/qa/ - Questions and Answers

>>7990
To begin with.
Everyone in the future hold your safety hors.

Safety hors is held

Wait a minute, I just went to >>>/Test/ and I am not banned.
So, can I post again?

>>7993
This doesn't appear to be the thread for this question, but yes. Don't throw threads off track again.

>>7994
Thanks.

>>7993
>>7995
Why are you namefagging? You know mods could tell if you're banned without you saying it was you in particular, right? You don't need to announce it to all of us.

Wow I would use sarcasm but I won't. Boomer anon, thanks for posting stuff you should stop making purely bait posts.
They're garbage, I'd like my time and care back.
>>>/vx/168595 →
Thanks Boomer anon I feel just awful about backing you up once. I now know not to ever do that mistake again.
Why can't you answer any questions?
Isn't your whole thread supposed to be about reasonably proving whatever it is?
All there is, is video posting about some fag and goal post shifting and remarks that make no sense and running away from any counter points.

Deliberately being aggravatingly retarded makes for bad posts.
If thats not deliberate, I'm sorry for your disability. Please seek help.

>>7999
And I have trips.
Just saying.

>>8000
This interaction is a microcosm of your personality: being the most obnoxious and smug person alive, then when a third party tells you your behavior is bad, you reply with "trips, I rest my case."

By the way, he wasn't me, dickhead. I was asleep. So good job, mister baitologist. Now, how 'bout that Southern Cross.

>>7998
>>8001
At this point you faggots almost deserve it. This nigger should've been yeeted like three years ago. You know, when this place wasn't as barren and this fag couldn't just flood every board with his bullshit.

>>8002
The site's policy on anonymity and logs means it's physically impossible to ban anything but the node used to access the site, which is hashed so even admins don't know. And of course, when one is banned, all he has to do is fire up whatever service he uses, whether it be a VPN, proxy or TOR Browser, and then he's back to posting. Banning him is nothing but a counter-signal and as such does nothing. He has to leave of his own volition whether he gets ignored until he's bored or is bullied off.

Makes things complicated.

>>8002
You're fresh. You abandoned the board and contribute little. What right you have to stop the natural activity of an imageboard, huh?
If you don't like some posts, just post something you like.
Shitting on some anon because of muh quality on a dead board is an oxymoron. Post something faggot!!!!!!! Preach with the example.

>>8004
>muh quality
Why do I get the impression it's you on another IP?
I know I've tried drumming up traffic before in a fair few threads, threads which have effort put behind making it open-ended and encouraging discussion, and most of the time it's on topics that actually ought to have a positive effect. This predates Boom Boom's presence at all; hell, part of the reason I went homeless was because I wanted to test out a financial plan and split income with someone to be an example. Fat lot of good that year long shitshow was. I shit on Boom Boom because he literally does nothing worth praising, nothing that improves morale, nothing that encourages discussion, and never actually engages in good-faith discussion. The only way to get a response from him at all is to shit on him, at which point....what's the point, he gets off on the (You)s. Frankly I regret stooping to his level in the flat earth thread.

>>8005
Knock it off with booms. The charges are laid, shitpost or shut up.
Be part of the solution not the problem.

>>8006
You know what, you're right. From now on anything I post will be completely separate from Booms. Even if it means making a hundred springboard threads that never get replies for months if not years. I've been alone this long, what's another year.

>>8007
Booms doesn't care either if he's got an answer at all. That's autism.

>>8003
I suppose you see the problem now. If this place was as active as it was three years ago. Booms would've eventually gotten discouraged. Provided the userbase didn't put up with his bs like it fucking did.
Sorry but I called it as early as summer 2020. This place just likes to stick with these sort of people for some reason. Something something, a British poster for example.

>>8009
I saw the problem back then. Problem was, I was fucking homeless.

>>8009
>This place just likes to stick with these sort of people for some reason.
Just out of curiosity, how many weekly posts you have? And even if they are a noticeable number, are you contributing to generate discussion? Or you are just ranting because is free?

>>8010
That sucks. Not much that can be done.

>>8011
I know this point is a popular one. And I get the idea: if the issue is that every post is from one guy, make more posts to drown him out. But he's literally a boomer who spends all day every day posting because his pension is in the mail. Sure, I could spend every last gram of my time posting, but sometimes, I don't know if something's worth discussing and I refrain from making it a thread topic. Sometimes, I want to actually make the OP worth engaging in. Sometimes, all I see for five pages on every board is shit like the flat earth thread and actually engaging in a discussion worth anything is fucking hard.

Making a bread that gets any kind of engagement is already hard, and add to that the fact that most anons are gonna miss the tree amid the absolute swamp that is the spam. It's not like I haven't tried to make content worth discussing, try to get closer to the community, work on myself -- I've been here for six years, and three of those years were spent amid a frantic struggle not to completely waste my 20s. And yet, here I am. It's demoralizing, okay?

>>8013
I wouldn't even bother. This is like the millionth time we had this discussion.

>>8014
You're right. I've wasted my thought tonight.

>>8014
>This is like the millionth time we had this discussion.
And yet (you) rarely post a pony. Go figures.

>8016
>this is the part replied to, and nothing else
Just...
Goodnight. I'm not engaging in this thread.

>>8015
>>8017
Rest well.

The thread https://mlpol.net/mlpol/366376 wasn't baked by me.
I was told by the management before that they don't want corana-chan posting anymore. So don't blame me.
Just saying.

>>8021
Why are you pre-empting a thread half an hour old with "it wasn't me" before anyone responds or complains, and if you're gonna do it would you at least be so kind as to explain who you are? Fucking narcissist.

>>8022
>Why are you pre-empting a thread
Sorry about that, but I am pre-empting niggers bashing me because of reasons; not actually the thread.
FYI, I've got a lot to post in such a thread but I was told not to.

>>8024
That's cringe. You're cringe.
The thread has no replies. Nobody cares about it. Stop drawing attention to yourself.
>>8021
This post doesn't even contain a question, ffs.

>I was banned again
Can I post now?

>>8028
Looks like it.

Greetings /qa/
I'm the OP of the Corona-Chan series and I would like to restart the corona-hoax posting.
Given that the rumors plus gossip are getting louder by the day about the corona psy-op being re-deployed, to censor the subject is not making any favor to the poners, on the contrary, it helps the conspirators who want to subject silenced.
So, may I post corona related stuff again?

>>8032
Why would that ever be banned?

>>8033
Not clear enough if that is a yes or not, sorry.

>>8034
Sure, I guess. Post away.

yes!!!!

>>8033
>Why would that ever be banned?
Remember that some poners complained because they didn't like it, and the mod agreed with that opinion, so to please them I stopped posting. But now it looks like soon the subject might turn into a hot happening.

>>8037
The mass posting of faceberg-tier images. Not many users enjoy that barrage. Nor the anti-discussion postings.
Actual happenings would be nice.
Actual discussion and interaction would be nice.
Please share content not crap.
Thanks for listening to this PSA.

