Basically it means a return to the Fasces' reign, banning everyone you don't like and /mlpol/ reduced to 12/20 posts every 24 hours.
Very clever of you. /s

>>8803
>return to the Fasces' reign
What does that even mean? He's been an mod for like 6 years now, and never stopped. What is there to return to?
>banning everyone you don't like
That is not what he said.
>/mlpol/ reduced to 12/20 posts every 24 hours.
That's a normal rate for us.

The reddit-speech is how I can tell you're a newfag. Lurk moar.

More redditspeech. Lurk moar.
I've been using chansites for the past 15 years, and /mlpol/ for half of that, and I know that nobody on IBs use fucking "/s" to indicate sarcasm.

>>8808
I do.

>>8803
I mean you could lurk more faggot because you're not living in reality.
>wow suggesting a rule that would mean I can't ignore everybody else in my online community simulator how awful
>there's this secret janny closet and they hunt me down with soap and sponges
See if you lurked right and proper anons wouldn't immediately know you're a fag.
Instead it's known because surprisingly many people who use this site have a pretty damn good memory retention and pattern recognition.
There's no lists, no secret janny alerts, no secret user alerts, just raw autism and noticing things.
I wanted you to be part of the community. Since then you've stuck yourself on your hill burnt nearly every bridge and hand that extends to you.
Regular shitposting so you get a clue hasn't worked. Talking like people hasn't worked. Assuming shit and talking aeound the bush didn't work.
Every means of communication has failed.
So an escalating rule. The punishment lurk moar fagget.

>Oh but I want the whole community to follow my vision of me doing 99.99999999% of the posts every week
Nobody wants you alone posting 7 gorilion posts every day.
Alot of people are sick and tired of the garbage tier posts made, even when they're tangentially almost on topic.
You aren't cultured, you're still from whatever shithole websites you've came from.

>>8801
You know what I expect from the implantation of the Lurk Moar Fagget rule.
<Told to lurk more. Warning.
<After that whatever shitpost or unusual imageboard stuff.
As in just no-holds full shitposting autism allowed.
<Temp Bans of increasing amounts repeated.
Just continually increasing till it's practically a perma-ban.
Because hopefully in the best case they've LURKED and Learned.
In any case the users and staff have another tool.
>>8805
It means perma-banning nigel. If I wasn't clear.

>>8801
>It boils down to they don't lurk as in there is no assimilation to our imageboard culture.
I think this is one of the vulnerabilities we've unwittingly created for ourselves. /pol/ itself has always been vulnerable to newfags, because newfags refuse to lurk since they want to participate in current events as soon as it starts. For /mlpol/, it's a combination of that and the fact that as the board ran into slower times in the first half of its existence some Anons got a bit too desperate for new users and started accepting newfags without expecting them to lurk, as well as the fact that we were a new board and thus everyone was a "newfag". At first, it wasn't that bad because the new posters generally came from 4chan, but as the site lived on it became evident that some of the newfags had never used 4chan in their lives, and they brought their off-site habits with them to the board.
/mlpol/ was supposed to be a bastion of old imageboard culture, free of the reddit/Twitter/Facebook sewage that infested the parent boards, but lately it feels like it hasn't been living up to that.

>>8810
>perma-ban
Nigger, you are delusional. This is not your exclusive playground and there is enough boards to and threads to contain even the anons you don't like.
Would you like to retreat to your writefag safe-space breads and leave the rest alone?

>>8812

>>8803
Boom Boom. Nigga. Nobody liked your shitty republican-grandpa memes. It's time to move on.

Then go, your writefag bread is waiting for you. Anons are waiting for you.

This. It's shouldn't be that hard.
>Nobody wants you alone posting 7 gorilion posts every day.
>Alot of people are sick and tired of the garbage tier posts made, even when they're tangentially almost on topic.
This. Garbage posters that produce no engagement, or worse, only produce negative engagement flaming about how garbage they are, are worse than having no posts at all. That kind of crap suffocates quality content, drives off content creators, distracts users, wastes time, and overall lowers the quality of the board.

This seems like a reasonable implementation. I'd prefer a more heavy-handed approach, but that's just my opinion.

So much quality that even when everypony was banned the best you faggots where posting was Hi Anon threads.

Again with the redditspeech.
Why can't you learn? Why can't you assimilate imageboard culture like the rest of us? Why didn't you lurk?
>everypony was banned
Who is "everypony"? When did this supposed mass-banning take place? How many posters were banned, and over what?
>>8815
Oh yeah, Anons are waiting for the quality content creator who makes interesting posts that improve the quality of the board. Maybe you should take some tips from him.

