Hellweek FAQs
>Why is blackpill posting outside of /2X/ considered bait?
Many anons who post blackpill opinions outside of /2X/ do it in a way that inevitably leads to accusations of them being male, dozens of reports, follow up infights etc. Whether or not they intended to start an infight, it still always causes one, so in the end it amounts to bait either way. Blackpill posts made in a way where it's clear they are earnestly held female opinions would not be considered bait, but instead of posts like that we get “all women who have hetsex are cockbreath whores”. Treating these posts as bait is based entirely on the response they generate rather than any opinion on blackpill feminism itself or a desire to censor it.
>During Hellweek, why did you ban users reporting other users as moids?
Please see our earlier post regarding this here >>68121
As we said in the original Hellweek thread:
>Reporting someone you disagree with for being a moid/tranny will receive a ban.
To reiterate, no plausible male accusation will receive a ban. We are not banning users for reporting posts that sound scrotelike (for example the blackpill posts mentioned above) or are otherwise breaking the rules even if they are not correct. The reports that we are taking action against are those that are either made in bad faith (to get back at users the reporter disagrees with) or are the result of unreasonable paranoia (we get many “moid/troon” reports on posts that are entirely benign, on topic and not breaking any rules, because of wrongthink or users thinking they don’t sound “female” enough).
>Why is accusing other users of being male bannable (troonfoiling/scrotefoiling)?
If you suspect that a poster is a scrote or a tranny, then you shouldn’t be responding to them in the first place. Men posting here are doing so to get a reaction, and replying to them just encourages them. As with all other forms of bait, we ask you to report and ignore. If the person you are responding to is a genuine board user, you’re causing an infight for no reason based on your incorrect feeling that a woman cannot post that way. There is no good outcome of making posts accusing other anons of being male.
>Are you planning to remove any offtopic boards (/g/, /m/, /ot/)?
We have no intention of closing any of the offtopic boards. While we believe that the primary reason this site exists is to document/discuss lolcows, we also acknowledge the importance of an anonymous and male-free space for women to socialize and we have no intention of removing that. We simply do not want the site to be driven by users who are here exclusively for those spaces.
>Why are you targeting the Dumbass Shit thread specifically?
The primary issue with the Dumbass Shit Thread from our perspective is the dedicated users that it attracts who refuse to integrate when they post outside the thread. Many of the obvious instances of newfaggotry, lack of integration and bait are made by posters who have 80% of their posts in Dumbass Shit. Frequently these users continue posting like they’re in the thread when they do venture out, leading to infights/reports/complaints from other users. We don’t really feel like these specific users belong on the site (especially because they continually refuse to integrate despite warnings/bans) but they ban evade and continue to come back. Obviously not everyone who uses the thread falls into that category and we understand that many users want a place to shitpost, which is why we decided to lower the posting quality requirements in that thread and autosage it rather than remove it. If we actually wanted to kill it, we’d ban the topic/remove the thread.
>Why aren’t you closing other threads that have worse cases of infighting/bait etc.?
Dumbass Shit isn’t closed, it’s autosaged. The users can continue to make new threads as it fills up and use those threads however they like (with the exception of serious rule breaking). As for why other threads are not locked or autosaged, we have discussed as a team whether or not to close the worst offenders (e.g. Unpopular Opinions) and we’re still keeping an eye on it. We aren’t ruling out closing them in the near future if things do not improve.
>Doing X thing will reduce traffic to the site!
Increasing traffic is not necessarily a good thing; we would prefer quality over quantity when it comes to site users. Driving away anons who refuse to integrate and do not contribute in a meaningful way is something we would actively prefer over being flooded with tourists and low quality posters. Of course we want the site to grow, but only if it’s in the right direction.
