I wish moderators did their job. I also wish anyone who asks for sauce, or at the very least when doing so without contributing, got instantly banned for 2 months. Shit's annoying.

>>7527188
Seems to be a lot of threads advertising discords too.

>>7527196
>I wish moderators did their job.
See OP's pic.

As for people screaming "sauce", if you're too stupid to reverse image search, too stupid to sad panda, too stupid to google image search, then yeah they should at least be providing content.

I've always supported permanent bans, but /d/'s mods are extremely lenient when it comes to bans. But morons aren't going to magically stop being morons. They'll just do the same shit when they get unbanned.

Not our decision though.

>>7527188
>>7527196
Couple more things... I think /d/ has become far too inclusive. There are too many fetishes on here that should be on /h/ or even /e/ like feet fetish, that censorship garbage, cuckolding, giants/giantess, etc. I don't care for the "Pic Below is your New Body" or "you're the girl in the pic below you" or just "____ pic below you" shit threads that are literally plaguing every single board. I also don't like it when furries, bestiality, lolis and shotas (usually under the guise of some other fetish) get posted here as they're against the rules and don't get deleted.

>>7527199
>They'll just do the same shit when they get unbanned.
So ban them again. Until they learn to stop that shit.

>>7527205
Best way to deal with it is to just report everything you see breaking the rules. Doesn't matter what fetish it is, if it's shota shit report it. They can hide it behind whatever fetish term they want, if it gets enough reports it'll get deleted.

Don't forget to do your civic /d/uty and report banned threads.

The foe is sneaky, and will try to disguise their thread under other names, posting images from a different fetish at first. Check new threads for signs of infection.

/d/raw, games, and western pics are violations of the rules.

>>7527225
If draw threads produce western images, then sure, report them. If games threads are posting games full of western art, or posting western art, then report them too.

>>7527213
>just report everything you see breaking the rules
If I reported everything I saw breaking the rules I wouldn't have time to jerk off.

>>7527225
those threads aren't listed anywhere in the rules anon, but if they post pretty much nothing but stuff against the rules for 2 years straight, they might get added to the ban list

>>7527227
There's a limit to the number of reports you can file in a day. Doesn't take long to hit that limit unless you have trouble figuring out captcha.

Friendly reminder that erotic fiction generals were the only ones producing original content and as a result can't be replaced by a google search.

>Discuss /d/ relevant issues.

You're discussing /trash/ issues right now.

>>7527226
need to changed the boards name from
/d/ - Hentai/Alternative
to
/d/ - Hentai, no words, or games

>>7527274
Why?

Here's the thing people seem to get wrong.

/d/ isn't for Hentai AND Alternative... it's Alternative Hentai. It's a TYPE of hentai. This is a hentai board pure and simple.

Pretty disappointed in /d/ that there's been no resistance, no fighting back against the shit-tier moderation that happened over the OC thread purge. Letting them walk all over you like this is why they keep pulling this shit, you don't offer any resistance to their bullshit.

The mods had no right to decide for us that we can't have OC. Are we really just going to let this slide? Or are we going to be assertive for once and tell the mods to fuck off and leave us alone, especially since they've been doing this shit to /d/ for YEARS?

Their site, their rules. The fact you "don't like it" changes nothing. Fuck off if you don't like it, the whole world doesn't have to change for you just because you shit yourself and protest. Go back to your dorm room.

>>7527304
No, it's entirely /d/ related.That content was /d/ relevant, people enjoyed it, it was a breath of fresh air in a time when /d/ was little else but a futa image dump board. Why the fuck does a whiny majority and a mod/mods with an eternal hateboner for this board and its content get to fucking decide for the rest of us that we don't want OC or anything but imagedumps on this board?

You just proved me right. It WAS relevant. It's not anymore.

This basically confirms that these threads are really just bait so you fags can gloat about how you got the mods to shut down content you don't like when people try to bring up the very legitimate grievance of mods being faggots.

>>7527317
It's still /d/ relevant content, the only reason it's 'not' currently is because mods are being faggots.

>hurr I attack typo, his post am invalid

>>7527317
Yeah, if it gets unbanned. Until then, go back to your own board. This thread is for /d/.

By your logic we should be discussing literally anything on this board, because it MIGHT become relevant at some point. Hell, let's discuss soldering. It might be /d/ relevant at some point.

>>7527322
The OP had nothing to do with your shit. You're the one that brought non-/d/ related discussion here. Don't blame others if they leap on you for it.

>>7527322
>you got the mods to shut down content

Pretty sure the mods did it on their own. And pretty sure the rules have been that way for years.

>>7527324
>>7527330
This is a meta /d/ thread.
How is discussing a recent "rule" on /d/ not relevant?

How do people actually feel about western art on /d/?

Personally, I see nothing wrong with it, so long as it isn't DeviantArt-tier shit. I was upset when /aco/ was created and western was purged from here as I didn't see it as necessary. I know mods will keep enforcing that rule and I'm not necessarily looking to change it. It's just my 2 cents.

>>7527304
Oh fuck you, you ass kissing moron. It shouldn't have happened with erotic fiction or caption, and if the mods had any god damn sense they would have enforced the no western rule and said "hey, if you're going to do this shit then make it a readable font and color, if it's so large it can't be read on screen put it on a pastebin, doc, etc."

Instead they went full retard. So no, screw your "it's a trash issue" bullshit. It's not trash because it's been a /d/ thing for years and no jackass mod is going to change that.

