No. 92055

Recently I noticed two self-post red texts in /snow/, one in the Jessica Richards thread and one in the Grimes thread. If you're using the term as a joke, you need to clarify that. People genuinely believe those are selfposts because that label isn't typically used ironically by farmhands, you can't claim you know specifically only those two posts were by grimes or Jessica Richards. Who is the failure of a janitor you're allowing to do this?

No. 92057

>>92055
To clarify, the post in the grimes thread was clearly meant to be a WK ban. As far as the Jessica Richards thread goes its pretty obvious she's selfposting, but labeling a single video link shared as a selfpost without context, other post labels, etc looks like you're perpetuating labeling random posts as selfposts. Taking creative liberties in one thread really creates doubt when you do the same thing in another later on. If I recall, selfposting used to be a ban reserved explicitly for doing so, not used satirically for a WK post as all it does is create confusion.

>>>/meta/92031

We apologize for the delay. A number of things came up that had to take higher priority, and each admin went through busy periods over the last few months that made us hard for us to collaborate on stuff like this.

Additionally, we had to go through all of the votes as there were clear attempts to rig the outcome of the awards. We discounted votes that were obviously dishonest, e.g. 10 made in a short span of time and all for one option (picrel is a screenshot of some of these so you can see what we mean). This changed the outcome of Favorite Cow and Best Picmix. In total, we had to discount 43 votes, leaving 426 genuine ones.

For the Lolcow Awards 2025 we will use the on site polling system we implemented so it won't happen again!

See the last thread for outcome of the first poll and for a description of how voting works.

60% of users have voted for some kind of persistent VPN ban and the purpose of this runoff poll is to determine how that should be implemented. We have limited the voting options to the 3 that had the most votes from those in favour of a persistent ban.

If a VPN ban is put in place we will:
- Create exceptions for sensitive/legally risky threads (e.g. ex-muslim thread, TERF/anti-trans threads)
- Create a way for users in countries that block lolcow.farm (e.g. Russia, China) to bypass the ban
- Monitor the health of the site and consider removing the ban if it is detrimental to it

Threads on boards that are not subject to a VPN ban may have a thread-specific ban implemented if they have a problem with ban evaders or being raided by scrotes.

The poll will automatically close in one week on the 26th of March and the option with the most votes will be implemented ASAP.

How should VPN banning work?

This poll is closed.

  • Banned on all boards: 91 votes (35.3%)
  • Banned on /ot/, /g/ and /m/: 65 votes (25.2%)
  • Banned only on /ot/: 102 votes (39.5%)

Total votes: 258

No. 91948

"Banned only on /ot/" is the winning poll option, and that is how we intend to implement the VPN ban. We are aware that once again 60% of users voted for a wider ban, but any further runoff polls would be ridiculous, especially as 200 fewer users voted in this one.

If the rulebreaking users on /ot/ just shit up other boards then we will consider expanding the ban, but hopefully that is not the case.

We will create a follow up post in a few days when the ban goes live with more details on how it will work and how users who need a VPN to access the site can contact us to get a workaround.

So many phonefag newfags lately who only save reaction pic thumbnails and keep reposting them.

No. 92016

almost the entire site has been a massive shithole lately and it genuinely makes me wonder if there's only one or maybe two active jannys. after the VPN ban is implemented, i won't be suprised when the /ot/fags ruin the rest of the site until they're the only ones on here anymore. just look at the state of this place right now compared to a year or two ago

No. 92020

>>92016
Why don't you ever stop to think that maybe the VPN shitters are the ones ruining the site? I've quit this place several times because ban evading retards always derail threads into oblivion. The culture has changed because more people are ban-evading than ever before and it's impossible to have real discussion without infighting taking up 1/3 of the thread. You used to have to think about what you post, but now people just post garbage and then ban evade when they get banned.

>Why don't you ever stop to think that maybe the VPN shitters are the ones ruining the site?
did you read my post? maybe i didn't make myself clear enough. i voted for a full VPN ban on the entire site. that's what my post was about. when the VPN ban goes through on /ot/ only, the losers you spoke about will migrate and make the rest of the site just as insufferable. i get what you're saying and i agree with you. the slowest threads are the ones with better quality discussion while most of the site is shit-slinging, bait, and ban-evading & however few moderators we have are never around enough to keep up with it

No. 92022

>>92021
Sorry nonnie, I misinterpreted what you were saying and thought you were that one anon always advocating for deleting /ot/ or whatever. I agree with you entirely, especially the point about the slowest threads being the ones with the least shitflinging. Because all the infighting threads get bumped so frequently people rarely see or reply to the other threads.

