This is a containment thread for meta discussion that doesn't fall into complaints and suggestions. Feel free to tinfoil or talk about the state of the site but try to avoid being too autistic.
If cerbmin needs to hear it, post it here. We occasionally monitor the complaints/suggestions thread as well. Please keep in mind we all have full-time jobs and tending the farm is a passion project. Changes may be slow, but we will prioritize quality over speed. We will do our best, anon!

>>53495With the old /m/ threads back alongside the new ones I think the threads should continue as it did as for example the harry potter thread gotten two threads since the bunker and if one were to participant in the thread from before the bunker which has 373 posts in it should be counted as necro since it's been a year and the topics regarding Harry Potter has since moved on to other things such as the game and the fact that after the bunker it has gotten two threads. What threads I think that fit this criteria is the fujothreads, bookthreads, the j-music thread
mostly beacause of that one anon drama/milk with that j-artist and what not etc… I also think if the the newer thread has more posts in it then the one before bunker it should be used instead as in the cookie run thread, husbando smell identification Thread, dubbing/localization thread, female gaze thread and for example an older thread with more posts like the Plush Creation and Appreciation thread should be used instead of the Plush general #2 thread but the link to that thread should be posted in the older one. The same would apply to the Temp Elsie Media Thread and Board-tan Media Thread
this topic also has a thread here on /meta/ but it is not getting used and the topic has been evolved into posting pics of Board-tan and X2. Nothing really comes to mind with threads that are very similar to one another even if the title of the thread is a bit different, so I'll let others deicide regarding it. Cerbmin when you guys and other anons that frequent /m/ finish discussing regarding this matter and come up with more define and clearer rules please post it in the thread that is pinned in /m/ so that everyone can know. I apologise if my wall of text isn't coherent enough and if it doesn't come with my points across but like I tried and I'm too dyslexic and tired to fix it

>>53549Cute but hard to reinforce

As of today the old Discord server is being retired and will be completely closed on the 14th of March. Future status updates about server downtime will be communicated on
https://status.lolcow.farm/. The link to the status page has been included in the navigation at the top and bottom of every page to make it easily discoverable for all users.
We hope that this will provide a drama-free and easily accessible channel of communication with our users about the status of the site!
>>53662>>53667The slow image issue is being worked on right now. We're doing what we can!
Essentially, this site is run on 12+ year old board software that's extremely unoptimized by modern internet standards. Image sizes and resolutions have gotten bigger and bigger over time and this poor old girl still thinks it's 2011, not to mention the negative impact of the unwanted traffic we get from people who want to harm the site.
After doing what we can to make the site run faster in its current form, we plan to spend the next while working on moving the board to a new platform. As previously mentioned, this will be done with the consent and input of our users.

>>53742>>53755IMO it's been picking up again recently for the first time since the December incident. The first couple weeks after the site came back online most of the threads I follow (even the MTF threads) felt deserted.
Hoping for a hellweek soon though. I think a majority of newfags aren't malicious, just younger and ignorant to imageboard culture. IMO a hellweek would help the ones that want to stick around to integrate better once they see the rules being fully enforced.

Lolcow today is like night and day compared to when shaymin was in power. The drama-free and transparent way you all are handling things around here is a breath of fresh air. It is very often a thankless job, so thank you all for stepping up to the challenge of saving a beloved site that's a billion years old! ♥
No. 53781
>>53776Idk if you're new to imageboards but… I'll bite.
Cows post pictures of themselves acting like other people. It can also be a useful thing for when death threats get posted with like, a picture from someone's device. For the most part, if someone wants to be cautious, they'll remove exif data. But exif data has helped catch criminals on imageboards before. The guy that said he steps on people's food at burger King and spits on their food, literally left exif data and that's how he was caught. Same story with Amber Coplin (murderer posted her picture on 4chan and they found shit out using metadata/exif data from his device).
This is not about doxxing some idiot anon that posted a pic of themselves. This is about catching the many other shitty people that get cocky because they think they're untouchable behind being anonymous. So they slip up and FAFO.

>>53781ah I understand, I'm not new here (really, have been here since 2016) but never used imageboards prior to lc and I only read threads interesting to me. Those haven't included death threats or stuff iirc. I knew about Amber's murderer getting caught via 4chan but had no idea exif was involved.

>>53801>>53844The usage of "the farms" was coined by the time we held that board-tan poll years ago.
Since the name of the site is lolcow.farm where there are cows that we make fun of, lolcow users farm for milk and moderators called farmhands for a reason. Or is there some other conclusion on why the term "the farms" came to be?
I mean some anons would use the term "the farms" with an capital F and some simply LC for the site but I always liked to use "the farms" since it was more thematic to the site and the fact I use the abbreviation LC in work near daily doesn't help the matter in not using it.