And it sure as hell isn't a /b/ issue because despite that there are fetishes that can get weird around here, don't fucking put us in the same category as the sick freaks who get off on decapitating a dog and showing it to the world!

Ironically, your response makes you seem really triggered.

>>7527338
It is /d/, you fucktard. Despite what the summer mods say.

>>7527324
This is a shit argument and you know it.
The content is still /d/ relevant, the only reason we can't post that board relevant content now is because of a mod that likely doesn't post on this board and doesn't know jack shit about what the actual users might have wanted in regards to that content.

>>7527331
Please tell me how posting /d/ content on /d/ in any way violated a single rule of this board? And if you cite any of the bullshit non board specific catch-alls that are really just excuses for mods to pull the kind of personally motivated bullshit they did with our OC I will fucking cut you.

>>7527334
/aco/ is just one offense in a long list of crimes against /d/

/d/ has been continously shit on by mods for years, this OC ban is just the latest.

>>7527338
>>7527344
Is there a way to automatically delete threads if they have less than say 3 images after 30 minutes? That seems like a fair window of time to me. Obviously we could change the timeframes and post limits on that.

>>7527334
Western art is a tricky issue. If it's high enough quality, I don't see the big issue. I never had a problem with western art on /d/, but enough people cared enough to split eastern and western art.

However, now it's separate, it should probably stay off /d/.

Even if we wanted to rejoin /aco/ and /d/, it would be a bad idea at this point. /aco/ is a VERY different kind of board now. Every thread is full of artists shilling themselves, and it would be very difficult to rejoin the two, and we'd lose a lot of people in the process from either side. Look at how much drama a few people getting banned caused. Now imagine all the shills being reported into oblivion for trying to charge money for crayon scratchings?

If someone cares this much about pictures on a Phillipino Pictograph forum, then you should ignore them. They are obviously not mentally stable. Hide these posts and discuss /d/.

>>7527334
Western art is very different, obviously. A lot of people really don't like it. I think it's a bit strange and I find it hard to imagine someone who hates western art so much that seeing it in a thread is as problematic as seeing scat, but seemingly a lot of people are turned off by western art enough.

Then again, this is a Hentai board. Western =/= Hentai. The separation makes sense if only from a categorization point of view.

>>7527366
Very true. I'd hate for this board to be filled with shitters shilling their own work. Especially if it was low quality ;^)

>>7527368
Maybe you should have hid those OC threads you didn't like instead of crying like a little faggot to the mods to take it down, hmmmmm?

>>7527369
That rule and others like it exist only so mods can effectively make their own rules regarding things they personally don't like. 'Post quality' is entirely subjective and it's very easy for a faggot moderator to declare he things he personally doesn't like as 'low quality contributions'.

>>7527370
I never said those OC threads were the majority of the board, I only said a minority of the userbase cried like little bitches about threads they could have hid and never had a problem with again

>>7527369
Sadly the vast majority of captions that have been produced through the /d/ community in the last 5 years, ever since the good writers left to form their own private community, have been terrible. That was proven repeatedly in the last few meta threads, at least to me. Of course you're free to disagree, that's your choice, but it doesn't change the fact that a lot of people were sick of them.

You all think it's fun and games now, but just wait. Whether you liked the now banned threads or not, the proverbial snow has shifted and it could lead to an avalanche. One day, a mod will block something else they don't like because of reasons or a vague rule. Then another. Unless individuals with a good head on their shoulders intervenes, /d/ won't even be around anymore, not truly.

Or it'll literally be /d/ for dickgirl and nothing else.

>>7527376
Hide and ignore this post. Discuss /d/.

>>7527375
Shill threads get shut down very quickly on /d/ for a reason.

>>7527379
If a thread gets that bad then it should be deleted. I liked captions but those threads had to go. What happened was not a tragedy, it was amputating an infected limb.

>>7527379
>MUH SLIPPERY SLOPE

If any thread becomes as shit as those banned threads were, I hope the mods ban them. That's what they're there for. What you're saying is basically:

>>7527383
Shit content in threads aside (I liked captions but yes it was getting bad) I mean that this can potentially be used as an excuse for mods who don't like certain fetishes can use to just leave only things they like on /d/. After all, it's not like any of us can fight back. It was talked about yes but I don't think those people realize they were literally screaming their heads off in a quarantine room.

Damn anon low blow. Though at least you didn't try to compare them to a tumble regular.

>>7527395
It could in theory be abused, but luckily that's why 4chan has a lot of oversight. It's not the same 1 or 2 mods who run a board, they rotate between boards regularly.

If a decision is made and seems permanent, then that means the majority of the mods agree with it. That would make it very difficult for a mod to abuse their power, as every other mod has a chance to step in if they want.

>>7527379
Everything the mods have done so far is, A, What they're supposed to do, B, Entirely within the rules.

Only newfags seem to think that what is happening is unexpected or unlike /d/. If you've been here a few years you know that this is a regular occurence, and is a part of /d/'s life cycle.

>>7527402
OK, but in that case how many mods are in charge of watching /d/? From what I've seen on these threads there's only two involved with this board, and only two doesn't seem to be good for this sort of thing.

I'm not saying you're wrong or anything, I just literally don't know and would like to.

>>7527334
Western piggus go home. Seriously though, western art that gets posted is 10% good quality, and really good, but 90% bad. Keeping western off of /d/ goes a long way to keeping average quality levels higher.

>>7527411
All of them. All of the mods watch /d/ at different times. So like... dozens I think?

