>>6819>>6823Most threads in /ot/ have issues with derailing brought forth by infighting but you are right in the sense that some threads provoke more infighting than others. The manhate thread and unpopular opinion threads for example. We have autosaged manhate in the past and it only led to anons making new threads or complaining about autosage. We've banned anons responding to incels in the past as well. If we allow "debate" or discussion then the anons cry for moderators to clean up their threads after the fact.
If you have a solution to issues similar to the ones mentioned above, we're all ears.

>racism>extreme body image issues>misogyny>horrible views on mental health>horrible views on homosexualityBut no, the thread is just bitching about how weeb dudes find Asian women pure. Great.

pt is way more legendary than mystery despite her not being much of a topic anymore. it's not even comparable. plenty of flakes and cows have their own post history. that's not unique at all and it doesn't make them deserving of a banner. besides, pt's corndog banner is awkward and embarrassing, but not NSFW and nearly as porny.

The sage rules on this website are fucking absurd. I don't really see the point of sage-ing anything unless it bumps a totally dead thread for no reason or if it's a total blogpost. Because otherwise what happens is every other thread that isn't on /pt/ just fucking stagnates and dies because it never gets bumped even if there's an active discussion going on or new milk to discuss because everyone sages every single post out of fear their some other anon will jump down their throat for not sage-ing.
Also anons trying to shut down discussion of a cow in a relevant thread should be bannable. (Ex: the random spergs that appear out of nowhere in Celebricow threads who throw a hissy fit and scream "no one cares move on!" the second Azealia Banks's name is mentioned even though she's currently involved in active drama and is certifiably one of the milkiest celebrities) I thought this was a discussion board but all these rules do is discourage any any discussion that isn't one specific type of comment deemed "new milk".
Basically on a discussion board, imo the only thing that should be saged should be anything that discourages active or relevant conversation (again, blogposts or bumping dead threads for no reason). Anything else should be fair game. If you only want new milk posted, then this should be a news site, not a discussion site. It's the equivalent of saying "This is a current events forum and if you post a news story from CNN you won't get banned but if you discuss any of the ramifications of anything going on in the world or your opinion or politics on this forum that's not contributing and ur banned!!"
Then what's the fucking point of this website?
>>6850Fucking this. I'm glad I'm not the only person who can't stand that banner.
No. 6897
>>6868I feel like half of the banners in rotation now aren't even relevant at all anymore. I get Kiki and PT (especially considering the main board is named after her) but most of the other ones I feel like are 10 pages back at this point with no new milk. We need more current ones like Dasha or Baylee or TND or Jeffree.
Honestly while I'm at it, I don't understand the /pt/ qualifications at all? We're on our 6th Baylee Jae thread, 20th TND thread, 4th Costhot (all in /snow/) and Almost 3rd Celebricows thread in /ot/. None of these are good enough for /pt/ but the Fahr Sindram from 3 years ago with less than 500 comments is allowed on /pt/? What? The standards don't make any sense.
No. 6899
>>6897The celebricows thread fits better in /ot/ because the userbase is more chill, but I agree on the others. Shoe belongs in /pt/ too imo. /pt/ is extremely boring right now, it could use some new cows.
As for banners, most of them are irrelevant because no one is submitting new ones. Mods should encourage people to make some for the current cows. We need a town hall so bad.

Here's my question: do the mods actually read the rules at all? I'm tired of seeing the same sage-sperging anons throwing a hissy fit over everything and red-text/ban happy mods screaming "read the rules!!" with no elaboration on every other post. So I did, I read the rules, and the usage guide and the "list of common terms for those with uncertainty over what constitutes a ban" on /pt/ and /snow/. I used the Poppy thread for example, since mods are extra ban-happy over there right now, but I've seen variations of this same selective banning/rule-ignoring everywhere.
If you're going to let your users mini-mod all over the place and stomp their feet at LEAST make your rules cohesive. If you are going to ban whoever you feel like that day for not saging relevant discussion or whatever, at least make that an actual rule. Because right now, it's not.
I'm sure I'll get banned for this since mods are just banning whoever they feel like at this point but since they don't actually read their own rules I already did the work for you

I personally wish minimodding was allowed back. I see no reason to stop the userbase from helping the site run day to day. Infighting is a separate matter.
On the upside, the Taylor thread has actually improved since it went to /pt/.

>3.6 If your comment doesn't add anything new to the conversation, sage it.>3.6a Sage has been removed from /pt/ and may be removed from other boards in the future. In /pt/, do not write "sage" in any post fields (including the post body) and do not call out others for not sageing.Board rules for /pt/ and /snow/:
>All global rules will be in effect unless otherwise stated.Yes, I saw that as well but if that rule ONLY applied to /pt/, why put it in the "General Rules" section, and not the "Rules for only /pt/ and /snow/" section?
It also doesn't make sense for it to be a /pt/ rule at all.
>If your comment doesn't add anything new to the conversation, sage it>you cannot sage in /pt/ at allBasically
>if your comment doesn't add anything new to the conversation, don't commentWhat they're trying to say is:
>in /pt/ where no one can sage, don't yell at people for not sage-ingBut the way the rule is actually applied in /pt/ is:
>You will get in trouble for commenting in /pt/ if we, the mods, decide your comment isn't contributing. However, what is considered a worthy "contribution" is totally up to us, and there are no real guidelines.Guidelines we've been given for when something is a "bad post":
>it breaks the rules>it's derailing>it's a blogpostSince there is no way to self-police (sage) in /pt/ long as it is not these 3 things, there should be no objections.
So then why are posts like
pic related considered "no contribution"? What rule is being broken here?

Do not ask mods to delete your post if you missed the 30 minute window.Of all the posts you listed as anon "samefagging", one was an acknowledged "double-post" (
>>7025 ) as defined by the rules, one was a "samefag" (
>>7026 )as defined by the rules, and the rest were responses to other people. Going just by the wording of the rules alone, there is no rule against responding to multiple people in multiple posts. There is only a rule against double-posting to correct yourself, and there's no way for us to tell if those posts were made within the correctable 30-min timeframe.
So this person got a perma-ban because…they "samefagged" one time, according to you? I guess we just take your word for it.