>>53742There is some improvement after the whole shaymin new lolcow fiasco but numbers are definitely fewer then we what we had from just a few years ago and I am worried about the non existent growth of lc's userbase, like obviously we don't need to be flooded with the usual twitter/tumblr types and potential moids/trannies but I have recommended lc to one of my close online friends and she uses it every now and then and I think we could do something similar on a larger scale, advertise lolcow to spaces that are more trustworthy

No. 53947
>>53946Not at all, I have a lot a faith in this site. I just think the idea is retarded. This site is not a secret, anyone can be told about it or know about it. We don't need "recruitment" or invites because there is no need for recruitment. It's an open free site that anyone can use so I literally don't even understand what the fuck she could possibly be implying. If she or you have friends, tell them about it like?? I don't possibly understand what even it could mean. Want a fucking billboard??
Does the site need more users? Sure. Do we need to actively try to garner them? Literally no. wtf. Plenty of people learn about this site on the daily as it comes under the microscopic lens of news sites and twitterfags/tumblrfags sperging about it on twitter, tumblr and tiktok. The ones that like the site stay, the ones that don't either get btfo for being a newfag or they just leave. The problem isn't that we are lacking new users, the issue is getting them to stay. Are we going to ignore the fact that cp is posted literally daily? Why would anyone besides oldfags want to stick around for that unless they had some investment (socially) in the site? New people join all the time, poke some fun and move it along.
I should also add that the site is terrible in the sense of: a lot of social faux pas, a lot of infighting, a lot of unpopular opinions for normal people, racebait, "
TERF" opinions. I like it and am okay with that so I stick around. But the average person is not going to want to stay and deal with that. Even if every single anon on this site invited just one person, I don't even think that would be enough for the site to be "active with likeminded people" because believe it or not I don't think there are that many likeminded people to begin with.

If a new engine(I don't the technical term) is going to be used for new lc, can there be at least a trial period to see what it's like aesthetically and function wise so we can avoid the mistake of shaymin and of course all the threads from the boards have to be migrated, that's not even a question

>>54560I disagree. It hasn't happened to me on Lolcow yet, bu multiple times, I've seen ban messages using my IP on 4chan. I know for a fact they're from VPN users because they're usually spam posts, too.
Also, is it so impossible for some moids to just live in the same countries as anons, and for IPs to be dynamic?
No. 54577
>>54560What is the official policy on VPNs?
Different admins have had different opinions. In my personal experience I didn't run into any issues using a VPN until a few years ago when I found that some of the IP ranges available with my VPN were blocked. The admin before Shaymin removed the block on some IPs after I asked her to. Shaymin seemed to want to ban them all and some IP ranges have gone back to either being blocked or being permanently banned with no reason given.

>>54605You do not need to click any links for that to happen
No. 54645
>>54572The false ban messages you get on 4chan is because of dynamic IPs and rangebans (bans based on internet providers and countries). The former is more possible on websites with millions of users, but extremely unlikely on a small website like lolcow.
VPNs don't use normal people IPs, like another anon said, they use their own, which is why they are more easy to identify once you research the IP provider and thus blocked in places like 4chan. So you'd have to use said VPN to encounter a ban on a VPN IP and even then it happens rarely, because most popular VPN providers have thousands to tenthousands of IPs. Though browsers with vpn feature, like opera, probably have less.
>>54607Yes you do, that article explains what IPs are used for and that they are being abused by hackers but not how the IP spoofing actually happens. Which is being infected with malware that gives access to more information than just your IP address. By that logic every single website owner could "hack your IP" and use/sell it as proxy as soon as you visit the website.

tbf i do think some of the other regular anons do take ss of articles as well (and i have sometimes when posting milk) but the way that person types or whoever else is involved is very much identifiable with the random dashes and trump-like typing, apparently samefagging as well. i'm starting to wonder if the thread should be moved back to /snow/ or be stricter on moderation because i'm unsure if it being in /ot/ is just inviting weird shit like this.

And again, what is considered sounding like a scrote differs from farmer to farmer and if you've been here for any amount of time then you've seen that a lot of anons will accuse each other of being moids for petty reasons. There's no clear guideline for that and it just doesn't really make any sense to ban anons for being "moidbrained" unless they're infighting or otherwise breaking an actual rule. As annoying as those anons are, this site isn't a hivemind.
No. 54743
>>54738This discussion has been already been held in the last thread with responses to all the assumptions in your post so I don't care enough to repeat them. I disagree that moids are always obvious. Unfortunately, especially recently, they seem to get unnoticed at first because muh benefit of doubt and shit up several threads until they finally get banned or anons respond earnestly to them, giving them fooder for whatever they came here for. On other websites, they are openly admitting to posting here freely, for example
>>54221 where the moid openly admits to posting in the Vent thread, Get it off your chest thread, Confessions thread and on /g/ and probably has an extensive post history due to it. In the complaints thread there are anons currently mentioning a pol moid shitting up celebricows.
It ruins the board atmosphere and sooner or later prompts this website to get infiltrated with the same garbage you have on any other imageboard. Actually, I don't know why any woman would want to visit non-dramaboards just to bring up the same pol/r9k/misogynistic garbage they can find in any other place.

