Why does /cgl/ embrace good posters only to treat them like shit later even though they don't change?

Groopy the Clown was a trip that shared makeup tutorials, armor making tips, notes on performance and was helpful in responding to anon's questions. However he was banned for off-topic and shit posting and has left the board.

Johnny Bravo had numerous threads where all he did was compliment girls in witty ways using puns and maintaining the Johnny Bravo persona. He never encouraged shit posting and always made sure to compliment whoever asked for words of encouragement. People felt good and his thread were almost archieved. Nowadays he gets drama bombed and was later banned. Not sure if he will return.

Smaller example would be Rodney Dangerfield/Comedy OP. His first thread was actually voted to be archieved and very sucessful.He would pop in occasionally whenever the board was looking too girm or off topic only to be blasted by others and ignored.

Why does this pattern keep surfacing?
>>
>>6414796 (OP)
What?! That's what happened to Gropey?
D: Noooooooo
>>
>>6414796 (OP)
Because /cgl/ is filled with nasty pus oozing cunts.

>Why does this pattern keep surfacing?

Because the half dozen average girls with photoshop that tripfag on here get jealous that someone else is getting attention.

>People like living in shit so they can have something to complain about.
So THAT'S why Obama is still president.
I get it now.

Groopy shouldn't have been banned.

The rest was offtopic garbage that deserved to get shood. I guess to answer your question, OP, /cgl/ isn't a hivemind. Different people reach different consensus over what is good and what is lame. To try and say that Johnny threads were universally "good" is presumptuous, even if they were received well by one group of anons.
>>
>>6414799
He was banned the he made one last post leaving his email as he realized he was unwelcomed here and left.
>>
>>6414838
Johnny complimented cosplayers while Comedy OP talked about conventions, cosplay, nerd culture and /cgl/

How were they both off topic?
>>
>>6414822

You got that all wrong, bro.

The government wants the majority of people living in shit so that a select few can have the good life. More people having a slice of that good life means it gets smaller for those that already have it and they don't like that. This is why the government does nothing to end poverty, fix education, healthcare, and why shitty processed crap is sold as edible things.

Because we have a bunch of stupid catty cunts that rule this board.

I haven't been here for too crazy long, but in the past 3.... almost 4 years Ive been here we see tons of legitimately useful and helpful people get pushed away or banned.
I miss seeing Volpin helping around here, Mr.Freeman too when he could, but they moved to better things (good for them)

Doesn't help our mod is retarded and hands out bans to people trying to help or be somewhat fun and entertaining while keeping it mostly board related. or y'know Im still not happy about my week long, all board ban for only posting helpful shit on here. Seriously go fuck yourself with a rake.

/cgl/ sucks, the only worthwhile threads are progress and help threads. Other good ones are few and far between.
It'd be cool to get more helpful, fun, educative, Interesting threads, but this is /cgl/, it wont happen.

It also sucks that the people who are just generally trying to be nice get fucked over by anons trying to stir up non-existent drama.
Seriously.
Y'all niggas who get mad at me or anyone else who tries to counterpoint baseless hate then get mad and say "Oh you're just sucking up to tripfags" or "oh you're just whiteknighting so that you can get some pussy".

I mean, yeah, I suck at cosplaying. Just got into it within the last couple years, and with a shitty budget, can't do much. Hating on my cosplays? All fine and good, cause I know I have a long way to go.

But hating because I'm trying to do something actually good for people? What the fuck? Just because the general atmosphere of /cgl/ is all drama all the time does not mean you are at all required to do so, otherwise you get hate turned on you, anon or tripfag. It's why I've largely abandoned this place - if I can't say something nice about someone doing a cool thing or looking pretty without being hounded for what I said, then what's the fucking point?

//rant, yesimad

>>6414885
Mr. Freeman was banned?! For what? At worst he would make a neutral post but in general he was a rather helpful person who made fun costumes.
>>
Here's the problem.

The people who start shit get a slap on the wrist at worst. usually they're celebrated or people encourage their antics.

The posters who try to be good and productive are labled as kissups or whiteknights. At the very best, their posts are ignored.