Why can't people get it through their head that no one needs to know whether you posted consecutively! You don't need to announce it at all because that removes your anonymity! Doubleposting is redundant here because as a term it comes from forums, where by default you have a username. As long as you're not arguing with or talking to yourself it doesn't fucking matter whether you post two times in a row. Stop announcing it!

I hope our new admin isn't a ghost, and actually understands what the board is and the culture it used to have. I hope the new farmhands aren't such dicks, and are more involved. And I am very wary of these 'thread mods' because that is a giant sign saying Come on down! to all the obsessive posters that act like they own the thread (manhate anon upthread has been trying to get made boss of that thread for what, a year now?), the cancerous anons who just don't get it (JSBS OP for the last few threads) and randoms who want to troll it up.
Also, I'm begging for the mini-modding rule to be relaxed or removed. Users used to do a lot of the work for staff. Now we get staff saying they're overwhelmed and overworked, and of course they are because fucking admin and the clique made it this way.

We have had issues recently, but we all did/do really care for the site and would like to see it improve, which of course means hard decisions.

No. 7149
>>7147Mostly agree but there are some things that I think personally snowballed into the problems we see now
Around a year and a half ago, maybe two, everyone became obsessed with sage and for some reason the mods started enforcing this weird shift in thinking. Prior to that there were no saged posts, no one announced sage, no one minimodded for users to sage, it was basically a completely unused function. I have personally always been of the opinion that sage is pointless on an imageboard with such low traffic, and no pruning. The function of sage is to stop shitposts autopruning good but low traffic threads. Every thread stays up here, there is literally no point in it here.
When this happened, people started using
>Sage your shitas a way to police what other users posted about, and to begin with people would say this in response to legitimate topics of discussion, but it just wasn't what they wanted to talk about personally. Then it escalated into being used to start derailments and infighting and the farmhands for the most part backed this shitty behaviour up instead of policing it. The website cannot only consist of content, there has to be discussion as well and the definition of "posts making no contribution" became way, way too wide. None of these decisions made any sense. Instead of banning the users who randomly became obsessed with using sage to police the topic of discussion they appeased them. You should never try and appease that type of poster, it makes the site bad! People who can't understand threads can have more than one topic of conversation simultaneously are retarded and shouldn't be listened to.
Also people who respond to bait are never visibly redtext banned and that's retarded as hell. Posting bait is an honoured imageboard tradition, responding to bait makes you a shitter. Likewise with shitposting.

Getting a new admin might mean nothing changes because it's another flake, or it might mean things take a shit because it's another Regina. If this admin hadn't done such a crap job, I'd have more confidence in their pick for who takes over. And since the new admin will be picking staff, same thing applies - bad admin picks bad staff and then where are we.
I know changes are coming, I just take issue with the optimism of things will improve.
I appreciate you answering, and if you are who I think you are, I appreciate your work in these threads thus far. Nice to have at least one responsive team member who does seem to genuinely care about the site.
>>7149Sage is kind of retarded. If it was used as intended, it would be pretty good. As it is, yeah, it went south real quick because of course it did. Fucking fags.
You raise some important points. I didn't mean to put it all on staff, there has been an influx of newfags who just don't fucking care as well as some of the more retarded oldfags getting out of control, and as you say staff have sometimes appeased them rather than cleaning it up.
No. 7168
>>7167Sage wouldn't help PT at all. It would make it worse because then people would complain about it not being used right. Tbh, they should auto sage posts when someone replies to a main post. This should be automatic. Usually replies to posts are just replying without new info and if new info is added in, oh well. Its saged. Same with photo dumps. If you reply, when its the rule already to sage between first and last, that would be helpful too. It does it already for you.
On another note, a lot of shit is no contribution. The nitpicks are fine here and there. Don't try to argue your nitpick or dive into a huge amount of detail about it because no one cares, its a nitpick. Same with trying to dispell people's opinions and argue over stupid shit like currency in Japan in the Moo thread. None of that is helpful. From a mod perspective, one or two insights about it should be fine, but when it gets out of ahand and st arts derailing, bans should be given or warnings. It makes sense. I don't know why people keep trying to argue it.

Can we get some parity restored between the Isa Sparks thread and the Lola Tyrrell thread please? In other words, I'm asking for the Isa thread to be unlocked.
The Lola Tyrell thread is poor quality; more than half the posts in there seem to be several anons who know her personally and want a space to vent. None of those anons are bothering to integrate, they've barely learned how to post and that was probably via bans and spoonfeeding of rules by staff. None of them know what milk actually is. Case in point, Lola made a post calling a friend 'girlfriend' and this was posted like it was an actual life event. They don't like her eyebrows, another example of "milk" posted there. Nitpicking's okay to an extent once the cow is in motion but it's hardly the foundation for a thread. One of these anons most likely started the thread i.e. it has been and remains a vendetta, with a few of us regulars on the side trying to work out what the fuck the milk actually is - and making tong jokes. It's not that I object to this thread existing, but it certainly needs work. It's interesting to compare to the Isa thread which started at the same time and which was rapidly locked.
The Isa Sparks thread was quickly locked for being a 'vendetta', but I'm the anon who started it and I'm a regular here (since the days of the first admin). I have no connection to her, I follow the Raven threads which is why I and the rest of us wanted the thread. Raven followers already know who all the players are in this situation. I have no vendetta. Not liking a cow isn't a vendetta and many a thread op has been written by such an anon. Yes, some anons fucked up by not capturing material before it was deleted, but I couldn't help that - the altcows thread was being derailed by this topic and we needed a separate thread quickly. We also talked about it in Thread Requests.
Nothing has ever come of that thread locking - say, the exposure of certain posters. The implication by a farmhand statement here in meta was this was being looked into as part of the locking.
Despite some suss posters feeding us information in and around that thread, the Isa thread was better-quality with more potential and more of a pedigree than the Lola Tyrrell one (which seems to enjoy next to zero redtext). And suss users feeding us information has happened in many threads here over the years. Why is that suddenly lock-worthy?
At this point, it's coming across like the thread locking was done for personal reasons by a staff member. If that isn't the case, make it clear to us. It's apparent that two different standards have been applied between two new threads of similar age, at any rate. Can a farmhand comment?

