Suggested Rule Addition: Lurk Moar Fagget

Staff and Jannies and Administrators have had their hands tied in a measure of good faith, and so when the users see what is wrong in their hearts they speak out.
By the rules the community crafted to ensure our everything didn't become a shithole, they cover most of the known issues.
But not all, and that is where tension occurs.
As many considered age old shitposting tactics, which usually do work with correcting hostile behavior to the whole of /mlpol/.
Until it doesn't.
We don't yet have rules which directly address that kind of bullshit so the staff and go staff and know the community is behind them in support.

I'm proposing a new rule the Faggot Clause. Maybe Lurk moar fagget.
Proportional banning/tempban/kick/shitposty-retaliation/unusual-punishment for faggotry.
We all know what it is, because we've experienced this with long time users that degrade the whole experience for everyone. It boils down to they don't lurk as in there is no assimilation to our imageboard culture.
If they've successfully lurked and listened to suggestions they wouldn't be faggots.

It's gatekeeping to prevent the values of the imageboard from being taken over.

Rabid individualism without teamwork doesn't work. And lecherous collectivism with no individual also can't work.
/mlpol/ is a slice of something magical, politics and ponies and anons shitposting, talking and having a grand time without bots, shills, crazy SJW types, dindus, spam, /ptg or hyper cancer nu-fags.
Suggestions and community support is required if you too want something like this.

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.

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.

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.
That's spam. It's hardly different than a "/pol/ BTFO" thread.

Nigger, these are your exact words:

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.

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?

Also so we need more posts and posting to hash this out completely.
First and foremost, staff intuition and post event user verification.
<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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
