Hello all

So a decision was recently made by the staff to update the rules of /mlpol/. We have removed Rule 1 and Rule 2

1. Do not talk about mlpol
2 DO NOT TALK ABOUT MLPOL

We do have a reason for updating the rules of the site. So when rule 1 and rule 2 where created we where still on 4chan and a hidden board because of this we needed to maintain a level of secrecy so we wouldn't get raided easily since we all knew that 4cuck mods wouldn't defend us.

Now that we are on our own site with our own staff that are members of the community rules 1 and rules 2 don't really make sense and actually hurt us and our community. On 4chan there is a constant stream of new users hitting the site and potential new users to join the community but on mlpol.net the way for us to grow and expand is for anons like you and me to tell others about the site and it's existence. I personally pushed for Rule 1 and Rule 2 to be removed when I seen that in the 4chan cup our site was removed from the listing with the statement (Rule 1 and Rule 2) meaning we lost the possibility of advertising to anons that would be interested in the site. The other big issue with Rule 1 and Rule 2 is I have seen that when anons go and advertise the site on other chans they are told "Remember Rule 1 and Rule 2". In many ways this rule has been holding us back and stopping mlpol from growing.

As as staff LOVE this place just as much as you guys do and we really want to see this place grow and thrive and Rule 1 and Rule 2 was REALLY holding us back.

If you have ANY questions comments or concerns please post them in the thread below and I will answer them.

Now some FAQs

1 Q: Will you remove other rules?
A: NO there are no other rules that are hurting the community or outdated

2 Q: Why didn't you put a vote up for the community
A: As members of the community we see the threads and posts that go up and many anons have been pushing for the community to post on other boards and chans to get more users and to fish other boards and such. We felt this decision would be inline with the opinion of the community

3 Q: Will our Right to post Ponies be protected
A: FUCK YES POST ALL THE PONE YOU WANT

4 Q: Who is better Green Anon Filly or Orange Anon FIlly
A: Both are acceptable in the eyes of the staff and feel free to post them both

5 Q: When did you guys make this decision and change the rules
A: We put in the change Friday and planned on posting this thread Monday at 3pm PST (Sadly I was broken down on the side of the road so the thread is late)

Thank you for posting an official announcement. A question I have is what is the process for changing a rule? When is a rule change necessary and who makes these decisions? This question should be answered so there is no controversy when a rule is changed next time.

The process for changing a rule is that the ENTIRE staff and owner MUST agree to the change and the change must be judged with the opinion of the community and most of all there MUST be a large need for this!

In the case of this one we seen the community wants to expand and grow, the community much like us LOVES this place and wants it to grow and looking at the posts and opinions of the community we all agreed that the removal of this rule was the right decision.

So in essence a mod or site owner proposes a rule change and the mods have to approve it first. Then it goes to the community to either be approved or vetoed? That actually seems like a good balance of power TBH. It's almost like a proper parliamentary monarchy.

No 4chan's first two rules are.

1 You will not upload, post, discuss, request, or link to anything that violates local or United States law.

2 You will immediately cease and not continue to access the site if you are under the age of 18.


The reason the rule was pulled is users where following it and taking it to heart event though it was holding back the board and our community as a whole.

Essentially, yes

>That actually seems like a good balance of power

Maybe, though to me, it feels like it makes the process of making rule changes too clunky. It's difficult enough just to get all of the mods together. There's a reason, I think, why the policy page has not been changed to reflect the fact that rules on spamming, ban evasion, and raiding are actually enforced. Pls no bully, it's just an opinion.

The change can be presented to the community directly or the opinion pulled by the stance of the community.
With this event you guys like us want the community to grow and this rule removal was inline with the wishes and stance of the community. The staff took the idea of the change from you guys said and wanted so it is why we put it in.

The rules of the internet, I mean. It's the same communal thing that ultimately didn't matter in the long run, nor did it necessary mean anything then, so it's unnecessary now. Although, I won't plead for it to be put back, acting as though as it barred site expansion is pretty null.