>>8820
>What the absolute fuck are you talking about.
What I said at >>>/mlpol/372469 →

All of you are smart enough to know that when the precedent by one act, it will be done again. That's why having reasonably clear and articulated standards is essential.

I'm not a fan of phrasing the rule as if the problem is newfaggotry. That is not the problem, and we want newfags.

To me, the most common attribute of excessive faggotry is making everything personal. Too many first-person pronouns in their posts, and too many personal attacks of other posters. I don't mean blog posting. Blog posting doesn't bother me. It's haughtiness, followed by a string of ad hominin attacks that's disruptive and completely shits up threads

>>8824
Another common feature would be schizo-posting; by which I mean a general disconnection with reality

>>8822
>The only one who's acting like he owns the place is (You).
Once you came to /mlpol/ "You will never leave"
Remember that?
>Again with the redditspeech.
Whatever. I do use /s and I will continue using it. Nothing extraordinary here.

>>8824
>That's why having reasonably clear and articulated standards is essential.
See >>8810 has already proposed a standard of implementation.
>we want newfags
We want good posters. We want posters who respect imageboard culture for what it's been for years, and don't dick up the place with reddit/Facebook/Twitter sewage. We want posters who either lurked on 4pol and /mlp/ before posting and assimilate the culture, or lurk here to assimilate before posting. That's why this site exists.

Agreed.
>>8826

You're missing the point of the post entirely.
>Whatever. I do use /s and I will continue using it.
It's exactly this attitude is why none of the other posters like you. Your insistence on doubling down and continuing to shit-up the board with your off-site tourist habits, instead of learning imageboard culture like the rest of us.

>>8827

Well, I'm so sorry you are taking it that way. But an inflexible mindset is synonymous of autism. Did you know it?

>>8828
>complaining about autism on the Mongolian horsewhispering forum
Lurk moar fagget
We have customs. We have culture. We have standards that we live by. Maybe bother to learn them if you want to play here.

>>8827
>See >>8810 has already proposed a standard of implementation.
In terms of how it would be implemented, yes, the system of incremental warnings and bans mentioned there is the best way to go about it, I think.

But I want to articulate the behavior in such a way that the next time it's applied, there is some standard to point to, and say "this is acceptable and this isn't"

>>8820
>everypony was banned
>everypony
>implying there were multiple copies of him
This is part of his routine. He wants people to believe that there are multiple anons posting shitty faceberg memes in his meme-dump threads in an effort to astroturf actual demand for the shitty content he posts. If you go through his threads, you can actually observe instances of him replying to himself in order to fake thread engagement. He's even been called out on it multiple times and he still does it. He is literally that autistic.

>>8824
>>8825
I understand what you're saying for clarity.
The ideal is that newfags (and all lasting visitors) become oldfags.
At least try to reach being an oldfag.
Not pushing this place to become like other places.
It's to prevent hyper-nu-cancer from inching in.
Putting into words what defines an outsider that is actively rejecting calls to party.

>>8829
>Maybe bother to learn them if you want to play here.
Too fuzzy and subject to arbitrary interpretation.

>>8831
>This is part of his routine. He wants people to believe that there are multiple anons posting shitty faceberg memes
Incorrect. The anons banned were arguing in threats I was not participating.

>>8833
>Incorrect. The anons banned were arguing in threats I was not participating.
Do you have any actual threads or posts you would like to cite, or are you just going to keep making vague accusations all day? The only person I remember getting banned over the endless stream of sewage posted in your faceberg threads was you.

>>8830
>articulate the behavior
Underlying expanding from a shared culture to a list.
That's pretty hard, but let's give it a shot.
Going to type some stuff out and think a bit.

>>8835
>>8832
Basically, I think we need to define what a "newfag" is, what an "oldfag" is, and what "hyper-nu-cancer" is

As stated before, to me, the most common symptom of posting-I-don't-like is a rejection of anonymity for a strong assertion of self-identity. Not just any rejection of anonymity - "Business Dog" does not bother me. It's bad when the assertion of self-identity is arrogant and superior. And especially, when there is an attempt by the one asserting a superior self-identity to drag anonymous users out of their anonymity, and give them some undesired identity. And then further to derail discussion with personal attacks and personal self-aggrandizement.

>>8834
>Do you have any actual threads or posts you would like to cite, or are you just going to keep making vague accusations all day?
Dude, I didn't take a screenshot foe every time an IP was blocked and the reason explaining why. To be fair with the janny, half of the blocks were for pornography.

