This thread is for discussing the results of the Jan 22 - Feb 5 Hellweek of 2024.

It was requested in the original Hellweek thread that we provide some statistics, so we've spent some time putting together a spreadsheet with some stats which you can access here! Please note that the spreadsheet has 2 pages which you can switch using the tabs at the bottom. The first page is statistics about users, and the second page is statistics specifically about moderation.

For those who don't have the time to read that, here is a brief overview (the spreadsheet has more detailed information):
>Total posts
27775
>Total reports
3165
>Unique posting IPs
8005
>Unique posting devices
5681
>% of posts that are by VPN users
13.4%
>Total bans
1248
>Total permanent bans
188
>Top 3 most common ban reasons
Derailing, infighting and lack of sage
>Top 3 most banned threads
The Celebricows thread, the Shayna/Dolly Mattel thread, and the Twitter/Tumblr Fandom Discourse Thread

Hellweek FAQs

>Why is blackpill posting outside of /2X/ considered bait?

Many anons who post blackpill opinions outside of /2X/ do it in a way that inevitably leads to accusations of them being male, dozens of reports, follow up infights etc. Whether or not they intended to start an infight, it still always causes one, so in the end it amounts to bait either way. Blackpill posts made in a way where it's clear they are earnestly held female opinions would not be considered bait, but instead of posts like that we get “all women who have hetsex are cockbreath whores”. Treating these posts as bait is based entirely on the response they generate rather than any opinion on blackpill feminism itself or a desire to censor it.

>During Hellweek, why did you ban users reporting other users as moids?

Please see our earlier post regarding this here >>68121
As we said in the original Hellweek thread:
>Reporting someone you disagree with for being a moid/tranny will receive a ban.
To reiterate, no plausible male accusation will receive a ban. We are not banning users for reporting posts that sound scrotelike (for example the blackpill posts mentioned above) or are otherwise breaking the rules even if they are not correct. The reports that we are taking action against are those that are either made in bad faith (to get back at users the reporter disagrees with) or are the result of unreasonable paranoia (we get many “moid/troon” reports on posts that are entirely benign, on topic and not breaking any rules, because of wrongthink or users thinking they don’t sound “female” enough).

>Why is accusing other users of being male bannable (troonfoiling/scrotefoiling)?

If you suspect that a poster is a scrote or a tranny, then you shouldn’t be responding to them in the first place. Men posting here are doing so to get a reaction, and replying to them just encourages them. As with all other forms of bait, we ask you to report and ignore. If the person you are responding to is a genuine board user, you’re causing an infight for no reason based on your incorrect feeling that a woman cannot post that way. There is no good outcome of making posts accusing other anons of being male.

>Are you planning to remove any offtopic boards (/g/, /m/, /ot/)?

We have no intention of closing any of the offtopic boards. While we believe that the primary reason this site exists is to document/discuss lolcows, we also acknowledge the importance of an anonymous and male-free space for women to socialize and we have no intention of removing that. We simply do not want the site to be driven by users who are here exclusively for those spaces.

>Why are you targeting the Dumbass Shit thread specifically?

The primary issue with the Dumbass Shit Thread from our perspective is the dedicated users that it attracts who refuse to integrate when they post outside the thread. Many of the obvious instances of newfaggotry, lack of integration and bait are made by posters who have 80% of their posts in Dumbass Shit. Frequently these users continue posting like they’re in the thread when they do venture out, leading to infights/reports/complaints from other users. We don’t really feel like these specific users belong on the site (especially because they continually refuse to integrate despite warnings/bans) but they ban evade and continue to come back. Obviously not everyone who uses the thread falls into that category and we understand that many users want a place to shitpost, which is why we decided to lower the posting quality requirements in that thread and autosage it rather than remove it. If we actually wanted to kill it, we’d ban the topic/remove the thread.

>Why aren’t you closing other threads that have worse cases of infighting/bait etc.?

Dumbass Shit isn’t closed, it’s autosaged. The users can continue to make new threads as it fills up and use those threads however they like (with the exception of serious rule breaking). As for why other threads are not locked or autosaged, we have discussed as a team whether or not to close the worst offenders (e.g. Unpopular Opinions) and we’re still keeping an eye on it. We aren’t ruling out closing them in the near future if things do not improve.

>Doing X thing will reduce traffic to the site!

Increasing traffic is not necessarily a good thing; we would prefer quality over quantity when it comes to site users. Driving away anons who refuse to integrate and do not contribute in a meaningful way is something we would actively prefer over being flooded with tourists and low quality posters. Of course we want the site to grow, but only if it’s in the right direction.

>Why aren’t you allowing the posting of general grievances in TIM/TIF etc. threads when they were allowed previously?

Threads on /snow/ were never really supposed to be used that way, and blogposting about personal experiences and grievances should always have been bannable. We acknowledge that the TIM and TIF threads are different to typical cow threads in that they don’t follow a handful of individuals in close detail, but the /snow/ rules about blogposting/derailing remain the same. We’re currently discussing potential solutions for handling the more “general” threads like these. For now we ask that you use the /2X/ thread for general trans venting, or create a new thread in /ot/ if needed.

>Why did you extend Hellweek? Was Hellweek effective?

We extended Hellweek because there were still a lot of rule breaking posts in the areas we were targeting (racebaiting and infighting in particular) being made towards the end of the first week and we felt that more time with both users and farmhands being extra vigilant would be beneficial. As for whether it has been effective, we believe that it has. In a few weeks when we have more data, we’d like to do a comparison of some statistics regarding posts/bans/reports etc. before and after Hellweek, to see if there is a measurable difference. We’ll report these statistics in /meta/ once we have them.

>Will there be more Hellweeks in the future?

Yes, we intend to have more Hellweeks throughout the year as needed.

>Why don’t you ban the use of VPNs?

The main reason is that we think that VPNs are an essential tool for ensuring your personal privacy and we do not want to take that option away from users, especially in a time when some of the discussions that are common here (e.g. expressing gender critical views) are potentially criminal in some countries.

>Are we having a townhall?

