I think we're talking past each other. For me, the red-blue board split is axiomatic to the quality of discussion. When we can feel safe never to see anything lewd we can feel safe to post to our hearts' delight. It's naive to assume your body doesn't feel the feel when looking at something lewd or unsafe. I remember /pone/ going down in flames because moderation couldn't stop anons without self control.

If someone wants a blue board, then there's already NHNB's very own /fim/ for that. I just fail to see any need for /poner/ to be anything but 100% red.

It's not good to need a whole different website when we can all stay together. Seriously, have you never used /mlp/ before? Blue board for ponies, and when you wanted lewd you went to /trash/, another board on the same website.

I have answered the question. You're starting to sound like anime fans in >>9628, albeit pre-emptively. In the past we posted nsfw, to be exact it was gore, in order to troll newfags. We can have a blue board in addition to red boards. We have an anime board! Why does mlpol.net have an anime board? Just because.
Try it.
Try a blue board and feel the difference.

Porn in OP is more than just browsing at work.
It's a psychological thing, the OP sets the rest of the thread. If porn is in the OP, more horny posters posting porn are likely to follow. Like clop dump threads on /mlp/ you would see more than one IP get on the bandwagon and pornpost.
But people on /mlp/ were already horny and a red/poner/ shows that pornposting can become dominant anytime with lots of threads, so it's kind of a gray area here if the same psyche barrier even matters over embracing /trash/.

The fact is nhnb sucks. Lynxchan was always bad and that's what nhnb was built on. It was trash when it was made to supplement 8chan and a downgrade in every way.
The captcha system and hourly bypasses gets complained about all the time, but there is no solution, and never will be because the admin isn't a good coder. It's his way of dealing with bots, but it's crude and punishes the entire userbase for it.

Fuck just settling for passable, a blue /poner/ would be better just because I don't have to use a captcha every post. mlpol is closer to 8chan but I don't expect /poner/ going blue will happen.

Which is why I questioned if the psyche barrier even matters on a red board. Even something just harmless like clearing a canvas in /bale/ and /create/ has to have porn spoilered if it's posted on nhnb, but if the same file is posted here then people ask why it's not just porn >>>/poner/833 → >>>/poner/826 →

/mlp/ had this weird thing when the mods would surprisingly ban anons for things they've allowed for years and silently allow them back in again, and also silently delete posts without warning. Over the years, anons have tried to lot out the limits. Force of habit, I think.

At the risk of tossing in an apple of discord…

A moderator wants to revisit the idea of allowing thread OPs to declare the pork rules within their respective threads (SFW, NSFW, Spoiler). Another wants no NSFW in the OP to keep the catalogue SFW, and a separate spoiler option for poke versus other NSFW.

I shut up for a while, but you guys are dumb, so here's the reality.

Mlpol will always be a red board. /sp/ will always be a red board. Ponies will always be allowed on Mlpol, that's effectively a global rule for all boards. BTW /vx/ is also a red board, for the tf2 fags. In fact, there isn't currently a blue board on the whole site.
If /poner/ anons want a blue board - and there does seem to be a significant number clamoring for - it seems reasonable to accommodate. Spoilering OP NSFW won't work for several reasons, including but not limited to spoiler-trolling, and leaving it to OP to properly designate which type of thread it is is troublesome and kinda gives a little too much credit to anonymous

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Anon, I don't know what the hell you are talking about. Something about Twibooru and a comment that isn't actually available in the link and I cannot read. It sounds important. What the hell are you talking about?

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.