I extremely disagree with the choice to outright remove rules from our community that were set up as defing features of what it meant to be a nor/mlpol/iceman. To begin with we are only a fragment of what remains of the original community and it would be very weird if some anon came back and found this place and suddenly 2 of the rules in which he agreed on were taken off by us without his consent.
>inb4 is problem for not finding this place sooner
Hate this argument because even if we have tired to make this place easy to find it isn't. I was fished over a few weeks after /mlpol/ died and this place was set up and I would have never found it if I wasn't fished over. Same goes with a lot of anons on 4/pol/ who surely would like to be part of it but aren't.
But in the end by doing so we would further distance ourselves from our roots and our original vision of /mlpol/ which is why I'm very much against it. I know a lot of you have moved to a point where you view yourselves as entirely different from where we came from but casting aside our roots and the dream of what it meant for the two boards to be merged originally is not what should be should strive for not cast aside. How much else do we want to change? It might sound like a slippery slope but we've already changed a lot as is, do we want to change even more? I don't want to change, in fact I'd like to stay as similar as possible to the original.

We need more traffic but does that mean getting ride of rule one and two entirely? I'd argue far from it. Rule one and two if anything are great motivators for anons to come join us because they know they will be safe from other anons trying to shill this place out to reddit or some other shit hole. If anything we should just re-interpret what rule one and two mean and encourage more fishing trips to increase outreach. Riding these rules will cause nothing but divide and a change in what it means to be a nor/mlpol/iceman.

There are betters ways to get what we want without having to change the rules as is.

According to rule 1 and Rule 2 whoever fished you over committed a ban able offense. THAT is the issue as for the change it was purely to keep this place active, alive and growing it isn't casing around our roots the history of the rules was when we where on 4chan and needed it because the staff wouldn't protect the place.

As for changing we are not changing we are not altering what we where on April 1st the issue comes down to Rule 1 and two where causing issues with us continuing to exist as a whole. ANY TIME i would try to advertise on 4pol I would get SLAMMED with "Remember Rule 1 and Rule 2". We literally told users NOT to advertise on 4pol and 4mlp and this HAS been stopping us from growing.

Then re-interpenetrate the rules to mean don't talk about /mlpol/ and DON't TALK ABOUT /MLPOL/ on non-chans. It'd be much more effective then getting ride of the rules entirely and it'd mean more traffic overall.
>committed a ban able offense
They are community rules that we expect all anons to follow not some overarching ruleset last I checked. We made the rules not expecting mods to enforce them when we were on 4/mlpol/ and I'd be surprised if we changed that outlook here.

I can interpenetrate them as I want but it won't change the way the community and general anons who know mlpol do. Yes you are right they are not expecting to be treated like overarching rules but anons treat them as that so it causes issues. So to fix these issues we removed the two rules.

I had a chance encounter with a brony 4-chan user today, who was entirely ignorant that Mlpol was still a thing. The thing about chan culture is, if its not pretty-shiny-dancing in ur face, it might get overlooked. No malice, no deliberate disregard, just meh. It is what it is. Rules 1 and 2 prevented anons from overtly fishing for talent/participation. The removal doesn't mean "By all means, bring in everyone you've ever interacted with" (discretion IS advised), but there is no prohibition now.

Yeah pretty much you are SPOT ON! We are not saying "GO drop that site down on r/TheDonald and get them nice redit folk in here" we are saying TELL others that you FEEL will fit tell people you think would belong here and like it here your other right leaning horse fucker friend or someone you know who is into pol but without the blacked threads. TELL those who you feel will fit in here and will make a great addition to the mlpol community. We WANT the community to try thrive and succeed and having a rule that directly tells users "DON"T tell others and don't get new blood onto the site" is SUPER counter Intuitive and hurts us and stops us from growing.

