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.

this bug still exists where filter resets after a while and filtered threads are seen again

My version:
1. Refresh catalog
2. See shit you don't want to see
3. Open thread of shit that you don't want to open or see so you can add Post+ filter without extra manual work.
4. Refresh catalog and don't see unwanted shit anymore
5. Do something else for a while
6. Refresh catalog
7. Jump to 2. due filters have reset.

Secondly:
regexp/text filters don't work at all.

Thread watcher:

1. Add thread into threadwatcher
2. Threadwatcher opens into all tabs with thread added
3. Minimize thread watcher on one tab and it stays maximized on other tabs

Would be nicer if min/max toggle of TW was also browser wide instead of tab wide

Honestly, and all kidding aside, you're welcome. We want everyone to have a good time here, but there's a certain degree of personal responsibility to it. Believe me when I say that there's at least one asshole who watches the site like a fucking hawk, waiting for someone to post something outside of the boundaries, and he's not even staff.
With sincerity, your objections aren't falling on deaf ears, but you WILL need to be able to handle the bantz a little better, or leave it to others who are waiting for the right opporunity

Being a retarded sandnigger isn't against the rules. Just hide and ignore those threads, or make new threads to slide them.
The sandnigger is a recurring troll who sometimes makes bait posts. He gets banned whenever his behavior goes beyond the rules.

1 week in no new rules for the board after the new rules thread, what gives?
>It's the in the same trash heap state as it was before
>The same jewish posts can be made, are going to be made, and are being made.
>No one handling content with etiquette, even fringe shit.
>Instead it's posted intentionally to be seen like a shill doing bbc, even when it isn't bbc
>No checking boards and catalogs, just post whatever as a thread builds up like litter
>No containment threads, same /trash/ threads adding nothing of value. Porn was already posted on /mlpol/
>Full blown zoophillia now openly posted, but no rule for it even though the majority don't want to see it. 8moe had a containment thread and now it's banned there, which means they will come here.
>Mods have their thumb up their ass for nearly the entire time the board was made

>Good posters are deterred from posting because of the broken window theory
>Bad posters are incentivized to continue treating it like a designated shitting street
>No one will ever use posting etiquette because of the argument that the other guy didn't have to, so why should I

The entire ruleset is toilet paper to wipe your ass with since there's no one with a clue moderating so everyone on and off mlpol recognizes it as a lawless board. I was patient but it's time recognize that /poner/ as a anything goes red board was a failure which is what the change of ruleset and votes were supposed to address.

And if you don't care because refugees already went back that's a shitty self-defeating argument. /mlp/ isn't in a good state either, it's under a disingenuous posting thread war of raiding and sliding, which means that /mlp/ users could have reason to post here if it wasn't just a pony flavored /trash2/, but since it is that's not going to happen anytime soon.

Red boards allow content not safe for work. While great for serious discussions you need a space for whimsical discussions and escapism.
>>10086
See above. Escapism is the main reason why 4/mlp/ has retained its original spirit as a board. You can start a thread about politics on /mlpol/ but it'll get quickly drowned in discussions about the show, what the writers could've done better, and the fandom.

This isn't really true. If anything, it's more of the opposite: politics drowns out the pony discussion. /mlpol/ needs more pony content; it would be better if new pony threads would slide obsolete news threads.
I would actually support making /poner/ blue, if only to keep the red content on /mlpol/, so that /mlpol/ keeps its pornshield and activity.

It worked, thread that was hidden was brought back when I cleared browser settings. However, ALL of the watched threads I had were deleted with it too. I genuinely do not like anything about that board, it's made with spaghettis code and run by a team of aspies.

At least now I might know why the thread watcher would fail at random, it was probably cache/cookie related. And all the threads I watched from here are gone too, but the ones on 4chanX remain even if I clear the browser data. This could also be why people were complaining about watched threads here not working right, more browser hiccups

If you get around to an auto-updating a thread watcher...
8moe has a counter for unread updates in their thread watcher. With the watcher set to minimized here it could benefit from a similar update like [(#) TW] the # being how many threads have updates since last opened.