>>7149Well put anon, I 100% agree with you. This is the kind of shit that makes 0 sense, and if you try to question the logic you get banned or called a newfag or "sage ur shit"-ed to death. I've been using image boards for close to 10 years now (including this one for about 3) and it wasn't until the past year or so I ever even saw the phrase "sage".
I also don't get this whole cry of "board culture!! if you question anything ur newfag get out!!" as it's been clearly pointed out several times here that none of the ACTUAL rules in place enforce or clear up any of that. How do you expect people to follow the rules or the "established culture" if there's no definitive guidelines on what any of that is anywhere?
Like this kinda bullshit
>>7017>/pt/ contains legendary cows that earned a special status on the site by either abusing it or being consistently milky for many many years.>Not every snowflake needs to be in /pt/, it's not a badge of honor for amazing threads but for terrible people who have had consistent milk for a very long time.This is laughable. There's literally no guideline for what gets to be in /pt/ vs /snow/. It's just the same 3 or so cows over and over and over again and that's about it. There's cows in /snow/ that are WAY milkier and have much more active discussion than Sheena Duquette or Fahr Sindram or Doe Deere or the million other dying threads on /pt/ under the weight of Moo and Onion.
Honestly at this point it would make more sense to just put Moo and Onion in their board, and then everything else on another. Cause that's basically all /pt/ is anyways. But either way this sage-nazing being touted as "board culture" needs to go.

I haven't posted here in long time. I was around since 2015 iirc, but stopped coming with time. Everything is so different now.
I've lurked a little the last couple weeks and I would like to give some suggestions to the new staff:
- Create more boards where you'd put threads by category.
i.e.
- Great Nippon related threads such as aidorus, cosplayers, the girls who prostitute themselves in Japan, etc
- A board for anons who pander to the alt right/left, fakebois or troons and the like. Basically the threads whose "cow" relies a lot on political issues
- A board for beauty/lifestyle and aesthetic focused threads, etc. You could add all the makeup gurus, the goth crew, and others.
You don't need to follow these categories. They're just suggestions, and you can find different categories to sort the threads out.
I just mean lolcow would be a lot tidier if you had more boards, and your farmhands would have an easier time.
I don't think /pt/ should be changed though.
- Please consider creating a "cemetery" board (similar to /manure/, but not only for bad threads, but for threads that are locked because they've reached post limit. It would make the catalog a lot better to navigate and more organized).
Basically, as soon as a thread died, it would be moved. No one would be mad people are saging dead threads with "no milk" because all inactive threads would have their own place. If you had "new milk" and wanted to know where to post it/if you should make a new thread, you could use the suggestion thread you guys currently have in /b/. Only active threads would be in the other boards, making it easier to find them/read them.
I believe my suggestion won't be considered because I know you've had /pt/ and /snow/ since the very start, but I do things these changes and more boards would help a lot.
Peace out and good luck!

And please, don't act like Lolcow always was a manhaters haven cause it's wasn't. Your shit is pretty recent (1 year maybe?) so, if you feel like you're so opressed by us, regular farmers/old fags, please consider making you're own female wizard board and take the incels you tend to attract (those who post CP and gore) with you.

The nitpicking in /pt/ over Greg being ugly, moo being fat, and Luna being shit at Makeup is annoying and makes it harder for others who read for the milk to read the thread. Instead of sperging out over a farmhand warning anons to stop derailing over another shitty haircut maybe take a break from posting.

trigger so many anons apparently.
I find it ridiculous that with so many more important matters to attend to, they choose to focus on man-haters. It's stupid that any criticism of a man or men can be considered as man hate speech.
Can you even vent about a guy at work, or criticize a politician or an author for example, that happens to be a man? Because the site rules are not clear on that and as such it allows for arbitrary warning/banning.

>>7266I don't even frequent the man-hating general and I don't have anything against it either, but I would like to know what constitutes man-hate if it can get you banned?
I was about to post something about Houellebecq in the book reading thread and talk about his misogyny as the central topic as well as his overrated style, but now I don't know if it's going to
trigger anons or not.
So, yeah, I think it's important to have a discussion on what constitutes man-hate and tbh I find it ridiculous that we have to do that on an imageboard that is supposedly oriented towards girls.
I don't think any actual woman should have problems with women venting about men as long as it doesn't derail other threads.
And we never had problems or complaints about man-haters until recently.
Also, my suggestion is that femcel belongs to a r9k vocabulary and using a stupid term like that should warrant a ban because there are high chances that the poster belongs to that shitboard.

>>7269>I was about to post something about Houellebecq in the book reading thread and talk about his misogyny as the central topic as well as his overrated style, but now I don't know if it's going to trigger anons or not.We shouldn't have to worry about
triggering (probably male or troon) anons on a female dominated image board by discussing things like sexism in some writer's work. That's silly.
No. 7275
I think that women on a women only board should be given the free speech to express their feelings about men.
No one on Wizardchan (a men's imageboard that explicitly disallows women) or 4chan (a male-dominated site) ever gets banned for woman hate or misogyny. They have the freedom to speak their minds and express their feelings. Why can't we have that?
Unlike the people on those two sites, we're also not nearly as vile. We don't post photos/videos of dead men and mock them, share creepshots of guys we've seen IRL, post tips on drugging and assaulting men, say underage boys who get raped "deserved it" or are liars, post rape/torture fantasies on pictures of random men and boys en masse, post photos of people's 7-12 year old sons and say shit like ">tfw no little bf" etc etc. "Man hate" in female dominated spaces doesn't result in mass killings, assaults, rapes or any even any real social detriments on men. Many of us have men who we love, respect and appreciate IRL. That doesn't mean many, many grievances about men as a collective aren't valid or worth talking about.
We should be allowed to say what we want about men, they certainly don't pull any (literal or figurative) punches with us, on any site they inhabit in large amounts. The only actual downside is that men who come here and read such posts will feel bad. However, according to the very rules of this site that explicitly disallow male posters, they shouldn't even be here, so it's not our problem.
No. 7277
>>7275I think the issue is more that the anons who don't have problems with men are called out in a pretty rude, nasty way by anons who do. I don't spend tons of time in man hate or even gender crit threads, so I certainly don't see why you can't have them, or two or three or even ten threads about it.
Man hate does pop up in almost every thread, which is fine because I can scroll, but sometimes it looks like a lot of baiting going on.
I have a tinfoil that probably half the man hate is posted by trannies, which is ridic but there you go.

