It directly and clearly states in the rules of /mlp/ that it is supposed to be a worksafe board and clop is not allowed, yet I see people doing unspoilered rule 34 dumps all the time. Additionally, shitposting on /mlp/ is beyond ridiculous (hourly "I don't get the appeal" threads, hacksaw copypasta, "I want to cum inside Rainbow Dash" etc).I think if we had some mods who actually payed attention to /mlp/ and banned the people who broke the rules, or some janitors who would at least clean up the porn, it would be a much better board.Moderator Reply: >>4548
Wait for the janitor apps to open and apply.
I'll have a chat with moot later today and see if anything can be done to improve the situation
congrats and if they allow it the whole cancer will flowback to /b/ (yeah i know bronies already post on /b/ all the time since they are the biggest retards of this entire board). Why doesn't moot just fucking remove /mlp/ ban all pony thread and actually hire some fucking mods/janitors that will ban them? with all the hate pony threads it would be easy to find alot of people but nooo moot doesn't want to do the slightest shitmakes me fucking mad. 'first i ban them to show they are not welcome... and then i give them their own board to show im not consequent and everyone here can get their own board no matter how badly they shit the board up. olololo'
>>4278>/mlp/>good boardPick one.Perhaps get your filth off everyone else's boards first and allow the actual boards a chance at cleanliness.Why clean the sewer of shit when its purpose is to house it?
>>4351But the thing is, there is no rule against ponies on /b/. So as annoying as you may find it, it's not necessarily a problem.People breaking rules on /mlp/ is a legitimate problem, until they change the rules or remove the board. Personally, I would prefer that they just moderate it better.>>4326lol you don't know moot....
>>4419Yes there is, the rules specifically prohibit the posting of ALL pony content on any board other than /mlp/.
Considering /mlp/ is effectively a place designed to be the trashcan of all the content and users too shitty even for /b/, I can't see the problem.Ponyshit started off with the speed of a rocket and now is deteriorating just as fast. The problem isn't lack of mods, its the community itself. That shouldn't be a surprise for anyone.
>>4351>implying people who shitpost ponies on other boards even go to /mlp/We're perfectly fine with our cancer board thanks. The people shitting up your boards with ponies do not represent us and should be banned.
>>4419>People breaking rules on /mlp/ is a legitimate problemYes, in the same way that fecal matter infesting the sewers of the world is a problem.Your 'board' is fulfilling its intended role.
/mlp/ is drastically unmoderated because no one in the mod team wants to go to /mlp/.
>He thinks moot actually cares!
>>4447Ugh, just imagine if one of those people were actually hired as a moderator
It's time to realize that /mlp/ was made to get you out of /co/ and /b/ and mods were put to use in more important boards while bronies scramble in chaos in it's own filth of a board.
And another thing, in its current state /b/ is worse than /mlp/--this is commonly agreed upon. Only newfags think /b/ is good at all.I remember back the day /mlp/ was created, there was a rule 34 thread and a janitor deleted all the pics. Why can't they do that now? We have the right to be a decent board.
>>4463>We have the right to be a decent board.Sure, in the same way the sewer has the right to be clean of fecal matter....Wait, then where'd our shit go? Oh yeah.No.
>>4463I suppose you weren't present when the board was first confirmed?The very post that moot replied to that he would create the thread was a brony talking about how the board would destroy the fandom, and it's been doing a good job so far.
>>4459I never went on /co/ and /b/ pony threads, because it was just avatarfag circle-jerks who don't even post about the show.>>4450Why would moot create /q/ if he didn't care about all the boards? Isn't the whole point of this board site improvement?
>>4278>Caring about the content of posts in /mlp/You're too far down the rabbit hole
>>4481>Why would moot create /q/ if he didn't care about all the boards? Isn't the whole point of this board site improvement?If the mayor of a city doesn't acknowledge it's waste deposit system, the citizens get nervous as to where their waste goes.
>>4479/mlp/ has definitely not destroyed the fandom. Keep dreaming.
>>4476Your analogy breaks down when you realise that ponies were a bannable offense before /mlp/ was created. Did the shitposting on other boards stop with it's creation? No, because the shitposters don't want to discuss the show, they want to troll boards like /v/.