>>8038
>The mass posting of faceberg-tier images
Some might be, but most are not and in line with /pol/ tier ones. So, your claim is false.
Anyway, mass meme posting has its own containment bread at /sp/ and should not spawn anymore snowflake screeching.
>Actual happenings would be nice.
I agree. Please post them as soon as you spot one. Thank you.
>Please share content not crap.
Again, be so gentle of leading by the example. Post your gems and announce them as "not crap", please.

>>8038
>Actual discussion and interaction would be nice.
I hope you are one of the first to engage on it, otherwise criticism just for the sake of it, only accomplishes a negative and destructive environment. Overall, an negative anon shitting on allegedly "low quality" posting while posting little or discussing nothing, only serves an anti-board sabotaging purpose; and that's undeniable.

>>8042
Projection is unbecoming. The anon you are saying has not posted or discussed is wrong. This anon is very active. Please fuck off.

>>8043
>Projection
On the contrary. I speak with actions. I shitpost non-stop and you know that.

>>8039
>>8040
>>8041
>>8042
You know what your problem has been from the start? Your idea of a healthy site is one that never stops posting for a moment, when clearly the userbase is too small to accomplish that kind of post rate. Slow posts aren't the problem. Shit posts are. You shun any form of questioning or rebuttal to anything you say as "sabotage" because you have no grounds to debate on any of your beliefs. Instead you default on changing topic or posting so much shit that no reasonable person can be expected to parse it all.

The site didn't need your memes. You imposed them on the site and got mad when we said we'd rather be slow and good than a nonstop flow of sewage.
You know what? Fuck it. This site isn't worth sabotaging because it's been a heap of shit for months, if not years. If routing the cancer out can't be done, the only thing anyone here can do is cut themselves out.

This site's wasted my energy for far too long, and for what? I got the same shitty lot in life I did in 2017. You're all niggers and I hope you get evicted by your kike landlords and then shot by niggers for sleeping in the wrong alley. But most of all, I hope that you, Booms, die a slow and painful death in a hospital, unable to hasten your demise. I hope you live to be a 90 year old demented vegetable, being what you've been for years: a fucking burden.

>>8045
Well, I desire for (you) just Friendship, not more not less.

>>8046
Shut the fuck up, you living backpack.

>>8044
Your projection is an anti-board sabotage. Where did that come from if not projection? He did nothing but asked you to not spam.

>>8047
Have a pony.

>>8048
>He did nothing but asked you to not spam.
Most of that have been already solved. >>>/sp/21290 →

>>8045
But I like you anon...

Remember how cute ponies are and the joy they bring. The community is for positive emotions, not negative emotions.

>>8051
Since the fuck when? 2019? Get real.

>>8052
I am bringing the cute ponies.

And no, I do not generally engage in arguments I know cannot end amicably, if that is what you are referring to.

>>8050
Yes, except you are back to using a general, which the whole point of our last argument is to not rely on generals, as they upset the user base because it is against the policy section. You are only going to post there and spam updates, which is not addressed in that thread.

>>8054
>Yes, except you are back to using a general
Oki Doki. If the corona-chan bread is the triggering spot, then I will let it go. No big deal.

>>8053
You bring nothing. You only ever show up to defend the garbage at your doorstep. Be it niggel or this retard.
I don't even know why you are even a fucking mod.

>>8056
All right, you want to fly shit around then let's have it.
Lotus as the ## Admin is trying to calm down both sides and to be conciliatory. Blaming him is to shit on the wrong target as he has the duty to keep the wheels together.
Fasces as the ## Mod has the duty of to be the cop and do the dirty work. In this case he sided with the hysterical party long ago and I'm on the receiving end of his displeasure.
There is an obvious schizophrenic rift among the staff, in this case Lotus who is top boss and Fasces who is to my understanding a subordinate. On one side Lotus authorize me to post, on the other side Fasces totally dis-authorize me and expresses his displeasure. This is a very confusing situation indeed.
Also Fasces told me more than once that "The Community" wants me to stop spamming (posting) which implies I'm not considered part of the community any longer.
There is a very hostile anon who lose his marbles and has no better idea to outright throw insults at me like I'm the worst enemy. Very disfunctional board indeed.
As a frequent Tor poster I saw many IPs banned because the mod didn't like the answer, or because the anon called somebody a jew. No wonder that /pol/ posters left in mass, in my case I'm very autistic and that method hardly will work.
But, I have to recognize this is not a imageboard with a staff committed to welcome fresh blood, but to expel anybody not onboard with the /mlp/ fags. So, please come clean, you literally want a Blue Pony Board but lurking under the banner of /mlpol/ so you may feel edgy.

>>8057
And by the way, the above is a testimony of how to kill an imageboard. The steady decline is not a result of low quality, but the direct result of suppressing a lot of voices who left forever. And you did it.

>you want a blue pony board
You're still under the impression there's some kind of rift between "polacks" and "ponyfags" here?
Anyway, idga fuck about you. It's impossible to reason with you. What I want to know is why Lotus needs to stand on behalf of every subhuman on his porch.
He said it himself. He's argued with so many people over a certain poster, and many of them have left the site over it. Was it necessary to treat the site as if it was the mental clinic where he works? Was it worth it?

>>8058
>And by the way, the above is a testimony of how to kill an imageboard
This.
F

>>8057
>>8058
>>8060
If spam and generals being banned by agreed upon policy set in place in 2017, then your idea of how an imageboard lives or dies is fucked. You don't get to deceive Lotus by saying you were banned in posting corona stuff when the issue is generals and spam.

Let me make this clear for you. You are banned from spam and generals. If this is an attack on you, then you admit that you only engage in this material. Otherwise, it should be business as usual and no problem.

This is your final warning. You will engage with this website like a normal fucking person. Is that understood?

>>8061
Calm down Fasces, no need to over do it.
Even when you banned me, I didn't do any ban evasion. So, I listen to you, not always, but usually do.
Also chillax, I'll restrict my forbidden activities to /sp/ and a couple of threads at /cyb/, /ub/, and /vx/; you know which ones.
Thank you for your understanding.

>>8062
You are free to post in new threads or existing threads that are not specifically a general. You just need to actually listen to me to process this information.

>>8063
>existing threads that are not specifically a general
Not a general at /mlpol/.
What about Horse, Cat, Flat Earth, and Books?

>>8064
and music?

>>8064
I think we can agree that those are specialized enough to not be generals. Horse is basically just the post every time you visit /sp/ concept. A corona virus general has literally every headline you find on the subject. It lost all discussion potential or looking up any information within it. It all gets buried. You need to line up some more specific discussions or topics within your field.

And flat earth is just your personal playground that you expanded to your landfill thread. It is kind of pointless to fight back against it because you both don't vary your talking points or posting style. I fought you for months to mix it up and it has proven literally impossible.

This is why I am drawing this specific line in the sand. You need to learn to adapt and maybe improve, or stay the same and stick with whatever self-limitations you provide yourself by needing everything you post to be a general.

>>8066
Ok, so if I understand well, Books and Music are niches that I'm allowed to fill, no discussions are required there.

>>8067
Yep. You need to turn the other things you like to post into a niche or open it up to discussion. Make it more specific.

Later.

>>8070
Not now?

>>8071
I suspect this will get intense and now I'm on something that not be stopped. Later please.

>>8072
Very odd, but if you insist. I will simply lay out my argument for when you get back.