>>7527396
Sorry, I had thought we were all above pretending to be retarded.
I don't see how calmly telling somebody how they are incorrect qualifies as being triggered.

>>7527398
You are the one who has resorted to "all caps" greentext. You are the one who has resorted to name calling. If anybody here is mad, it would seem to be you. Perhaps you should try taking some deep breaths. Maybe even make yourself a nice cup of tea, or whatever beverage that helps sooth you. Then we might be able to have a conversation.

>>7527411
I think most of the mods rotate through /d/ at some point. IIRC there's a few mods who deal with only blue boards, etc, but most of the mods have dealt with /d/ at some point.

Hence why all the arguments about everything being the fault of one or two abusive mods are so laughable, and why those morons are getting ridiculed so hard. It shows a fundamental lack of understanding of how the site works. That's not a bad thing,I mean nothing says you have to know how things work to use 4chan, but you should find out before you start criticising the way things work.

>>7527417
Hide and ignore this post, move on.

>>7527416
And the majority was OK with what went down instead of making those threads improve their content or something else?

Christ, we were fucked from the beginning. OK yeah I give up. Caption and efg is dead and we're never coming back.

I'll give you that, I guess technically abusing subjective criteria like 'post quality' is technically within the rules since they wrote that catch all into them specifically for working around the rules

>part of /d/'s lifecycle
relevant content being banished for bullshit reasons based on the personal dislike of a minority has been a regular occurrence in /d/'s life so I'll give you that too

>>7527424
Pretty sure people tried for years to get them to improve their content, but they went full on meltdown whenever anyone tried to criticise their communities. That's not surprising, as hyper-defensiveness is a symptom of a bad community. That's why I think no one was surprised by this ban (except for them obviously) the rest of /d/ probably said "yeah that was a long time coming, good riddance".

>>7527427
>vocal handful
the vast majority of people didn't care, I'm sure, and still don't

>>7527429
Then I guess my request was the last good quality content to emerge from the banned threads? Or does that sound too egotistical?

>>7527429
Same thing that happened with every banned community so far. Criticism is like Chlorine in the swimming pool.

>>7527419
couple of key words you used there main one being think. You don't know and can't know unless you are a mod which the rules disallow you from saying if you are. The point being your theory has as much weight as any other about how the mods operate. However, If they do cycle through it actually supports the idea that one or two mods implemented a policy shift during their stay on /d/ due to a lack of understanding how /d/ normally functions and that most people stick to their own threads.

>>7527434
good analogy. as soon as a community responds negatively to criticism, you know it's time to fish them out of the pool. they get defensive, people criticise more, they get more defensive, etc.

>>7527425
Let me help. That is close to how 4chan works. Most mods have a group of threads they are responsible for and rotate between them. There are ~10 mods who cover /d/ at some point or another.

>>7527435
see
>>7527440

>>7527430
Okay, so if no one here particularly cared about the threads, then why were they considered a big enough problem to be banned? No user was bothered by them, going by your logic, so then where was the problem with them? Who was being hurt by those threads existing?

>>7527424
The banned threads were always against the rules. The rules just weren't enforced. /d/ is an incredibly lenient board compared to most. That's why its so incredible to see an entire community get banned on /d/, and you know they must have really fucked up to get banned from /d/.

>>7527446
>if the majority of people don't care I broke the law then why am I being arrested

>>7527430
It's pretty hard to make that argument when the initial threads about this issue reached more than 1000 posts, even with mods autosaging them.

>>7527452
This is so stupid it hurts. Go check the number of posters in that thread, anon. 1000 posts =/= 1000 people. Then consider that many of them were probably using another device to post with a different ID.

so specifically which of /d/ 3 board specific rule did they break cause it's not western or fanart. they had alternative content found on this board and for the most part none of the image had "extreme" content. So please tell me which rule so that I can be sure to always report this rule they violated.

>>7527453
>>7527455
If you actually read the thread, there are posts saying that only the /d/rawthread had more unique IPs. A thread that constantly produces OC and is enjoyed by the majority of /d/.

>>7527353

>>7527449
Once again, show us where the rule that DEFINITIVELY, CLEARLY, CONCISELY says that caption threads and other similar content is disallowed is.

>>7527449
>>7527461
>The banned threads were always against the rules
You keep on saying that, but you have yet to tell me anything to back this up. There is no such rule on /d/, global or otherwise. Global Rule 6 is extremely vague. Even if we were to consider all captions/cyoa/etc threads as low quality, they still would not be against the rules. The rule simply states that quality is to be encouraged.

>>7527459
I was in that thread anon, and it was painfully obvious that it was a small amount of people posting using multiple IPs. That and the fact that many ISPs change your IP address when you connect, meaning that the same person could post over the course of 3 days and get 3 different IPs or more.

>>7527188
I just want the /d/ Voice threads back. /d/ finally had something new and interesting again that actually brought a lot of needed activity to the board, not to mention a lot of OC.

Low quality content, and if you read the OP, the mods reserve the right to delete anything at any time for any reason. That is a catch all rule. They can delete it for any reason. Was your community deleted for "literally any reason"? Then it was within the rules.

yeah sorry that won't fly cause non lewd CYOAs are still allowed on /tg/ and are not considered low quality posts. quests have their own board so they aren't low quality. basically global rules only work if enforced globally so saying something is shit when non /d/ versions of something aren't being banned doesn't work please try again.