Even getting ride of them won't change the fact that we won't have fishing threads as often. The problem at this point isn't that anons are afraid to fish, but that fishing takes a lot of energy and organization. A lot of anons have to be on to start with and someone has to make a thread and to the fishing, ect. Rather then changing the rules it'd be much better say if you were to make fishing threads and invite us to join more often anon.

>Rules 1 and 2 prevented anons from overtly fishing for talent/participation.
citation need, it doesn't only anons willingness to do so is what has kept us from doing it. It takes a bit of upfront work to do it and so its not likely anons will rather then some rules keep us from doing it.

Dude I have directly ran into issues with the rules. From the 4Chan Cup wiki NOT listing the site saying "Rule 1 and Rule 2", people telling me when fishing "Remember Rule 1 and Rule 2" and situations like that IF people really didn't care about the rules then no one would have ran into these issues while trying to get new users. It was clear that people are obeying the rule and stand by it even though it is holding back out site and community

We as staff never really enforce Rule 1 and Rule 2 it was Anons who where enforcing it. As I sated in the situations it wasn't the site staff that asked for the site to be removed from the wiki hell we asked for it to be put back in the wiki. As for the the people on random boards saying "Remember rule 1 and rule 2" that wasn't the staff of mlpol.net saying that it was random anons who where taking those rules as gospel and following them to the T even if it meant the site would be unable to grow.

Nigger, it's like fight club. That's the whole point. Incomplete secrecy. It's to get across the point that this shit isn't a public ordeal, and that you shouldn't babble to every idiot you know. Sure, it promotes elitism, but that wouldn't be a problem if you pruned it all out.
When I come here again, all I see is tripfags, insular generals and a crib death comparable to current day /mlp/. /mlpol/'s peak was the 3rd of April, just a few seconds before it was frozen, and it was nothing but a decline since. It's dead. /mlpol/, by itself, has no reason to exist anymore other than as a reminder to a slightly better time, and no amount of 'community collaboration' or 'rule changes' is going to change that. Only the core idea, that one can hide from the rest of the 'normal' world with a shield of degeneracy and weirdness should live on, as it did on old 4chan.

The 4CC thing I can explain pretty easy. I made it as it was as a joke because no one ever looks at the wiki unless its posted in a thread and even then how often do you all look at it and read everything? Rarely to never is what I'd guess.

On not throwing links directly on 4chan when we fish is to keep newfags off. Only those who should want to come should not someone who in it for le-ebin memes :DDDDD and reddit has such a sort attention span that you can literally tell someone "google /mlpol/.net" and that'll keep most of the newfags from 4chan from spilling over. Fishing on 4/pol/ is dangerous and even if fishing on mulp can bring in some undesirables.

I feel you anon. Flagging and tripfaging has been a large problem here. Add that with our inability to move threads forward has led to a huge decline. I have already suggested on how I think we can fix that but I'm pretty sure the ride has ended a long time ago and we are all trying to hold on. I wish 4/mlpol/ never died.

I know it’s depressing to hear, but it is the truth. It might have been better or worse at 4chan. But this is our fate, and this trith is the only comfort I can offer. When 4chan finally rots in its grave, we must still be around to fish survivors.

Dude we are not dying. With the Trip fagging it really isn't that common at all dude same with name fagging. The board almost everyone here still posts as Anon. The ONLY reason I am name fagging is I am the dude who pushed the R1R2 change and felt I should take the heat that comes with the change. As for decline dude we are doing really well our daily statistics are very solid and the community has been doing well.
The ONLY reason it seems slower is because of what time of year it is. We are in the school year again dude and right now dealing with Finals so many anons are studying and in school wait for summer when our summer fags come back and we fill back up. Stay calm and don't be so down dude.