While we understand why users ask for townhalls, we have some hesitations regarding using them for important communication with users. Requiring users to be somewhere at a specific time to participate in a discussion isn’t ideal. No matter what time we pick, there will be a significant number of users who cannot make it due to having commitments, or it clashing with their timezone. As you can see from the statistics we posted, just under 50% of posters are in the USA, so if we picked a time convenient to US users, it wouldn’t suit the other 50%. Secondly, the users who make the time to attend may not be a representative sample of the users of the site in general. Using /meta/ as an example: while 5681 devices posted during Hellweek, only 494 of those devices made posts on /meta/, and Hellweek is a much busier time for /meta/ than otherwise. Relying on /meta/ posters alone to gauge the thoughts/needs of the entire user base would not be accurate for that reason. Finally, posts made on Cytube or elsewhere are not permanent. Users who miss them cannot go back and read them. We’d rather have the discussions here, where they can be archived and viewed at any time by both current and future users. While we are not ruling out having one in the future, we don’t have any plans for one at the moment.

>Are twitter/tiktok terms and behaviors (e.g. self-cens*ring) bannable?

When used in a way that signals lack of integration, yes, absolutely, please report them! The language used on this board has and will continue to change over time, but language that clearly signals a poster is a tourist is bannable.

>Why haven’t you banned/redtexted X, Y, Z post?

Generally, if a rulebreaking post has not been redtexted yet, either: a farmhand has not gotten to the report yet, it hasn’t been reported so we haven’t seen it, or the poster was banned for another post so that particular post was not redtexted. Generally it’s one redtext per ban, so if a user went and made 5 rule breaking posts in 5 different threads, only one of them would get redtexted because that user will get one long ban for their posts rather than 5 separate ones. In the past a lot of bans were just not redtexted at all, as that was a policy of previous admins. We have encouraged redtexting bans more frequently as we believe it increases transparency (even if it does make threads uglier/less welcoming).

>Why did it take you so long to post this?

Some of the statistics took more time to collate than others, and during the last week the admins have had conflicting schedules so they didn’t have time to sit down and go through these questions in detail together until now. We have also been discussing potential changes to the site with the senior members of staff, which has taken some time.

Upcoming Changes

We are still discussing some changes internally before suggesting them to users. In particular, these are changes regarding the more general gossip/milk threads such as the TIM/TIF threads and Celebricows (among others) that don't necessarily filt the mold of /snow/. We'll make a separate thread in the future to discuss those proposed changes once we are done considering them internally. We didn't want to delay releasing these results any further while we continued discussing those issues!

The changes that we intend to make are as follows:


We want the moderation process to be more transparent and consistent, so we are going to work on the following changes:
>Changes to internal moderation guidelines to make the most subjective ban reasons (e.g. derailing, off topic) more objective
>Making it possible for farmhands to respond to ban appeals with clarification (if needed), and shorten bans. As it is, it is not possible to reply to users and ban appeals can only be rejected or accepted, and there are occasions where shortening a ban would have been more appropriate than accepting/rejecting the appeal outright
>Posting site statistics more frequently, potentially having a page dedicated to showing live statistics

Make the site more user friendly, particularly for users who follow slow or autosaged threads:
>Make the catalog more performant, and add features such as the ability to search it
>Add the ability to pin/follow threads

No. 71241

>Finally, posts made on Cytube or elsewhere are not permanent. Users who miss them cannot go back and read them.

Yes fucking thank you mods. I still dont understand why you dont move celebricows back to /snow/ though, all the problems in /ot/ started after that hellish thread was move. Normalfag celebrity spergs(who are almost always anachan lookspergs) don't mix well with the otherwise more chill ''radfem'' and weeby side of /ot/. Also, it's called 'celebricows', it obviously doesn't belong on /ot/.

Thank you admins for delivering and posting the stats and proposed updates.

As much as improving the catalog and adding pinning options is welcome, I second the request to create an /img/ to get all the image dump off of /m/. I know /m/ is a slow board but it deserves to be well maintained and usable. Pinning will not solve the issue that the board is messy and spammy and generally unpleasant to use. How will one find new threads created there? Very few threads are created on /m/ compared to before the picspam became untenable. Restoring its attractiveness and usability will get a lot of people out of /ot/ that shouldn't be there, like a lot of the retards fighting in fandom drama.

A suggestion would be to make an official grease monkey extension specifically for LC. It may be easier to implement than wrestling with LC's aging IB software. It's been years since I used 4chan but I remember these features being included in 4chanX.

>Make the catalog more performant, and add features such as the ability to search it
>Add the ability to pin/follow threads
Fantastic. Thank you
However, regarding the following points, I’m not convinced cerbmin is adequately addressing the real issues here:
>The primary issue with the Dumbass Shit Thread from our perspective is the dedicated users that it attracts who refuse to integrate when they post outside the thread
Do you have any way to verify this? I have a hard time believing that anyone from twitter or tiktok is coming to this site specifically to post in the dumbass shit thread. When I saw the twitterfag accusations first being thrown around after dumbass shit was first locked during hellweek, I searched for “lolcow.farm” on both twitter and tiktok to see if anyone had name-dropped it recently. however, I found that there were barely any mentions of it at all. of course, it’s obvious that we do have anons here that use twitter speech and need to integrate better, but it isn’t 2014 when most internet users stuck mainly to one or two social media platforms. I think the average internet user today user browses most social media platforms, on occasion. rather than coming here directly from twitter or tiktok, I think most newfags find this site by googling cows, as I assume it’s always been post-cgl migration. therefore, I think the correlation between dumbass shit thread and newfags is vastly overstated and probably just wrong. we should be focusing on quality posting on cow boards instead. One way to do this is to reintegrate /w/ into /snow/, as /w/ has become a milkless cesspool of nitpicking and cows self-posting.
>As for whether [hellweek] has been effective, we believe that it has. In a few weeks when we have more data, we’d like to do a comparison of some statistics regarding posts/bans/reports etc. before and after Hellweek, to see if there is a measurable difference. We’ll report these statistics in /meta/ once we have them.
I’m entirely unconvinced that hellweek has been effective because I, and many other anons, it seems, have noticed a stark decline post-hellweek. I’ll wait for the update, as maybe you can prove otherwise, but I’m worried farmhands are willfully ignoring how they’ve contributed to the decline of this site and overselling their positive contributions in the last month or so

No. 71265

>Unique posting IPs: 8005

Am I the only one who feels like this can’t possibly be right? All boards are slower than they ever have been, and I am constantly running into anons I’ve previously talked to on other boards, and it feels more than ever like there’s less than like 50 people maximum posting regularly. I could make myself believe anything up to maybe 300 separate posters, but 8,000 just does not compute for me. I’m not accusing cerbmin of lying or anything, I just genuinely can’t wrap my mind around how this could be true. Is this because of baiters serially changing VPNs I wonder?