I had a massive post, but then the power went out. Let me give you a shorter version to avoid losing this one too. I want you to look at this pattern.

If you look closely, you see a massive difference. You got responses! Amazing. How did this happen. You posted a shitty graph and two sentences. It must be the graph you posted, right?

Except, this doesn't line up with what he responded to, which was the text. You probably just hijacked that as well from wherever you found the pic, but that had an interesting effect. People tried to talk with you.

This is how many posts you made before getting a single response. And I do mean single. You didn't respond to that one and funny enough, there is no discussion that happens. You go back to posting articles and memes.

My point in all of this is to try to show you a pattern. You get responses by responding. You generate an initial response with an interesting line of text to respond to and debate or expand upon. Your posting style and the generals have done nothing for the site and you have been self-sabotaging in your efforts.

>>8074
It's almost as if the only way he garners responses is by flinging shit at otherwise sympathetic people for a response which he then proceeds to "defeat" with said shit, and when it fails, he's back to flinging shit everywhere.

In case you're curious (you aren't), homelessness is approaching again. And this fucking retard is YOUR problem. When he loses his dopamine, and people drop off the site like flies, he'll go back to demanding attention from whatever backwater shitheap website he got those worthless memes from.

Friends, we don't know anything
And by now, we can't even tell
The food in the kitchen is rotten, and so are we!
But at this point, it's how we smell.

So when you're bored, you're hungry and you're tired
Well there's a screen in every room and every pocket
So just tune it all out, because you're tuning in
To what we're shoving right through your socket!

>>8075
Sorry to hear that. And yes, he is my problem. That is why I am attempting to handle it.

>>8076
Whatever you say.
Magic of friendship is a joke. None of us ought to meet in real life and we're all beyond saving. No amount of contrived analogies between fascist unity and horses will ever make it happen.
If God looks upon us, it isn't with a smile.

>>8077
Cool

>>8077
Am sorry about it anon. But that's all I can do, be sorry. Can't blame me for it, or anybody else here for that matter.

>>8074
This is, imo, partly a consequence of allowing generals. Amy of those articles posted could have been posted in their own threads, which would have made room for discussion without them being buried in the generals.

>>8083
Can you fucking shut up about generals? That's all you ever talk about. We already stated that they are not allowed, for fuck sake.

>>8084
Pardon me if I sound like a broken record, but it was only yesterday that that thread was even locked, even though that generals have been prohibited since 2017. I'm glad the decision was made, and I'm just adding my insights to portray why enforcing the rules of the site is important, because the alternative reinforces and enables unfavorable behaviors like the ones you referred to above. I hope we can move past this point.

>>8085
The reason why we haven't enforced it is because we get nothing but shit for enforcing. It took this long until people had enough to realize that the rules were worth enforcing and are not censorship.

>>8086
I, for one, appreciate it when the rules are enforced, and hope they continue to be enforced. The rules are here for a reason. Nobody thought it was censorship when those rules were written, so enforcing them shouldn't be censorship either.

>>8087
Your first statement was right. You, for one, believed that. Some people don't agree with the one that is you. You are right in that people did not believe it censorship at the time of writing, yes. The problem comes when we hit staff rule #3.

Staff will take all community suggestions into account
As this is a community site and not a top-down dictatorship like some other sites user input is very important
Staff found to be deliberately removing community suggestions to avoid changes on the site or push their own agenda will be subject to punitive measures up to and including dismissal

This means that we need to attempt a diplomatic solution to a problem if possible. This is why too strict an enforcement of this rule when there is an outcry against the enforcement, such as anonfilly. Anonfilly made sense. Other generals do not. However, people made vocal support for this poster saying it helps the site.

Therefore, we have to talk this out and find a solution to minimize the direct action we must take against him.

>>8088
>there is an outcry against the enforcement, such as anonfilly. Anonfilly made sense
Anonfilly was a special case. The decision was made after days of debate, and an explicit exception was made to extend hospitality to Anons who had been expelled from /mlp/. /sg/ was another case where an explicit exception was made.
>Therefore, we have to talk this out and find a solution
I'm all for that.
I'm a bit of a constitutional originalist when it comes to rules though. I think the rules should be enforced, and if the rules aren't working then they should be changed.

>>8088
It's not said much, but all staff and every Anon. You're all loved.

>>8090
D'awwww. Thanks.

Where can I post news with to break Rule 3?

>>8092
Just make a thread about a particular news topic. Provide a link and a summary of what the newslink entails, a relevant picture (bonus for additional ponies), and open the discussion.

>>8093
What about if the topic already exists as a general? It is like it doesn't make sense to have 2 threads about the same.

>>8094
Ignore the general threads. Just because some retard broke rule #3 doesn't mean you can't make specific threads.

>>8095
I'm the retard. KEK

>>8095
Then it might be possible that 5 or even 10 new threads might pop up every day. That won't make the catalog look good.

>>8098
An alternative that might work is to make a thread in /sp/; News General

>>8098
No. That's the intended appearance of the board.

>>8100
So, a lot of threads without answers (that is the very definition of spamming) is better looking than generals containing a topic. Mmmmmmh. It doesn't look right to me.
Better I will post in /sp/.

>>8101
If they don't get answers, they'll slide. If they didn't get answers, they wouldn't be worth posting in some general either.
>Better I will post in /sp/
That doesn't really make it better.

>>8102
>That doesn't really make it better.
Yes, it does. The plan to post multiple threads in /mlpol/ is doomed to failure because the faggots will complain with good reason that messes the catalog up with according to some crybabies, "garbage". It happened before when a snowflake spammed /mlpol/ with pony threads because pony breads in /overboard/ were slided all the time.

>>8103
A Fasces's answer about the dilemma is due. He has to take responsibility on what is decided and stand for it as he stood for banning generals in /mlpol/.

>>8103
A general thread with only 5 or six replies independent of the actual newslinks is worse than a bunch of actual discussion threads with a few replies.

>>8104
Generals have always been banned in /mlpol/. Technically they're banned sitewide, but enforcement is low.

>>8105
It doesn't solve the dilemma exposed at >>8103

>>8107
Nobody's going to complain if the threads are actually good.
And they would still complain if they kept seeing the general thread on /sp/ on the overboard.
Single-topic news threads are the intended site format.

>>8108
>Nobody's going to complain if the threads are actually good.
This is a crappy answer about a moving target. Rule 3 is a fixed post where the mod and acolytes shield behind. I want the same assurances.

>>8109
I mean, are you going to make a thread for every vaxxed retard that dies? I think we can all agree duplicates need to be deleted.

>>8110
>I think we can all agree duplicates need to be deleted.
>deleted
This a trap and you know it. I remember when I asked permission to post in /int/ and was granted. then months later all threads where deleted.
By the way, accountability is nowhere to be seen, the staff has not been sacked yet.

