And on the topic of shit /cgl/ needs, we really need a stickied thread for all the newfags who come onto our board. Something along the lines of

>No Milanoo
>Ask for suggestions in the suggestion thread
>Don't make a specific thread about rating your cosplay
>Wigs are a must
>Other helpful cosplay tips that we are constantly repeating like a broken record

So if we got a mod- or even had one passing by that had the power to sticky a thread like that- that would be fantastic

When /cgl/'s janitor/mod was new, they deleted on-topic stuff and when they banned me (3-day), every post I had ever made got deleted. Is that normal for a ban? I got banned on /y/ once, but my posts stayed up. It felt like the janitor was going crazy for one week, then got tired of it and now only deletes shit every now and then.

Here's the previous thread so we don't need to go over the same things again.

I'd really like to get the word/trip bans I mentioned get taken care of because they're indisputably repeat offenses with 0 productive value.

That last one globally, specifically, because it's posted on other boards and invites the very people that ruined the board for 6 months and necessitated the need for intervention in the first place.

>>54282
Oh thanks. There are a lot of good ideas. I agree with you on banning of certain trips, and I think Static should be added to that list. Furthermore, I would like to say that there are some posters who are clearly underageb& who, in my opinion, should be allowed to stay unless they stir up shit. (mainly Angela, that girl can sew).

Not that this can be fixed or anything, but I may as well bring the topic to the table. I've been noticing that trips are being frequently labelled as shitposters for defending themselves. For example, 50s Housewife has to deal with an onslaught of accusations about her relationship with Maguma. She does respond to these in her own defense, and because of that is blamed for the derailing of threads and whatever. (Also, I'm not 50s Housewife, that was just the best example I could come up with).

>>54522

The problem stems from the fact that they trip when it isn't necessary for them to identify themselves.

I honestly have no sympathy. They chose to draw attention to themselves so they will have to deal with people attacking them whenever they post with their trip on

>>54522
Nope. No exceptions for miners.

>>54232
Usually, when you're banned by a moderator, all your posts are delted since they clearly violated the law. Rarely, they'll make an example of you by keeping the posts and instead adding them huge red letter saying you were banned. I believe that most of the time, when you get banned and your posts stay, it's because it's like a ban on multiple users (e.g. when people post in a Naruto thread on /a/, then they ban everyone who posted in it). Same goes for automatic bans (forbidden text, your post is spam etc.), shouldn't delete posts either.

I imagine nobody wants to touch /cgl/ because its fucking drama central. Trust females to turn an anonymous imageboard into personal shit flinging.

>>54670
>clearly violated the law
Uh, what? Maybe someone posting CP but not the average banned user. Usually just the offending post is deleted along with the ban. And yeah the new janitor lost her damn mind deleting lolita threads and anything she thought was slightly offtopic, including Buy/Sell/Trades and suggestion threads, but a bunch of people complained to moot and now I think she's either been told to chill or just naturally chilled.

Please ban Static.
She's underage and completely fucking retarded.

>>54743
I can't say for sure, but maybe if you're banned specifically, you get the special treatment which includes a delete all posts buttons, since you specifically earned a mod's attention from shitposting etc.

Like that girl on /cgl/ that posts ponies.

>>54788
This. I think any trip that openly outs themselves as underage needs to be banned. A lot of us meet in real life on /cgl/, especially trips. We don't need underaged people getting caught up in things.

I just want there to be less what are you wearing/how do you feel threads. please.

Original poster of >>46377 & >>46479 here, I would really like the population of the board to recognize how moderation and janitoring on 4chan works. Things do not change if you do not report them. They do not just sit there on the board refreshing over and over waiting to see something pop up. Mods and janitors access a report list and take action from there. Wondering why shit threads aren't getting deleted? Probably doesn't have enough reports to jump to the top of the queue for attention.

Honestly, /cgl/ isn't as bad as it used to be (and this is coming from someone who has been here since shortly after the boards inception.) A little bit more moderation from both ourselves and maybe one or two more janitors to offset the other's time away.

Although I personally love discussing these things, and want to make the board a better place. So let's hope this doesn't sink to the bottom of page 10 again.

>>54169
I think if we have a sticky we should make a huge list of cosplay resources. For example where to get wigs, tabao stuff, good commissioners, etc. That way we can also provide a resource for people.

Sometimes I feel like I have to say "REPORT THIS THREAD" just to remind people to actually do it. However that's against the rules...
Why are seagulls so lazy?

Most of the posters on /cgl/ are girls and girls are gross. Is there some way we could moderate their grossness?

I also would like to encourage IDs being added to /cgl/. I personally cannot think of a way they could hurt the board.

IMO /cgl/ needs to be renamed. Don't change the shortcut, because we are already used to the seagull thing, but change the page title to "cosplay & japanese street fashion" or something like that. I just hate it when we try to talk about any fashion outside of lolita/cosplay and some shitposters mention how /cgl/ isn't the place for it. Well guess what, /fa/ isn't going to welcome us either.

