/d/ here - could we get some answers from the janitors/mods about why porn with short captions/scenes written for them have been (apparently) banned from /d/ all of a sudden? There've been multiple caption threads on /d/ that have been shut down by mods/janitors in the last week or two and several /d/ posters have been banned for them (5 since this morning, and I think somewhere around 20-25 in the last week or two).

According to the 4chan ban records they were all been banned for violating Global Rule 6 (quality of posting), but there doesn't seem to be any violation of GR6 here: the images are /d/ content so they're on topic, the captions are all created by /d/ users so it's also OC, and most of the discussion in the thread has either been requests for new captions, constructive criticism on the OC that's been posted, and discussion of how to improve this type of content. Caption threads are also not a new thing - there have been irregular caption threads on /d/ since 2013 and they've only started being banned in the last week or two.

If this content is banned, we'd like some clarification from the mods/janitors as to why it's banned now and why it wasn't considered a global rule violation before now.
If the content isn't banned and it's just some janitor deleting shit they don't like, we'd like the mods to get them to cut it out.

Thank you.

>the images are /d/ content so they're on topic,

Cheking out the ban page, the images posted in those bans seem to be /h/ content. Assuming the /d/ relation is in the captions, I guess the mods don't consider that good enough.

It may also have to do with such threads inviting ERP with is a violation of rule 6 (unless you are on /jp/=

Download the IRC client, hexchat and go onto their channel to talk about this. They might listen if you go there and then /d/ might be able to have a caption thread survive a full 24 hours without being nuked by the mod and provoking posters on /d/ to keep making threads out of defiance due to the mod's extremely questionable actions.

To the people saying Mods don't reply here. The truth is that most of us have seen at least once mods acting on it and even replying to such threads. I remember once Hiro himself replying about the malicious ads thing tp one of these threads. I understand that some people want to keep these threads away but not sure if lying is the way to go.
>>
>>1408442
They (and hiro) gave up on you retards. The mods only respond to mistaken bans and technical issues.
>>
Any luck with the IRC and/or feedback? Cause I'd really like to get captions back on /d/ without the mod /janitor nuking it for no reason on a daily basis. Especially since the caption thread that was forced into /trash/ moves at the speed of a glacier compared to /d/ and only gets saved from page 10 by the occasional post which usually doesn't even have an image attached. Then, whenever there is an image attached it's usually a request rather than a caption.
>>
>>1408442
They respond very very rarely, and only about technical issues like /f/ fucking itself or ads being bad. In OP's case it's better to use IRC.

It's not lying to say that humans have two legs because of some soldier who lost a leg to a landmine. Mod responses are by far the exception, not the rule, and users are far more likely to get a mod response posting on the board where the problem is than /qa/. For example:

Note that asking on the original board risks a ban (although there have also been bans for complaining on /qa/, see https://bans.4tan.org/?board=qa).

You can do it yourself, see >>1404735.
From my experience the mods don't care much about being inconsistent, though. Especially since some of it is due to content that they might delete not being reported. Worst case, pointing out inconsistencies in order to get X unbanned just gets Y banned.

Nana seems pretty opinionated. From what I have seen, a lot of those threads had multiple paragraphs with good grammar, punctuation, and structure, which is not an easy thing to do while remaining sexy. Meanwhile, /gif/, and /hc/ have their fair share of sissy hypnosis, cuckoldry, interracial, and x-change caption threads, but they never get deleted. The quality of these captions aren't exactly stellar as well; only the x-change thread stands out in verbosity.

>>>/gif/10723173
Sissy caption thread. Up for 12 days.
>>>/gif/10767383
Continuation of the sissy caption thread. 4 days
>>>/gif/10660272
x-change thread, but they actually put some effort into their captions. Up for 23 days.
>>>/hc/1182364
Interracial caption thread. Up for 6 days

Meanwhile, actually locked censor threads
>>>/d/7490420
OP banned, and thread locked within the hour. Speedy.
>>>/aco/1475115
OP warned, and thread locked after 8 days.

