit, I think they should be more lenient on offtopic posts and the odd nitpick here and there, old lolcow used to be full of it and the site had much more life. I think offtopic should only be banned if it's a long back and forth and how people use sage should be changed. Then people who want to only see cow posts on a thread can just hide saged posts. It's nice to have a little bit of discussion on a site like this between farmers. Also noticed far too much shit threading of new cows, there haven't been any new cows in forever and the way new threads are shut down so aggressively will end up killing the site as older cows die out or slow down.

Seems like based manifesto Stacies hurt your feelings. Sorry "ma'am" some women doen't have to be terminally online NEETS in order to criticize hetero marriages and motherhood and point out how harmful they can be to women. A lot of women got fucked over by men after sacrificing so much for them and it will always keep happening.

Old lolcow used to be full of farmers and their comments, if OTT sometimes, were at least fun to read. Right now the most prominent posters in many threads are unhinged normies who are seething over their 1 vendetta cow and just want to use anonymity to sperg about the same shit every day in a holier-than-thou Facebook mom voice. Just look at any active thread on /snow/. If it doesn't get redtexted then newfags will think that's the way to behave. I'd rather have too much redtext than letting threads devolve the way they have been in the recent years.

I thought that when you reported something and you wrote the reason in the report box, the farmhands just approved or disapproved the reports and the redtext was whatever the reporter wrote, that's why some redtexts had different punctuation and stuff than others.