Excuse my autism, but I've noticed posters sometimes seem to mix up the following terms. I see this on other websites, too. This is understandable, since the terms are vague and not widely known.

These are subjective to some degree, but here is how I personally define them.

Samefagging

This is a general term for deceptive posting. It can mean the following things:

- Taking on more than one persona in a thread to make it seem like your view has wider support than it actually does. This is also called sockpuppeting. May involve replying to your own posts agreeing with yourself, or significantly changing writing style to make it seem like a different person is also giving similar positive or negative remarks. Particularly dedicated samefags may try to use a different IP address as well.

- Making multiple posts back-to-back, without obvious indication they were all made by you. This is not always deceptive, though is often annoying.

- May also apply to general false or omitted self-identification. For example, if the subject of a /pt/ thread started secretly and anonymously posting in her own thread to disagree with people or defend herself, this may also be called samefagging. There may be a better term for this, but if there is, I'm not yet aware of it.


Self-posting

Posting about yourself in any way, whether anonymous or self-identifying. For example: posting a picture of yourself, linking to your own profiles, giving excessive details about your life, etc. Self-posts are completely acceptable in some threads and some contexts, but they usually are frowned upon otherwise. You shouldn't try to make yourself stand out on an anonymous board. Valid spellings also include self posting and selfposting.


Vendetta / vendettafag / vendetta-posting

Posting about someone as if you are a random person who happens to dislike them, when in reality you have some sort of personal connection or grudge. Often involves samefagging. Generally has no relation to self-posting, except in cases of self-victimization. In cases where you present the chan with an implicit or explicit "call to action", to further your vendetta, this is also called a personal army (PA) request. It often involves misleading or deceptive information.

An example of a vendetta post would be arguing with a girl on social media, and later posting a thread calling her a whore. Asking people to send things to her parents, or falsely claiming she's violated some site's terms of service and requesting people report her, or including her address and phone number in the post, would be a vendetta post as well as a personal army request.

It's for "funny" content about the cow, not just any content. E.g. a selfie is not milk.

No. 91496

>>91490
it depends on the selfie. but milk is just anycl cringy actions of cows. doesn't need to be funny. the definition is broad and we need to post random selfies as part of archiving. admin is just pushing the milk and "don't post x" shit because it tips the bandwidth when in reality we should be posting as much as possible incase things get deleted and brought up later in a different context.

This poll is now closed, click here to see the runoff poll

If a VPN ban is put in place, we will create exceptions for threads where users in certain countries may be legally at risk for posting in them (e.g. ex-muslim thread, TERF/anti-trans threads). We are also aware that users in some countries can’t access the site due to government censorship (e.g. Russia, China) and we will create a way for those users to contact us and get a workaround for the VPN ban so that they can continue to use the site. Regardless of the outcome, VPN posting may be temporarily banned sitewide during raids.

You should vote from the device and browser that you generally use to post. You must have post history from before the poll was created to be eligible to vote, this is to ensure that the poll cannot be rigged. If you regularly clear your browser storage, or the browser you use does this automatically, it may prevent you from being able to vote by interfering with your posting history.

If you have already voted, submitting again will not count your vote, but you will be able to see an up to date count of the results. You can only submit the form once per minute in order to prevent abuse.

The poll will automatically close in one week on the 18th of March. If there is no clear majority, a runoff poll will begin on the 19th of March. The results of the poll will be implemented when polling finishes.

How should VPN banning work? - RESULTS
  • Banned on all boards: 98 votes (21.8%)
  • Banned on all boards, excluding the hidden board: 30 votes (6.7%)
  • Banned on all off topic boards and on an ad hoc basis for individual milk board threads: 62 votes (13.8%)
  • Banned on /ot/ and on an ad hoc basis for threads on all other boards: 80 votes (17.8%)
  • Banned only on an ad hoc basis: 179 votes (39.9%)

Total votes: 449