>>7264We do have an agreed standard with ban lengths and ban offenses. Manhate derailing would be considered derailing a thread to say something that would better be suited for man hate. A good example would be gender crit like another anon said. The topics may be similar but they're not the same.

>>7291Sorry I misread, I didn't realize you were addressing alt-cows and not man hate specifically. Derailing in GC will result in a ban, the ban in the vent thread was red texted as an example of a post that would be better suited for man-hate. The anon was only given a warning as well.

The derailing in Alt Cows started on the 16th and didn't get red texted until today.
The man hate derailing in GC was never red texted, if it was addressed at all. A couple of anons called out the derailing comments, so they probably reported them too.
We're frustrated because, if mods are around and able to respond here, why are reports being ignored?

No. 7313
>>7280This. I’m cool with the man-hate threads. It’s something that a lot of anons on an all female board are interested in and I have nothing against its exsistance, but….
Myself and several other anons were once discussing (iirc unpopular opinions or vent thread) how we’ve had horrible life experiences with other females (personal life experiences) and one anon mentioned that maybe a thread could be created in /g/ or /ot/ to discuss issues with female friends, female bullies, female abusers, mom problems (since we have one for relationships with dad’s, but not moms) etc. Not in a “woman-hate thread” type of way but a venting, advice, and discussion thread type of way.
Immediately a couple of farmers tried to shut it down, spam that the anons who wanted to discuss it
must be secret male posters/incels and that all convo regarding females bad experiences with other females should be shut down. They were being overly hostile over it just being mentioned.
It’s when it leaks into other threads and when anons who frequent man-hate feel they need to aggressively rip apart their fellow farmers just for having a different opinion or having the same experiences they discuss constantly, but with the opposite gender, that there seems to be a problem.
One farmer in the thread just agreed that it was good idea and that they wanted to discuss/vent about being bullied by other girls in high school. Quickly, they got a bunch of responses telling them to “gtfo incel”/“male confirmed”/“you cant post here!!1” when they were clearly a female. I later saw that same anon posting a screencap of it on c.c., saying that it really upset them and had offput them from posting in /g/ anymore, when they’d been a longtime farmer.
>inb4 “that anon can go b’aww on c.c. hugbox more”It’s not cool to do that to other female farmers in a thread that has nothing to do with man hate. You can have polite discussions about one, without it negating the other. That’s why most farmers see that thread as a containment thread. It’s not the topic; it’s the pushy, rude, mini modding, harassing other users, running farmers off in other threads that’s annoying, js.
No. 7316
>>7313I would have to agree the infighting on /ot/ and /g/ is a bit out of hand. From the dog hate/love rivalry to anons calling each other handmaidens over disagreements. Thanks for the feedback on this because I was unsure if some anons felt the same way about those boards.

The anons in the thread have posted screenshots and detailed op summaries (scamming money, harassing users, bragging about being a hoe, screaming at people who stop giving her money, lying, sexual assault allegations, etc), you on the other hand haven't posted one piece of evidence. Stop ruining the thread for the many farmers that are interested in it. She posted it on her public social media, so its fair game to give our observations on if.

>>>/snow/735600>>>/snow/735599 (denying the SA allegations isn't milk either, not to hard to see how retardedly implausible they are unless you're looking at her with shit-tinted glasses)
>you on the other hand haven't posted one piece of evidenceHere are some examples of vendetta-y posts made in her thread in the past two days:
>>>/snow/736179>>>/snow/736160>>>/snow/736133 (also "hi cow")

>>>/snow/735534 (more cowtipping)
>>>/snow/735437I.e. most of them. Most of them sound like samefags as well. It wouldn't be a "false report" to report any of these posts, really.

Relevant screencap.>3rd) “denying the SA allegations isn't milk either”It’s a screenshot of her snap of a screencap of her texts and and denying allegations. That’s relevant to the accusations as it’s her response to them.
The rest of the posts you linked:
Over HALF of the posts you linked were posts calling YOU out for derailing and shitting up the thread and saying it’s not vendetta/asking you why you think it’s vendetta. Including 2 of my posts (that were in response to you) asking you to stop derailing the thread.
THAT.IS.NOT.VENDETTA.
Anons getting annoyed at you for derailing and threatening to report anons is not “vendetta-y” posts.
The only ones I agree with are cowtipping, besides that none of them break the rules or are “vendetta-y”, one is even just a l video she posted on YT where an anon said “she blamed the wrong person for spitting on her” based on the footage.
“I’m not trying to get the thread locked”
Really? Then why did you just link of bunch of non-vendetta posts and throw in random posts that aren’t breaking the rules?
>And by the way, getting this heated and defensive over this isn't exactly helping your case….what case….all I said was to stop derailing and to hide the thread if you don’t like it…. take a chill pill
What you didn’t really address:
you
did derail and you
did threaten people with reporting in response to anons politely asking you why you thought it was vendetta (false reporting is a common way to try to get a thread locked down). So where’s the lie?
>”None of the shit about her that's been posted in the past few days has actually been milky at all”When the thread hadn’t even been posted in for a month before it was necroed
only 2 days ago specifically for the rape allegation. Which
she posted about on
her public social. So it was brought to
her thread, as it is relevant to
her , to discuss and post related screenshots. That’s the only milk that been posted “in the past few days”. And yes, sexual assault allegations ARE milk. And they have been on every thread that has had a cow facing the same allegations.
You haven’t posted 1 thing to debunk the allegations, just randomly insisted it’s vendetta/pulltards/fanfic so you’re point is moot until you actually give a reason why it has no merit and why it’s not milk.
If you think the posts are not up to par then hide the damn thread (like anons have been telling you to do)
But just bc you
personally don’t believe the sexual assault allegations, doesn’t mean they aren’t and doesn’t mean all discussions of them are “vendetta”, doesn’t mean screenshots of her public posts where she addresses them are “vendetta” and certainly doesn’t mean anons asking you to explain or to stop derailing is “vendetta”.
I can’t believe I actually had to click on all those posts just to see you bs-ing,