>>8828
>an inflexible mindset is synonymous of autism. Did you know it?
So is pattern recognition, but ironically the most autistic and objectionable users on the site ((You), Nigel) seem to lack this trait. And thus, the cycle keeps repeating:

>obnoxious autist posts content nobody likes
<gets called a faggot
>obnoxious autist doubles down
<gets called a gigafaggot and is asked to leave
>obnoxious autist triples down
<b&
>b& expires or obnoxious faggot evades
<cycle resumes

Many such cases. Sad.

>>8830
>But I want to articulate the behavior in such a way that the next time it's applied, there is some standard to point to, and say "this is acceptable and this isn't"
I'm not normally one for overly-generous discretion in policy, but isn't it also to a certain degree the staff's responsibility to interpret stuff like this? If they're staff, they should be experts on chan culture. It's their role as the staff to maintain the health of the board, which includes culture, which is by nature vague. Considering we trust them all enough to give them full access to sitewide admin tools, we should also be able to trust them to police the site with due discretion.
We don't have any rules against spammers, raiders or advertisers, and those get banned anyway because of common sense discretion. It should be hard to apply to this either.

I feel like what's missing from here is the stakes. Imageboard culture is a very fragile thing. Just a couple shitposters who didn't lurk can drastically impact the culture of a board because the volume of their posts dilutes what gave the board its soul. After a certain threshold is reached, the damage is irreparable, because new posters will only have the warped shitposts to learn from when they themselves lurk. Oldfags and content creators leave as the board they loved is no longer the same, leading to a death spiral of culture loss until you get this:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f4xeD0kbJBA
Newfags on imageboards are like immigrants from foreign countries: if they assimilate properly, they can be be great; if they don't lurk, they can be incredibly destructive.
>>8831
>He wants people to believe that there are multiple anons posting shitty faceberg memes in his meme-dump threads in an effort to astroturf actual demand for the shitty content he posts.
I used to believe him, perhaps because I didn't personally want to believe that only one poster was responsible for so much damage, but now I can see through it.
>If you go through his threads, you can actually observe instances of him replying to himself in order to fake thread engagement.
I noticed this too. Also the threads intentionally made without poster IDs to obscure the samefaggotry.
>>8832
>Not pushing this place to become like other places.
A thousand times this.
If we're going to turn into a Boomer's crappy Facebook feed, we may as well just die.
>>8833
>Too fuzzy and subject to arbitrary interpretation
Maybe you'd understand if you LURKED MOAR FAGGET

>>8837
How do you even know when other poster's IPs are blocked? Do you have the banlogs?
99.9% of bans are for bots and raiders.

>>8840
>How do you even know when other poster's IPs are blocked?
Because when you use VPN or Tor (in which IPs are shared among a lot of people), if the IP was banned by /mlpol/, when you attempt to post you are welcomed with a message informing you why and when the ban will end.

>>8837
You're the one making claims about mass-banning. It's you who should be proving it.

>why don't we just ban obviously obnoxious faggot posters when they are obviously being obnoxious faggots without caring whether there is a written rule about it?
The reason is simple. Because not every onboxious faggot poster is one that you are thinking of right now, and any such rule is going to be applied more broadly than just to the posters you are thinking of right now. It's helpful to have some kind of objective rule to point to so that users can be told "stop fucking doing that or we will ban you."

There's another reason. As this rule would be applied to actual users of the website - that is to say, those who actually wish to engage in discussion - a part of its function is corrective. Just telling an autistic person "stop being a newfag or will ban you" tells him nothing about what he did wrong or what behavior needs to be changed to fit in. It's better to give specific directions and feedback as to how exactly to stop being an excessive faggot.

>>8837
Can you at least point to the thread you're talking about? Because again, the only ban I can recall is you, getting banned for continuing to post junk and belligerently arguing with staff.

>>8836
>As stated before, to me, the most common symptom of posting-I-don't-like is a rejection of anonymity for a strong assertion of self-identity
>"Business Dog" does not bother me. It's bad when the assertion of self-identity is arrogant and superior.
Agree with this. "Business Dog" is annoying and I usually snipe at him when I see him, but he hasn't done anything he deserves to be reprimanded or kicked out of the community for. The main traits of faggotry are usually self-centered attention-whoring, coupled with some kind of persecution complex.