>>
This is why /cgl/ is going to hell lately. The new mod(s) popping in are from other boards and they delete all the on-topic drama and relevant stuff and hand out week long bans like they're going out of style but when you report shit troll threads from /fit/ and /jp/ they don't even show up delete them until after they've already maxed out on posts. This is why you hardly ever see cosplay threads on the front page anymore, everyone has either gotten fed up with being banned for ontopic thins or they've gotten fed up with the useless moderation.

I don't disagree that some idiots feed the trolls but I know I report every damn time and then end up leaving and coming back hours later to find it still up and going.

We need to spread this idea, make /cgl/ realise that hey, we can become a good board. We are so used to shitty threads that most of us don't even care about the off-topic shitty post - or worse, some of us came to enjoy them. I always report off-topic shit, but the mods/janitors never pay any attention. Without them enforcing the rules it will be hard to change.

I used to love coming onto /cgl/ because I would see awesome cosplays, meet awesome people, anon and tripfag alike, and see cool ways to make costumes.
Now it's drama, "i heard she bought 50 dicks off of e-bay and sucked them all", drama, "this costume sucks adn you should feel bad and never cosplay again", and so on.
Constructive criticism, presented in a reasonable way, is awesome and welcomed, because that way you know what you did wrong and where to improve. Just saying "ur costum sucx never cosplay agian" just makes things worse.

well you dont pay attention do you. This guy, while he has been posting around in some shitty threads ( sorry bro but you are), He's also been posting in help, progress, and the occasional Toku cosplay threads because he's working on a Very cool Board-Tan cosplay.
Roko is fine, lets leave this at that, we dont want this Thread become what we wish to lessen.
>>6414948
THIS TOO
We get fewer and fewer people here because how we treat them


If there was one not really board related but kinda is thread I'd like to keep around is /fit/Fridays. Its helpful and we need our bodys for cosplay (duh). some people wanna get in better shape for cosplay and i feel /fit/fridays are acceptable.

Does anybody else feel like hitting /q/ with this stuff weekly until it gets resolved?
>>
>>6414961
Not new just fed up.

I remember threads of "who's the hottest tripfag" being filled with posts to the point it was remade 2 to 3 more times.

Meanwhile another thread asking for nice/helpful tripfags barely managed to get 10 posts in. The only other posts in the nice thread were people going "No one cares about nice posters"
>>
>>6414986
I know this may sound shocking, but there is a WHOLE board for /fit/ stuff. It's called /fit/. WAYWT must also go, they are not board-related.

Nope, Fatso the Clown is still posting here.

No, he made a good bye thread and I've never seen him again since. Which sucks, his tutorials were actually helpful, sometimes he would go and tell offtopic stories, but he would keep it in his thread and as soon as someone asked him something, he would go back to helping them.

Yeah, same here.
What annoys me the absolute most is when /cgl/ decides to start drama with someone for no reason at all.
Not because person in question was a bitch to them.
Not because of actual con-related or even cosplay-related drama.
Not even personal life drama (which seriously doesn't belong here - we're all fucking cosplayers, what goes on outside of the costume doesn't need to get involved in their cosplays. Jesus fuck.)
But for absolutely no reason.
Yeah, I know this is 4chan. But for god's sake, look at boards like /an/ or whatnot. Some of the absolute nicest people I have ever seen in the time I've been here. Why can't we emulate that?
Maybe if we actually straighten up we can attract more users to the board and start reviving it.
>>
/cgl/, going to conventions and seeing a lot of homely girls in mediocre cosplays. I realy wonderif a majority of those people are you. You sit on your ass all day, bitching and moaning and turning this hobby into a contest. If anyones fabric is off color (derpyhooves) if they say chai tea(shut up), whether or not someone is cosplaying the same character as you...
And you chase off any useful trips. Duckcock, roko, cunt master, and a few others needed to be banned and hated.

But genuine nice trips get boo'd and hissed at.

Honestly
>watchout here comes anon with da trooth
Whenever I see homely pissy convention goers, I think of the majority of you.
Behind every ashley post. Behind every 'i hate gropes/johnny/rdf/etc' I think of those girls.