Just the fact that you call rape accusations a fanfiction, as if Morena was famous or someone anybody (besides you I guess) would admire…

I'm venting, skip over this if you have already consumed your daily salt allowance.
It's such a waste to see actual gossip and conversations that can have genuine impact being left to drown in a sea of shitposts, or worse, removed posts, because trivia like manhate threads seem to dominate staff time here these days? Like seriously guys, if certain /ot/ threads waste that much of your time just nuke them? Is continuity and thread management in there really that serious?
Two examples of threads that have been stifled lately and which frustrate the hell out of me personally:
The Isa thread and the Altcows thread leading to it were chock full of suss posts which I did flag with post numbers here. Some of those posts could easily have been Raven, and it would be quite the milk fountain had she been found to be posting that here. Will we ever know? Thread got locked and as the farmhand answered upthread, the issue was put on the backburner. I would have thought Raven posting that info here (if she did) would be you know… milk. Yes I keep going on about this thread but I can't get past ignoring one of our most constant and reprehensible cows- Raven.
The Zoosadism thread was censored by someone's request for a reason, but due to lack of follow up it stayed censored, and with KF actively censoring and debunking the truth in this instance, leaving seemingly no free space to publicly discuss the id of a scumbag that anons unearthed right here in our thread, fucking ages ago. This isn't just some gossip going by the wayside, it needed action. No updates were given to the thread about how things were progressing with unmasking this guy and whether we could talk about him again or take action or who was doing what. Just letting this go into the ether was not okay. But at the same time, I wanted to trust the people who said or implied they were working on it, including admin (who implied they were in the know). And if you didn't talk to Null, then why the hell not? Given he was the main censor, here had to be a reason for it. Don't visit this thread if you want to avoid the subject matter, it's upsetting- Admin's post about this today giving some context

Mentioned before, but can this shit please be bannable in /ot/ and /snow/? People coming to a thread about a cow and specifically trying to derail any negative discussion of the cow? Has happened a million times over with Jeffree Star, Azealia Banks and now Ariana Grande.
Just to clarify, I'm not complaining about people having different opinions on cows, or even if farmers like certain people. But if you like that celebrity, don't come to a thread specifically dedicated to talking shit about them and complain or try to derail it by calling everything nitpicking or sperging, especially if receipts have been provided. That's just fucking stupid.

>>7527>>7532>>7531Did you even read my post? That's not what my complaint is at all. I'm saying in a broad way, don't go to a thread that is specifically dedicated to taking about a cow, and then get mad when people are talking about a cow. How is that not considered derailing? But since you decided to make it about Ariana specifically and also don't seem to understand anything about the human body, I'll explain it to you:
>Saying spergs who shit up a thread with posts about wether a cow is 5'0" or 5'2" for hours on end are annoying is not "trying to derail any negative discussion." I don't know why you came here to bitch about people being annoyed by your nitpicking when it's against the rules.This is not nitpicking. Her entire persona is built around her height and stature. She's literally changed her height on google so that she appears smaller than she actually is. If it was any other celebrity I would agree that it's splitting hairs, but considering it's a huge part of her celebrity, the difference between her being 5'0" (below average height) and 5'3" (average height) is actually relevant, and is actually milk. It's also relevant in discussion about her weight, because someone who is 5'0" and looks like her would be considered a healthy weight. Someone who is 5'3" and looks light her is underweight.
In layman's terms just especially for you anon: Ariana is lying to her massive audience (a lot of which are impressionable girls) to pass herself off as a healthy weight, when really she's ana-chan. Here's a pretty picture too if you STILL don't understand why it matters, and why it's not nitpicking, you idiot.
No. 7534
>>7533nigger, she is lying about a
two fucking inch height difference. it's not that big of a deal and it's certainly not milk, it is pure nitpicking. you don't see anons in the kpop thread pulling this retarded shit when the heights they claim to be are obviously more than just an inch or two off their actual heights. take your vendetta somewhere else.

looked like her she would be fine but that 2 inch height difference made her underweight, which isn't how bmi works.
>Why come to a website dedicated to shit talking and then get butthurt when people are shit talking?no one sounds butthurt but you. and while this is a website for talking shit, nitpicking is against the rules as is vendetta posting. we have a right to complain when you're completely derailing the thread with that trash.

>>7536Keyword being OVERLY. Nta but you went off on a tangent for hours about her damn height and got buttblasted and came to this thread to complain when 3 anons disagreed with you.
I agree with you that shaving off 3 inches of your height as a celebrity is cowish and weird, and deserves to be discussed; but it absolutely does not warrant HOURS of back and forth "waah 5'3 isn't actually short". You got told off by MULTIPLE anons for overly nitpicking. That's it. If more than one anon is telling you you're being stupid, you're probably being fucking stupid, and should take your L and reflect. You are 100% in the wrong here, and mods are not going to intervene because your problem is ridiculously petty and childish and you should have kept it in the thread instead of crying here where actual site issues are being.