>>4491For fuck's sake, /mlp/ is not supposed to be a sewer. It's supposed to be /vp/ but for ponies. If you are anti-pony, you shouldn't even be in this thread.
>>4493But making you any less miserable would certainly be working away from the goal.
>>4505Exactly. /mlp/ should be a place to discuss the show, and pony shitposters on other boards should be banned.
>>4505> ponies were a bannable offense before /mlp/ was createdIn the same way that storing or transporting fecal matter in the open, outside the sewer or the waste department, is frowned upon, and illegal in some jurisdictions, yet in the sewer is it not?
>>4278But if ponies aren't allowed anywhere off of /mlp/, and clop isn't allowed on /mlp/, then where do cloppers go? Do we just plain want them off of 4chan altogether?imho that's a mistake. The best parts of 4chan exist because of the people who don't really have a home anywhere else.maybe there should be a board like /scm/ (scum?) that's explicitly for content/people that isn't allowed anywhere else (illegal is still illegal, but maybe that borderline stuff would also be allowed, idk how much legal heat 4chan gets but if it were me I'd look for that line between survival and anarchy)I think that most of you fags are forgetting that you have something you do on 4chan that wouldn't be seen as acceptable on any other 'reputable' website.
>>4511/vp/ is the the mental institution. Also a vital part of a working community.And I'm certainly no anti-pony. I've seen every episode and streamed most of them live when they aired. It doesn't mean I can't hate bronies and ponyfags with a passion.
>>4511>/mlp/ is not supposed to be a sewer>If you are anti-pony, you shouldn't even be in this thread.City workers assigned to work on "degrading" job, such as sewer treatment, are sometimes ashamed or just downright don't care anymore.And of course I shall be in here. I am a concerned citizen of this website. If fecal matter infests citizens, it has a chance of causing a global epidemic.
>>4479>>4511http://archive.foolz.us/a/thread/61425979/#61426976
>>4538We already have a board like that.It's called /b/.
Apply for the janitor position when the opportunity presents itself.
Would you just shut the fuck up and stop complaining that your shit board is full of shit?Seriously, it's not meant to be "/vp/ for ponys", it was to stop you fucking manchildren from posting your gay shit on every other board, you fucking halfwits.And yes, there are rules about posting it on /b/, it's not just an annoyance, it's breaking the rules. The rule is global, actually, so you can't post it anywhere except your shitty /mlp/.Please, just fucking kill yourselves, or grow up.
>>4545ponies aren't allowed on /b/nor is pretty much any photo of a child
>>4401I'm not a brony myself but even I can tell its the scum of the community that shitposts around on other board. Lots of them probably aren't even bronys. You dont have to be a genious to put two and two together.While I agree that getting ponys off of other boards seems appropriate people just have to accept that it will never happen. The most effective way of banning is essentially, ineffective. For the most part. As much as I want to make 4chan a better place getting people to stop shitposting is a lofty goal and all together impossible. It isn't something you can just fix as an administrator. You need to rely on the community for that to stop.
>>4548When do you think moot will open the applications? 'weeks' is a very unclear.
>>4548He shouldn't apply for janitor, he should kill himself.
Reported for posting ponies outside of >>>/mlp/Rules are rules.
>>4549But have the ponies been completely removed from your home boards? Considering you're here, I'd say no.I'll reiterate, /mlp/ has nothing to do with people shitposting ponies on other boards. We despise them as much as you do.
>>4538>Do we just plain want them off of 4chan altogether?You might've noticed that /mlp/ doesn't want them and the rest of 4chan doesn't want them either, so yes.>/scm/That's essentially what /mlp/ is already. It'd only be a matter of time until we'd need another board for the kind of stuff that even /scm/ doesn't want.>I think that most of you fags are forgetting that you have something you do on 4chan that wouldn't be seen as acceptable on any other 'reputable' website.That doesn't mean we need to accept absolutely everything. In my book /b/ draws the line at the right place, everything goes - except for the worst of the worst of the worst. It's fine the way it is.
>>4556Then take that shit to some other chan. If it doesn't belong to /b/, it doesn't belong on 4chan.