As for you men, the shitizens, you're pre' much in the same boat. You untalented butterfaces.

I will admit that his personal stories were off-topic and it was annoying how his help-threads would get swamped with Anons begging for them, but he probably knew more about body-paint and prosthetics than anyone else here.

I like the Idea of Rider bombing a thread... Ive done it a few times and it worked, people stopped posting after 40 Japanese bug men appear.. last time failed though, my fault for not having a cosplay Pic of X and then searching other shit till i forgot about the thread. but its as bad as shitposting....

I think we just need to keep stating our issue on /q/ until a higher up can asses and implement some new rules or features for our shitty little board.

I'd agree if /fit/ wasn't such a shithole either. I get more from /fit/Fridays than I do any of the threads below the stickys on /fit/.

Do you know who's fault this is? it's fucking /fit/ and /soc/ guys like Hobbes and Dildos. I can deal with the women because I realized at the end of the day they have tits and I can be distracted by those, but those motherfuckers endorse stupidity everywhere they go and you worship them like the gods of mt. olympus when in reality, there is no fucking god or gods or anyone, we're all fucking made of flesh and bone and yet everyone accept people being dumb, while the smart person is viewed as the buzzkill.

BTW, Can bet 50 bucks one of the people I just mentioned will appear on this thread, derail it to people sucking their dicks and the circle continues.

once or twice a week. If they dont see the issue or only a few people mention the issue it wont ever get fixed. If its there all the time with posts from differnt users maybe they'll see there is a problem that needs to be addressed.

we just need to put forth the effort to show we need the change. yes /cgl/ has been very drama filled for ages. But 2011-2012 have been the absolute worst this board has been. Im sure somebody that's been here longer can agree with me on this.

These are the things we need to do to get this place some what decent again:

>no /fit/ Friday.
I get that cosplayers want to be in shape but /fit/ is just a few boards down. Go there. Saying "Oh /fit/ topics are totally off-topic unless it's this day of the week, then it's okay." is just asking for more /fit/ spam.

>no WAYW/crush/what do you look like
It's off-topic and there's no excuse for it.

>no tripfag ratings
We can't get rid of tripfags and some are actually helpful but giving them attention as a whole is just a bad idea because it spirals out of control.

>report off-topic/troll things and don't reply. At all.
That's the problem around here. People either don't bother to report or they do and then feed the trolls by responding.

>if you don't want to see something off-topic/troll/drama and you've already reported but nothing is being done, just spam the thread with cosplay pictures.
It's on topic material and most of the time the trolls or off-topic chatters will get frustrated and abandon thread

There are so many off topic threads on this board filled with off topic shit it is absolutely asinine to single out one person who is actually useful to this board as if to try and make a statement.

Is there any way to protest a banning? Gropey was unjustly banned. Or at least, if he was banned and the powers that be will defend that banning, also ban the people who start PT, Dakota, Gutterface, Venus, etc. threads.

It was a warning ban not a full on permaban. I guess he just got pissed and never wanted to return. Can't blame him really.
>>
In defense of /fit friday, /fit itself is pretty vicious and annoying when it comes to women asking fitness advice. There's about a ninety percent chance that the anons there will just scream at the woman, call her an attention whore, and demand to see tits. Even if she's mentioning being a woman for a legitimate reason.

That said, we seem to have a troll mod in the works. More an more often, helpful and on topic people get banned, drama whore troll threads go on forever (anyone remember the awesome joanns employee that was was sharing stories and got a temp ban for it? Yeah, shit like that, its ridiculous)
>>
>>6415713
You can appeal if you're permanently banned.
Honestly it's stupid to do anything like that anyway because you can just reset your router

>ban the people who start PT, Dakota, Gutterface, Venus, etc. threads.
I agree with PT and Dakota's because anons on here really go after them on other sites. Same with that Homestuck girl, I don't even get why there are so many threads about her.

Gutterface is a lolcow and staple of convention and /cgl/-related drama though

Now you're so pants on head retarded it's not even funny. Those are the two common threads on this board that are actually RELATED to this board; however, they seem to get deleted sometimes too over threads that mean absolutely nothing.

