Long story short, cosplay relevant threads are being deleted and tripfags known to be a positive influence on the board are receiving bans whey shittys ones are not.

The only problem I have is that who ever is modding the board has no idea about the "culture" of /cgl/. As we've already complained, threads that are /cgl/ relevant (yes, including catty PT threads) are being deleted while threads along the line of "/fit/ here, why are you all sluts?" are left to explode on the front page.

TLDR: the mods on /cgl/ don't know what /cgl/ is
>>
>>284072 (OP)
Before people start complaining about "off topic" threads,
Makeup/Cosplay&Loli Drama/green-text/ general entertaining /cgl/ culture related threads are getting deleted while TRULY off topic shit threads ("Why can't I find a girlfriend?" "Why is /cgl/ full of whores?" "Why are women..." etc) remain untouched by mods.

I just don't get why the /fit/ threads stay up for ages, they get their kicks "invading" us and nobody likes it

Question to you all. If a topic gets derailed, should it be reported if there is no sign of it going back on topic?

I don't. Usually I just start posting pics that pertain to the main topic and answer a question relating to the main topic that went unanswered/ ask a question myself. It usually works as the trolls and shitposters usually get bored if the thread returns to the main topic.

The moderation isn't the problem. Our janitor is doing a fine job. The residents of /cgl/ need to take responsibility for their board's content by making higher quality posts on their own accord. If they hold their own posts to the standards they're demanding from other people, they can change things. Complaining about moderation is the equivalent of saying that our janitor should be the person controlling the content of every thread, and that's ridiculous.

"Known to be a positive influence on the board" is not a free pass to break the rules. The mods don't look at tripfags and say "well they're normally OK so I'll let them off," the mods don't look at an off topic thread and sift through it looking for said tripfags or unsung heroes saging and flooding as "self-moderation." That's favoritism and has no place on 4chan. moot and the mods make and enforce the rules on 4chan, not some clique of tripfags. They delete, ban, and threadban when appropriate.

Decade avatars and at least once has flooded in an off topic troll thread which got seen by a mod, deleted, and probably threadbanned.

It was several months back, in the beginning of /q/ that Moot - somewhat - addressed the issue we are discussing right now.
Several large threads on /q/ expressed the need for a /fem/ board - a board designed for femanons they we can talk girly matters, anything from fashion to period threads. After several days/a couple of weeks, Mootykins finally answered. He said that there is no need to create a board. While he admitted the growing female population on 4chan, he argued that some of those /fem/-related topics could fall under existing boards, such as /fa/ or /adv/.
He also said that regarding the other topics, such as haircare, makeup, skincare and others, they are integrated into /cgl/ and have their place there.
Obviously, that is no longer the case today. Such topics are banned from /cgl/ and anything not included into EGL or Cosplay gets banned by the mods. We even had a grimoire thread disappear just the other day, meaning that even J-fashion now belongs outside /cgl/, yet /jp/ still won't accept it.
On the other hand, there is an overflow with mini-invasions from the other boards, especially /fit/, /a/ and /r9k/, who use /cgl/ as some sort of online survey where they question women on a wide variety of topics, such as 'why are all girls sluts', 'have you been raped when you were a child', 'how many guys have you slept with', 'would you date this guy' and so on. These threads have a quite long life span, while alternative fashions and care threads gets deleted immediately.

That begs the question: where do such threads belong now? If we are no longer allowed to post such things on existing boards, does that mean that there will be a creation of a new /fem/ board, after all? Or will the moderation on /cgl/ change to include alternative fashions/lifestyles in general?
>>
>>284277
That would just attract even more invasions. It would need heavy, intelligent moderation to counteract them, which is exactly what /cgl/ lacks...
>>
>>284284
I guess you are right regarding the /fem/ topics. We all know that moot cannot spare his few mods to /cgl/ when bigger boards like /a/, /mu/ and /sp/ need so much help.
But what about the broadening of /cgl/ to also include alternative fashions/care threads?
>>
>>284288
Broadening the topics allowed on /cgl/ seems to be the only option, it's a relatively slow board that needs little moderation besides the "invasions"...
>>
>>284288

