I don't even want to be making pony threads on every fucking board, I just want to be able to use pony reaction images without getting banned.

autismos crying about ponies are the ones who should be punished for being fascist anti-free speech pieces of shit, not us.

>>28421390
G15 needs to stay, because if it fully went away, (meaning /mlp/ goes away) it would destroy other boards as we flood up /co/, /d/, whatever.

That being said, I do think the rule should be much relaxed. For example, I think it is ridiculous that no pony doll discussion is allowed on /toy/, even of the old gen. People used to collect the old gen stuff, and most of /toy/ approved of GoH, as they just saw them as good toys, not "REEE PONY". And I'm sure /co/ is going to be forced to watch the FiM movie, as it'll be the only non CGI animated movie released on the big screen in some time. So I'm sure many people want to see it for that reason.

So I think it should be regulated so most pony stuff is directed here, but small discussion is allowed on other boards where it fits.

>>28421531
We can still have the board and get rid of the rule. The board would absorb most of the alleged shit Barneyfag and his ilk are paranoid about.

>>28421535
It's fine as a patsy.

Also >>28421531 concerns, we're not as big a topic for /b/ to use anymore. We're 250 people at best, many of which aren't really trolls to the other boards.

Remove rule15 and /mlp/ with it.

Hiro will do nothing. /j/ can do whatever they want.

I just don't get why there can't be a sticky with the current rules and disallowed threads or anything. It's clear since the second scruffening that there are new rules, but they're not being applied evenly, and the "no roleplaying/no non-show related" thing doesn't make sense in relation to what stays up and what gets deleted.

Even if the mod came and said "fuck you here are my rules", that'd be cool. At least it would be public knowledge.

We definitely need the sticky back, along with some info for fags new to the show and/or the board.

He made 2channel.
While studying in the US.
One of the biggest Japanese sites, dwarfing even 4chan, was controlled by him from his dorms in the US.

The thing is, he doesn't want to shit things up just like he was mostly hands-off with 2channel.

Just how big a site was 2channel?

>>28422390
moot created 4chan from his room while studying too, and he was extremely hands-off as well.
Sure the site got super big, but the quality took a nosedive.

>>28422413
i think 2chan is pretty big but only in japan, since only japanese people can post there. any other country is banned

>>28422414
the only difference is moot was more "user-friendly" since he always tried to be in contact with his userbase.

>>28422413
>Just how big a site was 2channel?
About an order of a magnitude bigger than 4chan.

It's still retardedly huge, though it's in a regression because of Hiro's actions (selling them out).
Basically almost everyone online in a country of 127 million visits that shit daily.
Compare that with 4chan's "measly" 250 000 people online on a good day.

They're a bit faster on the news and such. Basically a sped up version of us with a bajillion boards and no pictures.

I'm sorry, what? moot never fucking spoke, he was absolutely terrible at communication. His policy was doing things in the background to not disturb the boards and not talking to the users.

This wasn't helped by the fact that whenever he said something the next minute the thread is overrun with 1000 shitposts.

>hiro only talked when he took over the site, and then he was silent most of the time. now it's trying to leave by the backdoor saying we are the ones responsable for fucking up the site
If anything hiro talks slightly more than moot, though it's not much better.
hiro tries to engage a little in the conversation and answer people, he just never takes any actions.
moot just replied to make jokes and answer some easy questions every other year.

>That's what happens when you only quarter-enforce a rule that let's people believe the rule never exists, then have to actually enforce it.
When page 2 is the last page because 8 other pages worth of threads have been deleted, you know there's a problem with the rules.

>>28422544

This isn't /pol/

>>28422546
So they can shitpost.
I kind of understand and I'm indifferent to this idea.
On one hand outside of /mlp/ most of my reaction folder is useless. It would also drive barneyfag to an hero.

On the other side removing GR15 makes /mlp/ useless. If you deleat GR15, you have to deleat /mlp/ and allow it back in /co/, and we don't want that.

>>28422595

But how about we delete rule 15 and change /mlp/ to /cog/

>>28422633
not a good idea
MPLG would be there, sure, but we would have SUG, TLHG, and even a barney general just to spite us
we just become /vg/, but with more hate between generals

>>28422595
Or /mlp/ could stay, I don't understand why you insist /mlp/ would have to be deleted without GR15. All discussion and shitposting still goes here, you just won't be banned for posting a reaction image elsewhere.

