Yeah, I just came back from vaycay and realized I was banned from posting because of unpopular comments I made in the Melanie Martinez thread.
Your ban implied I didn't have any other posts associated with the IP, which is wrong because I not only posted prior the comment that got me banned, but after as well in the same thread. I was also posting about SHINee in the celeb gossip thread at the same time about Moon Boy's suicide.
After being on this site for a while, that because 3 little babies can't handle my opinion and call me a robot, you side with them and ban me on what basis?
Like, what guidelines are you using to determine if someone's a robot and more importantly, my comments weren't anything better or worse than other comments made earlier in the thread, and actually contributed to the topic , not just a circlejerk of "omg no one cares, must be a robot", and I was the one who got burned?
I wrote this back in the appeals comment, but you guys need to be transparent about this shit, because not only are you wrong on me being guy/robot, you're wrong on the IP tracking as well.
This /r9k/ boogeyman shit is getting annoying. It's no better than their autistic screeching about gender posting

I barely post here, due to real life commitments, but here goes.
People have accused lolcow of irrelevant, malicious and vendetta threads. The point of lolcows has never been to single out a person due to personality traits that deviate from normal, but due to bad behavior and outrageous responses by them. This is how I see a lolcow, as a person that is secretly being laughed out due to the outrageous behavior and their compulsive need to be correct no matter what and thus provide laughs at their own expense.
For example, the Penny Underbust thread is a wild-ride. Sure, she is a freaky fetish model who has no education and lives in nippon. In other words, chances are that is the only way she can make money. Yet the thread is 100% focused on how she has a freaky fetish body and as a plus size woman, can not have an eating disorder. I've followed Penny for a few years, and while she is weird, all there is to her is that she's an uneducated person who does fetish modelling to pay the bills but seems to loathe herself for the path she chose. You can find a dime a dozen of those in everyday life, no big deal.
Considering the Martina BIG thread was banned, who is a similar style fetish model who spouts just as weird fetish shit, why is the Penny Underbust thread allowed to exist?
I like the current admin, from my interactions with her, she seems very levelheaded and listens. I have no problem with the staff in general. I just wish the rules and guidelines enforced would stay consistent and stupid threads that offer no real content other than gawking would be taken care of. It was a refreshing thing to see Momo's thread be moved back into snow, it had derailed into variations of "wow, she is so fat, what a small head!".

I think we need a town hall meeting for the anons that care enough to get a concise definition of what "infighting", "nitpicking" and "cowtipping" is. We need these written clearly in the rules. If not, let's make a poll. As a main contributor (I know, I know wankfest) of the Momokun thread, I could agree with the first time because it really was a infested mess with summerfags. This time this was a VERY sudden decision on Admin's part and now everyone's confused. We went through 3 threads with nothing BUT milk. The only thing that I could see labeled as provocative was the whole charm debacle that anons decided to make into a project. If that was the issue, then we need a official reason WHY.

As a long time lurker, I've never been more confused about the logic behind a lot of these decisions. I imagine the silence from admin and farmhands is because they may be discussing it behind the scenes (if that is a thing)? Even so, they could clarify this just so everyone isn't left in the dark.
Really disappointed with how things are going overall.

>>4988So much this. Cows like Margo, Mira and Kiki haven't had actual milk in ages, and their threads haven't been moved to /snow/.

And now you tell me that Moo isn't a cow as well?
It's all so strange. Also, if you can ban people for 11 weeks for not saging, you can also ban them for infighting, derailing and nitpicking so it doesn't ruin the thread.

>>5020The Momokun threads will not resolve themselves with site staff swooping in to moderate when they feel like it but disappearing once we actually congregate in /meta/ to fix the problem.
I have been making an effort like other anons to report actual "infighting" (subjective at this point) and off topic discussion but no one has made an effort to delete or discipline. Moving from /pt/ to /snow/ has and did cause negative growth to the thread itself. While issuing different protocols to two different boards might make sense in a moderation aspect, it doesn't make sense to a population of the board who partake in Momokun threads and did cause widespread confusion.
For instance, since moving back to /snow/:
>people (presumably, not a mod so I don't know) getting kicked/banned for not saging when we were in /PT/ before. There was 0 grace period for people to realize the board has moved and that /snow/ is still a sage board. When was the news of the new sage rule going to be a site wide bulletin? /PT/ IS the main board advertised on the front page of the site, yaknow.
>people actually cowtipping because Moo caused a dry spell for herself after the twitter campaign started. This is a usual practice she does to let the dust clear but new fags won't know that.
>Not understanding individual thread culture is the problem. Mariah/Momokun is notorious for stealing from this board when she is feeling especially spicy. We started to watermark certain photoshopped images and "memes" because she's shady. We were warned doing so will advertise our board for newfags. Correct me if I'm wrong but I've seen YOUTUBE DRAMA CHANNELS refer to us (MaskedBabe, HereForTheTea2) and mention us by name on their social media. Are you going to talk to them? A watermark will not affect us if it's us protecting OUR work in the thread.
>reposting up the wazoo; people NOT reading the thread and posting doubles/older content. I could blame newfags or I could blame anons who get trigger happy and want to make fun of Momo for the same shit again. May I suggest we need to make a habit of saying "possible repost" and auto-sage if that is the case so we aren't bubbling up the thread with older material. I'm a offender of this too, I need to learn my own habits. Which brings me to this next tidbit…Is there a definitive reason for not being able to delete posts after a 30 minute window? This also comes with not requesting mods to remove it, as the error message says. Doesn't make sense to me. Tried to search it on here, can't find a answer.

And I still don't understand how Admin and farmhands have such bad communication that a thread can be moved from snow to pt, have new threads open, then Admin just swoop in and move the thread without an explanation after 9 days. Also the Admin not willing to take Momo's pic taking habit into account and make compromises on the watermark images is unreasonable too.

>Correct me if I'm wrong but I've seen YOUTUBE DRAMA CHANNELS refer to us (MaskedBabe, HereForTheTea2) and mention us by name on their social media. Are you going to talk to them? A watermark will not affect us if it's us protecting OUR work in the thread. We've never appreciated namedropping of any sort, we just expect farmers to know better than to direct newfags onto here. You would be surprised to see how much of derailment and infighting is caused by users who refuse to integrate and read the rules. Again, this is one of the reasons the moo thread was originally moved to /snow/ the first time.
>May I suggest we need to make a habit of saying "possible repost" and auto-sage We tend to discourage spoon feeding milk but reposts are fine if it's relevant to the discussion. It would usually be saged but there is no more sage in /pt/ so users shouldn't be penalized for it.
>Is there a definitive reason for not being able to delete posts after a 30 minute window? This also comes with not requesting mods to remove it, as the error message says.Most chan boards do not allow posts to be deleted, it's a feature the board has to correct mistakes or sensitive information. Staff can delete content that breaks the rules or is possibly of illegal nature.
No. 5030
>>5029>I'm not quite sure what this obsession is with not bringing new people (new fags) to this boardThe definition of cowtipping does not equal inviting newfags. Newfags can be a problem but those that read the rules and are familiar with chan culture integrate quite well.
Now cowtipping can bring in new members but are you taking into account what kind? Are you accounting whiteknights and trolls? Derailment and infighting degrades the quality of the threads when an influx of newfags come in, and take into account how they found their way on here. Do you really want a bunch of twitter users coming in at a rapid rate?
Newfags/whiteknights aren't even the bigger issues with cowtipping, we don't want another kaka.
>Not everyone is going to sperg up a thread or spam it into oblivion.Obviously, but have you noticed how often spamchans and moo whiteknights post during happenings?

And couldn't you have thrown a screenshot or something and say "hey this and this ended up outside of lolcow so stop watermarking"? I don't recall any mention by Admin or farmhands saying they saw watermarked images outside of lolcow when giving warnings, why is the fact that pics are (or "were", if you did put a stop to it as you have said) spreading on Twitter only came up now?
Look, all I want is an explanation to Admin and farmhands' decisions and actions. What is the reason Momo's thread was moved back to snow? Was it nitpicking? Watermarked images? I find it hard to believe it's just a 9 day old mistake when we haven't been given a decent explanation here in meta for so long, and I ended up with more questions. What's the criteria for a thread to be in pt? What counts as nitpicking? And where are the widespread watermarked images on Twitter?
I'm not convinced that Momo's thread should be moved back to snow, or that the Admin should be this cryptic about decisions, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, just give us an explanation so we'll at least communicate better on this, less tinfoiling, less contradictions.
>>5026I'd like to make another argument to this: if Momo visting threads on her own accord since thread 1 is still cowtipping since we know she sees it, and we know the Ostrengas visits threads, then wouldn't posting in Kiki or Dakota's threads also count as cowtipping? You'd say my logic is fucked up, then please point out the flaw in my logic. I'm hella confused about this among other things.

You're making decisions while we carry about our usual business and when we finally notice its a HUGE backpedal for answers that arent proven by staff on this site.