>Why aren’t you allowing the posting of general grievances in TIM/TIF etc. threads when they were allowed previously?
Threads on /snow/ were never really supposed to be used that way, and blogposting about personal experiences and grievances should always have been bannable. We acknowledge that the TIM and TIF threads are different to typical cow threads in that they don’t follow a handful of individuals in close detail, but the /snow/ rules about blogposting/derailing remain the same. We’re currently discussing potential solutions for handling the more “general” threads like these. For now we ask that you use the /2X/ thread for general trans venting, or create a new thread in /ot/ if needed.
>Why did you extend Hellweek? Was Hellweek effective?
We extended Hellweek because there were still a lot of rule breaking posts in the areas we were targeting (racebaiting and infighting in particular) being made towards the end of the first week and we felt that more time with both users and farmhands being extra vigilant would be beneficial. As for whether it has been effective, we believe that it has. In a few weeks when we have more data, we’d like to do a comparison of some statistics regarding posts/bans/reports etc. before and after Hellweek, to see if there is a measurable difference. We’ll report these statistics in /meta/ once we have them.
>Will there be more Hellweeks in the future?
Yes, we intend to have more Hellweeks throughout the year as needed.
>Why don’t you ban the use of VPNs?
The main reason is that we think that VPNs are an essential tool for ensuring your personal privacy and we do not want to take that option away from users, especially in a time when some of the discussions that are common here (e.g. expressing gender critical views) are potentially criminal in some countries.
>Are we having a townhall?
While we understand why users ask for townhalls, we have some hesitations regarding using them for important communication with users. Requiring users to be somewhere at a specific time to participate in a discussion isn’t ideal. No matter what time we pick, there will be a significant number of users who cannot make it due to having commitments, or it clashing with their timezone. As you can see from the statistics we posted, just under 50% of posters are in the USA, so if we picked a time convenient to US users, it wouldn’t suit the other 50%. Secondly, the users who make the time to attend may not be a representative sample of the users of the site in general. Using /meta/ as an example: while 5681 devices posted during Hellweek, only 494 of those devices made posts on /meta/, and Hellweek is a much busier time for /meta/ than otherwise. Relying on /meta/ posters alone to gauge the thoughts/needs of the entire user base would not be accurate for that reason. Finally, posts made on Cytube or elsewhere are not permanent. Users who miss them cannot go back and read them. We’d rather have the discussions here, where they can be archived and viewed at any time by both current and future users. While we are not ruling out having one in the future, we don’t have any plans for one at the moment.
>Are twitter/tiktok terms and behaviors (e.g. self-cens*ring) bannable?
When used in a way that signals lack of integration, yes, absolutely, please report them! The language used on this board has and will continue to change over time, but language that clearly signals a poster is a tourist is bannable.
>Why haven’t you banned/redtexted X, Y, Z post?
Generally, if a rulebreaking post has not been redtexted yet, either: a farmhand has not gotten to the report yet, it hasn’t been reported so we haven’t seen it, or the poster was banned for another post so that particular post was not redtexted. Generally it’s one redtext per ban, so if a user went and made 5 rule breaking posts in 5 different threads, only one of them would get redtexted because that user will get one long ban for their posts rather than 5 separate ones. In the past a lot of bans were just not redtexted at all, as that was a policy of previous admins. We have encouraged redtexting bans more frequently as we believe it increases transparency (even if it does make threads uglier/less welcoming).
>Why did it take you so long to post this?
Some of the statistics took more time to collate than others, and during the last week the admins have had conflicting schedules so they didn’t have time to sit down and go through these questions in detail together until now. We have also been discussing potential changes to the site with the senior members of staff, which has taken some time.