No. 71266

>>71265
Especially for phoneposters, anons can have many different IP addresses just by connecting to a different wifi, so this is a poor measure of counting the number of active users. However, even if there were 8,000, that is actually a pretty small amount. Most users probably aren’t refreshing boards all day, but dropping in to lurk a bit, make a post or two, and leave

No. 71267

>>71265
Unique IPs does not mean unique users. The majority of IPs are dynamic so a user may be posting with multiple IPs without realising it. Device ID is more accurate but even then one user can post with multiple devices.

No. 71268

>>71266
>>71265
Considering there's 5.6k unique devices and a lot of regular users use two devices I'd say there's probably around 4k posters or less. That number makes sense imo.

No. 71269

Cerbmin I have a suggestion. Could we put up a gofundme to buy one of the /g/ farmhands a webinar course for autistic people about on how to understand when people are making a joke? I jest, but she really has a problem with that and keeps labeling obvious jokes as bait/infighting, so I agree with your decision to make those bans follow more criteria.

No. 71271

>>71268
This seems like a fair estimate, and it’s honestly concerning. I don’t disagree with cerbmin that we don’t want to expand in the wrong direction, but it feels like we’re losing anons every day, and it’s not necessarily newfags leaving. So many oldfags have already left because they’re sick of what the farm has become. We do need to expand the userbase of this site if we want it to survive

>This seems like a fair estimate, and it’s honestly concerning.
I wish we could compare it to previous data, but I doubt it had been logged properly since the past few admins were doing a very lackluster job in general. I feel like we definitely peaked during the pandemic for obvious reasons. The bunker threads on cc went by crazy fast and when you think about it only a fraction of the lc population probably even knew about those threads.
I'm a bit torn on the population topic, on one hand I wouldn't mind lc becoming a tad more niche but generally well behaved and comfortable, on the other hand I wouldn't mind a more chaotic and active imageboard but I feel like that would get tiring fast.

Unpopular opinion but I think /w/ should stay. Worst board but I don't see how combining it with /snow/ would make it better. The pixielocks thread is the highlight of it and the way it is now is better than having to constantly scroll through other /snow/ threads and finding it. I like opening /w/ and always seeing it there. Pixielocks anons are like their own type of community.
It also has important /cgl/ legacy cows like Dakota and Venus in it.
>>71288
I think if Town Halls were scheduled more frequently, the problem that they describe wouldn't be so bad, the responses would be immediate on both ends vs a bunch of anons complaining and never getting an answer and baiting on /meta/. The movie night girls schedule their cytube pretty well for example.
>>71255
I agree with creating that /img/ board for image dumping and letting /m/ be its own beast, though I'm scared that /img/ might be too desolate. One other suggestion I have is to create another board for community focused drama instead of individuals and take a lot of that type of threads, specially the ones in /ot/, over there. I would love to see /com/ becoming a reality and it has great potential to grow.

Combining /w/ with /snow/ would be beneficial because low-quality threads would be drowned out. I understand not wanting to see the retards of /w/ in /snow/, but hopefully the ability to pin threads would circumvent this issue. I just don’t see the value of keeping such a shitty, outdated board like /w/. Another anon somewhere in /meta/ mentioned that if we merge /w/ and /snow/ and add /img/, we’ll still have the same number of boards that would offer more organized and quality posting

No. 71307

You would also need to take in account that the anons on /w/ and /snow/ feel different now, like twin sisters but with a bit of different personalities. One is an edgy egirl camwhore, the other is slow and has autism. I'd even say that most /w/ cows are not offensive at all if you compare it to tradthots and troons. /w/ is the retarded-chan part of the gossip imageboard family (if you don't count /shay/) but I think it's still necessary. Like an anon above mentioned, it would make linking old threads pretty hellish if we don't keep it.

These descriptions fully made me laugh out loud. Such an honest and true descriptions. I agree with you and >>71297, I think /w should stay a different board because the culture of /w is really different. /w is the board I post the most on, when I browse /pt or /snow I very rarely post. No hate to the snow/pt posters, I love reading their stuff, but I just don't feel like I ever have anything to say or add when compared to my /w threads.

This is poor logic especially since the community has become more trad and pickme infested as time has gone on. There's a reason why 2x is dead except for the tranny threads. Because people here have a reached a consensus of hatred towards tranny and gay males but not their nigels, nigels are not like other males. You're effectively allowing retards to vet others which will inevitably be the tyranny of the majority which are pickmes and trads now. This is a bias whether you want to acknowledge it or not. Nigel and moid friendly discussions are not censored, why are moid critical discussions flagged as 'derailing?'.

Why would it be desolate? On the contrary, having its own board would actually allow it space to grow. As things stand now the picspam threads compete for viable real estate with both /g/ and /m/ discussion threads, picspam only slightly behind in /g/ as compared to /m/ because of the bottomless need of nonnies for relationship advice. Having its own board for picpspam (that includes "attractive/unattractive X men/women I would/would not fuck" and "ugly-actor-fagging n. 45") would refresh /m/, give it back its space as a media board, and encourage curious new nonnies to explore /img/ and create new types of picspam threads. Archive links wouldn't be an issue as they could just link back to /m/, same as moved threads do now.

your stats for #2 are going to be skewed by the way certain boards were already moderated to death or extremely slow. The solution is not to kill off cow boards or threads. This site is for cows.

It would be nice to see discussion of cows allowed instead of everything getting banned for "tinfoil" or 'nitpicking" - this has truly ruined the spirit of the site. Actual tinfoil is speculating that Kiki works the streets as a prostitute or Venus is secretly enrolled at Harvard: there's no basis at all to say these things. Speculating about how Venus damaged her teeth or how a cow (like Kiki or Stef) does make money in a reasonable way based on what they themselves hint at… is not tinfoil. It's discussion.

Discussing a cow's content is not nitpicking. Discussing clothing or design (which anyone can change as long as they aren't dirt poor) is the furthest thing from nitpicking. It was the basis of /cgl/ and this needs to change or you'll never have a userbase that enjoys discussing cows and works to police itself.