I was temp banned just for asking if discussing sams live stream was allowed, when another farmer told me to test it and see if I’d get banned I replied saying that I’ve never been banned before and didn’t want to risk it.
The irony here is that I was told I was ‘whinning’ for genuine concerns relating to the ridiculous over moderation that is killing this site, and then banned.
Does that not prove everyone’s point and validate their concerns with posting anything unless it’s 100% drama related? Asking a simple question and then being told you’re whining and then banned is fucking ridiculous.
Admin please do something about the awful over modding.

I'm not sure who is at fault anymore
Maybe Admin is just an autist who doesn't know how to run a board or has some really shit mods and janitors. It's like no one knows how to run an imageboard anymore.
Lolcow has turned into the office complex of imageboards, no one knows what's going on anymore and the seniors don't have a clue either
What exactly are the rules anymore? Specific IPs are allowed run wild while others are getting banned for non-issues
If you keep banning like simpletons then this board will sink like the Titanic, it's already hit the iceberg quite frankly
Lighten up with the banhammers, even worrying about a banhammer openly is resulting in bans here
>>5478It's not so much about a 5 minute ban but being banned in the first place that's the issue
Admin and Mods here are too sensitive
No. 5487
>>5485Lmao how was I being extra or derailing?
I literally just asked if sams livestreams were allowed to be discussed in the onion livestream thread and was banned which PROVES mine and everyone else’s point that the moderation here is a complete fucking joke. Like the other anon said, it’s not about the five minute ban, it’s that I was temp banned for asking if something was okay to discuss instead of just getting a straight answer.
The mods are sensitive, ban happy, and on a power trip it’s embarrassing what this site has become.

At this point, I can't see why Admin/Farmhand would acknowledge an email when they haven't managed to sort the ongoing tech issue or bothered to reply to the multiple messages I've sent via the reporting system.
Admin/Farmhand
Any chance of sorting this out or not? My ban appears to have been lifted yet my screen is still in reverse? If I post on the thread I'm sure the Mod will accuse me of being Kelly again, along with someone else's IP address along with another fucking ban. Anyone else having problems?

Someone pls get the farmhands to simmer down and stop banning/warning/closing threads???

>>5547You were permabanned through multiple ips because of your extreme ban evasion. Take it to the admin via email and stop necroing threads.

And yes I know there is a ‘stream thread’ but posting in the main thread that she is live so people know to move the discussion over there isn’t ban worthy
Also, no one is acting above the rules? The rules are just incredibly random and vague

Farmhand
I updated my router on Saturday, so that's only 2 IPs, since Saturday. When banning me, I've been shown other anons IP and accused of being the cow - you sent me her IP or what? I was given permission to ban evade. I have not even ban evaded. I've asked for help, but you guys don't, wont or cannot fix the technical problems. Posting on the thread to ask admin/farmhand questions because that's the only way to see if they have left a message or lifted a ban. Or am I missing something?
You say that here is the best place to discuss tech issues easily - it obviously isn't! You don't fix the problems, you say you'll pass messages on to the relative farmhand to fix the issue but nothing happens, just an apology and a promise to fix it that day. They don't even respond to questions asked through reporting system. That's why I asked a question in the thread.
I can see that other anons are having problems with the lack of admin and ban-happy mods.
Lolcow was fun until 18 days ago when YOU had a problem with your 'accidental router ban with the permaban system you use for incels'. How many other anons has this affected? You're staff don't appear to be following the same rules. Why has this been so difficult? I've just read an earlier post where you said permabanned is very rare, haha. I've accumulated a vast array of them, all because of YOUR mistakes. With running such a large imageboard, with so many users, I'd expect you to able to fix a small issue instead of it snowballing to this. Necroing threads as a last resort to speak with a staff member. Come on Lolcow, you're better than this right?

Maybe anons can create a public chat where they can sperg and it sort of could be like live posting?

Their full legal names have been posted.
2.1 Do not share the full legal name of a minor. First name(s) only unless the subject is 18+.

>>5757supposedly their excuse is that not all bans/warnings are public and if multiple posts are made by a single offender only one of the posts will be marked
but it really gives the wrong impression to literally everyone else. I was really hoping that when this admin took over there would be more transparency/something could be done about that and things could be labeled better, but it's been nothing but the opposite
feels like it's only a matter of time before this admin steps down and has been slowly pulling their feet out of the cow pool. which may not be true at all, current admin might be busting ass behind the scenes, but for some reason feels it's better to do so unseen, so there's no way for us to gauge the actual amount of work that is or isn't done/rules that are or are not enforced, etc.
it all seems counter productive to me, since it'll only add on to the amount of reports if something isn't marked as having been dealt with. also kills user morale/desire to report shit in the first place if it seems like nothing is being done. doesn't help that none of the shit here is ever addressed (beyond backhanded, half-answered questions that make it seem like the farmhands are sick of their job and have become resentful)

Our hell week needs a hell week for it's hell week. I can think of 5 threads off the top of my head right now that seem to be infested either by self posters or a very specific breed of newfag (Both?)
No. 5836
>>5831Yeah, I've also seen anons who state things like "asians have horse hair and flat faces" or "black women look manly" and not be (visible) banned, while others who are just defending their race in the same thread gets slapped with a big red text. It just feels biased.
If race-baiting really is against the rules, why isn't the thread that straight up shits on asian women banned? Not to mention the the anti k-pop thread isn't even anti k-pop half the time, just circle jerking about how ugly asians look.
No. 5842
>>5841I've been reporting extra in general all around since I want to do my part in desiring a hellweek, they're probably backed up.
That or they're banning at such a speed they've completely forgone redtext for most situations, so we just aren't seeing as the behind the scenes. F-fingers crossed, r-right guys?

Farmhands, I've dug through semi-old Onision threads from 1-2 years ago recently and I noticed some people using emojis like ^^ and :). No red brackets for bans or tempbans for that at the time.
Now I see people getting tempbans for using :D and the likes. I'd like to ask out of interest why you started being harsher on that. I know it's in /info to not type obnoxiously, but it seems there's been a shift towards a harsher stance.
I'm not hating or trying to stir up shit, I'm genuinely curious. Thank you!
No. 5847
>>5845It has always been against the rules to use emoticons. Those people were likely banned just as quick as they are now.
A lot more bans happen then you guys see, we do not redtext them all because they aren't serious enough. Some mods use it a bit more frequently then others though.
Origins of lolcow are from 4chan, a lot of image board culture is still part of this board. Integrating new users has become more difficult.
No. 5859
>>5855It was locked temporarily because reports were getting completely backed up.
It is back up now, but it will not stay up if it continues the way it was.
As for the race stuff, a warning was put in the thread, if any more race fighting happens then lengthy bans will be given out.

Can I ask why was this person banned? This is not white-knighting, it was literally stating an opinion. Disagreeing with another anon about a cow's looks. Why exactly are you not allowed to have an opinion that is unpopular in a thread?
It's not like saying something positive about a snowflake's appearance is not allowed, because it happens occasionally and people don't get banned for it. I'm just saying.. cases like this one looks like abuse of power by a mod who banned because they felt like it, not because any rules were broken.
No. 5862
>>5861What other purpose does this post serve than to start infighting?
If you see nitpicking you report, not start a shitstorm. We do ban people who nitpick.
This is a huge example why red texting every ban is bad.
I didn't ban that person, but it was most likely a short warning.
No. 5868
>>5866Why does every ban need to be outted or explained to people uninvolved? They receive a message from a mod saying what they did.
This will not be changed. Before maybe 1 year ago seeing a red text post was extremely rare.
>>5867We have a rule page and an info page, it's quite simple to go read and learn how the site works.
They can also lurk more.
Don't be too scared to be banned, most of the time it is a short warning and it won't pass 3 hours too often, a lot are even only 1 second long. Of course, unless you repeat the same offense despite warning.
All I can really say is I can talk with staff about it. Thanks for the patience.
No. 5874
>>5873Yeah I mean people might bitch at first about unfair bans or too many bans or whatever, but as long as there was a reason given then even regular anons would back the farmhands up and give you less to worry about - like what just happened up thread.
I do think in the end admin is admin and it's up to you what gets done with the site - you obviously see and know more about what works from the backend than we do. But other than the possibility of extra work and some initial poopy pants'd rulebreakers, I can only see benefits in increased red text.
Even though people should lurk, learn board culture and read the rules, we're seeing time and time again that they don't. For some that may mean they won't listen to bans or red text, period. But I really agree with others that it'd help assimilate newfags and help reign in others. If a time comes where there's enough available man power to at least try an increase in explained red text bans, I can't see why not to test it…?
No. 5882

No. 5898
>>5897that's not in the rules technically. there's no issue with saying something like that, and people are getting bans for asking if something is reportable, without any intent to report. it's not my fault if you are too autistic to realize that joking isn't a threat.
>5c Do not alert a subject to their thread or take any other action to lead them to lolcow.farm (cowtipping).
>Do not contact a subject's family.>Do not use lolcow.farm to crusade against a cow (not your personal army).>Do not organize raids on twitter, twitch or other social media.>Do not brag or announce having personal contact or interactions with a cow.joking doesn't violate the rules at all. also, nice ESL, you'd think a mod would know how to speak properly since it's their job to know how english works so they can interpret rules.

triggering mods to be more ban happy over shit that wouldn't get banned in other threads.
No. 5908
>>5903>>5906Meh, I think it can technically fall under harassment as it would be bothering her out of personal malice. And for Moo irl, any outside interference would certainly be viewed as harassment.
You could also call it encouraging cowtipping, mostly in relation to 5c (crusading against).
Asking "can we do x?" makes it seem like the poster is going to do x. They could have worded it better.
I don't care, just abuse or harassment is generally used as a blanket term in modding (in my experience). Sorry for putting in my two cents.

