>>3280Are raid threads allowed?
>>3380>You'll have to talk me a bit further through this one I really don't see how making anons integrate then dissolving their general causes this.If you try to force them to integrate against their will, they'll grow resentful and want to leave the site rather than doing what you want them to do. That's what he's talking about when he says what you're proposing will lead to Balkanization.
>>3381As far as I know, yes, but check the catalogue first to make sure there isn't a raiding/fishing thread already up. If there is, just post in that.
>>3382>That's what he's talking about when he says what you're proposing will lead to Balkanization.Alight then first I'd like to point out an inconsistency. If they were well integrated would this be an argument? Would those who are constantly interacting with us want to leave just because we tell them to post their content in different threads? It doesn't sound very fitting to me.
Regardless I don't view those who will leave because they cannot have their general as losing something valuable. Their community won't be forced off, their content will be encouraged, and above all I'd expect them to understand our position. Still if there are those who leave from us saying that we'd rather them post in designated threads to this type of content rather then keep in all large broad general that siphons away users traffic and potential conversations outside of it then I say so be it those are the types I don't mind losing.
>>3381Threads about raids and raiding are allowed
>>3383There are two issues with this:
1. This still doesn't solve the issue of where Anonfilly content will go, as from that point onwards any Anonfilly-based thread can be seen as a recreation of the general and deleted.
2. How would you like it if, for example, your workplace were to remove their restrooms, while saying that it's still okay to use the restrooms, just not here? That's what deleting the Anonfilly threads will do. You're saying they can still post Anonfilly, they just can't do it in the place specifically designed for Anonfilly.
>>3385>This still doesn't solve the issue of where Anonfilly content will go, as from that point onwards any Anonfilly-based thread can be seen as a recreation of the general and deleted.Anon please no more straw-mans. I don't want to delete anonfilly stuff I want anonfilly to understand the problem and just not making any more anonfilly generals.
>How would you like it if, for example, your workplace were to remove their restrooms, while saying that it's still okay to use the restrooms, just not here? I don't use my works restrooms :^)But in all seriousness this point also has the problem that you assume that's what I want to do. I'm asking that anonfilly understand the problem at hand and ween themselves off their general. To your metaphor that'd be like saying the building had a rule against eating in the office but mostly everyone did it anyways. I'm the guy saying don't eat in the office any everyone is going crazy because they are screaming where do we eat!?
Easy answer, the lunchroom or in this case the threads for the specific stuff.
>>3386I agree we need to have one dedicated anon filly thread.
>>3386>I don't want to delete anonfilly stuff I want anonfilly to understand the problem and just not making any more anonfilly generals.So, if someone made an Anonfilly thread after you enacted your master plan, what would you do to the thread?
>>3379>>3382Thank you, these beautifully articulate my position, which I haven't succeeded at yet. I do feel that amending rule 9 along the lines of "we reserve the right to refuse service" is worth considering, but as far as AF is concerned I'm unalterably opposed to any restriction or prohibition implicit or otherwise, on principle that - like /mlpol/ - they are persona non grata on 4ch and provide near constant content. I don't participate beyond an occasional opportunistic shitpost, but as has been said that ship has sailed imo.
>>3378I didn't address your points because they are either stuff you have been told in this very thread, or just your old points redressed and reworded. I am not the one who has no faith in my fellow Anons, it's you, you keep bringing this shit up because you, fundamentally, do not trust the good judgement of your peers. You keep citing rule 9 as though everyone browsing this site is unaware of it, and unaware of Anonfilly being a general, as though you are the only one that sees clearly. Everyone knows, everyone is already well aware of the cancer generals have become, and has left Anonfilly alone because it is not something they consider cancer, only you.
You argue that Anonfilly is insular despite having zero evidence to that effect, just as there is zero evidence to claim that they are not. It's all assumptions, and if you actually wanted to resolve this, you would go in their fucking thread and ask them, but no, you want nothing to do with it am I right? You probably even filter it to that effect. I am not out of line in any way, shape or form, any appearance to the contrary is your arrogant assumption and no one else's.