>>8840
This is a fair point. How would you know when someone else has been banned? Unless there's a giant red "USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST," there is no way to tell. Odds are, all of the "users" you're talking about are just instances of yourself, and part of your effort to astroturf engagement in your shitty threads, as outlined here: >>8831

>>8842
>mass-banning
Let us not exaggerate. These bans were sufficient to make /polack/ posting almost gone. Then I stepped up to fill the void and (you) begun to shot flak at me. Very shitty of (you).

>>8846
>These bans were sufficient to make /polack/ posting almost gone.
I've been here the whole time, and I've been able to observe the quantity of posting as it increased and decreased. The absence of /pol/ack posting you mention isn't the result of bans, because if it were it would have been noticable by the abrupt absence of certain posters.
>I stepped up to fill the void
Fill the void with what now?
>(you) begun to shot flak at me. Very shitty of (you).
(We) Began shooting flak because the posts fucking sucked.

>>8844
>Can you at least point to the thread you're talking about?
No because I didn't care. I was not a participant.

>>8848
How are we supposed to take your claims seriously without even seeing the thread?
All of the banlogs should still exist. Staff could look up the band you're referring to if you'd be more specific.

>>8847
>The absence of /pol/ack posting you mention isn't the result of bans, because if it were it would have been noticable by the abrupt absence of certain posters.
For what I saw bans were mostly because the posters were rude (nigger, faggot, kys, etc), or because they were calling out other anons with names such a jew or shill or fed.

>>8848
Well, then I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about. What you're talking about doesn't ring a bell for me, and you're being vague and evasive, so I guess I have no choice but to just call bullshit on you and leave it at that.

>>8851
>Well, then I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about
The messages informing of the blocked IP and the reason why are part of the /mlpol/ code.

>>8850
We've built up thousands of bans over the years, mostly from the raiders who used to nuke the catalog every single day.
If you can't cite any specifics, there's really no way we can accept what you claim as fact.

>>8851
>What you're talking about doesn't ring a bell for me, and you're being vague and evasive, so I guess I have no choice but to just call bullshit
This, tbh

>>8853
>If you can't cite any specifics, there's really no way we can accept what you claim as fact.
I have been repeating this a few times during the hoaxdemic in the /qa/ board while arguing with (you) exactly about the same topic as this bread, you didn't pay attention it seems.

>>8855
Point to your posts then

>>8803
>>8855
You know, all this aside, you're claiming that the OP is trying to "return to" this supposed era of mass-banning that only you know about, when at face value there wasn't any sort of policy change to leave that era.
Mods have, for as long as we know, almost never banned anyone but overt raiders and bots. The fact that we're even having this conversation is proof that they don't discipline people for simply shitposting, no matter how obnoxious it is. You're claims that changing this status quo would mean a return to an era of mass-banning is self-defeating.

>Just telling an autistic person "stop being a newfag or will ban you" tells him nothing about what he did wrong or what behavior needs to be changed to fit in. It's better to give specific directions and feedback as to how exactly to stop being an excessive faggot.
The catch-22 here is that the most extreme autists don't generally respond to specific directions or feedback any better than they respond to someone just calling them a faggot. How many different times did Nigel have it explained to him, in plain English, exactly what he was doing wrong and what he would need to do to correct it? Did he ever listen? For that matter, Boom Boom has also had the negative aspects of his behavior pointed out to him, and all it does is make him double down on his persecution complex. As we are currently witnessing in real time.

>>8852
>The messages informing of the blocked IP and the reason why are part of the /mlpol/ code.
See, this is exactly what makes me suspicious about your claim. The only user who would see a message detailing reasons for a ban would be the banned user. Unless the staff chose to put a "User was banned" message on a specific post, the rest of the board would not have any way to see that a user has been banned. In other words, these banned users you keep bringing up are actually you. You are complaining that you yourself were banned, but are trying to make it look like other users were banned along with you.

>>8858
Ponerpics is still buggy, has a bunch of redundant images, and the ratings system is non-existent. That's a discussion for another thread though.

I was banned just for posting a meme in the Flat Earth bread twice or more times I believe, and actually I'm not sure because I was switching IPs while I didn't know I was banned. Then accused of ban evasion many times, but I didn't know.

You bump it with redundant images and low-rez jpegs that were already posted, or grainy image macros taken from Facebook in a sloppy attempt to bait posters into engaging you in arguments that were already had earlier in the thread.

Oof, same lies again. Those memes would never ever be admitted in faceberg.