I can see why she was put in /w/ at the time because she was just an annoying pastel weirdo for years but now that her behavior has escalated why not put her in /pt/?

This whole thing was a funny Shaypril's fool joke but is dumb as hell to continue with and just another ego boost for Shay. Anything in the /shay/ can be posted in the Shaynatorium in /ot/. The original thread should be moved back to /snow/.
Didn't we for years resist making Shayna a /pt/ cow because it was funnier to keep her in /snow/ where she was just another ho?
The creator of the Shaynatorium has already admitted to it being a bad idea and taking fun away from the main thread. The first thread took months to fill up, she isn't as popular here as some of you think other than her main thread. Spreading out the shaytism through /shay/ is like not enough butter spread across bread. It's a bad idea and will kill the fun even more.

>>55201they've never come out directly and said they want to change the culture, they always have some slick way of getting around it but their intentions are very obvious. i remember the whole meltdown over the cow lore poll (basically a bunch of users failed) and that was when it became obvious we had two different sects on this board - general board/chan users and then these other people with no interest in the culture at all. i remember the arguments between oldfags and the newfags from twitter and tiktok who didn't like the cow boards because they thought they were "mean" or whatever for gossiping about "autistic" people. i remember these same newfags during covid terrorizing burritomin and trying to turn the board into a white feminist hellhole and anyone who dared to call them out on their whining and bullshit would get piled on and called all sorts of crazy names.

>>55211Not a Shaynafag and I don't care about her threads either way but she's one of the cows whose threads harbor shittons of camgirls and other twittertards and having the whole /shay/ board is inevitably going to empower them to run more rampant. I don't know if you've ever been around for any of our "containment zones" but they've never worked and always ended up just attracting much more of the undesired postings. I know /shay/ wasn't made as a containment zone but that's what it'll turn into if it stays. Spergy threads need to be given less leeway, not even more. My main point being that this
is a conversation around the bigger board culture and its long-lasting issues. If you disagree, you're at least contributing to the conversation, but you just want to sidestep it entirely because you don't care about the state and future of the site as a whole.

Due to popular vote, the Shaynatorium will remain in /Shay/. /shay/ will continue to be a hidden board. Shayna’s main thread has been moved back to /snow/ and any new Shayna threads should be made in /snow/. We are currently working on tweaking the Shay theme to be less eye-searing, once it’s tweaked it will be available as a theme site-wide. Thank you to everyone who participated in the vote!

toxic. There's nothing based about giving in to utter hopelessness and paranoia while living as a woman in this world, it's not empowering whatsoever, and it really all puts one's traumas and insecurities on blast as they lash out at everything around them. It's just not mentally healthy and these women need help. I feel pity for whatever extreme events turned them to this thinking.

>>55854>Before we move to LCF 2.0 we will allow (and encourage) anons to test it and give us feedback. The period between rolling out LCF 2.0 for testing and permanent migration to LCF 2.0 will be a few months at least. But yes, all threads posts, images etc. will be moved over to the new platform, and we’re going to make it match the current aesthetic as much as possible. It would be sad to see old lc gone but If this can be delivered, we would all be extremely grateful and its smart choice to test the site first for a few months, fix any bugs, and make sure everything is optimized before launching the new one.

>>55972We have 3 admins, one of whose sole job is to communicate with users. We rarely hear anything and when we do it's always real life and jobs and spare time. Either they've taken on a commitment they can't handle or they're just making excuses. How exactly are they going to spin up LC 2.0 if real life and jobs and spare time?
Every time we get a staff changeover, there's asskissing and omg so based staff and all the rest of it. It's retarded.

>>55998Farmhands are probably very generous with the bans/post history consideration because they are terrified of accidentally banning actual women. So if they larp as women in other threads (like moids already admitted both on here and on websites like 4chan), they might not get banned and it can be written off as "tradfem retard".
It doesn't make sense why the website suddenly gets simultaneously an influx of actual moids, cp spammers and also tradfems (for some reason lmao) in the same time.
The solution would be to give farmhands more access to info on the posters, so they don't have to go off solely by Ip & post history.
No. 56032
>>56007I wish that were true but it's not always the case. Just remember how much they instantly shat up the europe thread when the russian/ukranian war started. Thankfully farmhands were more consequent with banning in that case and didn’t insist it could be tradfems.
>>56006>>56008Lots of device info that is harder and more expensive to fake than just using vpns.