Upcoming Changes
We are still discussing some changes internally before suggesting them to users. In particular, these are changes regarding the more general gossip/milk threads such as the TIM/TIF threads and Celebricows (among others) that don't necessarily filt the mold of /snow/. We'll make a separate thread in the future to discuss those proposed changes once we are done considering them internally. We didn't want to delay releasing these results any further while we continued discussing those issues!
The changes that we intend to make are as follows:
We want the moderation process to be more transparent and consistent, so we are going to work on the following changes:
>Changes to internal moderation guidelines to make the most subjective ban reasons (e.g. derailing, off topic) more objective>Making it possible for farmhands to respond to ban appeals with clarification (if needed), and shorten bans. As it is, it is not possible to reply to users and ban appeals can only be rejected or accepted, and there are occasions where shortening a ban would have been more appropriate than accepting/rejecting the appeal outright>Posting site statistics more frequently, potentially having a page dedicated to showing live statisticsMake the site more user friendly, particularly for users who follow slow or autosaged threads:
>Make the catalog more performant, and add features such as the ability to search it>Add the ability to pin/follow threads No. 71252
>>71251I don’t understand the tiktok fag insult? How is it that you genuinely believe

>Make the site more user friendly, particularly for users who follow slow or autosaged threads:>Make the catalog more performant, and add features such as the ability to search it>Add the ability to pin/follow threadsA suggestion would be to make an official grease monkey extension specifically for LC. It may be easier to implement than wrestling with LC's aging IB software. It's been years since I used 4chan but I remember these features being included in 4chanX.
No. 71264
>>71240Really glad to hear about these upcoming changes:
>Changes to internal moderation guidelines to make the most subjective ban reasons (e.g. derailing, off topic) more objectiveThis is a step in the right direction. I also hope that a certain farmhand stops being so autistic about obvious jokes and sarcasm. It’s just embarrassing at this point
>Make the catalog more performant, and add features such as the ability to search it>Add the ability to pin/follow threadsFantastic. Thank you
However, regarding the following points, I’m not convinced cerbmin is adequately addressing the real issues here:
>The primary issue with the Dumbass Shit Thread from our perspective is the dedicated users that it attracts who refuse to integrate when they post outside the threadDo you have any way to verify this? I have a hard time believing that anyone from twitter or tiktok is coming to this site specifically to post in the dumbass shit thread. When I saw the twitterfag accusations first being thrown around after dumbass shit was first locked during hellweek, I searched for “lolcow.farm” on both twitter and tiktok to see if anyone had name-dropped it recently. however, I found that there were barely any mentions of it at all. of course, it’s obvious that we do have anons here that use twitter speech and need to integrate better, but it isn’t 2014 when most internet users stuck mainly to one or two social media platforms. I think the average internet user today user browses most social media platforms, on occasion. rather than coming here directly from twitter or tiktok, I think most newfags find this site by googling cows, as I assume it’s always been post-cgl migration. therefore, I think the correlation between dumbass shit thread and newfags is vastly overstated and probably just wrong. we should be focusing on quality posting on cow boards instead. One way to do this is to reintegrate /w/ into /snow/, as /w/ has become a milkless cesspool of nitpicking and cows self-posting.

We’ll report these statistics in /meta/ once we have them.I’m entirely unconvinced that hellweek has been effective because I, and many other anons, it seems, have noticed a stark decline post-hellweek. I’ll wait for the update, as maybe you can prove otherwise, but I’m worried farmhands are willfully ignoring how they’ve contributed to the decline of this site and overselling their positive contributions in the last month or so

>>71268This seems like a fair estimate, and it’s honestly concerning. I don’t disagree with cerbmin that we don’t want to expand in the wrong direction, but it feels like we’re losing anons every day, and it’s not necessarily newfags leaving. So many oldfags have already left because they’re sick of what the farm has become. We do need to expand the userbase of this site if we want it to survive

>>71271>This seems like a fair estimate, and it’s honestly concerning.I wish we could compare it to previous data, but I doubt it had been logged properly since the past few admins were doing a very lackluster job in general. I feel like we definitely peaked during the pandemic for obvious reasons. The bunker threads on cc went by crazy fast and when you think about it only a fraction of the lc population probably even knew about those threads.
I'm a bit torn on the population topic, on one hand I wouldn't mind lc becoming a tad more niche but generally well behaved and comfortable, on the other hand I wouldn't mind a more chaotic and active imageboard but I feel like that would get tiring fast.