>>8092
>>8093
Does nobody read the policy page?
You're both saying one rule but referencing a completely different one.
What the fuck.
>>8103
Is it an actual HAPPENING?
"HAPPENINGS" are the first responder threads to world events, and are required to have basic information; who, what, when, where, how, why, and a citation or link to an article or direct video of the event itself
>>8110
At this point every time that occurs feels less like an important event as its been covered repeatedly just with different deceased people.
>>8103
Is it actually important?
>What about the garbage no response spam posts that have literally zero content with ten new threads every minute.
Hmmmmmm.
>>8111
I, an anon with faulty memory, remember that a bit differently. Some other anon was bitching about something, ya'll said sure thing broski and did it. As the duplicate 'Rona thread there and on the main board didn't actually get addressed just some random anon.
Not an admin or a mod going in depth about any of that. Just some random anon. I could very well be incorrect.
I think I disagreed with that other anon back then because thw points didn't make sense at the time. Not you, the other anon. I think.
Anyway.
Jumping to action doing it. As in really fucking fast.
The talking peters out because something else comes up.
As you've said months later, they see a duplicate thread about a topic just about the same. Look and see it's a copy as in one for one repost. And ax the no response duplicate.
I think it was also around the time the shit wave was there for retarded reasons as that was the bigger overreaching issue at the time. I think it was
<HI ANON
<I've hijacked this alzheimer medalist's post.
<Did you know peetzer is considered enough of a vegetable for the USDA to put it on school lunches

I will post news exclusively in a containment thread in /sp/ so every hater can gladly fuck off.

>>8116

Exactly, they lost their Equestrian graces and are bitter about that.

>>8118
Just praising the hoers pussy.

For a while, the Coronavirus thread was shut down, which made sense as the issue was dead and there was nothing more that really needed to be said. But then, it popped up in the news with several new events, like a "new strand" and companies making regulations over it again, so it's a relevant news topic again.

So where could news about it be posted? Is the thread created for coronavirus discussion a """general"""? Well if it's banned from being posted there, where do you post it? To the random news thread, or other amalgamation of news? No, that too is declared a """general""". So do you make a new thread? No, we already have a thread for coronavirus, so that makes any new thread a rule 11 violation. And that rule actually makes sense, because duplicate threads reduce the quality of the catalogue. So then where could new updates and news about the Coronavirus be posted? It would seem the answer is nowhere; every possible location on /mlpol/ would be a "rule violation." And just like that, /mlpol/ has rules banning discussion about coronavirus that are actually stricter than Youtube or Twitter had at the height of censorship. That is stupid, and everyone should see that that is stupid.

>>8120
Then how to proceed without the mod banning me again?

>>8121
It seems to me that you're thinking about this a little backwards. Instead of worrying about how to post low-engagement content without getting banned, maybe you should be putting a little more thought into what you post to begin with. From what you've been saying, it seems like the content you want to post mainly consists of news articles and memes that are generating little meaningful discussion. The issue for you seems to be whether it's preferable to dump all of this content into a single containment thread or make a separate thread for each article. Imo this question completely misses the point.

This is a discussion site, not a news and meme aggregator. If you come across a news article that you think would provoke some meaningful discussion on the board, then the thing to do would be to make a thread with a meaningful subject line, a link to the article, and maybe a brief summation of what the article is about. Since not every news article is a discussion-worthy event, it's probably worth putting some thought into whether or not the article you want to post is worth posting.

As you've pointed out, in the past we've had complaints about slower pony-related threads being pushed out of the catalog by large floods of news-related threads that receive few replies, and this is a valid complaint. However, taking the same amount of threads and dumping them into a single neverending general isn't really a solution either, since the core problem is that if the threads are not receiving replies, it probably means that no one is interested in discussing these topics in the first place. So if that's the case, why post any of it at all?

The overall goal here is not to restrict content, but to improve the quality of content. In general we don't like to tell anyone what they can or can't post, but if an individual user is flooding the board with low-quality content that generates little meaningful discussion, it brings down the quality of the site overall and ruins the experience for all users. So, while in general we prefer that it be a last resort, we do reserve the right to hand out bans or to delete content as we see fit.

>>8120
>And just like that, /mlpol/ has rules banning discussion about coronavirus that are actually stricter than Youtube or Twitter had at the height of censorship. That is stupid, and everyone should see that that is stupid.
Or maybe, just maybe, the OP is not even willing to have a discussion to begin with. So his thread ends up becoming a spam dump.
I suggest you take your time to analyze the situation more thoroughly before making a judgment. This shit has been going on for quite a while now. Your mods didn't act arbitrarily.
Alternatively, you can just ignore it like you've done so all this time. And go back to the designated neckbeard thread.

>>8121
First of all, everything that Fasces said about not posting dumps of memes without comment, and of the need to generate actual discussion, applies.

What Elway says in >>8122 is on point as well and you should read that post thoroughly.

Second, posting of news where relevant and not redundant, is not banned from /mlpol/, and we are not going to interpret in such a way as to ban all discussion about political topics.

A news post must at minimum have a link to a news article, and multiple lines of text (usually green text) quoting the linked article, or summarizing it in enough detail that the content of the article can be understood by reading the post. The news must have some connection to politics or the culture wars, and should not be duplicative.

When posting news, first check and see if there is a thread on that topic, and if there is, post it in that thread. If there is not, you should make a new thread. The proper organization is by topic. Generalized news threads like Random News, and American Politics, are not allowed

>>8123
This is not just a Boom Boom issue; we need generalized rules concerning news, so I think it's worthwhile to clarify. Making a rule that accidentally bans all discussion of Coronavirus just because you hate and want to contain Boom Boom is not wise. We have other ways of constraining him that don't have such collateral damage.

>>8123
>Or maybe, just maybe, the OP is not even willing to have a discussion to begin with.
But you can have a discussion with everybody else, don't you?
And if nobody replies, then what? Every post is a testimony of how the psyop developed and still is developing and is rich enough for every faggot interested on digging in the truth.
Shutting down posting only favors the conspirators. Also if it is not of your liking, just ignore it, but silencing threads is not how it works.

>>8124
Cool, I'm not advocating for corona ban either.

>>8126
There is a big chunk of generals that are a reflection of the current political times, memes included, if those threads have little engagement is because the board is deserted, don't blame me, I do my part and very well.

>>8125
Post a zip file then. Preferably an external link so you don't waste server storage.
/s
I don't think this site's supposed to be your blogpost/repository.

>>8125
>Every post is a testimony of how the psyop developed and still is developing and is rich enough for every faggot interested on digging in the truth.
The problem here is that this is not why this site exists. As I stated above, this is a discussion site, not a news aggregator or a site for archiving news articles. If you simply want to keep a detailed public record of every development in the Corona/vaccine conspiracy, you may want to consider creating your own private site to contain it.

>Also if it is not of your liking, just ignore it, but silencing threads is not how it works.
The problem here is that we have a limited amount of space in the catalog, and people get tired of seeing megathreads that are nothing but huge information dumps with no discussion going on being constantly bumped to the top of the front page/overboard. There is also a concern about slower-moving threads with better discussion and content getting crowded out by large dumps of memes and information. Again, this is a discussion site, not an aggregator. If your project is simply to document the coronavirus issue, you should consider creating your own site or hosting an off-site backup of corona-related information as >>8128 suggests.

>>8128
>I don't think this site's supposed to be your blogpost/repository.
I agree, that's why your claim is untrue. My posting is not about me, but the current political situation. When you demand my engagement in discussion, you indeed want to make it about me.

