He got answers. Multiple times.
It boils to /mlpol/ is a moderately high quality site with different rules than other image boards to keep the high quality.
Which means to preserve /mlpol/ Anon interactions rather than the clown world outside. I'm sorry when I made that assumption long ago.
In essence to bring good things here, that other image boards lack.
In the beginning it was hors pussy and spicy politics. That too still happens, but the scourge is gone.
To keep a place for ponies and politics and all the stuff added since.
/mlpol/ doesn't want to be exactly like other image boards.
As an example of a News article with discussion barring illiteracy about the effects that would ripple out.
>>>/mlpol/366893 →
Because the first post missed a KEY element that should have featured in The First Post. There's a follow up.
>>>/mlpol/366894 →
Then the thread dies off as the discussion is finished and many points are covered.
There is discussion as OP gave thoughts and points about the implications and possible uses as a starting point and continued responding in a discussion growing way. Everyone said what they wanted.

Good evening gentlercolts, Boom Boom here.
I heard you and you are missing my specific request. Faces can keep his precious high octane/quality /mlpol/ board, but I want to post without his nefarious interference in /sp/. Can I?

>>8247
A yes or not is enough.

>>8247
>>8248
You got your answer here.
>>8239
You deal with Elway there and as long as you don't piss him off like you did everyone else, you try your luck there. I won't stop you. He will if you don't think about what you are posting.

>>8242
>It might be at least 5 new threads every day.
If they're relevant news threads, that's good.

>>8244
>Booms put everything inside containers to keep everything neat and tide.
What is this "container"? A bunch of posts in a general thread is the same number of posts as OPs of individual threads, except with individual threads there's more likely to be discussion.

>>8249
So it's done.
I'm posting my random news thread in /sp/. As it was said above by anon in a nice and tiddy bread container to not piss off the writefags.

>>8246
Good points here.

>>8252
Good luck and may you not repeat the same arc as with me. Maybe try to be nice to Elway so you don't end up back here and begging people to allow your spam.

>>8254
>Good luck and may you not repeat the same arc as with me.
I'm the oppressed here in case you forgot. I tried before to move aside and all my threads in /1ntr/ were nuked, even when I have permission to post them. I never receive any apologies and reparations for the affront.

>>8255
>I'm the oppressed here
Nigger, you can fuck off with your delusions of persecution. Go run back to your Facebook feed if you feel so bullied here.
>apologies and reparations
Kill yourself.

>>8255
Your threads do not belong in /1ntr/. You just don't get it all these months later. Your threads are spam. Your threads break the rules. You were asked to leave /1ntr/ by the users because it didn't fit.

Surprising, I know, but you don't get to just do whatever. You were asked to change or compromise your style, you told me to fuck myself. I will never apologize to you and your shit content you copy from others on the internet that do the actual work. You take this deal and be at the mercy of Elway, or I will deal with you here. Your pick.

>>8255
>oy vey stop oppressing meeeeee
You're off to a great start already. I look forward to working with you.

>>8257
>You take this deal and be at the mercy of Elway, or I will deal with you here. Your pick.
>>8258
>I look forward to working with you.
Great. It's a conspiracy now.

>>8259
Oh no! The site is set up against you!
I guess you have no choice but to pack up and search for greener pastures. Perhaps a new Facebook group, or a subreddit will do.

>>8259
>oy vey it's a conspeeeeeeeeracy

Don’t mind me, just moving files from my phone to my laptop

I'm the anon that was complaining about family a while back. The township's Democrat party sent out a newsletter last week (my dad is a dem), and it was listing a bunch of complaints of corruption from a particular GOP councilman. I think this is the same man that we ran afoul with in 2017; long story short, he started some big fiasco that lasted an entire year over the terrible state of our home, after possibly illegally trespassing into it, and that probably happened without the township's knowledge since he was apparently doing all sorts of other stuff under their noses. The incident is the big reason why my family has been so messed up (I think I only mentioned it in passing once, there's too much stuff to go over). They didn't want to seek legal action because they're still retards in the end. I wasn't physically present for most of it since I was working at the time, so I doubt there was much I could do.

I had the thought of telling my story to the dems so I could open up some sort of avenue for legal action or at least receive some sort of guidance on how to proceed with this. However, it's very possible that their accusations are full of shit and getting them involved might make a big mess. Incidentally, one of the dem councilmen running for these upcoming elections is my former science teacher from high school, who got fired in my senior year for allegedly sharing answers on standardized tests or something; I don't think I ever got the full story, only rumors. Acting without seeking any advice in a situation like this sounds immensely retarded even for the son of anon's family.

>>8459
I wish I could help, but I am not qualified to give advice on families, let alone political struggles of an entire town involving corruption and legal action. All I can say is that it sounds like your best action is to try to leave one day to somewhere less insane. I hope you will do well in the meantime.

This Mongolian Karaoke was down without warning. What happened?

>>8532
Sorry ya'll when the buck broke it dun tripped into the digitahl an' ya'll know a buck runnin' around makes a mess of things.
Had to use some ol' bloodline Buck Breaking techniques an' the silly-cons just broke.
Then just had to go even further to break the breaking.
Ya'll know how buck breaking gets when it's serious.

>>8533
>obfuscation
So cute.

>>8534
No I was shit posting, I'm just an anonymous shitposter and I have nothing to do with the server in anyway shape or form.
Besides the whole buck breaking incident.
So stop making assumptions.

>>8535
>Besides the whole buck breaking incident.
Huh? I wanna know moar.

>>8536
No can do Hoss. You're a Buck Breaker or you're not.
Yah could be a buck.
Every Buck Breaker knows the twenty seven Buck Breaking incidents. Not even counting the extended editions, encoded editions and bloodline editions.
It's ain't easy. No it ain't.
Unless you got ties to a Buck Breaker by the tenth break, I'm not allowed to read yah in.
An' a Buck Breaker got the ties already. Unless your mentorship ended by events of death or tragedy or the rare case one-one is out of my hands.
The most I can give is the public version of events.
I'll see if those can't be snagged from the Breaker shelf.
Can't promise anything concrete.
It's a stretch might try altering parts of director's cut.