It seems straight up ridiculous to ban and delete jfash threads, especially gyaru, fairy kei, mori, dolly-kei, and similar, because they're so inexorably linked with lolita and girls often buy from the same stores.
>>
>>284277
I think hair, make-up, hair, alternative fashion, etc. should remain on /cgl/. I don't know, call it /cgl/ - Cosplay, Gyaru, Lolita, Etc. or whatever so you don't have to change the URL, which I heard is more trouble than it's worth. These threads have been on /cgl/ for years with no problems and no need for moderator intervention. But I think feels and periods should go to /adv/, /r9k/, and /b/ where they belong.

/cgl/ was fine until we started getting raided on a constant basis almost a year ago, and I campaigned hard to get that stuff removed exhausting every avenue I could think of (reporting, hiding, not replying, IRC, e-mailing moot, making /cgl/ threads and /q/ threads discussing it), but I feel like I've been ignored all the while. Things were OK for a while when our janitor was checking in two or three times a day deleting shitposting from other boards, but they slowly stopped doing anything. I assume they were just plucked from the existing janitor/moderator pool on volunteer duty and got sick of it. We had a huge stretch where no one was doing anything about shitposts from other boards, yet there were random bans for drama here and there. It was only within the past few weeks that a mod seemed to be checking in regularly and handing out bans (not that I don't appreciate it), but they seem to be scorching the Earth a little.
rbt.asia/cgl/thread/6419636
(mind you, there's no proof that OP didn't delete that for some reason, of course)
>>
>>284296
Exactly. And make-up and skincare are also indirectly related to both, cosplay and Lolita, just like wigs.
Having such threads that we considered part of our culture continuously deleted is exactly why we decided to raise this issue here on /q/ and hope for either, a fix to the problem or at least a clarification on where we should take such threads next. We considered /jp/ since J-fashions may be considered otaku but /jp/sies won't have it.
>>
>>284301
I agree with you. Making alternative J-fashion officially part of /cgl/ seems to be the only way for the mods to stop eradicating those threads.
Then we would still get the off-topic dramu, invasions and 'why is cgl x' type of threads deleted, but we would get to keep the topics which made me become a seagull in the first place.

Also, it seems the thread on moderation on /cgl/ got deleted, so I guess the mods are aware of this issue now.
>>
>>284302
>Having such threads that we considered part of our culture

Board culture is not a good excuse for anything, especially off topic posting.

No one gives a flying fuck about your favorite tripfag. Why is it so hard to comprehend?

Just because he's tripping does not mean he's above the rules.

What happened to the active thread on /cgl/ was it was deleted?

There was a lot of discussion going on on the subject and no one was breaking the rules. Why would it be removed?
>>
>>284314
That culture is things that Moot himself said that belonged to our board, despite not being specified in the rules. Having such threads deleted now causes mass confusion and butthurt. Nothing shocking there.
>>284340
They want to put down a mutiny by limiting our access to free information @.@
>>
The posters make the board, right? Sometimes boards organically add new related themes and this shouldn't be condemned out of hand. Discussions of subfashions has been going on for a long time on /cgl/ and seems like a good fit. It wasn't causing problems at least. Allowing such talk would also be within the spirit of the board, as the acronym EGL already refers to one subfashion. For that matter convention talk on /cgl/ is considered a natural outgrowth of cosplay, and a fair amount of people do show up in Japanese subfashions at cons. Just as there's lots of overlap between people who cosplay and dress as lolitas, so is there between many other subfashions. So if mods and janitors could be more flexible it would be nice.

