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!

Thank you anon! I updated the OP with some links, and I wanted to include this fanart photo we were going to use as the thread pic. We love it! Everyone, feel free to continue discussing what parts of board culture need to be revived. It’s very helpful as we draft rules for hellweek.

With 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

No. 53547

Seeing as this isn't a complaint or suggestion I'll post it here. I love that farmhands as well as moderating threads with bans are now giving clear clarification posts like they used to! Keep up the great work, LC is already much more fun to browse.

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
>>53667
The 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.

No. 53742

Thinking about it recently and now curious: are there any plans to try and grow the site? User numbers seem to have dropped off a lot. Those who are left would be decimated by a hellweek. And there still seems to be different contingents regarding what the site is and should be. None of this looks good for the farm in the longterm.
The site is still slow and now the threads are as well. And looking at it from a meta perspective, the internet more broadly has changed. A lot of the old sources of cows and drama are gone or completely different to what they used to be. And interest in spaces like this has dropped.
So yeah, tl;dr how to keep the farms active?

IMO 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.

No. 53763

How is it helpful for drama archival?

No. 53764

ayrt, I agree with you. Esp when people were seeking refuge on CC because they couldn't post here kek. I also think it's younger/newfag users too, they kind of stick out like a sore thumb with their twitter speak ( /s /gen, "omg not this person doing that" or certain twitter reaction images and emojis) I don't personally mind it, it can be annoying but i agree rules can just be enforced and they can integrate. LC is seen as some sort of oldwebcore thing too with certain demographics on tiktok/twitter so I feel it's getting more traction in many ways. I have faith in the new admins though and I can't wait for a hellweek haha

No. 53766

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's hard to understand what the anon earlier meant about drama archival. Presumably the pictures reposted here wouldn't have metadata anyway, so aren't we talking about photos or screenshots anons post, not reposted pics from cows?

No. 53781

>>53776
Idk 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.

No. 53783

>>53742
That's tricky because nonnas have a hard time not being massively autistic towards newfags. That's likely a major reason why lolcow doesnt grow, it farmers don't encourage new farmers to take the place of those who leave

No. 53794

>>53781
ah 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.

The 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.

No. 53849

>>53846
no, anon, the nickname was never the farms, it was the farm. and it originated as a way to direct people from /cgl/ to the site, since posting the link (or even just mentioning lolcow by name) got you banned for dramu. also the term lolcow didn't even originate from the site, rather the site was named lolcow farm because the term lolcow already existed.

There 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

I know that lolcow was a term before lolcow.farm existed, I just didn't think to include it. I actually stopped using /cgl/ after staminarose got shut down and went to browse kiwi and pull before coming here
>>53854
Yes it is a really good idea to put up some adverts on various social media sites or spam some links on other imageboards like retards

No. 53856

>>53854
but we don't though. lolcow already gets name dropped on social media sites and kf regularly. users who want to stay are here and users who don't left. and more are going to leave once admins start to actually implement clean up rules and hellweek. people have always found the site by word of mouth, and it should stay that way. imageboards in general are dying, even 4chan. i've been to /cgl/ during the pandemic and it's totally dead. and new users want to change board culture with shit like censorship of both words and speech. the newer covid zoomer userbase is shitty because their generation leans that way, not because there are secretly people who would be better for the site.

No. 53857

>>53855
fair enough. i think the boardtan and the name had something to do with it's prevalence on our site itself, but going back years in /cgl/ archives you can see that it was used as a code to direct people to milk here. i just threw in the bit about the term lolcow as a kind of extra tidbit, since i think calling it a lolcow farm has always been pretty funny.

bitch this is dumb. you can tell anyone you want about lolcow.

you weren't even here when the bulk of users left, which was 2017. if you want more users you want more activity or what would the point be? you're obviously just trying to make excuses now because your idea is braindead.

No. 53946

>>53916
Lmao the autism in your replies. I get your point nonna, it would be nice to have a bit more activity with users who fit the website. Just keep in mind that the same people replying to you are also likely the ones who whine about "LC being so slow", "lolcow is finished" and saying "all users left at x year".

No. 53947

>>53946
Not 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

I don't think it's multiple people doing this, it's been the same pattern today as with the joshpocalypse (making new threads using gross people moids love like nikocado, ethan ralph was posted last time, he was liking alogsspace and they love ethan ralph there. etc and having similar text especially with those randomized words at the bottom). They can permaban the ip (whether it's vpn or normal) and remove all posts from that ip, which is what I think they did now judging by how fast they were removed. He's probably getting perma'd every time he spams but he just uses a new vpn location to evade.

Only administrators can deal with raids being carried out this way, and we dealt with it as soon as we were alerted to it! Farmhands/mods cannot do anything with the moderation tools available, it has to be done by directly interacting with the server/database.

>>54521
The recent raid caused a service outage, but it should be returning to normal now.

>>54531
The bot posts with a new IP address and spoofed device information between every post. It's not as simple as permabanning them, as everything we could use to identify them changes between each post.

>>54534
It is likely one person doing it using a bot. Each post has a different IP, we just purged them all manually through the database as that's currently the only way to deal with it. The frontend moderation tools are unfortunately limited!

I just want to let other posters know that if someone's using a VPN the chance of you having your IP banned is extremely low. You're IPs aren't cycled through VPN server farms which is what VPNs tend to use or volunteered IPs they are granted access too and are rented out. I know anons like to say the moids have gotten their IPs shuffled in, but its extraordinarily unlikely and mods/admin probably know this too. Just pointing this out because I'm tired of anons saying their IP was used by someone else when it most likely wasn't and you got banned by accident during the mods activities or its just your ban and mods aren't dumb to think a VPN somehow got access. It's not possible. It doesn't bounce off random people. If you think it's an accident just try appealing.

What 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.

That's what I mean by it's not personal IPs unless you are volunteering them to the VPN farms and getting a rent fee for it. Otherwise you are not using personal IPs. They have their own servers for IPs. If someone is using your IP or your IP got banned on a site and you don't use VPNs and you're super confused, then your IP got stolen and someone could be impersonating you. Just change your IP and I don't mean by using a VPN.

The 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.

>>54607
Yes 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.

No. 54646

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.

Yeah I agree with this, this site isn't just for one type of woman and banning anons because you don't like their opinion is a very quick way to lower the amount of users on this already pretty slow site. Not to mention that what's considered moid-y differs from farmer to farmer so it's not even a clear-cut rule and would make jannies very biased.

No. 54736

>>54735
Not this shit again. It's not about "not liking opinions" but posts that sound like moids. If we went along your logic, no moids would ever be banned because it "could just be a woman with a different opinion uwu~". But that's not how it is. If you want to post like/as a moid, you have literally any other imageboard and forum to do so.

Did you forget that staff can see post history? That anon said "moidbrained girls" so it's clear she doesn't mean actual men and it seems more like she's talking about anons who have dissenting opinions. 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.

This 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.

The supposedly allowed heart is the black heart suit Unicode character (U+2665) which on many modern browsers, particularly mobile, now gets parsed as the heart suit emoji. The original "no emoticons or emoji" lolcow rule was obviously introduced prior to this, so now we really do need a proper updated consensus if this one emoji can still be allowed.