Here's another strange example of overmoderation: the large # of bans in the new book/author cow thread in /snow. That's a great new thread, with milk that continues to flow. Many of the so-called derailing bans were anons sharing background to these publishing companies or the ways these glorified x-rated fanfic authors get book deals and promote themselves. There were bans for discussing the way they market porny writing to young teens with cutesy cover art, bans for talking about how their characters end up in degrading sexual situations with zero warning about this in the promo. I didn't post a single time in that thread but it was a breath of fresh air in /snow/, it has good anons in it, it's not attacking people for their looks… so why are you moderating it to death? That's a genuine question. I won't sit here and defend every post but I commend the anons who continued to post despite getting so many unwarranted bans. Your discussions were/are interesting and entertaining. I can't understand the farmhand trying to curb discussion of fresh milk in that thread, of all threads.

it's not going to be shewed by the speed of the board. i never said to kill off the cow boards? i agree that the shay thread janny was a nazi, but /ot/ and /g/ were also over-moderated with a rogue aspergers mod constantly banning obvious jokes as bait/infighting

it's worth noting how almost of a quarter of /ot/ bans came from celebricows. from its conception, celebricows has always been a problem thread that attracted unintegrated users, infighting, and nit-picking. it couldn't even exist in the correct board because its users couldn't navigate to it. i assume it's essentially a black hole because of that.

No. 71353

>>71347
Agree with everything you said about authorcows. 99% of the bans in there make no sense and actually killed its momentum a bit. There's been a big issue of farmhands banning any discussion of "the wider context" instead of "cows" - but the cow exists inside an environment and social context, talking about it is not derailing or offtopic. It's like they want users to only discuss the cows' looks or intelligence - which ironically is also nitpicking now. Get a grip.

No. 71354

>>71352
It catches the most bans because it's one of the most active threads on this website if not the most active. There's nothing wrong with the topic or thread placement itself and it's proven by the fact celebricows has been here for years.

This is a wild request from my part, but there are image boards out there that allow more than one picture to be posted in a single post.

>We don’t really feel like these specific users belong on the site (especially because they continually refuse to integrate despite warnings/bans) but they ban evade and continue to come back.
Then you're just going to end up having to autosage every thread that unintegrated newfags and undesirables latch onto even when many regular anons use them. It's not a long-term solution and will unlikely make the worst offenders go away, they'll just go to the next remotely similar thread and shit that one up. A better solution would be to improve on ways that make ban evasion harder (aka banning vpns or at least making device-based bans possible).

>As for why other threads are not locked or autosaged, we have discussed as a team whether or not to close the worst offenders (e.g. Unpopular Opinions)

I remember when cerbmin introduced themselves and said they'd let users vote on important decisions..

>Relying on /meta/ posters alone to gauge the thoughts/needs of the entire user base would not be accurate for that reason.

But thank god you see it like that.

>The main reason is that we think that VPNs are an essential tool for ensuring your personal privacy and we do not want to take that option away from users, especially in a time when some of the discussions that are common here (e.g. expressing gender critical views) are potentially criminal in some countries.

I understand that in theory but in reality, who else gets to see IPs besides the staff? Nevermind IPs just give vague locations that can be several kilometers apart, not the exact place we live in. Literally all other imageboards have heaps of much worse material posted on them by the daily without any repercussions (unless moids start shooting up places), so how likely is it really that law enforcement will bust our doors open for making fun of trannies? How many of us truly use vpns because they absolutely can't browse here otherwise? This is where votings could help..
It doesn't even have to be all vpns. I bet just doing something about free VPNs/proxies would be an improvement, so the people constantly shitting up lolcow at least have to pay for it.

I don't have a good feeling about bringing back pp and gc, extremely unpopular opinion and I'm surely going to get called a pussy for it but even though they deserve slander, having the most active board displaying explicitly negative, confrontational sentiments towards trannies/moids doesn't sound like a good idea, I don't want another gore raid in the middle of the thread again and I don't know why I am the only one considering that liability

i've never really used this thread since it's never interested me but, could we have a hidden board like what happened with /shay/ for some of the threads which attract a lot of inter-user aggression? that way anons won't feel quite as alienated if these threads do get closed? i feel like the issue isn't the threads themselves but the people who go into them, specifically to bully/terrorize anons for having unpopular opinions. they weren't always like this…i remember people went in those threads to have fun mostly and say silly stuff. then it turned into this whole infighting central. it comes off like tourism from reddit, since that's an issue over there with their own unpopular opinion subreddit. i don't really get why people do this but for the anons who do abide by the rules, i think they deserve at least a little something, i guess?

i don't disagree, although i'd expect the chat boards to naturally accommodate specific types of bans, balancing the distribution some more. especially since some of the most popular threads in /ot/ are inherently contentious. but the context is that admin attributed the site-wide decline in post quality to the chat boards (…or whatever term you'd prefer, i guess?). >>67909 makes the hellweek seem specifically centered around targeting contributions from chat boards.

This group of posters or I suspect a single poster will complain that tradthots are taking over LC when I have never seen anything that I would regard as tradthot being posted here. It seems insane until you understand how this person thinks. They regard anything that tradthots may do as being tradthot even if it's a normal non-tradthot activity

Examples
>Anons discussing cooking in a food thread
Tradthots believe they should cook food for their husband so anyone that talks about cooking is a tradthot
>Anons discussing growing vegetables in a gardening thread
Tradthots believe in homesteading so anyone growing their own food is a tradthot
>Anons discussing sewing or knitting in a crafting thread
Tradthots believe they need to sew up the crotch of their husband's pants and darn his socks so anyone that likes crafting is a tradthot
>Anons discussing heterosexual relationships
Tradthots believe they should marry men so anyone in a heterosexual relationship is a tradthot

If it wasn't for the constant whining about tradthots on LC I wouldn't even know what a tradthot is. I've never seen one IRL and this is the only place on the internet that I'm ever exposed to them.

No. 71482

>>71472
This is a huge strawman that is really incoherent. Talking about cooking doesn’t make you a tradthot. Trying to defend babyposting when really no parent should be chronically online, whether it is the mother or father is irrelevant. The bottom line; go take care of your child. I am 21 years old and I turned out like absolute shit because my dad spent 17 years of my life sitting in front of his computer, and a lot of parents today don’t realize how easy it is to neglect your child through your lack of attention span.

If you decide to make monthly stats, I'd be one of the avid readers; I'm like the nonna that asked for stats and charts in the hellweek thread, I love stats. There's never enough IRL stats not talking about the faked survey ones they do for elections and shit, those suck

It feels very hand-holdy to have to gather around every time and be like “no anon, YNTA, go get a divorce.” It’s just exhausting imo, I don’t come to lolcow to counsel handmaiden-tier (I’m sorry, not trying to be mean, but it’s true) married women on their marital problems.