For the record, I don't like you, not one bit, my gut tells me you don't give a fuck about this site or its community. My reasoning tells me you're a fucking newfag to chans who doesn't understand how the culture works, to clarify further, your chance to be an oldfag and see a real chan passed in 08 or you wouldn't be a disgusting rulefag. Lucky for you then, applicant, that what you see here is 4chan as it was before it became shit, as the leaf said, we are self policing and have good staff, so shut the fuck up and trust your fellow Anons to be able to tell when something is cancer and needs to be removed.
>>3390I will fight you on the notion that the anon in question does not give a shit about this community. No one writes out that much when they don't give a shit.
Also, I'm 100% sure this is Plus, the guy that manages the /mlpol/ team in the /pol/ league. I can tell by past threads, and that he likes to post ponks a lot fpr some reason. To put the work he has in means he does give a shit. I think he is being irrational, but he does care. >>3390Are you shitting me? Do you know who he is?
>>3391I would argue that he doesn't, because he says absolutely nothing about another thread that was in a similar position to Anonfilly, which is OiE, it's status as
fucking dead and [/i]literally living on bump posts right now[/i] not withstanding, it is technically the very definition of a cancerous general of people from offsite whom we have no evidence of their participation in the site at large. Does he say anything about that? No. Because it's not an active thread, there aren't many people to blatantly bully into posting as he wants.
>>3392I don't give a fuck who he is or what he does, regardless of his contributions he has consistently been a massive twat on this issue. Not to mention avatarfagging is blatant attention whoring mostly done because he wants attention and recognition on a site whose culture is anti-identity.
>>3393You bring up a good point with the OiE thing, which further shows why this thread is important. However, that still does not mean he does not care about /mlpol/. Everyone here wants this place to be successful, so please both of you please stop this drama shit and work to come up with a mutually agreeable solution.
>>3388Its almost as if we didn't have a way to enforce the rules when we made them. Or maybe its the rules we came up with to keep shit we didn't like off here.
>>3390>For the record, I don't like you, not one bit, my gut tells me you don't give a fuck about this site or its communityThe sad part is this is the only thing that isn't an adhom, a strawman, or an appeal to popularity. Still not an argument. Hell yah I'll argue and fuck up some shit with everyone if I disagree enough. Just because everyone believes something doesn't make it right, and if I'm wrong others can prove me so, in fact if it wasn't for you derailing shit it might have actually happened. I'd love to be proven wrong or told that my concerns are invalid. But so far the only one who has argued with my points to such an extent that I had to think was a leaf. He was right I was acting like a child but at least I'm self aware enough to notice when I act like one. Everything I've done is justifiable and I won't rant about it anymore, have a good day.
>>3391>spoilersWhy not post the best pony as much as you can?
Also if I'm being irrational you are not helping anyone by not saying how.>>3394>mutually agreeable solution.If you can think of one go for it, I've listed off what I think are viable solutions.
The only thing I can think of that'd be a decent solution would be giving them their own board, but I dislike this idea nearly as much as amending the rules. But I guess given the given the alternative of amending the rules this would be my only alternative I would begrudgingly accept.
>>3395You didn't answer the question.
>>3397After the Anonfilly thread is gone, if someone makes a thread about Anonfilly, what would you do?
>>3395Have you not ever heard of the fallacy fallacy? I'll argue properly with you when you stop redressing your opinion every time it gets refuted.
>I won't rant about it anymoreUntil you bring it up again a month or so later, like you have the past couple times.
>>3398Didn't I answer that?
I mean obviously I'd put on my mod powers and insta perma ban dem bad bois because I'm the biggest meanest
fakest mod around.
But to your point ask to stop, ignore, R10.
>>3399Your acting like a child.
Your only substantive points boiled down to I don't like you.
I still like you even if I disagree with you and know you dislike me and my view on things.
>>3400>Low brow insult>Just like his use of "brainlet" earlierWho's using ad hominem now?
Refute these.
>The board is self policing against cancer.>People will like things you don't like.>People will post as they so choose.>General threads are cancer when they're cancer, not before.>Avatarfagging betrays a lack of understanding anonymous culture, and by extension, the posting habits of said culture.>You are not special, if you have noticed something, chances are a great many people have noticed it before you.>Punishing for pre-crime is wrong.>It is not your board.Saying you're not going to rant about something anymore, then coming back to rant about it some more is likewise not a smart thing to do. If you're going to stop, then stop, if not, at least have the courtesy of being coherent.
