Hi anon! We reformed the rule set! Check it out here
https://mlpol.net/policy

>What was wrong with the old set?
So very, very many things

To start off, it was not made on mlpol.net. It was made on April 2, 2017, on the merged board of 4chan. It was never made for this website, nor any independent site, and it has no reflection to our situation. The vast majority of people who participated in that thread on 4chan are not here now, and do not use mlpol.net. Several of the rules in the old set were added by staff over the years and were never voted on.

Second, it has no bearing at all to rules as enforced and probably never has. The number one violation for which we issue bans is and long has been spam. Those little cyrilic bot posts with the ultra-low-resolution images. Tell me where in the old rule set it says "do not spam?" Pro-tip: it doesn't. A majority of all of our moderation enforcement has been against something that isn't even listed as against the rules. There is also no rule in it against off-board raiding - even though that is clearly the spirit of several of the rules - and off board raids have long been one of the dominant reasons for bans.

It worked the other way as well. The rule against "generals" was discarded in practical enforcement in the first year when we decided to allow Syria General to post on /mlpol/. Not long after this, anonfilly was invited after being kicked off of /mlp/. There's also that unstated rule 1 and rule 2. "Don't talk about /mlpol/." We realized within a month of April 2 that not advertising the board - which now was off of 4chan and was it's own website - was a bad idea.

The rule set had absolutely no rule against insufferable and obnoxious posters, and that was a rather big issue.

And you can't tell me it wasn't ungainly and long. It was two typed pages. That isn't useful.

The rule set was prone to misinterpretation, or at least, to give the wrong impression to newcomers. I met with a friend who didn't know I had anything to do with mlpol, and asked him what he thought about the altchans. He told me that mlpol.net and /poner/ was hampered by its banning of generals. A rule we have enfored... once? Ever? Back in the summer of 2017?

And yes, the rules lawyering around the "striped" thread was a factor. Rather than arguing actually relevant issues like whether or not the zebras having sex with twilight were a part of fetish, or posted with a deliberate intent to disrupt the board, instead time and energy is wasted arguing with people who in some cases had never used the board before that day over what degree the my little pony porn resembled some kind of thread that was spammed on the /pol/ board many years ago. That's not helpful.

>Why now? Why not after a long, lengthy process?
It should have been overhauled years ago. I have wanted to overhaul the rules for years. The primary reason we have not is because we didn't have an idea for how to codify a moderator response to what we considered to be edge cases - posters who seemed to be acting in good faith, but who were so horrifically and consistently obnoxious it ruined the experience for everyone around them. It wasn't until this year that I figured out the blanket term "disruptive" captures the essence of these edge cases, but also posting types we ban anyways, like off-board raiders and spam.

>But why now specifically?
Because now is the time that reforms that have been long put off are most needed.

>Why these rules?
I wanted the rules to do three things. One, to reflect actual enforcement and the needs of moderation. Two, to be rather limited, allow most posts to be permitted, and maximum freedom to posters. And three, be short and easy to understand. What we came up with, I think, does capture most circumstances where moderation action is needed, and does so in a succinct and easy to understand manner. Some of the rules could easily be split up into smaller rules, but still, it is a short list of rules.

>Why does the policy page say that the rule set is "under construction"?
Because that part of the policy page is probably going to be modified to include a description of the boards and any rules that might be specific to the board

>But shouldn't the community discuss the rules?
Well, this is the thread. Discuss it now. As stated, the rules were written to reflect actual enforcement. These are things that we have already discussed endlessly, including last year when there was a proposal to add a "lurk more" rule. And besides, if you haven't noticed, who the "community" even is right now is in a state of flux. The newcomers need a very simple set of rules that they can read, understand, and not misinterpret, and they need it now.

>Does this mean that /poner/ is not getting rules on porn?
Not necessarily. We've decided that we will give that a little more time to decide what to do. It's very unlikely that we are going to make /poner/ a completely blue board, but it's far from out of the question that we will add rules like no NSFW in the OP, no porn dumping, or require spoilers. If this is added, it will not be listed on the global rule set. It will be under the board specific rule set, which as of now has not been added.