>>4568Haha, doing the same.
>>4548Do you know what type of questions will be asked on the application?Like, any hints?
>>4563>Lots of them probably aren't even bronys.Just like lots of things that go into the sewer isn't just fecal matter. There's also vast amount of other bodily fluids, and sometimes good old fashioned fish.
>>4568Actually, considering its about the website and not about ponies. It's not. Faggot. If you're not here to help the site then get out.
>>4563I agree with you, but the only way you can eliminate bronies is by ignoring them, and that tends to be hard. Especially if they're samefagging.imagine going to your favourite bar and you see 2 dudes in furry-suits blowing eachother. Yeah most people wont ignore that.
>>4572>You might've noticed that /mlp/ doesn't want themI'm sure the sewer and its workers don't want fecal matter there either, but that's what it's designed for.
>>4594>>4278>welp.png
>>4594"posting ponies" includes images.
>>4578The last app was something like this.>Email>Board>WhyThey were fairly simple. I'd recommend explaining why you deserve the spot thoroughly but keeping it from getting too long.
>>4594The OP has a pony as the picture, and the post itself is about ponies.It's a rule violation.
>>4572>That doesn't mean we need to accept absolutely everything.This is true.A sewer should not accept appliances, scrap metal, plastics, or any good stuff like that that can be reused and formed into something good.A sewer is a place for things that have no return.
>>4619Yeah, I'm going to try for /g/ and keep the reason like 2 paragraphs long...
I would just like to thank 7jzDdX6k for making my day.
>>4604>the only way you can eliminate bronies is by ignoring themUnfortunately, some things just are.People can ignore their waste all they want, but in the end, the waste will consume them and eventually ruin their lives if they have no plan of where to store it.You see, shit may be shit, but it needs a place to be stored and transported to, to keep it out of healthy citizens' lives.
The old janitor Application is still up, http://www.4chan.org/tmp/janitorapp.php
What if we made a NSFW version of /mlp/ for all the cloppers to go to, and kept the original for people who actually want to discuss the show and not endlessly post porn? Either that, or allow clop on /b/. I don't know if I would be a good janitor, I hate to even look at clop and most of the time I'm on 4chan on my phone or just checking in periodically.
>>5057Are you even reading what you're posting right now?Stop trying to fucking pander to the pony./mlp/ shouldn't have even been made, and now you want to make a fucking /clop/ board?THERE ARE OTHER CHANS AND WEBSITES DEDICATED TO THIS!
/mlp/ needs to go the way of /fur/.
Why don't we just have janitors ban idiots who post porn that isn't spoilered?
>>5112Moderators, dammit. The point still stands.
>>5104Too bad 99 out of 100 people who post there will just evade 20 seconds after being banned.And then guess what happens.
That's a lot of scatological analogies ITT, coming from one samefag no less.
>>5104That won't bring anything other than shitposting to other boards, seeing how easy 4chan bans are to evade.
Faggots who are claiming /mlp/ should have never existed need not bother, because it does exist and will continue to exist. Also, you really think the dicks on /b/ are the ones on /mlp/? Highly unlikely. We left /b/ for a reason, thank you very much.
>>5118It's what we desperately need, yes. Don't think we'll get a mod anytime soon but a few janitors to clean up all the porn would be nice. Might even allow actually decent threads to crop up.
We don't need mods. We successfully self-moderate for 6 months.
I'm pretty sure no one has the interest to be a real mod on /mlp/. [spoiler] except me to be rather honest[/spoiler]I'm pretty sure some one would just sign up for mod and then just nuke everyone who posts on /mlp/ off the face of the planet.
>>5321>successfullyWell, that's debatable.
>>5346Look at the board. What do you see ? One weird thread out of 15 on the front page. Not even a thread about porn. We dealt with no mods for months, I don't know why we wouldn't continue.
But you don't need janitors, you need to kill yourself.
I highly doubt they would enforce the no pony rule on a meta board that obviously requires discussion of ponies at some point.
>>5390It also is in the morning. The edgy shitposting teenagers aren't awake yet.
>>5444But the only threads posted by edgy teens would die withing minutes.