>>56074I'm not sure why you think an anonymous imageboard is going to be exclusive. It's possible to have a verified female userbase, but we'd need to move to a closed forum. I see the need for farmhands to have data about a user's post history, bans, and IP, but I'm not crazy about adding to the data collected here. All it takes is one asshole leaking IPs and people who post without VPN are at risk of being doxed. (And we had a farmhand who leaked an IP just in December.) I hate the raids and the dumb moid stuff as much as anyone, but it's an open imageboard and that's going to be hard to eradicate.
We put a lot of trust in the farmhands by default and there have been a few, past & present, whom I wouldn't want to have my mac address or device info because they themselves act cray from time to time.

The anon who was samefagging in the cat hate thread explicitly claimed otherwise, so the farmhand added a censored screenshot of what they could see.

> this has strayed so far from the original discussionYou weren't close to the original discussion in the first place, since you self admittedly jumped in without even reading the full discussion. My point was that giving farmhands access to additional device info will help them with banning more efficiently to which you voiced converns about poster's privacy. Other anons and me then explained why it doesn't pose any remarkable danger to our anonymity, which you completely ignored to go on about falsely retelling farmhands banning of samefags and then also ignored the corrections.

>>56118You yourself just cited the part where I acknowledged it, hence the "ex-jannies". Manifesto-chan's post history reveal was not a normal or approved reveal and it got deleted because of that. The previous admin even said that stuff like that is why people didn't trust staff, or something to that effect. I don't even want to fight anymore I genuinely think you're just misunderstanding me or maybe the way I wrote it was confusing, but I was literally always using that situation as an example.

>>56148 . You didn't mention that case in any of your posts, not even after I mentioned her and even afterwards claimed we were talking about something I supposedly wasn't there for. Nevermind manifesto-anons post history was not "used to farmhand's advantage to be petty", they wanted to share it out of admiration. Which is questionable too, but obviously not what you were talking about.
The point stands that farmhands would benefit from more poster info in their ban options than just IP and post history and that the risk in any meaningful privacy breach or "doxxing" for the average nonna would be low to nonexistant.

>>56192As I said, misbans do happen but I suspect at least half of the anons who claim to have been misbanned on meta were not actually misbanned.

Then there's also shit like
>>54561>>54565. Nevermind some of the explanations why some were supposedly misbanned make no sense or are delusional (one in a million chances to use the same vpn ip in the same thread at the same time while responding to that same person, claiming it's because of dynamic ips even though most users have those, etc).

>one in a million chances to use the same vpn ip in the same thread at the same time while responding to that same personThat's not true. I use Norton VPN and apparently there is a limited amount of IP's on there because I've received ban notifications twice now in threads I lurk but don't post in. One was for asking dumb questions unsaged, the other was for alogging, both comments weren't mine but some other farmer who uses Norton VPN. I do think the samefagger in the cat thread was a samefagger, but my point is it's not a one in a million chance, I've seen other anons talk about it happening to them as well.

>>56206The schizotroon+other assorted moids burned through half or more of the free ProtonVPN IPs so far. I have also seen a few bans using this VPN directed at normal farmers for posts that had nothing to do with the troon. It's definitely not super unlikely to use the same IP that other posters are using.
But reading the AYRT's post, she's not just talking about these coincidences but also the same IP replying to the same person at the same time in the same thread. That's much more unlikely to happen.

I wasn't trying to hurt anyone, I'm not a troll, and I'm not a moid. I understand that I was foolish to post the thread, I got dunked on plenty. I just wanna say again, you can't suck your bladder out with crumpled walmart water bottle, I was not trying to dupe people into hurting themselves.
This is the only time I've ever made a thread, and I understand that I was wrong. I mostly only post in the Shayna thread, and I really hope you can please allow me just to post in her thread. A week is a long time (for me) to not be able to post on any board at all, lolcow is my life.

