Just thought I'd create this thread where you can post any bugs or problems with the site you encounter. And also for me to post any big changes I made.

Have you seen these new Sven memes? These are some seriously spicy memes.

Anyway, I went ahead and deleted the three posts you requested, but I still think you're making a mountain out of a molehill with this stuff. For one thing, your anecdote was as dense and impossible to follow as most of your posts. For another, there wasn't really anything in there that struck me as all that revealing. All I took away from it was that you have an ex-girlfriend who liked to draw edgy fan-comics. Whatever though; they're gone now, so you can rest easy I guess.

Going forward, if you're concerned about your various arch-enemies uncovering your secret identity, and your friends and family getting caught in the cross-fire, probably the best course of action would be to:

A) stop posting sensitive information, and
B) stop making yourself such a target in the first place.

For one thing, I think you vastly overestimate how interested anyone would actually be in tracking you down irl and hassling you. I can assure you that this Discord-based conspiracy against you that you keep going on about is 100% in your head. There is absolutely zero evidence that anyone is coordinating off-site to screw with you. Nobody would even need to coordinate off-site if they wanted to. What is actually happening is that you keep making a gigantic ass of yourself all over the site, and people here keep egging you on and messing with you because it's funny. That is literally all that's going on. It only seems like a conspiracy to you because you are either unwilling or incapable of seeing the abnormality in your own behavior.

All of the drama surrounding you that has occurred on this site was caused directly by you. When you're not prominently word-vomiting your autism all over the place, nobody thinks about you or cares what you're doing. However, every few months you flare up like a case of herpes, make a dumb post like >>>/mlpol/358186 → or a dumb thread like >>>/mlpol/356155 → . People get annoyed and start arguing with you, or they just start bantzing on you for laughs, and it escalates from there. I will freely admit that I dunk on you all the time, with or without my various tripcodes and capcodes.

This place is like a small town. Everyone knows everyone, and usually there's not a whole lot going on. So when the village idiot wanders into the town square and starts ranting at the top of his lungs about something completely stupid, egging him on and screwing with him becomes a source of entertainment for everyone else. That was your glimmernigger conspiracy, that was your arch-nemesis HC Legend I'm still mildly curious if this guy is/was even a real person, and that's your Discord conspiracy. It's also any other conspiracies that you might dream up in the future.

Look man, I'm not a completely terrible person, and I can generally sympathize with a guy who's getting bullied. But the guy who not only asks for it but keeps lining up to get seconds is hard to feel sorry for. The dweeby-looking guy who's just trying to quietly live his life while people tape kick-me signs to his back? That guy I feel sorry for. That's not you, though. You're basically a guy who tapes a kick-me sign to his own back, and then marches up and down the cafeteria screaming "I AM A GIGANTIC FAGGOT, PLEASE KICK ME!" at the top of his lungs. Then, when people finally start kicking you, you begin shrieking and acting like a victim. That one guy who always calls you "Niggel" is almost as autistic and unintelligible as you yourself, but I can honestly see how he formed the impression that you are a kike, or a crypto-kike, or whatever he calls you. Because you exhibit some damn Jewy behavior sometimes.

Anyway, that's all I've got. I'm not sure if we're at the beginning or the end of the current cycle of Nigel-herpes, but either way, I figured I'd give you my two cents as usual. Do with it what you will.

How do we answer the Facebook question?
Anonymous
No.8462

On April 1st of 2017, this glorious shitpost of a board was born. /mlpol/ became a renaissance for the oldfag cultures of both /mlp/ and /pol/ while creating its own explosion of new content, the two communities of tenacious autists finding a chaotic symbiosis: /mlp/ content drove away the """based""" redditors that had infested /pol/ since 2016 calling anyone they didn't agree with a "shill" and were impossible to hold a conversation with; and /pol/ content drove away the derpibooru/Twitter tourists that constantly shit-up the place with their blatant disregard for 4chan culture and basic chansite etiquette, while pretending native users weren't really true members of the fandom.
In our solidarity, the Anons of /mlpol/ have found salvation from the hordes of redditors, shills, bots and booru tourists. We've persisted for 6 years since then, satisfied with having a small community with quality discourse and memes, and for a while, it's been great.

BUT

In the past couple years, we've seen infiltration by something much, much worse than redditors or booru tourists: Facebook posters. It started slow, just around the time the pandemic era mixup hit, begining as a small trickle before devolving into a cataclysmic torrent of unrelenting boomer-tier spam. A look at any of the threads on the board reveals their pestilent posting style, always the same meme-spam and antagonistic shit flinging when their abhorrent posts are scrutinized in any critical way. It suffocates quality discussion and drives away users. Perhaps some of us noticed early on, but didn't say anything because we wanted more users and hope they would assimilate over time (that's why we deleted rules #1 and #2), but they didn't!
The problem has gotten too noxious to ignore any longer, so that raises a series of questions:
How did they get here?
Is /mlpol/'s resistance to offboard shitposters not as we thought it was?
How much of our board's culture has been damaged by this?
How can we fix what is broken?