The only change GR15 does is ban innocuously posting a certain genre of reaction image, which I think is absolutely ridiculous.

>>28422856
The answer is a gun is ponychan or hugboxers probably.
I thought it was bullshit, but now it seems that lurkers are all fucking hugboxers and they get triggered by muh porn.
Making the board red could save the quality of posting, since only the anons that are what we want here (real horsefuckers, not wanna be that just want a stupid hugbox and to fit in that hate gore and all that questionable shit). The downside is that maybe it will slow down the board way too much.
But who knows, maybe this way we regain our reputation of not family friendly site.

>>28422896
I'm really torn on that issue. Sure, I wouldn't mind seeing some horse pussy and weeding out some of the eqd fags and kids. On the other hand I'm afraid it will also lead to a lot of anthro shitposting and all the porn dump generals would be just another thing to filter. If I wanna have a fap I'll take my stash or check derpi where I can actually search for stuff. If you're drawing something nsfw you can always just post an imgur link or something, that's not bannable. I don't really see many reasons to allow porn here.

>>28422876

A couple years ago you could have argued that Sigourney just doesn't want anything that could look like furryshit on 4chan, but now that we have >>>/trash/ it's getting pretty silly.

Kids love doing "forbidden" things.

>>28423020
I'm thinking of things like the eqg edits threads, lewd threads, etc
You're right that we don't have many outright porn dump threads, but if say spoilered NSFW was allowed, would it really be used differently than linked NSFW?
The rule sounds a bit arbitrary.

>>28421276
This. First post is best post.

>>28423060
The kind of kids and hugboxers that are our cancer hate those things.
posting quality of pony threads in /trash/ is much better than here.
Not many can stand a fucking horsepussy in their face unless they actually want to fuck it.

Our bolshevik /mlp/ though it's pretty dead for like a years now has only one porn general, where shit like anthro is allowed as well as any porn, and the rest of the board is only for hooves and horse pussy. So it's obviously red, but with anthro in reservation.
Mb we need something like that?

>>28423086
>Not many can stand a fucking horsepussy in their face unless they actually want to fuck it.
I can definately stand it, if the picture is well-drawn in general and pleases my eye.

>>28423086
I don't personally mind any of that, but I've seen enough to know that "shock" pictures don't scare anyone away.

You're making a "us vs them" dichotomy and paintaing a lot of different people as ponychan, kids, hugboxers etc.

Please understand that most posters are not actually clinically retarded just because they disagree with you. Shitposters are not going to leave because of a naked horses or dead body art.
It's easier to put other people in a box and call them stupid without trying to see their point, but it's wrong.

>>28423044
I'm not seeing that. Sure, NSFW content is not allowed, but a link itself is not NSFW. That's up for speculation, I guess, but since I've never seen that enforced I always assumed it's okay.
>>28423060
I'd say our current problem is more newfags and redditors/eqdfags or from whatever hole these people come from that would turn away if this place got a little bit more of an edge, however shitty that sounds.
>eqg edit thread
yeah, that's a good example.
The solution imo needs to be a bit more nuanced. Allow spoilered NSFW since if people want to post something they can just post a link anyway, but disallow porn dump threads.

>>28423118
Janitor in /vp/ used to delete my links for poke porn, and even suggestive art.
They sometimes even delete threads that are well known to hide porn too, like in here.

>>28423044
I like to think newfag babies that don't want NSFW want it gone but think links are allowed and oldfags just don't snitch.

That's the problem, there's no single hole newfags have been crawling from.
When a community gets bigger or older, more and more people start coming from everywhere, and it inevitably turns to shit.
It's called cancer, and as far as I know, nobody's found a chemo yet.

Again, look at >>>/b/. It's as not safe for work, edgy, gorey as you want.
It's the fastest, biggest, and worse board by far.
A containment board full of kids.