No. 71297
Unpopular opinion but I think /w/ should stay. Worst board but I don't see how combining it with /snow/ would make it better. The pixielocks thread is the highlight of it and the way it is now is better than having to constantly scroll through other /snow/ threads and finding it. I like opening /w/ and always seeing it there. Pixielocks anons are like their own type of community.
It also has important /cgl/ legacy cows like Dakota and Venus in it.
>>71288I think if Town Halls were scheduled more frequently, the problem that they describe wouldn't be so bad, the responses would be immediate on both ends vs a bunch of anons complaining and never getting an answer and baiting on /meta/. The movie night girls schedule their cytube pretty well for example.
>>71255I agree with creating that /img/ board for image dumping and letting /m/ be its own beast, though I'm scared that /img/ might be too desolate. One other suggestion I have is to create another board for community focused drama instead of individuals and take a lot of that type of threads, specially the ones in /ot/, over there. I would love to see /com/ becoming a reality and it has great potential to grow.

This is a pretty solid vision statement - yeah, I know, I know - that splits up userbase and staff and examines both.

No. 71347
>>71326your stats for #2 are going to be skewed by the way certain boards were already moderated to death or extremely slow. The solution is not to kill off cow boards or threads. This site is for cows.
It would be nice to see discussion of cows allowed instead of everything getting banned for "tinfoil" or 'nitpicking" - this has truly ruined the spirit of the site. Actual tinfoil is speculating that Kiki works the streets as a prostitute or Venus is secretly enrolled at Harvard: there's no basis at all to say these things. Speculating about how Venus damaged her teeth or how a cow (like Kiki or Stef) does make money in a reasonable way based on what they themselves hint at… is not tinfoil. It's discussion.
Discussing a cow's content is not nitpicking. Discussing clothing or design (which anyone can change as long as they aren't dirt poor) is the furthest thing from nitpicking. It was the basis of /cgl/ and this needs to change or you'll never have a userbase that enjoys discussing cows and works to police itself.
Here's another strange example of overmoderation: the large # of bans in the new book/author cow thread in /snow. That's a great new thread, with milk that continues to flow. Many of the so-called derailing bans were anons sharing background to these publishing companies or the ways these glorified x-rated fanfic authors get book deals and promote themselves. There were bans for discussing the way they market porny writing to young teens with cutesy cover art, bans for talking about how their characters end up in degrading sexual situations with zero warning about this in the promo. I didn't post a single time in that thread but it was a breath of fresh air in /snow/, it has good anons in it, it's not attacking people for their looks… so why are you moderating it to death? That's a genuine question. I won't sit here and defend every post but I commend the anons who continued to post despite getting so many unwarranted bans. Your discussions were/are interesting and entertaining. I can't understand the farmhand trying to curb discussion of fresh milk in that thread, of all threads.

It's not a long-term solution and will unlikely make the worst offenders go away, they'll just go to the next remotely similar thread and shit that one up. A better solution would be to improve on ways that make ban evasion harder (aka banning vpns or at least making device-based bans possible).

I understand that in theory but in reality, who else gets to see IPs besides the staff? Nevermind IPs just give vague locations that can be several kilometers apart, not the exact place we live in. Literally all other imageboards have heaps of much worse material posted on them by the daily without any repercussions (unless moids start shooting up places), so how likely is it really that law enforcement will bust our doors open for making fun of trannies? How many of us truly use vpns because they absolutely can't browse here otherwise? This is where votings could help..
It doesn't even have to be all vpns. I bet just doing something about free VPNs/proxies would be an improvement, so the people constantly shitting up lolcow at least have to pay for it.