My next point. If you catch a ban and you don't know why (I didn't say agree, I said know) you're either an idiot or being disingenuous
>this last point also applies to furshit
Also agreed. I like to make a game of flaunting that I'm a furry, but seriously there needs to be a harder stance on furshit or it will be exploited. Does this go back to the earlier point of "trying to plan for what assholes will do", but AS A FURRY, the site needs to be unambiguous about furries; IDC if it's SFW or NSFW

It's a good idea to have a board where you can scroll in public with the worst danger being getting odd looks rather than being charged with breaking obscenity laws. The downside is that even if OP has to be SFW, the last several replies that show up as you scroll past might be NSFW.

Furries have long been persecuted across the imageboards AND FOR GOOD REASON! Even old /b/ hated fur fags and it wasn't because /b/ of all places gave a shit about the weird fetishes. No furries have to make everything about being a fucking furry. If they are allowed here. They will make this place furfagchan.

Now that we have a thread watcher I'd like to revisit this for the admins to take into the account things being forced around the site are generally intended to demoralize and degenerate the alt chans and have closer ties to /trash/ an otherwise alien board culture to both /mlp/ and /mlpol/, and If /poner/ is to serve as a refugee board it's losing the long moral game to general distaste and unease, despite being the best to use from a technical pov.

>Overnight spam of striped, followed by rage baiting mods of striped thread, and out of containments, >>>/poner/3631 →
Review the information here. >>>/mlpol/386855 → and you can see that the striped spam is being posted at the same time as bbc spam on other imageboards which now includes nhnb.
<Zoospam
Shortlived but in the humanized thread >>>/poner/298 →. Did not turn to spam wars like striped, but could have. Purpose was just demoralizing people who like humanized pony.
<Dogpussy
In a thread discussing pony porn, already discussed but just following the trends even if it was short lived bait it had no place in the thread.
<Futaspam in teamfortress
Maybe considered normal as an outlier, they do have a reputation of being huge faggots., but has also posted cockvore
<Stray futa threads
Nothing to talk about and was just empty bumped. this is a slide thread on a slow board.
<Blob thread made after another futa thread
The filenames like 'twishart' again show it looks to be just a slide/troll thread.
</lgbt/ and futaspam in the ai general >>>>7155 →
This was never a thing on /mlp/, even when sfw was only allowed flagfags were very absent. Spam demoralization.
<Anthro being posted outside of the anthro thread, in pony dominant threads
Trolls understand that anthro is considered a gateway to further degeneracy and combine factors to

Proposed solution
Rotational spam is a common shilling tactic, extreme degeneracy is the current shillplay book to dilute imageboard culture like on 8moe.
Some enforced containment threads are needed to crackdown on trolls and shills that can cycle through content that 'ownes the chuds'.
>Zoo - like moe does it. Most /mlp/ does not want to see or talk about irl bestality
>Mareflares - already a thing but futaspam is being posted outside of it.

A boardwide flags split is unnecessary and convoluted, fyi the site already has the function to disable or enable flags per thread. Disabling flags was requested for /poner/ on it's creation.

Pupper made a change for /opg/ silently >>189763 which means that everyboard should have the function if needed and it was just a way for less shitflinging breaking out between flag lines like /int/ and /pol/

To me it's nowhere near as important as red/blue especially under the wave of demoralizing posting that is pushing people to use /mlpol/ less. There's a line between apolitical and just anarchist, /poner/ is the latter atm which is off-putting to /mlp/ users but greatly incentivizing to /trash/post which is a win to shills.

nhnb definitely has users with a stuck up mentality that fetishes should be sent here, especially the more degenerate even though they have /clop/ Like kikes sending muslims over to other countries even when they're right next door. But at the same time the ones making horrible threads and posts here are obviously baiting for a reaction playing both sides. >>9391

You can't bet on gross stuff being a shill deterrent when the shills are the ones posting it. Things aren't the same as they were, and there's been plenty of cases of shills using degenerate content to ruin boards. Ai especially is a great tool for a shill, no longer needing to pay a pajeet to pump out garbage edits manually, just pay them to do with with a gpu and it's faster than going to save a file off a database.