Why don't we put the red board on trial?
That way we can see if it works, if it doesn't then we revert back to SFW.
You anons say porn and shocking shit doesn't get rid of hugboxers, but it killed ponychan, which was a cancerous hugbox of fags that probably don't even watch the show.
and the other pone board that allows porn under spoilers pone does just fine, the only downside is that it is super slow.

I agree, actually. I think the rules are arbitrary and silly given what we already have on the board.
But I don't think blueboarders are all 12 year olds from ponychan.
If you look at other boards, porn dumps don't really help with the post quality.

>>28423137
Key difference here is that most people who invade from other shitholes couldn't handle that kind of posts. Having this board red would help A LOT with that. The ones that can find themselves in it probably weren't the worst cancer to begin with.

>>28423137
That's just what /b/ was, is and always will be. I was an underage browsing /b/ in '06-'08 as well, it's a phase a teenager on the internet has to go through. But it serves its purpose well, when you hear about that epic 4chan with all the maymays, you always go to /b/, and maybe [r9k] and /pol/ nowadays too. It's a place full of edgy kids, and that in turn attracts more edgy kids. There's not much of a spill over, or I would like to believe that at least.
On the other hand we don't have a problem with newfags coming here trying to be all edgy and shit, quite the opposite I'd say. Allowing NSFW, even if spoilered, could tip the scales a little bit, hopefully.

You're happily ignoring the fact that literally everyone can handle porn and gore. I have a whole folder of shitty gore I got from /b/ when I was still <ageb&.
Sure, some ponychan people would wine and throw a fit, but that's already not the people that browse /mlp/, those people went to MLPChan as I understand it.

After Lauren, I saw a pretty large wave of newfags. People who didn't know anything about 4chan, the kind of people that would put their real email in the email field...
We have less newfriends nowadays, maybe.

/trash/ is mostly /fur/ and low level /b/ /s4s/ shit. And it's purpose was to eliminate threads that violated rules but were not bad. Roll threads, pony and furry porn, etc.

>>28423221
Actually we tried to overtake the board, but Hiro told people to tone it down.
So no, /trash/ isn't synonym with /clop/.
I liked the idea though, despite the fucking bullshit name, that Hiro actually wants to get into an agreement instead of dismissing us.

I doubt Hiro gives in, and like some anons said, if the rule is removed then we won't have other choice than to go to /b/ and /co/ where people will throw a bitch fit all day long.

>>28423269
I don't go to MLPChan or height chan regularly, but they've never been very fast, especially since the fandom seems to be slowing down as a whole.

The ones who came here and stayed are probably not any worse than the people who came from EQD three years ago and stayed.
The annoying ones tend to stay away from icky 4chan with all its horrible people, anyways.

>>28423284
That's why I think you have a "us vs them" mentality.
I don't personally mind any of that. I'd be for spoilered porn because I think it's no different than linked porn.
But I don't agree than it would make anyone run away, or than everyone who disagrees comes from ponychan.
That's my position.

>>28423295
I'm not saying delete /mlp/.

Just remove GR15 when it comes to pony reaction images but keep /mlp/ for pony threads. Basically make /mlp/ into /vp/.

No. People on this site are still strongly against MLP, familia. It's become part of this site's culture just like h8ing on furries despite the fact that they have a small presence on 4chan. Those fuckers had it rougher and it's been over 10 years.
While barneyfag can cause shit for the most inane thing, a lot of people on this site are still against MLP. Hiro asked /b/ if they wanted MLP allowed there and there was a strong push-back against it being allowed there.
Hiro has also been a lot more stricter with GR15 than m00t, I think. There were certain boards that allowed MLP as long as it fit the theme of the board and it was humanized and that was allowed for like three years. Since Hiro took over that is not the case anymore and you can get banned.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, don't you think we aren't the ones who are to deside the global rules? Like for a whole fucking site? Only by our opinion? Just a hint for you.

Daily reminder that everyone who wants GR15 gone hasn't been here long enough.

RED LIGHTS! Turn on the red lights!
And yeah, it's nice idea to just enforce spoilers on everything like anthro and guro, whomever baiting or not it came from.

>>28423339
Hiro has proven he's been open to feedback, and has even created boards at the urging of users (/his/). He's open to discuss about sidewide issues.