You retards complaining about mothers as if they were this religious-like entities are fucking funny. I'm not having kids myself ever and they've never bothered me, I rather have them with their non offensive mommy advice posts than a million TikTok zoomers posting their retard cringe shit as if threads were discord chats. You have a weird fixation with them, maybe the people complaining are immature and haven't entered the mental age when they start seeing women with kids as people. Or it's just some overt antinatalist bullshit again. You being "concerned" about the kids is a fucking fake ass excuse because asking for advice in a thread takes like 10 minutes AT MOST, but then you rather have them using some scrote tranny infested website like reddit? I thought you wanted to "help women" etc. Anons of all ages will use this site, specially older than 25, and so far the mommy posters are not breaking the rules. Ignore their fucking posts.

The anon saying that is a baiting retard. However I do think that the uptick in reddit-like husband and child posting is mildly annoying and I am side eyeing them every time they choose to post about the most boring and sad shit imaginable. Just because you are married or have a baby doesn’t mean you need to post about it all the time on lolcow.farm, thats not really the point or audience of this site and it’s never going to be received well except by fellow mothers at which point just download Peanut and make mom friends

No. 71518

How is it annoying? Generally they just stick to advice threads and those threads have always had people with husbands in it. Just ignore those posts, close the window, close your eyes, turn off the computer. It's not a big deal, it's not like they're asking for your specific advice anon. People who want to reply will reply, like, I just don't get it. It's not annoying to me, but maybe I'm more used to being patient with women despite not being very social myself.

Like, I get it if it's hard to socialize and empathize with women, but I'm a loner that might not even marry in the future and those posts have never stood out to me. I wonder what the true issue with anons not liking those posters is. This is genuine curiosity. Like, if you had a husband you would also vent I think that's how I see it.

I couldn't give a damn about trad natalists whatever nor about vehement nihilistic anti-trad anti-natalists whatever, going on one's merry way to what one enjoys online makes things absolutely easier.

Like are we for real right now. I’m not even saying it should be banned (even though in my ideal world it would be kek, just like all other posts I find annoying) I’m just commenting on a change on the site I have observed and that, again, mildly annoys me.

Where are you anons seeing all these parenting posts? Is it in the baby talk threads on /g/ that have been around for years? You can hide that thread.

It doesn’t make someone trad for being sexually attracted to men, but I do think it’s funny this has gotten you guys into a tizzy especially since other anons have said they pretend to be lesbians on here to get better advice.

I didn’t want mommyposting on here and still don’t but now I do out of spite. How retarded are you? Are you 15? Men’s spaces are never treated like this, you have moids acting like idiots after 40 but every woman after 25 is a “mommy”. I hate being a zoomer and I wonder what the fuck you’re all going to act like in a couple of years when you’re “old” (ie not a child).

No. 71594

I don't see the mommy posters complaining in this thread though, I see a bunch of anti mommy posters hating on them for no reason. And anons defending the mommies, but not mommies themselves.
"If mommies can't talk about husbands then husbandofags shouldn't either" I wish I could say that to show how ridiculous it all looks but I don't really think like this. I just think there's some weird people itt that perhaps are taking the husband havers too seriously. And it checks out with how many more extreme husbandofags we have. But I just think both can coexist if everyone just ignores each other and keeps to themselves.
In any case this is so fucking tiring, no one cares please. This is the hellweek thread not the mommy hating thread for gods sake.

Oldfag posters are obviously growing older irl too, which implies settling down with a stable job, partner and family. Why are anons acting all flabbergasted? Get off the internet for a hot second and look at your peers, or since you're probably 18-20, look at people that are 5-10 years older than you, are there no mothers among them? I'm so confused as to why anons are confused about this, it's not rocket science.

we've always had a few anons on here over the years who were married and had kids. it's never been something that most people even mentioned or really seemed to care much about until now. i don't really have a bone to pick on this anyway, this is just a general observation since i've been watching the discussion on the mom poster thing since that one anon mentioned it. at the core of the issue with the site is a generational problem that is continually brought up here but never properly addressed. yes, there are older users on here, including myself, who are over the age of 25. we're the reason why this board even exists in the first place, lol.

some of the younger users appear to have a kind of mental aversion to the idea of posting with people who are older than them, which is both ridiculous and bizarre since we're all eventually going to get old, including the younger farmers. it seems like every over month we have some new fangled reason for why the younger posters don't want to deal with oldfags or why you guys don't like them and it's exhausting dealing with the immaturity and childishness. i'm not going to go through all those different reasons, but at some point you guys need to stop trying to control and police every user on this board. just enjoy lolcow for what it is and stop freaking out about every little thing that you aren't doing which other anons are. maybe you too will eventually pop out a couple of crotch goblins or get married to a nigel when you're in your late 20's or early 30's, it isn't the end of the world. i don't want to be rude or mean since no one deserves that but seriously, some of you need to live a little more and be a lot less anal about every little thing that doesn't always affect you personally.

This. This mentality is all over the internet too, specially around fandom spaces and TikTok zoomers.
It makes sense then that a lot of threads are now focused on fandom and TikTok. The zoomers are here. And that's ok, if they only knew how share the space with the rest of the population.

This is a straw man argument. Not liking uncontained baby posts and husband rants does not equal hating people over 25 unless you think all women over 25 should be getting married and becoming mothers and taking to lolcow to post about their husband’s dumb shit behavior and then refusing to take any advice and fighting with people to defend their nigel. There are plenty of oldfags and over 25ers (I am one of them as of this year) who don’t have a pet moid and children, and there are even those who do that somehow manage to continue to act normally and keep their baby and Nigel shit in the respective /g/ threads.
Now we literally have mothers with postpartum psychosis venting about wanting to hurt their babies in the vent thread and others complaining about hating their in laws that may as well be copy pasted from Reddit and one retard who posts almost every day about “ZOMGGGG I am having pregnancy cravings for Aburi sushi! Aburi sushi guise!” that always devolves into infighting about eating fish while pregnant and I’m sorry. I’m so sorry but it’s wearing me out.

Admin and the rest of the staff generally refrain from banning in /meta/ unless it's especially egregious as admin has said before, as we like to give the space for people to post freely about complaints and other issues. However, please pack it up as this thread has been completely derailed from it's intended use. Posting about mommy/trad/zoomer/baby baiting fights here is unrelated to what the purpose of this thread was all about. If you have generic complaints about banning practices, please use the complaints thread.