>>5390>One weird thread out of 15 on the front page.Really now? Are you so used to shitty threads that you don't even see it anymore?
>>5492Probably.
>>5466You could replace edgy shitposting teenagers with fat manchildren who still lives like a teenager.Regardless, on 'Merkan time the morning usually holds better discussion. Now, what we define as better or discussion, on the other hand...
>>5521>You could replace edgy shitposting teenagers with fat manchildren who still lives like a teenager.This can be applied to the whole 4chan.
But let's be honest for second. /mlp/ is pretty much a concentration board.Even if it isn't one officially, it's still a pretty crappy board that is usually part of a raid cycle which goes like this:Other board (attempts) trolling/raiding /mlp/, /mlp/ responds by posting pony related things in other boards, the cycle never ends and you pretty much have people who are skeptical on whether /mlp/ is a legitimate board.With decent mods and janitors, we can delete posts/ban trolls off /mlp/, with that people will feel more comfortable with /mlp/ and keep their posts therebut then again, I'm talking out of my ass
>>5550Fair enough. I'm trying to say that shitposting is in higher quantity at night than in the morning.
How could I guess before even reading this thread it would just get a bunch of "That board is for shit and garbage anyways, so who cares"? People are too fucking stupid to know that most people who post on there seriously don't go to other boards and spam ponies all over the place because that's what that board is made for. I'm sure there are plenty of people who go to /mlp/ that don't post ponies on other boards while discussing other things.On topic, /mlp/ needs a mod/janitors desperately. The only issue with it is that no-one who doesn't like ponies would want to do it and most on the board would end up being jackasses and delete threads that don't break the rules just because they didn't like them. Unfortunately, it leaves the board in kind of a stuck stasis of having to wade through 34, dubs, and other threads against the rules to find the threads you want.
>>5521And the rest of the /mlp/ population are quality upstanding paragons of virtue, I'm sure.
>>5573I frequent /mlp/ and keep my pony-related postings inside of /mlp/ and nowhere else and I'm planning on applying for janitor when moot opens up the applications. Hopefully other people from there who are genuinely interested in the board becoming more of a discussion/creativity based place and less of a shithole will too.
>>5581The same way you prefer healthy turds over flaming diarrhea out your ass.
/mlp/ needs to be deleted.
I don't get why you guys can't handle some pony porn every now and then. You guys are proud of watching a show for little girls, so it's not like anyone's going to judge you. Are you guys just autistic or something and can't ignore it?
>>5711We shouldn't have to ignore it if we don't want to see it. By that logic, you have no right to complain about how it's in other boards and I don't even have to second guess myself in that assumption because.>not understanding what you're mockingNever change, internet.
>>5565I can guarantee roughly half of the people that shitpost with pony pictures never go to /mlp/ and a good portion of those don't even watch the show and just saved a whole thread's worth of reaction images because they it'll piss people off just by being there. At least that happens on /v/.
>>5711If it was only some, I wouldn't mind. It's 4chan after all. But when good threads regularly turn into porn dumps it starts to get a bit irritating.
>>5662Sadly, it's rather late because there is (some how) a community on thereEven if they did ban everyone there, it would mean a huge flow of ponies towards other boards, and will end up making a huge shit storm.All because of technicolor ponies...
>>5662It's the worst idea. The board is very active. All the fans will go to others boards instead of staying in /mlp/.>>5711>proudIs that a joke ?
>>5758Usually, only the shit threads turn into porn dumps.
>>5833Actually they become dub threads
>>5057>What if we made a NSFW version of /mlp/ for all the cloppers to go to, and kept the originalShould one split the sewer into two sewers, one for fecal matter and one for other bodily fluids?>>5159>We left /b/ for a reason, thank you very much.In the same way that fecal matter left humans' colons into the sewer? Apparently they can choose... though why they choose the sewer, we may never know.>>5573>most people who post on there seriously don't go to other boards and spam ponies all over the placeExactly, the same way sewer workers don't go around all day cleaning fecal matter where ever they go, or otherwise spread news about their jobs as fecal matter cleaners. But they're still sewer workers.