Not really. He's only really gets mad about his ex. Seeing as she cheated on him and got pregnant while they were engaged, it was understandable.

I talk to Gropey on facebook, and apparently, that "here is my email" post he made got him banned again globaly, and they chalked it up to ban evasion.

Last time I checked PT dresses up like cartoon characters just like, most likely, the lot of us anons. How the fuck are you supposed to get wig styling tips from "What did you wear today threads" or threads about posting your face or fucking "fit Friday" threads? Hell, you're probably MORE likely to get a helpful response from a PT thread about cosplay cause she's what you shouldn't strive to look like.

Lurk more, then you can comment on this board's antics, but until then, check yourself.

Look, gropey seemed like a nice enough guy, but he was starting to cross the line from helpful advice to off topic shitposting. The very last thread he made, he was literally just dumping clown pictures and indulging anons in their compliments of him or whatever. Rather than just waiting for someone to ask for advice he decided to constantly bump his thread with off topic stuff. I even tried to tell him in a pretty civil way that technically what he was doing was a ban-able offense but his response was to be a snarky smarties so w/e.

Not defending him, but did you make yourself known in your post as a mod? He probaly would have complied if he knew you were a mod and not sunbeemz pretending to be batman.

Still not defending him, but he was probably also drunk as hell. His threads are alot more on track when he's sober, but between the booze and the trolls he was probably a stand-offish asshole. I think he deserves another chance.

And I for one, enjoyed the clown pics, and even started working on a clown costume and face of my own. Its still costume and makeup, just a different kind.

Pic related, all thanks to Gropey.
>>
>>6416078
Probably? No. They should be banned, especially if they are going to jump on Gropey for being "off-topic".

At least Gropey can stay on topic until he gets some booze in him, that's better than the majority of the circle-jerking trips on this board.
>>
>>6416090
Uh I'm not a mod. He just arrogantly assumed that there is only one person on this entire board that disagreed with his posting habits/tactics.

Also your entire post is defending him so no need to preface it. Twice.
>>
I don't like Gropey. I actually quite dislike the drunk prick.

I don't think he should have gotten banned thought. He wasn't far off topic, actually had advice for his people and most of all he kept to his own fucking threads, unlike half of the other tripfag divas.

KEPT. TO HIS OWN. THREADS.

If there was a way to petition to unban the clown I would, because I know how to hide and ignore threads I don't like.
>>
>>6416112
Lol why are you being so hostile with me anon. I'm not the one who banned him. Just saying that I can understand why the mods did. I agree it's certainly not fair that gropey was banned meanwhile the rest of the shitposters get to stay, but remember that gropey brought the permaban on himself. His initial ban was just a short warning, he decided to evade it to give everyone his email address
>>
I tried being helpful on this board but most of you guys are messed up/have a lot of hatred in your hearts.

I guess it's not surprising, given the nature of 4chan/the internet but it's the real reason why A LOT of tripfags move on to better things.
>>
>>6416172
I wasn't being hostile with you at all, don't cry about me stating a point. Gropey didn't shit post near as much as the other trips yet the other trips are still here with no problems.
>>
>>6414852

Me too! He's always so helpful and awesome.
>>
>>6416172

He didn't evade it though, it ended the moment he clicked on it.

And its not that people are misunderstanding you, we just disagree and dislike you. More people enjoyed Grooby than hated him, its just the few haters were more vocal.
>>
>>6416205
Lol. Not crying, friend

if-- like gropey-- the shitposting trips also manage to get and evade their warning bans, they will be permabanned too
>>
That is because 80% of the posters are a combinatio of creeps and drama/attention craving hambeasts.

Don't believe me?
Just look at the posts in the frontpage of /cgl,
how many of them are TRULY cosplay related?

Trolls/stalkers from /fa, /a, /v, /jp, /fit and /soc
stormed this place. I am serious, this place
is more /drama than /cgl.

>>6416224
They don't get banned, so there is none of that. Gropey actually helps this board and he gets banned for absolutely nothing.