Does Nana simply not have the power to ban posters on these boards, and lock these threads? Because, they have been continuing for a long time uninhibited much to Nana's claim that caption threads are deleted on "ALL boards" "since forever"

There is clearly an audience for these manner of threads, and they are not breaking any rules. Global Rule 6 should be enforced on a case by case basis, and not just umbrella banning something a mod personally doesn't approve of. Writing is a legitimate form of original content, and effort that shouldn't be looked down upon in such a way.
>>
>>1408604
Much like what happened to /aco/ in this thread, now that it has been brought up they will probably get deleted
>>
>>1408607
A statement should be made regarding this on respective boards then, because many, many innocent people are going to get banned, and continue getting banned because it's not particularly clear that captions constitute low quality content. If a thread goes for 23 days without being deleted, then there are two scenarios here:

One: Mods are aware, but choose to let it live.
Two: Mods are unaware, and the thread has managed to avoid being reported, or spotted by a mod once in the entire life span of said thread.

I find it incredibly hard to believe that an interracial caption thread has yet to receive a single errant report or two.
>>
>>1408604
This is absolutely brilliant. I have to commend you for putting this kind of research into this post of yours. I have a feeling Nana is going to try some handwaving for this post here if they don't do what >>1408607 mentioned.

Honestly, when I was lurking around the caption threads on /d/ this past week, I could have left at any time when they started getting locked, but I didn't and I stopped lurking in order to contribute and point out the mod's weird actions. But the moment that the mass ban happened on /d/ and I got caught up in it when I decided to share some captions from my stash, I refused to just walk away. Especially when Rule 6 was the only justification for the ban and there were threads that violated Rule 6 based on their interpretation present on /d/ that were left completely intact.
>>
>>1408604
It doesn't help that I want to practice writing some short smut for fun and the caption threads getting nuked on a regular basis doesn't do me any favors.

If dudes are going to contact the mods please use fucking /queue you homos, it's disturbing the chat otherwise
>>
>>1408626

>>1408613
I'd go with option 1. Caption threads on /d/ get locked within less than an hour usually. If they're lucky, they actually survive a full hour before the lock. Yet, >>>/d/7455500 survived 18 days so far, completely untouched.

As for /trash/, it moves at the speed of a glacier and it's full of furshit along with things that have absolutely no properly established board. The /d/ captions at least do have material suited to the board in question.

Also, despite what the mods say and do, they are not above criticism. As >>1408604 posted, there are multiple threads of similar content on other boards that are completely untouched and as >>1408503
posted, the /aco/ thread didn't get touched until someone called the mod out on their hypocrisy and the mod tried to save face.

Considering that It's /d/ we're talking about, the moderator in question is probably getting off on this.

>>1408467
Makes sense to me, most of those things are just shitty stories that are hardly related to the original picture. Generally with incredibly poor English. They're also almost always about the same thing., and most of the time they hardly seem /d/ related.
>>
>>1410007
Nice try, mods.
>>
>>1410007
If we can have 500 post threads on /d/ for handholding or putting little black bars over uncensored pics, I don't think shitty fanfic captions is crossing some kind of line in the sand of quality.

There's a running general that exists for no other reason than to archive people's shitty fanfic, for christ's sake.
>>
>>1410023
Yeah, I'd really love to hear the mods' explanation as to why other low quality threads like Censorship & Denial are allowed while Caption threads are not.
>>
>>1410023
Well, I don't like that censorship one either because it changes images to be objectively less arousing. But I don't think they're as low quality as captions in general.
Nothing against handholding.

>I thought it was just black bars and shit,

That particular image is the OP of the current censorship thread.

It's representative of the majority.

Pic related is the one directly under it in the thread.

>if they're adding captions as well then they're probably as bad as captions

So, if they're adding more than just black bars to an image it's worse? As in: an image with just black bars added would be of higher quality?

>This is a good example of just fucking up the original picture's context though.

What is the context of the original picture? What does the caption do to take that away?

>I also personally don't like huge stories next to pictures

As you admit, that's down to personal taste. I enjoy reading while I wank. That particular caption is one of my favorites.

There's also a caption that I'm trying to hunt down where a guy has found an alien girl with what looks like a predator mouth (She's otherwise attractive.) If anyone has that one, it'd be a good example to post.
>>
>>1410432
>So, if they're adding more than just black bars to an image it's worse? As in: an image with just black bars added would be of higher quality?
If the text is of that quality, yes. In my opinion of course.

