I was kinda following this in the Azealia thread and the last Complaints thread, but this is just really confusing as a user, can you offer some clarity here?
nta but Why was this person banned (pic related)? I thought "hi cow" was against the rules too but I checked because of what this anon said and everything (regarding rules) was correct? So…you're banning the users that actually know your rules now instead of the user who is trying to enforce rules that don't technically exist or deciding what people get to talk about in that thread? If there's a reason other than that an explanation would be helpful because this makes mods look terrible tbh.
So, saw that in the AB thread, and then saw (what I assume was the same anon sperging about "hi cow" doesn't get redtexted or something in the last complaints thread) and mod said:
>We do not redtext everything, we do ban them though.
So then how is it a bannable offense if it's still not in the rules? Even after the rules were updated as recently as "January 22, 2019" according to the page? If you're banning people for it I guess I just don't understand why you still haven't added it to the rules or why it's not stated anywhere?
So then I guess my other question is are we not allowed to discuss the possibility that a cow is a farmer at all? Even if no one is "hi cow"-ing? Cause half of that thread (and past Celebricow threads) is talking about how Azealia is probably a farmer, and there's plenty of examples to allow for speculation. Is that still considered "hi cow" if we're not specifically accusing any user of being her? Just discussing the probability based on her actions?
Honestly not trying to argue or anything I'm just really trying to follow the logic here and understand the rules. Also cause Azealia is one of my favorite cows and but because of this I'm not sure what we're allowed to talk about anymore. Cause like I said just as someone seeing the situation from the outside it looks like:
>user a mini-mods thread, says they're breaking rules that don't actually exist (without reading any of the thread it seems like?)
>user b tells them the rules, says to read the thread (in a bitchy way, tbf)
>user a goes and whines in the complaints thread about "hi cow"
>user b permabanned…because….? person a threw a tantrum?
>?????
Anyways, any clarity would be helpful, thanks mod-senpai!!

I guess I just don't understand anons that go into a thread to be mad at people for discussing the subject of the thread. If that's not mini-modding or derailing then what is? Like, if one anon goes into a thread and picks a fight by basically saying anyone who believes x thing is "fucking retarded"….how is that "infighting"? Isn't that just 1 person starting shit with the rest of the thread?
I've seen a lot of confusing bans that don't seem to follow any rules (or logic), I just picked that one cause it seems like a good example. (Also because it was so clear that that one anon was the one sperging in the last thread about "hi cow").

>>8792Mods already approved the thread, so take it up with them if you're that upset. Already said I'm not that anon but judging by the established pattern, I'll end up getting banned too for asking a question in the complaints/issues thread, and the anons inciting the infighting and starting shit will not get banned. Because that seems to be the logic here.
Can we just stop with this already? Honestly this is why people think Azealia is a farmer, if you say anything about her anywhere spergs come out of the woodwork to scream about how she's not a cow or derail everything. I just came to this thread to ask for some clarification on rules in general, and you turned into an Azealia thing. Christ.

>>8795>Sometimes the more mass reported post get red texted so users know it was dealt with.Right, but what was being dealt with here exactly? That's what I'm asking for clarification on, just in general. What rule was broken here, so we can know not to do it in the future. Again, it's not just that thread, that just seemed like the most glaring example of it.
>You have no way of knowing that.Right, I don't know that because there's no way for me to know that with the way the information is presented…which is why I'm here in this thread, asking for more clarification. But instead of answering any of my actual question you just picked out one random sentence that had very little to do with it. I still have any way of knowing that, because you haven't answered anything?
I appreciate you getting back to me Mod-sama and I'm really not trying to be combative or anything….but do you see how this is confusing for other users? Publicly displaying a ban on a comment that's literally quoting the correct use of your own rules, contrasted with no acknowledgement of the user who actually broke/is writing their own definition of the rules?
Can you just offer some more clarity on the rules here, since it seems like you the anon who directly quoted the rules was incorrect? Like on mini-modding or "hi cow" etc.

Because I get real sick of seeing a discussion where things start out reasonable/civil and then someone starts slinging personal attacks, and then things snowball from there.
I do feel like there's always one or more people more in the wrong than people who didn't really start it. Although I realize arguing is unproductive on either side and I'm guilty, I just hope this sort of rule is weighted.

>>8796>>8797>>8800>>8802Glad to see I'm not the only one who's confused by this all the time and could use some more explanation. I feel like 85% of bans I see make zero sense and just look like mods are banning whoever they feel like for no discernible reason (because we can't see who's samefagging or whatever), but knowing that not all bans are redtexted just makes it even more confusing. The rules are all numbered, would it really be that difficult to just put the number of the rule broken instead of just a catch-all "(USER HAS BEEN PUT OUT TO PASTURE)"?
>>8796>>8777this makes less than zero sense, if that's possible. I always considered mini-modding to be anyone who says what can or can't be discussed in a thread, is that not correct? I see users all the time act like their opinion is the law on what constitutes nitpicking or what's worth talking about, and there's never any consequence to it at all (that we can see) even though it's super disruptive and derails conversation and leads to infighting.
Basically "fighting" in threads should only ever be people's opinions on the subject. The rules should be so clear that there should be no room for users to constantly fight about their own interpretation of them in threads. If a thread is already in motion with active participants or mods have specifically approved a subject, comments like
>>8792 or anything similar should be bannable. If you don't like a thread or don't think a cow deserves one, then don't look at it. Just move on from that shit, this shouldn't still be happening.