No. 5914
>>5913sorry you're too autistic to realize that "avoid using emojis" under a section about rules implies you'll get banned.
also, all the bans are done manually, so of course mods aren't going to ban you for accidentally making an emoji. i swear.
No. 5915
>>5913are you unironically this stupid?
lolcow might have roots in 4chan culture but that doesn't mean we have to do everything 4chan does. emoji use is a big indicator of newfags who didn't lurk, and if you couldn't even believe that from seeing it listed in the fucking rules/rules and info, then there's nothing to be said but for your ass to lurk moar. Getting red text for emoji use is probably the most COMMON ban I've seen on lolcow, so how you didn't catch on is beyond me

me getting banned for 635847 for """blogposting" or whatever when i was replying to 634214 seems ridiculous. the difference between calling someone out for reaching, and blogposting should not be 1st person pronouns, if i would have said you, or "people" i don't feel i'd have gotten gotten banned. it's not infighting to point out someone's reasoning is fucking stupid. also, if anyone else was banned they should have been redtexted as well, and redtexting my post in general shows bad modding.
i really really hope some new rules on redtext are implemented because mods should be using them as a site feature, not like whiny autists.
No. 5939
>>5935what you did
is blogposting
no one gives a shit that you have one set of sheets and how frequently you clean them
if you hadn't been banned for blogposting, you should've been banned for infighting over something trivial and retarded
or even better, just for not sageing
so looking at that SS I can imagine literally 3 reasons you should have been banned, seems pretty justified
No. 5940
>>5935i think the biggest issue was the fact that you didn't sage. bumping the thread just to talk about washing
your sheets seems unnecessary. it also seemed like you were picking a fight with anon over something super petty and personal, so again sage was needed. the post had nothing to do with the thread, altough you were right lbr. it seems fair that you got a short ban and now can post again. your post wasn't terribly spergy or blogposty, just unnecessary.
the
(no one cares) redtext was right.
No. 5942
>>5941I'm feeling rambly so this is going to be one hell of a tl;dr timeline.
I'd say the rule changes were a more gradual coming about, each new rule sort of in accordance with different happenings or newfag floods (btw, if you missed it, I personally find the 'spergchan' drama involving kiki kannibal to be the most juicy happening over the years and recommend looking into it). Some claims of legal action against lolcows/admins seemed to have swayed hands a few times, I believe especially when it came to doxxing family members/children.
The biggest changes definitely came to the end of original admins stay (you could tell he was getting tired of his position/lolcow in general). 2nd admin ended up doing some doxxing herself via discord and being petty or something (I didn't really pay attention to that fiasco) and I think consequently stepped down (someone can correct me here), leading to current admin.
each overhaul meant a new batch of mods, as far as I know, which also lead to rule implementation-changes. I
think current admin ended up making their own team entirely, but again, hazy on the accuracy there.
Anyway, by the time current admin came on board, lolcow was in pretty big disarray. raids and cowtips and other junk had caused hordes of newfags and tons of attention hungry self-posting, and so new admin began their reign with heavy hellweeks (which had been implemented previously with mostly success, but basically - weeks at a time where farmhands ban extra heavy to wipe out the piles of trash that've failed to integrate). A lot of rules came from problems shitposters consistently brought about that non-stop derailed threads. Public "Townhalls" were very common with og and 2nd admin (where everyone would discuss current issues and solutions – err, sort of - via chatroom). So lots of things were put to vote and turned into rules from that.
With new (current) admin's hellweeks beginning to get things back in order rule-wise, the site's host increasingly shit up all over the place. So admin came up with an alternative lolcow meant to be used to post milk when the main site was down. this alternative lolcow, unfortunately, ended up becoming a spammy-retard haven for people who did not enjoy the new ban-heavy moderation of regular lolcow. these 'refugees' would 'hide milk' from normal lolcow, talk shit about lolcow, and talk shit about the staff/rule enforcement. eventually their spewage leaked into the main site and caused more problems, leading to admin having to take down alternative-lolcow and then create more rules to get rid of their shitposting all over the main site once they were forced to crawl back here and lash out.
more shit happened at some point before all this where spoony (as always) got out of hand and sent a bunch of fucking robots over here because original admin banned her from shit posting and humble bragging all over the site (she had apparently amassed more posts than any single user of lolcow). more rules were implemented to deal with that shit storm. munchie and ana threads became popular after some time, and brought in a whole bunch of retards from myproana and instagram along those lines, who endlessly blogposted and shit all over, and that brought along even /more/ rules. As always, fags from PULL and tumblr and other such havens would come in droves when cowtipping or crosslinking came about, leading to even
more rules. Eventually, this also lead to an increase of regular users that were not originally from 4chan – meaning the overall userbase began to have different opinions on 4chan culture (granted, too, most of those around for old 4chan have probably grown up and had moral shifts). Hence you get a lot of WKy shit and freak outs about 'sexual harrassment someone looked at someone's butt
triggered where's my hugbox' etc.
recently there has also been a summer influx and a dip in posting quality, hence everyone here screaming for 'hellweek' the past however many posts.
anyway, I hope someone else comes along and sums this shit up for you better so you don't have to struggle reading this… but, maybe it still gives a little insight. if you want more highlights/a general idea of things, skimming through /meta/ probably summarizes/clarifies the basic happenings between each admin reign better than I just did

No. 5964
>>5963Agreed

The ban couldn't have been all that long considering how fast they said it expired vs when it was posted.
>>5967Those rules exist because the vast majority of long term, consistent farmers didn't want to deal with your newfag sperg posts. If you spent any actual time on lolcow you'd realize how annoying those things have become.

No. 5979
>>5977Most bans are just time-outs that let you know that you fucked up and are so short that it shouldn't be a big deal. You could go to make something to eat and be unbanned by the time you come back. It's not that big of a deal.
>>5978Also agree.
No. 5980
>>5978Yeah, I understand exactly where you and other logical posters are coming from. I've always been one of the anons who want more clear, consistent red text bans. But the farmhands up thread have said before there's too much of a rift between people wanting that and people complaining about it altogether.
Personally, I think even if we were to remove red text entirely there'd still be hugbox retards like the one that was getting mad about emojis, armchairing, etc. To me, even for minor offenses, these bans are justified because – whether you're normally a nonshitposter or not - you're doing something that regularly offsets the thread content. I've been reasonably banned for things like infighting before and not only was the duration of the ban short, but I could still read lolcow (just not post). Mods have said before ban severity will also depend on your past transgressions. If 'quality posters' are getting their jimmies rustled that they can only read lolcow for a few hours or a day, then I don't even know what the fuck to say to them. Stiff upper lip, I guess?
That all said, I do still agree it'd be good for another survey or town hall so everyone has a chance to voice their opinions.

You guys act like such whiny babies too and fight with anyone who doesn't want to see you point out that men rape and kill whenever a man is mentioned. And you shoehorn in the fact that men have negative opinions about any subject. It spreads all around the site. No one cares if "men think shoop is real" or "men think fat girls are a fetish" or whatever.

Me saying that the site could use without you guys reeeing about men in every fucking thread that you can mention men in (see the chubby farmer thread, unpopular opinion thread, ideal body thread etc.) and wanting the man-hate thread which is just a fucking invitation for neckbeards and shit to be autosaged is not saying you should all be fucking banned.

>>6029First of all, I haven't posted in those threads in months, I only lurk. Auto-sage kills threads, so when it dies again it will infest the other threads.

And again, chill out. Why are you so pressed? This is not that big of a deal, crybaby.

No. 6036
>>6033I agree with this, and honestly I don't see them keeping it to one thread. They already brought it to other threads, claiming it was because their thread was on autosage, but they haven't kept it to that thread even then. Shortly after they made the new thread, someone made that shitty "men are more racist" thread that had to be locked, and they were having conversations in the unpopular opinions thread.
If it's only a few posters and they can keep it together, sure give them their own thread, but they haven't proven that yet. I agree with the anon saying that men are mentioned anytime they can be mentioned, which is really bizarre.
No. 6038
>>6017Just ban the anons replying to bait to set an example. Also perhaps remove the bait posts? "men r gud" and "ur just as bad" or "why haet men

No. 6039
>>6023So what do you suggest then? If removing or autosaging the thread makes the users shit up other threads (this is why the new one was made), but not removing it bothers your innocent virgin eyes, and apparently doesn't even contain the man hate, what do you want?
I think it's clear that what anon is getting at is that we should just ban whoever has any slight complaint about 50% of the population.
No. 6040
>>6037Agreed. I really agree with the last point, the focus on men is a bit out of hand, especially in the way it's done here. They always just post random shit they've seen online and then act like it's some kind of deep commentary. Like, what's the point then? It's just a bunch of cherry picked comments and anons going "see this is what men are
really like" then trying to shit on people who disagree calling them "handmaidens" or accusing them of being men. Hell, even now the thread isn't full of "totally constructive criticism", it's annoying circlejerking about how all the people who bitch about it are clearly males posters. And when you point out that they are acting the same as groups they bitch about, they make poor excuses, and claim that "men always do this on the rest of the internet and no one complains!" And they refuse to listen.
I always thought that not allowing men to post was fine, because the types of men who like chan sites are fucking annoying since they've had no experience with other humans, let alone women. But the women who are the exact same people as those men are just as fucking annoying.
No. 6041
>>6038>I don't see why they should not be taken as off topic derailing and removed on sight.Because the mods actually don't care about your thread and are using it to contain you so the rest of the site doesn't get ruined. You guys don't seem to notice that you're being treated as a disease, like incels on 4chan, and for the exact same reasons even down to your justifications.