>What is the context of the original picture?
You can just google that if you really want to know, I don't see how it's relevant.

>What does the caption do to take that away?
I never said it takes it away, but it does fuck it up. It just being present next to an established story picture means that the outcome is worse than if a picture without story was used.
By the way, a period is enough to indicate the end of a sentence. You don't need a newline after every sentence.

Make clear that it's a thread for sounding out the board opinion rather than just naming/blaming mods and throwing a shitfit. Query a mod politely about whether one metathread is allowed if it gets deleted.

I mean, it is just throwing a shitfit, but a little plausible deniability never hurts. If that doesn't work, you can... I guess you can either whine in feedback or raise the white flag.

Shitty /d/ threads master list:

>>>/d/7486130

This is a thread dedicated completely to editing an existing image. (Edits are apparently against rule 6)

>>>/d/7490827

This is a thread simply for girls with long hair. This belongs in /e/, not /d/.

>>>/d/7443279

This is the hand holding thread. It was made as a joke, but seeing as how the mods would like /d/ to be so seriously monitored now, it should be moved to /trash/.

>>>/d/7473923

This is a thread for creative writing. The scenario is what would the world be like if your fetish became a disease.

Seeing as how images are an afterthought in this thread, and not even remotely the focus, it should be moved to /trash/ under the new interpretations of rule 6.

>>>/d/7473122

This is a tread dedicated to people writing scripts, and other people reading said scripts for a recording. Under the new interpretation of rule 6, it should be moved to /trash/.

>>>/d/7487963

This is the CYOA thread. It is a thread dedicated to many images plastered together with text added. Under the new interpretation of rule 6, it should be moved to /trash/.

>>>/d/7475473

This is the globalized fetish thread. Just like the above example, it is a thread dedicated solely to OC writing and writing prompts with images being an afterthought.

Under the new interpretation of rule 6, it should be moved to /trash/.

>>>/d/7480115

This is the draw thread. It is almost all requests with almost no request ever getting fulfilled, and even if one were to be fulfilled, it would just be an edit to an existing image.

Under the new interpretation of rule 6, it should be moved to /trash/.
>>
>>1410596
If people are making threads that don't belong on your board, just report them.

>>1410666

They do.

Just like caption threads do.

We're only saying they should go now because apparently anything OC or that in any way alters the context of any image ever is now, according to the mods, a violation of GR6.

All because they can't dare admit one of their own is a powertripping cunt and deal with him, and instead they need to ruin multiple threads across at least 4 boards instead.

Well, except the long hair thread.

Unless it's hair-tentacles and hairjobs and whatnot.

It's not like this is new. The /d/ mod has been sperging out for a long time, banning thins they don't like. /d/ used to have a few nice fetish quests before they got banned out of the blue. """Western""" art got banned with /aco/. Now they're just banning whatever else fits what they want.
>>
>>1411046
I don't understand why, though. It's one thread. If you don't like it, just don't participate. It's not that fucking hard.
>>
>>1410542
It's like you're unfamiliar with the concept of making an image worse by adding things. I consider bad text a detriment, not an addition. At least black bars is still mostly the same image without that much changed. But this is not really relevant since it's apparently not just black bars.
>>
>>1411260
In what world are black bars over an image less intrusive than captions next to an image?
>>
>>1411365
I don't know, why are you asking me? I never said anything about intrusiveness.
Again, consider that adding things (to the side) makes the end result worse. Simple example, a picture of tits and a picture of tits with literal shit next to it. To non-scat fetishists the one without shit would be better. Some people dislike low quality writing that distracts from the image as well.

Also, please don't try and derail the thread further. I'm not going to discuss the relation between black bars and text any more because that's not what the thread is about. It's about caption threads and if they're against the rules, other threads shouldn't hold relation to that anyway. Just consider if caption threads are low quality by itself, don't judge by saying the other threads are high quality just because they're not deleted, because there could be a bunch of reasons why those aren't deleted.
>>

Indeed, they get to be entirely arbitrary in their abuse of power, and no one can actually hold them accountable because the moderation staff is only beholden to itself...

