For calm interpersonal discussions and questions and answers.
Also didn't deserve their own thread, but is geared for community engagements.
Also for community input and other things that happen to not be a question or an answer.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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/.

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.

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.