>>8130
Bro, you literally namefag half the time.
Anyways, address Elway or something. Maybe they'll get tired after a while. Not that I blame them.

>>8129
>Second, posting of news where relevant and not redundant, is not banned from /mlpol/
I wish that would be slightly close. I'm getting banned just for sniffing.

>>8132
The first pic is a heavy handed ban, the second is a ruthless application of Rule 3. Even posts that a well within of the rules are fought with controversies to make me desist and retire from the board. Sorry, that won't happen.

I kinda like meme, news dumps and such even if I'm not replying, I still end up lurking stuff.
I kinda like to when threads don't need to be overwritten in order to exist. Also, I think so long as the post fit the thread, there is no problem if it is a simple meme.
Perhaps there is more to it. I haven't really managed to follow what's going on here but that's my two cents.

>>8134
>I haven't really managed to follow what's going on here
Simple, some ponyfags decided by themselves that the board belong to them only and /pol/ fags are unwanted. They managed to expel most of them

>>8132
>>8133
First of all, what you're quoting is from Lotus's post, not mine. Second, you're taking these ban screens out of context.

>The first pic is a heavy handed ban, the second is a ruthless application of Rule 3. Even posts that a well within of the rules are fought with controversies to make me desist and retire from the board. Sorry, that won't happen.
This is pure gaslighting. Your bans are the end result of a much larger pattern of obnoxious spamming that multiple anons have complained about. As I stated earlier, we prefer not to ban people or to delete posts if we don't have to, but you're leaving us little choice at this point.

>>8136
>Your bans are the end result of a much larger pattern
I agree, your campaign against my posting is long and widely known.

>>8137
Well, I've said my piece. Try not to get lonely up there on your cross, m'kay?

>>8138
>Try not to get lonely up there on your cross
I hope not for long and some fags will join my crusade.

>>8132
Well, you’re not going to be banned for the second kind of post anymore. If you’re banned, it’ll be because of shitty behavior. Again, everything else said by Fasces and Elway applies.

Also, see >>8131
Personally, I don’t care about meme dumps or “””spam””” nearly half as much as I do about the namegagging. This is an anonymous imageboard. The point is for anons to not have an identity. You have an American geolocater flag, so you have an easier time remaining anonymous than some posters. You should take advantage of that.

>>8140
Thanks, but I doubt that will last long. They have take it personal and will look for way to circumvent the directives and suppress my posting. That is guaranteed.

>>8132
>First Pic
Wow necro bumping a thread with zero content how could this have happened.
Instead of posting on /qa/ where that post you posted belongs, you posted it on the page ten almost dead thread.
>>>/ub/6917 →
Then you go totally off topic continually smugging at anyone and always denying any meaningful response.
Deflecting everything and leaving a toxic pit in your wake.
>>>/ub/6923 →
And you just ask some random anon for SITE WIDE IMPLEMENTATION out of the blue. It's like you think everybody is an admin or mod so the first response is the truest response.
So take a moment and look at the ID mods and admins use. You'll notice they don't have numbers.
>>>/ub/6925 →
Then when somebody says why not put the SITE related META thread QUESTION where it's supposed to be. It's brushed off that anywhere and everywhere else is just as good to shit up almost dead threads with a post of little In-Topic value.
The reactions continue till the last post
>>>/ub/6936 →
So I as a random user think that first ban is deserved. But apparently the obvious meaning of why has escaped your impeccable reading skills.
It has 35 total posts and 19 (20) of them are new. And it's necro'd at the very end of its life for something that goes in /qa/.
That means 16 posts not including the original poster's post. Every post has nothing to do with the OP in and of itself.

>>8140
Ah.
Here's pones for everyone

>>8141

What is that even supposed to mean?

>>8137

>>8135
This isn't even close to true. You keep bringing it up to push a fictitious wedge between the two halves of this community.

>>8111
>accountability is nowhere to be seen, the staff has not been sacked yet
What are you asking for?

>>8092
Rule #3 is ponies allowed. Posting news in a general violates what you agreed to, no generals, which is Rule #9 and reads as follows:

9. "HAPPENINGS" allowed, but not "GENERALS"
"HAPPENINGS" are the first responder threads to world events, and are required to have basic information; who, what, when, where, how, why, and a citation or link to an article or direct video of the event itself
"GENERALS" are circlejerks that stew like-minded opinions without room for dissension, recall that originally Trump threads were an interesting place to get up-to date on the election and eventually became 30 awoo posts, 10 copy-pasted link posts, 20 posts about memeing energy, and and 200+ posts talking about dubs with little actual discussion talking
To prevent the kind of closed-minded thinking that was basically meme petri dishes "GENERALS" are forbidden, first post is edited to a happening, second is deleted with a warning, third is bannable

I already discussed with you at length about violating this rule multiple times. You have been warned time and time again. You were banned for once again ignoring me and posting to a general.

>>8098
Regardless of looks, that is the rule. If you want the rules to change, please set up a call for a change and discuss it with staff and anons to make your case.

>>8103
Then don't post garbage. Put effort in your posting and don't post every single thing you run across. Fucking hell.

>>8109
Rule #3 is ponies. Rule #9 is what you are referring to. Try pulling up the Policy page that is located at the top of your screen once in a while and make correct arguments.

You are assured that if you post to a general, you will be banned as of Rule #9. This is not going to change because you bitch about a ban. You have to actually attempt a rule change motion.

>>8120
That is where #9 comes in. Happenings are allowed while still appearing to be a general. There is no major happening and so the general needs to go and a specific thread would need to be made like:
"Attempts to reignite a lock down like during corona virus"
This would be more specific, touch on news events, and is not just posting anything at all related to vaccines, people getting sick and passing out, tweets from random people that support or deny corona virus stuff and can be engaging by discussing the movements of nations to reinstall a certain economic and political system of lock down.

It isn't censorship to be more specific. This way you can post and not violate a rule. We can accept multiple threads of the same general topic if they actually discuss different things. We are not limited to a singular topic of a singular subject. That is why there is a thread about G5 plot and a thread about G4 background stuff. It doesn't actually overlap.

>>8121
Listen to any one of my endless suggestions and not ignore literally everything I say. What I have suggested is not unreasonable in the slightest.

>>8132
>>8133
Read the ban descriptions. You violated rules. You decided to violate on multiple occasions to keep reports in /qa/ and the report feature, instead commenting in threads you wished to be banned, then were told directly to stop posting in generals and you then proceeded to post in a general. You were banned correctly.

>>8135
If /pol/fags refuse to follow rules on /pol/, they get banned instantly. If /pol/fags refuse to follow rules on /mlpol/. they get banned after extensive negotiations and attempts to solve the problem peacefully. You have no excuse.

>>8136
As Elway has stated, you are attempting to garner support for behavior that has been dealt with reasonably throughout months of trying to talk to you about this.

>>8137
Lotus and Elway have never been against your posting and have been completely disinterested in the whole situation up until just now. I have been the only one you have been against. Leave them out of your ire and direct it at me, since I am the one actually taking issue here.

>>8140
Another good point. It is counter-productive to make a name for yourself on the site and throw weight around. Just make good content.

>>8142
Thanks for coming here with the facts anon.