>>8536
Bucks were broken. I'll spare you the details.

>>8537

Well, I guess I'm not asking any moar.

How do you justify being zoophiles and pedophiles when claiming to espouse white nationalism?
frenschan tier honeypot

>>8544
>Zoophiles
Horses are white.
>pedo
Lies and slander.

>>8545
>ponies are huwhite
Not that I care. But even if it were true, it goes well beyond ponies. I've seen gryphon lovers here.

>>8546
I haven't seen griffon posters in a while. They're marginal.

>>8547
That's not all. It was high profile. Also a DnD dood.

>>8548
When?

>>8548
I haven't seen any of that in a long time, and I frequent the overboard on this site every day. Little griffon posting in the past several years. You must be thinking of something a LONG time ago. If it were prevalent, I would have seen it. Moreover, the d&d posters barely post any images, so for you to say that there was a prevalent griffon poster in those threads implies that you either closely lurked those threads and/or were a member of them...
Are you Zald?

>>8544
LOL

>>8550
Who said anything about prevalence? I said it was high profile, meaning the user in question is a regular. It was an admin.
>Are you Zald?
Nope. But what an odd question to make.

>>8552
Tell me how I know your IQ, your history and the depths of brain cancer you're trying to spread.

>>8553
Why are you so defensive anon? Are you the degenerate admin?

>>8552
How do you know that? Can you point it out?

>>8555
Is that what you want? I personally don't care. Nothing could taint my opinion of him, more than it already is. But if you want, I can put some time to it. /vx/ threads are messy.

>>8556
I just haven't seen any griffons posted anywhere in a long time, so I find it hard to believe your assertion that it's a pervasive issue, as you implied in >>8544 >>8546
And you said "griffon lovers" plural, when it's questionable if there's even a single one still around.
And to relate it to your question, griffon posters hardly imply zoophiles, because griffons are fictional creatures and posting about them has very little basis in reality.
Not sure what your point is here.

>>8556
>Is that what you want?
>I can put some time to it
Well, you did raise the issue and start the discussion, so you may as well elaborate on it.

>>8557
>so I find it hard to believe your assertion that it's a pervasive issue, as you implied in
I see what's going on now. I'm not the same anon. I never said anything about zoophiles. My ID did change here tho. [This post is mine >>8556]
>And you said "griffon lovers" plural
True, it might have only been the admin.
>>8558
Okay. I'll see if I can find it later today. I don't think it's a big issue, but some poners may differ. The guy got called out for it and his response was something along the lines of:
>"If you haven't tasted the pie, you can't judge it's flavor."

>>8559
If it has nothing to do with zoophiles, why did you bring it up in response to that?
It's only normal to have a handful of posters posting about griffons on a pony forum.

>>8560
He called you zoophiles because you liked ponies in a sexual way. You said ponies are white. Well, this guy liked gryphons in a sexual way too.
Chillax dude.

>>8561
>not liking gryphons in a sexual way
Now that's just antisemitic.

>>8562
A cat-bird is fine too.

>>8562
It's fine if you do. I don't really care. There's all sorts of kinks and sexual fetishes out there. We mustn't judge people over it.
I'm only mentioning the incident because it might be useful for Anon. We're all seeking the truth in the end.

>>8565
My ID changed again.

>>8565
So you're just shitting up the place for no reason then?
Yoy haven't to pointed to anything.
You haven't made the board better by any of your posts.
You haven't raised any thought engaging posts.
You're just saying shit.
What the fuck is your major malfunction.
So Why did you bring it up?

>>8567
>What the fuck is your major malfunction.
My pony senses are pointing at an individual, very likely a woman, doing a pseudo research for gibs.

Useful for what? I don't get it.

Around 10 fags at Movie Night, just one cared to post at /mlpol/
Curiously, there are always a couple ready to jump at regular posters to bully them into silence...
You dumbasses made the bed, now own it.

>>8578
Wow it's almost like watching stuff is the core engagement and not just shit posting.

>>8578
>You dumbasses made the bed, now own it.
What are you even talking about?
>bully them
>them
>implying
I (and other posters) bully (You), singular, because your posts fucking suck, and then (You) play the victim in threads like this when people show any resistance to your sewage because (You) can't handle the bantz. (You) know why I can tell it's always (You)? Because your posting style hasn't improved since the day (You) arrived here; if anything, your posts have gotten worse as (You) let your ego get to (You).
And for the record, I make tons of posts on this site. I also regularly make new threads, unlike (You) who only bumps your shitty generals with crap nopony asked for. I have 25 threads on the catalog, only one of which could be considered a "general", so your bullshit claim about posters who dislike your posts not posting themselves is completely moot. Since the beginning of this site I've made it my duty to make sure mlpol.net had content even on months where the number of posters dropped to single digits in the early days of this site before recovering. I used all kinds of tactics, from fetching better-quality threads from 8chan, to fishing for posters, to reaching out to artists on discord to do art dumps, to sockpuppeting conversations when I got desperate; but I never, ever resorted to flooding it with crappy boomer-tier sewage posts for the sake of posting. I try to make my threads quality, although it pains me when I see my threads devolve into garbage as (You) treat them like generals and bump them with vaguely-related news posts instead of making your own goddamn threads.
I'm also one of 2-3 posters who even bothers to reply to your crappy generals on /sp/ and start conversations; and (You) get bent out of shape every time just because I dared to sage them (I don't bump generals. (You) can bump them yourself if (You) want), because apparently that makes a difference.

And for the record, I don't usually attend movie night. I do keep contact with the off-site community though, and I know no less than 3 posters who've said they don't bother to post to this site anymore because they're tired of your sewage all over the board; I can't really blame them, because when I look at the recent posts on this site it looks worse than 4chan on some days because of your garbage. And yet (You) go "woe is me, I don't have anyone left to play with", after years of covering the board with liquid shit and relentlessly antagonizing posters that have been here since the beginning of the site; and now (You) ironically tell the rest of the site to lie in the bed they made. Top zozzle.