Hi farmers!
If you have even had the fleeting thought to apply as a farmhand, we strongly recommend you do so. The site is in need of help and we have received 20 legitimate applications as of today. You don’t need loads of free time, just a general idea of how to internet works and a willingness to check in on the site when you can. The more farmhands we have, the less time each of them will need to dedicate to clearing reports that can get into the hundreds if not tended regularly.
>>56210>>55857Yes! Once we have the new rules in place, we will update the announcement to bring users to the new rule page. Keep in mind, these are small edits and will not be anything like a complete overhaul.
>>55858>>55991I looked through our moderation log it hasn’t been deleted by a farmhand or mod. I also combed through the staff email and didn’t find any takedown requests. Apologies for not having more information, my pet theory is it had something to do with Colours but I obviously cannot prove this.
>>55863We have considered the ability to filter and hide posts. We will open a thread for LCF 2.0 recommendations once we have farmhand applications dealt with!
>>55921The fishtank thread
>>>/m/291726 was locked because there is already a Sam Hyde thread in /snow/. If anons want to liveblog about the show, an autosaged /m/ thread is acceptable.
>>55933I like this idea a lot! Adding it to the requested features list. This is not a guarantee that we will be able to deliver it!
>>55939I understand the frustration, anon. We have optimized images on the site to help with speed. Our userbase is arguably larger than it’s ever been based on stats provided by our host. As new moderators are brought on, expect there to be an adjustment period. If you are concerned about rules not being understood or upheld, I would refer you to the Farmhand Application.
>>56021>>56033Regarding drag kids being posted: the drag thread is relatively inactive and the OP decided to specify not to post about drag kids. However, our site wide rule is that minors should not be posted UNLESS the focus of drama/milk is on their parents who post them online (think Hartley family). Because the MtF threads are more active and the OP didn’t specify not to post drag kids, it is acceptable. See
>>56042 as well.
>>56083Once we onboard the new farmhands, sweet anon
>>56104Captcha will be implemented with LCF 2.0
>>55865I agree that jvloggers is not a high quality thread and ends up in the report queue often. However, it doesn’t seem to benefit from the modding we’ve done. From Global Rule 4, “All users are expected to contribute in a constructive way and are discouraged from posting low quality comments and images.” So, please report any low-quality posts as such and we will give it our best try.
>>55869>>55872Thank you for posting links! From
>>>/w/291608 it looks like Emma did a charity stream for Lili and Sharla posted Lili to her Instagram story. Although Lili was posted to the munchie thread, there has been little traction there and the last post about her was 15 days ago
>>>/snow/1813682 In cases like this, the mods and farmhands aren’t around to be the police. Anons who enjoy the jvloggers thread should come to some sort of consensus together. From what I can tell, there are two options: Lili is sequestered to the Munchie thread and discussion is slow and disjointed from the vjloggers, or Lili remains in the jvloggers thread despite not being completely relevant, at least the threads of her and the jvloggers stories are easier to weave together. There are many good posts making their points in this thread. You are all adults and the internet is full of software to help you make decisions (strawpoll…) I believe in you.
>>55878The wave of twittertards is a plague indeed, please continue to report their infighting.
>>55853At this point, it seems unfair to well-intentioned users to ban the use of VPNs entirely.
>>55916I understand you find it gross, but pigs mating is not bestiality. At worst, it was a gross joke.
>>55914Looks like it was regular discussion by 10-15 different anons. The Jhonen posts number in the 30’s, not necessarily spam. Although there was no drama, discussion is allowed when it’s not infighting or spam.
>>55955In most cases, posts taking the bait shit up the thread even more than the initial bait post. Taking the bait is also known to turn into multiple posts of infighting. However, a permaban for simply taking bait is not warranted. Please email administration@lolcow.farm with a screenshot of your ban message.
>>56039Shotacon/Lolicon has become an ugly topic on the farm. It seems to bring infighting wherever it comes up, and it’s not something we particularly want to encourage posting about. However, the role of admins is not to ban things we don’t like. So, we’ve decided to host a poll here:
https://strawpoll.com/polls/mpnboq4JYg5https://strawpoll.com/polls/mpnboq4JYg5https://strawpoll.com/polls/mpnboq4JYg5To kill two birds with one stone, the poll combines shota and loli together. If you feel passionate about shota and/or loli as a topic to be preserved or culled, PLEASE VOTE! VOTING ENDS MAY 29th at 11:59PM EST.
>>56044>>56045>>56046Could you link some of her posts so I can take a look?
>>56080Please link the “hi cow” posts to make bans easier to issue.
>>56095>>56107We are doing our best with the staff we have, but we need more hands on deck. If you are concerned about the wellbeing of the site, please consider applying to become a farmhand.
>>56110If we were to fire all of our old farmhands, the site would be overrun with garbage. The farmhands we have are consistent and keep you from seeing CP and gore more often than you can know. See the beginning of this post, we have gotten 20 legitimate farmhand applications and out of those, they are not all high quality. The purpose of making a new site is to update the board software so the site doesn’t break as easily, new features can be implemented like CAPTCHA, and security can be improved. Whatever moderation team exists on this version of lolcow will be carried over to Nucow barring some drastic circumstances.
>>56120Good catch, yes that is a post that should be reported. Bans have been issued.
>>56130Accusations of anon being a newfag are usually more legitimate than moid accusations. If derailing or infighting persists, bans will be issued. If the newfag accusation is wildly inaccurate, anon will just have to live with knowing she’s been called a newfag without reason. Again, if derailing or infighting persists, bans will be issued.
>>56139Please link the posts to make it easier to investigate. The report queue easily climbs into the hundreds, if there’s something urgent that needs to be modded in the future please link the post(s). CP/CSAM or anything else we really don’t want anons exposed to is the exception here, you do NOT need to link those posts, just report and move on to avoid further exposure to them.
>>56137>>56148>>56157>>56161Regarding the toxoplasmosis samefag incident: the proper response to the samefag would have been to stop after the redtext calling them out. It is well known across the staff that most every decision we make will be met with backlash or pushback in some way. In this case, it seemed like farmhand was aggravated that anons didn’t believe her samefag ban reason and took the extra step to expose anon’s IP address to prove that her ban was correct. This would have been less inappropriate if she had done a better job of censoring anon’s IP address, but she essentially exposed anon’s entire IP which is not something casual users should be subject to. For context, Kiki being revealed as spergchan (lolcow.farm/kiki) is another time anon’s IP was revealed.
>>56243Amanda’s thread was autosaged by a staff member who has since left the staff. Her thread is now unsaged and will remain that way unless autosage becomes necessary.
>>56195The post you linked was the most recent post after a week of silence in that thread. In this case, my mentality is that the thread has been dead silent and anons just want to discuss cows. It seems a bit too overbearing to issue bans for that. When milk is flowing, nitpicking and discussing things like this tent (kek) are punished because they distract from the milk. We aren’t trying to rule with iron fists, but we have also gotten a lot of feedback that the state of /w/ is abysmal. We have yet to decide on a course of action to remedy this, but as of now you can continue to report posts that don’t fit with a good explanation to help farmhands who don’t keep up with /w/, post in /meta/ when bump/delete posts are occurring, and if you’d like to go the extra mile, we are still accepting farmhand applications.
>>56625 >>56227A ban has been issued. The thread is mostly two users posting with no milk thus far, so it has been locked.
>>56231>>56245>>56249Banners are low priority right now. When we do get around to it, we’ll have users vote on which banners to keep and which to discard. Like anon mentioned, some anons feel strongly about keeping these banners because of their history on the site.
>>56267Yes, there are plans to change this. The point of the farmhand search is to have farmhands in every timezone. For now, feel free to browse during US hours or apply to be a farmhand to increase the coverage during your timezone!