If you're here to ask me if I spanked the other anons instead of reflecting on your own ban then you've come to the wrong place.
>>8802I would think slinging personal attacks randomly is infighting. However I think the person instigating should face the hardest ban, not the anons responding unless it's gotten way out of hand.
>>8806The put of of pasture message should be used when the ban reason is obvious, like male posting or an obvious samefag or spergchan.

>If you're here to ask me if I spanked the other anons instead of reflecting on your own ban then you've come to the wrong place.Again, not that anon and I literally never asked that, I just asked for clarification on what rule was broken there to earn a ban, because it's unclear
>The put of of pasture message should be used when the ban reason is obvious, like male posting or an obvious samefag or spergchan. Except nobody can see any of that info except mods? How is it "obvious" to the rest of the site's users?

>No, you actually still have no way of knowing.What does this even mean?
Seriously? Is this the new farmhand tactic? Ban people for no clear reason, start fights with users who ask for clarity and accuse them of being samefag (despite being able to see IP info, etc) because info that no one but farmhands can see is "obvious"? Literally all I was looking for was "they were banned because of rule #x" but you just made it 100x worse and more unclear. I've been on this site for years and that was some of the worst sperging I've ever seen.

>>8809Well sis that's why I'm asking for clarification of what constitutes infighting, because there's never been a set definition. I'm saying lots of arguing starts as debate but some anons turn into an infight so where's the line. It made sense back before we had general boards because nobody wanted to browse dedicated lolcow or snowflake threads and have to scroll through a million replies of ot arguing.
However, there's always been a free for all attitude when it comes to arguing on ot though, and the rules for what is permissed have always flexed depending on the moderation team. So that's why I'm bringing it up to maybe add something into the rules since 'infighting' was specifically mentioned. That way there's no more arbitrary interpretations.

I kept trying to post on snow, multiple times, and every time I couldn’t because of someone else’s ban notice. It’s not my post. I don’t even post in jill’s thread and I’m not an anachan. I assume it’s from ip cycling, since it’s happened before to many anons. So I was like whatevs, since it said it would expire as soon as it I saw it. But now anytime I try to post in snow this ban shows up (which I appealed) and won’t let any of my posts go through. It’s kinda annoying.

>>>/pt/82417https://lolcow.farm/pt/src/1429121380832.pngThere may be more images in the old CGL threads.
DMCA complaints are required to list each individual file. Did she or her attorneys actually comb through the entire site for all of the images?
IIRC, Admin stated that her complaint regarded any unauthorized use of her image. This right is only granted with personality protection laws. Neither the US nor the UK (her country of residence) has such laws.
If her complaint is valid internationally then she will be able to have this archive removed

Maybe anons could collate photo sets rather than post one at a time if they're able? And like if for eg, Lainey's appearance looked drastic or something of note, it could be discussed but repetitive points discouraged.
I understand its hard to moderate quality, but rather than discourage posting it seems the biggest issue is reptititon.
Sorry if this is repetitive lol
No. 9089
>>9086>It's all just a laugh. We use to create so many funny photos from inspo posted in the form of a hilarious screen grab.Nearly every thread does that but for the onision thread there's more screencap nitpicking than actual milk, and it's not even really that funny most the time. The thread reads like a bunch of childish insults for a reason.
>A lot of the onion fun is getting overly moderated and not just by lc staff. I personally think it's been under moderated for awhile, momokun anons got more backlash last year for things the onision anons have gotten free passes to.
>When 'milk' such as court docs or leaked convos with girls they're flirting with isn't posted anons get wound up someone wants to discuss a non serious topic relating to a video/twitter post/insta post they've made.That's not a moderation issue that's just newfags not caring about milk and preferring to nitpick.
>Posts don't get deleted. We don't need 2 or 3 posts supporting a statement by rehashing it in other words. We get it. I'm not going to allow my staff to delete posts people don't like unless it's spam or illegal content. Yes repetitive posts can get banned but I won't allow censorship on an imageboard, that's a bit silly.
>It's discouraging discussion. I'd rather skip over a dozen smaller posts critiquing their aesthetics rather than paragraphs about JG and EG and how sad her plight isYou realize you're apart of the problem right? I hope I don't need to go into detail why that is but you
are apart of that exact problem.
>There are dozens of threads on this site discussing cows appearance, why should onion and Lainey get a pass.There is a crackdown on nitpicking and the onision thread is no exception, so actually they don't get a pass at all. The thread quality at this point is an embarrassment for a /pt/ thread.

>>9094You're way too hostile sis.
I don't think the image spam threads should go on /m/ either, though I also think they're stupid threads to begin with so maybe I'm too biased. I was picturing /m/ as a place of media discussion rather than a place to
share wallpapers personally. I'd say a thread like kpop critical even is more /m/ material than idol spam for instance. One is discussing a music genre and the other is… idk fap material? Not sure why people hoard images of random people.

You didn't help your case, in fact you pretty much just clarified that maybe the onision thread SHOULD be on autosage forever.

No. 9171
>>9169Last time I'm reiterating this bc some responses straight up sound like the anons have poor reading comprehension skills.
In this case people doing the sperging are against using someone's chosen pronouns and are yelling at other anons for using pronouns the cow might want. Nobody should be policing other anons' choices in what the fuck pronoun they want to use when talking about a cow or whatever else. Consider it like minimodding, it derails discussion because how dare some anons not go out of their way to see someone as a different gender than they present as.
TL;DR radfems are yelling at anons that don't use biological pronouns for troons
They're trying to evangelize radfem shit in threads that don't need it. Good for you if you haven't seen it but it happens and it's a problem.