>>71463This group of posters or I suspect a single poster will complain that tradthots are taking over LC when I have never seen anything that I would regard as tradthot being posted here. It seems insane until you understand how this person thinks. They regard anything that tradthots may do as being tradthot even if it's a normal non-tradthot activity
Examples
>Anons discussing cooking in a food threadTradthots believe they should cook food for their husband so anyone that talks about cooking is a tradthot
>Anons discussing growing vegetables in a gardening threadTradthots believe in homesteading so anyone growing their own food is a tradthot
>Anons discussing sewing or knitting in a crafting threadTradthots believe they need to sew up the crotch of their husband's pants and darn his socks so anyone that likes crafting is a tradthot
>Anons discussing heterosexual relationshipsTradthots believe they should marry men so anyone in a heterosexual relationship is a tradthot

not talking about the faked survey ones they do for elections and shit, those suck. That and the farmhands sharing their decisions after the stats shows a will to be transparent with us. However I think the farmhands should put a pin on the the townhall idea because we might need it to really open the communication again (which a lot of people seem to think is not there on /meta/ as the farmhands don't seem to react sometimes)

How dare those filthy milkmaids post their AITA posts in my advice threads? Noo, instead we need more shotaposting and more terminally online zoomer discord chat retardation on every dumbass-like thread so they end up ruining the fun for the rest of us by locking and autosaging the thread. Oh no a mommy is posting! The horror! How dare they not switch to a tranny infested website instead. Yeah surely they can get better advice over there than a community of like-minded women. Fucking mommyfags get out of my board!! REEEEE
Not a mommy btw.

>>71513How is it annoying? Generally they just stick to advice threads and those threads have always had people with husbands in it. Just ignore those posts, close the window, close your eyes, turn off the computer. It's not a big deal, it's not like they're asking for your specific advice anon. People who want to reply will reply, like, I just don't get it. It's not annoying to me, but maybe I'm more used to being patient with women despite not being very social myself.
Like, I get it if it's hard to socialize and empathize with women, but I'm a loner that might not even marry in the future and those posts have never stood out to me. I wonder what the true issue with anons not liking those posters is. This is genuine curiosity. Like, if you had a husband you would also vent I think that's how I see it.

No. 71605
we've always had a few anons on here over the years who were married and had kids. it's never been something that most people even mentioned or really seemed to care much about until now. i don't really have a bone to pick on this anyway, this is just a general observation since i've been watching the discussion on the mom poster thing since that one anon mentioned it. at the core of the issue with the site is a generational problem that is continually brought up here but never properly addressed. yes, there are older users on here, including myself, who are over the age of 25. we're the reason why this board even exists in the first place, lol.
some of the younger users appear to have a kind of mental aversion to the idea of posting with people who are older than them, which is both ridiculous and bizarre since we're all eventually going to get old, including the younger farmers. it seems like every over month we have some new fangled reason for why the younger posters don't want to deal with oldfags or why you guys don't like them and it's exhausting dealing with the immaturity and childishness. i'm not going to go through all those different reasons, but at some point you guys need to stop trying to control and police every user on this board. just enjoy lolcow for what it is and stop freaking out about every little thing that you aren't doing which other anons are. maybe you too will eventually pop out a couple of crotch goblins or get married to a nigel when you're in your late 20's or early 30's, it isn't the end of the world. i don't want to be rude or mean since no one deserves that but seriously, some of you need to live a little more and be a lot less anal about every little thing that doesn't always affect you personally.

This. This mentality is all over the internet too, specially around fandom spaces and TikTok zoomers.
It makes sense then that a lot of threads are now focused on fandom and TikTok. The zoomers are here. And that's ok, if they only knew how share the space with the rest of the population.