It'd nearly be dead, there'd be no fanfare for a /shay/ board, etc etc. Maybe I'm wrong, but I first saw this sort of "We have less than 150 users" or something meme posted at the same time Oldmin gave a poll asking whether we want to keep /2X/ and pink pill/gender critical threads. Most farmers said yes when she wanted no, so she got angry, started claiming all the votes she didn't like were fake, locked the board and anti-/2X/ anons latched on and claimed we have almost no users. We all know that was nonsense, and it's just always seemed ridiculous. Some people even admit to only coming here for specific threads or boards.

>>56409>derailing argument because one side sees it as pedo talk and is disgusted, and the other one sees it as normal anime talk and is upset that it's being censored. this is the real issue that needs to be addressed and it isn't just with the shota content. everytime something gets posted that these people don't like, they derail. every thread on this site has been derailed or is getting derailed at some point in time, and it's ruining the usability and overall experience of being on lolcow. deliberately derailing threads just because you don't like the topic being discussed or because you want to bully other users should be a bannable offense, at minimum a week. if this was early lolcow era it would have been happened already, especially during hellweek. but the current userbase is so low, we would probably only have a dozen people here if that was actually done, so it's a catch 22. curb the content that causes the most autism or get on the ass of the people who are causing the most drama and end up with an even slower site.

he currently has a link to the site and therefore poll as his pinned tweet, pic related. he is 100% voting on the poll multiple times I guarantee. right now allowing nsfw loli/shota sitewide is in second place very close to being first and there are almost 700 votes, it's obvious that a chunk of these votes are not from women who regularly use this site. this site is nearly dead, most boards move very slow and it seems a lot of traffic is coming from lurkers rather than actual posters.

>>56458scrotes definitely still would be obsessed with this place even if it's completely dead. crystal cafe is (or was) a relatively small and obscure site that at first was only advertised here but as soon as scrotes found out it's female only they dedicated their lives to shitting it up. just look at the current state of cc - even though it's quieter than the average alt chan scrotes are still regularly raiding and posting garbage there.

I'm certain that most anons have a different definition for what they consider regular posting.

The poll should be redone to be less vague, either that or adjust for different options. I don't care if someone is discussing Black Butler's Ciel (using him for example) as a character, but if they're making posts talking about a character like him in a sexual way or posting NSFW of him, I think they should be banned. Shota shit is just as bad as loli shit.
>>56515Trolling is just as annoying as posting it to be serious. Those threads have so many coomers in there bragging about being into the most degenerate of kinks ever, even opting to not engage in fiction if it doesn't include things like incest, grooming, or pedoshit. Who cares if shota shit gets banned, good riddance.

