Could /mlpol/ Benefit From A Blue Pony Board?
Posters in this community have brought of various ways to make the site more attractive to horsefuckers and content creators. One reccomended idea has been to introduce a blue board for pony content.
Is this idea worth trying?
What could the benefits be?

>>7032Well, some faggot said he didn't understand.
You still got a point tho, I'll stop now.
Well niggers, this is not random, every time OP and associates begun to fling shit, the post count went to the toilet. This time is not exception and looking how it goes, perhaps (you) have the distinguished honor of to have killed the board.
Badmouthing shitposters because muh quality has consequences and your venom is not harmless. Congratulations. /s
>>7038The whole paranoia on quality just makes people afraid to post funthreads.
People should just post whatever, the quality comes from the users, not the posts.
>>7039Too late, this time these resentful niggers went off the script when jumped from their usual rant about the staff to attack pol/acks.
>>7040You telling me people are so frail,it takes a single nigger telling them to an hero for them not to post anymore?
If that's the case then good riddance.
>>7038>OP and associates begun to fling shitHey, I'm not flinging any shit here. I just moved the conversation put of my Roe v. Wade thread. The shitflinging started after that.
Also, I haven't had the time to closely monitor this thread the past couple days.
Like, seriously, I tried my best to word everything as diplomatically and considerately as possible, but it can't be helped if people want to mix past grievances or paranoid suspicions into a completely separate conversation. I don't think we should just avoid having the conversations at all either just because people get angry about things though. I want everyone to express themselves.
>>7039Right, but the fear of being labeled as off-topic may stop some from posting at all.
What arguments are there for not making a blue pony board, anyway?
Are the /pol/ users afraid of losing activity in political threads?
>>7048It would take additional time and resources and it would possibly be a passing fad that lasts mere days.
>>7039>paranoia on quality just makes people afraid to post funthreadsI've actually felt this for a long time now, but never really spoke up about it because I thought I might have been the only person affected by the atmosphere. It looks like I'm not the only one who feels that way.
I've heard of people talk about quality over quantity for a while, but on boards that are supposed to be for entertainment, having too tense of an attitude can mean you get neither.
>>7049>It would take additional timeI don't think so, actually. The template for making a board already exists.
>resourcesI don't think so either. We have plenty of site data, and barely use most of what is already paid for.
>it would possibly be a passing fad that lasts mere daysThat is actually a legitimate concern. I think people would prefer the idea if there were some guarantee that the board would actually be used, or that there were someone committed to stocking it with content.
Reminder that there is still an official poll open. In spite of the fact that this thread has received ~250 replies of spirited debate, thus far only 6 people have troubled themselves to actually cast a vote on it. Currently it's split 4/2 against creating a new board. If you feel strongly about this one way or another, feel free to cast a vote. Poll is open for another 3 weeks, give or take.
https://strawpoll.com/polls/2ayLWpqKbZ4Wherever there is no censorship, the right ideas take over. Wherever the left controls the means of control, leftist lies take over those who remain after everyone willing to reject them gets banned or intimidated into silence.
Giving people a censorship-free blue board for pony discussion could bring in new blood that will gradually learn the truth, one look at the Overboard at a time.
>>7064Ngl, this is one of the best arguments to date
>>7064>Giving people a censorship-free blue board for pony discussion could bring in new bloodIt is already censorship-free. So free that you faggots destroyed an already established tight community for the sake of your selfish fantasy. Your crimes won't go without an answer.
>>7066What are you talking about?
>>7050Just a couple of fair questions. Given that (you) and frens didn't give a flying hay for pol/aks, and worse yet, (you) and frens went so far as denigrate political content and therefore a pol/ak fly ensued so bad that currently the political content is nowhere to be seen.
Do (you) have any plan to repair the damage (you) have done? Also, do (you) have any expectation that your pony breads will go unmolested, as retaliation may ensue?
>>7068Dude, I've been a /pol/ack since 2010. Wtf makes you think I don't like political content.
And not to brag, but on some months almost half of the political/news threads here are made by me.
>so bad that currently the political content is nowhere to be seenThis has been a problem I've been shouting about for years, but nobody listens.
>damageSay what now?
>>>/mlpol/345244 →>I thought I was an insufferable faggot<"So, you finally noticed it." (obscure vidya reference meant to be ignored)Don't get me wrong here
>>7029 tho.