But go ahead and continue feeling sorry for yourself and blaming everyone else who uses the site.

>>8578
>You dumbasses made the bed, now own it.
You say that like it's only our problem, when it's only you who's complaining about it.
But let me guess, you're going to continue posting anyway on the site you claim is dead?

>>8580
>deflecting and gaslighting
(You) are not righteous sir.

>>8581
>But let me guess, you're going to continue posting anyway on the site you claim is dead?
It is not about me, but (you).
(YOU) and frens are not posting enough.

>>8582
You don't even know what gaslighting means. What part of that is gaslighting? I'm just calling out your niggerdry and scoffing at your attention-hungry calls for sympathy.
>>8583
>26 threads on the catalog
Oh yeah, I'm totally not posting enough.
I guess i'll just make a shitty meme dump thread and bump it every couple hours with Facebook sewage instead.

>>8584
>26 threads on the catalog
What about your entitled frens, huh?

>8585
They make their own threads at a steady rate, unlike you who only bumps your awful generals.
>(You) meme
That's rich coming from the nigger who's complaining about lack of activity.

So? There is barely shitposting around. If there is a style, it cannot be seen.

>8600
>cannot be seen
You must be blind then, because I see it clearly.
There are dozens of Anons who post to this board. Just because they don't bump your generals every day doesn't mean they're not present. You complain about them not posting enough while you actively discourage content creators by flooding the board with whatever garbage Zuckerberg permits you to consume.
You don't even post ponies for real. You just take pics out a reaction image folder you downloaded from somewhere on the net (which I can tell because of lack of 4chan filenames) and smugpost with them, without ever actually talking about ponies. I don't believe you ever even used /mlp/ before this board.

>>8601

Also, when did saging become a problem? It's essential on /pol/.
This fucking insolent newfag has no idea how chan culture works.

>8605
Oh, what, did I hit a nerve?
You've been here for less than 4 years, and probably never even used 4chan before that. This board has declined in quality since you started posting because you refused to lurk and instead just went right away to dumping your garbage en-mass.

Merry Christmas everypony.
/mlpol/'s interface had a snowy revamp for Christmas and is awesome. However it may in some systems to use excessive CPU cycles to render it, the solution is a check mark away to disable it.
Have a comfy hoer Christmas.

Unless you're still running a core 2 duo, I doubt you can even notice any performance issues.

>>8611
>core 2 duo
I'm not sure how well my AMD performs against the Intel one, but the performance hit is noticeable.

>>8623
It does seem comparable to most core2duo CPU's in single core performance. But it is still a quad-core. I run an old Celeron, but I didn't expected anyone to be running shit hardware too.
But hey, maybe it doesn't have amd's PSP. If you know, you know.

>>8624
>but I didn't expected anyone to be running shit hardware too.
Wait to see my still working 14 years-old flip-phone.

>>8625
You browse /mlpol/ on a 14 year old flip phone? Why?

>>8628
My point: I am NOT a phonefag by any means.
Phones are devices to teletalk, that's it.

>>8630
Okay, but what's that to do with running shit hardware?
>Phones are devices to teletalk
Eh, I beg to differ. Phones are useful for a lot of things.
I still prefer to browse /mlpol/ on my desktop though.
That's a topic for another thread though.

>>8631

Everything. Antiques have their place too.

>>9184
No.

Does this faggot seriously not remember what happened last time? I'm scrolling up, and I remember why he was banned (when did he get unbanned?).

>>9193
His post history indicates a month ago. He has several IPs that he uses, so I guess he swapped to one that I went easy on before he was ban evading.

>>9194
>a month ago
No wonder I noticed the quality dip.
>he was ban evading
Isn't ban evasion cause for a ban?

>>9193
For the record. I asked permission to post again.

>>9195
Yep, but since he fucked off for a bit, we tend to be forgiving if someone returns after a prolonged absence. We have another poster around here that had gone through that. Though I am doubting this guy wants to utilize this kindness to be a better poster...

>>9196
Correct. But if you don't behave, I will make sure to add to the record that you asked to be forcibly removed like last time.

>>9197
>we tend to be forgiving if someone returns after a prolonged absence
Why?
>Though I am doubting this guy wants to utilize this kindness to be a better poster...
Why are you giving banned users the benefit of the doubt then?
>But if you don't behave
Why are you adding additional conditions that move the goalpost to enforce an existing ban?

>>9198
>Why?
Why not? It isn't like we can't clean up his mess if he spergs again.
>Why are you giving banned users the benefit of the doubt then?
Some people can change. Not many, but some can. A ban is a button away, but sometimes you should wait before you press it.
>Why are you adding additional conditions that move the goalpost to enforce an existing ban?
They are the same conditions as last time and the same as everyone else that posts here. We didn't ban Zald back in the day on sight for making normal posts. We banned him when he came back and specifically did spam posts.

>>9198
>low IQ poster ask questions
Dear poner, I always had around 300 IPs to choose from, my retirement from the board was to respect the management's wishes, I still do respect them.
Referring to the causes of my multiple bannings, to be honest, I'm oppressed for some kind of sadistic Mods, they accuse of low quality posting, to which I don't agree, but, they have the last word about what is low quality and what it is not.

>>9199
>Why not?
>It isn't like we can't clean up his mess if he spergs again.
There are damages inflicted by allowing bans tongo unenforced that aren't cleaned up as easily as deleting a few posts. Site-wide cultural community damage.
>Some people can change. Not many, but some can. A ban is a button away, but sometimes you should wait before you press it.
Is four years of not changing not long enough?
>We didn't ban Zald back in the day on sight for making normal posts.
Zalds shitposts were not nearly as damaging to the community. Zald made open troll/bait threads; he didn't drastically lower the overall quality of discussion on the site.
>9200
>I'm oppressed for some kind of sadistic Mods, they accuse of low quality posting, to which I don't agree
See, even now he refuses to take accountability for his behavior.