No. 71639
>>71621This is a straw man argument. Not liking uncontained baby posts and husband rants does not equal hating people over 25 unless you think all women over 25 should be getting married and becoming mothers and taking to lolcow to post about their husband’s dumb shit behavior and then refusing to take any advice and fighting with people to defend their nigel. There are plenty of oldfags and over 25ers (I am one of them as of this year) who don’t have a pet moid and children, and there are even those who
do that somehow manage to continue to act normally and keep their baby and Nigel shit in the respective /g/ threads.
Now we literally have mothers with postpartum psychosis venting about wanting to hurt their babies in the vent thread and others complaining about hating their in laws that may as well be copy pasted from Reddit and one retard who posts almost every day about “ZOMGGGG I am having pregnancy cravings for Aburi sushi! Aburi sushi guise!” that always devolves into infighting about eating fish while pregnant and I’m sorry. I’m so sorry but it’s wearing me out.

>>71697>>71684>how would you want to split up /ot/?And why would you want to split up /ot/ anyway?
Compared to /m/, /ot/ is in no way unusuable because of these so-called community threads. They're actually the minority on /ot/. On the other hand, image dump threads are choking any other type of /m/ thread that isn't an image dump. Case in point, another image dump thread just got moved there from /ot/ so it can take up even more space.
There is no such case in /ot/. "Community" threads are perfectly usable and always on the front page.
What problem are you even trying to solve? If it's about organising thread topics, I second the anon who said that even if things appear to be more organized, splitting boards just reduces traffic. Do you wanna kill off /ot/ too?

>>71703It's not that I hate community threads, that's not true at all. I just think there will come a point when too many topics at once will flood /ot/ and it won't be as easy to read as it's been in the past, in the end splitting it up is just an idea thrown into the air, not something I want to fight about or anything like that
I just think we have enough threads in /ot/ and the range is so wide and vast, that I wonder when the off topic label will be enough for everything, you know? if some threads are more on topic with other drama boards, maybe there's something worth looking into there. Absolutely not moving them into /snow/ though, /snow/ is already good as it is. Like I said I don't mind it, this is just a "what if" scenario

The pettiness of derails is annoying but don't censor and shut down discussion on yet another contentious issue because of a personal hang up. It should be your responsibility to reveal the samefags that feed the derail or allow this discussion to continue as it gained enough presumably genuine traction. Apparently this is a contentious issue amongst the community that is being discussed, is that not the purpose of this thread and meta in general? Unless the majority of those posts are samefags. Then you've only allowed derailing on one side. Also, did anyone ever respond to that one anon that asked if it was possible to upload multiple images at once? If you make complaints in the Complaints thread it is dead radio silence and this thread is one of the only ones that gets any responses.

For me the husbandofag stuff was funnier when it was lighthearted and nobody fought over whose husbando was superior, came from a better anime, or looked more handsome or kawaii etc because everyone understood that they were just a bunch of autists into 2D drawings and everyone was like "ok cool". But now everyone is the same as the Tumblr and TikTok types that fight over this shit and like, for what reason? Seriously. Everyone got along better when the retarded husbandofag thread started, then people got so defensive over time and husbandofags don't tolerate their own kind over very small stupid shit, let alone other posters. Cow behavior

An example I've seen some threads ago
>lol @ aidens insisting Astarion is gay even though he's obviously player-sexual just because he's "faggy">but Astarion is so uglyEven the yesterday infight in that thread was like that
>lol @ aidens trooning out to skinwalk their husbando (posts Yakuza character as example)>but he's so uglyOK, but what does that have to do with that previous post? Read the room. Are you autistic?

I actually looked at the thread and that anon DID deserve a ban, but not for saying she needed a break.

Hence why you now have older farmers partly banned into pretending they're women(tradthots) and newfags who follow along with that.
And since we cop a ban for daring to speculate it's not written by a woman and thus can be taken with a grain of salt, moids/trannys can happily post their pol incel shit here, get all the attention they want, larp for 'gender euphoria' and derail threads. And IF they're banned after 7 hours of spewing their shit under the guise of "being a woman with a different opinion uwu", you know they're just going to ban evade and do the same thing all over again. It's so tiring.