>>7538Well, now you're the only turning it into nitpicking by continuing to not understand anything and not understand how to read. The post from Celebricow clearly says 5'3", so I'm not sure where you're even getting 5'2" from in the first place. Again, it is how it works. You can't ever actually tell what height she is from pictures, because she's ALWAYS wearing heels. She tells us she's 5'0" and has gone as far as to have that changed on google. You look at a picture of her, seeing how skinny she is and think "well, she says she's 5ft so she's just really petite". Knowing her ACTUAL body proportions makes a difference on how healthy/unhealthy she is.
>>7539Not all of those posts were me, so I don't even know what you're talking about here. I posted some, other anons posted some backing up what I had originally stated and continuing the discussion , and then some nitpicking anon threw a hissy fit over how they didn't think it was relevant. I'm not the one nitpicking in this situation.
Mods, can you just intervene here? I don't care if that means me being banned too. I'm going to restate my point here again, since I used the Ariana thing just as a recent example and it got twisted into me supposedly being butthurt because that one anon didn't like several other people talking abour relevant information:

>>7545>That is in no way a crucial part of her personaYou're an idiot. If it's not a crucial part of her persona and those 3 inches don't even matter like you keep screaming about, then why does she go so far out of her way to lie about it?
>Anons would be right to complain about it because you derailed the fucking thread for hours over itIf you really think so then report it and move on. It's the mod's job to decide what's nitpicking and what's not. It's not yours. It's not derailing, because the thread is about celebrities and we were discussing a celebrity. I don't know why this all needs to be explained to you. Also I'm sorry, I didn't realize someone locked you in a room and FORCED you to sit there and refresh the thread non-stop for exactly 2 hours and 7 minutes.
>Mini-modding isn't against the rules on /ot/Sure, but "Do not derail or disrupt the conversation." is. Throwing a hissy fit because people are having a conversation you don't like is derailing. If you don't like the conversation, don't read it. If you think it's derailing or nitpicking, report it. If neither of those things make you happy, then I don't know what to tell you.

lot of OTT racebaiting and don't even contribute to the main boards, which makes you look like a bit lost.

Instead of telling multiple people to use adblock to block the image, can't the people that REALLY need to see her ass just watch that vid? If that image was posted in a thread today it would need to be spoilered, and people would be mad if it wasn't. If it's about having a mystery.jpg related banner there's plenty of milk that can be used otherwise without having to have literal porn in everyone's face.

The Morena In Japan thread is definitely filled with PULLtards, not so much LSA users. I looked up Morena on the former to cross check, and it seems she's not too well-known, and opinions on her range from mild to ambivalent. Some like her for ~*sex positivity*~ reasons, others feel bad for her or think she's gross. No discussion to be found on her being "woke" or not, and there were only a handful of replies to a thread about her raping someone. Most people didn't seem to fully believe it, in stark contrast to the PULL users going crazy and insisting it's true.
I don't want to even touch the K-pop generals on either site since they're so cancerous, so no word on that. I really feel like you can detect LSA posters most heavily in the Celebricow, vent and unpopular opinions threads.
No. 7686
>>7685You're right but I agree that its mostly Black/Race baiting anons who do this about Amina. If you go to Lipstick alley shit about her, a lot of it is kpop fans sperging about her skin tone or mentioning irrelevent Black girls who 'would be so much more popular in Japan!!!1" on here and on LSA. There's def some crossover. As for Morena I've seen people on her thread here mentioning how she isnt "pro black" but yeah youre right thats mostly PULL crossover.
The kpop thread has the most LSA crossover imo. Theres way too much gifs and race baiting for it not to lmao.

https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/whats-the-tea-on-amina-du-jean.1313830/#post-33352438The poster in that thread who linked here also posted about her in 2015, so even if that thread is dry, now we know there is some connection. I actually am one of the farmers who started looking into the Amina thread at first (specifically, I'm one of the people you're referring to who compared her to a less weird-looking/ugly girl lmao) because even though she's not that interesting, it struck me as way too suspicious that there was always a WK getting the threads locked in /snow/, so I'm not that quick to believe it's a recent LSA invasion.

Out of curiosity, I went back to the thread and looked at the picture that you thought merited such a heavy-handed response and it's…a fully clothed selfie of her wearing fox ears.
Yes, she's an annoying weeb. Yet what about it is even particularly "BDD delusional"? You could've picked any other of those gross lewds that were posted where she's totally acting up her own ass, but you picked one of the tamest pictures I've seen of her posted recently and went off because you have some weird inner projection about wearing animal ears in public. The fuck cares. You needed the timeout.

>>7726This isn't baseless though, especially since the one time she brought it up was
after seeing us talk about it here. Remember that the lipo talk that people tried to talk about before the truth came out was also a heated debate. There was a ton of infighting over the lipo speculation. Then we find out that Mariah didn't have one lipo session, but multiple. I don't see why that isn't the case with tax since she's a huge liar and not doing them is definitely up her alley. It's not something that came out of thin air. The proof that she
did pretend to do was that she was doing taxes by hand with pencil and paper during the final days of the tax deadline. And honestly, the anon getting her panties in a twist in that thread should report rather than constantly yelling stop and trying to control what people talk about every time it happens.

So that's confusing and feels inconsistent.

Honestly at this point can we just have a separate board for Moo & Onion or something where you can stick all their threads and archives? That's basically all /pt/ is at this point anyways. People are stupid and necro the old ones etc, do we REALLY need 6 threads of them floating around at all times? Especially when every other topic/cow gets shoved in the corner.