>3. Western drawn/styled ("toon") pictures and fan drawn ("fanart") images are not allowed.
I recall that stupid "rule" being thrown out long ago anyway. Only a sparse few cared. Back when /aco/ was created, for the express purpose of trying to rid /d/ of "Western" art, /d/'s activity went down to nearly nothing for months, until the users of /aco/ pushed our /d/eviant content back to /d/.

Well this thread and all of these "show me the rules show me show me I bet they don't exist go on prove it to me" posts make it painfully obvious that these idiots never read the rules, even though one of those rules are posted in the OP of this fucking thread.

>>7527466
that's the crux of the argument against the ban.

Global Rule 6 simply states "The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality images and informative comments."
It says nothing about everything that is not of an arbitrarily-decided amount quality is banned. It just states that quality is to be encouraged

>>7527477
>>7527475
By that logic, everything is against the rule as mods can delete any thread.

Finally, they're beginning to understand. Welcome to 4chan now you've finally read the fucking rules and are beginning to understand them.

>>7527479
basically I acknowledge that we are at the whims of our kings(mods) and if they decide to remove a community from their kingdom we as their subjects must accept that. However if it exists on other boards it is okay by the global rules and since it does not violate /d/s rules you cannot say that the banned threads were always against the rules.

How to spot someone new with zero board knowledge.

>>7527495
How? I am telling you exactly what the rules say.
Yes mods can delete anything they want, but that does not automatically make what the mods delete against the rules.

I liked this board better when it was more inclusive of lots of different fetishes and art styles. I think the board should change the rules to be more inclusive.

I know some people really just want to restrict the board to the same fifty futa threads reposting the same 500 or so futa images from Pixiv over and over again but that's going to kill the board in the long run just like it did in the past. Don't believe me? Compare the posts per hour now since the whole /aco/ incident, which was the turning point I think. There's plenty of room here for all kinds of alternative fetishes and art styles, and even original /d/eviant content.

Keeping western art banned is integral to keeping out full-on DeviantAutists/Tumblrinas. Compare fetish threads on /d/ to their /aco/ equivalents and be appalled.

>>7527334
I like western art, hence why I also browse /aco/ but that shit was getting pretty awful. I'm glad we keep the deviantartists on their own board.

>>7527507
I feel like the problem of /d/ being 90% futa and 10% everything could be solved by mods merging or deleting duplicate futa threads, but futa will always be an extremely popular fetish. Even the currently banned threads had loads of futa related content.

>>7527524

Speak for yourself, anon. People used to directly message Moot back in the day, so why would it be crazy to do the same with Hiro?

>>7527507
I remember the days before /aco/ was a thing...The /d/rawthread was thriving, Color/Edit threads were as well, lots of fetishes lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the new mods attacked. Joking aside, the board was on life support for months. It started to pick up again around the 5 or 6 month mark because the /aco/rns sent a lot of the fetish content back to /d/ because it wasn't vanilla enough for them.

>>7527334
>How do people actually feel about western art on /d/?
I've been here for AT LEAST 10 years now, and only once every few years do I see trouble like this happen. IMO, roughly 90% of the board doesn't give a shit, especially since the /d/rawthread contains what would be considered "Western" art. Also,

>I know mods will keep enforcing that rule
Only rarely was that "rule" ever enforced in the first place. Half or more of the content on /d/ has always been "Western" content anyway. See >>7527483.

The mods responsible for /d/, multiple mods, "s", because there's a lot more than one, probably agreed on it together before posting it. That's probably why it took a while to be posted.

The vast majority of the mods would have to agree, because otherwise the other mods would intervene?

We already have reached an understanding. A decision was reached. The banned communities had years to try to get their acts together, they didn't.

So much for discussing /d/ - the meta thread has turned in on itself.

Thread tldr: mods = fags

I mean none of the arguments even make sense honestly
If you want to talk about low quality threads look at the tf or edit threads, doesnt get much worse than that.
I mean maybe this is hard to understand but /d/ is the last line for posting extreme content where threads stay up for a while and have a decent amount of quantity. /trash/ or /b/ are not boards for sharing content between users and shit on there dies to quickly to have any real threads. If you cant scroll past a fetish on this board without getting offended I dont even know what you are doing on 4chan. These are threads that have been here for a long time, I dont care for them but I actually dont understand the reason to remove them when they are not even the bottom of the barrel, and all it is going to do is just create drama threads for a couple of months. Maybe someone on the mod team really convinced everyone just that kind of content is not for /d/. Then again I thought the only content that was outlawed from /d/ was illegal shit, not hentai and furry because of the drama that follows. But hell maybe they know something I dont, but they sure as fuck didnt convey it with that half assed passive aggressive sticky

Question. If some1 posts a comic/image with text that looks like any other Manga in terms of art style but the text is left to right in the western style, does that break the rules?

>>7527283
I think the /alternative part is implying it's hentai and things related to hentai

>>7527486
yup. My argument is that the rules for /d/ should be changed to reflect what Mods believe in, instead of being intentionally vague giving them a wide scope of corruptible power to do as they please whenever they please.

You are so fucking full of shit it's leaking out your ears. What's part of /d/'s lifecycle is the mods start acting like raging faggots for no fucking reason and we have to complain to moot to fucking fire them. Captions have ALWAYS been allowed on /d/, and mods have ALWAYS been lax on the quality image criteria, especially when it comes to certain niche fetishes.

There are tons of shit images on this board right now and the mods aren't doing jack to clean it up, the "MUH QUALITY" argument is a blatant excuse for censoring content they don't like.

