Hellweek will begin April 15th to April 22nd. Posts made during this week will receive extra scrutiny and moderation will increase. However, this is not applicable to posts before or after hellweek. Boards unrelated to drama will not be participating so there's no need to worry about moderation changes there.
Examples of trends and behaviors to be targeted:
∙ Spamming low effort images
∙ Spamming social media statuses with no context
∙ Blogging and inserting your personal life into the discussion
∙ Derailing threads to uphold your politics or personal beliefs
∙ Unwarranted/emotional overreactions
∙ asking to be spoonfed
∙ extreme and abnormal nitpicking
∙ posting in a way that indicates you're new to lolcow.farm
All rules listed on
https://lolcow.farm/rules still apply, but are not the primary focus. The goal is to purge as many newfags as possible while improving the overall posting quality.
Ban lengths for the listed behaviors may not exceed 1 week. Ban lengths for everything else may not exceed 4 days.
Please post any questions, suggestions, or concerns in this thread. General complaints stay in the general complaints thread.

>>9832It really depends on the quality of the post, I'm more concerned with anons minimodding and screeching "sage" in every thread.
>>9836One day away now. The twitter and instagram types can can either integrate or leave with a ban.
I also wish this didn't have to be said but standard bans are based off of rule violations (duh). Whether or not you love or hate staff doesn't factor into the ban or the length, that would be
biased.
A good way to appeal a ban would be to acknowledge an offense, or dispute it. A bad way to a appeal a ban would be to reference how much you've defended the moderation team as if it's relevant to the ban. I hope that shit stops and I don't want to see it occur during hellweek.

I just don't get it. Everyone here was new once and this site isn't the easiest to navigate sometimes. People on here saying there are threads when there aren't any to mislead people don't get banned but asking for the thread is bannable?

>Boards unrelated to drama will not be participating so there's no need to worry about moderation changes there
As someone who almost never bothers to go to /pt/….do you mean /pt/ and /snow/ by this? Clarification on this would be more helpful than the list of targeted behaviors.
>Examples of trends and behaviors to be targeted
This list is just….the rules? I don't really understand the concept of this – so mods are just actually going to enforce rules for a week? But only on some boards? Again, maybe because I frequent the other boards mostly and rarely /pt/ but I feel like I haven't really seen these particular behaviors in excess lately. Usually just a few random newfags here or there that can be easily corrected.
I was really hoping you'd be targeting the people that completely sperg out over sage and try and mini-mod every single comment with their own interpretation of the rules or start infighting. That's the cancerous behavior I've been seeing worsen in the past year, but maybe the updated rules are expected to take care of that? Idk, I guess I imagined Hellweek to be torches and pitchforks, this seems more like just expecting people to follow directions
No. 9990
>>9982>I was really hoping you'd be targeting the people that completely sperg out over sage and try and mini-mod every single comment with their own interpretation of the rules or start infighting.Yes, I addressed this in another post.

>>9990You're totally right, sorry senpai. I saw the whining about sage and immediately just scrolled past it to read the rest of the thread like I usually do. Godspeed.
>>9992Good way of expanding on the concept, thanks anon!
>>9993For what it's worth, this is the kind of unnecessary in-fighting starting I was referring to, thanks for the example anon! Some of us just remember the days before sage was implemented and threads were actually about the cows themselves and not toddlers fighting over who can call each other an autist the loudest.

>>9995It's /meta/. I wouldn't reply in this manner in a thread, its derailing.
But idk, just explore the board a bit? I don't use /ot/ but I know where it is and what's in it. Admin's statement about where it would apply and what to was pretty clear.

>>10002>It's /meta/. I wouldn't reply in this manner in a thread, its derailingSo derailing with your own opinion is acceptable behavior because it's /meta/, but asking a perfectly reasonable question directed at mods….is unacceptable behavior on /meta/? I don't think you understand how any of this works. Do you wait by the Customer Service desk at Walmart to yell at customers who try to speak to employees in your free time too?
>It's the Walmart returns line. I wouldn't scream at a stranger in another aisle in this manner, it's harassmenthonestly though, this is literally the

>>10009I talk about moving Moomoos thread full of nitpicking and sperging and the first thing you do is start another tax fight in another thread.
Canadianfag here i had no fucking clue there was state AND federal income tax so yah my bad. But you completely missed my point further proving the exact behaviour thats been going on in the momokun thread for 3 months.
"Stop fucking talking about taxes stop sperging about her cats reeee" meanwhile every second day the same topics come up over and over again. Its filled with mini mods and derailers with some ugly badly photoshopped pictures in between.
No. 10016
>>10015You could have googled before assuming that, though? And where's the tax fight? Correcting you isn't fighting.
I think the staff has been pretty good at staying on top of the issues in Moo's thread. People have been getting banned for legit nitpicking which is a huge difference from before the new admin came on board.
No. 10018
>>10008I honestly think that autosage and moving threads to /snow/ solves nothing. It's a lazy punishment when the moderation doesn't know how to handle undesirable behavior. We're not as understaffed as we were in January so there's no reason to move the moo thread.
All threads have nitpicking. The nitpicking I want to curb has to be extreme or repetitive. The moo thread has been pretty good about it ever since I implemented the fat ban.
I think wanting to curb on a legitimate conversation about taxes is unfair. Speculation can be fun and it can have legitimate reasoning behind it. Tinfoiling becomes tinfoiling when it reaches the verge of fanfiction.
Speculation has been an effective tool in the onision, shay, and TND threads; and I'm only referencing instances from the past year.
If you think there is a problem with a few posts, report them.