And why would you want to split up /ot/ anyway?

Compared to /m/, /ot/ is in no way unusuable because of these so-called community threads. They're actually the minority on /ot/. On the other hand, image dump threads are choking any other type of /m/ thread that isn't an image dump. Case in point, another image dump thread just got moved there from /ot/ so it can take up even more space.

There is no such case in /ot/. "Community" threads are perfectly usable and always on the front page.

What problem are you even trying to solve? If it's about organising thread topics, I second the anon who said that even if things appear to be more organized, splitting boards just reduces traffic. Do you wanna kill off /ot/ too?

It's not that I hate community threads, that's not true at all.

I just think we have enough threads in /ot/ and the range is so wide and vast, that I wonder when the off topic label will be enough for everything, you know? if some threads are more on topic with other drama boards, maybe there's something worth looking into there.

This thread is about site wide discussion and stats is it not? The pettiness of derails is annoying but don't censor and shut down discussion on yet another contentious issue because of a personal hang up. It should be your responsibility to reveal the samefags that feed the derail or allow this discussion to continue as it gained enough presumably genuine traction. Apparently this is a contentious issue amongst the community that is being discussed, is that not the purpose of this thread and meta in general? Unless the majority of those posts are samefags. Then you've only allowed derailing on one side. Also, did anyone ever respond to that one anon that asked if it was possible to upload multiple images at once? If you make complaints in the Complaints thread it is dead radio silence and this thread is one of the only ones that gets any responses.

That's news stories that fuck with you which already exists in /ot/ lel. The original manhate/pinkpill thread was image dumping combined with anecdotes.

I think the culture of lolcow changed yet again when newer husbandofags started getting too comfortable over sharing stuff about their anime husbands and stuff. Most husbandofags kept to themselves before this shift. I remember a time when this wasn't as widely discussed, now most threads on /ot/ have at least a bit of husbandofaggotry in them, specially art salt and fandom drama. I see them bumped almost constantly. This new wave of husbandofags are also oddly very defensive and combative, I'm not surprised they would flock like this to an imageboard since imageboards tend to attract more "out there" people, and while they don't bother me personally I can tell something has changed. Maybe this is why we need an /m/ reform too

Maybe the fandom drama dicussion shouldn't be centralized in one general /ot/ thread? Most posts in there should just stay in each respective /m/ thread for that media. lolcow is full of low functioning autists who throw spergfests over any difference in taste so reasonable discussion is always drowned in a sea of "stop liking what I dislike"/"stop disliking what I like" shitflinging. There's also the exact same issue of overpoliticizing fandom and black and white thinking that exists on tumblr and twitter that anons like to pretend they're so above it. Most posters in that thread are very obvious underage autists from tumblr/tiktok/twitter anonymously pointing fingers at other underage autists on the same platforms.

>>71868
I wonder if things would improve if /ot/ if not the whole site got more of an overhaul? On one hand I do understand being frustrated with topicless chatroom threads taking up the majority of /ot/ and everything being reduced to "the big six", but anons do want to discuss random stuff that does not always fit in a current active thread. Just my opinion here, but I personally think we could use to give up on dumbass shit and also stupid questions or unpopular opinions etc. as Big Threads in favour of smaller, more contained, more specific threads. Is there a way to set thread post limits separate per board? I don't see why the average /ot/ thread should have any more than 500 posts at the very maximum. I also feel bigger and more generalized threads allow for infighting to go on for longer, I think it would be easier to manage smaller threads. I also think threads that reach their limit should be automatically locked (not just autosaged), and definitely do get rid of the "thread has reached 1100 replies" message. It can be useful for cow threads to have the time to compile the next thread so anons can jump right to it when the previous one is full, but for non-cow threads it's very pointless and only creates more confusion. We also do definitely need to archive the locked threads somwehere else, it would also make the catalog more usable I think. I'd like to hear others' thoughts as well?

No. 71871

>>71870
I think making the mods and farmhands spend so much time on /ot/ is part of why dumbass got locked and why they pushed a return to the purpose of the site which is documenting cows on the cow boards. /ot/ is supposed to just be for fun, keep the derailing to a minimum on cow boards, a little outlet for farmers to kill time while waiting for milk maybe.

Nta well it's not working since most cows are milkless now and /snow/ mods are starting to ban even normal, saged, non-derailing discussion on cows. It's a sad state that fucking shayna's thread is the most active one there and that's only because of shayfags cannibalizing each other

Do you also feel that the perception of milk has changed, for better or for worse? A lot of things that would have been considered inherently "cow behaviour" 10-15 years ago are like dime a dozen barely cringe, even more so as the internet and even nerdy/geeky/weeby shit has become downright mainstream. And there's also the fact that cowtipping used to be a lot more acceptable back then, a lot of certain cows' milk is pretty much forced through trolling. That kind of behaviour is more looked down upon nowadays.

Your mileage may vary, personally I think longer centralized threads give a social media feel that brings down the quality even further.

The usual scrotefoilers have now switched it up to accusing every anon they don't like a tradthot. These anons were never worried about moids being in their spaces, they just throw accusations because someone had an opinion they don't like or couldn't think of a better argument

For me the husbandofag stuff was funnier when it was lighthearted and nobody fought over whose husbando was superior, came from a better anime, or looked more handsome or kawaii etc because everyone understood that they were just a bunch of autists into 2D drawings and everyone was like "ok cool". But now everyone is the same as the Tumblr and TikTok types that fight over this shit and like, for what reason? Seriously. Everyone got along better when the retarded husbandofag thread started, then people got so defensive over time and husbandofags don't tolerate their own kind over very small stupid shit, let alone other posters.

They've gotten way, way too comfortable being horny on main after deciding it's actually super important radfem behavior to sperg about your fictional Nigel in every single thread and fight other anons over their fictional Nigels and who's the most girlbossest of them all liking the most based kind of cartoon scrote. And not only that, the fact that they view literally every form of media through the lens of self-inserting makes intelligent discussion next to impossible because they can't detach their head far enough to look at the bigger story and converse it as it is instead of some sick parasocial experience and taking everything way, way too personally because of it. The anon who said she genuinely doesn't understand how anyone would be interested in a story about a relationship they can't self insert into was really telling of the current state of the userbase.