>>8870
Nigger, these are your exact words:
>So much quality that even when everypony was banned the best you faggots where posting was Hi Anon threads.
Let me call special attention to this part:
>everypony was banned
"Everypony" implies multiple people. You are trying to make it look like more than one person was banned, when in reality it was just you posting from different IPs.

>>8872
>I pad a bread, I keep it bumped and alive. I did nothing wrong.
You keep it "bumped and alive" by posting fake replies to make it look like there are other anons posting besides you. The only reason it required bumping in the first place is because no one else was interested in the content you were posting, thus nobody else was participating. And yes, you did do something wrong: you disingenuously posted fake replies to a bullshit thread to fake engagement in said thread.

>>8874
>implying
You've clearly haven't been on /pol/ very much, or 4chan itself for that matter.

>>8879
>You keep it "bumped and alive" by posting fake replies to make it look like there are other anons posting besides you.

When I reverse image search them, they show up on the flat earth Facebook page, full of memes of the same quality.
But do share, if not Facebook, where do you get your memes? What site are you getting these from?

<Users should report posts that break the rules, bants come afterwards.
As in staff should just do it the community trusts you even when you worry about faggot stuff and do a dumb sometimes and wackey user side freak outs.
Users will post on /qa/ if you fuck up or other users fucked up. Maybe bants a bit, but it'll all be good.
And if it's not good users will shit on /qa/ in a thread and responsibly get shitfaced, shitpost and post horse pussy.
I'm being serious this is less of the old fags needed to purity spiral, because purity spirals are really super extra bad, but a tool to ensure the magical beginning stays that magical beginning.
Do not purity spiral.
I know old fags are shit heels and are annoying as fuck so are newfags and cancer-fags and /ptg/ fags, but it's the specifics in flavor and nuance.
>Oldfags want /mlpol/ to stay /mlpol/. The other fags don't.
With that quick rule of thumb out of the way.
Here's a supplemental list so you can tell the faggots why they're a faggot. Pick maybe a handful or all of them or one.
Listed in no particular order.
>Just Lurk More
Yes that is a solution, stop ass mashing the keyboard and go learn about the old guard. The history, the green texts, the shit posts. Learn some imageboard history in this a place.
Call it learning about history or something.
>Staff Custom order
That's right (You) make up some bullshit then post it some /qa/ thread or stick it on that post for shits and giggles. Hopefully they'll learn from it.
Just making fun shitposts legal.
Stick a rainbow flag or whatever other nonsense, we're all imageboard residents and you have to have a bit of fun.
>It Happened again
It happened again. And again and again ect.
>Communications go nowhere.
It's not that they don't talk. It's like talking to a brick wall that sometimes spits a shaken canned soda of shit.
>Superiority Complex
They're better than everybody. They're of higher value than everyone else.
>Anti-Discussion tactics
It's impossible to have a good-faith discussion.
>Puppeting for arguments agreement
They pretend to be somebody else to trick others and that pretend somebody who happens to agree with everything is not them. Usually done poorly and it's retarded.
This isn't mocking or pretending for the purpose of discussion, most of all nobody is tricked or is tricking. It's a retorical technique.
>Paranoia speak
Such as the staff is a shill, that point is kike centric or it was horse cock legend. Ect. On a personal note sorry about that.
>Babble-bullshit
It's more than nonsense it's going the extra mile.
>Slog
It has little redeeming properties, it's not fun, it's not insightful, it's not new, it's not an update, it's not knowledge, it's not shitposting, it's not bettering anybody in any way, it's not even trying.
>Speaking from ignorance
The faggot just spews ignorance like a niggah moment.
>Doubling down to the nth power.
Happens again and again and again. It's just retarded enough like a paki throwing away drugs and expecting the officer to also forget about it once it's out of sight. Or that it was just a moment ago.
>Dissociation
It wasn't them after all continuity of consciousness doesn't exist for them.
>Tactical slipperiness
Like slime if you grab it too hard.
>Legalese Salad
You know for violating race mixing rule because of a pony and human. It's bullshit and nonsense.
>Total Rejecting /MLPOL/ etiquette. No attempt to learn or retain it.
It's that self-behavior modification didn't or doesn't work or happen.
<What is horse-whispering forum etiquette that matters for community and site health.

>Because not every onboxious faggot poster is one that you are thinking of right now
And who are those other obnoxious faggots?
>>8824
>To me, the most common attribute of excessive faggotry is making everything personal. Too many first-person pronouns in their posts, and too many personal attacks of other posters.
So, I dunno if I understood this correctly. But if you mean to say that shit flinging should become a bannable offense. It should first make it to the rules. In fact, it should be put under the same scrutiny as anything on this thread. Poners can be confident the staff will handle this with the same caution it has handled this thread thus far.