>>6416218
I don't hate him either. Like I said, he's a nice guy who knows a lot of stuff. You can dislike me if you want to, but his threads were starting to become gropey/random clown art generals rather than stage makeup generals. I'd like for him to come back if he could learn to keep the off topic-ness under control because he's a pretty valuable source of information

>>
>>6416247
So, if I started a petition thread to unban Gropey, you'd post in it? Like its been mentioned by several seagulls, its mostly to do with the combination of him drinking, and the response to trolls. If the trolls who were REALLY derailing his threads were banned, his threads would be better.
>>
>>6416235
He. . . didn't get banned for nothing, though. I know this isn't what you want to hear but in the thread he was banned on he was literally just spamming clown art. Not even pictures of stage makeup, clown art. He was warned about the off topic thing, so his first response was to make another off topic thread telling people his email immediately after, probably while the mod was still looking around. Is it fair? No, but its certainly not surprising or shocking. Like I said, I don't hate him, and I wouldnt mind him coming back if he could get his crap together and stay on topic
>>
>>6416279
Compared to the other crap trips do to threads, mostly along the lines of completely derailing a thread when they post, it's absolutely nothing. He didn't deserve to be banned, let alone perma-banned.

>>
>>6416291
Just because you really like someone doesn't mean they can do no wrong. Gropey's threads were frequently and glaringly off topic recently, that's a fact. I like gropey. I like the idea of stage makeup threads. A mod saw that he was spamming off topic stuff and acted accordingly. The end.
>>
>>6416257
Because it's technically relevant to the lolita side of this board since WAYW is fashion and lolita is a jfashion niche. It'd be confusing to say "WAYWT but only if you're wearing relevant jfashion" so them sliding through makes sense.

Also for the record Johnny very clearly broke the rules on avatars and deserved his ban.
>>
>>6416277
I would if he took responsibility for his threads being off topic. Trolls can be ignored. Those threads were like his personal therapy spaces at times, a lot of it was just pure him. Yes there were trolls but they aren't solely responsible for the declining condition of his threads

>>6416303
I said it was clown art. Like drawings. As in not pictures of real people in makeup. Herpderpduuuur
>>
>>6416311
That's like saying you can't post reference pictures of a character cause it's "off topic". Anybody could have used those pictures to take inspiration from, fool. Don't sit up there and single out his threads and get high and mighty since we have stupid off topic shit going on 24/7.

Seriously, pay attention to the other shit posting threads we have on this board that happen nearly every day and are front page news.

>>6416315

>>

If I make a thread to petition the unbanning of Gropey, how many people would participate?

And who has Gropey's contact info? Does he have a blog or a tumbler? Email me if you don't wanna be off topic.
>>
>>6416380
But that's not what Gropey's thread was about was it? He was posting clown art, art that anybody could get inspiration from since not all clown art is the same.
>>
>>6416315
While he was avatar fagging his last post had no avatar as he acknowledged the rule infraction.
>>
>>6416380
You are purposefully misreading that.

A thread about Sentai cosplay with drawings of power rangers is inspiration.

A thread about mecha cosplay with pictures of gundams is inspiration

A thread about makeup and clowns with pictures of clowns?

Yes I mad.
>>
Groopey aside the real problem is that there is no new generation of helpful posters. It's understandable that people will leave as people's interest changes. Back then we had a lot of helpful/encouraging trips such as Volpin, Hien, Freeman, Hatsuu, Helpful Shopper Person. Now that they left there's no one to fill the void. You can see people like Voxane/Electric Barberella, Ukraine, Maguma (when he's not arguing with other people), G and Potato be encouraging, helpful and on-topic but they just don't get the same amount of recognition/praise as someone who shit posts and causes trouble. Worst case is that their helpful threads are later derailed or forgotten in favor of troll threads and spam topics.
>>
>>6416435
Or that we could have moderators who are competent enough to do their job and know what the fuck is off topic and what the fuck isn't.

thats the reason /cgl/ has so many trips you know, when you fucking give them attention like that it gives them a reason to stay/ encourage more people to start tripping

you know the dangers of such a thing, right? people will sabotage the shit out of it and will put people like God, or Masa or Hobbes on the first place and expect us still to worship their feet like they are god's gift to everything that they walk on. Also, we can have a reposetory of who's shit, but they change their trips for that very reason that it's impossible to keep up. Your asking too much. If you want to do something positive, you need to take it somewhere else. Around here, you need to drink the Kool-Aid and accept fact.

