Be the change you want to see. Make /cgl/-relevant threads instead of yet another complaint thread.

I can agree on that.
Were are the mods? Even if you report a thread shit doesn't happen.

No, I completely understand what you mean OP.
80% of the posts here are war-threads.
I use to ignore them, but now, it is getting pretty annoying to be honest. People need to stop feeding the trolls.

>>5547238
Thank you. And yes this is another complaint thread, but maybe this way SOMEONE can do something, because doing as you said "be the change" has resulted in nothing.

>come online
>see "How often do you think about committing suicide?" thread
>see "Where does one find a girlfriend?"
>see a Dakota thread about her stealing a background or something
Seriously, we have /adv/ for this shit, and Dakota has nothing to do with us. Do we even have mods? Can we get some if we don't? These last few weeks are proof that we desperately need them.

>>5547255
EXACTLY
The last few weeks have been a shit storm.
Is this national post shit on /cgl/ month?
I think not. Mods were for art tho?

I'm all for creating on topic threads and slowly pushing out the off topic ones. I don't mind it when another board comes here to ask questions but when they're obviously tryin hard to just piss off anons...eh. It gets old. I will purposely start to revamp on topics until the dumb shit gets pushed out or...something.

>>5547266
Second this, go make revalent threads.

it has gotten pretty bad, and by bad I mean there's nothing amusing now

The main issue is people actually replying to troll threads. Don't do It. Just don't comment anything. Chances are If you post anything then they'll reply.
Either that, or sage It into oblivion.

This happens when PT has gone.

She was this place's lucky charm.

the only off topic threads I like and hope stay are the femanon ones like makeup, fashion, actual femanon issues posted by obvious real girls, ect

I used to create armour making threads and other such themed help/cosplay picture threads but I just don't bother any more.
Feels like they'd just drown in all the shit threads that get made. There's so many that even when they don't get many replies they're still everywhere.

PixyTeri please come home.

There aren't enough people like the outspoken anons/tripfags to call out the trolls and sage/report is widely ignored

Self moderation is a joke in a board of women

>>5547289
Riss makes a good point.
Just STOP replying to them.
Eventually they might go away.
But I'm all for this no mod crap.
If they aren't gonna do their jobs promote someone who will.

>>5547303
A lot of those can be on topic though, especially make up, which is heavily relevant to looking good in both cosplay and lolita.

PT was bad enough, but Dakota is just proof that this board is now filled with bitter or bored girls with too much time to spare.

inb4 it was always like this, because no, it definitely wasn't. The past year or two have been particularly terrible, probably with the spread in popularity of the board and an influx of new users.

>>5547318
Again I second this, I remember when this was a on topic bored.
I can agree with make up and such, but some of this shit is just way off base.
Here's a tip for all the other boards, if you REALLY want to talk to girls that bad, get of 4chan and go outside. Meet people, it works wonders.

>OP
>create meta thread about meta threads
oh u

>>5547322
>>5547246
Read the first one.
If you wan't to get technical she is making a on topic subject about cgl it'self.

It's your fault for not making Sage-chan the immortal God Empress of /cgl/ and refused to live under her enlightened regime.

>>5547308
I never post in armor threads because it mostly sounds like larp cosplayers making chestplates than general armor (Boots, helmets, weapons). It's too specific IMO.

Well when /cgl/'s been dubbed a female board I guess the guys just flock because it's about all they can get pussy wise.

>>5547338
It's more on topic than the unfuckingendless Dakota threads.

>>5547346
Anon you are now apart of the league of strong independent woman. Welcome my friend.

>>5547328
Not sure about what you're getting at, anon.

get derpqueen to fuck athens so he can stop his bitter virgin rants.

>>5547370
She's talking about /cgl/ and in the first post that was linked she explained herself.

>>5547363
Well if only strong independent women cold clean up this board I would be happy. Alas, without the powers of Mod we can't do jack.

>>5547391
Hmm, meta is still meta. It's the same no matter if it's on topic or not, and it doesn't contribute to the board at all

>>5547403
Just make shit storms on threads that are meant for /soc/ anon, or sage the fuck out of them till they die.

>>5547388
I have boyfriendo, plus I only make love to people.

>>5547413
>I have boyfriendo, plus I only make love to people.

Fitting.

Polite sage
Stop replying to these bullshit threads instead of egging them on with tripfag circlejerks and trollbaiting.

Report, hide, continue on.

>>5547417
I blare Barry White.

>>5547416
I swear that's my photo.

>>5547303
Subtle.

But really I am just messing with you all I have not done coitus in year and a half now.

Look at all the reports I give

>>5547316
Best way to fight a troll is to ignore them. The minute you reply the thread can easily be derailed with constant bickering.

The only type of cosplay threads that do well are "Who should I cosplay as" and self post threads

>>5547316
You realized that just now?

Even some of the on-topic threads can be annoying too though. I've seen at least three different 'who should I cosplay as?' threads in the past 24 hours (though I suspect that two of those were trolls.)

I quite like some of the female oriented threads like the fashion and makeup threads, there doesn't seem to be a place for them elsewhere on 4chan (not even /fa/, they're mostly elitist men who tell you to dress like you're a 40 year old business woman no matter who you are). Some of the other ones can be a bit stupid though, like threads about who's a virgin, period stories, etc.

I think it mostly comes down to common sense. If a thread is inviting you to share your stories about an unrelated topic to /cgl/, don't respond. If a thread even mentions another board, dpn't respond. If a thread screams "trolling", don't respond, not even to say "0/10".

>>5547338
I'm not even talking about those sorts of threads, I'm talking about cosplay specific ones where there'd usually be the standard introduction to foam for beginners and then more experienced cosplayers discussing other methods they'd tried and used.

Says a lot that people don't even remember that sort of thing being around.

>>5547501
Pretty much this, I just keep tabs on threads I'm interested in and hide the rest. It makes me cringe just to see people replying to obvious troll and off topic threads stating what they are. I feel bad enough for posting in here as it is.