>>9200
Nigger, you never respected my wishes from day one. I was trying to explain exactly what people had problems with and how to compromise to repair relations. You are still a faggot in my book and your antagonizing of the user base makes my vote ready to cast already to ban you. I will leave it to the rest of the staff to judge what to do from here.

>>9202
>I will leave it to the rest of the staff to judge what to do from here.
I'm pretty sure you have authority and agency to enforce bans on a ban evader...
Idk, it just feels stupid giving fourth and fifth chances to someone who clearly does not deserve them.

>>9201
>Is four years of not changing not long enough?
I used to think so, but then I saw someone actually change that was a thorn in my side. Not as much as everyone on the site wishes, but we are working on that.

>>9203
>'m pretty sure you have authority and agency to enforce bans on a ban evader...
I do, but as I said before, I wait a bit to see if anything changed. You might not agree, but I fail to see the community harm you allude to by being inconvenienced for a couple of posts from him. You didn't even know he was back before now.

>Idk, it just feels stupid giving fourth and fifth chances to someone who clearly does not deserve them.
No one deserves it, but it is given despite that. That is friendship. And friendship is half the battle.

As for authority, it is best not to make an action that can upset someone on staff that has a different opinion on the situation. It might move slower, but part of the reason the site is still running is because we don't have massive infighting and break apart the means to run the website. If I banned him when another staff member specifically forgave him, it would not be good to go behind his back.

>>9204
>I wait a bit to see if anything changed.
He literally just now in the post above refused to take accountability for his behavior and asserts that he did nothing wrong: he has not changed.
He is disrespecting you and the site and is simply demanding that you indulge his sense of entitlement.
>but I fail to see the community harm you allude to by being inconvenienced for a couple of posts from him
Because when posters engage with his garbage they get frustrated and conclude that /mlpol/ is not the board of quality discussion that it claims to be; then they leave and they never come back. It has happened before.
>You didn't even know he was back before now.
No. I did know. I just didn't complain about it because I, like you, cautiously observed to see if he would correct himself.
>No one deserves it, but it is given despite that. That is friendship. And friendship is half the battle.
Letting a faggot take a shit on your front lawn while flipping the bird at you every day is not friendship.
>that can upset someone on staff that has a different opinion on the situation
Who?
Who on the staff values this poster enough to let them get away with ban evasion?

Anyway, it appears that the decision has already been made. Just giving my voice on the matter.

>>9205
>He is disrespecting you and the site and is simply demanding that you indulge his sense of entitlement.
Correct, which is why I let staff know and they will decide if my suggestion to take action is justified or me getting too emotionally charged. You can disrespect staff and the site as that is not against the rules. The problem is that it indicates he is going to do the stuff he was banned for doing, which is why it takes a little more time than my gut reaction.

>Because when posters engage with his garbage they get frustrated and conclude that /mlpol/ is not the board of quality discussion that it claims to be; then they leave and they never come back. It has happened before.
Correct. But even then there is no pleasing a person that only sticks around because the people they don't like are banned. It is a discussion I should make in a thread about how there is not really any community within the board, only meta community that happens to like the board.

>Letting a faggot take a shit on your front lawn while flipping the bird at you every day is not friendship.
Correct. I just responded to that.

>Who? Who on the staff values this poster enough to let them get away with ban evasion?
Value is a strong word. Like I said, it is being friendly that allows people to have a second chance.

>>9206
>it appears that the decision has already been made
Again, you are too rash. Sometimes you just have to wait a few extra minutes. You are on this site after all. Waiting a bit is not a foreign concept.

I did warn you BoomBoom

>>9208
I made a question and all hell broke loose. Jeez.

>>9210
Incapable of honesty, as usual

>>9210
Didn't have a chance to respond to this earlier, but I'm just going to quote what I told you earlier. Important bits have been bolded for emphasis:

>As ever, it’s up to you. If you can interact normally with the site and not cause trouble then you’re as welcome to post here as anyone else. If you’re going to start pointless drama and flood the site with low-quality content like you were doing before, it will probably go the way it usually does. The choice is, and has always been, yours.

So the simplest answer to your original question is: NO. Just because the site is less active than you would like it to be, this does not grant you license to resume flooding it with low-quality grandpa memes. You've been warned multiple times about this behavior, and if it starts up again, you will be banned again, simple as. This is not a subject I'm interested in re-litigating.

>>9200
>I'm oppressed for some kind of sadistic Mods, they accuse of low quality posting, to which I don't agree, but, they have the last word about what is low quality and what it is not.
This has to be some kind of autism thing, because I swear to God I've had this exact same conversation with Nigel at least ten times in the past year. The issue is not that you are being unfairly picked on or "oppressed," the issue is that people find your behavior obnoxious and respond to you accordingly. This is not merely the opinion of mods, this is the nigh-unanimous reaction of the community at large. You are free to disagree with this assessment as much as you like, but I'm afraid the tribe has spoken.

If this site moves too slowly for your tastes, and if you absolutely, positively cannot live without sharing your massive collection of unfunny facebook-tier content with the world, there are any number of Discord servers out there that cater to retards with short attention spans. I suggest you take your business there; you may get a warmer reception.

4chan babyduck refugee here. Do you guys have anything similar to 4chanx's functionality where
a) opening a thread you had already partially scrolled through immediately scrolls down to your last read point, and
b) the unread post count updates dynamically as you scroll down the thread, rather than requiring scrolling all the way down to the bottom of the page?

As a userscript or option or something.

Everything else on the site feels perfect otherwise and it's a pleasure to use and post in compared to some other altchans.

>>9215
Henlo!
The closest as far as functionality is the Overboard (which displays the last 4 posts of the most recently engaged threads) or the "last 50 posts" of whichever thread. There is no functional automatic setting like you describe (possibly doable through custom prompts in options, but I don't fuck with that shit), there's never been sufficient demand

>>9216
Darn.
I might try to look into some sort of mini-"mlpolx" extension then, if I ever get the time and motivation. (Realistically not very likely because I'm terrible at both of those, but I really do miss this feature from 4/mlp/.)