No. 9186
>>9185The pronoun thing makes me want to ask Admin a question - are we taking a course towards the culture where you can just go to meta to complain about someone having an opinion you disagree with and get them banned? It just seems like for the past year a lot of things have become a "bannable offense" because some oversensitive anon lost an argument and cried infighting afterwards. Racebaiting is understandable because it completely shits up the discussion and brings in robot tier demographics but it seems as if some anons have realized that they can report anyone who they don't agree with under some vague reasoning. Like the tranny issue, people yell radfem baiting and femcels when most people who hate genderspecials are just normal posters with no strong feelings towards radical feminism or any other ideology.
The "widespread pronoun sperging" is usually something like this (demonstrated in a hyperbolic sense to make a point):
>Chris-chan just released her newest Sonichu issue!>">her" reactionimage.jpg>REEEEEE SHUT UP LOLCOW IS APOLITICAL IF SHE CHOOSES TO IDENTIFY AS A WOMAN THEN THAT'S HER OWN BUSINESS WOW STOP BEING SO TRANSPHOBIC THIS AIN'T A TERF BOARD I AM GOING TO REPORT THIS FOR DERAILING ADMIN THE RADFEMS ARE AT IT AGAIN PLEASE BAN THEIR ASSES AND DELETE THE CONTAINMENT THREADAnd it's not just the pronoun question. I get that it's derailing and infighting when anons keep going on for 70 replies arguing about dieting in Momokun's thread but it seems that a lot of anons have gotten used to being able to silence people by just whining about it on /meta/ a couple of times.

>Anons need to grow a thicker fucking skin, someone disagreeing with you and challenging your opinion in /ot/ isn't supposed to be seen as infighting.This is true, discussion is supposed to happen organically and it's only natural that anons are going to have different opinions.

I allowed PNP back because she is a cow, I don't feel right banning threads just because people don't like them. If they are a cow then who am I to ban discussion of a cow?

The others votes were won by large margins and I am working on the sage issue in /pt/. Thank the previous admin for the spaghetti code I have to fix.

>>9259I completely agree. I don't mean this in an insulting way, but it doesn't seem like the new admin understands what makes imageboards appealing. At all.
Not every post needs to be some enormous revelation or leak. Banter is normal, that's what makes the conversations fun. As long as it's saged and not autistic powerleveling, there shouldn't be problem.
Excessive moderation is ruining the appeal of this site. I shouldn't visit a thread and have my eyes assaulted with a wall of red text.
I strongly suggest admin and the mod team go visit other chan sites to learn 1. what makes them appealing, and 2. what a proper level of moderation is.

>>9266The red text flood was done by one mod, and it was dealt with. A few weeks ago anons were here saying they wanted all bans redtexted.
Banter and discussion is normal and encouraged but I emphasize again that sage isn't an excuse to break rules to the point where a thread only devolves into nitpicking.

>>9341Necroing on /ot/ should be fine… it's a discussion board and documenting milk isn't a priority there which is the main reason necroing is an issue on a cow board like /pt/. Afaik it's not even considered necroing if you post new milk in the most recent thread on a cow, even if the thread hasn't been active for a long time. It's only bad if you made a non-milk post.
For /ot/ it's just bringing up an old topic and shouldn't cause issues for anyone since nobody will click a thread only to find out there's no milk, it's just some anon who decided to go "wow she's fat" or something lel.

>>9217>>9221>>9227Some of the rule enforcement does seem to be over-zealous, but you guys are completely missing the fact that the audience of lolcow has grown and changed demographically to an extreme degree over the years. When a community only has a couple hundred or thousand members, it's piss easy to maintain without creating or enforcing many rules. There's been a huge influx of PULL, Instagram, tumblr, Kiwi Farms, etc. over the years, and I can guarantee you that this place would be unsalvageable if strict rules hadn't been created and enforced. Gossip communities are catnip for the worst kinds of people, and the rules prevent them from swarming the place and ruining the culture.
It'd be nice to be able to have heated arguments without getting banned tho.

Those do not constitute as CP. If you really actually feel it is CP and believe it constitutes as CP, you can make a complaint to the police and get the exact same reply from them.
Up to you, do remind them though that you posted them yourself Michael and actually have child porn in your possession and distributed it.
Which your dumbass has already admitted here three times and get slapped with actual possession and distribution of actual child pornography.. How embarrassing and cringeworthy, trying to wave around legal jargon without understanding it to cover up your dumb behavior and accidentally snitch on yourself. Instead of screeching autistically at the admin here, you should be worrying that someone has capped your dumb threats here and you admitting to distributing and possessing child pornography and filed an online tip with the info.
You just keep on digging that grave for yourself here, this is hilarious.
No. 9383
>>9382You are just a gift that keeps on giving. Admin already confirmed the thread in question has you posting the cringe. Everyone already saw those posts and your threats there, dumbass.
As for the cropped photo of the sternum and claiming the whole photo contains sexual features of a minor. The media in question is not indistinguishable to the viewer, as the whole photo has never been posted. Due to this the admin nor anyone not in possession of the allegedly uncropped image can confirm is there a visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexual acts nor is there any actual evidence to confirm that the subject of the photo indeed is an identifiable minor.
Due to this there is no evidence that the photo in question qualifies as media that would be classified under the exploitation of a child label.
You can obviously Michael mend this little problem, very easily in fact, and prove it is actually CP as you allege by posting the whole photo in question. Obviously though if you happen to post CP, do not be surprised if you have the cops contact you after about possession and distribution of child porn. But thank you for snitching on yourself three times already, can you make it a four?