>>5711>Are you guys just autistic or something and can't ignore it?As stated beautifully by myself,>>4673 >People can ignore their waste all they want, but in the end, the waste will consume them and eventually ruin their lives if they have no plan of where to store it. You see, shit may be shit, but it needs a place to be stored and transported to, to keep it out of healthy citizens' lives.
>>5742>I can guarantee roughly half of the people that shitpost with pony pictures never go to /mlp/Indeed, in the same way that, in collection with all living things on Earth, less than half of fecal matter on Earth goes to sewers. Does that mean we should remove the sewers because, globally, it is bad?
/mlp/ needs to troll less, probably that way moot will give more fucks about you.
As somebody who's watched the show, never goes to /mlp/, and has literally 0 MLP-related images on my computer, I'm just sad this shit has gone the way it's gone. I mean, never before has something garnered so much hate that using a reaction image from it can completely derail a thread.For the record, I despise bronies. Not because they make an awful stereotype for anyone that watches it, but because they're generally just fucking awful, horrifying people. The worst parts of every internet community show up in the brony community. Please know people can like this show and not be fanatical about it, regardless of how fucking small that percentage is. It's okay because it's better than most shows for its demographic. It's OKAY. I'd never recommend it to anyone unless they are specifically interested. I cannot see how people can take this to beyond Sonic-fandom levels of Full Retard in a time span of less than 2 years.But honestly, the true reason I have nothing but hate and contempt for bronies is this: I was there from the beginning. First thread during the first episode. People were joking about how mediocre/awful this show was but were interested that people that worked on PPG were on it so they watched. Right at the end, when the first episode ended on a cliffhanger and people flipped their shit, I should've known what would happen. But I didn't. Threads began as quality discussion, drawfagging, etc. Honestly Month 1 pony threads were innocent. November and December slowly got creepier and creepier, and I just plain never went back into them around January. But not before I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I was there when an anon coined "brony". I, among others, encouraged that its use become commonplace. It's partially my fault. I helped make this.I'm so sorry.
>>5937Will you stop that "shitpositing" ?/mlp/ has plenty of waste but it's kept in cancer containers. I keep ignoring the MLPG, fluffy ponies, /b/read, anon in equestria. And it works just fine, and I can wallow in the slightly original threads.
>>6004Can these people who keep making sewer analogies please be banned?
>>6122>/mlp/ has plenty of waste but it's kept in cancer containersThe same way that fecal matter in sewers in actually contained in specialized canisters so that it doesn't mix with the other bodily....Wait a minute....
>>6136I fail to see how my actions are wrong.Is this board not a board for discussion of rules and regulations?What better way to discuss a point than to relate it equally to something all people come across daily?
>>6136I'm from /mlp/ and I personally find them hilarious.Also, if you haven't noticed already, it's the same guy.
There's a stupid amount of bitching here from people who just want to flame ponies//mlp/ rather than debate.It's true that /mlp/ is a sfw board (blue background and all) so the clop threads don't belong. You've either really got four choices, created a /clp/ board (similar to how wsg came up), allow mlp clop threads to be on /b/, or else turn /mlp/ into a nsfw board to officially accept clop threads, or just start enforcing the rules and removing all clop threads straight away (basically kicking them off the site)I think turning it into a nsfw board would just encourage clop threads and push it much more towards that aspect rather than the show discussion. Also, as a clopper said here, just saying "they need to gtfo and find another website" is stupid too. Yeah, one of 4chan's biggest appeals is that it's "a home for people who have none" and most of what a good chunk of people do here is also shunned and also has other websites they can go to; /b/'s not the only random imageboard, why don't we tell them to fuck off and go find another site while we focus on our topical boards?. Creating a /clp/ board seems excessive though and I think it would slip a relatively small fanbase. There are people who do both, make clop threads as well as contribute to show discussion, but they've be taken to /clp/ and /mlp/ would probably even slower.Personally I think /mlp/ should start being enforced more and cleaned out, but then clop threads/a clop thread should be allowed on /b/ just like any other porn is.It's tricky alright.
>>6214I just want them to make every board NSFW.Because fuck, what kind of dumbass browses 4chan at work, anyway?