A certain other chan of a supposedly infinite nature at least alleviates this somewhat by making it so each Board has it's own "Owner" acting as its Administrator, and they can then appoint Moderators as they see fit.
Thus, no one asshole has the ability to ban you from THE ENTIRE SITE, just any Board he happened to gain mod powers on.

>>1408834

Great.

So basically what I'm getting from the first couple posts of this thread is that porn addicts who have literally no life have such a problem with internet moderators (whom also have no life), that they seek them out on these semi-private chat rooms to ask about why they can't enjoy their porn addiction.

Then when they get tip-toed around the mods they get all passive aggressive and presumably go jerk their dinkleberry to some anime chick, and let the shame completely take over them, whilst they wonder what went so wrong that they will never get into heaven or have any meaning to their lives, then in about 30 years they die of whatever illness or suicide, and get reincarnated as a gift from god, and then proceed to squander that gift by repeating their mistakes from their previous lives, and thus return to a never ending cycle of loser and shame.

Kill yourselves.

Not much - I suspect most of the people who've been banned for making captions threads are still banned, and the ones who aren't are too afraid of being banned to try making caption threads again.

Let that be a lesson to you - intimidation and fear always get results.
>>
>>1410548
But Anonymous, mods NEVER come to /qa/, so you're just wasting your time with this thread!
>>
>>1413385
None of these messes ever get updates. The mods decide something, the users complain about it, and nothing happens.

Either make a thread in /d/ trying to discuss it or give up.
>>
>>1413867
And by that I mean a thread for "what /d/ thinks of banning the caption thread", not "the caption thread", because theoretically you can have the former even when you're not allowed to have the latter.
>>
>>1413875
i would make it but i dont want to get banned
>>
>>1413875
That just seems completely bizarre. Also, knowing the mod that seems intent on driving /d/ into the ground, >>1413897
is justified in their fear because there's a good chance the mod may retaliate, even if no clear rules were broken.
>>
>>1408467
This seems arbitrary and pretty unnecessary.

Captions threads tend to, at the very least, generate original content, which is something 90% of threads on porn boards fail to do. I'm not sure what content is being pushed off of /d/ that the concerned mods would like represented, either.

I don't even browse /d/, but imo 4chan moderators should try to make conservative decisions, enforcing rules to protect communities on 4chan rather than get rid of ones they don't like.

You "combat" this the same way you do any other time. You use the feedback form. All you can do is voice to the mods that you disagree that the threads are low quality. Any "combat" is against the rules, and really fucking annoying if it happens on boards like /d/.

OP, there is no point is trying to open a dialogue with the mods. They do not care about your problems, and they're intentionally obscure and opaque so they don't have to answer to you and can run their board however they see fit.

Here's how you deal with power trip mods like /d/'s resident faggot, or any other shitmod on this site who decides he gets to make up his own rules/gets to torment a specific group of users:

>figure out what content the mod doesn't like and deletes
>amass as much of this content as you can
>get a dynamic IP (or a phone)
>post the content the mod hates
>if he deletes, repost, pretend nothing happened
>if he bans, evade the ban, repost (again, pretending nothing happened, don't even acknowledge his presence
>if he whines to programmers/admins to add filters targetting the content he doesn't like, evade those
>repeat until mod either takes the hint and fucks off, or he goes apeshit and escalates and likely does something that gets them demodded or removed from modding that board (thus solving your unwarranted content removal problem)
>most importantly, never acknowledge that the mod did anything, don't give them the reaction they are looking for

This kind of person you are dealing with is a type of bully, and bullies absolutely cannot deal with their victims ignoring them, or defying them. It drives them fucking nuts and it eats away at their ego so hard they either give up and seek someone else to bully, or they snap and *autistic screeching* ensues.

In all my years of discussion boarding this has always worked to get an abusive moderator to back off eventually when all other avenues have failed. 4chan is a different situation, since NONE of the staf care, so there's no point in seeking the 'peaceful way'. Be assertive. Remind the mods they serve you, the users, and that the rules aren't theirs to make. Take your board back and don't let an autsitic sperg fuck ruin your board like they have so many others.
>>
Lol. Mods are global.