All we have to do is present a unified front. Have the users of this board become so affected by Stockholm Syndrome that they think having an entire avenue of SFW images banned from the rest of the site is a good idea?

Remove the anthro rule.
Make it a red board.
No one gets banned anymore for stupid shit. Like the janitor playing favorites for Pencil's comic yet removing EQG posts.

It's funny how people here complain about GR15 but I bet they're the same people who are okay with the anthro ban and would like to see EG banned.

>>28423378
EQG is almost strictly used for shitposting.

>>28423372
Contrary to popular belief, nor/mlp/eople aren't all shitposters. The ones spamming chikun or breaking GR15 for fun are mostly /b/tards.

Point is, we wouldn't mind not having GR15 but everyone else would, and that would just turn half the site into a salt mine.
The whole reason we have this board is because other boards can't cope with Ponies.

>>28423324
Being still butthurt about ponies after six years is fucking dumb, and the GR15 is just giving them the excuse and justification to be mad. Remove GR15, weather the next few weeks of shitstorm, and we're done. Barneyfag can kill himself for all I care, either move on or fuck off.

We can't really decide the board rules either.

>>28423394
You don't see anything wrong with that?
It's hipocritical calling for the removal of one rule banning certain material while supporting another one that bans relevant material.
Anthro makes up a pretty good chunk of MLP fan art.
By your same train of thought GR15 should never be done away because /mlp/ exists.

Pretty much.

Pony reaction images, just like smug anime faces and other reaction images that trigger the ever-loving shit out of some autists are a part of what makes image-board a fucking imageboard.
What we are not, however, is a furry fansite and as such, all furry shit (i.e. anthro) should be kept banned site-wide just like it always has been.

>>>/fur/

>>28423342
Pony being posted doesn't get as many replies like before.
People just stopped giving a shit for the most part.
I have seen it posted a lot in other boards just to piss people off and the one that causes a fucking drama is always the barneyfag.
And he would be gone if the rule was removed.

Last time we tried that, it didn't last "a few weeks", and it ended with a purpose built containment board.

>>28423392
>The whole reason we have this board is because other boards can't cope with Ponies.
Outside of a few dedicated anti-pony shitposters nobody on the site even gives a fuck about ponies anymore. If it weren't for Barneyfag, most threads where ponies are posted would continue as normal. There have been dozens of threads where a pony is the OP and discussion continues as normal until Barneyfag shows up.

You're making it seem like the entirety of 4chan is represented by Barneyfag and the autists on /qa/. I guarantee you that if GR15 was removed, after a brief shitstorm the site would get over it, like they should have done 5 fucking years ago.

The rule in and of itself is keeping the pony hate going, like a perpetual motion machine. Remove it and the pony hate goes as well.

>>28423231
>>28423255
But let's be real here, have you ever heard of any incidences where anons have had content redirected there? I've frequented /qa/ before /trash/ existed and haven't seen any threads or posts being off topic. Even if it's happened before anons from /s4s/ or /b/ are unlikely to crossboard just to partake in some stupid get thread.

>>28423256
You think /clop/ could ever coincide with /trash/ as a sticky?

>>28423407
>Four years and counting
Exactly.

>>28423417
Problem is that every other board has newfags too which are conditioned to be outraged by images of cartoon horses, while they have no reason to (having seen pre-GR15 is a valid reason and only that is). Just like our newfags who say it's bullshit that GR15 is there, they haven't seen pre-GR15.

>>28423407
>We aren't the ones who can decide the global rules.
Right.
>We can't really decide the board rules either.
Wrong.
Sorry, but I think you are just trying to start a demagoguery.

Would removing GR15 really kill the barneyfag? Even if it wasn't against the rules, he'd still get triggered and start spamming and ban evading until the thread gets deleted to shut him up.

>>28423417
That's not true, familia.
Barneyfag causes a big ruckus but that doesn't mean people "stop giving a shit". Most people do the correct thing and report it and move on but if you asked the other boards if they would be okay with the removal they would tell you no.
People still do give a shit and the general population doesn't want it gone.
It's in the same boat as furry shit except they weren't given a board.

>>28423421
The fandom is nowhere near as large as it was back then, and ponies aren't some new fad like in 2011. It's been almost 6 fucking years. Anybody who still cares about pony images is more autistic than bronies themselves.