>And since we cop a ban for daring to speculateThat's why it's banned because it's nothing but speculation. There is no way to know on an anonymous image board if the person you are talking to is actually a woman. You either accept it or you go and post somewhere like reddit or tumblr that has accounts and has a poster's gender and preferred pronouns listed in their profile. This has been explained multiple times by admins, farmhands and anons. It's impossible to guarantee that only women can post here because LC is an image board.

>>72550Samefag just to add that this is the third post within 10 minutes that the same baiter has made, at this point flaunting how easy ban evasion can be for certain retarded people (see picrel.) I think we need to seriously consider banning phone posting at this point or talking about ways we can fix this issue. I love using my phone to browse LC, and I'm sad to say that I think it'd be better to just ban phone browsing for a while until something better comes along. I'd much rather just wait until I got to a desktop to post things instead of getting the same barrage of bait from phone posters using private browsers.
No. 72568
>>72550>>72552Yes that's what I meant. Though I think rangebanning free and popular vpn providers would be enough for a first step, phone internet providers are way too broad.
>>72563It's a relic from 4chan. Phoneposters were synonymous with bad quality posts in the earlier '10s.

>>72583Not to be mean but you sound like a tattletale tbh…
>>72586It's better for discussions to be spaced out amongst several different threads! We are still discussing mundane things in the mundane event thread, if we get side tracked that's just how convos go!
No. 72592
>>72587Not to be mean but you sound like a retard
>>72586I agree it's only leaking the dumbassery to other threads that don't need it. Mundane shit has always been a slow thread but it's clear what they're trying to do.

Silly little thing but I wish you could put the search link option that is next to the catalog inside threads too, not just on the board itself.
No. 72785
>>72769It's sad nona. It's hard too, because you'll probably never get an answer, or someone will come infight with you. But I feel the same and have gotten vendettabanned recently. I was going to post about it after it expired, but whatever. I typed it up and then just closed the window and went back to working on my own shit. We should probably document when it happens, because it is an abuse of mod powers to vendettaban people who have criticisms of moderation, and especially so by hunting for some BS post to ban them for. I don't use a VPN so it's not the VPN.
Cue the anon who comes in to tell us every ban is deserved. It's like that song "every sperm is sacred." It used to be ok to express opinions without getting banned or insulted/told you're lying.
I hope you can connect with more people, nona. But I hope you keep posting in your favorite threads and keking along. We all need to support each other, this world sucks and it won't get any better unless we support each other.

sorry if I'm being impatient, but I tried appealing this ban (post isn't mine) and it was rejected. I tried emailing like it says but haven't seen a response. the ip is my cell network so not like super important but I don't think I should have to do the time when I didn't commit the crime?
No. 72823
>>72818That’s not really a rule. Unless she announced that in a cow thread it’s not against the rules to blog or all of ot would be shut down. Plus the ban was removed anyway so clearly your precious jannies realized they made a mistake.
>>72817Ok now I know you’re a troll, people get banned for other peoples posts all the time, IPs bounce around. Also the idea that you have to sage here?!
No. 72892
>>72856Samefag I'll reply to myself with the ones I have on top of my head:
>/img/ and /m/ split>Moving threads to /m/>More than one picture per post, max 3>Instagram reel embedding>Better catalog>Pinning threads>Search option inside threadsAnd I will add this one since we have more banners already
>Add more banners kek No. 72913
>>72906this will really fuck up links for a
second time. It never should have been separated, but I don't want everything broken again!
No. 72935
>>72932I think at this point, people who use /w/ want to stay in /w/
Again, it will kill the links, it'll make everything messy for no purpose other than satisfying anon's ocd, /w/ has its own culture now and the fact Jillian is so popular there makes sense for example. It also stores a lot of the /cgl/ era cows

