alright, so i was just in a thread on /a/ asked about where to get anime out of 250+ posts, about 20 of them actually gave a real answer everything else was "cancer", "lurk moar", "underage faggot", etc. so, i ask /a/ sticky when?
Everyone who has been on /f/ knows that a lot of it's content, may it be good or bad, is not really compliant to the rules. After all, /f/'s rule #1 is: 'All uploaded files should be uniquely Japanese (pertain to Japanese culture). "Run of the mill" content is to be had elsewhere.' Yet a decent amount of this "run of the mill" content is of the same quality as "uniquely Japanese" flash animations, making them a constructive, if not vital, contribution to /f/. This is only made possible by the very forgiving moderation on this board, of course. However, seeing the mlp - fiasco and everything related to it I'd suggest making .swf-files uploadable on other boards as well. Much like there are spoiler images to replace thumbnails, there could easily be "flash"-images implemented in the same manner, so that the OP for example doesn't look so naked (I doubt it's a good idea to implement the flash directly in the OP due to resizing and maybe bandwidth issues). Same goes for replies with .swf files. For pragmatic reasons the number of flash per thread/board could be limited, and the currently uploaded flashs of all boards (except /f/) could be listed on a separate "board" maybe /fr/ - flash register. This could solve the "problem" of pony-flashs on /f/ as well. What do you think?
He already said he doesn't hate it. Every damn time it's brought up outside of /v/ there's a good majority that doesn't hate it. People have pointed out whole sections of the board that'd accept it. Legal issues and ramifications for the website have been addressed. Even the argument of it being elsewhere's been proven for the fallacy it is. And all Moot says is "No. I'm not changing the rule ever."
Well, yes, he has that power, but surely there's some reasoning to it, because I don't damn well see it. WHY is the ban still in place? Is it tradition? Did Snacks or someone make a bet with him on it? What exactly is the driving force on this decision?
And I want MOOT's answer. I understand what /q/ may feel. I want MOOT'S answer.
We're all worried about 'THAT' fandom coming in with 'THAT' porn, right?
Well, what if we used something that would end up as its own several threads, appeasing those that wanted it without overwhelming /d/, while keeping the board slow enough to deal with any troublemakers that come along?
Kemono is japanese anthro, but it's also disconnected from the fandom and artist wars. (Most people can tell you about Naylor's bullshit. What do you know about Sindoll? Exactly, drama's lost in Japan, if it's even there) And it's usually of (RELATIVELY) higher quality art. Plus, artists like Team Shuffle are already posted there, so it's not a massive jump of artists. However, it's not as varied, rooting in the smaller kemono fanbase that is more disconnected from the litigious west. (If we were worried about eastern porn artists suing us, we'd not make porn boards period.) As such any shitposters would be easy to spot and report like in /d/ today, cutting down on the bullshit while leaving the few that can play nice.
So, here's my idea for a sort of diluted compromise. -Add eastern-only 'kemono' art with a new /d/ rule 3: " 'Kemono' art is exempt from Global Rule 3 in /d/ only, DO NOT ABUSE THIS PRIVILEGE." -Allow for it to be posted in other threads IF it matches the fetish, (kemono is less varied on fetishes though, so it'll probably be a minimal spread, some futa, some petplay, some transformation, but not enough to overwhelm any thread) but it HAS to be Japanese. -keep people on enough of an edge to start reporting shitposters on either side, but not enough that it's a big war.
/d/ is slow enough that one smaller part of the fetish disconnected from the fandom won't drown out the board, but it'll sate the few people who are of that 4chan /d/ mentality that keep asking for anthro without the potential of attracting bigger sections of the fandom elsewhere. And if it does, and they can't play by the rules, we'll do what we've always done for those people; ban them.
Wrestlemania is only one day away and /sp/ will be flooded with WWE threads which is off topic as it isn't sports related. What are the rosters for mods tomorrow? I think you may need some extra staff and a dedicated mod to be on /sp/ all day to delete wrestlemania threads and ban anyone discussing it. I would happily be a mod/janitor tomorow without pay and feel I would set a good example of how to properly moderate this place.
Look through this thread. You see this? This fucking ridiculous "fanbase" shitposting NEEDS to come to an end. What makes it worse is that retards still dive into the bait like there's some type of prize for it, and they should be banned alongside the shitposters. Some say making words an autoban does nothing, but it's worth a try. It's sickening that these retards run rampant around the board and nothing is done about it.
That aside, you MODS better prepare to deal with this shit again as Siztra/Pork Wrangler and his cronies try to push it as the "next SAO". Please, at least TRY to do something about these people.
I propose the creation of a Gundam board. /m/ failed completely, all because of /a/, and we have cosntant flooding of Super Robot shit and VOTOMS and moeshit like Dirty Pair and Bubblegum Crisis threads all the time,every day, nonstop. Gundam isnt discussed properly beacuse of this userbase. If we were able to have a board specifically for Gundam, just like bronies got /mlp/, we'd be able to discuss our seinen show more peacfully.
So /pol/ just wasn't enough was it, you shitstains?
/s4s/ is it. Thats fucking it.
I just wanted to let you shitstains know that this will not go unopposed.
I'm contacting all interested parties; #ows, revleft, the ACLU anyone I can. .I'm starting a movement to force this site to moderated properly.
Everytime someone posts something that would outrage the public we're capping it and stirring up shit over it. Everytime illegal content is posted we're going to be all over it. We're going to create a public outcry to have this site either removed or properly moderated.
You WILL fucking stop enabling hate and bigotry. Soon, fascists.