i know imageboards have rules and aren't just anything goes, but these threads aren't for archiving purposes, they are for
us to use to
discuss cows and stuff. the fact that admin is trying to "crack down" on /ot/ and /g/ should be a huge red flag to anybody, but she's using the trump method of saying stuff people likes in an attempt to distract them, then chimping out when people notice. she purposely refuses to answer questions and does things of her own accord despite having prior discussions. guess we can't expect much more from someone who was friends with the previous admin.

victims under the rug cause we're not reiterating the same point 1000 of times.
Honestly it's not hard to scroll past a nitpick comment they're usually a line long. It's longer to come on to minimod the post and contribute nothing.
Some anons are aware cows themselves read the thread so sprinkling in an insult sometimes is just banter, I don't get how other posters get offended when comments aren't directed at them.

One off-topic post or nitpick isn't a big deal. When you look at the onion thread it's all some anons have in their post histories. Some anons are legitimately there just to nitpick Lainey while glossing over Greg's milk.
>there's no point to voting if you're just going to make a decision based on your feelings.If that were true I wouldn't be asking users (who couldn't attend the townhall) for their opinions twice again after votes.

you said that
you are bringing about stricter moderation.
you said that
you decided to make /m/ because "votes were close" and you still refuse to explain why there was no vote for /w/. and you still keep trying to assert that you're being transparent when you're being everything but that. a transparent admin doesn't make a new board and have mods move threads without even announcing the board first. they don't make a board after a vote vetoes it. like others have said, all you're doing is making the site more hospitable for newfags and being weirdly anal about shit that no one gives a fuck about. and it's all because you clearly don't into image boards. anyone else who is made admin after you will revert a lot of the changes you made.

I explained before that /w was made because it was
my own choice to make moderation easier and to organize threads. This was said in /meta/. Since the creation of /w/ threads are more active and it's been easier for mods and janis to go through reports.
Think whatever you want. All the decisions I've made were discussed with the new staff and thought over carefully. People will always complain about the moderation here, no matter what. A few years ago an admin banned a bunch of threads on the basis of not "liking it", now making new boards to organize things a bit better is the absolute worst.
I really didn't expect any different. I'm going to continue doing my volunteer side job to the best of my ability, have a great day.
>>9509Yes, autosage is discussed collectively within the staff. At the moment moderators cycle through whichever thread they're assigned for the month and will report back about certain issues or trends.

I've noticed that the use of contractions like ngl, lmao, lol and smh are becoming increasingly frequent in the threads I visit.

I don't care about the poster, I care about the cow.
Perhaps the moderation could consider deleting posts that break the rules? Since not all ban-worthy posts get redtexted, the posts are left up and users start to emulate them, presuming that those kinds of posts and attitides are allowed. The worst should be redtexted and left up as examples, but the "minor" offences (sage, non-contribution, etc) only clog up a thread. If you can't follow the rules, you shouldn't get to use the site.

That being said I super agree with the point about Phoebe's thread. It's flooded with newfags and the who expose page was cringy and cowtipping. Like when the anon tried to make an expose video in Jillian's thread.

With how the website is being run, I had some ideas that could really make lolcow better!
First of all, because moderators like to ban anyone for posts they deem to be a non-contribution, we should have some sort of system for promoting posts that contribute to the thread, like some sort of 'up' vote button, and also a 'down' button we can press for bad posts, so we don't have to see them in the thread! That way the mods wouldn't have to ban or delete anything they don't like, the content would be buried for them.
Secondly, I think we should get rid of anonymity on this website. Some people like this 'image board' format because lets them post whatever they want and have a free discussion. Sometimes they even like to make posts of little value, I believe this is called a 'shit post'. This is very dangerous because it can sometimes lead to off-topic posts or people disagreeing with each other. Because the moderators have decided that anything outside of a narrow, arbitrary and vague definition of 'quality' or 'contribution' posts must be banned, it's only natural that we should attach our posts to a username. Having a name attached to an account would make each user think before they post, leading to better quality posts.
This way, the mods can have more control over their users!
Additionally, we should get rid of the image board style format. Image boards are designed in a way that anyone can make a thread on anything they want. Because the moderators have such strict standards on what is deemed thread/post worthy, we should just have a forum-style design. Having a forum-style thread for every subject of interest would save the mods having to make more boards and fracture the website further.
TL;DR Let's stop acting like that CREEPY "4chan" and make this place truly epic!
Hope to see these ideas implemented some time soon my fellow farmers :)

There seems to be a panic that as soon as the first notice comes in, we need a new thread - when we do not.
Creating a bad thread for a cow who regularly has good ones is not a safe bubble where you only get congratulated for your hard work uwu.

when did that retarded meme start hahaha which one of you started saying it was just for documentation instead of gossip and then the rest started parroting it? is that the real april fools joke? some of us actually participated since well before PT was ever brought up in /cgl/ and aren't struck with Alzheimers.