And most importantly

HOW DO WE ANSWER THE FACEBOOK QUESTION?

Final Solution To The Flag Problem

It's no secret that the small size of this board makes it so that some posters from certain countries may not get to experience a desirable degree of anonymity for being identified by their flags. This problem has intimidated certain non-American posters, including artists and other horse-famous content creators who only came to talk about ponies from being able to post freely. The "don't show my flag" option was implemented years back, but it tends to look out of place, and is inconvenient to use because the poster has to opt into the usage of it in every post, prompting posters to forget between posts and expose their flags.
As a more refined solution, I propose adding an optional "Equestria Flag". It would work essentially like a 4/pol/ memeflag, except with less autism because there would only be one option and the flag makes no statements other than that the poster is a fan of FiM. The flag could be used by posters from rare countries who don't want their usage of this board traced back to them, or by posters who are posting about ponies and don't care to make any political statements on a particular day. More importantly, once a user makes the decision to turn the flag on, the flag would remain there until they turn it off (or their posting password changes, idk), sparing them the hassle of trying
In addition, the idea has been floated around to make it so that OPs could make all flags hidden for non-political threads, like we did with poster IDs. If the above idea is accepted, perhaps that could be implemented by giving OPs the option to make all flags in the threads Equestria flags.

Could this be done? Is it a decent idea? Any thoughts on the matter?
I've been thinking of reccomending this for a while, and I hope it would make it more comfortable for some of our non-American lurkers to post more freely. I think the ability to hide flags is pretty important for the wellbeing of this site, so I hope this is a good idea.

I would like to bump by pointing out that there is still no option to hide flags on /vx/. This is an issue for any users from non-american countries that would like to talk about games in a non-political context.
Idk why we even still have flags on /vx/. It never really did us any good.

This site is slowly dying and needs more anons. If we don't do something soon this site will have no posters left. I propose mods buy ads on 4/pol/ and 4/mlp/ to bring in some new anons. This site really is something special and I would hate to see it die.

>This site really is something special and I would hate to see it die.
Astroturfing things are hard to do, because most people can see through them. But one thing that could be done is shaming people for still posting on 4troons. Like have a designated time to raid 4troons with meme's and laugh at them for still being there, but not actively promoting mlpol. This could be done in conjuction with other altchans.
There's a whole world of chans out there, and they're posting on a fed honeypot. If you say things that catch their attention they will have a file on you. Depending on your state, the feds might even pay you a visit. They have paid me (and my whole extended family) a visit, and I know someone who got raided. So, there's more reason than one to not post on 4troons.
I think the main hurdle is that there isn't a lot of activity here (and other altchans) to satiate terminally online people. One reason 4troons has the activity level it does, is due to a network of bots. So, altchans are severely disabled in this aspect, as I don't think admins have the resources nor do I think that bot traffic adds anything positive to a website, other than engagement farming.
I really think in order to break this cycle, the motive to engagement farm needs to end. But this is beyond the scope of getting a few more posters here. If anyone remembers how youtube was before google bought it, (or better yet the napster/aimster/winmx days) knows how much better the internet was before social media, and all the attention whoring and fake engagement hunting.

Suggested Rule Addition: Lurk Moar Fagget

Staff and Jannies and Administrators have had their hands tied in a measure of good faith, and so when the users see what is wrong in their hearts they speak out.
By the rules the community crafted to ensure our everything didn't become a shithole, they cover most of the known issues.
But not all, and that is where tension occurs.
As many considered age old shitposting tactics, which usually do work with correcting hostile behavior to the whole of /mlpol/.
Until it doesn't.
We don't yet have rules which directly address that kind of bullshit so the staff and go staff and know the community is behind them in support.

I'm proposing a new rule the Faggot Clause. Maybe Lurk moar fagget.
Proportional banning/tempban/kick/shitposty-retaliation/unusual-punishment for faggotry.
We all know what it is, because we've experienced this with long time users that degrade the whole experience for everyone. It boils down to they don't lurk as in there is no assimilation to our imageboard culture.
If they've successfully lurked and listened to suggestions they wouldn't be faggots.

It's gatekeeping to prevent the values of the imageboard from being taken over.

Rabid individualism without teamwork doesn't work. And lecherous collectivism with no individual also can't work.
/mlpol/ is a slice of something magical, politics and ponies and anons shitposting, talking and having a grand time without bots, shills, crazy SJW types, dindus, spam, /ptg or hyper cancer nu-fags.
Suggestions and community support is required if you too want something like this.

Your point does deserve its own thread too.
I'm hoping that the rule will give pause for people just leaving, and sometimes it can't be helped irl and other things require alot of attention.
Plus if the rule is implemented the preservation and spreading of culture is safeguarded for the new waves.