>>8111
So, we are left ultimately with this. This is the core issue. You are mad about your threads being extremely off topic in /int/ and being deleted, thus you want staff removed so you may do what you wish. This is your position and this explains why you refuse at every turn to engage in conversation to deal with this peacefully. You do not wish for peace. You want blood. You want to see people removed for opposing you.

You need to admit defeat and resign to discussion and figuring out a practical solution. You failed to convince any of the staff that were completely neutral of your side and instead pissed them off. There is no other solution to this. Talk it out with me or just continue to be angry, I guess.

>>8149
>So, we are left ultimately with this. This is the core issue. You are mad about your threads being extremely off topic in /int/ and being deleted,
Yes, I'm upset. Threads take effort and time to build and being destroyed is not something to wish to anybody.
>thus you want staff removed so you may do what you wish. This is your position and this explains why you refuse at every turn to engage in conversation to deal with this peacefully. You do not wish for peace. You want blood. You want to see people removed for opposing you.
This needs a clarification ASAP. I'm not that petty and understand very well that anyone in the staff will never be sacked because a disagreement with a user, but very probably might be possible if they enter in collision course with the top stallion, which this is not the case. You are confusing a saber-rattling rant with real hurtful intentions.

It's all so tiresome.

>Threads take effort and time to build
Yeah. Threads also die when it's time though. Some are reborn.
There's some posting behaviors that improve the longevity of threads.
Most call it positive engagement.
Threads are built upon mutual engagment.

Decent threads are built either vertically and horizontally.
Vertical threads rely on a single source such as a specific story or green text posted by some Anon. Other Anon's tend to imput greater depth.
Horizontal threads rely upon every contribution by each Anon having a wide breadth. Each interaction increasing the interconnected knowledge of topics usually not brushed upon.
Most threads are some mix of both.
The shape and structure of threads isn't covered here.
This applies to both additive and refining and destructive interactions.
Additive interactions increase something of the communication.
Refining interactions refine and hone something of the communication.
Destructive interactions burn communications down. That is burnt bridges.
Threads subsist on Additive and Refining interactions.
That's positive engagement.

Destructive interactions are the reply to Additive and Refining interactions. The end result is punishing Additive or Refining interactions. Which means threads die. Which also means decreased trust.
As Additive and Refining interactions are the heart and soul of communication thus positive healthy relationships. There is too much of a good thing or one or the other which can also degrade interpersonal relationships.

>>8161
>blah blah blah blah blah
And yet (you) are not posting and if so, I'm should be blind.

>>8152
Allow myself to be super clear then. If you cannot stand how we run things, make a thread asking for things to be changed and be open to discussion.

If you do not wish to do this, engage in conversation about how you are not in violation of any rules.

If you do not wish to do this, alter you posting behavior to one of many suggestions to better fit with policy.

If you do not wish to do this, you are left with two choices: deal with our judgement when you fall out of line when you refuse to obey the policy page, or stop posting.

Obviously, stopping posting is not desirable in itself, but if you refuse all other options it is not off the table for you to decide.

>>8154
Literally yes. You must demand a change or we will continue current enforcement. That is just how it works. You bitching at me building some secret cult of anti-you posters does not make any change to the policy page.

And he is actually PROUD of the fact he has 50,000 posts where all he does is post a bunch of shit off his drive or mindlessly tell others that they aren't posting enough for his tastes -- nevermind that those people are actually putting thought and care into their posts once in a red moon.

From this position seeing it play out again yet in a different perspective and coat of paint.
I think you can have your solution and the means to your solutions. You'd be even more able to accomplish whatever you set your heart to.
It's at the core trying to stone wall people rather than address the metaphysical powers.
I don't know how to teach social skills, but I'm sure it does exist somewhere. Psychology and Sociology is as close to checkmarks one can get to, but in this day and age there are a plethora of resources. Many that are free.

>>8132
Not using the report function is kinda of a weird thing to get banned for. If someone is helpful to point out that, or just ask the question whether or not a thread might be better suited on another board, isn't this just good for the mods since it helps make their work easier.

>generals
Yes, it always been in the rules but I don't think we actually have use that rule up till this point. I should know because I have been in favour that we should have been using it more in the past. To reiterate my point for clarity: I pretty sure we haven't used the "no generals" rule much up until this point but there has been many instances where we could have, imo.

And did he get banned for posting to a general? But wouldn't it make more sense for him to be banned for posting a general not to a general, since the first one should be lock or remove anyway?

I see that our guy uses a vpns and such so a ban probably means nothing to him. There might also be some context to this that I'm missing. I haven't read all this thread because it's kinda of a lot.

I'm just giving you my limited opinions.

>>8177
Hope this text didn't come off agressively.

>>8177
See >>8142

Plus that's what the report function is for. The report function is there for something that the administration can see easily a suggested course of action for the description of the reported post.
If something isn't ever supposed to be it'll be able to get whacked efficiently whenever they are online.
A regular post does none of that.
A regular post doesn't alert, isn't a call to action, and degrades a thread to being more like /qa/.
There's also /qa/ which the administration checks and responds as administrators.
As in /qa/ is where questions are answered. For dialogue with the administrators and moderators about tangentially related topics.
Such as threads, site related stuff, rules, post modification or deletion, conduct, features, possible new stuff and more.
The key is the Talking with.

A post outside of /qa/ about things that should be in /qa/ (or a report) will have anons know its not supposed to be in that thread as it is. Which in turn leads to posts that are off topic and could in theory generate more reports or /qa/ thread/posts.
Necro bumping an actual thread with totally off topic that by all intents and purposes is dead (saying it should be dead in another section), isn't great. Again all things considered in the situation at hand.
Instead if you have an actual project post that as that new thread once the old one dies in the new location.
Or use the /qa/ or report to ask for it to be moved to somewhere more appropriate.
(I mean it was page 10 dead on /ub/ that's about as dead as it gets. Just let it die.)

>>8177
>Not using the report function is kinda of a weird thing to get banned for.
Instead of necro-bumping a thread to suggest it should be moved to another board, he should have either used /qa/ or the report feature.
>But wouldn't it make more sense for him to be banned for posting a general not to a general, since the first one should be lock or remove anyway?
He's OP of multiple generals. And he brags about it constantly. You'll be made aware of this fact if you simply use the site regularly.
>I see that our guy uses a vpns and such so a ban probably means nothing to him.
I dunno, he's royaly pissed whenever it happens. And he backs away whenever it happens. I think it's worth a try. It must be at least quite the annoyance if he reacts like that.
>There might also be some context to this that I'm missing. I haven't read all this thread because it's kinda of a lot.
As always.

>>8168
>50k shitposts

>>8169
>"ultimatum"
>until you decide to
Why do you keep moving the goalpost? Either ban him or don't. He's been a scourge on this site and has never once shown intention to change. He thinks he's Jesus Christ just because he posts more than others, with no regard to the quality of content that he posts or that nobody is engaging with it (in fact, I think it suppresses other posters, because it feels like he's the only one they're talking to). He randomly calls other Anons "newfags" (even when they've been around longer than him) or "shills" (as if) when they dare to disagree with him or consider nuance in conversation. He derails discussions that don't go his way by burying them in memes from this Facebook algorithm. He drives other users away because when they log onto the site under the presumption that it's "better quality than /pol/" all they see is his shitposts drowning out everything else. He openly scoffs at standards of etiquette and quality that have been customary on /mlpol/ and 4chan since long before he started posting here.
Of course, none of the above things are banable, but they're reasons why it's not worth giving him more slack when this behavior is coupled with his willful and repetitive violation of this site's rules. He is not willing to change, so why keep forgiving him or applying impotent one-day bans?