Ban the bigger trouble-makers, and if the majority of users are still baiting, taking the bait, going outside their thread, derailing other topics, etc, then get rid of it all together and continue to ban the refugee-spillage til they accept the topic isn't welcome here because it couldn't be contained. Same with any other cow or snow related banned topic, where we were forced to ban it because it just couldn't be done without maximum spergy autism.

>>6043I agree. I wouldn't care what they were doing, but they seep into any thread on /ot/ and /g/.
I'm not even saying they shouldn't be allowed their opinion, but they always clap back at people about it claiming everyone is a handmaiden/tranny/male if they disagree. They're just as bad as when male posters come on to the boards.
No. 6045
>>6044>le "just as bad as menXD" meme Stating facts about male violence statistics and reciting how most women have to live in fear for all their lives is comparable to men reeing about not getting laid. Okay.
And yes, if you're getting your panties in such a bunch over one thread that leaks to maybe two or three /ot/ threads (just like k-pop, gendercrit, ana-chan, racebaiting, veganism and other topics) you sound very, very male or handmaiden-y.
No. 6046
>>6045Not that anon but
>k-pop, gendercrit, ana-chan, racebaiting, veganism and other topicsNobody appreciates these subjects leaking into other threads either. Just because they occasionally do doesn't mean it's okay for you to be doing it too, and out of those types of posters, many different anons here are saying that you guys are the most distracting of them all.
>women have to live in fear for all their lives is comparable to men reeing about not getting laidThis isn't what anon was saying.
Nobody is comparing what women have to deal with to men and saying you're "as bad as men" for addressing women's issues.
This guilt tripping attempt isn't going to endear us to your perspective btw.
Anon clearly meant you're "as bad as men" in how you're
treating other farmers who criticize your conduct or interact in a way that isn't 100% agreeing with you.
You accuse anons of being males/trannies/handmaidens and acting like the entire website is your personal circlejerk.

>>6045 has about other people getting away with doing it. Or how men all over the internet can be annoying spergs so it's fine for anons to do it too? No, it's just as annoying as when men do it. The only people who let shit men to air their dirty laundry about women or whatever are other shit men.
A lot of us want to go on /ot/ and /g/ to shoot the shit with other women about stuff we can't talk about with our SOs or irl friends, and many of us don't want to be constantly reminded about how shitty men are. Bitching in every thread about shitty incels or neckbeards or misogynists is annoying, same as when people bitch about trannies in threads. It has little to do with not wanting people to be mean to the poor little men, and more to do with the fact that the posters who bring it up have to shove their nose into everything and try to swing the conversation into misandry. And anyone who says anything gets accused of being a handmaiden or man or tranny.
Just like

It might just feel that way (such as with bans being more visible now without actually increasing the number of bans) but it does lead one to question what's going on with recruitment of staff.
No. 6129

In one thread you can get banned for circle jerking how beautiful someone is for derailing, but in another it's perfectly fine and acceptable.

No. 6133
>>6132
>What specifically about moderation feels inconsistent? Rules were recently updated for clarification and stickied threads were added to /pt/ and /snow/ for user friendliness. Well, I got a redtext ban a couple of weeks ago for blogposting (I wasn't, I was responding to a comment another anon made about a cow filing a discrimination lawsuit and it had nothing to do with my personal experiences) and then when I attempted to post in a thread I received a message saying that I needed to "tone down the wall of text" and showing me the post which was redtexted for blogposting. So that's confusing and feels inconsistent.
I'm also not sure where in the rules it says that posts shouldn't exceed a certain length, (I could just be missing it) but that also seems very subject to the whims of a particular farmhand.
I've also seen other anons get redtext bans for "blogging" when their post has nothing to do with their personal experiences and is a response to something another anon said. Honestly, from what I'm seeing, redtext bans for blogging just seem to be a covert way of farmhands saying "fuck your opinion."
>When the moo thread was sent to snow it was due to anons cowtipping and crusading on twitter.That was never clearly communicated to users posting in that thread.
From what I recall at the time, a farhmand stated that the Moo thread had devolved into nitpicking and OT posts, had no real milk, and that people were tired of seeing it clogging up PT. And yet, the Vicky Shingles and Dasha threads are just as nitpicky, OT, and lacking milk at times, but apparently their spot on PT is secure. So that's another example where moderation has felt inconsistent and based more on farmhand's personal biases than the rules.
I'm not saying the staff should have to justify every ban or use of redtext, but

I get the impression that recent admin brought in a bunch of friends to mod and they’re treating the site as something they own and allow others to use - as opposed to being current custodians of a user-driven imageboard. It’s like users are meant to be obeying them, instead of staff being there to serve the users.

>>6263I got here shortly after the staminarose migration and a bit before the tumblr/anachan influx when the first admin was around, actually? The culture has
definitely shifted under the new admin in a specifically terfy/radfem way, and it’s causing a lot of infighting, and the quality of the site is tanking. You can’t “hide those threads” because in every other thread now you have four unmoderated derailing idiots shouting about it every time someone even accidentally refers to a troon or fakeboi by their chosen pronouns.
I literally don’t give a shit about terfs one way or another except for the fact that they used to just be one part of the user base, and now they sperg up every thread, and it’s been practically codified under recent admin. Please for the love of god do not start back with the bickering that just died down - I had nothing to do with that and that shit is literally exactly why I’m saying “wtf, did radfems literally take over the site and then abandon it when the whole site became radfem infighting?”
I don’t care about the rhetoric, I’m just really suspicious of staff’s level of involvement with lolcow politics, especially in moderation - subjects that caused this much derailing used to catch bans, but terf shit causes an uproar every single time yet somehow that’s still a part of the user base we need to mollify? Fuck that.

Right now finding more staff is more of a priority than a townhall or poll, meaning hellweek is the main priority after that. Suggestions and complaints here are always noted though, even if it doesn't always seem that way.
For hellweek to work, we need to make sure that we are not understaffed. Applying for positions is encouraged now more than ever, but if you have already applied you may be getting emailed soon.
Another thing we'll work on is making moderation much more consistent for everybody. Hopefully the upcoming changes are noticable enough for positive feedback.

I’m sure I can’t be alone in that.
Also, why is Aly’s thread autosaged again? Anons were really happy to have it back and some fantastic art is getting made. It’s a much better thread than half the ones that get bumped all day long on snow, and it makes no sense. People were saging and no major cowtipping was happening - i am pretty sure a lot of the “myproana” type forums discuss her as wel so you can’t just assume the nasty comments she gets are from farmers (if that’s what it is.)

these replies from both farmhand and admin feel mildly similar to that, not enough time or focus – maybe because they're stretched thin
I've been kind of curious as to how current admin got the position. were they friends with previous admin? were they a prior farmhand? were they from a different chan/gossip board? do they have any roots in lolcow/staminarose/4chan? did they have any experience being an administrator prior to this?
I mean it doesn't make a difference either way in the grand scheme of things, but I've always got the impression they don't and didn't. It makes it seem even queerer thought-out posts with the site's well-being in mind are being mostly glossed over/ignored.
I don't mean for this post to sound petty or dickish towards farmhands/admin, either, more like speculation as to what has lead to the site becoming this way since everything still feels pretty shrouded in mystery and favor towards the part of the userbase that has always seemed like a minority in the past.

I hate to get salty but at this point it’s obvious there is interest and it’s like you’re trying not to get help running this place.
Regarding upcoming hellweek without a townhall or poll or anything:
Summer is almost over. Half of the cancer is going back to school before it’s likely to get organized. A major portion of the main user base has been complaining for months about inconsistent modding, and feeling that staff is becoming a bit of a cabal (which makes sense even if inaccurate, given how few of you there are and how limited communication has been). There are major disagreements among the user base itself re: what direction the site should take and what should and shouldn’t be bannable offenses. If you do a hellweek with the staff/user relationship as-is,
after all the cancer leaves, do you really think it’s going to go well? Because it seems like a lot of really solid posters are ready to throw their hands up and abandon the site, already.
If y’all don’t try to communicate with your users better and do a lot to restore confidence in moderation before you start cracking down on people, it’s going to cause an uproar I guarantee it.
No. 6292

>>6288I agree with what you say but as said before blog posting is
usually associated with long posts unrelated to the topic at hand. That's why transcript anons are appreciated and blog posters in the animal youtubers threads aren't.
>>6289There's no way for you to know if they were banned or not but if they were banned it was obviously not a red texted ban. This may or may not be based on post history or who was starting the majority of the fighting in the thread.
>>6290If you want to be more specific, leadership roles and online forum experience is preferred with a reasonable degree of technical experience. Time depends on the person and their real life obligations but the team is more oriented on getting through reports and the time that takes really does depend on the person and the kind of week it is. /ot/ /g/ need the most help but certain threads on /snow/ need more moderation as well.
At this point it seems it may be better not to do a hellweek after summer. If we could, hellweek would have been done ages ago but there is not enough people to effectively do that and finding trustworthy people to help moderate is another issue.
>>6291Post history is usually accounted for during the reporting process. Personally, I don't penalize any user who enforces the rules reasonably. Especially if it's an oldfag. Now someone who constantly derails and infights over sage may be banned for a short period as a warning.