Hi anon! We reformed the rule set! Check it out here
https://mlpol.net/policy

>What was wrong with the old set?
So very, very many things

To start off, it was not made on mlpol.net. It was made on April 2, 2017, on the merged board of 4chan. It was never made for this website, nor any independent site, and it has no reflection to our situation. The vast majority of people who participated in that thread on 4chan are not here now, and do not use mlpol.net. Several of the rules in the old set were added by staff over the years and were never voted on.

Second, it has no bearing at all to rules as enforced and probably never has. The number one violation for which we issue bans is and long has been spam. Those little cyrilic bot posts with the ultra-low-resolution images. Tell me where in the old rule set it says "do not spam?" Pro-tip: it doesn't. A majority of all of our moderation enforcement has been against something that isn't even listed as against the rules. There is also no rule in it against off-board raiding - even though that is clearly the spirit of several of the rules - and off board raids have long been one of the dominant reasons for bans.

It worked the other way as well. The rule against "generals" was discarded in practical enforcement in the first year when we decided to allow Syria General to post on /mlpol/. Not long after this, anonfilly was invited after being kicked off of /mlp/. There's also that unstated rule 1 and rule 2. "Don't talk about /mlpol/." We realized within a month of April 2 that not advertising the board - which now was off of 4chan and was it's own website - was a bad idea.

The rule set had absolutely no rule against insufferable and obnoxious posters, and that was a rather big issue.

And you can't tell me it wasn't ungainly and long. It was two typed pages. That isn't useful.

The rule set was prone to misinterpretation, or at least, to give the wrong impression to newcomers. I met with a friend who didn't know I had anything to do with mlpol, and asked him what he thought about the altchans. He told me that mlpol.net and /poner/ was hampered by its banning of generals. A rule we have enfored... once? Ever? Back in the summer of 2017?

And yes, the rules lawyering around the "striped" thread was a factor. Rather than arguing actually relevant issues like whether or not the zebras having sex with twilight were a part of fetish, or posted with a deliberate intent to disrupt the board, instead time and energy is wasted arguing with people who in some cases had never used the board before that day over what degree the my little pony porn resembled some kind of thread that was spammed on the /pol/ board many years ago. That's not helpful.

>Why now? Why not after a long, lengthy process?
It should have been overhauled years ago. I have wanted to overhaul the rules for years. The primary reason we have not is because we didn't have an idea for how to codify a moderator response to what we considered to be edge cases - posters who seemed to be acting in good faith, but who were so horrifically and consistently obnoxious it ruined the experience for everyone around them. It wasn't until this year that I figured out the blanket term "disruptive" captures the essence of these edge cases, but also posting types we ban anyways, like off-board raiders and spam.

>But why now specifically?
Because now is the time that reforms that have been long put off are most needed.

>Why these rules?
I wanted the rules to do three things. One, to reflect actual enforcement and the needs of moderation. Two, to be rather limited, allow most posts to be permitted, and maximum freedom to posters. And three, be short and easy to understand. What we came up with, I think, does capture most circumstances where moderation action is needed, and does so in a succinct and easy to understand manner. Some of the rules could easily be split up into smaller rules, but still, it is a short list of rules.

>Why does the policy page say that the rule set is "under construction"?
Because that part of the policy page is probably going to be modified to include a description of the boards and any rules that might be specific to the board

>But shouldn't the community discuss the rules?
Well, this is the thread. Discuss it now. As stated, the rules were written to reflect actual enforcement. These are things that we have already discussed endlessly, including last year when there was a proposal to add a "lurk more" rule. And besides, if you haven't noticed, who the "community" even is right now is in a state of flux. The newcomers need a very simple set of rules that they can read, understand, and not misinterpret, and they need it now.

>Does this mean that /poner/ is not getting rules on porn?
Not necessarily. We've decided that we will give that a little more time to decide what to do. It's very unlikely that we are going to make /poner/ a completely blue board, but it's far from out of the question that we will add rules like no NSFW in the OP, no porn dumping, or require spoilers. If this is added, it will not be listed on the global rule set. It will be under the board specific rule set, which as of now has not been added.