What I meant with this:
>an autistic britbong, a bunch of insufferable faggots who can't simply filter the retardIs that you shouldn't let some autistic nigger ruin the fun.
With some anons literally trying to move out of the board. Over ONE shitposter >>7068>Do (you) have any plan to repair the damage (you) have done?Frankly, this.
/mlpol/ is unrecognizable now, in a negative way.
F
>>7073>destroy>Implying shitposts on /qa/ could destroy /mlpol/Do you not remember when we used to get raided by /jp/ a dozen times a day for almost a year? That didn't destroy us.
>>7071 The short answer is that I agree with you. I think I got tunnel vision back then because I felt I was in the right and therefore I had to prove it.
I really tire of all the drama that has been. I wanna focus on the positive sides of mlpol and do something creative and productive; I wanna focus on the things we (anons on mlpol) have in common more (I mean we're severely autistic;P). Not new feelings for me perhaps but still.
Btw, I should have informed you and Ninjas a while ago, really sorry about that, but my computer broke and with it, the password for my burner email disappeared. So if you sent me any, that's why I haven't answered them.
>>7076It's alright fam, I don't think it was innapropiate of a response either. And I do appreciate your contributions to the board, glad to have you back.
>>>/mlpol/345270 →Kek
Am not
I wuv U taco anon, but I remember those breads.
Sorry for taking this long for such a low effort reply, there isn't much I can do about it. >>7071>>7076>>7077I don't mean to interrupt, but what exactly does this have to do with the blue board idea? I think I might be confused...
>>7079Well, that's what the thread is for. If you're not interested, just let the thread slide.
>>7078>what exactly does this have to do with the blue board idea?It was on-topic before, we were doing a lit' wrap up, that's all. Sorry, poner.
>>7081Np, just trying to keep some peace. /qa/ threads are chaotic enough already.
>>7079Not very dead considering the poll has the creation of the new board in the lead.
>>7017Same faggot here, saging, only dropping by to say that the comments I made on the nohooves reee crowd are all out of date and no longer apply at all, another chance out the window. Say hello to NHNB. wasn't my idea, but the people who care about horse communities outside TT will probably be interested in it, they are advertising on 4chucks sucks and cucks.
>>7023I already said I dont want you faggots to do anything you don't want to do, theres no point in an idea like this without support of the staff. What I want is for you to take your dick out of your ass and actually read things people are saying instead of just seeth in your own mod drama.
>>7063Voting closed 8 hours ago, and the results are tied.
What do?
>>7106Honestly I'm not sure. As is usually the case around here, the consensus seems to be that we have no consensus, so the vote didn't really resolve anything. Since only 16 people bothered to vote and the proposal didn't have enough support to break the 50% threshold, I'm inclined to take this as a resounding "meh" and just leave things the way they are. I guess if anyone wants to make any impassioned arguments to the contrary they are welcome to do so.
>>7107This seems like as good a suggestion as any.
>>7107>Seething for no reasonChill out big guy, Show me on the doll where OP Touched you.
>>7108Well, I had no strong opinion on it either way, so I guess this is as good of a result as any.
>>7107Theres the sort of level-headed response that has driven content and innovation for the site
>>7110Theres an overrepresentation in and around staff of people who view any change (read: progress) as threatening.
It totally doesnt have anything to do with inherent narcissism though, so stop asking.
>>7112That didn't sound like something a staff member would normally say, but idk.
>>7113Clearly you don't know (no offense) cuz theres several dead giveaways in that post
>>7115>theres several dead giveaways in that postThe calling to burn OP was mine, I'm not staff but just a single poner looking for OP's pound of flesh.
OP needs to be tested.
>>7116>It was mineSo it was
>I'm notTaken at face value
>OP needs to be testedYou specifically said burn.
>>7117OP got the gall of piss many poners offf. I'm an injured party and I want retribution for all the havoc OP and freens did. Wanna change? No way faggots. Take your Blue faggotry to Derpibooru.
>>7116Dude, I made this thread because the conversation was shitting up my Roe v. Wade thread. Idk why you're so buttfrustrated about it.
The polls are in, and it's already decided that the blue board is a non-starter, so posters can go back to business.
>>7118>havocYou're exaggerating.
>I'm an injured partyCope and seethe, snowflake.