On what goddamned planet does adding text to the side of a /d/-worthy image somehow render that image inferior??? Where are the mods when low-res versions of images get posted????

Mods can suck my balls.

>>7527713

>allowed

The word you're looking for is TOLERATED, and even then "always" is a stretch. /d/ has gone through periods of

>someone starts to post THING
>THING technically breaks rules, but no mod action is seen as approval
>mods start to remove threads / users PRIVATELY, so the board only sees an absence of THING
>THING is no longer posted because threads are removed and users are prevented from posting

or

>THING is still posted because no official stance
>mods make a sticky with stance
>things simmer back down to TOLERANCE (lack of enforcement)

The core issue here is that /d/ has always had a tacit "shitty / western art is not allowed" stance, and the slash is the problem. Does an image have to be both "shitty" and "western" to not belong on /d/, or is one enough?

Usually, "shitty" is immediately visible - via bad art quality, for example - and that is enough. In /d/'s beginning, western fetish art WAS shitty, so the stance made sense. Similarly, the "remove 3DPD" knee-jerk reaction was justified, because early 3D CG almost universally fell into the "shitty" category. But then art quality improved and the questions began. In case of Dmitrys art, for example, "shitty" was a matter of taste, so the question became how to identify "western" art - geographically (Dmitrys is from Russia, but lives in Australia, so..?) or in terms of style. We had to have a sticky specifically call out "Dmitrys art is fine" to stem the autism, but it didn't really affect /d/aily life much - DECENT western art was still being posted and TOLERATED, because no mod is autistic enough to track down the pedigree of EVERY image.

Captions specifically have been an issue for years. Elzi, an excellent content creator, was warned and had threads deleted. The protest then wasn't this widespread, partly because Elzi just stopped coming here. Maybe banning ALL captions is a stupid stance by one autistic mod, but the other mods have stuck by it.

>It could in theory be abused, but luckily that's why 4chan has a lot of oversight.

Please tell me you don't actually believe this. The mods won't go against another mod who wants to do whatever the fuck he wants, that's be betrayal. And Hiro is taking the role of Site Owner, not Administrator, so we're basically without someone overseeing everything and a thin blue line with unlimited power.

>WE SHOULD DELETE THREADS BUT ALSO COMBINE FUTA THREADS
There's literally no way these two can coexist, because it'll just create the problem with a different fetish. There's 150 threads up at all times, but there aren't 150 allowable fetishes on /d/. This means that if futa was condensed there'd be a huge space vortex that either would fill up with futa threads anyway once image limit is reached in the condensed threads, or some other thread would proliferate to where futa is now.

Only way to change this is to shorten /d/ down to 5 pages or so. Who's with me?

>>7527696
Yes but the mods pretend it doesn't.

>>7527713
>What's part of /d/'s lifecycle is the mods start acting like raging faggots for no fucking reason

Well, this does happen every 6 months, so it is now kinda part of /d/'s modern lifecycle.

>>7527819
or, hear me out, we could bring back the threads that were removed because "there wasn't enough room and they broke 'rules'"

The CYOA threads were pretty much my only reason to visit /d/, since there's no equivalent of it allowed anywhere else. Now? There's nothing but 20 different futa threads, 3 fart threads, and a bunch of other things that I couldn't give a shit about.

>>7527949
>3 fart threads
What happened to following the quality rules, mods? Why hasn't this literal shit been moved to /trash/ yet?

>>7527672
This. There's nothing that even comes close, alt least for english-language sites. There's absolutely nothing like /d/ elsewhere. A fetish board /forum where anything goes and there's enough interested people in one place that communities and groups can naturally form is pretty much unique to here.

what i'm wondering is why the mods even purged these threads when the majority of the board was fine with ignoring it. I'm sure if someone made a gay furry-shota coprophagia thread it'd get a good amount of both reports AND users (naturally) showing their disgust.

is this board truly /d/ead?

>>7527819
Futa is hardly a fetish in my opinion, it's more a category in which different fetishes can manifest, like boy/girl. Combining them is as stupid as combining all threads with girls or all threads with boys.

I personally don't mind western art, and it seems like most of /d/ including the mods don't as well. If the users cared they'd be reporting it and janitors would be deleting it. If the mods cared about enforcing all the rules, the catalog wouldn't look like this.

>>7527980
>If the users cared they'd be reporting it and janitors would be deleting it. If the mods cared about enforcing all the rules, the catalog wouldn't look like this.
Fallacy.

>>7527986
Which part is wrong? Is it the users do care, but won't report? The users do report, but jannys don't delete? Or the mods do care about the rules, but western art is actually allowed?

>>7527994
Also a fallacy.

>>7527994
Expecting quality moderation is a fallacy. If it's on the rules page, it's ignored (i.e. furry, the constant shitposting Nazi threads), but if it's against the mods' internalized shitlist, it's killed on sight.

>>7528010
Another fallacy. Don't expect people to take you seriously with these "high quality" arguments. Not saying that I'm presenting good arguments though, because merely pointing out fallacies is a fallacy, but like I said I implied, I won't take you seriously.

>>7527812
>that's be betrayal

>>7527334
there were two kind of western art before /aco/ : dmitry's things that got reposted as soon as the previous thread 404'd and shit.