>>1417189
This one is clearly singling out /d/ if it is indeed the same mod (s) that have been shitting on/d/ since 5ever

The fact we can't tell who's doing what on what board by itself is more of problem than this, if you ask me.

This shit is purely malicious. The only people who have a problem with board relevant OC are the fat literally who hot pocket fucks who other wise want to have nothing to do with the board's wellbeing.

Where are these paragons of justice when some fuck keeps necrobumping all the dead futa threads from page 10? Or the fucks who got lost on their way /r/? Nowhere, and probably slapping their tiny dicks in each others mouths while boards go to shit and unmoderated for hours at a time

Mods are global, but some of them only care about one/certain boards. They don't even have to look at other boards, since the reporting system will show them all reported posts in a vacuum.

>Some people decided to try going to /trash/.
Sorry friend, we've had caption threads for quite some time.
I don't think you'll be able to rid us of our furry userbase considering it's the only real place it's allowed.

/trash/ has also sped up considerably over its creation by tons of generals and other clusters of annoyance, to the point where it actually surpasses /d/ and /aco/ in speed.

I'm starting to worry if these mods are going to start targeting my trash can if this gets too out of hand.
>>
>>1416461
>there's bestiality and aco content
>and aco content
Just like it was back on /d/? Lol, the irony here.
>>
>>1417264
I'm fully aware of that. And I'm fully aware of the JOI threads there. It's more along the lines of the poster who tried to put a /d/ caption thread there and expected anything good to come of it.

Your board in general doesn't move at the speed of a glacier, and it probably would have been a more apt description if I said that the /d/ thread that tried to go there recieved new content very slowly/updated at the speed of a glacier as it was steadily pushed towards page 10.

As for mod intervention, I don't believe so unless people started openly violating the Global Rules that are enforced there on a constant basis. It's like worrying about mod intervention on a slightly tamer version of /b/.

What in the world happened here? I left for a little while and suddenly some posters just got way off topic here regarding the issues on /d/. And then /pol/ showed up and started spamming? What is going on here?
Also, to get back on topic, any alternatives to /d/ and plans besides just standing up to the mods? Not that I have a problem with that.

Yes, just make life worse for every other user.

>>
>>1418209
When the mods have proven that they don't care, and whenever someone chats them up on IRC, they tiptoe around the issues, give conflicting statements, and cover eachother's ass instead of providing answers and actually owning up to their fuckups, what other course of action is there?
>>
>>1418219
Accepting that this is a new policy? Not being a dick? Not breaking multiple rules? Not pissing of users? Seriously, these guerilla tactics are fucking annoying, just go through the established routes like the feedback form to voice your concerns, I'm guessing only a handful of people did that.
>>
>>1418235
People did. The IRC thread screenshots posted earlier were the end result. They answered practically nothing, their statements conflicted with their actions then they resumed to abuse their power on the board. If all that's going to happen is us getting brushed off, then what?
>>
>>1418244
I'm implying that maybe you got brushed off because of valid reasons, like you being dicks, being in the minority, complaining about old rules, etc. I already answered your question if you assume your situation.
>>
>>1418235
If this was a new policy, all they need to do was just make ONE DAMN STICKY SAYING SO. There's no sticky in sight. I checked multiple times. I checked the archives. Not there either. Checked the rules. Nothing clearly against caption threads there either.
>>
>>1418252
Seems like this isn't a new policy though? Considering they've been deleting them years ago at least.
>>
>>1418257
Years ago? I can pull some archives of caption threads from earlier this year that were completely untouched.
>>
>>1417803
Botspam.
>>
>>1418277
Okay? That doesn't mean that there are no threads that were deleted years ago. Just means that those were skipped for some reason.
>>
>>1418297
kek
>>
>>1418289
Then they're being inconsistient with their rules which weren't even openly established in the first place since this thread even exists. The fact that those threads were present and untouched prove that the mods are running fast and loose with whatever rules they want to enforce if those rules even exist at all and they need to be called out on it.
>>
>>1418310
>Then they're being inconsistient with their rules
Sure, but that's always been the case. They've always been slow, or missing shit.

>their rules which weren't even openly established in the first place since this thread even exists.
It's right there on the rule page, but fair enough. Guess some people can't take a hint.