(really, name one cow in /pt/ right now that doesn't have the same amount of physical appearance nitpicking. one. give it to me.) if all she was, was a literal whore with no milk she could go in the camwhore thread like the other 'literal whores with no milk' - but as it stands, she's had quite a few 'milky' moments even in the past bit. like I said up thread, in my opinion, all it needs is one more big milky moment break and for the users to reign in just a little during that moment to be 'PT WORTHY'.
not sure why you are having a spazz over the idea I think she should be in /pt/, as if you couldn't just hide the thread if it ever happened. you know what's even more annoying than 'ass boil nitpicks'? when people like you come into the thread to reeee over the 'quality'.
so buckle up, buttercup, since you seem to enjoy having your jimmies rustled. maybe one day you will be able to handle the jarring reality that there are people who just don't agree with you.
No. 9680
>>9679I disagree. I also feel the reason people like pumpy, meg or even now charms have been lumped into that thread are because they are not actively milky. if they were consistently producing milk to fill threads they could have their own again, too. short of a few who are perma-/pt/'d (like pixy herself), those in /pt/ who are not consistently producing new milk are moved to /snow/ (as they have been before). that doesn't mean they aren't "REAL" cows when they do produce it. if you are basing your criteria off of the current cows then your judgement seems skewed because it's very close to fitting them. I say very close because I have already stated I feel she needs another 'big scandal' milk wise and for users to reign themselves in during it for her thread to fully qualify.
the bottom line is we have no set in stone check off list criteria for what is '/pt/'. it's more-so vague criteria plus the active feelings of the userbase. it's just not that black and white. and as someone who has been around for a long time I am arguing that she is very close to what /pt/ status has ever been in the past. if you want to redefine what /pt/ status should be in your eyes, then go for it. I have no issue with users aiming to change the site for their idea of improvement. but people complaining against mine and other's opinions of what is milky/pt worthy/whatever by throwing out little insults and spazzies is not improvement. its just autism-tier melties. improve the site by clearly outlining your new standards and contributing quality posts yourselves if that's what you want to do, don't try to tell me, who remembers old LC and old /cgl/ and went out of my way to show concrete evidence of my memories, that nitpicks and banter aren't what this board started as. (not saying that anon was you specifically, just putting that out there as a whole because I've seen nothing but 'twisted panties' when this subject comes up which does nothing).

>>9686but I also agree with this. under the guise of fixing everything that's been 'ruined', are we going to lose everything we have had, too?
I've also noticed an influx of newfags pretending to be oldfags and parroting a lot of blatantly false garbage, mini-modding rules they don't even understand, asking to be spoonfed instead of lurking to integrate. these are much more harmful than an abundance of nitpicking, in my opinion. so are posts like some of the above where it's just shit flinging 'NO U ARE WRONG FAGGOT!' instead of properly explaining /why/ they are wrong, or offering their idea of a solution. if newfriends read these things without any rhyme or reason to them, they'll just end up parroting garbage too. it's like that stupid monkey ladder thing.
it's the same reason we went from no sage to people constantly screeeeing 'sage, sage or else!' because that's the saga of shit they joined the site in. only now has current admin started to even fix that. it's going to be a while til this crapshoot settles and there's going to be a lot of agreeing to disagree in the mean time.

Oldfags aren't going to be banned left or right for a shitpost or a standard nitpick. My moderators and janitors are told to ban based off a pattern of rule breaking and a lack of integration. I have staff from different timezones to be able to handle spam and gore, not to overmoderate. I hope that eases your concerns anon.
>>9687>I've also noticed an influx of newfags pretending to be oldfags and parroting a lot of blatantly false garbage, mini-modding rules they don't even understand, asking to be spoonfed instead of lurking to integrate. these are much more harmful than an abundance of nitpicking, in my opinion. I agree with this and it's been noticed.

I noticed some people were upset with some of my previous responses in this thread so I wanted to just say I don't mean to come off aggressive in any way I'm just very stoic.

Like some other Anon said, this is a gossip and drama imageboard, not some dignified info gathering forum.
I understand that overly nitpicking someone's looks deserves an one day ban if it goes overboard. But honestly, almost every other thread has people poking fun at someone's looks. It's part of the gossip. How do you decide when it's just fun and when it's too much?
Banning any discussion about Lainey is just nuts. She is part of Onision's family and any discussion about her is also connected to him. Almost everything she does is because of Greg. It felt very balanced to me, when Onision wasn't as milky, people discussed Lainey. When he did something, it turned back to him.
Censoring the names is just way too much. Farmhand complains about Trot and Clot but weren't those nicknames made so no one would use their children's real name? And those are only names people use for them, so it's not that hard to understand.
I never thought it was hard to read at all, maybe for newfags. Creativity of the nicknames was lol-worthy a lot of times, it's just a shame.

Censoring the names does feel way too far, especially when you consider how much effort must have gone into it considering how many nicknames there are for Greg and Lainey. We all call Momo Moo, not by Momo and yet this isn't okay? It's going to start scaring people away and not making them want to post at all cause who knows what's okay and not okay.

I remember being on tempcow and seeing over 1000 active users in the thread. I doubt it was all bores housewives and it also split into a couple of different discord groups which one seemed to belong to a group of mods who came to be absolutely fucking hated much like the current team.

The Onision thread has been on a steady decline since tempcow and it was pretty much unreadable because of the nitpicking.
There’s a difference between contributing to the discussion and “lol Lainey and Greg are ugly and stupid.” Sage doesn’t mean you can nitpick and it never has.