Having a rule that caters to and fuels posters like Barneyfag's nonstop obsession isn't good. He's stated multiple times that if GR15 was removed he'd quit.

>>28423446
>Would removing GR15 really kill the barneyfag?
Yes. He's only here because he feels he's on the side of the moderation team. Being abandoned by them would finally make him stop.

>>28423388
This is wrong in every way. There's a few generals up that are EQG related and they have nothing to do with shit posting. Only anti EQG fags use it to shitpost.

Most people stopped sperging out when they see a pony pic because they know it's bait and replying would just bring more pony pics.

But I can guarantee you if GR15 is abolished it will be a neverending site-wide butthurt fest. Autists don't get used to things.

It's not just barneyfag. People still can't get over anime images either, and that's been allowed for more than a decade.

>>28423382
I like to work on the philosophy of "ban as little as possible".

True.

And this is the crux of the whole problem.
If we can find a way of removing GR15 and have the rest of the site fine, I'd love it.
As it stands, that doesn't seem possible. I still insist it needs to go, one way or another.

>>28423421
Last time was when MLP was the hottest shit around. It's $current_year. /mlp/ would still exist for all your pony needs, removing GR15 would only cause some shitposting until people would get bored and learn to deal with it. Jannies and mods would have to work overtime for a while, whoop de fucking doo.

>>28423465
>But I can guarantee you if GR15 is abolished it will be a neverending site-wide butthurt fest. Autists don't get used to things.

What if the mod team simply deleted posts reacting in a butthurt manner to a simple image, as well as deleted images and threads who's only purpose is to troll? Is that asking too much?

Then maybe the idiots will stop getting mad? Sort of like how the Undertale shitposting died down a while back. Same with SU. Maybe if you don't give the spergs a rule to validate their hate they'll move on to something else?

Why does everyone who participates in this discussion not know what it was like when GR15 wasn't a thing?

>>28423416
But doesn't that apply to pony shit as well?
I just find it funny t b h.
I was browsing one of the pr0n boards and there was some faggot complaining that his humanized MLP pictures kept being taken down. Anyhow I was playing the devil's advocate and told him what if I started posting furry porn in the thread and he said something about reporting it and that it would bring furries.
That same line of thinking could be apply to those pics he posted instead bringing bornies.
Furries really don't have that big of a presence outside of /trash/ and even on /b/ they're not as present as they used to be.
Either way it's stupid to ban that shit when it fits the theme of the board. I think one of /aco/ biggest mistake was banning a good chunk of western animated porn. I just think that being okay with an anthro ban while wanting GR15 to be done away with is dumb dumb.

Doesn't it make perfect sense? There is more "inspiration" drawn, as you said, as well as more fedora edgelords with katanas showed up theirs, who furiously fap to anything japaneese. So, naturally, there is more who are disgusted or/and buttblasted. And the thing is, that there are almost no "i don't give a fuck" anons: only either weeaboos or haters.

And speaking of western cartoons - no, not at all. Everyone (sane) there is used to shitting on everything soviet or native, even after CRIMEAISOUR, as oposed to western products.

Of course 4chan is about having fun, but guess what it turns into when the rules are "ZOMG NONE!!!!"?

I hate nazi moderation as much as the next guy, but you need to have limits somewhere or everything turns into /b/.

I wouldn't exactly call that expected considering a Russian has a much better shot at learning Japanese (both are phonetic languages, no need to get used to any new pronunciation habits, most people living there are at least bilingual,...) than someone from the US does and the more into it boards like /m/ do have quite a good amount of people who speak Moon and help with translations for old anime.

I was in 4chan since /co/ days, and before fags like you that bitched and moaned about muh porn and shit were so fucking whinny, we used to slip porn in the /co/ generals and other fucked up shit. That's what made 4chan different from any other stupid forum, people did whatever the hell they wanted, not followed the stupid rules.
Rules were just fucking words nobody gave a shit about, you enforce them like the fucking Bible. Kill yourself.