>>56522>the poll should be redone to be less vagueSeconding this, the definition of minors is too vague imo. I'm against any nsfw but I'm not sure about the SFW. I don't think that medias like idk Skip and Loafer for exemple ( technically minors in a romantic situation ) should be called shota/loli. Where do we draw the line ? Also I think that putting minors in a non sexual romantic context is very different from puting minors with adults in a non sexual romantic context and I've seen some anons here have the same feelings about it. I do appreciate the admins trying to sort this out though.
No. 56539
>>56532samefag, but another example following yours would be inuyasha. kagome is 14 at the beginning of the series, and inuyasha is what like 300 years old? its obviously not loli/shotacon but she is still technically a minor. it also slightly touches on your last point, though i believe inuyasha is actually around 17 years of age, he was just frozen in time.
my point being is that it gets muddy with anime and there should be clarification that loli/shotacon is a specific artistic style within anime focusing on prepubescence.

I initiated voted to ban any kind of discussion related to lolishota solely because it gets old to see threads derailing with the same twenty “reeeeee pedo “ comments an aditional person who goes “it’s not pedophilia!” and then the circle starts again. It’s incredibly annoying and usually irrelevant for whatever cow is being discussed.
Recent posts made me rethink it; Yeah, the /m/ inhabitants would be indiscriminately affected and make the board nearly unusable. Shota and non-shota-but-still-underage characters make up like 90% of popular anime.
Even among the ones who oppose shotacon, a lot of those people still welcome characters that are 15 year olds like picrel, while condemning 18 year olds like the lucky star characters. Truly Schrodingers pedo.
The “disregard canon ages, we should go with pure looks” doesn’t seem like it’d be able to be properly enforced; I disagree that Venti looks canonically meant to be feminine, I see pure shota fuel. Aether seems more feminine to me, mirroring his twin sister, but I still see people referring to him as shota. I think it’s too subjective to make banning rules properly enforceable.
IMO all discussion of it should be banned from all boards but /m/ where only sfw should be allowed, with suggestive stuff being allowed while spoilered, and NSFW should just be discouraged altogether unless it relates to milk. Not sure about banned, though, again, because of the subjectivity. People are already banned for dumb shit. I got redtexted for telling kys to a scrote. I don’t trust mods to know when Scaramouche is drawn sissified, gender bent, or shotaified.

If we're going by body type, I think "shota" can most easily be defined by proportions like picrel, 100% safe picture but spoilered just in case. It's a younger version of an existing character that toes the line but (usually) looks fine IMO. Characters like Venti and Ciel just look like more andro and sometimes shorter versions of typical anime teenage boys to me.
>>56561I agree with most of this, though. Overall, this seems hard to enfoce and a bit knee-jerk. We can all agree on not wanting moid spam or infights about this topic. Since this is a site for grown women, I think we can pull that off without having to ban any topic entirely or disrupt normal fandom discussion. Just like with anything else, anons who don't like it simply shouldn't engage with it, and anons who do like it shouldn't be overbearing or try to force it.

He's a tranny catfish who's been at this for years, grooming young boys. Notoriously refuses to VC on Discord. Someone ("Gumshoe", with the Jojo reaction pic) who met up IRL with him at 16 confirmed it's a gross man and he regretted every decision to that point. I'm annoyed that you posted this and feel stupid for even entertaining it for even a second, thereby helping your dumb ass derail the thread. Enough bullshit, discuss the subject like a normal person instead of pushing tranny drama. We already have to deal with Blaine.

>>56561 are disingenuous. Even thought that character is apparently 15 no one thinks it looks like pedoshit, and saying a pedobait character is a 9000 year old dragon is bullshit, it still looks like a kid. Besides, no one is talking about banning talking about underage characters, just sexual content involving them. If you can't talk about anime kids without sexual stuff you have issues.

To clear up further concerns, if the majority of users have voted to restrict this type of content being (as it is right now over 70% of votes favour some type of restriction), then we will implement the restriction with the highest number of votes, even if it does not reach first place. The only way that no restrictions will be imposed is if the two options that represent that choice total more than 50% of the votes.
Given how quickly votes are being cast, we are reducing the timeline of the vote down to 5 days (which will mean it finishes on the 13th). If several similar options are very close we will have an informal run-off vote in a thread in /meta/.
>>56456>>56457Making decisions behind closed doors isn't the transparency we want to have with users. We acknowledge this was obviously a very awkward and clunky way to do it and we didn't provide enough context. We've updated the poll page to make it clear what is going on.