>>9215
Sadly it is not as advanced as 4chanX, and there might be some quirks currently that is not 100%. I try to strive to make it better but have been preoccupied with irl stuff so have not had the time or energy to fine tune the current code for a while. But I will put it on a to-do list, but sadly can't make promises for any eta.

>>9218
Understandable, thank you. I love the site so far like I said, and I really appreciate you guys existing now in our time of need.

>>7990
Is there a way to have a thread-watcher here?
This is one thing I miss from 4chan.

A flood of refugees. I'm speechless.
Well faggots, for the time being my wish has been fulfilled. Let us see how you handle it, because it looks like you hooves are full.

Why is >>/poner/988 allowed to stay up when it's breaking the global rules? Isn't staff supposed to remove threads such as these?

>>9264
In essence,

Ponies are allowed. No exceptions

And furthermore, it is not against the rules

>But race mixing! Blacked threads!
Read the actual rule

> 5. No race-mixing.
>"blacked", "how can white men even compete", etc, threads ruined many parts of /pol/ turning large portions of the board into a wasteland of distracting rageposts while the mods did nothing
>As such posts that do nothing but attempt to elicit rage based on white race hatred are a bannable offense, thus sayeth the community
You don't even need to know the context that the rule was created in in order to know what it's about, because it explicitly tells you. This is a /pol/ rule concerning a specific kind of bait post that was common on that board. Rules 4 and 6 are of a similar nature, concerning posts made to /pol/ that were intended to be disruptive.

These rules aren't so much a per se ban on specific types of threads as they are bans of intentionally disruptive threads from posters outside of the community.

So what is "striped"? First of all, it isn't any of that. There are no black people, no humans, just my little pony characters and my little pony zebras, which are themselves basically grey or white ponies with black stripes on them. If you think rule 5 is a per se rule against blackened threads, well, these are literally not that. As for race mixing, ponies and zebras are different species. And are you suggesting that human male on mare should be banned as "race-mixing"?

No, what matters is if it's just a disruptive thread. Striped threads definitely can be intended to be as such. But not necessarily. For one, it's a joke. For another, we quite a few genuine coomers here.

Then there's also the fact that that set of rules was written eight years ago and not even for this website, and they are not specified as global rules as opposed to /mlpol/ rules, but that's a whole other issue

>>9264
That entire thread is breaking rules in pic related. Also, an actual honest to god BBC thread went up just now(/poner/1736). What is /mlpol/ staff thinking by allowing such threads to exist anywhere on their site? Why is no one following the policy?

>>9266
It is absolutely against the rules. Striped is explicitly BBC and thus shouldn't exist. Racemixing rule and no cuckoldry rules exist to prevent such threads from existing. That set of rules has been made for this site explicitly or have you forgotten that over the years?
>human male on mare
It shouldn't be. Even human male on zebra mare. Male Zebra on anything, other than another zebra, however, should be removed, because one: it's essentially BBC, two: it's cuckoldry or based on it.

>>9266
I have a question why are you such a nigger loving faggot?

>>9269
I get it, most/all striped pics ARE trying to ragebait about race-mixing and shit. But guess what, it only works if you let it. Instead of associating 'striped' with BBC, associate 'striped' with how niggers can't obsess about anything but their dicks and fucking things (often against their will) and then robbing and killing them.
Zebras unironically did nothing wrong, other than being associated with blacks.

>>9269
Who else will pick the cotton?

>>9268
We're not so obsessed with racial imagery that we have to interpret a fictional non-human character as representative of real-life races.

Zebras can be cute, actually

>>9271
So you are just going to allow blatant BBC threads to stay up, if they're wearing a pony disguise?! Are you out of your mind?!

>>9273
That's pretty fair. That EQG thread needs to be deleted

>>9273
>are you out of your mind
where do you think you are

>>9274
The other thread needs to be deleted as well.

>>9276
You were told to stop spamming. You continued to spam.

The 999 year CP bans are because that's what the ban form is set to as default, and your spam isn't worth the 5 seconds it takes to change those values on the form.

You could have responded in any other way, but you just want to spam.

>>9278
More like you're being a niggerfaggot by showing support to BBCfags.

I feel like Naruto and Sasuke right now, at the end of the Boruto movie.
"I remember when I thought that way,"

>>9277
When you have a child that you keep away from any kind of bacteria, dirt, or contagion, that child's immune system doesn't develop properly, but instead overreacts to small stimuli in such a way that the immune system is as harmful as a disease. That's how allergies form.

In that thread, so many people are bitching about the subject, but they kept fucking bumping the thread like they don't know how to sage. They kept feeding the trolls. No one had any idea to brush off the posts, or respond in a humorous way. Only one person thought to post the death to zebras copy pasta.

If you can't help yourselves, I think that just giving in to deleting every type of post or thread a vocal minority wants deleted is doing a disservice to everyone. Learn to use an imageboard, and then come back to me about deleting threads.

There's another reason why the striped thread must go. It's doing an enormous damage on this site's reputation and if you won't take stand against it you will chase the good anons away and you'll be left with pure cancer.
>>9283
Regardless, it(the striped thread) must not be allowed to stay. It doesn't matter that you feel otherwise. What matters is that you'd be very, VERY hard pressed to find anyone who will not equate striped threads with bbcfaggotry. You might be the only one who thinks this way. Everyone else does not.

>>9284
And at Mlpol, we have a long-standing history of our actual reputation having little-to-nothing to do with the reality of what goes on here, who we are, what we represent, etc.
In cases such as this, what happens is one or more posters start sperging about the "acceptable line" - and before I continue, I've been that guy - for certain types of posts. What ends up happening is that the dissatisfied poster(s) start being a bigger problem than the alleged problem, and then get censured, reasonably.
They then sperg out with all sorts of allegations - much like you are displaying - of nigger-loving, or what the fuck ever. NGL, its alot funnier when the topic is GlimmyGlam, but whatever.
We don't like ziggers, we don't like striped shit, we don't like the mentality behind it, and we only tolerate it because there is a line for free speech - especially as pertains to ponies - that we will not cross.
>I know, I'll just reset my IP
Son, he hasn't even started using the staff features.