>>8182
Boom Booms is like Saul Goodman at Davis & Main. Even if he weren't breaking the rules and flipping off the cop that pulled him over, he's still doing his damnedest to get into trouble, all because his Telegram buddies said that chans are mean and he assumed that's all he has to do to be one of the anons. Every rule of etiquette to him is an obstacle to be circumvented or bruteforced. Not one time since I first saw a post that I knew was from him did he seem interested in doing anything but shit on everything and everyone and tell them it's good for their skin.

>>8180
I agree that that necro-bumping was unnecessary.
>>8179
Yes, it makes sense to use the report function but I disagree that you should be banned for trying to be helpful to mods. It seems like that was the intention of the post, unless he just did it to be annoying.
>>8180
>He's OP of multiple generals.
Okay, but was he OP of that thread?
>he's royaly pissed whenever it happen
Not to say that he needs to be correct because of this but he seems the least pissed off in general, ITT and elsewhere.

>>8184
>he seems the least pissed off in general
The retard said he was being "crucified", over a one-day ban and some other Anons calling him out.

>>8185
Hmm, yeah maybe I retract that. I think I just wanted everyone to calm down, I guess.

You guys can probably have fair points and I will reveal my bias: I kinda like a lot of his threads and posts. Not everything but to call it all sewage doesn't ring true to me.

>>8182
Maybe because he isn't an admin?
>>8184
>unless he just did it to be annoying.
He was told necro-bumping the thread was wrong. And then he went on a smug tirade against it. He also can't stfu about fasces. And implied he wanted him sacked.
So, I don't think his intentions were good, but regardless of intentions, it was wrong to necro-bump. If he had just moved on after he was told it was wrong, it would've been different.
>Okay, but was he OP of that thread?
Yes, and multiple others.
Sorry for being mean anon. But can you get the full context by yourself before hopping in? At least this once? You aren't staff, so there's no problem if you stay out of this. You know?
>>8186
Yeah, I've seen you post similar memes in the books thread. Bussineet Doggo?

>>8187

Booms implied that he wanted fasces sacked. That's what I meant to say.

>Maybe because he isn't an admin?
Is it only admins that can ban users or make definitive decisions? I don't think so.
Also, all the staff have admin access now. They have for years.

>>8189
Irrelevant if he can't get pooper or lotus to agree.

>>8190
Is that even necessary for bans?
What's the threshold needed for action?

>>8191
Who the fuck knows tbh. Overt spam of suspicious links? CP?

>>8192
Idk if there even is a system. The way staff make decisions is rather opaque.

>>8187
>not trying to be mean
Thank you.
I mean its kinda hard to have the full context of this; its a converation spamming over many different threads so I don't think there's any problem with my questions so long as Im transparent that I don't have the full picture.
>at least this once
I disagree, I usually have mostly full context in the conversations I engage in.

The reason I involve myself is because, as I said, I do appriciate some of his posts. But the same can be said for Nigel's posts but they can definitely be improved upon so if its just the way he posts not the substance, then its not that big of a deal to me.

>>8193
They do it through dicksword I think. I'm mostly talking based off the dynamics I've observed these last years.
>>8194
>its a converation spamming over many different threads so I don't think there's any problem with my questions so long as Im transparent that I don't have the full picture.
That's fair.
>I disagree, I usually have mostly full context in the conversations I engage in.
Alright then.
>Nigel
I'd prefer if we keep him out of this.

>>8195
>thats fair.
Aw thanks^^

Tho, Im actually gonna do what u said. I might lurk from time to time tho. Both because my computer broke and im phoneposting but also because i said everythimg i wanted to say.
Lets see how this turns out.

>>8188
The mod wanted booms out first, and he did nothing wrong, he has his own threads and didn't messed with other threads up like you people are doing.
Let's face it, this place went to shit when some anons begun to police content like jewtube or jewbook.

Then why are you here?

I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you people, you already got a dead site and shit on the only poster begging to post because muh whatever excuse to pull out your ass. Every time I drop by there are these threads going on turning off any lurker.
Pupper, get real, if shutting down /mlpol/ is your wish then do it, but you cannot play with users that want to post while Fasces are blocking them.
The toxicity here is off the scale. These niggers don't want you to post and as you were saying post nothing. Fucking unreal.
Booms better go other place, they are toying with you and this shitshow never couldn't happen if was not allowed by Pupper.

>>8202
What's wrong with us? I don't know what's wrong with (You)! How can you see a single post from that guy and see anything positive? Nothing he's done here is worth anything. And if you can't see it then you weren't around when the site actually had a purpose and motivation. All he ever does is spam articles he hasn't read, dump low end "I'm smarter than you nanna nanna boo boo" bottomtext memes, and proclaim the superiority of his beliefs without ever actually arguing his case. If any of these three things is questioned, he moves on to do one of the other two, ad nauseum.
This site used to have some semblance of order. I don't care how often posts are made as long as there's at least one decent conversation a week, but instead all I ever see is pissing contests from our lovely guest from Telegram or DnD campaigns from the staff. /ub/'s got about as much self improvement advice as Boom's meme folder does by now. /sp/ is indistinguishable from /mlpol/. All that any of us have actually done is regurgitate talking points and memes from before the site was founded, which for some reason warrants creating new thread after new thread which we promise isn't spam you guys.

>>8202
>What the fuck is wrong with you people
Maybe we just wanted a fucking conversation and not someone being a shitty bot.
Maybe instead of denial and Reeeeing about counter points or even basic observations, but maybe actual bants.
But no.
No when some makes any kind of interactive statement it'll be shut it down by Mr Hotshot himself 50k posts a second.

Good gracious who can talk to the rabble who doesn't post 50 thousand times a second. No just give them the picure from a smug folder that'll have to do.
Much too important to even attempt to give any others due time and effort too many 50k posts and so little time.
Why without those 50 thousand posts oozing from every thread and interaction how else would anyone possibly interact online.
Inconceivable.
Those peasants arguing about trifles like 'coherent discussion' or 'what the fuck this is retarded explain yourself' truthfully they can't even begin to grasp the Fifty thousand post per second. They'll just need to watch others five hour video diatribe and the playlist and that playlist's playlist and if they can't even comprehend his genius let alone my own 50k genius they ought to just make do with second best.
Oh? The argument makes no sense? Well just watch it again idiot.
Still is this so called big retard energy? Well checkmate reverse uno it you who has the big retard energy. I'm 50 thousand posts ahead of you.
Ah ha trying to argue that one of my posts makes no sense? I have twenty more checkmate but with checkers.
Go ahead I'm very busy with my heady 50k posts per second per second so little peon tell me what those silly /mlpopol/'s think about this. Can't? Because you arn't an admin or mod.
C H E C K M A T E.
Silly little egotripping narcissists it is I who has the biggest 50 thousands per thousands per second posts who make up this website. It I the 50k posts Anon who make up the life blood and user count.
Without me the 50 thousand gorrillion posts a day anon you'd be left with your twenty posts every half week. How absolutely dreadful would that be.
For you see I the 50 grand anon will enlighten you all by replying to myself and others as if I'm different other 50 grand anons.
Yes bask in my glory. How do you even know all those other 50 thosand posts resemble each other. How could anyone possibly figure out patterns of behavior, for my color ID is different!