I don't know why some people are bothered by tripping. let the people who want attention and recognition go tripping. People want to stay low stay anon. What's the big deal?
>>
>>6416481
it's that old school mentality of "ANONYMOUS OR ELSE" mainly. Mostly too it's because there are some shit people and those shit people ruin it for others and it's just them telling others to save face.

>>6416468
The reason why cgl has trips is because of the social nature of cosplay.

Shouldn't the people who are actually trying to do good get the recognition they deserve?
>>
>>6416481
>>6416490
We're not bothered by tripping at all. We're bothered that a good trip got taken away because they barely slipped up even though every other trip on here gives nothing in terms of costuming advice, etc.

Getting "fit" is not costuming advice and that is why we have a fit board. If you have a question about not being a fatty, go there, we don't need a thread on here that is purely attention-whoring.
>>
So... How do we get Gropey back? ;_;

As much crap as I gave him, I honestly enjoyed his threads.
>>
Concerning shitposting, I'd like it if mods decided to actually use their mod tags and warn people or alter posts to say

>USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST

so that there would at least be some sort of presence instead of quietly doing it and allowing the view of /cgl/ being some sort of wild west-type board where off-topic posting and shitposting are embraced as part of the board culture.
>>
>>6416468
As a trip, I highly encourage this mindset. The tripsheet, while entertaining, is only driving the wedge between anon and trips deeper. Giving attention to trips is annoying for anons and usually unwelcome for trips as well.

I would give a blowjob if someone could bring this thread, or at least the fact that /cgl/ wants Mr. The Clown back to the mods on IRC. I don't know how to work it either D:

I can hope. Gropey knew so much and was such a genuinely nice guy. Yeah, he had his problems, but he makes most of the other trips on the board look like moldy ass.

His threads honestly made my days better.

just because an bunch of anons (that COULD be samefagging anyway, i doubt that highly but still possible) said they wanted someone to be unbanned I don't really think a mod can just go ahead and remove it like that, doesn't work that way anon

But he wasn't half as bad as the other namefags around here.
You don't get rid of the one helpful person on here and leave all the shitposting name/trip fags behind.

I can honestly say that I am going to cry. I trolled Gropey and reported him just to be a bitch, and now he's gone.

I feel like such a bitch. I'm sorry clownfags.
>>
>>6416623
who he was doesn't really factor into it sadly, mod decided clown threads weren't /cgl/ related so he got a ban, he posted a farewell thread during said ban and got permabanned

it's not the mods job to pick and choose who gets to belong to the /cgl/ community, people can be shitty posters all they want but mods don't really have the ability to step in unless a rules been broken
>>
>>6416700
When I see a reason about how clown makeup or armor or anything else that Gropey helped with isn't related in some way to this board over threads about what you have worn or what you look like, I'll shut up.

But until then, the mods are idiots.
>>
>>6416700
Are you not reading any of the posts, or are you just dense?

His original ban ENDED five minutes after clicking it. It was a warning ban. He then posted his fairwell, and headed over to /tg/ where he did nothing wrong.

I think the mods are just douchebags with an agenda.

I'm sorry but that's not how this board works. You don't just change the rules on a dime because you don't like a person.

There's a reason why avatar-fags are banned, there IS no reason for something that is related to this board to be taken away. How fucking daft can you be?

>>6416700
It wasn't just clown threads, though.
He helped with ways to use grease paint (which clowns use) which would apply to cosplays from metal gear solid and borderlands.
Need I remind you that there are clown cosplays?
Moxxi has clown-like makeup, and there are those like the joker and harley-quinn

I don't see how he was irrelevant at all.
>>
>>6416737
I only skimmed his farewell post, sorry about that

though he got a ban warning for making off topic threads.... then immediately made an off topic thread

He said that because of the ban. He actually LIKES to talk to folks here about themselves! Do you know how fucking rare that is among the ego-jockey queens that make up this board?