Just replying to this here since the OP may delete the other thread. One time /fit/ raided per the usual and a mod with their capcode on not only ignored the few threads on /fit/ inciting it (posting with their capcode on in one or two of them), but the ~20 resultant threads on /cgl/, because some were pushing for a /cgl/-/fit/ meet-up and he wanted to participate.
rbt.asia/cgl/thread/6337020#p6338529
So a mod is allowing their biases to get in the way of their duties because they too have been sucked into the frenzied behavior triggered by the notion of a secret "girl board" trove. Initially I felt it should've stayed in my e-mail to moot, but it pisses me off so much and the unresponsiveness of staff compelled me to share.

That's understandable. Going straight here could mean a poster ends up a lone voice because nobody replies. Which just gives the impression it's not a major problem. It's more effective to mobilize a response on the affected board first.

I don't think the janitor was unreasonable though, the threads were deleted only after maxing out.
>>
>>284414
>a poster ends up a lone voice because nobody replies
Funny thing you mention that. Last week I started a thread over here regarding the 'Average Korean GF' problem that a lot of boards on 4chan tend to have. Despite the fact that there were several anon responding that indeed, they also have seen that happen on board X or board Y, because of a lack of actual board posters, it went down pretty quickly despite my attempts to keep it up.
I think that really poses a big problem. It is unlikely posters will leave their respective boards and start lurking /q/ in order for them to stumble over a thread concerning their board and say 'yes, it's true, we have that problem'.

LOL i actually think you got /jp/'s old janitor (i pray to god she is gone for good).

Not even you vapid sluts deserve this bitch (we call her NSJ or new shitty janitor) but she is a /cgl/ reject so it makes sense she's back where she belongs. im pretty sure she quit /jp/ after crying to moot because everyone hates her, she gets dedicated hate threats throughout the day and many image macros created to express contempt for her.

she is a loathsome spiteful bitch, good luck.

>>
>>284441

she deletes an uncountable amount of on-topic posts. also banned a few tripfags but that's pretty much it. despite knowing nothing about the board or board culture she gets to decide what is and what is not /jp/ material. our old janitor was great until moot made him ragequit then we got this stupid bitch who like i said is a from /cgl/ and knows nothing about /jp/.

"otaku culture" is an incredibly large and nebulous range of topics so she pretty much got to play god with which threads got deleted and which didn't.

the reason i think you have her is because you are having the same complaints we did, the timing matches up perfectly, and she is from /cgl/. i could be wrong but i doubt it.
>>
>>284459

so, basically exactly what the current /cgl/ janitor is doing to us right now then?

Do you have her picture or some of the hate thread material you mentioned? Maybe we can do what /jp/ did and just abuse her until she fucks off.

fuuuuck this is EXACTLY what our janitor is doing.

I don't want to be a goody-two-shoes but I have a feeling that is not something Moot would appreciate and we may get a slap for it from Moot.

Just an idea, but what about creating a new board for J-fashion? That was all the lolita/mori/girl drama can be contained on one board and they'll get to stink up their own territory while the cosplayers can have a shot at pulling themselves together. Then the lolitas' issues will be penned up in one place for them to deal with on their own.
>>
>>284483
we've tried doing that but it never worked out
plus whether we like it or not j fashion is still connected to other cgl topics such as makeup and can help us out occasionally
>>
>>284494
What do you mean by "tried"? There was a J-fashion board at one point?! I had no idea.

I feel like the topics have some overlap, but not enough to warrant keeping them together. I believe wig styling and weird shoes is where the similarities end, because overdone lolita/gal/gyaru makeup does not seem like the way to go with cosplay makeup. I don't see how crafting armor or building swords could help a lolita, and I don't see how knowing all the lolita Taobao shops, which itas are stinking up communities, or MANABANANASAMA will aid the cosplayers.

Because these two very different subjects also touch upon tangential subjects, it's too much criteria for one board and so truly staying "on topic" is difficult...