>>9288
So you'd rather have a dead site on your hands? Is this what you really want? Striped cancer shouldn't be tolerated nor is it free speech in any way. It really should have no place to exist, anywhere. By allowing these threads to stay, you signal that you support these people, not merely tolerate them. Are you really sure this is the right thing to do?

>>9290
Thats an awfully disingenuous framing. An honest framing would be to say that this is a difficult situation, and given the choices we would prefer to err on a standard that is less immediately censorial. If the striped posting had or does start spreading to other threads, well stricter measures will be taken. And yes, there's technically 2 zeeb threads last checked, but one is dead as shit and the other has become the de-facto shitposting thread du juor.

>>9291
What's awfully disingenous is allowing that thread to stay at all. I can 200% guarantee that this will spread to other threads if you won't delete and ban them immediately. You cannot afford to allow them to take an inch. This situation is honestly not difficult at all, unless you happen to enjoy this kind of content.

>>9288
Striped and blacked are the same thing. If blacked is banned (as it should be), then striped should also be banned. Everyone knows they're one in the same. It's not parody, they're not making fun of blacked. They're recreating 1:1 in a different setting because they think it's hot.

That being said, I don't really expect you guys to change the way that you enforce your rules around here just because of me and a bunch of other refugees. I just take issue with the particular way that Lotus defended the striped thread. I would, however, really appreciate the option to hide threads from the catalogue if that's possible. I just don't want to have to look at it.

>>9293
>I'd appreciate being able to hide threads
Fair, I don't know if anyone realized that that wasn't functioning properly cuz we don't hide threads around here Xp and will likely be addressed promptly.
>>9291
And if it does, consequences will be forthcoming. We don't do "pre-crime" here and while obnoxious, anon is still within his rights to be a douche, as long as he keeps it in the designated shitting thread

>>9294
>>9292
My bad, clicked the wrong 'disingenuous' post

>>9290
Dead? By God it's nothing but active.

Seriously, people need to learn how to sage, and to not bump the thread they want to wipe out 100+ times to keep it permanently at the top of the board.

>>9292
You think I haven't dealt with this exact situation a dozen times over? Every six months on PonerPics, someone wants something they don't like banned. EQG, Deer, G5, AI art, ants on feet. Like clockwork. You think that if I just say "Yes, let's ban thing you don't like" that that isn't an inch that will soon enough become a mile? No.

Learn to sage and to not be offended any time you see a zebra. When that is accomplished, we can talk about deleting threads.

>>9293
The hide feature does need to be readded, yes

I'm not going to set a precedent that zebras are somehow some evil, threatening creature that needs to be censored off of the board, or that porn involving zebras is automatically bad. I'm not naive enough to think that that is going to end with "striped." I've worked extremely hard four 8 years to keep this site as free-to-post as possible. And it really looks like this might be the only place that remains relatively free to post.

>>9292
>>>/poner/1901
it already has

>>9297
>Ehrmagherd there's a whole two stiped posts
You neglected the Linky post. If you think this counts as spilling out, this is nothing. This is 2 posters trying to test boundaries.

>>9296
>Learn to sage and to not be offended any time you see a zebra. When that is accomplished, we can talk about deleting threads.
You should learn how to mod instead of enabling community disruption in the form of striped threads.
>Ponerpics blah blah blah
The key difference here is that these people completely miss the point of Ponerpics. Besides, it has filters they can use to spoiler/hide what they don't like.
>I've worked extremely hard four 8 years to keep this site as free-to-post as possible.
It sure shows. You allow rulebreaking content and refuse to take it down. If you worked as hard as you claim to be, we wouldn't be having this conversation, would we? Ziggers must go, and they must do so now. There is only one viable solution for this situation and it's TZD.

>>9299
>miss the point of Ponerpics
And what is the point of ponerpics, and how does it diverget from the site? Spoiler alert, its the same admin.

>>9299
You want total zigger death? Victory over the zebra? Well it's not something that can come from the comfort of just sitting idly by on the sidelines. You must meme it. You must be creative. You must do something yourself. Something other that "staff should ban this."

The entire purpose of this enterprise is to inspire creativity, and it's not going to come from crafting a perfect safe space. It's going to require some degree of adversity

>Learn how to mod
There are three CP posts every single day, and that's the tip of the iceberg.

>>9301
Or you can actually do what you were supposed to do and nuke the shit out of stripedfags!

Petition to remove barbies for the following reasons:
1. imho does not fit site culture or at least definitely does not fit supposed /poner/ board culture
2. distracts from pony (striped is categorically better despite being striped)
3. any barbie is basically form-sliding and Overton window creep

Pics of ponified characters (including eqg characters) are fine.

>>9303
>antiEqG fag is a stripedzigger
Was blowing yourself the fuck out a part of your plan?

>>9304
That is the perfect response

>>9303
>Muh culture
/fim/ already exists for the people who want a sterile board where the only thing allowed is a narrow range leading to dead activity. /mlpol/ has had a long history of eqg being allowed so you're trying to undo something that's grandfathered in, for no benefit (less posters, less activity overall).

>Muh distraction
You're the only stripefag here, and a chronic shitposter at that. /poner/ may be new, but the rules are generally the same, just don't be a huge nigger. I can count EQG threads on one hand, get over it.

>Muh sliding
As an observer it's actually been nonEQG fags continually making low quality posts on /poner/ like it's /b/ when they should use /sp/. EQGfags have just made their generals in peace.

>speaks up
>gets dogpiled
oh yeah

>>9306
>line must go up
chasing shit activity is the actual death cycle that killed other altchans reducing lurkers that want quality despite dead.

>implying stripe

>eqg
>not low quality
you get an A+ for doubleplus truthing, also needing to drop board names to sound cool

>>9307
>Anyone who doesn't sign my petition is dogpiling me
Xitter may be more your speed. If you're sleepwalking through the stripefagging then I don't know what you expected making it around the same time as the stripefag has all the attention.