Now if they could only do that to Anisa's thread.they did and it was a shitty move. no matter what you think about the posters and the nitpicking that went on in anisa's thread, the fact remains that the thread was already on autosage, not harming anyone, and there was plenty of milk to be found. in the last day alone, anisa dropped a video exploiting her dying dad's illness for pity points & views ffs, and there's still the ongoing brittany venti drama. there are much milder cows whose threads remain open, plus, to reiterate, the thread had already been on autosage for about a year.
locking the thread was a biased decision and nothing will change my mind about that. it's pretty convenient for anisa that the thread got locked when she was facing the most criticism in her "career"; how nice for her that one of her top donors and #1 whiteknight, blinko, is a (male!) mod here. she's been protected from the beginning, with mods and the old admin openly mocking people who posted in her thread, handing out unfair bans to people who dared talk about her, putting the thread on autosage, and now finally locking it completely.
i can see the direction that lolcow is headed and it's not good. cows have mod friends on the inside to protect them (in anisa's case, it's a fucking male WK), "man hate" is now a banned topic on /ot/ which the mods claimed is because too many anons replied to the robots who raided the thread (which was the exact opposite of the truth since everyone ignored the maleposters in the latest thread, it was just too much work to moderate it & ban them and much easier to bend to what the men demanded by force), and the GC thread is next to be shut down for the same reason. this isn't lolcow anymore. mods have totally kowtowed to cows & men/transpeople who set out to silence women and that's the exact opposite of what lolcow is supposed to be. it's such a disappointment - this is no longer a safe place for women to talk about silly drama OR the serious stuff that affects us in our daily lives.
personally i have no reason to post here anymore. what was good about this site has now gone to shit. i used to love lolcow, but this isn't the only imageboard with a female userbase, so this is goodbye for me. i hope the new admin has fun with her new site where cow sympathizers, whiteknights, dudes, and trannies reign supreme. best of luck to her.

Moo anons were able to do it, other threads have also been through a similar process from what I've seen. The anisa thread never saw improvement and no attempts for improvement were ever made.
I'm not the old admin and the locking of man hate wasn't under my direction but here is my opinion on it. If you compare the GC thread to manhate you will realize the GC thread doesn't struggle with constant raids and the general discussion and flow of that thread is entirely different. I don't plan on making a final decision on manhate until we have a townhall.
For 100% transparency the current moderation team consists of 5 people, 4 mods and only myself. The implication that there is not only a male mod, but that he is specifically a donor for anisa is ridiculous and quite amusing.

>>8275>The redtext is not a good reflection of the ban reason but it has more to do with your post history on that topic.nta that did the original post that got red-texted in pic related or this post, but can mods ever actually answer a question or be helpful in any way? This shit is so frustrating. At least 50% red texts don't make any sense to the userbase who can't see what info you see and need more context. How are we supposed to follow your rules if you can't even explain or justify your application of them?
You guys act like every question of red text or ban is combative but we're just trying to understand the logic when it doesn't align with the posted rules. Just give more context on red-texts or bans so the users can understand what the actual offense was and how not to do it in the future. Cause right now it just looks like it's whatever mod's emotion is that day.
Same with "no contribution" flags in /pt/. Give a clear definition of what YOU define as "contribution", or elaborate more when you flag things. Or better yet, stop flagging users trying to participate in the discussion when you don't even give the option to sage.
Kinda regretting not applying for a mod position tbh because these issues are so easily fixed by providing your users with more clarity. Leaving things this undefined and open to interpretation just makes it that much easier for mini-moders to project their own definitions and set of the rules and sperg on everyone who doesn't align with how THEY think a site should work. I think that would help with a lot of the in-fighting as well, and probably the excess of unnecessary reported posts I assume you guys get.

This isn't so much a complaint rather than a question. I noticed this anon was banned from the Kelly thread, I understand if the ban was for general derailing seeing as she was kinda going off topic to defend that stalker fan but the (back to tumblr) modding makes it seem like we have some sort of political stance now?
I've been active for the last four years and originally from /cgl/ (which I kinda assume most anons originate from but maybe not anymore) and as far as I remember we always had diverse political opnions. I understand the gender critical thread attracts a large demographic here now and I even enjoy lurking the thread but are we really required to adhere to radfem ideology? because every day I see anons sperging about troons/men in threads that have nothing to do with the subject, and if mods are backing that stance now, you can't realistically expect the entire userbase to be exclusively terfs? I always appreciated lolcow's apolitical environment but it seems like the entire site is leaning towards a specific ideology now.
Clarification would be appreciated.

>>8275Hey new admin, thank you for stepping up and taking on the manure farm that lolcow has become. As I can never really make townhalls, hoping I can bring something up here to go into consideration.
In the past, it seems some topics in /ot/ were shut down or rerouted to other threads for what I saw as really inane reasoning. Transpassing and drag queen(?) threads were closed and forced to merge discussion with the radfem thread at the time (which eventually became gender critical). Even a thread talking about all-female societies was either funneled into man-hate or the radfem threads, which didn't coincide at all with the discussions going on at the time.
I just think if the things being talked about aren't getting out of hand one way or another, why not allow separate discussions of these topics? While there is some crossover of, say, radfem and gender critical beliefs, there are also some differences that would make separate topics viable (and preferable) for some farmers.

>>8333Maybe not all of them, but I think some of them could branch off if given the chance. It was really annoying when that happened initially because all the separate discussions were forced into one thread, and it's honestly difficult to have conversations on multiple topics within one thread. It makes GC really clunky sometimes.
I also kind of miss radfem talk that isn't about girldicks and shit.

Why was

It was more informative than a derail and it was directly relevant to the thread so I guess I'm just confused on what exactly is considered derailing at this point. Does it just have to be reported and it's automatically redtexted or was there more behind it?

>>8377I agree. I came to say exactly this.
I don't mind the idea of /w/ in theory, but isn't it messy having threads that would be a better fit in /g/ or /ot/ among /snow/ threads? Like, a board for weeby flakes/cows specifically narrows down searches and controls for user interests, which is good, but mixing in generals from /ot/ seems a bit OTT.
I also worry now that we're going to have special individuals who think anime somehow doesn't belong on imageboards feeling vindicated by this, sperging out and going "Go back to /w/!!!" whenever anyone mentions anything even a little anime or Japan-related, or uses an anime reaction picture.
No. 8385
>>8383>>8383We can discuss this further at the townhall. If /media/ is created then a few threads can probably move there but there are enough cosplay/lolita related cows to have their own place versus the typical camgirl or drawfag. The catalog is filled with enough cows to fit a certain criteria and this doen't even include past threads archived on /snow/. The idea behind /media/ is to move topics of games, and inspo there while /ot/ remains for general discussion.
Other topics to discuss include the possible return of locked threads, including man hate.