>The fact that those threads were present and untouched prove that the mods are running fast and loose with whatever rules they want to enforce if those rules even exist at all and they need to be called out on it.
No it doesn't. There are a fuckton of reasons for why they'd skip those threads.
>>
>>1418313
Post the exact rule prohibiting captions then. And mind you, that isn't Rule 6.
>>
>>1418316
>Post the exact rule prohibiting captions then.
Rule 6. And technically 3 because image macros, I think.

>And mind you, that isn't Rule 6.
Why not? Technically, rule 6 could apply to anything, and the mods made it clear that rule 6 applies to captions.
>>
>>1418313
And what are some other reasons that mods can miss threads that you could easily find with one quick scroll through the catalog? Especically since they have be deleted in a matter of minutes as of late?
>>
>>1418321
Not enough people for example.
>>
>>1418319
And Rule 6 could apply to anything a mod wants it to apply to. I said clearly prohibiting captions, not a rule that can be interpreted in such a way that it can apply to whatever a mod deems to violate said rule.
>>
>>1418325
>I said clearly prohibiting captions
No you didn't. Anyway, I don't think that exists, and it doesn't need to exist.
>>
>>1418327
What the hell is this then?>>1418316
I even said "isn't rule 6" right there.
>>
>>1418327
If it did exist, then this confusion and argument wouldn't be a thing and we wouldn't be here arguing about it because it would have been clearly established. So, it apparently does need to exist.
>>
>>1418331
That's "exact rule prohibiting captions then", not "clearly prohibiting captions", there's a difference. Rule 6 is definitely prohibiting captions as well, you saying "isn't Rule 6" doesn't make it so.
>>1418334
This bullshit also wouldn't exist if you guys were a little bit perceptive and realize that getting threads deleted/banned for rule 6, probably means that captions fall under rule 6.
>>
>>1418339
This bullshit wouldn't exist if rule 6 wasnt something that is so intentionally vague and open to personal interpretation that there is even a debate on the quality of the threads in the first place.
>>
>>1418339
It's all subjective, you don't really have an argument here, one mod doesn't like particular thing so he doesn't allow them
>>
>>1418345
Yes, but then they'd have to change the rules every time something slightly different but equally shitty comes along. This way works, if users aren't whiny babies.
>>1418346
>It's all subjective, you don't really have an argument here
You say this like it's logical one follows the other, but it definitely isn't.

Just walk away, Jim

You're argument is based on the preconceived notion that captions are low quality, who decides that quality? If the mods decided the fat male thread was low quality and deleted it, would you be Okay with that? what about the edit thread? what about /efg/?

are you really okay with the mod trying to shape the board into what HE personally wants instead of the people who actually use it?
>>
>>1418358
>who decides that quality?
Mods, probably based on a number of factors. Same as how they decide any rule, this wouldn't be better if the rule wasn't subjective (assuming users aren't whiny babies).

>If the mods decided the fat male thread was low quality and deleted it, would you be Okay with that? what about the edit thread? what about /efg/?
Yes, yes, and yes, even if if was something that I actually liked because I don't like those particular threads.

>>are you really okay with the mod trying to shape the board into what HE personally wants instead of the people who actually use it?
I think this is a wrong assumption. There is no reason to believe this is the action of a single mod, it's most likely the decision of a number of people, probably brought to action by outside actions like reports (the people who actually use it).
>>
>>1418364
nah, no one reports those threads, mods delete them because they don't like them plain and simple.

also if you wanna suck the mods cock so bad you can go back to R*eddit
>>
>>1418377
>nah, no one reports those threads
That's definitely a wrong assumption. You're fucking delusional if you think nobody hates those threads.

At least my arguments are based on actual facts instead of wild asspulls. It's pretty disturbing that you prefer to go full nuclear based on your own wrong reality and just dismiss any counterfact just because it doesn't line up with your opinion. Sounds like you're doing the exact thing you claim the mod's doing, albeit without the power.
Also, I think you're missing quite a bit of context to that claim you're making about me.
>>
>>1418386
You said you'd be okay with the mod deleting fat threads and similar such threads if he thought it was low quality, even though they break no rules (like caption threads), you're a brown nosing little faggot my boy.