>>55239
it used to be /con/

/cgl/ NEEDS IDS

there's a lot of tripdropping and samefaggotry and accusations of said things which just shit up the board

the number one thing it needs of course is multiple janitors to clean up the DRAMA horseshit.

I think the janitor(s) have been really inconsistent. To me, a thread should be permitted to stay up as long as it's somehow related to conventions, cosplay or Lolita--however obliquely. (One could argue the beauty and /fit/ threads are related because they help with aesthetics in both communities.)

Convention/weeaboo horror stories, awkward-sex-in-cosplay-or-lolita threads and even drama threads about persons involved in either community would also fall under this umbrella, I think. This should be fine so long as topics like these haven't been horribly derailed by posts that are against the rules or tripfag circle jerking. Talking of tripfags, if they're being helpful (which is rare, but it does happen), they're fine. However, they do have a tendency to make an otherwise on-topic thread about them and/or any old drama they're involved with when they should just go Anon or stop responding. I think that's when they (and anyone else involved) should be punished.

Finally, I've noticed there are occasionally threads that begin with "/fa/ told me to come here." that aren't related to cosplay or Lolita, but are merely about alternative fashion. /diy/ has cut down on some of this, but /cgl/ still seems to get more than its share of threads about fashion icons and styles that aren't related to either community. If that sort of content could be discussed on /fa/ or another board all together, that would decrease a lot of the off-topic threads on /cgl/.

>>55263
IDs won't solve shit. When trips drop trip to whiteknight themselves, they'll just sage as anon for Heaven. Problem solved.

>>55071
If it's any consolation, I make legitimate reports on a constant basis. I don't think many people bother, though.

>>55263
>>the number one thing it needs of course is multiple janitors to clean up the DRAMA horseshit.

I think some of that has its place. /cgl/'s biggest problem is not waiting until a thread has 404'd or even autosaging before they make a new one about the SAME PERSON despite nothing new or interesting happening.

Secondary to that is the tendency for intense white-knighting or pettiness to totally derail a thread that was otherwise on topic. The UK Lolitas shitting up a thread (it was either a Loli community or outfit thread, I can't remember since it was about a month ago) with a load of back-biting and in-fighting that could have been solved elsewhere comes to mind. They ended up killing the on topic discussion. Like another Anon said though, ID's won't do anything.

>>55248
yes, that's actually what got me interested in cosplay in general was the con board, but that's besides the point.

>>55263
>>55356
I'd like to think there's only a few handful of people doing the consistent reporting, but obviously when it comes to a bigger thread that more people are involved in it obviously gets reported quicker. This falls back to "the janitor isn't doing their job" whining. It isn't true, there just isn't people reporting shit.

>>55321
On the flip side the thread won't bump and will hit it's limit quicker.

>>55321
>>55321
But most of /cgl/ can't deal with the idea of someone having an different opinion, so when 2+ people disagree with them they will start crying "samefag" - which always derail the thread. IDs can show them that - gasp! - more than 5 people lurk /cgl/ and some of them have different opinions.

>>55321
I believe that can be disabled and doing that makes it extremely suspicious

plus the idiots that make misogyny threads then constantly bump it with increasingly retarded shit in order to provoke a reaction would be completely stopped

>>55450
>>This falls back to "the janitor isn't doing their job" whining. It isn't true, there just isn't people reporting shit.

I think people feel that way because the janitor deletes threads that are somehow related to the board while leaving up pointless shit. EX: Deleting a drama thread about a cosplayer while allowing Dakota threads to remain up when she is neither a cosplayer nor a Lolita. Yes, they're both shit posts. Yes, the janitor is only acting on reports that have been submitted and may or may not know about the inns and outs of the cosplay or Lolita communities. But most people forget these things.

Also, as another Anon pointed out, reminding people to report a thread is against the rules which is perhaps part of the reason some seagulls are forgetting that they're in charge of getting the janitor's attention.

Personally, the first time I reported a thread, I was a little hesitant because of the warning about being banned for false reporting. Sometimes what's acceptable content for /cgl/ is so vague and the lack of reporting that permits off-topic threads to become common place makes it worse.

>>55464
oh god /cgl/ is among one of the easiest boards to troll. Just really cracking down on obvious troll posts would make a difference.

How about we ban all the tripfags. They'e attentionwhore circlejerkers anyway.

>>55642
you think? they will still find ways to get around that. When dildos, Coffee and the rest of the asian mafia where using signatures at one point. I say put a bounty on alot of the offenders like offer them an Janitorial job if they can provide some of the more troublesome trips their main IPs

>>55642
If only it were that simple. But, I wouldn't put it past them to use signatures. Like this:

*~Maguma~*

And that would just be annoying.

/cgl/ needs a janitor who knows what the fuck they are doing. Even things that are completely relevant to the board they delete because they probably were annoyed by it when they were just a normal poster.

And another request to rename the board to cosplay and japanese fashion for many of the threads to be more relevant. If you are going to be a rule nazi, then you can't pick and choose what is against the rules.

The problem with banning all tripfags is that some of them are decent posters that just so happen to have names/ids. And if we go on to ban tripcodes, then they'll either default to signatures or avatars, like isopod-anon.