>>3401>Insult>This much a lack in self awareness...I love you anon but Its really hard to love the shit that keeps coming from you.I honestly should just ignore your shit but in good faith I will seriously answer your stuff one more time because >aussie. I've thrown you the bone of good faith a few times but I doubt it'll come back. So lets refute some things.
>The board is self policing against cancer.Very broad but I assume you are referring to how I don't want it to be a mods do all. I talked about this already.
>People will like things you don't like.I don't believe this and I think your purposefully attempting to portray me as believing this.
>People will post as they so choose.1 contradictory with another one of your arguments but also I have no problem with this.
>General threads are cancer when they're cancer, not before.Generals can be cancer or not, but don't belong here to what I have already state.
>Avatarfagging betrays a lack of understanding anonymous culture, and by extension, the posting habits of said culture.1 I and other have hinted at this but it keeps going over your head. I tripped in the thread this argument stemmed from so I assumed everyone I was going to be arguing with knew it so I saw no reason not to post exactly like how I wanted. This is where your other argument contradicts.
>You are not special, if you have noticed something, chances are a great many people have noticed it before you.Sounds like your getting a little mad at how special I am. But even if I'm not, which I obviously am, guess I'll have to bring it up more often to get more talks going about these things I'm just realizing. Think of all the traffic we could be getting.
:^)>Punishing for pre-crime is wrong.But lad, a general's existence isn't a pre crime, its a post crime. Same with all rule violations.
>It is not your board.Damn, I thought Atlas said it was. Oh well, guess I'll have to buy it from him when I get more good boy points the mods give me.
>Saying you're not going to rant about something anymore, then coming back to rant about it some more is likewise not a smart thing to do. If you're going to stop, then stop, if not, at least have the courtesy of being coherent.>rantAlso the context of what I said seems have have flown over your head lad. But you've shown this pattern before, so I will clarify, I was saying I wouldn't rant about justifying my choices.
>>3402Thanks for answering, now that I understand exactly what kind of person you are, I can talk to you instead of at you. You don't like
any recurring threads, and I'm willing to wager your starting board was /b/ considering how vehemently against them you are. There's no further point in me arguing with you as you will not back down from your claim of all generals being bad simply because they are generals. I am grateful that the decision to ban them or not is not up to you.
I thought we'd left the anti-general general behind on /mlp/ to be honest.
>>3402>Oh well, guess I'll have to buy it from him when I get more good boy points the mods give me.I'll sell it to you for a klondike bar\r
>>3404I'll buy it for some pocket change and a $2 bill
>>3406you're a disgrace to Ancaps everywhere, I can at least offer $20 in pocket change.
>>34091 whole BitcoinAnd maybe a Klondike bar if I'm feeling generous
>>3404Um... I have my love to offer
>>3410dude, I think we may have been outbid by
>>3411. Join together to outbid him and have joint custody?
>>3412Shit, we have been outbid. I'll take this deal
FUCK IT I'LL GO ALL IN. TAKE EVERYTHING! MY LIFE MY SOUL! TAKE MY MONEY MY FAMILY!
I JUST WANT A CUTE PONY AND POLITICS WEBSITE!
>>3413alright, we have 1 bitcoin, over 9 thousand dollars, and a klondike bar. Is that enough, Atlas?
>>3415Is a soul worth more than a bitcoin? If so
>>3414 wins.
>>3416I wouldn't imagine that they are, since souls are non-transferable.
>>3417>what is linkMany souls have been transferred through it.
>>3418oh yeah? then how does the process work?
>>3419Step 1
Buy Link
Step 2
Buy high sell low
Step 3
?????
Step 4
JUST and now your soul is able to be transferred via link.
>>3420where is this link though?
>>3421The same place as your soul.
>>3422then I don't know where it is
I know my soul's somewhere inside of me, though
>>3423Trips confirm this anon is not a ginger
>>3423At this point anon your soul has left you body and is near your ass. If you take a big enough shit it'll come out and you can put it on the open market.
>>3423You have no soul, the afterlife is a lie, and God is dead.
>>3425that sounds like bull
shit I'm sorry>>3426that's what you think, but that's also where you're wrong