I'm not doing what the mod is doing, the mod wants to wipe out a large userbase and silence us without even putting up any significant arguments, I just want everyone to be able to enjoy their fetishes without abusive mods
>>
>>1418407
>You said you'd be okay with the mod deleting fat threads and similar such threads if he thought it was low quality, even though they break no rules (like caption threads)
By definition, they'd be breaking the rules then. This is an impossible situation. And again, you're missing context.
>>1418407

Sorry about that.
>>
>>1418417
So if the mod THINKS that fat threads are low quality they would be okay to get axed?

What if he suddenly started think all futa was low quality and started deleting them on site?

why are you okay with that??
>>
>>1418422
>So if the mod THINKS that fat threads are low quality they would be okay to get axed?
With the context that I included? Yes.

>What if he suddenly started think all futa was low quality and started deleting them on site?
Same.

>why are you okay with that??
Because it would probably represent a large number of user's view.
>>
It tends to help that on forums I've been to that have rules agains low quality and low effort posts, they actually provide short and clear examples of what would go against that rule so you know the mods and admin aren't just picking things that they don't agree with or don't like.
>>
>>1418427

I really don't have a response to this level of brown nosing faggotry, I would just like you to know that no one wants you here

I don't think so, I've seen enough people voice opinions that coincide with the ban decision.

You're only considering the vocal part that posts on an unlisted board though, you (and I) can't judge if either side's the majority. In the worst case, 74 people shouldn't be able to decide a whole board's policy.
>>1418460
>And the majority of this thread is agsinst the ban decision.
Weird, a thread about the ban decision being shit is against the ban decision and doesn't seem to invite people not agreeing with the thread's topic? Obviously this is a biased sample.

Seems pretty relevant to the situation here if you ask me.

You think Hiroshimoot/moot decided this? I definitely don't think so, which is why I think it's irrelevant. Mods aren't owners of the site by the way.

>>1418486
I think one mod decided this for /d/. Not Hiromoot. The owner part is irrelevant. The one person, in this case, the mod deciding a board's policy is the relevant part.
>>
>>1418490

Mod's don't decide board policy, they ensure board policy is followed (which is not the case with the mods on /d/)
>>
>>1418490
Then you misunderstood what I said in >>1418476

I said that I don't think that (one single person should decide a board's policy?), except if it's the owner or something (Hiroshimoot/moot) but that (except if it's the owner or something) is irrelevant.
>>1418495
I'd assume mods have some decision power in board policy, though I think not a single mod has the power to decide, and they probably use a bunch of user input to decide what the users want. I think this is what happened on /d/.
>>
>>1418495
And because of that part in the parentheses, we're all here discussing issues about a mod on /d/ rather than just enjoying ourselves on/d/

>>1418506

Then they used zero user input

>>1418513
I fucking give up, I can't deal with these fucking asspulls anymore.

>>1418506

To be honest, mods don't even enforce board policy for anything, there are about 10 or so threads there with western images for the first image, even though that IS an explicit rule

they are fucking faggots, anyone who supports them is a fucking faggot

>>1418525

It's convenient how they "miss" those threads for months but caption threads are deleted in minutes

you are so full of shit it's almost unbelievable
>>
>>1418593
Yeah, it can't be that they recently got new janitors or something that helps them with finding more rule breaking content. It has to be convenience, even though it was an established rule before that drought.
Your refutations suck.
>>
>>1418601
That argument was already shown to be full of shit in a previous IRC chat someone had with a mod, keep digging though buddy, the fact remains there is clearly rule breaking stuff still up on /d/ even though captions, which I will remind you break no rules, still get deleted within minutes
>>
>>1418601
And yet, a nazi thread with no /d/ content, but a decent amount of /pol/ content gets to stay for days while a caption thread gets deleted within less than a half hour. And that was recent. Excuse me if I think you're full of it. Doubly so because almost every time you post, you find new ways and reasons to defend the mods without question.
>>
>>1418618
That wasn't really an argument, that was just me calling you a dipshit. The case remains that there are a multitude of possible reasons for why they suddenly started deleting them again. Stuff like new staff, people getting sick of it and reporting it, staff schedules being changed, feedback, etc.