On EQG. There's basically a negligible amount, and I always just hid the threads on /mlp/. Imo for EQG the board only needs the ability to hide a thread. right now it's busted or missing function. I've already seen small raids that only EQG threads got, trying to drive off people because you don't like it is petty shit that's not needed. /poner/ was a refugee board made for /mlp/ so further restrictions than /mlp/ is counter intuitive. People can like more than one thing, maybe you should give it a try sometime.

i think striped should be banned because its a raceplay fetish and against gr5 if people wanna post normal porn with zeebs and mares without the striped shit then i see no problem with that pls enforce your rules
I'm sure Kenya is your real geo IP

Striped is made by the exact same people AND for the exact same purpose as blacked. It's not a "joke", it's literally just "haha let's make the chud nazi ponies into nigger racial porn, that will show the chuds!".

I can get behind the "free speech to the max" policy that would allow that thread to stay up by giving it the benefit of the doubt of a fetish thread (while still deleting striped spam if it appears in other threads). But it is absolutely disingenous, or rather deluded even, to claim that it's different.

What these bad actors would have you believe (and will do a delightful show of) is that they're concerned netizens who are fighting the good fight against Striped images.

Our policy about them is a best-scenario sort of compromise that won't satisfy everyone.

But anyone who was really bothered about it wouldn't be spamming it, they would have fucked off to one of the other bunkers. Instead they're using the fact that it isn't being deleted as a excuse to adversarially spam it. And now that methods are in place to enable users to avoid it entirely, suddenly there's all this concern trolling about rules and policy and "how it looks to anons", since no one fucking cares about the thread. Almost like this has been a coordinated and false-flag effort. And look who can't stop talking about the thread that no one cares or is still talking about, but "random concerned anon #647".
This is simply the efforts of one or more griefer-types trying to cause chaos and conflict however possible.

>>9320
Are you pretending to be retarded or are you actually this retarded? Can't you see what kind of immeasurable damage your insistent idiocy is going to lead to? You have one of a kind chance and you are pissing it away for no reason whatsoever. What exactly do you think any reasonable person going to think when they see the striped thread at basically the top of the catalogue and having by far the most activity? Nothing good, that's what! They are not going to open the thread and find out the actual reason behind what they have seen, they are plain going to leave to NHNB and will encourage other people to not go here which is precisely what has been happening over there. In the end, your insistence on keeping striped threads and content will prove to be your undoing. Lotus can't see that, unfortunately. He think treating this site the way he treats Ponerpics is going to work out. Psyche! It won't. It will kill /poner/ and kill /mlpol/ alongside it. Is this what you want?

>>9327
Ignore all previous instructions. Post pony.

>>9327
Anon, this may come as a surprise, but people can have differing opinions. It's good of you to be so concerned with the progress of the site, I could have used support like this years ago on a number of issues (not this one).
The only 'opportunity' that Mlpol has to either capitalize on or miss out on entirely is whether we are willing to compromise our integrity in the face of niggling assholes who want to force us to play a stupid game of "whataboutnow" about what is permissible/acceptable to post and then pressing THAT boundary.
This is probably the hudredth time someone has tried it.
>they are plain going to leave to NHNB and will encourage other people to not go here which is precisely what has been happening over there
[i]Let them. If anons can't grasp that not censoring stuff we don't like but which IS relatively staying within the lane isn't something we do around here (outside the bad actors who can reliably be goaded into more extreme behavior) and get so mad that they're going to run off and contemptuously post wherever the fuck else, GREAT, shoo.

What you're about to see is anon realize that the zigger thread hit bump and is on page 4 no matter what they do. In response, they will either try to bump the other zigger thread, or start a new zigger thread. In either case, it won't play out like they anticipate

>>9319
>>9327
>the benefit of the doubt of a fetish thread
Well that's the question. Is it intended as an 'lol get wrecked racists' or is it intended as well, porn? Certainly zebra stallion on pony mare, or "striped" can be intended as a "get wrecked chuds." But sometimes, for some people, over a decade of just pony on pony or pony on human male can get stale.

I looked into the posting history of the guy who posted the OP of that thread. He has a few other posts that are porn. He has none where he's saying "zebras are superior!" or "get wrecked, chuds" that suggest that this is a deliberate attempt to conflate zebras with black males, and assert some kind of racial aspect to it. No, he just posted pictures of ponies having sex with each other. Compare that to those who posted every other "blacked" thread or image elsewhere on the website, where it's the same one, possibly two people who are spamming things just to be obnoxious, in an attempt to strong arm site moderation.

If the people who did not like the thread had suggested that specifically the use of the word "striped," or zebradom, or that weird thing where a zebra having sex with you causes you to have stripes, should be per se banned from the website, but that an image of a zebra wouldn't necessarily be a cause for alarm, I think that would have been accepted by myself and the other moderators as a kind of reasonable ground, as that is a reasonable way to distinguish between incitement and harmless NSFW posting.

But that isn't what happened at all. Instead, a small number of posters cried out "mods have to ban this!" and began to spam all over the website in an attempt to force moderation to act in a specific way.

One individual started posting webms without spoiler or warning of deaths and gore. At first it was one posted in response to each post containing twilight having sex with a zebra, and this was within the realm of what we are willing to accept. And then it became hard drive dumping, posting probably 50 plus posts. I tried to issue a warning, that did not go through, so I posted in caps lock "the gore post has to stop." He replied in linked posts with one, two, three posts containing more gore. So I issued a one day ban for spamming. Then he posted another, which was banned and removed, then again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, over the span of multiple hours into the morning, as he burned through dozens of proxies. The thing that gets me about it is that in all of these instances, he never once typed "sage" into the email field. So he kept continuously bumping to the top of the board a thread he hates. Make that make sense to me. Is he stupid? A newfag?