I'm going to write an essay. Simple thing, really, but there is still slight hope. It's our complacency and a lack of a good leader that has ended us.
All I see is random faggots who can barely string together a sentence like this cunt right here >>94388 In fact, that's all I ever saw here. Weak-ass motherfuckers who'd rather sit around than banhammer someone who they object to, gay-ass faggots who just want to have a pretty little "community" and to post cute ponies all day.
All the newfags praise WTSnacks, but you at least have to give it to the guy - he knew what he wanted, and he went out of his way to get it. I'd rather have someone like that than someone who constantly justifies circlejerking and a degradation of our values, whatever they may be.

This was a mistake. We will be flooded and the quality of content will decline. Moreover, these rules were made precisely because we wanted to preserve the quality users who happened to act upon exodus and migrate to a new place for mlpol.

As one of the original pushers of a migratiob elsewhere in the original threads on other boards before this obe, this is a big, big mistake. Maybe not for board management, of course… :/

I'm sad to see this happen.

there are none, you are a horsefucker. It seems this site really sucks and has completely let you down. You seem to have some very high values yet make no efforts to resolve it, instead sit back and leave it to the mods amirite? I am not sure where you come from, but where ever that may be, it must be quite amazing there to have such views about this place. yet you are here, pissing and moaning "the board is kill how will /mlpol/ ever recover??" you have a fine point about the this faggotry with rules, should not be discussed in the first place, just known. On the otherhand, coming to a thread to shit on the board is not very productive, what do you hope to accomplish? sure don't seem like you care about the board, Perhaps to stir up some good ol motherfuckery? sure seems like it.

Nigger, what do you want staff to do exactly that staff don't do already? It's a board full of anons, it lives or dies based on the actions of anons. Staff are all volunteer hotpockets with day jobs. If you want a faster board, post more, or try to fish other boards for more people. If you want better quality discussion, create it. What kind of "leadership" do you want exactly?

The absence of 1 and 2 will bring in precisely the /r/the_donald types you speak of. People already post mlpol innuendo on 4ch pol. The notion that this site exists would blow up in our faces. These rules are essentially unenforceable, but so they are for 4ch as aell; Internet culture will grab this site and throw it through an irretrievable ringer. I can't stress this enough - that only negative consequences can come of this. Someone subtly PMing a friend in Discord about this never got punished; but now, someone posting a crap thread in pol would get rewarded, or beckoning apolitical mlp to join us, will occur instead.

Dude calm down. 4pol turned to shit because it's staff was made up of cucks that where not part of the community, didn't lurk and didn't care. We are the staff we are ready to purge r/TheDonald if they show up here. And remember we have Pony Porn it scares away those fucks pretty quick. So no we won't just lay down and die or turn into NuPol 2 Electric Boogaloo Guest starting MLP. These rules where not a flood gate stopping r_t the things topping r_t are the staff, our pony porn, and our anons who are quick to call in staff when shit hits the board.

See, here's the problem with this kind of thinking. So far, we don't have anyone flooding in here, cancer or otherwise, which is precisely the problem, and basically why these rules are being eliminated; we don't have enough people and we need more. Also, even if we kept them, they don't make a difference because the kind of T_D newfags we want to avoid aren't going to read or adhere to the rules anyway if they do somehow wander in here. Do you think any of the redditards that shitpost on /pol/ bother to read through that list of logical fallacies pinned on the front page?

It honestly doesn't matter if we eliminate these rules one way or the other, this whole discussion is honestly pretty stupid. People will either come here or they won't, and it isn't going to make any difference if we arbitrarily have rules that govern people talking about the site.

If faggots come, we drive them away with horse porn, or failing that, the mods start banning people and deleting threads, that's how it works. At the moment, a huge influx of cancerous newfags is not a problem we have just yet, so let's not make an issue out of it until it becomes one.

You know I can ban people right? If the rule change results in undesirables, we can just ban them, and then reverse the rule change. That's the beauty. It's a hell of a lot easier to stop people from posting than to make them post. Use the report feature to point out cancer, and make a thread on /qa/ in the future if you think undesirables are problem

I appreciate your assurances a lot, actually. You clearly have a grasp of what went down over there. Please be vigilant; perhaps even a soft rule revision to keep the site "limited" should be added instead.