>>6295I don't understand the staff's insistence that "long posts usually equal blogposting so we ban users for long posts because it breaks the rules about blogposting." The current rules don't ban long posts. Nor does the info about board culture mention anything about avoiding posts of excessive length. With the rules written as they are at present, a long post should be fine if it's relevant and on topic.
If staff don't want long posts in threads, why not just put in the rules that long posts = a ban?
No. 6299
>>6297The post was long but it was also a blogpost.
Per the recent conversation here, I personally would like to see the mini-modding ban relaxed somewhat. It takes time for farmhands to arrive in threads and give out bans. And sometimes there's no edtext so only one person knows about the ban. We can quickly squash cowtipping and derailing if you let us. As it stands, that behaviour gets out of hand and personally I think it's lead to a proliferation to cowtipping, a kind of new normal here where anons constantly interfere with the cows. Look at Moo's cam chat, anons were in there shitting it up from the start. Also, there's been a huge increase in people posting screencaps of comments by "someone tearing x cow a new one" when it's almost always a self post. Other anons see that and they copy it - they have no idea if a ban was issued or not. Random comments about/to a cow are not milk but there's so many of them now. We as users used to police this and try to stop it in the Margo threads. Now it's become the new normal and it's really ruining things.

>>6300>Posts with an excessive length don't fit imageboard culture>are usually associated with blogging or some sort of derailing. >ban [MAY] have been related to that. Admin did not really say that, anon. It was a mistake for its length to be singled out in the first place because it has lead to these buttblasted discussions. Not all long posts are blog posts. Blog posts can often be long.

No. 6310
>>6309The discussion is about the use of bans and the lack of consistent moderation. Long posts vs. blogposts is a symptom of that, which is why it's being discussed.
The discussion started because anon said that moderation feels inconsistent and in
>>6132 Farmhand wrote >What specifically about moderation feels inconsistent? Rules were recently updated for clarification and stickied threads were added to /pt/ and /snow/ for user friendliness.
As pointed out in
>>6288 staff seem to have a weird vision of how to run a chan that's not consistent with how other chans are run. The continued parroting of "read the rules" by staff is troubling when there's seemingly no consensus among staff about what those rules mean. It's not unreasonable to ask staff to clarify or be more explicit about what results in a ban.
No. 6311
>>6310I don't think it's unreasonable to be asking what you are in here? I wouldn't be in here having a conversation in this thread if I didn't want change. I'm following the conversation with interest and have already read the comments you're pointing to.
I find the longpost/blogpost argument and whether admin did or didn't say a longpost is a blogpost to be a bit of derailment. I agree that clear reasons for a ban need to be given but if it was a blogpost, being long or not is really not an issue.
No. 6312
>>6299Some of the posts I'm referring to that have become rampant. These are from the Momokun thread in the last 7hrs. Yes, it's been livelier due to her cam streams, but it encapsulates the cultural problem affecting a lot of threads now. I feel like it's because some anons complained loudly in here about mini-modding, and now they have their way and people interfere with the cows much of the time.
>>>/pt/562438>>>/pt/562441>>>/pt/562449>>>/pt/562470>>>/pt/562539>>>/pt/562546>>>/pt/562668>>>/pt/562679>>>/pt/562703>>>/pt/562737>>>/pt/562740>>>/pt/562898>>>/pt/562917>>>/pt/562922>>>/pt/562973and despite some obvious rule-breaking posts like the repeated namefagging, the only two comments that got redtexted were male posts:
>>>/pt/562675>>>/pt/562691I know that bans are also issued without redtext but if you have any serious intention to stop the slide of some threads into cultures of pure cowtipping, you have to redtext the offending posts or the people trying to organise it. How else will new people learn? And there's nothing the rest of us can say for fear of a ban for mini-modding. We can't report them all for fear of a ban for too many reports.
No. 6313
>>6309just the fact that admin said longposting doesn't fit chan culture is telling. it's super arbitrary and she basically phoned it in.
also can we do anything about the fucking manhate shit? there's always so many anons saying "just hide the thread, you're paranoid it's not on other threads!" but low and behold, it seeps into other threads like a backed up toilet. i don't need to hear a bunch of insane people circle jerk about how men are biologically programmed to rape, it's extremely cringy.
No. 6314
>>6313The man hate issue really gets me because they always come in with insults every time. Handmaiden, tranny, man, neckbeard, like clockwork. They don't get that it's not the
man hate that's the issue it's the
hate. They're like users who nitpick cows all day and then circle jerk about how true it is and reply to everyone with "hi cow!". It's just annoying. Men are shitty, but being that obsessed with picking apart examples and screencaps is the kind of thing that incels get obsessed with. And like incels, they turn on everyone telling them to chill out about it.
>inb4 but anon MEN get to do this ALL over the internet!And, it's annoying when they do it, you don't get to be fucking annoying on here because men are also annoying. Anyone who thinks that they "deserve a place to shit on men" should be permabanned automatically.
No. 6317
>>6312Please do not worry about being banned over a fear of over reporting, it usually never happens. Over reporting bans may be issued when someone clogs up reports with 6 month or 2 year old threads.
On the related topic of redtexting, staff has decided to lessen red texting.Obvious example offenses like cowtipping will be taken into consideration for red text but minor offenses will no longer be red texted. Don't assume that no red text means there's no ban. Anything that is reported is always seen.

No. 6322
>>6318Nta but you guys are really bad at listening huh. The users are very volatile. They don't listen to mods, they can't accept criticism or any negative comments about the thread, to the point where they derail other threads with shitposting. They get baited daily and then whine about it being autosaged, and why not autosage it? The thread itself is a circle jerk of fearmongering and hysteria and it attracts neckbeards like flies on shit.
I honestly think the worst part is that you can't say anything about the thread, even in this very thread without anons jumping on you either with insults or in defense of the thread. In all irony they're acting like men themselves. They announce their presence in every thread, act like their opinion is important and insult you if you don't agree. Not only that but they make bait shit in threads so they can do those things. And the "men do this all over the internet we should be allowed to here!" argument is just as obnoxious.
Also, this site isn't pro-men but it certainly isn't anti-men like you seem to think. I've been here since the beginning and the reason we don't want men here is because the men on /cgl/ and most chans in general are whiny annoying little shitlords. It's certainly not because everyone here is a lesbian radfem. I don't want men here, but I also don't think that the thread is working because of the fucking users. The old misandry thread didn't have these kinds of people acting like they owned the site.

>>6316The fact that you like to describe these women as "really creepy" and "obsessed" doesn't inspire any confidence in me that you're not just a male who can't handle that some women hate him. You're being patronizing and degrading while asking a distressed group of people to stop expressing their distress. Basically, you're calling women crazy and illogical and using words that imply as much while asking (or trying to make a mod force) them to shut up. You're not helping the issue.
I'm not a user of that thread but that's what I'm seeing here. Women don't just wake up hating men, in my experience, something bad happened to them that made them this way and they're hurt and using this primarily woman occupied space, one of few, to safely express that. As it stands, you've already used language that invalidates them and you think their experiences are just "stories". The more I type about this the more it sounds like you're an offended guy trying to sound like a lady to appear unbiased, since a lot of dudes also dismiss the bad things that happen to women as "just stories". Its not a good look.

You're doing exactly what that anon is complaining about, accusing them of being a man for disagreeing not with the content being discussed but the vastly annoying behavior of those discussing it (which you're exhibiting), then trying to straw man with "bad men make women act this way from their experience" as if incels saying women are abusive and awful and that's why they're hating on every little thing about them isn't their #1 go to argument too. If you aren't a troll you must be seriously illiterate to not see the irony they've again and again reiterated in their posts about this. I don't even care if you're a woman, a man, a tranny, identify as an apache attack helicopter onision marrying transformer or whatever the fuck - you're just flat out ignorant at this point

>you're being patronizing for not agreeing>you're a man for not agreeing>you're invalidating others for not agreeing>you're accusing them of making shit up even though you never referenced the contextThis behavior is disgusting. No one is attacking anons personally but the shitty man-hate anons from the thread. It's always the same shit.
>you're a man>you're a tranny>you're a handmaidenFor the last time, the thread could be about fucking cars for all I care, the content isn't the issue. It's exactly what
>>6322 said.
>>6325 and the other man-hate userbase are just taking advantage of the site to have a chance to act like shitty incels. They're basically telling us that when they use that shitty "MEN DO THIS AAAAALL OVER THE INTERNET AND WE HAVE TO WATCH" excuse. They're just bitter women who have a huge chip on their shoulder and think the fact that men are shit somehow means they have the right to do the same shitty things uninhibited. It's that level of entitlement that makes them so terrible. I don't give a fuck if you're salty that you don't get to be and entitled twat on the rest of the internet. It is annoying regardless of who's doing it, man, woman, tranny, whatever.

triggered, when they resort to bullying and dismissive insults at simple criticisms of the thread. there is a reason

>>6332the solution is to ban the thread and comments like that. obviously saying stuff about how men suck is fine but when stuff goes into femcel territory it gets banned.
stuff like "men are retarded" or "men will fuck anything" is fine, but when it gets into crazy shit like "men are rapists" or "men all hate us" should be banned without question. and anyone outside the thread calling people handmaidens/trannies/men for saying that the manhate is annoying should get banned as well. we really just have to go full on 4chan robot containment.