Anon, posting AI generated pony images in a thread for AI generated pony images is not spam. That’s what the thread is there for. I am completely at a loss how exactly it is supposed to be spam. We’ve recorded multiple reports for spam. Most reports are for completely innocuous, completely normal looking posts.

I do see some posts that definitely look provocative and could be baiting. But no one reports them.

I'm surprised at how naïve the mods are here despite supposed to be able to recognize shilling from raids and 4chan style disingenuous posting on /pol/. I get that mlpol never really had the creative community to care about so you can't tell the difference but it does not bode well for health of longterm board.

In this case no, it merely takes on a different form as a jewish shapeshifting shitposter. The spammer is operating under this moronic logic Lotus is thinking with atm, that things are "on topic to the thread" so it can't ever be spam or shouldn't be removed since it's loosely following the OP.

Except the spammers are being disingenuous and Lotus is being dense as a brick. This sort of spam was incredibly pervasive in suffocating many /mlp/ threads on a blue board, and they know the consequences are usually thread-death as anon's abandon it when it's endless ai slop.

You will see what I mean soon enough when I'm done making the 1st spoonful.

It feels like I'm making one of those old warning posts on /trash/. It's really something how much of a FAGGOT this one is, and I'm merely scratching the surface on the ai art thread's spam. Only touching on the unapologetic behavior.

Not even going into the derails about communism he will sperg about when ai threads happen in general. Here's some damning quotes and patterns from this /b/troon ai spammer, and his buttbuddy(?)

<Twice the effort I normally put in, took me a whole minute!
<Time to activate my love and tolerance mode in the thread, sometimes the old ways are the best ways
This is a warning shot that it's a /b/troon. The love and tolerance and pissing people off with pony spam.

I call it "The great filter"
Ages ago people used to go home and sit @ the computer in order to browse the internet, phone-posting changed this (for the worse).

It is best if mlpol cannot be safely accessed by casual users on the bus or street; The biggest issue with phone-posting is the "ill just post a quick reply" mentality said users might have. A thread full of "lol", "faggot", and one-liners is not giving way to any sort of meaningful interaction whatsoever. Pony pussy addresses this issue (in part) by making it less likely for an user to be browsing this board in public.

If you are not browsing /mlpol/ in public, then you most likely have the time and focus to write a proper post.
Of course, this is just a theory of mine,im curious to hear your take on this.

Furries are indeed an issue, they like horse pussy so posting pony porn is not really useful at all, it would be hard to get rid of furried here. It would also be quite hard to get rid of soyjack posters.

Mod intervention and rules are indeed needed sometimes, I just dont want you all fags to over-rely on mods rather than take issues into your own hands whenever possible.

The crux being disingenuous posting, blending in like a jew into white countries then subverting the community. IDs will not entirely solve it, but it could put a damper in it.

Moe was nuked over zoo content that flew under the radar, it's unrelated to ai gens. But the same spammer already resists posting to >>>/cyb/ which had an ai art thread already, and want more eyes on them in /poner/ so they can fill up threads and stealth-slide while starving the regulars of actual content with more effort behind it. Like feeding a baby mcdonalds causing malnutrition and diabetus, killing them early.

8moe is getting bbc shilling all over the boards, and those shills are ignoring the fact that 8ch already had boards for actual bbc fetishes like /interacial/ and /2dblacked/. See it's the same thing, unless there's a crackdown from moderation to force them to move and start banning, then the trolls are never going to use a board for their own '''''interests'''' because the goal is disruption of the community, and replacement with a "new normal" that's 10x worse than it was before. Very slimey and jewish

The spammer already doesn't want to move off /poner/, like a termite whos found a nice foundation to eat away at. If you made a thread on /mlpol/ it's likely they wouldn't go, just like on /cyb/ and would instead make a new thread on /poner/ in defiance of being uprooted as a weed and will continually point out that posting ponies isn't offtopic on the /poner/ board, its rule one after all. so the ai pony thread will be posted on /poner/ and thats that.