I'm not really following the meta stuff but I have a simple question: where else on the internet is gathered a community around lewd CYOAs comparamble to /d/ one? I'm not complaining about the new rule or anything, I just need my fix <.<

>>7527427
>a very vocal handful hated
anyone cared about that? The only dude in support of those bans here is just swallowing mods' dicks, he isn't saying anything about the content.

>>7528064
I believe a couple went to /trash/, but I think it wasn't all. I guess most are just not posting anywhere really. Then again, I didn't really care where they went, so I could've just missed it.
>>7528065
That's not even a fallacy, that's just straight up wrong.

Why do niche fetishes always end up building a thin skinned community of crybabies?

Why is there always a sizable group that cannot handle people not treating text pasted on an unrelated image as the same quality as an original comic?

Why are you so determined to make/keep 4chan into the same kind of echo-chamber circlejerk that every other internet community is?

>>7527967
4chan as a whole is dead. It isn't a niche community of specific weirdos anymore. Normals come to 4chan to be mean on the internet and they come to /d/ to see "tee hee so wacky and random porn"

I am sure older users had similar feelings about newcomers nearly a decade ago. This must be what it is like to get old.

>>7528076
Niche fetishes mean that you're even less "normal" than people with other fetishes. Being less normal basically means you're more mentally ill. More mentally ill means less emotionally stable.
Also, smaller communities are more likely to create a hugbox because creating fights has a higher chance of destroying that community than it does with larger communities.
Those are my absolutely incredibly well thought out opinions.

>>7528013
are you acting like an insufferable turd who is constantly consulting the reddit debate club wiki to troll?

>>7528081
There is a certain amount of difficulty in getting people who are sexually aroused by being forced to consume garbage to ask for higher than garbage-quality content.

>>7528080
/d/ is the safe space where normal people can come to fap to dicks without feeling too gay. That's the only explanation I can see for the recent spate of "GENERAL FUTA THREAD sorry guys I only have 3 pictures, help a brother out."

>>7528062
There was the third category, which was banished to /aco/ and since kicked back out to here. Western alternative fetish art of acceptable quality. All of it either good enough quality that few got offended by it, nice enough that the fans weren't going to report it, or weeb enough that it didn't look out of place. The Octoboys, Modesevens, Necrosmos, and JADFs of the world. The kind of artists who post their stuff on Pixiv despite not being Japanese, and wh o produce content for fetishes that are underrepresented in legit nip art (like hyper-size male, or shortstacks)

>same quality as an original comic

You mean the thousands of doujins and manga with lines like

>ufufu, you really like this, don't you?
>I'll never give up, you demon!
>My hips are moving on their own!
>I'm being defeated by the dick!
>Uwahhh get me pregnant with your baby senpai!
>I'm coming! [x3]

If you think doujins in their original form or in translation are anything but the lowest-quality smut in the world, you are a fucking retard.

>>7528069
>Guy asks a legit question about where to relocate to offsite

Wow, you're a fucking cunt.

>>7527384
The first part, while I think could be arguable, was OK. Then you lost me with the ghost noises.

>>7528080
Literally this. It happens to every community as it ages and gains popularity, though, so it was always just a matter of time. Oh well. At least /vr/ has some life left in it even if it is 75% overrun.

>>7527384
>If any thread becomes as shit as those banned threads were, I hope the mods ban them.
Don't worry, as long as fart threads are still around this won't happen.

>>7528160
I was actually using the fallacy fallacy.
>>7528162
He didn't ask for an offsite location perse, and I gave the best answer I could while clarifying why my answer could be sub-optimal. Any "shitting on" was not meant to be part of the post, and I'm sorry if the original poster of the question got that impression.

>dickgirls got a containment board
>western art got a containment board

So how come captions or erotic fiction don't? I can accept they're never coming back to /d/ (even though I don't agree, but I sure as hell can't argue or civilly discuss anything with the mods after the shit that went down) but c'mon don't send them to /trash/. While recent stuff was bad it DID have some good content.

And /b/? Hate, dislike, troll, etc. the people from the banned threads all you want, but don't compare them to those freaks.

>>7528169
No, the fallacy fallacy is where you argue that someone is wrong because they used a fallacy, instead of that their points were actually incorrect.

As in:
>"Everyone knows 1 + 1 = 2"
>"A ha! You're just appealing to authority! That's a fallacy so, 1+1 must not equal 2"
It's not just claiming somebody has a fallacy in their posts without elaborating.

>>7528188
It costs more to make a new board than is lost by driving away traffic.

>>7528198
Does it really? A new board, especially one focused on writing and text should hardly cost anything at all. If something like a NSWF /lit/ was made, I'm sure it would have less images per thread than the average board. Additionally, there would likely be less people viewing those images, so the bandwidth in either direction should be negligible. We know mods are shared across boards, so no new staff would need to be taken onboard. So where exactly would the costs be? Sure Hiro's not paying some fixed cost per board, right?

>>7527196
Too harsh, how do you know if the person asking for source have never contributed before on the board? If you don't want to bother with it, just filter it with 4chanX or whatever.

>>7528209
Depending on how much is written, text can still take up a decent chunk of space, so they'd have to set aside space for how big it could potentially be, not how big it is. So I'm pretty sure there's a fixed base cost, though I don't know what it would be. Then again, I was being sarcastic, and with Hiro making redundant boards like /aco/, /qst/, and /bant/ while also complaining about server costs, who the fuck knows.

>>7528218
>how do you know if the person asking for source have never contributed before on the board?
Wait, how does that matter? The post they're getting banned for is still annoying as fuck.