Fuck I actually have to address this here or it won't be documented.

Lotus you cook a good steamed ham. But you're saying the immune system sucks because everything gets red and puffy and full of weird fluids.
It's a sign of a reaction to an illness the immune system uses all the time and it goes away once there's nothing wrong.
You're looking at the symptom rather than the root cause according to what you've typed.
As such I vehemently disagree. You could do what you've suggested. You'll find ailments has gone terminal.
It takes it's toll on the body and it takes time to recover.
>I'm not a fan of these rules.
I know. I'm sad that is the case.
I understand you desire maximum freedom of speech and I thought that too. Because everyone could talk it out even if we don't agree we're all here in this together.
The problem is not everyone is in this together.
For Anonymous users in the trenches it's grating like sand paper. Wiping your hand across it once is fine, doing so repeated gets down to the bone.
That's why I'm suggesting a rule, because the default shitposting immune system found something new, so we need staff.
If you want to try going about it as a user feel free, but if you don't understand I have to insist you give it shot so you have this complete experience.
It hurts, I am sorry for that.
And I am sorry I didn't get around to this sort of thing sooner, but I didn't get it fully yet then. It might take years, it did for me.
I hope you understand where I'm coming from.
On a lighter condensed note I suppose I am telling you to stick your hand into a hurt-box so the visceral wearing down can be used to safe guard the future.
<It's way different from gripping sharp spiky metal balls which is what users of /mlpol/ or the old times tend to be.
Yes (You) all have balls of steel.
Quickly piercing down to the bone marrow so the ball is released which is full of pony and a toxic concoction of autism, shitposting, friendship and more pony.
And sometimes going all the way through out the other side.
By design this ends most faggotry staff doesn't want or need to touch.
The optimal hurt-box minimizing suffering for maximum cultural and psychological conversion or leakage from the experience.

This sounds to me like a commie rationalization of your basic intention: banish that anon because he will not fold to our wishes. Kinda a mutation of the liberal hivemind.
>>8897
And this is a naked attempt to use law enforcement to do the dirty work for ya. What about if you mind your business and leave the rest alone?

For those of you who still don't get it. Lotus is referencing a small group of posters who wanted certain undesirables banned. And whom more often than not, got into arguments with him and other staff members in some cases. You can say they aren't very polite.

Welp, I was gonna wait and see if you're willing to swallow your pride for the site's sake. But I've known the answer for years now.
Tho you hate "self-aggrandizing" posts. It's hard not to bake them when I'm better than you.
For what it's worth. I'm sorry for having antagonized you like that. I'm sorry for going all out in such a personal level. And I'm sorry for being such a shit throwing monkey. I said somethings about this site's users, and about you, that I shouldn't have said. And it was with the only goal of making you and the others feels batman.
So, am sorry fella. I don't deserve to be welcomed back with open arms like nothing happened. I chose to abandon this place then and there, when I started attacking you and the others. And you were justified to have banned me.
I can't speak for niggas and the others. But I atleast won't get in the way any longer. Do whatever you want. I hope you can make the right choice.
Some of my posts >>>/sp/22015 → >>>/sp/22372 → Btw, I know this is all contradictory to what I've told you in the other thread, Sven. But this is called making a compromise and putting your pride aside and it isn't done very often.

>>8899
>Then why don't you actually leave?
I will. I haven't even posted for a very long time. Only came back to shi...I mean, tell Sven something I wanted to tell him for a long time.

>>8895
>>8897
BTW, in the threads pointed at >>8859 I said a few times that you faggots are killing /mlpol/ when you bring forward drama and division. Your answer has always been derision and outright dismissal, those threads don't lie. Just saying.

>>8897
Godspeed, anon.

>>8896
>And who are those other obnoxious faggots?
I think a short answer of "what posters come to mind for excessive faggotry?" is that every one of them has been ad hoc banned at least once

>>8896
>So, I dunno if I understood this correctly. But if you mean to say that shit flinging should become a bannable offense. It should first make it to the rules.

More or less. I think there's more to it than just "shit flinging," but there's definitely a point at which ad hominin attacks just suffocate discussion.

>You're looking at the symptom rather than the root cause according to what you've typed.
As such I vehemently disagree. You could do what you've suggested. You'll find ailments has gone terminal.
I think you're saying "If you know it's problem, just fucking do it," correct?