Foolish peons did you not witness the terrifying shock of losing the 50 thousand posts per picosecond in which I so graciously left for you all to stew in your lacking of 50 thousand posts per plank-second.
What's that? Talking with the rabble ugh disgusting, I must leave to go puke. Puke hard, I do these 50 thousand pukes for you.
Finally one of the little people outright made a post saying that one of my 50 thosand posts per second³ is decent and they looked at it. Those other ungrateful mental midgets they wouldn't even begin to survive if I began to debate them in any capacity.
This whole site something is wrong about it, ah of course, it's not centered around I the 50 thousand posts anon. They ought to rejoice it is I who brings threads and this site to life.
How could anyone possibly live without my 50k posts.
Quality? Hahaha quantity is good enough for them that's the most important quality.
Incorrect post? Hahaha surely you've at least read my 50k other posts supporting what I've already assured is true.
My 50k posts are tingling I must go and absorb an image from Farcebook and post it on this backwater site.
Then I go eat a caviar cake, when these troglodytes forget I'll be there with my 50 thosands of posts.

Here's the foreshadow. The things about to occur. It will. It's so quotable. You wanted responses but not any discussion. Consider it a heads up a change course pretty please. A small taste of what is to come.

Pretty sure it was him who made this thread, and him who's continued to bump it with his self-pity.

No dice. I'm OP.

Is it okay if I dump complicated life issues here? I'm trying to figure out how to unfuck my shit.

>>8210
I guess so. But >>/ub/ might be better for advice and trying to become better.

>>8211
Said shit that needs unfucking is a shitty home life, and I just want to see if anyone has advice on how to get out of it. I'll write it all out, but it might take me a while.

I had already been contemplating making a post along these lines earlier in the week, but the final straw came today when my mom freaked out at me for setting up job interviews for next week. She doesn't believe this is the time of year to be looking for jobs, and she wants me to wait until November to start looking again (then when November comes around, she'll tell me I have to wait until the new year instead; she pulls this shit all the time). Just last week, she was okay with it, I've been job-seeking for the last month under the explicit understanding that she suddenly wanted to take action to fix our mess. My original plan was to crawl along enough to finagle a car for myself, then basically live out of that and work my way up from there. It's evident to me that nothing is going to be fixed as long as they have any influence over anything.

So, having given all of that background, my question is: What should I do from here? What's the best course of action for me to take to get myself out of this hole?

>this is unrelated to anything, but I haven't watched MLP since S3

>>8214
I know this isn't any help, but obviously you can't live with these people. Especially if they are fucking with your money. If you mom wants you to pay for the bills and won't let you work, then it is a death sentence. I wish I had something more to offer.

My brother had run from home with no car, no money, and only packing a single change of clothes and a Switch game system. The thing with him was he really wanted to be a tranny, so he asked his friends to take him to a bus stop and I guess he used whatever scraps he had from his part time job to ride to whatever gay commune he was destined to. It is extremely challenging if you don't have a destination in mind and friends to crash at, but if my fool of a brother can make it, I have a feeling you can too.

Season 4 wasn't that bad and there are some fun moments in 5.

>>8215
Thank you; at least you're frank about not having any answers. No one so far has been able to untie the knot. I don't really have any friends to turn to, I fell out of contact with the few I had a couple of years ago. They were aware I was dealing with shit, but just tried to ignore it. It's difficult to discuss the issue with people, especially regarding my family's behavior; it's so ludicrous that I'm sure people think I'm making it up. There are many things I had to leave out of my original post, even. It just gets to be too much.

I had already come to the conclusion that I have to leave, but I don't know what the first step I should take is. Probably look for a job within walking distance, I guess. Everything feels so intimidating.

>>8216
I've been there. People thinking you're making shit up if your backstory gets too tragic for the suspension of disbelief they'd have for a movie. Even if they lose literally nothing by believing you. And I've been homeless, too. Never knowing whose house I'll be at this week or if I'll have anywhere to go at all. It's not easy.

The most important thing is for you to not blame yourself. It is not your fault your family are a bunch of cunts. They sound like a bunch of cunts. You cannot fix these people. You shouldn't try. You don't owe these people anything. They have failed in their roles as parents, as inspirations, as the rock kids should be able to rely on. Your parents are active detriments to your life and capability to prepare for the future. They sound like jews. They sound like narcissists. They sound like parasites. They owe you better than this life. And they have failed. Don't let them trick you into thinking you need to fix them. God couldn't fix them. People like them don't change who they are at their core. If they ever act nicer for a while, it's a trick. They won't ever want to change for your benefit or theirs. But if they realize you want more out of life than you can get under their thumb, they will resent you. Loathe you. Envy you. And they will want back what they've lost if their awfulness causes them to lose their control over you, but they won't want it enough to change who they are.

Long term planning is important. Have backup plans. Get a backpack for snacks and tinned food you can eat anywhere, fruit salad tins are great. Living on the sofas of friends and having full control over your finances is better than living with untrustworthy relatives. Be prepared for this, some friends might decide you're lame and undesirable and not to be associated with now that you're homeless. Lost two friends to that during my college years. The cunts decided I was cringe now that I was living in someone else's house. Pricks. Some people are only your friend when it costs them nothing. Some people are only your friend when you have something they want. Some people will stop being your friend for the dumbest reasons. Some people are just retards.

Gyms are your friend. For an absurdly low price per month you get to use their showers and facilities. Gyms should offer sleeping pods like asian hotels but for the homeless, they'd make a killing and they surely can't be that hard to disassemble and clean.

Reconnect with the friends you can trust to let you sleep in their house while you get a job and start saving up for your own home. Ideally your friends will let you sleep in their houses rent free until you can afford to buy a house but if they want you to pay rent once you have a job that's fine too. As long as it's a reasonable price. Better for the money to go to your friends than a jew. Does your country have retarded laws on who can and cannot be a landlord? Would your friends need licenses to let you sleep on their floors? Once when reading a homeless man's blog he said buying and using a sleeping bag on a carpeted floor was more comfortable than the sofa he was sleeping on. Anyway your life cannot get better if you remain in captivity and let your family sabotage any hope you have of raising the funds to get out of there.

I haven't, but I also haven't left my parent's house yet, nor could I afford to leave and not be homeless should I have to leave. I don't think I can really count against the count of homelessness.

>nor could I afford to leave and not be homeless should I have to leave.
Not with that attitude, you can't.
Just get a job, buy an old van, grow a mustache, wear aviators, and fish by the river. You can even smash smelly hipster box on your shitty little van bed.
You'll be set for life, set for van life.