No. 6336
>>6317I actually did receive a ban for reporting less-than-day-old unsaged posts (that needed to be saged) about a year ago. This was back when saging existed for /pt/.
I was very confused and upset by the ban, tried appealing, sending an e-mail, and ultimately had to wait it out. And I wasn't spamming a crazy amount of reports either; it was just the Momokun thread iirc and I erred on the side of caution.
So I don't blame anons for being afraid. I have been there.
>>6333I don't agree with this. This feels like a kneejerk reaction to the other end of the spectrum.
I read gender crit in OT and some of the art threads and that's usually it, but recently had reasons to vent about some men (sex/sexist related things some of which I wanted advice on) and went to the man hate thread and had decent exchanges there regarding those situations and those men.
I've been reading it semi regularly since then and see the derail/bait/bait-taking etc. I haven't personally seen the same nature of man hate posts in snow or pt. They are usually much more tame and are relevant to the discussion (many cows have gross cheating bfs/husbands for example).
I just wanted to give some background to the thoughts I have as suggestion, because I could be naive regarding the larger scale of OT (since I only regularly visit like 4 threads there or so) and maybe that's where the man hate overflow occurs?
I think the man hate thread should exist at least for containment purposes. Punish off topic obvious overflow (though again I can't personally recall ever seeing any) and punish trolls/bait in the man hate thread as well as those who take obvious bait. I am indifferent to whether or not it is autosaged, though autosaging it may cause overflow. Closing the thread is almost certain to cause overflow.
Sorry for length. I don't intend on posting in this thread multiple times.

EVERY topic that's been banned in the past, it be permanently banned if the vast majority can't keep themselves under control. Why do you think man hate is above any of the other topics we can no longer discuss for these exact reasons?
You (or like minded anons) keep saying "well I'd really just like a solution!" And we keep bringing up the same solution we've used for everything when this happens, and you brush it off like no one is saying anything.
>>6339God how are you so dense. No one is saying you can't complain also, everyone has a problem that every time an anon has negative concrit on the subject it gets deflected, valid points ignored and they're accused of being a man/whatever…. Like what

I can't believe how much this place has changed under this team. The rules may as well be dumped at this point, there's cancer everywhere, and communication feels combative. Users want to see more redtext and list valid reasons why (like anons learning from other's mistakes) - lol fuck your red text, we're going to do it less, in the middle of a tsunami of faggotry and cancer. Users beg for a hellweek - fuck that too. Users ask for better info and communication - well, guess what.

The others don't seem to be as active and there some choice topics in /snow/ that could benefit being bumped to /pt/. Shay for one is a hidden gem of grossness that would definitely reach a wider audience in /pt/.
>>6385She is gross but she's also very milky. I mean she just recently got a bed, she flew herself to Mexico to meet an edgy rape fantasy tumblr dom she met online, she begs for money to go to porn auditions, she's doing porn with whatever STD/STI she has, and she's about to leave her apartment to go live in a house she ASSUMES is being bought by this guy for the two of them.

If Kelly's images aren't ones that she took, if they are on tumblr or anywhere else on the internet, they are free game. That's how the law works.

months without any real answers from you or your “team.”
This site is obviously too large for you to handle, and you either cannot or will not mold your moderators into a cohesive team, listen to feedback from its user base, or ban the posters that are only here to troll and sling shit.
I’m sure most of us were ready to give you the benefit of doubt about these issues. However, when you ignore the site for months on end, let your moderation team run unpoliced, and refuse to even add a small description as to what moderation duties even entail when you’re obviously desperately understaffed, you have to understand why there’s little sympathy to be found for you. If this is too much for you to handle, just come out and say it. It would be the far more respectable thing to do.

please get rid of whoever fucking banned that comment. how tf is it a-logging to say you're going to shoot yourself in the head, and in one comment? anon is talking about how she is going to vomit and then put a shotgun to her head. are the mods just people who have never fucking been on a chan board?
No. 6469
>>6468Ntayrt but why? Because mods can be held accountable for their ban choices by the user base if the user base disagrees with them?
The entire idea of "less red text so we don't have to hear complaints about how the rules are enforced" is pants on head retarded
Current admin has not once in my memory seemed a chan board native and farmhands even had to swoop in to save her ass from criticism when she wasn't transparent about the Kelly lawyers situation
I don't mean to insult you personally but how in the actual fuck are there still people on this site who feel less red text is what we need right now? Do you guys read meta or look at what's going on at all?

Isa is a cow. If the vendetta posters get banned or redtexted why can't the rest of use talk about this milk in the thread? It's current and it's kind of big news? No matter who brought ti to the board.

>>6459We just unlocked the thread as it shouldn't have been locked in the first place. Our apologies.
>>6463>>6478>>6476>>6479Thanks for the detailed post anon. It'll prove useful. For all anons wondering on how locking a thread on the basis of a vendetta works, we simply check for the ratio of vendetta posts in a thread versus milk. We're still investigating for certainty on the possible identity of some posters. Other spam threads in snow have been locked for similar reasons.
>>6469Red texting every ban would mean reading a site full of red text, the site has never once been moderated in this manner. All warning bans would be marked along with communication to anons. Major example ban offenses will still be red texted. This includes male posting, cowtipping, and self posting. Instances of minor infighting and sage issues can be handled without red text.
Users don't need red text to hold the moderation team accountable for their ban choices. If anyone has a legitmiate issue with a ban reason then they have the right to post a complaint in this very thread. Again, appealing bans will always be encouraged.
>>6483Yes, all applications are read.

with redtext in the man hate thread unless you're referring to another anon or thread. Sometimes we do get reports from /ot/ labled male but upon inspection we can see they are not a robot or male. We can't ban for differing opinions unless they're actively derailing or infighting.

>>6492i wish the mods would understand we don't need redtext for every post. but we do for stuff like this. crossboard shit like this, or people who post a looooot. they should have one of their posts per thread redtexted.
also mods should listen to what we're saying instead of the literal opposite. you say people will complain about too much, but they are complaining about too little. redtext is the only thing that shows who's been banned. other types of forums don't have redtext but they do mark all posts that have been banned.
No. 6494
>>6492>>6493You're right, it seems the ban was never redtexted but that anon did receieve a ban (gender crit trans anon). We are working on red texting these cases so thank you for bringing this to our attention so we can improve.
>>6490We had a similar incident with the blade thread which lead to it's recreation but as of right now our hands are tied with Kelly's situation as the legal threats seem much more legitmate to our host. As we said before we're going to try to find a way to resolve this issue.

>>6499>I understood armchairing as pulling diagnoses out of your ass, not discussing the behavior of actually mentally ill cows.Sometimes armchairing is like that, I would even say the majority of the time it is anons medfagging and armchairing about things they don't know for certain.
In this case it's mainly because it falls more into "pyschology 101" blogging territory. It's fine to discuss Tuna's bpd in relation to her behavior but adding detailed commentary about bpd itself isn't needed.
The first and last parts of anon's post were alright because they related to the cow but the middle portion below is armchairing.
>Luna has bpd, so she splits and has black and white thinking, and she probably splits on herself. She either thinks she's the hottest person to ever live, or the ugliest. She takes the selfies when she feels hot, and she posts them when she needs validation because she feels shit. There is no in-between fpr her, no grey area and that's why we see her flip flop on other people as well. It's why there are all these contradictory posts about people in her life as well. It's not that she can't keep her story straight, well it is, but it's not as simple as her being a stupid liar. When bpd people split someone, they're pretty much incapable of remembering they ever held opinions that contradict their current feelings. No. 6502
>>6499Note that you have to take what Tuna says with a grain of salt. It's pretty much what the farmhand said and armchairing is annoying. Nobody wants to go into a thread and see dumb paragraphs from multiple people about what illnesses a person
might have. It happens in every single Tuna thread and way too often.