>>7528219
making /qst/ a red board would be a good start

>>7528223
>Being this triggered over a post that easy to ignore
Yeah, it's dumb, but does it really fucking matter to that degree?

>>7528228
Can you just answer my question please?

>>7528232
The question of how it matters? It doesn't, but neither does the post. If it doesn't matter, then why should it be a ban?

>>7528233
>The question of how it matters? It doesn't
Okay, thanks.

>>7527188
I think the biggest issue on /d/ right now is the presence of a bunch of newfags who keep bumping content threads off the board so they can endlessly bitch about every little thing they dislike.

>>7528235
Can you just answer my question please?

>>7528236
Yeah, the mods are a huge problem.

>>7528236
Eh, it's one thread. And with the amount of shitposting in here they generally reach bump limit in less than a day.
>>7528237
No, because I don't care enough about that to have an opinion either way.

>>7528240
>BAN EVERYONE WHO DOES THING
>Why?
>OH I DONT CARE BUT DO IT ANYWAY
Good look.

>>7528240
It's a circlejerk of whiny malcontents. If I wanted to see that, I'd go to fucking reddit.

>>7528219
>Depending on how much is written, text can still take up a decent chunk of space
Text is negligible on 4chan. There's a 2000 character limit here so most people who do any amount of writing more than a greentext, go offsite and post a ling. Hypothetically, if every singe person in the thread made all their posts the maximum size allowed. It would take almost 2000 posts to equal the amount of space taken up by one maximum size image. One single image in /hr/ probably takes up more data than all the text on /d/.

>>7528243
>It's a circlejerk of whiny malcontents.
I see this is your first day on 4chan.
>If I wanted to see that, I'd go to fucking reddit.
Good attempt, though.

>>7528223
Because the person might be the one who have posted hundred of images and then got banned because he annoyed one person in that thread.

Is there any board enforcing the 'ask for source & no image = ban' rule? There's none, then why would /d/ be the only one with that rule?

>>7528245
To be fair, I don't go to /pol/, either.

>>7528244
150 threads with 300 (we'll use a low estimate) posts each, with 2000 characters each. 90000000 characters. It's probably still not much, but that's still a bit of room to manage. The possibility of images thrown in, it's enough to be considerable.

>>7528246
>There's none, then why would /d/ be the only one with that rule?
Because this is where the mods go when they want to wag their e-peen.

>>7528246
Most boards do enforce it, but only if you started out the thread with a request. Unless you're asking for anime recommendations on /a/, people begging for sauce in the middle of the thread generally don't get punished.

>>7528241
>>BAN EVERYONE WHO DOES THING
You're implying that I said that, while I didn't. I just jumped in the conversation. I thought that was clear by me starting with "Wait, ...", and the "original" post being from fucking 15 hours ago. I just wanted to know the thing I asked about.
>>7528246
>Because the person might be the one who have posted hundred of images and then got banned because he annoyed one person in that thread.
That's not an answer, that's just detailing a hypothetical situation. If they break the rules, they should face the consequences. If the consequences for that rule was a ban of 2 months, then so be it regardless of prior posts.

>Is there any board enforcing the 'ask for source & no image = ban' rule?
It's enforced occasionally. But we were talking about a situation where it was enforced.

>>7528115
judging by the traffic lately, I guess doujins aren't allowed on /d/. They used to be, but now they aren't.

>>7528253
I'm 99% sure they are allowed.

>>7528253
They're allowed even though they break the rule about having text on an image.

>>7527196
/tg/ here, for... reasons. We're much in the same boat, dealing with a fairly constant /pol/ incursion, and a whole lot of shitposting that the mods don't deal with because they're usually too /tg/ for the mods to recognize them as normal bait, because mods do very little with

Our Meta Thread always devolves into an argument about Quests and if they should be brought back, which inevitably leads to the thread being deleted, and leading nowhere to resolving any of our issues.

>>7528256
There is no rule like that.

>>7528259
>>7509079
>"Caption" threads are being disallowed on /d/
Captions are text on images. Therefore, text on images is banned. Therefore, doujin pages with text should be banned.

>>7528263
Yes, it's a rule if you jump through 3 logic hoops.

>>7528264
>It's a rule if you use logic
Exactly.

>>7528076
If I may provide some insight because I am into some very niche things, although not the text stuff.
When it's niche it's hard to find, so when you find a good source of content, discussion, and community, you become attached to it for yer jerkin requirements.
I, not being a thin-skinned faggot, simply find it a pain in the ass when my fetishes get banished (whether for legit reasons or not), because I have to find a new place to set up shop.

>>7528253
They're fine as long as they are untranslated or have the words edited out.

>>7528263
>dipshit mod doesnt know the difference between a caption and a translation

>>7528339
Same.

>>7528359
The meme has become reality, amazing. We're gonna reach a point where pictures have to be posted twice, once in japanese to prove it's not a caption, and once so people can read it.

>>7528339
>I, not being a thin-skinned faggot,
Well, since you're not a mod, you don't matter. Tough luck.

>>7527276
because your stupid ERP's are ruining the goddamn board. Even the goddamn busty boy generals are just a bunch of fucking trannies going on. Post fucking boys with tits, I don't fucking care about your manboobs. I hate mod overreach, but I think that they did the right thing by just fucking slamming censorship and caption generals with low quality futa edits and shitty ms paint caption art.

Furthermore, I come here to fap, not to have you fucking autists arguing about "Muh freakinweirdo." Stop posting the "hide all freakinweirdo posts" image and not actually doing it fuckwits.