No. 71948

>>71945
NTA but I think most anons are this hateful towards fictional men because ugly men get pushed a lot in media, and some are tired of it. If there wasn't such a push for dadbods and old men I don't think anons would give this much of a fuck about astarion. It's just them venting their frustations in the only place they won't get dogpilled by scrotes, TIFs and pickmes.

Jesus just make a containment thread so you don't have to shit up every single one around. I think ugly dadbod fictional moids are a disease and the astarionfags are insufferable but this discourse has to go. It always ends up in a huge infight going in circles that lasts for days in the worst case and spreads over to other threads when the ban evading spergs can't contain themselves. Like the fatefags vs enstarsfag, just how many threads did I see them duke it out in dodging bans left and right? I'd say 3 or 4.

No. 71980

It's not even about the complaining itself but the way it's so often brought up unwarranted from the context. There is a discussion to be had about double standards regarding attractive male vs female characters in both fictional media and real life but not by derailing from other points and infighting like a monkey throwing its doodoo. An example I've seen some threads ago
>lol @ aidens insisting Astarion is gay even though he's obviously player-sexual just because he's "faggy"
>but Astarion is so ugly
Even the yesterday infight in that thread was like that
>lol @ aidens trooning out to skinwalk their husbando (posts Yakuza character as example)
>but he's so ugly
OK, but what does that have to do with that previous post? Read the room. Are you autistic? And that's not even touching the anons sperging out on other anons having husbandos they don't personally find attractive.

Report and ignore. It's really simple. If the poster is a moid they will get banned. If the poster isn't a moid they will probably get banned for another reason such as baiting.

A moid post is not a excuse to have a epic based autistic feminist circlejerk that derails the thread and encourages moids to come back and get more attention.

I actually looked at the thread and that anon DID deserve a ban, but not for saying she needed a break.

It's not that simple because a fair share of anons now take those posts serious, argue with- and entertain these kind of posts as if they're women/actual farmers. Hence why you now have older farmers partly banned into pretending they're women(tradthots) and newfags who follow along with that.
And since we cop a ban for daring to speculate it's not written by a woman and thus can be taken with a grain of salt, moids/trannys can happily post their pol incel shit here, get all the attention they want, larp for 'gender euphoria' and derail threads. And IF they're banned after 7 hours of spewing their shit under the guise of "being a woman with a different opinion uwu", you know they're just going to ban evade and do the same thing all over again. It's so tiring.

No. 72308

Because scrotefoiling was banned for constantly causing infighting on /ot/, women are now pretending to be tradthots?
What the fuck are you even talking about?

>And since we cop a ban for daring to speculate

That's why it's banned because it's nothing but speculation. There is no way to know on an anonymous image board if the person you are talking to is actually a woman. You either accept it or you go and post somewhere like reddit or tumblr that has accounts and has a poster's gender and preferred pronouns listed in their profile. This has been explained multiple times by admins, farmhands and anons. It's impossible to guarantee that only women can post here because LC is an image board.

if the moderators want this imageboard to not become an environment where people come to bait the actual users they need to implement range bans and if anyone caught in the permabans wishes to post they can ask to have their IP whitelisted. the way this is being handled is pathetic and a waste of the jannies time since they just keep banning the same few people over and over.

I think they already talked about how they don't want to ban VPNs, but maybe they could increase the post time limit for those posting from VPNs? I.e., instead of the 30 second anti spam message it would be like a 30 minute cooldown. I think that would curb a lot of the bait, but I'm not sure if that's possible. I don't think banning phone posting is a good idea because a lot of people use their mobile phones to browse LC and engage with conversations, like me when I'm on the bus or train.

I know about the VPN decision and agree phone posting shouldn’t be banned. I’m just bringing up the point that I don’t think range bans would have much effect at all on ban evading bad faith baiters.

I think we need range bans or some other method for dealing with retards that continuously ban evade.

Samefag just to add that this is the third post within 10 minutes that the same baiter has made, at this point flaunting how easy ban evasion can be for certain retarded people (see picrel.) I think we need to seriously consider banning phone posting at this point or talking about ways we can fix this issue. I love using my phone to browse LC, and I'm sad to say that I think it'd be better to just ban phone browsing for a while until something better comes along. I'd much rather just wait until I got to a desktop to post things instead of getting the same barrage of bait from phone posters using private browsers.

Okay you don't have to be mean and call me retarded. I've not seen any statistics on how many users prefer to post on their cellphones or post on their desktop computers. I always assume more people are using desktops rather than cellphones. It's just an obvious fault in moderation style right now that so many ban evaders can have free rein and use private browsers on their phone to continue their antics. Maybe instead of banning phone posting we can increase the posting countdown for phones from 30 seconds to 3-5 minutes or something like that, just to discourage bait.

No. 72555

>>72552
I agree with you. Phoneposters have always been considered as posters that bring the quality of imageboards down, the advent of smartphones with easy internet access generally contributed to making the internet a worse place. The only reason why it's not talked about much anymore is because phoneposters became the majority everywhere, but it's still true. Maybe we would lose a portion of posters by implementing range bans, but they wouldn't be quality posters anyway. I believe 4chan still does range bans (at least they have in the past) but they can easily afford it due to the huge userbase, I'm not so sure how it would go for lc.

Range bans do more harm than good unless the ban evader is the only one posting from a certain range.

This is kind of a derail but it shows that most people on here were never on imageboards before automatic archives, which is not their fault for being born later but explains the confusion about phoneposters. Back in the day you were either there for a legendary thread or you missed out. You either sat at home on your computer shitposting on a thread that only lasted that night or you were out living in the world, you couldn't have both at the same time because we didn't have mobile internet access. Those active threads would eventually hit bump limit (meaning that they would get autosaged at the point where lolcow threads get an automated "make a new thread asap and link to it" message) and then fall off page 10 and be deleted forever. Phoneposters were outsiders because they were too anchored in the meatspace. I'm really nostalgic for those days, not because I'm against phoneposting but because the ephemeral nature of imageboards that made the chaos fun has gone away. You had the same retarded infights but they'd be like a hot flash in a pan and didn't stay archived for years on end for other anons to rekindle shit bait from 3 nights ago when anon was drunk.

samefag, but this was a vendetta ban because it was removed before i even realized i had been banned. why are janitors redtexting things that do not break the rules, deleting innocuous saged comments, and ignoring actual rule breaking/infighing/retarded comments? it pisses me off because i use these boards as a way to connect with other women while i'm in a place where i don't have any friends yet. having human connection means a lot, and i think it's dumb that so many posters are getting redtexted for not breaking rules. there are so many stupid ass comments/infighting that go for multiple threads and the people never get banned, but other posts are being deleted for zero reason and bans being handed out for zero reason. the reason i started coming here was because lolscenequeens was dead, efagz was dead, and this was the next place where we could laugh together about stupid cows and also share things. i met a good irl friend on efagz so i treasure the cow community. but the moderation lately is so stupid and is ruining the fun of just shooting the shit with other women about dumb things/cows which is the beauty of these communities

It's sad nona. It's hard too, because you'll probably never get an answer, or someone will come infight with you. But I feel the same and have gotten vendettabanned recently. I was going to post about it after it expired, but whatever. I typed it up and then just closed the window and went back to working on my own shit. We should probably document when it happens, because it is an abuse of mod powers to vendettaban people who have criticisms of moderation, and especially so by hunting for some BS post to ban them for. I don't use a VPN so it's not the VPN.