>I haven't come across anyone who would say that 2012 /mlp/ was a bad thing. The Scruffening attracted all kinds of filth.
2012 /mlp/ was a small board, and if you've ever visited any other board you'll know that the bigger a board gets, the worse shitposting gets.
Small boards don't need many rules because the community can still agree together, that's not true anymore.

It was better before because we were smaller, and we were a real community.

>>28423855
So you probably have hundreds of bans and so do I, but what worked in 2011 doesn't work in 2016.

/mlp/ was one of the fastest boards on the site in 2012 and was nearly twice as fast as it is now. By your reasoning, we need less moderation now that we're entering 'small board' status and having about 10k - 12k posts per day.

/mlp/ was around the ~15th fastest in 2012 out of about 50 boards.

We're actually still in the top 10 I think today, and the problem is that a lot of content creators are gone nowadays, and almost everything about the older seasons has already been discussed, pretty much all that's left is shitposting.
Less rules isn't going to result in less shitposting at this point.

We're going to get smaller and smaller, but that's because we'll be dying, not because we're going back to how it was before.

>>28423914
Humans are the only race to have hands. Things that act like hands are not hands. Spike has claws. Tirek has claws, which hand has 4 fucking fingers shaped like they could murder a man? Discord has claws too.

Well those appear to be the major issues, yes.

If I'm understanding correctly, there's been an ongoing movement for the removal
of GR15. See >>28422723.
That rule is constantly cited as outdated, redundant, and unfair.

Other anons want GR15 to remain since it's intrinsically tied to the existence of /mlp/, and
also state such a repeal would unleash waves of mass butthurt across 4chan.

Making /mlp/ into a red board would allow for gratuitous amounts of porn.
Oldfags desire a return to when the rules were more lax, and are claiming
a ton of porn and related material would drive off newfags who are promoting a cancerous
hugbox type mentality.

>>28423919
As an avid /co/ user, it gets really annoying to refer to MLP as "That Show That Must Not Be Named". It's also a stupid rule to get banned for posting ponies.

Of all the things that are never going to happen, this one is the most delusional.
The last time a mod posted outside of a sticky was years ago.

Allow spoilered NSFW. No anthro still applies, there's /trash/ for that.
Lift GR15 because someone getting legitimately triggered by a cartoon horse after it's been six years is a grade A bonafide autist. Everything else is covered by the shitposting/offtopic rules anyway.

Red board. Why this place even has moderation beyond deleting illegal content and threads started by crossboard shitposters to take up space is beyond me. Anthro can stay banned for all I care, cause I hate you guys. GR15 is fine. I don't care. It's repeal, should it ever happen, and it won't, should only apply to like reaction images and shit tho. Otherwise you'll just wind up with pone threads on other boards and autists posting a pic of Twilight to make other autists rage.

>If GR 15 can't be repealed, then at least add exceptions to where it'll make sense, such as posting MLP quests in /qst/, or about cosplaying in /cgl/, or about the toys in /toy/, etc.

And what does it have to do with them reading trough, honestly?
Anyway, I get what you're saying.

>>28421262
Now that we have /trash/, I'm pretty pleased with how /mlp/ is ran.
I can see how some people want a red board, but I personally don't see the need.

Not saying that it's perfect, I just think that there aren't any major problems that bother me. And I can't think of any rules that would make it better than it currently is. No amount of rules is going to make this place into an utopia. Board quality ultimately comes down to posters more than rules.

Sure, I'm for example not a fan of EQG, but I don't object to it being here. I can just use other threads.

>>28423285
I don't mind, honestly.
I'd like GR15 to be somewhat softer, so that MLP could actually be talked about where it's relevant (like /toy/ and /co/). I'm not in favour of GR15, but I can live with it.

>MLP quests in /qst/
/qst/ is shit. Better keep them here.

I'm just saying the mods don't really have a history of taking suggestions and discussing rules with the community.

>>28424272
I meant that the protest of the rule is seemingly ineffective, not the rule itself.
There's no doubt whether GR15 itself is effective or not.

But this time it's Hiro who came up with this.

So you're okay with the anthro ban but not the pony ban. Okay lad

>>28424272
Gr15 should be for /pol/ not us baka desu senpai

And the punishment for being /pol/ should be a permanent ban, getting doxxed, and possibly being framed for an unsolved murder