When people compared him to Johnny Bravo, it was because he mad /cgl/ a better, happier, fun place.

His haters had fun once. They hated it.

Well im glad i'm not the only one that thought it was strange that it was considered off topic. I am looking at 2 Yaya threads ON THE FRONT PAGE right now. And one thread with nothing but PT in her panties... How is a "Cosplay/lolita encounters in public" more relevant than the fabric store threads? Oh wait, here are some other threads that seem to be on topic, right?!

I'm not mad because they were deleted, im mad because people were getting banned for posting in them. I used to just lurk, finally got the courage to start posting, and now im going back to just lurking.

Explain to me how what you are wearing now or what the fuck your face looks like is, in any way, related to this board?

if I ever got a ban for those threads I would've stopped posting them altogether, that never happened though, guess the "Did you get any cosplay stuff done?" I tacked on at the end was enough for mod-san

Are you so daft that you can't read? I don't give a fuck about you, nor what you post. I want to know how what are you wearing and what you look like threads are, in any way, related to this board more than a thread about clown makeup or armor crafting?

>>6416810
and you do? you know exactly everything that's /cgl/ related and everything that isn't? everyone's got their own opinions, I don't agree with everything around here either but at the end of the day the mods have final say because their the ones holding the ban hammer

>>6416819
oh derp, sorry, the WAYWT threads are /fa/ as fuck, and the not!selfpost threads are /soc/ but who's to say the people making those threads aren't getting banned? it's a bit different than Gropeys case since it's more than one person making threads like that, you can't smoke 'em all out after all

I obviously know what's better than mods since I'm saying they need to crack down on true off topic shit instead of bringing personal feelings into play.

The fact that so many other OT threads thrive on /cgl/ just shows the silliness of the first ban on Gropey, in my opinion. I'm not pettitioning all slightly or massively OT threads be strictly bombed immediately, but it's silly to toss an apple out of a fruit salad just because. I personally think OT conversation from time to time is fine. This board is slow, I come here late at night, I am pretty laid back. For the majority of his stay here, Gropey stayed in his thread. Ifche posted to other threads it was on topic to that thread whether the thread itself was on topic or not.

I'm happy to know I'm not alone in my opinion. I like meeting people who enjoy cosplay and fashion of course, that's why I am here.

Yes, and their "agenda" is also know as "adhering to 4chan's rules".

This thread is yet another example of females being unable to be rational, preferring to make judgments over other people based on their *FEEEEEEEELINGS* rather than accepting punishment they (de jure) agreed upon.

You don't like the rules? How fucking nice, but the moment you enter a board on 4chan, you clicked "I Agree" on a popup window that tells you that you have to agree with the rules in order to post on 4chan.

Will there ever be a rational female? Probably not.

The "moderation" part is the difficult area. Off-topic silliness is ok but not only are those threads being constantly bumped up (WAYWT should just fuck off) We now see tripfags who actually try to be on topic/helpful getting reported and ban.

It's like /cgl/ wants one thing but does the opposite
>>
>>6416854
That is some Gaia-tier logic, anon.

>>6417471
I always assumed that it was because trips are easier targets to ban since they are a noticeable presence. Even if they are only doing one thing wrong they became the first one to go.

I'm just happy the help, progress and fabric threads are still running now and again. But the odd off topic thread doesn't really bother me so long as it doesn't turn into a stupid argument like the rate yourself thread yesterday.

Instead of posting off-topic content, why not make a thread in which supporters of Gropey (you sound fucking retarded when you make up names for him) share ways in which he has helped them - such as repeating the advice he gave them. Then perhaps connect the advice to Cosplay or EGL to show how he was on-topic.

If they were adhering to 4chan's rules then why exactly are there /fit/ threads, what are you wearing threads, and other off topic bull that just leads to people wanting attention for non-cosplaying topics.

He was one of our few legitimately helpful tripfags.