That was my point. Sure, you could filter disruptive posters and once they realise they are being ignored, they'll switch IDs and start again. Rinse and repeat ad infinitum. I just scroll past and move on. Unless I'm shitfaced. I do plan on going to >>>/cyb/1545 → to use the thread there, maybe encourage others to move as well.

That's what people have to do here, in the wild west. But unfortunately 4chan /mlp/ was cultivated on bait from the very beginning.
The divisions on where people stop enjoying pony only make baiting more prominent. mlpol so far hasn't stepped in really at all, and leaves it almost entirely to self-police a community of people who have low impulse control.

And when people do bring it up instead of just seething openly and driving further bait threads, they're generally blocked by naïve mods

I don't really have an issue with that, in all honesty. The mods have their reasons for their moderation policies, I'm sure. I wouldn't dare expect them to kowtow to a group of refugees yet they have been incredibly accommodating with implementing feature requests and actively engaging with the community.

I've engaged with the Turboautist several times, trying to understand his reasoning on matters but he's without substance, refusing to talk in good faith and be deliberately obtuse. Ostracism and social exclusion is probably the only thing that would have any effect as he'll get angrier, and angrier until he starts posting things that would probably piss off the mods.

I don't phonepost and I generally agree with this idea. Still, even if you don't post there's nothing wrong with lurking. Important news gets shared to the site and there are high-effort threads like the /lit/ threads that are fun to read on their own. Sometimes you want to catch up with what's been posted on the board and think about what you would like to write before you actually get a solid opportunity. Other times you might have windows of time to work on a single post during a busy schedule. These are all things I've done from browsing the site in public on occasion.

Feral as a term makes sense exclusively in the context of zoophiles who want to fuck nonsapient animals. It does not mean "animal shaped" (that'd be zoomorphic), it means "not trained or owned, re-wilded animal of domesticated species".
So yeah it makes even less sense with ponies than it does with furfag subculture.

Okay, I have a guess as to what this is about.

Last weekend I noticed that PonerPics would on occasion return an internal server error. This is a sign of excessive stress on the server. So I went into Cloudflare, and found several countries where the traffic was obviously not from humans, and placed restrictions. I'm guessing that one of these is includes the Twibooru scraper and thus has banned it from scraping PonerPics. This has happened before.

I have unrestricted two of the four restricted countries. I think that will unban the Twibooru scrapper, though I don't know which IP it uses. I wish someone would reach out to me instead of just saying "they banned us? oh well, fuck them."

And maybe this has nothing to do with that, I don't know. But it's a guess.

Okay, looking into Cloudflare, as well as looking at the DM Floorb sent me two years ago, I can see that one of the rules I enabled blocked the country that the Twibooru Importer came from two years ago. That rule has been disabled.

I'm not sure what the rest of that post was about though.

I'll retract this for now. I for some reason assumed the new rules would be better but since I haven't compared them, I don't know. I'll try to inspect and compare them and see which I prefer. Maybe they were changed too much in the heat of the moment. We'll see.

I mean, visual stimuli will make the body of a male (or female but other stimuli) have a reaction. You might be able to ignore it for a while but it's painful and if you're all alone, ego-depletion will probably get you in the end. This is just how things go.
If you wanna test this yourself, you can make sure you will not be disturbed, hit up a porn browsers, undress, and just marathon but don't masturbate, and see how far you get.
Your body does not like missing out so it will cause you pain when you don't indulged that's why resisting things is so hard.

Instead of more boards we should imitate 4chan as much as possible.
150 threads a board. 500 posts a thread.
Blue boards. Red boards.
Blue /pony/ for /mlp/ refugees; blue /mlpol/ for /pol/, /int/, /his/, /sci/, and /k/ refugees; red /clop/ for pony porn and /trash/ refugees; and red /mlpol/ for /pol/ refugees who aren't safe.

What purpose would splitting /mlpol/ into a blue board (/pol/ was never blue) and a red board serve? It would just hurt activity and discussions since the same topics would be divided and more annoying to switch between. I can see /clop/ being useful but even if /poner/ becomes blue it would be redundant thanks to /sp/ and /mlpol/.