And stop being fucking pests by posting male stuff in a thread that doesn't want it, then throwing fucking shitfests when people called you out. They asked you to stop, so be a fucking decent person and respect that, or go to /trash/ if you want to be a fucking nuisance.

Seriously, this is a PORN board. If you want to argue and be autistic (moreso than usual) GO SOMEWHERE ELSE>>7527301

>>7528396
That's an awful lot of words to say nothing but FETISHES I DONT LIKE SHOULD LEAVE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Also why do you think your opinion matters if you're just a board visitor and not an actual board user?

>>7528398
You must have something wrong with you if you can't fart without shitting yourself.

>>752839
*you're

but seriously, why does your opinion matter man, you're the one who is just a board visitor, I can tell on this anonymous imageboard because I have more autism points

>>7528398
If you think it's scat go report it, and see where that goes. If it doesn't get deleted, then the mods have spoken and it's acceptable on /d/. At least for 6 more months.

>>7528401
>I come here to fap
You said it yourself senpai, you come, cum, then leave. Visitor, not user.

>>7528403
this is a porn board

>>7528404
Someone who sticks around and uses the board for more than the five minutes it takes to jerk off.

>>7528404
A person who both visits and posts often, instead of passively lurking.

I think the mod who made that post had a good sense of humor.

The biggest issue for me personally is the insane amount of futa threads. Sure, I might not be into futa, but does it really need to take over 90% of the board? Cant we just have a couple of mega threads on it? Usually they're just the same dmitry pictures anyway. We've had the futa spammer going on for years now.

>>7528415
see >>7527819

>/d/ is first and foremost an imageboard for alternative hentai, and as such the majority of content posted here should be in image form.
>collaborative fiction, and threads that are primarily for chatting also should not be started on /d/ or the porn imageboards in general.

but >>7461231
is perfectly fine

fuck this gay ass mod

I also want to know of an alternate website to post CYOA shit.

Can I post it on TG if it doesn't have any images on it? And also; is gay content still acceptable? If traps and bi shit is then gay shit should be.

>>7528115
If you can't see the difference between that and someone dropping a bunch of text over the latest excrement out of deviant art, then no wonder you're defending this.

>>7528104
So are you going to give an example of a "quality" western artist?

>>7528729
Well, quality is subjective, so we're unlikely to come to an agreement on who is good enough. However, we do have a close approximation to an objective measure of quality, and that is "Which artists the /d/ mods allow". As arbiters of worth who we all (in theory) trust to make judgements of acceptable levels of quality, anything they allow must be considered acceptable quality, since if it was low quality they'd purge it like the caption threads.

So, judging by the fact that there is a thread solely devoted to this one specific western artist active in /d/ right now, at the very least, ModeSeven must be considered "quality".

>>7528257
we really REALLY need a way to remove and replace shit moderators. Maybe some way to have the actual community vote on stuff would be good, too.

>>7528776
lol gb2reddit

>>7528776
It would never work, you know that. People are just too dedicated to trolling. Any poll on the internet can be rigged with enough autistic effort (of which there's no shortage around here), and people would constantly be trying to depose the mods just for shits and giggles regardless of whether they were good or not.

>>7528442
then report it and stop whining

>>7528798
at least this guy understands polls are a bad idea. they dont understand WHY but they get that you shouldnt make them on 4chins.

Just ignore these threads anon. Take a look at the start of the thread. It got hijacked ~30 posts in despite people saying "Ignore them" over and over.

REMINDER

All your bitching and whining is pointless. Follow this flow chart. If you think your problem can't be solved by this flow chart, you are the problem.

>>7528076
Because anon, they have no coping mechanisms. So even getting their special snowflake fetish banned on a website is a MASSIVE FUCKING TRAGEDY and a SERIOUS VIOLATION OF THEIR RIGHTS.

They have no sense of scale, no sense of self awareness, how others percieve them. They are essentially reactionary little balls of emotion who screech at anyone or anything they don't like, because as far as they're concerned, if they don't like it, that makes it bad, and the entire world should have to stop, pay attention, and fix things they don't like.

Their opinion outweighs everyone elses, especially people who know better, because "we're screeching louder so we're more upset so we're the most important".

It is the height of mongoloidetry run rampant.

My favourite thing about this entire ban ordeal has been watching their communities slowly grow more and more hateful and spiteful. This in turn has pretty much guarunteed they will never get unbanned, because who wants the kind of people posting in these threads on their board?

>>7528807
>inb4 WAAAAH REPORTING DOES NOTHING

If you're about to post this, then you have missed the point of the flowchart entirely.

how much do you want to bet that the people complaining that the mods aren't doing shit in this thread are not reporting things to the mods?

Can we get back to /d/ related discussions now? Have all the faggots crawled back into their fucking holes?

Right. Does anyone think we need a male/female/futa divide for fetishes? I think not.

>>7528830
Just ignore them anon. The only reason they shitpost in these threads is to try to pretend they're still relevant.

>>7528830
they're idiots, but responding just makes them feel like people care

best thing to do is realize they don't matter, because they don't, and ignore them

they want replies so they can try to retain some level of importance on this board, so just ignore them

>>7528830
Just ignore them like everyone else on this board is doing.

>>7528830
You'd be amazed how tolerable these threads become when you hide literally every single thing they say.

I think it depends on the fetish. Some fetishes are gender based. A lot of stuff doesn't need gender divides though.