(Some of this is a re-post from the now deleted /cgl/ mod thread)

1 Pictures depicting those in costume play ("cosplay") and elegant gothic lolita ("EGL") dress are welcome.
2 Don't bring community drama into this board. Singling out particular cosplayers and trolling them will not be tolerated.
3 ALL DRAMA ALL THE TIME!

these are the actual rules. I've been banned recently for number #2, even though rule #3 is a clear contradiction. Although it was obviously a sarcastic addition (probably around the time our name was changed to /drama/), at the same time it is an acknowledgement that the petty girl bullshit is a very integrated part of our board's culture. If every other board gets to have their own shitty "board culture" aspects, why can't we have ours?
>>
>>284483
/cgl/ is not just cosplay, you know? As another anon pointed out, the demand for a exclusively cosplay board is not high enough to reason the creation of one.
>>
>>284502
nah not really
it was in the talks but nothing actually happened because there wasn't enough reason for it
also the application of makeup, such as the techniques, remain very similar in terms of the types of makeup used, etc. and taobao helps with wigs that could be used in some cosplays.

Also why is our board being penalized for adopting the "off-topic" threads that other boards refuse to tolerate? None of the other boards are going to allow us to talk about skin care, make-up, hair and other subcultures of Japanese fashion. People touting that it needs to be taken to /fa/-- have you even BEEN there? They don't want these threads and we have always embraced them with open arms. Wouldn't the issue then be with the other boards that won't let us talk about this shit even though that's "supposed" to be their territory? This board is already extremely narrow in its topic; there is only so much you can talk about something as niche as cosplay and lolita. It's literally two Japanese fashion subcultures out of hundreds. I think people across the /cgl/ can mutually agree that other Japanese fashion subcultures and face/hair/body care general are okay and welcome because they are so closely integrated and intertwined with the usual discussions.

Another /jp/sie here, I was compelled to come to /q/ to see if there was a post on this, but all I found was garbage.

First, people are asking "for a /cgl/ mod" or something similar - no such thing, mods are global
>Waah the janitor is deleting period threads and off-topic chit chat
That's just enforcing the rules. Stop whining about it. Seems to me the only reason people are upset is because their favorite tripfag got banned. Who cares? First off, it's a team effort (which is to say, a janitor can only submit a request for a ban, therefore at least 2 people or 1 mod who happens to be browsing /cgl/ can decide it) and second tripfags shouldn't be exempt from the rules just because they're liked.

What you are all complaining about only comes down to 1 legitimate issue: That threads related to /cgl/ (makeup, wigs etc) are being deleted and some raids have not been paid much attention to. Beyond that, there's no wrong-doing.

Look, for example, at this post:
>>284515
>why is our board being penalized for adopting the "off-topic" threads
If your board as a community can't grasp the concept of how off-topic posts are going to be deleted, then what's your problem?
>>
>>284545
>If your board as a community can't grasp the concept of how off-topic posts are going to be deleted, then what's your problem?

I don't really understand what you mean.

We understand what off-topic posts are, but our board culture finds most j-fashion subculture threads and hair/makeup to be quite relevant and are accepted. While I get that the board rules doesn't explicitly state that these threads aren't off-topic, anybody who regularly browses the board would know these threads have never been an issue (until they get derailed with petty girl drama maybe, but that happens to literally every thread ever on /cgl/). It's not as if these threads are wildly off-topic about shit like outer space and cars or something. They run along the same vein as the rest of our general discussion does.
>>
>>284545
The real issue is not the supposed "off-topic" threads that have long been considered extremely on-topic, but that the board itself only encompasses two extremely narrow and niche Japan fashion subcultures. It's way too specific when there is a lot more that could be talked about. Perhaps there would be less shitposts, repeat topics and petty drama if the board had an officially broader topic of discussion. I suppose another issue would be that apparently our janitor right now has no idea what is mutually considered /cgl/ appropriate and it's creating an endless shitstorm.

I can't speak for the "omg good tripfags getting banned" topic though, I pay no attention to the circlejerks.
>>

I think they're asking for a mod that understands /cgl/. That won't happen, of course, but a janitor could happen. Honestly I think that it must be just some mod that stumbled upon there.