>>9729This doesn't make any sense, anon. First of all, people aren't criticizing the children, they're criticizing the Onions' bad parenting skills. Most comments I've seen tend to be sympathetic towards the children because of how little attention Greg and Lainey seem to give them and how from what little evidence we have T seems to have behavioural issues.
In any case, the children are still extremely young and unlikely to be able to Google themselves. Besides, nicknaming them and their parents is more likely to protect their identity than some word filter constantly autocorrecting to Onision. It's not as though anons are continuously typing up the Onions' full first and last names over and over to make this thread the first thing that would come upon googling the Avaroes.

Even if you apply that logic to the site as a whole, scrote posts have continued being deleted in the Pink Pill as early as yesterday, if you look at the thread and see the amount of "gone" posts.
I'm just wondering about the change of heart. In the first place, men are not supposed to post on LC, period. I don't think it's even an issue of censorship (their thoughts were never promised an equal platform as other users or respected as
valid), it's pretty much an issue of rule-breaking for them to be making posts in the first place.

Unless your comment is a new and witty observation, you probably don't need to post it. The amount of discussion about lainey's herpes and gregs genitals and all the weird fanfic tier shit anons write about them fucking is so cringeworthy. Some posts make me seriously worried about the anons posting them. It's obvious a lot of them are ex-patrons who legitimately want to do him, and a few people even admit it openly as if it's not admitting they're retarded?

It felt very balanced to me, when Onision wasn't as milky, people discussed Lainey. When he did something, it turned back to him. You can just
not post though. It's always been an option, we don't have autopruning so there's absolutely no need to stop threads from dying, because they wont. I don't understand why people actually
want to beat a dead horse and repeat the same shit over and over and over again.
Honestly if I were admin I'd consider locking the onion threads in milk droughts. No posts is better than eight million
>H E R P E S>close up of onions dick>lainey is transtender>her hair is bad>untidy housead nauseum.
some general shit;
I've seen people banned for "no contribution" when using reaction images and I reckon that's bullshit, especially if it's board relevant OC. Reaction images are a good way to encourage higher quality posts - I'd rather see a funny image than a boring text comment any day. It's a good way to screen newfags because usually they don't have a good reaction image collection and will make a shitty boring text comment. Encouraging OC is a nice way to cultivate board culture as well.
and can you tell newfags to stop telling people who've attached images to sage? Images cancel out sage. It's one of the most annoying newfaggy minimods I see and it takes all of my self control not to minimod the minimod every time.
and and I think a mod needs to keep an eye on the phoebe thread, it's all good atm but there are a lot of anons using sjw terminology legitimately and I think they're newfags only aware of that thread who think this is a callout site.

Go ahead and point out where in the rules it states males are allowed, or link to a post where the most recent admin herself has stated that male posters are allowed on the whole of the site. Or even the administrators before that stating that males are allowed, ever. You can't, because it does not exist.

To get back on topic, I just want to back up what
>>8928>>8929have said. It seems like the mods listened before and went back to deleting their posts, but that's suddenly stopped. Robot bullshit doesn't belong here, or at least not in designated man hate threads. I believe it should continue being removed. They get validation from their posts being left up to mar threads, and from being given cute participation pixel trophies to show that they're special.
The practice of deletion that was implemented up til just yesterday was stellar. Not only did it clean up threads, it ensured no one else would or could respond to their bait. It seems like it's suddenly stopped, and I'd like to request that it be rolled back, or at least hear an explanation for the change (and a reason why it won't be reversed) from a farmhand or admin.

People lashing out at each other are way more damaging to the site that a few stupid nicknames or a reaction image.
It's a minor issue but it makes me wonder what other changes will take effect in the future. Changing the nicknames feels very counter to the culture that thread has created. What jokes from other threads on /pt/ will be deemed "annoying" or "bullying"? Why is the punishment for derailing now to kill a thread and essentially punish all that enjoy it? Banning reaction images is very counter to imageboard culture. But you only chose to respond to one of my concerns and it was the most minor one.

I don't think anyone has ever complained about nicknaming Greg or Lainey though, and that rule is absolutely retarded.

>>9962I only suggested that they start a thread on Lainey as a compromise because Admin will not cede. Like I said earlier, Greg is pushing her to become their Youtube cash cow.

>>9963together as in the same thread.
Yes, i think they're basically synonymous with each other but I AM aware that they have some videos or spregs about themselves.
For example that soda video, why can't we just let them chat about it in the thread. It's just going to be 10-15 comments about what a stupid cunt she is and how onision has further destroyed her perceptions of reality with his grooming. Then we move on.
If you make them post that shit in the fakeboi thread then the rest of us have to shift through that shit to get to her updates, which I know I personally wont fucking do. We end up just missing out on context for her future spregs this way.
And then when milk does finally roll in, we get all these anons referencing shit we don't know cause we cbf following the other thread, and it'll probably end up being just a constant stream of 'lurk moar newfags' call outs with sprinkles of lengthy referencing from the few dedicated farmers left.
For the sake of future archiving and referencing, can we just fucking let them talk about lainey in the thread? She will inevitably be once again heavily involved in onion milk and ofc anons are gonna want to start digging up all her old shit to testify what kind of character she has.
No. 9967
>>9966>For example that soda video, why can't we just let them chat about it in the thread.Because it's 1) not milk 2) nitpicky 3) boring.
>And then when milk does finally roll in, we get all these anons referencing shit we don't know cause we cbf following the other thread.Crossposting isn't hard. Look at the Onion Flakes thread for a good example of milk that's been crossposted. Stop being lazy and making shitty excuses. If you want to nitpick Lainey, do it in /snow/ not /pt/. Better yet, take it to the anti-o discord servers.
No. 9969
>>9967hearing about lainey making an entire video bashing the sugar content of sodas when her own matcha fraps from starbucks is almost double the sugar content is a helluva more interesting than Greg's #1001 twitter spreg about how shane dawson is a pedo.
Without greg, lainey is just some fakeboi who enjoys making videos showing everyone how much more superior she is in terms of nutrition, childcare and healthcare. Without lainey, greg is just a dying cow, mooing the same old milk over and over again until he fades into obscurity.
But together, they're still a producing diary cow, albeit a pretty sickly one with clogged teats.
Leave them together, anons. Alone they don't deserve their own threads, but together we'll at least have some material to read while taking our morning shits.