>>8366Love this idea, since there's so many costhots and weebs to discuss. Also love the name /weeb/ seems very fitting
>>8377This never bothered me before but I could see how it would. Here's how I would revamp it (aka my opinion, which nobody asked for):
>Bring back /manure/ or something similar, clear are the spam threads out of all the boards>Create an archive board where all the maxed out threads go so only the current ones are in the boards. This would clear up a lot of space and stop people from necroing old threads when there's a newer one in progress. The /pt/ catalog is so clogged up with all the old maxed out threads of the same 5-ish cows. (clever name about a milkman? collecting the empty bottles and replacing them with only the newest, freshest milk to your front door?)>Now that all that clutter is cleared, move more cows from /snow/ to /pt/, /pt/ is just the Moo and Onion show at this point and there are plenty of cows in /snow/ that are on 20+ threads or way milkier than some of the "cows" in /pt/. Thread guide says: "Post all new cows/snowflakes to /snow/. If applicable, Lolcow staff will move your thread to /pt/" but how often has that actually happened, other than TND? There are SO many applicable cows, /snow/ is overflowing.>Move the Costhots, Sheena Duquette, etc to /weeb/>Now that there's more room in /snow/ move the "cow general" threads (Celebricow, PULL, etc) from /ot/ to there>Make /g/ the "comfy" board (Dress-up games, Nostalgia threads, Aesthetic, etc)>Still keep the girly boards in /g/ as well (Sex Work, Skincare, Makeup, etc) but move the more critical ones to /ot/ ("Fetishes You're Ashamed Of", "Men You're Ashamed To Say You'd Fuck", "Women shilled as attractive that you find ugly", etc)>Leave /ot/ as it's name sake: just threads that don't fit anywhere elseI know that all would be a lot of work, but just some thoughts. If nothing else I think a "milkman" board of some sort would clear up a lot of clutter.
Anyways, just wanted to say thanks to whatever new mods are actually responding to questions in this thread, it's a nice change. Luv u mod-chans uwu

trigger happy.
I got a ban for “infighting” when an anon totally confused what I said in a previous post, so I clarified it (I guess I wasn’t nice enough or some shit?) and got banned for infighting. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t infighting constant back and fucking forth of arguing and cheap shots and not correcting an anon who missed the point of your post? I can’t even appeal the ban either. New mod team is a joke and they need to be reeled in.

Yes, we've got some
trigger happy wrong-banning farmhands right now, but that'll right itself soon enough as long as admin keeps putting them in line when they overstep.
Even though I've done a lot of arguing in the updates thread, I gotta give credit where it's due: so far, admin is indeed, working diligently to improve the site and hear us out/reply to us. And I appreciate that.
Of course, I'm sure we'll have problems along the way that will still warrant negative feedback (we have one hell of a shaky ship Admin has to upright), but /so far/ things seem to be on the right track for improvements. If this continue that way, I'm happy and intend to try to help out as much as I can, like I used to do before things went to shit. We're all cranky from the garbage fire old-admin let the site fall to, I'm sure new-admin understands that, being a user of the board as well.
No. 8570
>>8559over the last little while i’ve noticed a ton of posts being erroneously redtexted, sometimes in the midst of posts that actually
do deserve a redtext but seemingly have no farmhand intervention to speak of.
also the staff’s subjective ideas of “good posts” vs “bad posts” is getting out of hand wrt: banning people and topics because they don’t personally find it entertaining or milky. this is especially true when comparing how fucking overreactive farmhands were for the pnp thread despite it being on page 282782 of the catalog thanks to autosage, with a number of absolute GARBAGE threads being allowed to carry on with a miserable lack of sage, quality control, or actual milk.
the same standards are not held across the board what.so.ever. it makes no earthly goddamned sense that threads like sheena duquette’s for example have existed for so long despite the fact that she’s about as active as leafyishere is on youtube and has literally zero milk, but we have to have entertaining topics banned just because. half the cows in /pt are dry as fuck and do absolutely nothing online anymore yet nobody is penalized for droning on about their uneventful lives and posting 300 screenshots of absolutely fucking nothing (luna thread.)
i hope im making myself clear. i’ve used this site for like 3 or 4 years now and i hate to sound like an oldhead but i really don’t remember this being such a problem back in the day.

>>8612Go look at the state of r/illnessfakers and know they were ALL ejected from here, then it makes sense. It's funny how the munchie threads have not been super active over on KF, any place that holds them accountable by non-munchies in terms of post history, they can't deal with that.
Munchies are especially pernicious in their attention seeking, and they weren't just out-competing each other in those threads (and selfposting out the wazoo) but starting to spread across the board just like the anachans did. It's a subtle derailing towards themsleves any time and in any thread they post. Any cow that has EDS we had to read the "muh EDS" and "EDS definitions" blogs, any other condition, "muh this" and "muh that but I still achieve more than this cow", "muh in depth description of med bullshit".
A big issue was a whole lot of posters telling each other that their blogs were valuable and an exception to the rules because they were so informative. This is not how the board works, munchies don't get to set the rules themselves. The occasional nurse or doctor post was pretty good, but that's it.
I personally enjoyed munchie subject matter - they are the worst humans possible - I saw the vote and know that it was small and quick, and I was a little bummed at the time. But the thread regulars were fucking poison - all munchies are.

Stop comparing Anisa, whoms thread is probably full of people who are just jealous they couldn't get to root Ian first and are now upset. PnP at least had some milk but it was utterly ruined by retarded vendetta-chans who admitted they were now here because Ariana didn't want to be their friend!1!

Not letting people talk shit on Edwin in the thread is enabling that thought process.

>christians are so bullied uwu>ugh your liberal bubble ree>chris pratt did nuffin wrong how dare gay woman criticize homophobia>liam neeson still isn't racist y'allShould this thread just be banned? Ariana is stale, Angelina Jolie is irrelevant, Amanda-chan is dead, and AB was the main cow who has her own thread now.

OP is still pushing Pizzagate bullshit (which if you're unfamiliar is a widely debunked conspiracy that was basically started on 4chan's /pol/ and ended with a man charging a pizza restaurant with an AR-15 because the internet told him there were children being held there).