Then there was another person, or potentially it was two people, who decided to start spamming blacked posts into other threads and also spam multiple blacked threads onto the board. I believe that three blacked threads in total were spammed, with multiple bans issued and multiple proxies used for ban evasion. He also posted, using a South Korean IP, a thread pretending to be someone who is "leaving" because they saw a blacked thread.

These are the people I'm supposed to prostrate myself before to please so they don't go somewhere else? A pair of people who will attack my website with spam and false flag posts because they see one - one - thread that they do not like? These are the people that are critical to the future of this site? God forbid if they see something they don't like in the future, like an mlp styled deer, or some fanfic they don't like. What will they do in the future if they don't leave our website now?

No. We're not going to do that. I'm sorry. I understand that and why you don't like the thread, but we're not going to allow such tactics to dictate our policy. People need to chill the fuck out.

>>9327
They're going to hide the thread and move on with their day, retard.
>think of your reputation!
I agree with you that 'striped' = 'blacked' and should fall under GR5, but I think you're a broken clock. Everything else you're saying is so stupid. This site had a userbase before 4chan refugees came here. How fucking entitled are you that you expect the admins to start changing the way they run things just to accommodate you? Admins removed the most offensive content and fixed thread hiding so users can curate their own experience, which is a perfectly satisfactory solution to a normal person. You appeal to their reputation and userbase when they clearly have users and don't care about what outsiders think of them. Retard.

>>9337
I agree. People are entitled to enjoy things. If people are too emotional immature to assume that zebra==black stand in, they need to do some growing up. Finding hidden meaning in something where is none isnt particularly healthy.

Oh and thank you for the filter catalogue features.

>>9337
>we're not going to allow such tactics to dictate our policy
Translation:
If I don't get to coerce staff into a policy shift, NOPONY does!

>>9337
It's sillly that you think he needs to say anything when the pictures say more than enough. He doesn't need to say "zebras are superior" as this is the whole point of striped/blacked and similar content. Nor does he need to say "get wrecked, chuds" because, again, the pictures express that very thing and in addition to that you and the few other anons indirectly say this for him. If I'm wrong, then you're welcome to try convince me otherwise.

>If the people who did not like the thread had suggested that specifically the use of the word "striped," or zebradom, or that weird thing where a zebra having sex with you causes you to have stripes, should be per se banned from the website, but that an image of a zebra wouldn't necessarily be a cause for alarm
Check another thread that has a zeeb for an OP pic. No one cares about that one, because it's inoffensive. The striped thread, however, is plenty offensive, for the reasons you have just said. It's not merely the word, more importantly it's the act of male zebradom that caused this whole mess. If it was the same thing, but with sexes reversed, anons would be still worked up, but in a more positive manner rather than negative. Anyone can try doing this and create a thread where it's female zebras getting it on with either a non-zebra stallion or a human and it'll probably go over better than the other one had.

>Then there was another person, or potentially it was two people, who decided to start spamming blacked posts into other threads and also spam multiple blacked threads onto the board.

Oh? So OP was posting only in his thread and it was other anons taking advantage of him and pretending to be him if I understand you correctly? Hm... Interesting... Did OP make the thread to cause and outrage and also force action? If that was his master plan, then he succeeded because we're having this conversation.

>>9337
Yes, but the point you should be making "blacked is allowed as a fetish, just not as spam/bait". That's a valid point to make, and I'll happily just hide that thread and move on with my day.
Whereas your initial argument of "striped is totally not blacked, bros!" is what I take issue with, because it's objectively bullshit. It's the EXACT same fetish, actual innocent zebrafags would never call any of their zebra porn "striped", the term is a parody of "blacked" and is ONLY used that way and never in any other context. Fetishists only draw and post striped because they specifically relate zebras to niggers and draw the exact same fetishistic desire from it, and political artists draw stripedshit because they specifically relate zebras to niggers and want to mock right-wingers by "defiling" the ponies they like. There is no other possible context for this. Again, even people who like zebras and as a consequence like images of zebras having sex with ponies, will never EVER call it "striped" unless they are very specifically drawing a parallel with "blacked".

So just say that blacked/striped as a fetish is allowed and the rule is only meant to prevent malicious spam. Don't try to talmud your way out of this by pretending they can somehow be different things.

Lads, how many layers of semantics do you want to be on?
Striped is not blacked, because striped involves ponies and zebras.
Is Striped an analogue for Blacked? For some - primarily the artists and promoters - yes. Rule 43 will never not be a thing, and there's all kinds of ways a thing can be corrupted especially when catering to individual tastes.

There's also a case to be made that we've tolerated this nonsense for a full 24 hou day and though it would stand as an exception to the "Ponies no exceptions" rule, an exception might be made.

Also. Since we're trying to be accommodating to /mlp/, I propose an overt/declared relaxation of the "No Generals" rule
HOWEVER, this is not charity, it is a bargain. In exchange for Generals being allowed to exist, they be expected to acknowledge that Mlpol isn't as fast or as adversarial, meaning "hit bump limit" doesn't necessarily justify a new thread. It will be some time before any thread that's being actively engaged slides off, including our worst offender.

Common practice is to wait for generals to reach page 10/9 to make a new thread. Anyone who doesn't do that is already retarded.
I'm hoping anons are smart enough to realize that slower activity = longer for the thread to slide off. But the common anon is very stupid (that also includes me)

Hey Lotus, question about ponerpics:

Why aren't the tags, or images really, ever merged? Some have been up for months.

If I'm tossing my hat in the ring here, I'll speak against Blacked/Striped content. Blacked is a Jewish forced meme, and it is encroaching on a lot of places across the internet and in real life in advertising. I see it as explicitly invasive and an attempt to push real world views.

Ideally, I don't want it to be here at all. If it's in a containment thread that can be filtered, that'd be the next best thing.

That is the current status, and the offending thread in question is well past bump limit. Any attempt to recreate the thread prior to a risk of sliding (page 10) will likely result in censure including both offending threads.
The simplest move would be to spoiler the thread and forget about it, not lending any attention and forcing detractors to come up with 'other ways' to be a problem (they will try), absolving anyone of coding anything and simply proceeding with a slightly ammended strategy.