>previous IRC chat someone had with a mod
Do you happen to have a link to that particular one? I stopped reading them after a bit because it was just people asking stupid questions.

>the fact remains there is clearly rule breaking stuff still up on /d/ even though captions, which I will remind you break no rules, still get deleted within minutes
Okay. This isn't an argument either, right? Because comparing threads like that is retarded.
>>1418620
>And yet, a nazi thread with no /d/ content
I considered that /d/, barely but still. Maybe that was just not reported enough.

>Doubly so because almost every time you post, you find new ways and reasons to defend the mods without question.
Mostly because people keep forgetting simple reasons for why mods do something.
>>
>>1418636
YOU consider it /d/. A bunch of the posters on the thread and board didn't. And the mod didn't when he got around to it DAYS LATER.
>>
>>1418648
Fair enough, I didn't read any of the replies in it and I can see why people wouldn't consider it /d/. I would've liked to have it stay, but I accept that it has no place there then.
>>
>>1418651
Of course you accept it even though you like it, because you'll always accept what the mod does, without question.
>>
>>1418636
I just want you to accept that within that "multitude of reasons" are reasons like the mod personally doesn't like them, abuse of power, etc

I'm done talking with you though, this isn't really going to accomplish anything chatting witha dumbfuck like you, we'll just do what we always do, wait until this blows over then go back to posting peacefully for months before some mod runs out of tendies and takes it out on the userbase
>>
>>1418711
>I just want you to accept that within that "multitude of reasons" are reasons like the mod personally doesn't like them, abuse of power, etc
Considering the amount of evidence that points to this being extremely not likely, I won't.

What I don't understand is the need to remove one single thread in the first place.

One thread that seemed to have a lot of traffic causes this much drama? It's one fucking thread, who gives a shit? If people are this up in arms about it, then it obviously has a place. Is it really causing a problem if it's content is contained in a single thread at pretty much all times?
>>
Page 9 is upon us all. If you wish to continue, prepare for a new thread.
>>
>>1418813
A single thread can definitely be an annoyance to users, or worse. Plenty of people get annoyed by singular threads.
>>
>>1418813
No one knows why exactly, and the mod is pretty much nuking all caption threads without explanation. The mass ban on a bunch of caption thread posters earlier didn't help in the slightest and led to the creation of this thread because the only justification for the bans was an automated message citing a violation of Rule 6. A rule which can be left up to intrepretation, leading posters to point out the inconsistiencies between what the mod did and didn't delete based on his logic and Rule 6. Then there was the run around on IRC between a user and a mod, which didn't help at all.

TLDR version: Mod appears to abuse his power to enforce his own personal desires on /d/ and this thread is brought into existience as a response.
>>
>>1418843
People get annoyed by constant single topic image dump threads. Yet, there they are.

>>1418845
That TLDR isn't a TLDR of what you posted at all. Nothing you posted indicates anything of abuse of power.

>>1418851

>>
>>1418845
If it isn't abuse of power, it's incompetence and a lack of clear communication then.
>>
>>1418860
No. It's simply a response to that statement that was made earlier about singular threads.
>>
>>1418855
That's what some people on here think, I think there's no reason to believe that.
>>1418861
>a lack of clear communication then.
I'd say big red letters are pretty clear.
>>
>>1418855
Apparently so.
>>1418865
Other than a ban which cites rule 6, no. There is no clear communication that was established. How about just posting a sticky or being able to cite something which can't be left up to anyone's personal interpretation. That would help a lot.
>>
Prepare yourselves for the jump! We're on page 10!
>>
>>1418873
>Other than a ban which cites rule 6, no. There is no clear communication that was established.
Yes, except the part that's clear communication it's not clear communication. What a retarded and pointless thing to say.
>>
>>1418878
A ban citing a rule left up to PERSONAL INTERPRETATION is a lack of clear communication.
>>
>>1418878
Personally, I think your incessant ass covering for the mod is idiotic, but who am I to judge.
>>
>>1418886
No, it's clearly communicating that the threads aren't allowed because of a rule, it doesn't matter what that rule really is. Besides, it's not like rule 6 is that vague, it clearly defines what is being judged, namely quality.
>>1418889
I think it's more about pointing out how wrong people are. It never seems to stop either.