Also, stash those salacious folders. I am a dumb phoneposter by this hour, but I hope we put that to the front page as deterrent more often now.

When my Computer opens up I always check mlpol.net I check to see if there are any threads that have been reported, I look over the board and catch up on the threads overnight. I check on the board many times during the day and participate in different threads I like or that I posted in or interested in. I, like many of the Staff members are always watching, always vigilant and dedicated. We will not let this place become shit we like it too much to let it fall apart

Thanks. I got all hot and bothered seeing this rule change, but I see how it doesn't necessarily change how we do business.

One concern would be that the Overton Window of acceptable behavior will shift away from the present, close-knit and pony-involving content we produce. The arc of board activity possibly bends toward banality and the mainstream over time, and this rule change suggests a need for vigilence. For instance, increased universal meme threads, or OP with one post on a baity thread. You seem to get this, but it's nonetheless worth stating.

Thanks to you and the rest of staff for all you do. Donating to keep things up.

I would care. There is a desperate shortage of a lot of things here, including politics. As the crunch time for students and the employed come to an end, there will be more posters soon. With no quality threads, things would be rather desolate here.

Dude your graph LITERALLY says the summer fags left in September to go back to school and as the school year has gone on more users have been too busy to post.
If you check the hours graphs the posting rate changed considerably from June July to September and forward in the past posts had no school so could post all day now a days due to school people can only post around night time. Welcome to chans brother. Hell expect this week and next to be shit due to Finals

Even if vril is being a faggot about it I do agree that /vx/ and in fact having other boards on site has been sucking away the main reason we made this community, for /mlpol/. /vx/ has little to no thread creation but a ton of posts and a lot of posters don't post here but post only there so it'd be better if we somehow were able to say, move their shit over here. They only ever have a single thread per day related to their games do they actually need an entire board for it, in the few months its been up it has struggled in thread creation because we flat out don't need it, we could have a /mlpol/ or /sp/ vidya thread, and /mlpol/ or /sp/ parnormal thread, and have an /mlpol/ or /sp/ board game thread instead of having an entire board dedicated to all three. Same with /ub/, it only really needs one thread to do the job, so I say we kill /vx/ and /ub/ and let them either bring their threads over here to or to /sp/. So that we have one option or the other to post in random or /mlpol/.

I don't know how this got back to an argument of /mlpol/ being dead. If we're dead, why haven't we made any fishing threads, why haven't we deleted all the discord servers, why aren't we advertising anywhere, and more importantly why are we still talking? In short, we traded the search for newfags in for complaining.

Yeah that is what these threads normally devolve into. Users complain "The board is dead" and then when you say "well why don't we fish or reach out to groups etc" we get hit with "THAT IS THE MODS JOB WE DON"T WANT TO DO THAT" and then they just yell cry bitch moan and complain. The issue is many anons feel the board needs to run it self and that it isn't a community effort. If you REALLY want to fix the board get more users and run ops, fish other chans, fish other chan's discords and IRCs, spread the word of the site don't sit here crying and moaning that the sit is dead and the mods need to flip a switch and magically bring in more users. If we want more users WE as anons NEED to try to get more WE need to do the work. The Mods do a good job running the board and keeping it tidy but we can't expect them to run every op every out reach and everything else for the community it's up to US as anons to pull some of the weight to keep this place alive, happy and growing.

And also don't forget it is the off season for chans, school is in session, right now it is finals week, the political scene is kind of on the dead side, people are busy again come summer time this place should pick back up. I am not saying it's dead things here are going pretty damn well if you ask me considering we are a smaller alt chan in the dry season I would say we are doing better than I expected us to be doing this time of year. I say we just start fishing, start pulling in new users from the more active chans like 4c mlp and 4c pol considering what the mods just did on 4c we NEED to be fishing there and the trash to get those people back to a decent chan with staff and mods that are actually a part of the community.