Lainey is literally only in our sphere because she married Greg. She's not important enough to have her own thread, I think most people only keep up with her because she is married to Greg, not because she's a transtrender. That's why she doesn't belong in the transtrenders thread. No one would care about her if she wasn't with Greg. I don't want to bother with digging through the trender thread because I really could care less.

>>9949I'm not 'slightly' defending the children's nicknames. I said I can see why it should be banned although it never offended me. The reason it never offended me is because I don't find it interesting at all to talk about their kids.
Learn to read. It's completely understandable why they shouldn't be even spoken about. The only time I can even see a reason to mention them is concern when these two retards have teenagers in and out of their homes, eg the billie saga and sarah's visits.

It’s obvious that the people complaining about Lainey not being able to be discussed on her own are the ones that are responsible for the thread quality declining for the last 2 years and are
triggered that farmhands are actually banning for things against the rules. If you want Admin to permit Lainey’s content without Greg in the Onision thread then get your act together.
No. 9984
>>9983I agree.
Just wanted to say that I appreciate the ban on n Lainey talk when it doesn’t pertain to Greg in the Onision thread.
I don’t give a shit about her boring videos. They aren’t milky at all. I don’t need a recap about her trying different sodas. And comments like, omg she’s totally overreacting. Drink diet soda. So nitpicky, pointless, and completely devoid of milk.

Hellweek ended today at 12AM GMT, in order to evaluate what worked and what didn't we will have a townhall on May 5th 8PM GMT, same time as our last townhall. The time may be changed if there is enough demand.
The primary topic will be related to the future of lolcow and possible major technical changes, I think it's major enough to discuss collectively.
Of course moderation can also be discussed along with feedback about how hellweek went.
If there is a specific topic you want brought up in the townhall then you can post about it in this thread.
I'm still debating between hosting the townhall on cytube or irc. I'll post a channel name or link to cytube regardless of what I choose.

They complain, yet they can’t seem to stay away.
I would definitely pledge to the patreon if things keep going this way.

I asked two weeks ago here
>>9953 but never got an answer. Can the Luna and Dasha threads get the same treatment as the Onion, Moo, Venus, and Kota threads? "Dasha's skinwalking Mina and she's photoshopping!", "Onion is ugly and Plainey looks like a foot", "Luna is real fat and her art is ugly.", "Moo is fat as hell and she shooped it". All of these things have the same issue and it's that these are repeated nonstop for the majority of the threads. We already know that Dasha wants to wear Mina's skin and copies her clothes and hair. We already know that Tuna's a hella big girl with scary as hell makeup. It eventually devolves into nitpicking just like it did in Moo and Onion's threads before staff stepped in. I can't tell if some of the rules that were once in place by the old staff still are, either.
No. 10087
>>10085luna's threads are as sluggish as their subject.
dasha is a stalker and it still is her storyline - to the point of hooking in Mina's sister's clothing and a Mina wig - so long as the thread traffic doesn't go crazy it still is a part of things with Dasha.
neither of these threads are the high traffic messes that moo or lainey had going on. there's always room for reducing nitpicking anywhere but the thread volumes are hardly comparable. I get it, you're seeking parity over having your lainey nitpicks taken away but the thread characteristics don't match up.
No. 10091
>>10090How about we
fix the userbase so threads aren't full to the brim of shit. If you could read, you'd know my issue isn't really with certain threads, it's with the users. I also hate /ot/ because robots use it to spam, should I filter threads that robots are in too? I don't think so. We used to have robot containment threads and then we got rid of them and banned the robots because they are unsavory posters. I think we should nuke the board that is filling up and attracting other unsavory posters like radfems. I'm sick of radfems infecting the rest of the site, especially with GC shit. And I'm not saying radfems opinions need to be banned, but we need to stop encouraging them to come to the site and act like it's their site.
No. 10092
>>10087>you're seeking parity over having your lainey nitpicks taken awayThat makes no sense at all because I'm in favor of the Lainey nitpicks being taken away. Terrible assumption that makes you look like an ass.
>>10088This is it pretty much. They're both snow material at this point because they haven't really done anything terribly milky in a long time. If people are able to sage, it would make those two threads much more bearable, but if I recall, the admin said that no sage on /pt/ was hardcoded in.
No. 10096
>>10092>Terrible assumptionSo what is your grievance exactly.
Lainey has been fully dealt with, that one.
Moo threads are just… ugh, I have no comment. I do see some nitpicking being flagged.
I'm personally not against any cows going to /snow/ if they no longer deliver - Luna has less milk than Shay even, dying is the most interesting thing Luna will ever do. It just seems like culturally once a cow gets to /pt/ there they stay? Vicky is another one who hasn't been milky for a long time either.
With Dasha, she is dormant right now but she did some grievous shit involving this board not that long in the past and likely will do something grievous again, only time will tell with her.