>>72937>some weeks agoNta but we're talking about recently
>casual banter and funny anonssome are posting things that are flat out off-topic, i mean literally nothing to do with confessions in the slightest, not even replying to anything and someone in mundane shit alogged an anon for enjoying the mario movie. is this considered 'banter' now?
No. 72946
>>72943Just report them
nonny. When I see the very overt retarded ones I immediately report.
No. 73062
>>73037I've been having this error too!! For me it's like some posts have no cool down and you can post thing after another. But sometimes you post something and then you get the 30 second cool down message, and it doesn't last 30 seconds, it's longer than that. I wonder why?
I have this error mostly on /m/ in those image dump threads but I believe it's sitewide
No. 73185
>>73183Sanefag, but hell you would also think they would do more to control the insights that go on for hours in /meta/ if it was about cutting back on autism. Or even do something about shayfags, but instead the admins encouraged their autism and newfaggotry.
To be frank, I don't have a problem with the dumbass shit thread getting autosaged. I have a problem with the fact that they are being inconsistent with how they're choosing to handle threads. And it's pretty dishonest too considering this is coming after admins preached about how they would listen to farmers and not act on their own biases.
No. 73186
>>73184Celebrities, fandom drama, and unpopular opinions were never autosaged, what are you talking about? If you mean the dumbass shit thread anons, I mean yeah obviously they will complain but that complaining doesn't kill a thread.
>I swear, I don't think some of you even know what is going on and just reading posts ITT to reply to.I'm literally the OP kek.
No. 73191
>>73187>won't get those threads autosaged But admins said they were considering it, so which is it?
>I've been able to fit what I would post there into another threadThis is the problem though. Anons keep posting shit that would typically fit in the dumbass shit thread in other threads.
No. 73201
>>73184Not even involved in this debate, but you realize that /meta/ is the place to come for complaints about moderation right? I’m glad they’re posting about it here and not derailing other threads. Btw, calling other anons children doesn’t make you sound smart
>>73178Agreed. I cannot emphasize enough how much I think the culture here would improve if unpopular opinions was autosaged. That thread attracts infighting and edgelords more than any other thread, and if it’s autosaged newfags are less likely to find it
No. 73203
>>73201I mean this thread is what 26 days old. Dumbass was autosages before then and this entire thread has bee derailed by anons complaining about the dumb ass thread and doing gay little baiting psyops to get other threads closed or advertising on 4chan.
You can post a criticism or complaint and wait for farmhands reply, but like it's been addressed the dumbass thread, weeks ago. Move on
No. 73278
>>73240I suggested implementing the
get if off your chest thread rule of not replying but not sure if it was considered by admins
No. 73285
>>73283I guess so kek. I wish they stuck to the Amerifag thread for real
What happened to the eurofag thread btw? Was it dismantled?
No. 73295

>Like the vent thread, anons shouldn't be able to reply and complain about the opinion.She didn't mention the unpopular opinion thread, that's why
No. 73335
>>73326Okay then a rule where you can only reply if you agree lmao
It’s constantly full of infighting it’s a fine thread but it’s not being used well
No. 73346
>>73335If someone says something super outrageous like "women deserve to be raped" but in a subtler not very apparent bait-y way or whatever and nobody can reply to it will only become a way to troll this website even harder, and if only people who agree reply to that opinion can reply to say "all women should be raped, become trad and have 4 babies" it will make it so it will look like the site's culture has changed into woman hating trad life central. People keep replying to bait but the problem are the baiters themselves, if you make it so no one replies then moderation will have to be stricter and never take their eyes off the thread
I would agree with the no reply rule, but it has to be that no one, not even people who agree, could reply. But it will become troll central very fast
No. 73389
>>73387I agree. And because we have so many newfags, they keep biting his retarded bait because they don’t know how to clock him yet. The debacle after the dumbass shit autosage was ridiculous and I get the sense farmhands like to let him run free because he argues for them and shits up the thread to drown out any
valid complaints.

>>72773Seconded. Was just thinking about this.
>>73349>just because someone have moid views doesn't make them a moidlol that's always been a thing here. Anyone who takes an even vaguely moid position (or is (mis)interpreted that way) usually gets accused of being a scrote. Speaking from experience lmao.