Maybe leaving them open is better though, if only for the fact that when Lola or Claire finally pass away, there’s going to be an immediate flood of discussion about it? I always lean towards keeping threads open.
OT, but I wish we could have another Town Hall meeting. I feel like the site needs one desperately. Barring that, it feels like the place will continue to slowly degrade, due to mods (seemingly) not having a unified focus about what’s best for the site, or even a unified approach to moderation, and the worst users, who all appear to be twelve year olds, have somehow taken over.
It wasn’t that long ago that users lurked more and learned board culture, they’d get policed by long time posters when they stepped out of line and gradually they’d assimilate. That’s not the case now, and the bad posters are the ones attempting to mini mod and police threads. I can’t believe the amount of cowtipping that goes on, and very few anons say anything about it, I think for fear of temp bans. Tempcow was a lot of fun, but it brought a lot of bad behavior back with it when it was shut down.
There are a few cows on /pt/ who I think were bad for the site in the long run, Mariah being one. It’s like certain cows really cause users to sperg heavily.
I miss the time of fresh milk, thoughtful, funny users, and lc itself being a fun place. It’s frustrating to see it go downhill.

>>6518This is where I feel like the staff have really dropped the ball. You can't report anything that's nitpicking if it's about Dasha or whiteknighting Mina and Edwin. Well, you can report it, but don't expect for anything to be done about it. Is nitpicking every single photo of Dasha even necessary? I get it, she did the same to Mina. But she wasn't following any rules, we are. How can nitpicking be against the rules yet be so damn rampant in a thread that the staff was watching so closely? It's the same in the thread on the Onions.
You can't even ask them to chill cause then they'll jump down your throat, it's absolutely embarrassing. Like you, I understand why it became Dasha only. But the brown-nosing when it comes to the two "former" cows make us look
bad. You don't have to stan Mina to put down Dasha. Some of us don't like any of the bitches and just want to watch the fire.
The nitpicking on this site is just crazy.
No. 6523
>>6522>really dropped the ballYou can't nitpick Mina the way you want and that's "really dropping the ball"? Look at the thread histories, Dasha started a thread herself in order to shift the conversation over to nitpicking Mina. Is it any wonder that very thing is not allowed?

>>6513Infighting bans are not currently being redtexted due to the involvement of many anons depending on the incident. Repeat offenders will continue to get longer bans unless they learn to integrate.
>>6522>>6518This is something I think alot of staff members (and the community) can agree with. We'll try to be better about catching repetitive nitpicking since it is a problem that distracts from actual milk. The only problem that lies with this is threads where anons feel that nitpicking is actually milk.
No. 6525
>>6523Nowhere did I even say that it's not fair we can't nitpick about Mina. I said they were once all cows and that makes the brown-nosing embarrassing, because it's pretending like they never were. The main issue that I brought up was the nitpicking getting out of control. Learn to read.

>>6525I'm another person who got flamed to shit for saying anything even remotely negative about Mina, also posted recently there when I was scrolling by since I saw posters
still jumping on people who don't like Mina. I tried pointing out the same in the past; they were all cows, it doesn't change because Dasha is worse. Edwin is pathetic & creepy and the whole "littol" thing is cringey, but we're supposed to be up Mina's butthole just because Dasha sucks. The fact that Edwin has posted here and uses images from lolcow like we're his little army says enough, meh.
Would really like to see a change in that thread.
No. 6529
>>6528>>6525Exactly. I don't like any of them and just watch for the drama but it's become an echo chamber of Edwin and Mina fans in there.
Sometimes someone will say nothing even negative and they'll still jump on them because they haven't even read the post properly.
No. 6530
>>6529>>6528Damn that really sucks, anon. I don't see why Edwin and Mina can't have their own thread in snow? Even if it's "lolnomilk" which is what we'd most likely hear, at least it would give people a place to not get shit on by the stans. Cyr could stay in Dasha's thread since he's dating her. If the staff won't do anything about it in the Dasha thread, this would be the better solution and less of a headache for them. Moo's calves, Onion's layers, Penis nose's daughter, Joy's psychos, and other cows have their own threads in snow.
It just seems like less of a headache to give them their own thread and would keep the infighting down cause anyone who feels particularly childish about them having one, don't have to go to it and wouldn't have to see it cause it would be in snow.
The only problem is that it won't do anything about the brown-nosing going on in Dasha's thread; so, we would still have to suffer through it if we want to keep up on Dasha drama.

If you had checked my history for even a second, you would have seen posts about my hair, makeup, perfume, etc that would have told you I'm a girl. But no, instant permaban.

Farmhand in the onision thread is an illiterate retard who doesn't seem to understand why people use this site.
Keeps banning people for posting caps with useful information, and not banning people who're obviously shilling KF and calling this site a place for incels. Assuming they're not the same person, there are at least three people in that thread who should've been banned who weren't, whilst the one providing useful info was. So now we're not going to get any of the delicious onion going to jail for ruining his swamp milk, but people who think this board is for incel dudes are allowed to stick around. Great.
Oh, and apparently I caught a ban for "derailing" for questioning why the farmhand banned a poster bringing in milk.
Might as well go and make a fucken kiwifarms account at this rate.
No. 6550
>>6541It was an error on our part, that's why your ban was lifted ASAP. Sometimes trans self identiying anons have a post history as well. We're sorry that your post was misread.
>>6546You're assuming you know who and who isn't banned. All KF shills have been given warning bans and the anon who was redtexted was banned for linking to the website, and continously posting caps of over 5 pages worth of KF threads.
They can just post the relevant information and documents, it isn't hard.
>4. Do not attempt to use lolcow.farm for attention or profit. (See rule 3.3)
>4.1 Do not deceptively post about yourself in the third person for any reason. > 4.2 Do not spam. >4.3 Do not advertise.The anon was given a 5 minute warning ban, however in response to this various anons have decided to instead continue to derail the onision thread.
>>6548Caps of kiwi farms commentary isn't milk. By this logic posting an entire kiwifarms thread is milk. The shilling isn't going to be tolerated, if you want to read what other anons are saying about the topic you can head on over to the website yourself.
Anons are free to make a kiwifarms account if they really want to.
>>6549Yes, a few.
No. 6551
>>6550That's good to know but how are we supposed to know if you don't redtext the users? You made an example of the one anon who was providing interesting shit to read, rather than the one who outed themselves as an outsider by calling us incels.
>They can just post the relevant information and documents, it isn't hard.I said it in the thread already, but you're either ignoring it or genuinely too stupid to understand but the relevant documents don't make any sense without the explanations provided by the kiwifarms posters. How is it a problem for anon to cap the explanations about what the legalese and biology terms in the documents posted mean, and how is it shilling? I'm a biofag and tons of the shit about wetland biology doesn't make any sense even to me without an explanation from someone who knows about it, and you're expecting anons to accurately paraphrase it? if it's so easy I'd like to see you do it.
They're providing the caps so we don't have to visit that shithole of a site to get the relevant info. Shilling would be them not capping, linking to the KF thread and saying we need to visit if we want to know what the legal documents mean. Capping stops us from having to visit KF. That is the literal opposite of shilling. What you're saying is the same as saying anons who rehost onions videos so we can watch them without vising his youtube are shilling for him. It is pants on head retarded.
Are you one of the ESL farmhands by any chance? because you don't seem to have a good grasp of what the word shilling actually means. Because you're doing it. In your post.

>>6553>Caps of kiwi farms commentary isn't milkThat is what was actually said, and that is the simple truth. What anons

No. 6558
>>6557What does this reply even mean. How is your reading comprehension so bad?
No. I got an answer to something I didn't ask. I'm asking you now, in this thread, if you think that any old anon is capable of reiterating the information that those kf commentary posts contain. I'm telling you I'm a biologist and I wouldn't be capable of doing it. Who the fuck knows off the top of their head how a wetland habitat works or what any set of government codes or regulations mean without having worked in that field? The commentary is necessary for understanding the screenshots. How many more times do I have to say this? The screenshots. Don't. Make. Sense. By. Themselves.
Either anons screenshot the relevant info to give context to the caps, or they paraphrase the kiwi posts, which they probably can't do. And even if the could, why would you bother when someone else has already done it?
No. 6559
>>6557Because you're not answering any questions, i'm not even that anon and i can see it lmao.
You're deflecting and again, being bitter that there was relevant information on KF that was posted here so others could be in the loop.
I mean, but what can you expect from a farmhand who doesn't even know how to use shilling properly.
Also lol got banned for mentioning that the farmhand is wrong about kf. Maybe you need to let someone else take on your position if you can't even take criticism and call everything sperging. Knowing lolcow vocab and using it correctly seems like the first thing you should know as a mod.

>>6584And the other way round too. The whole KF Margo thread started as a post-by-post port of the threads here. Fun fact: the KFer doing it was a farmhand here at the time. Point being, there is a regular exchange of caps and ideas, depending which thread subject it is.
Anyway,
OP was a bit retarded to post such lengthy caps when a shorter assembly comprising paraphrasing, image collaging or even copypasting choice excepts would have done. When some uys story about his own wetland, hidden behind a powerlevel spoiler on KF, is expanded and posted here for literally no reason, that is one way of overdoing it. I don't give a fuck about some guy's personal trees and owls. If I want to read his powerlevel story, I will do so by going to KF and reading it.
Buttblasted anons going off about "milk": it's a public site and you can read it anytime. Go click. No account even needed. People talking about the same stuff elsewhere isn't milk anymore than than a crosspost from Pull is milk. The 'expert' opinions are helpful given that anyone decent has run away from the Greg threads, but as I say could have been summarised.
Deliberately conflating the misreading ban, then farmhand confirming there are some farmhands for whom English is a second language when asked - there's no proof those two events are even connected. Even English speakers misread things. Then to attack this farmhand responding here just comes off like assholery. Why would someone want to be a farmhand with you irrational fucks going at them because you're too lazy to follow up with reading the KF thread yourselves and want to be spoonfed it. Btw they're moved on to sperging about this military record for the umpteenth time, enjoy.