>>56589At this point, I think it's the baiting and infighting that's the problem, not even the subject matter or content. I've literally never seen anons spam shota or NSFW to warrant this kind of attention, but I have seen posters both for/against arguing their gay theoretical opinions about it for hours. I think the admins know this, and that's why it feels so juvenile and embarrassing that the question is whether to add clauses to the rules in order to restrict it, instead of how to better handle our infights. It feels like putting a band-aid on the situation, and giving baiters and shit stirrers on either side "their way".
I know I'm paranoid, but I can't help but feel like this means men will eventually actually be able to control what we talk or post about, in a roundabout way. For example, a small to medium sized Discord server of men/troons can easily decide they're going to post bait and start incessant arguments on any hyper-specific topic. Imageboard-illiterate retards and twitter newfags will eat it up and engage with it every time instead of reporting/ignoring, and rather than addressing how we respond to bait or infights, whatever hot button subject it is will just get banned. It's almost like if the anorectal violence sperg was taken seriously.
Also, on the entire debate: Lolcow will never be anyone's "pure" mental home. About the one thing we can all agree on is fuck men, and that's honestly how it should be. People can hate or like whatever genre of fiction, politician, celebrity, whatever. Some people are almost exclusively posting fearmongering and emotional baits to try and deflect from this fact, but that's the crux of it. I know from certain threads on /g/, /m/, and /ot/ that I'm posting alongside nonas with all sorts of weird and fucked up fetishes and dumb opinions, and that some of you are literal furries, but it just doesn't matter. Come to think of it, the dog and cat hate threads managed to attract actual scrotes, gore spam, and posters casually advising each other on how to to do illegal things like poison other people's pets, but neither generals or the topic itself were ever banned. Mods just ban the insane ones. This is despite the fact that typical posts about disliking dogs or cats easily go in the vent, GIOYC or annoying threads. I'm sure some anons from those threads will get mad at me for talking about this, try to deny it ever happens (we've all seen it, don't bother, idc) and argue it's justified because of free speech, but by that same metric, anything else "sensitive" can easily be handled the same way if only anons knew how to stop taking shitty bait.
>Any posters trying to push deranged or extreme takes = We tell them to shut the fuck up, report them for derailing and infighting. No more attention for them. >Any kind of advocacy for illegal acts/harm = Ban and sitewide shaming. >Avatarfagging and constant attention-seeking over one's own autistic interest = Ban and/or sitewide scorn until exile (like seal-chan). It should be this easy. Outside of maybe how we handle infighing, I don't think the rules need to be changed, or that we need to add fresh restrictions on any one topic, because again, the reaction and eternal slapfights are the real issue.

Where are the hoards of shotacons making threads craving for visibly underage NSFW? How many times have any of you honestly seen a sizable chunk of users banding together to cheer for pictures of sebaciel exploring each other’s yaoi holes? Only significant times it gets posted is in bad art thread for the shock factor, and it didn’t warrant any of this shit fest from the incompetent admins.

No. 56668
>>56661I've already explained why I don't believe in banning any particular topic rather than banning tards for sperging and infighting. It sets the worst possible precedent. If it was about Amber Heard and Johnny Depp, I'd say the same thing. The autism will migrate, because it's not even the subject that's the problem, but how our userbase reacts and self-rewards for certain behaviors.
There's little to no "userbase" to speak of, the problem is bigger than what it's being made out to be, and I maintain that. If you think moids and trannies seeing this don't know now how easily they can brigade us just by shitposting hard enough, you are giving them too much credit. I guess another reason I have stakes in this is because it reminds me of how subjects I actually do enjoy (pinkpill, 2X, anti troon discussion) got banned for years over trannies and men starting infights, spamming and destroying a bunch of threads.
>And don't try to claim "b-but it's not all nsfw", shota and loli as a genre are quite explicitly used to refer to porn.So what porn gets posted? Again, where is the userbase to make a problem of? Are they in the room with us right now? It's always shitty moid bait, and they will keep baiting, and we will pay the ultimate price as the focus keeps changing until we can't post or do shit.

>>56663Nta and I'm personally tired of shotafags defending depictions of sexualized prepubescent children so stubbornly, but it's obvious you don't know much about female otaku. There is always a "shota type" of character in any anime-style franchise with a large bishounen cast, even if said character is not actually a child and just looks really young, which seems to be the only real kind of shota characters being posted. I really don't think those posters are spamming CP (which btw, at least from the few times my eyes have been assaulted with it, seems to always be of girls).
Anyways I don't know how shotafags expect everybody to not think they're pedophiles, when they don't even bother explaining this distinction or specifying what kind of pictures or characters they want to post, and instead keep defending ALL degenerate depictions of children.

The problem seems to just be infighting, and I wish cerbmin had waited to get more farmhands and strategized a way to control it before doing something this drastic.

>>56686Is this the same tard who baits for the fujo cringe thread? I wish mods would just delete the fucking thing, all it does is bring infighting and annoying bait to fish for caps. Anons in the fujo thread ignoring would help, but from what I've seen they keep thinking she's interested in an actual discussion kek
By the time they realize who it is, the thread is fully derailed, so good job I guess
