It's the influx of newgen Twitter/TikTok users that have no idea the original purpose of lolcow and how imageboards are used. Retarded gen alpha and zoomers can't handle not stating their opinion or god forbid, lurking for a couple days to understand the culture. It is why the Skirby thread, despite it being open for months now, is consistently red-texted and the quality of the posts never improves.

A nice, cosy, official banner thread to submit your new banners for the benefit and expansion of the website.

Banners must be 300x100

Banners should mention the site directly or indirectly. "lolcow.farm" written, a picture of a cow, etc.

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.

Personalityfag who fixated on the protagonist from a loli rape porn VN and did gayops with her discord server full of retards. Also she posted her selfies and she kept censoring her chin for some reason kek. Someone else could probably explain it better.

Like anon stated above, personalityfag whose husbando is a rapist from an old degenerate VN that only moids seem to be interested in. She claims to have had a mental breakdown in which she proceeded to get naked on camera, upload her nudes on lolcow and even write "I want Rance to rape me" on a paper while posing with them. No idea how a mental breakdown makes you strip naked, pose for the camera and upload nudes on an imageboard kekw. She is also very obnoxious in general, she was active on this 4chan esque dating app and made it pretty obvious it's her by namedropping husbandos and interests she was quite vocal about so when people recognized her and started making fun of her, she spazzed out like she got actually doxxed or something.

It took significantly longer than expected due to more issues and incompatibilities with the board software than anticipated. However, the upgrades were ultimately a success and this clears the way for migrating the site to new software in the future!

In response to the recent influx of CSAM posts, a new method of blocking CSAM posters has been added. There is a very small chance this may block and ban a legitimate post, if this happens to you please appeal your ban and email admin@lolcow.farm if the ban is not lifted within 24 hours.

They ban in meta pretty often now. Don't forget that movie thread anon got permabanned last summer for posting in meta. And now they allow certain anons to basically personalityfag and start infights here. Only the nonas responding to it will get banned.

>>82779
Admin needs to clarify the definition of these words then, because speculation and normal discussion is no longer even tolerated in many threads. If the janny were at least consistent and would ban the anons who start infights or post retarded ad hominems and non-con wk posts, then it would at least seem less biased. I'd rather read anons speculating than have some rule that everything a cow says is automatically the truth. Tinfoil is speculation without any foundation at all, it's batshit crazy crap, not normal use of powers of deduction.

>>82777
I also think talking about cow threads being 'necessary' or not is pretty weird. There isn't a finite amount of resources. Don't like a thread? Don't read it. It's silly to expect an entire imageboard to change because you don't like some thread or you personally like the cow. I don't get why this is hard, there are so many threads I think are boring or nitpicky or mean; I just don't read them or get involved.
It just seems like you want to minimod what anyone talks about - why? Genuine question, do you like any thread on LC? What's a "good" cow thread to you?

Might be niche but I read the entire pro-ana scumbags threads this past summer. They have a bit of a rough start as farmers were trying to differentiate the exact scope of these threads (it started off more as insane BPD Instagrammers general) but it was a really fascinating read. It was interesting to see how online culture changed the topics of discussion over time, sometime around COVID it all became Tiktok-based and harder to find decent milk to the point where these threads are basically dead now. The milk almost completely stops after Cece left the internet unfortunately