The thing I glean from reading this thread is how much time farmhands waste in /ot/.

Let me predict the staff response too, "Using medical terminology is often associated with armchairing, so that's why you were banned." Because remember, it doesn't matter what the content of your post is or what the rules say, you get a ban if it just looks wrong or rubs somebody the wrong way.

>>6628it's starting to seem like they either don't actually take the time to read posts that were reported or they don't realise they don't actually have to ban people whose posts were reported. People abuse the report box to report things they don't like all the time.
Also just gonna throw this out there, at a certain point bans aren't deterrents they're just the cost for posting what you want. Short term bans don't really do anything to kerb annoying behaviour, and from what I've seen they're not even long enough to make those users go away - I've only been banned once and I didn't even know because I went to sleep, by the time I tried to post again it'd expired. I'm guessing this is the case for most other users as well, the site is slow af so most people check in a couple of times a day. Anything under 2 days is basically pointless. A short ban on most other sites/games is at least a week.

>>6628So much whining over something so temporary.
The reason why it gets annoying in Luna's thread is because it often derails into talking only about that and that's not milk. Many of us don't want to sift through a bunch of retarded text all about drugs/prescriptions and mental illnesses. Tuna
says that she has bpd. Moo
says she is bipolar. Just because a cow says something, doesn't make it true. Until we see official diagnosis or actual proof, why even bother believing them? They're cows. In pt.
tl;dr: The derailing into those topics become annoying as fuck and happens multiple times every week in every thread.

Rules are starting to be more enforced in /pt/, especially with no contribution posts due to the lack of sage.

>>6702Not that anon, but the dog love thread was built on infighting. It shouldn't even exist imo. OP should've made a pet love thread (which I'm pretty sure we already have in the form of a pet appreciation thread) instead of making a thread about a single animal to spite the people who hurt her feefees. Everything about it is so petty and immature, I encourage the mods to check it out.
Also, the "derailing" doesn't sound like it's coming from one poster at all… Are you the OP of the thread?
No. 6705
>>6704I did not make the thread to infight but to read positive things about anon's dogs. I suppose the cat mention was a mistake from my side but as you might have noticed most people in the thread say positive things about cats so that ended up being a non-issue.
I am interested in dogs particularly at the moment so I wanted a dog thread, not a general pet thread. What is wrong with having a separate space? You could say that the dog hate thread should not exist, after all the anon could make a 'pet hate' thread to lump all the annoying pets and owners together.
I do not understand why this thread must be raided when the dog hate thread exists. Why is it okay to derail the dog love thread but not okay to criticise whatever the dog haters say in their own thread? Besides,
the anons in the dog hate thread said to create a positive dog thread (to not bother them where I don't belong) so I did. But instead of staying in their lane they followed to the thread where they are unwanted like crazies.
I am too lazy to join a dog forum so I thought there is nothing wrong with a lolcow dog thread.
Notice that it is a thread to talk about dogs, not dog haters, which would be the real shitty, petty and 'narcisstic' (as some derailer wrote - this is what I meant as single anon, though IDK obviously) thing to do.
That is all as I do not want to fight even here. I hope mods take a look and decide whatever.
No. 6707
>>6705>I did not make the thread to infightGoing off your own word, you started shit in the dog hate thread instead of just hiding it, then proceeded to get
triggered so badly that you made a dog love/cat hate thread instead of just bumping the preexisting pet love thread. The thread was the product of infighting and bitterness.
>most people in the thread say positive things about cats so that ended up being a non-issue.Since when? Sounds like your just scapegoating catfags now. This also makes it seem like the reason why you encouraged cat hate was to further spite the posters in the dog hate thread, most of whom are catfags in your mind. El oh el.
>You could say that the dog hate thread should not exist, after all the anon could make a 'pet hate' thread to lump all the annoying pets and owners together. Dog hate was a reoccurring theme in the unpopular opinions thread, where as general pet hate wasn't. Having a dog love thread wouldn't've been an issue in the first place if a pet love general didn't already exist and if you did not create it because of your butthurt.
>What is wrong with having a separate space?The site doesn't revole around you or what you want to see. We already have a pet thread. Dogs are pets. Go post about them there.
>I do not understand why this thread must be raided when the dog hate thread existsStop being so melodramatic lmao, no one is ~raiding~ your thread. Hypocritical of you to even bring that up all things considered. Again, people are unhappy with the thread because it's the product of your butthurt and it was more or less made to bait them. You can hardly blame them for being pissed about that.
>Besides, the anons in the dog hate thread said to create a positive dog thread (to not bother them where I don't belong) so I did.They were wrong too, then. Why throw them under the bus?
>But instead of staying in their lane they followed to the thread where they are unwanted like crazies.Wow. Talk about the pot calling the fucking kettle black.
>Notice that it is a thread to talk about dogs, not dog haters, which would be the real shitty, petty and 'narcisstic' (as some derailer wrote - this is what I meant as single anon, though IDK obviously) thing to do.No, what you did was just as shitty, petty, and narcissistic. You made it to spite dog haterz and attempt to
trigger them by encouraging cat/owner hate. And it's not like you're encouraging your fellow dogfags not to shit on people who don't like dogs. A few anons in the thread have already gone on to do exactly that and you didn't seem to take issue with it. Reminds me of how you "frankly personally do not hate cats but think the topics are so closely related they would come up anyway."
>I hope mods take a look and decide whatever.Agreed, really hoping they see what a child you are.

>>6708It made sense for her to make a thread because there wasn't a pet hate thread and dogfags got

>Forever laughing about making a thread about being 'narcissistic' in your eyes.The only reason why I said that in my post was because I was directly quoting you. I never called your thread narcissistic before.

I loved the idea of a woman board, but run by a man. Women farmhands are just TOO autistic when it comes to bans. Just let imageboards be organic, otherwise they're just like any shitty regulated forum. This doesn't need to be the drama equivalent of ResetEra.

All the detective-fagging cluttering the thread stymies the readability of actual updates and related drama. It's really distracting and annoying.
I get the impression that some KF users got banned and then migrated here to continue their tinfoiling and dropping dox. Also I'm pretty sure I've seen some posters straight up admit they're men too.
No. 6763
>>6760>the entire thread is just KF sperging and e-police investigations. Not keen on the KF sperging either but how is e-investigation outside the scope of normal lolcow material? This chanboard basically exists to document lolcows' behaviour, imo that's e-investigation, even though it's easy to do. Although I will say those people in the investigation squad as they're calling it are majorly gatekeeping the milk and not respecting board culture when they come here to post.
>I know the stuff is illegal, but LC doesn't strike me as a place of justice and doxxing.The original munchie threads had a lot of this going on being that a lot of the cows were scammers, same with the Nick Bate thread. I've always thought there was an admittedly hard to define line on all chanboards where the users would rally together to absolutely obliterate someone if they crossed it, and that's always been a beautiful thing to me. I'm thinking of feet in lettuce bins, or calls for a personal army resulting in the OP being doxxed type incidents. Sometimes a cow just transcends being an internet cow and the only milk to be had is seeing them go down.
doxxing always used to be fair game as long as the person was a legal adult and put the info out there themselves, I don't actually know if this has changed. Either way mods seem to be allowing it for the moment.
also namefagging is allowed, nay encouraged if you are talking about yourself. I'm assuming Dynastia is Darcy from the camgirls thread? You're not allowed to post here in third person if you have ever been discussed in a thread. See: Everyone who has ever been outed for it.

Why the special exception for the Kiwi? I agree with the other anon, Dynastia is a cow and a male.

>>6767>>6764Eh? Last post in the Kero thread is 19hrs ago for me? Unless there's been a new one made or mine isn't updating, but I've restarted my browser and gotten the weird tutanota message at the top
Anonymous is mandatory if you're just an anonymous poster, but as far as I know if you're a cow and you're here to talk about yourself, the rule has always been to namefag. Posting pretending to be someone else and talking about yourself in the third person, which you'd have to do to be anonymous as a cow, would result in having your post history outed and marked as it did with Kiki, mystery, etc. Obviously this doesn't apply though if the person isn't who I thought it was.
No. 6771
>>6769Refresh the page.
Either way your logic doesn't make sense because Dynastia isn't the cow in question (Kero), and cows always get banned when they come here to whiteknight themselves anyway. It doesn't matter if they namefag or not.

>>6771Obviously I tried that before posting, had to go and find it in the catalogue in a new tab, still took a second to update.
and yeah, it doesn't apply in this instance because they're not the subject of the thread. Genuinely thought it was Darcy's camname or something because I didn't put together that anon was talking about the kero thread, they just said in /snow/