I imagine they have other post history I can't see, but it /looks/ a little fucky this person gets the redtext for arguing against the handmaiden derailment, when laddy up thread literally calling someone a handmaiden/tranny for complaining people take handmaiden/tranny claims outside of gendercrit doesn't get slapped with a red text for that.
I know not all bans are public and lots of people bitch about too much red text, but really? we can't have a
little more consistency with the transparency?
Similar complaint:
I got banned the other day for arguing that Venus hasn't shown signs of BPD in her thread, for arm chairing. (This is legit that I was banned for that, I'm not arguing against the ban here or I would have appealed). But only a single person got red texted (twice I might add, and who wasn't me) for the same offense. Why? Now it looks like me and that other poster and whoever the fuck else were part of that discussion were samefagging up the thread. I'm not asking for red texts on EVERY ban because I get where people don't want constant clutter. But if mods are going to red text one post in a group of different offenders, is it that bad that they do one post of the other poster's, too?
Because now it just makes it look like they're on the side of the opposing argument. Which I'm sure they aren't and they banned the faggots screeching hand maiden or 'BPD!!' too in these instances, but to anyone else reading that, it doesn't look that way.

Letting the Jeffree grunts completely steamroll every discussion of him is part of why he keeps getting away with this shit. Literally all we need is something like
>no baseless speculation
That's it. That would literally solve all of our problems. We're not talking about people's opinions of Jeffree, we're talking about the people who keep shoving everything under the rug. It's the same situation over and over again of having receipts of some shitty behavior and anons suddenly swarming in to divert any attention away from him and on to the person accusing him or just going "idk seems fake" for no reason.
If this had been addressed last year when we asked, we wouldn't have to keep going over and over the same shit every day. There's literally 4 separate threads that discuss Jeffree (a dead Jeffree thread, YT Makeup 1&2 and the Shane thread) and over a decade of milk and somehow that's still not enough for mods to pay any attention to our complaints. Jeffree has more milk than most of the cows on /pt/ combined, but you would never let someone in the Onion thread come in and say
>idk is grooming underage girls even that bad? :// i think you guys are overreacting
>idk can we even believe the 138 girls that have come forward with proof of the same behavior being repeated for years?
>idk [abused girl #28] is obviously just posting caps for attention
>idk [abused girl #72] probably made up those dozens of caps of conversations that can be confirmed and cross-referenced with dozens of other posts
>idk [abused girl #47] tweeted this thing 5 years ago so she's REALLY the one we should be talking about
>idk i just don't trust [abused girl #86] i think she's lying
Like you let happen with Jeffree's behavior. There hasn't been one single redtext for any of it. Idk if that's because you just ignore it because it's constant attacking his accusers instead of outright defending him, but I don't know how that's not considered whiteknighting.
Sorry if I seem butthurt but this has just been going on for so long and we literally have to keep having the same discussion and go through all the same motions and spoonfeed every. single. time. and nothing ever gets done about it. I've been on this site for years now and I've never seen something so blatantly ignored as this, it's infuriating. Lolcow has clearly played a huge part in not letting Gurg or Moo or Taylor get away with their shit anymore, I don't know why mods keep letting this go on. You are actively contributing to his narrative that keeps him living in a mansion and making millions of dollars by letting it go on on this site, why doesn't he get the same treatment? Even the GG/ProJared thread shuts down senseless wk-ing, and it's not nearly as big as Dramageddon 2.0, and there's not receipts spanning a decade like Jeffree has either.
inb4: "kek [insert any of the dozens of people who have jeffree receipts]-stan" as per usual

>>10250please. the influx of newfags, whiteknights and people unsagedly derailing about their totes succesful polyshit relationship is shitting up the thread. newfags will bump the thread to discuss whether a poly relationship is
VaLiD or not, or not bother reading ANYTHING that's posted before WKing.

Regarding the projared thread, the previous one, after the new thread was made, right before it hit post limit, these posts appeared with Holly’s name. Even responding to one of their own posts pretending to be someone else. Has holly been officially namefagged by mods or is it some retard writing “holly” in the name field? Anons were wondering since she had been suspected of self posting previously. Just wondering if based-staff could shed some clarification? Thanks!

>>10261Chill, I was just asking for clarification since we actually have had cows that (through their ip) automatically gave them a name whenever they posted, as soon as they posted, w/o being announced such as Cindy pop cosplay 1-2 years ago which was simply for ban evasion and spamming the board and was not announced bc it wasn’t a big deal. Also sources can get namefagged like that as well. That’s why I was asking. Seeing the name appear the sec the post goes up would be per norm is situations like that, like they have done previously on this site a few times. It doesn’t hurt to ask?
Also I posted this in meta while the discussion was still occurring over it. That’s why I said “clarification”. And I wasn’t the only one who was wondering.

why did you guys not delete this? This is obviously a spam bot and not a newfag.

>>10271i disagree, most of the people correcting are crazy GC/radfems getting
triggered that someone called a tranny man a woman. most of them stalk those threads anyway so they're quick to jump on anyone who uses the "wrong one".

>>10269 and I've also seen anons derail over TrAnSpHoBiA on the reverse, it's just something people need to get the fuck over. Let feminazi and genderspecial anons use the pronouns they want without getting assmad about it. Doesn't matter what you call cows at the end of the day.

>>10275I don't see how that was fun. Spam bots just clutter up the board, what's the point of leaving them?
Besides, by letting them post their SEO crap you are basically helping them out.