Cue the anon who comes in to tell us every ban is deserved. It's like that song "every sperm is sacred." It used to be ok to express opinions without getting banned or insulted/told you're lying.

I hope you can connect with more people, nona. But I hope you keep posting in your favorite threads and keking along. We all need to support each other, this world sucks and it won't get any better unless we support each other.

Anon it's common knowledge that threads need to be bumped to keep discussion and interest. That's why sometimes threads (in the off topic boards) need to be necrod.

Sanefag, but hell you would also think they would do more to control the insights that go on for hours in /meta/ if it was about cutting back on autism. Or even do something about shayfags, but instead the admins encouraged their autism and newfaggotry.

To be frank, I don't have a problem with the dumbass shit thread getting autosaged. I have a problem with the fact that they are being inconsistent with how they're choosing to handle threads.

If someone says something super outrageous like "women deserve to be raped" but in a subtler not very apparent bait-y way or whatever and nobody can reply to it will only become a way to troll this website even harder, and if only people who agree reply to that opinion can reply to say "all women should be raped, become trad and have 4 babies" it will make it so it will look like the site's culture has changed into woman hating trad life central. People keep replying to bait but the problem are the baiters themselves, if you make it so no one replies then moderation will have to be stricter and never take their eyes off the thread

I would agree with the no reply rule, but it has to be that no one, not even people who agree, could reply. But it will become troll central very fast

might as well lock unpop opinions anyway. we have a bilion chat threads already and that one is bait central

They've said before that just because someone have moid views doesn't make them a moid and they can have ugly opinions.

sorry you're right the racism is fine because the person posting it may be a woman

Why do you do this? Pretending someone said one thing is okay while another is bad? That is not what was said at all.

avatarfagging is bad and is rightfully banned tho.

There's a lot more of racism lately, and I wish those posts would be deleted off the website.

I agree but it's funny seeing how quickly the former gets redtexted in comparison to the latter. Thanks farmhands for taking care of it in the end though.

I really don't think the dumbass and retarded shitpost threads are gone forever, I think next time there's an update admin will talk about it. Maybe even remove the autosage. Like, even I miss those threads too. I just fear the newfags will come back and shit the thread.

The unpopular opinions thread though, I'm not sure if it will stay. Maybe of it's gone the site will improve but then if we bring back the dumbass thread at the same time, people who come specifically to bait on there will switch to dumbass and it'll be a lose lose situation. What do you think should/will happen? I wonder to be honest

You're making a diary entry musing about nothing, and unpopular opinions isnt even down or autosaged

No. 73384

by that logic every post in this thread is musing about nothing. it's a discussion thread.

No. 73387

can a farmhand get back to me on why the posts the schizophrenic pedo tranny makes don't get deleted anymore? he's basically announcing himself in the /meta/ complaints and suggestions thread and his posts are not even redtexted let alone deleted, his posts were left up without redtext as well last time he was obviously posting in /meta/. it's extremely off-putting that a lunatic scrote who raids sites with cp is allowed to freely post here.

This. Since ban evading is very easy, Cerbmin should delete his posts.

I agree. And because we have so many newfags, they keep biting his retarded bait because they don’t know how to clock him yet. The debacle after the dumbass shit autosage was ridiculous and I get the sense farmhands like to let him run free because he argues for them and shits up the thread to drown out any valid complaints.

"Dulling down" the site of prostitution admittal and truly pathetic public humiliation behavior in women. I don't want to hear about other womens public humiliation kinks in /ot/ I'm tired of it popping up everywhere online. /ot/ aside from a few threads that have uses in building skills and interests like the art and employment ones for example is an embarrassment. It's a stomping ground for pathetic pickme discussions, moid teet suckling and relationship advice 2.0 venting and confessions. The shit posting wasn't even the bad thing about dumbass shit and /ot/. You've still got unpop opinions, the vent thread confessions and other public humiliation threads that you can use. Also nearly all of /g/ kek since this shit is never contained to one board. I find it bizarre to say the least that some of the userbase here will gladly mock some camwhore on /snow/ but than freely admit to engaging in prostitution and pathetic moid teet suckling complaining about how their moid mistreats them.

>just because someone have moid views doesn't make them a moid
lol that's always been a thing here. Anyone who takes an even vaguely moid position (or is (mis)interpreted that way) usually gets accused of being a scrote. Speaking from experience lmao.

The problem with that is that some anons don't title threads properly

No. 74155

I saw someone a few weeks ago asking if admins posted any statistics of bans pre and post the dumbass shit thread autosage, and honestly I would be very interested in seeing it. The autosage was supposed to cut back on newfaggotry and infighting, but as far as I can see, there's still a lot of both in /ot/. There's also the issue of anons posting off-topic things in other threads that would typically go into the dumbass shit thread, which for some reason doesn't seem to get banned most of the time. And the mods nowadays frequently bend to the wants/demands newfags, so it's incredibly unclear what direction you guys are trying to take.

It's actually super disappointing that townhalls are being refused, because the polls in townhalls would be a lot more reliable and verifiable for making decisions than holding polls on poll sites like what was done in the past

Please understand. There are no chat platforms with an archive function and also screen recording software doesn’t exist. So they just can’t I’m sorry. It’s for our own good.

>As for why other threads are not locked or autosaged, we have discussed as a team whether or not to close the worst offenders (e.g. Unpopular Opinions) and we’re still keeping an eye on it. We aren’t ruling out closing them in the near future if things do not improve.
So are we ever going to get an update on this? Or any updates literally at all
