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.

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/.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Every goddamn burst of activity comes from this walking sewage pipe who seems to think being showered with liquid shit every day is better than getting small bouts of seasonal rain. 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. This is what I get for even looking at this site while I wait for eviction. I have less reasons to be mad with doorcampers in Rust than I do for people like Boom.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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