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.

>>95297
My personal favorites are the early Shayna threads when she was popular on tumblr, just because the asks seeing how narcissistic she was claiming she would be famous and rich by 27 are pretty funny in retrospect. She was also a huge tumblr mean girl. But in terms of best milk in a single thread alone, the pysch ward/fupa reveal was probably the best one. >>>/snow/988449

No. 95301

Peacockfeather/Sindy and Asherbee (shit brooch) will always be immortalized as classics for me. Unfortunately I think a lot of the formers threads were deleted due to the rampant self defense posting (98% of the hilarity), unless my search is glitching. There's still a handful of Asherbee threads across snow and w, thankfully.

Actually kinda of sad how many og cow threads were deleted and lost to time, or details never properly archived from CGL. No matter how spergy the nitpicks were, they were little capsules of history.

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.

The site will be in read-only mode for approximately 12 hours between 8:00 and 20:00 GMT on the 14th of January. This is for necessary maintenance, as we are moving the site to a new server.

We have made the decision to transition from a virtual private server (VPS) to a dedicated server. There are several reasons for this, the main one being improved stability. In recent months there have been several extended periods of downtime and performance degradation caused by issues with the shared hosting our current VPS uses, and moving to a dedicated server will prevent this. It should also slightly improve the site's performance, and allow us to use a RAID configuration for the site’s drives which comes with its own benefits.

We have spent the last while working on this, which has delayed other updates to the site. Shortly after the site is back up, we will be moving forward with other necessary updates (e.g. the VPN ban and the Lolcow Awards). With regards to the VPN ban, we are implementing a way to host polls on-site to prevent anyone from being able to interfere with the results.

The site maintenance has been completed a little ahead of schedule, we have successfully moved to the new server! There may be some teething issues over the next few days, please report any bugs or other issues here:

We are glad that many of you enjoyed yesterday's April Fool's prank! It was a collaboration between the admins and farmhands and we had a lot of fun creating it.

As requested, we have made it available as a theme. At some point we'd like to update the scripts to make it less laggy, but for now we recommend only using it on desktop. Because it relies heavily on JS, you will need to refresh after selecting or deselecting the theme for now - we will automate this in the future.

The VPN ban has now gone live on /ot/. Any thread where VPN posting is blocked will have a small shield icon in the same area where the sticky/locked icons appear, picrel is how this icon looks. There is a description of what the icon means if you hover it. We have made exceptions for the Ex-Muslim and Gender Ideology Hate Threads in /ot/. The exception will apply automatically to newly created threads on those topics. If you believe there are other threads in /ot/ which need this exception, please post about it in the General Meta Discussion thread:
>>>/meta/65391

We have also made the decision to remove the autosage from the Dumbass Shit Thread, as we should now have more control over ban evasion on /ot/ and it attracting unintegrated/rulebreaking users will be less of a problem.

If you need a way around the VPN ban for any reason, e.g due to government censorship, or you are in a situation where posting without a VPN may put you in danger, please email us at admin@lolcow.farm and we will set up an exception for you.

No. 92487

Small VPN quality of life update: the maximum length for a ban on a VPN IP is now 1 week, and all previously permabanned VPN IPs are now unbanned.

It's been the Autism & ADHD thread since 2020. What's the point of making a thread specifically for anons with ADHD when they've already been using the Autism & ADHD thread for 4 years? Sometimes I swear you ADHD anons act more autistic than the actual autists

No. 92413

>>92412
What's the point of having a wagie thread when there's already an employment thread? Isn't the whole point of threads to make it so we can talk about different subjects in different places? Very few anons with ADHD are using the autism thread and whenever they try they get no replies because there's always active conversation about autism going on. The ADHD thread will likely be much slower than the autism thread but that's fine, at least we will be able to find each other's posts without having to wade through hundreds of autism posts. I genuinely do not understand the pushback here. Why do autistics need us nonautistics to use their thread instead of letting us have our own? I would think they'd rather we talked about things that have nothing to do with autism somewhere else.