Also I'd like to add if you wanted to get VERY rule specific, the board name is "Cosplay and ELEGANT GOTHIC Lolita." Elegant gothic is such a retardedly specific kind of lolita that everything there is to say about it could probably literally be contained to one thread. Obviously the board discussion was not meant to be limited to this one very specific kind of lolita, but that's what it says right? That's the rule, right? We should delete every thread that does not pertain to specifically Elegant Gothic Lolitas, right?

Again, to repeat myself, this is why I feel that /cgl/ could deeply benefit from Moot giving the official okay that j-fashion and hair/face threads are NOT off-topic and should not be deleted. In fact, from what I've seen over the years, these threads tend to be actually the most helpful and dramaless. The name doesn't have to change, there should just be an additional rule/reminder on the board that these posts are fine so that maybe the janitor could stop ruining the board and that die-hard nay-sayers could stop shitposting with "OFF TOPIC" and reports.

Can we agree to NOT have kpop as an official part of cgl? It sounds like crap, the look all plastic, and it has nothing to do with cosplay or lolita.
Make up is relevant because cosplayers and lolitas use it. Jfash is relevant because styles can be mixed with lolita, or e.g grimoire stockings can be used for dolly or lolita.
But no more kpop god please no

Now that you mention it, you are right. By the defaults rule sweet Lolita, classic, all of those are off-topic.
I wonder if upon hearing this, the new janitor will actually delete those threads too?

Here's the problem

People make WAYW, makeup and J-fashion threads and get blasted by people saying "go to /fa/!" The problem is that /fa/ does not welcome these threads. Why should /cgl/ take in these extra threads when the more relevant board refuses to acknowledge a topic meant for them?
>>
>>284716
Uh, /fa/ has WAYWT threads all the time, and yes, I know it's mostly men posting in them. It doesn't matter a bit.
>>
>>284716
WAYW are not good threads. They are not at all as close to being board relevant as j-fashion and make-up are. Most of them turn into cam whoring sessions and petty fights anyway. I agree with >>284721, they already exist in /fa/ and should probably stay there.

I agree the drama and the kpop are terrible. "Baww, PT dramu threads arepart of /cgl" No, they're against the rules, go be catty bitches elsewhere.
>>284716
The problem with /fa is that it's all goth ninja, dadcore, masculine style. There's are hardly ever uselful concrit for girls. I like the WAYW and J-fash threads. The go hand in hand with wigs, costumes, care threads, etc.

Do you know the rules of /cgl/?

>3. ALL DRAMA ALL THE TIME!
>>
>>284819
But why though?
>>
>>284829
Why what? Why drama? You're essentially inviting women to come together to discuss something. I think you can figure that part out.

Sometimes I think of /cgl/ a little like /mlp/ or /vp/. It's a bit of a cancer container. Do you think the rest of the boards want these people? We have had dramu and vendettas for a long time. They should stay. I even kind of like them
>>
>>284844
>implying it contains them

It only contains the subject matter, you've probably discussed things with the cancer on multiple occasions without realizing. You may even have agreed with them on topics or found them to be of sound mind.

The only way to avoid the cancer is to leave.

Just change the board to Cosplay and J-Fashion.

2. No Drama
3. Drama all the time
The rules are a bit of joke as you can see. But if you want a serious interpretation then #3 acknowledges that drama is part of the board culture. Rule #2 doesn't compel mods to act, it just gives them an excuse to act if the drama gets out of hand.

As for K-pop, threads used to pop up everywhere so clearly lots of people felt the need to discuss it. Unfortunately /mu/ hates K-pop and moot is reluctant to start a Korea board so one thread is the compromise. I'm fine with it, and I'm somebody who used to report that shit all the time.
>>
Hey moot, can you make people less mean on /cgl/?
>>
>>284597
We have a kpop thread once a month, I don't see a problem

It has absolutely nothing to do with the board. No kpop. No.