>>55819
Avatars/Sigs are against the rules now actually.

but its still far harder to filter that shit than it is a tripcode

bump for active moot

>>55832
Yeah and if tripfags are done away with and they just turn into avatarfags, someone who unwittingly uses a reaction image with the same character may catch shit one way or another. It's a catch 22.

Why women hate so much each other?

Lol look at what's on the first page

>>>/cgl/6130477

More suggestions?

>>56222
Sure, the board is majority female and and most of their petty, bitchy crap is directed at other females. People have written tons of crap about why women are so critical of other women, but I don't think any of those theories can be fully applied here since I think the guys of /cgl/ are just as bad as the girls when it comes to being an asshole.

The male posters can also be pretty nasty and vindictive and they direct it at everyone, not just femanons. I'm not counting misogyny threads and other forms of blatant trolling, either.

Again, I'm not saying that one is better or worse than the other, if anything, I'm arguing that they're about equal. The uneven gender ratio and way that the females of /cgl/ act out their bitchiness is what makes it more visible and exaggerated.

What if someone makes a thread about a person with a bad rep and the discussion turns into people negating that rep? There's a thread like that going on now, and the anons are being pretty nice.

>>56511
If it was a

"What music do yo listen to while you sew?"

"What song do you listen to to get pumped up for a meet up/convention?"

"What is your I'm-on-my-way-to-a-meet up/convention-play-list?"

"Music as it relates to cosplay/lolita"

Or hell, even just adding pictures of music-themed Lolita coordinates and/or cosplays of characters that involve music in some way to their posts would have made this thread more on-topic.

Seagulls, are you even trying?

>>56625
As long as the people being discussed are involved in either cosplay or Lolita, I'd think it's okay. Especially if they own a business that caters to cosplayers or Lolitas or the aspect about them that's being discussed deals with either community. As long as it's civil, isn't spammed in unrelated topics or unnecessary new threads and doesn't devolve into utter shit, I wouldn't mind it too much. That's hoping for a lot from /cgl/, though.

Besides, I'm not a mod or a janitor and there are obviously plenty of other people who feel otherwise.

Since someone was curious as to why all their posts got deleted when they were banned, here you go.

Also, chiming in with yay for IDs.

>>>/cgl/6128218

and no one does shit about this.

I really think that the tripfag crush threads should be deleted on sight and anyone who posted in it given a short ban

Please make mandatory IDs to cut down on samefags. Please ban dramawhoring tripfags (Spoony). Please ban that idiot who keeps posting Fluttershy as their avatar.

>>56222
It's not much their hate as much as their stupidity that makes the board go to shit. I mean, on /cgl/, you could pull off such cheap troll that you wouldn't believe.

File: 1344672981107.png-(68 KB, 1000x1000, 1336021402545.png)

I think what bothers me the most about /cgl/ is that it can be a really good board when it tries It's just so full of /soc/ shit and Fujoshi who use it as a proxy for stalking fat weebs on the internet that it chases away a lot of the quality posters. The board took a huge nose dive in posting quality when we were flooded with Lolitas who made it their new secret base for Gossip. Most Lolita threads are absolutely nothing but gossip unless it's Etsy/spoonflower/Artist Alley related. During the non-Con season there's hardly any dedicated cosplay threads on the board at all just a bunch of tripfag circlejerks and a 300+ thread criticizing what Pixyteri is doing at the moment.

Honestly I think the best course of action would be to delete the board.

I agree with pretty much everything that's been said in this thread, and here are some of my own ideas:
-consider splitting /cgl/ into /cos/ (or /con/) and /jf/ for cosplay/cons and japanese fashion, although I am both a cosplayer and a lolita, I think we would benefit from splitting the board. I've often seen page 0 being 5 convention threads and 5 different jfashion threads, only one of which is lolita, which overall leaves us with... not many quality threads on the front page. Please consider splitting the board, at least.
-yes, we do need to do something about the tripfags. however, some of them are complete cancer, and some of them actually have /cgl/-relevant material to contribute from time to time. What we should be aiming to do is make the latter type respect the rules and get rid of the former type altogether. So, if we could get a list together here of shitposters who are NOT cosplayers or lolitas, and shitposters who ARE, I think it would be good to get a permanent ban for the second group and a temporary ban for the first group.
-PLEASE GIVE US ANOTHER JANITOR
-please give us a sticky for useful links/ educating newfags about /cgl/

Reposting what I wrote in the deleted thread:

Trips are useful on /cgl/! With them, my ignore filters work like a charm!

What needs to go:
-/fit/ threads.
-/fit/ invasions.
-How do I fuck a cosplayer slut?
-Why no bf?
-Sugar daddy/daddy issues threads.
-Anything made by dildoes/coffee/god. You guys are dumbasses who contribute nothing healthy or useful.
-Tripfag glorification. We're all normal people, stop trying to make us to be more than we are. Crush threads, draw cosplayer, marry date fuck threads. No one is more important than anyone else on this board. We're nerds in fucking costumes.
-Drama about someone's personal life. More often than not, the people involved are slandered mercilessly by one person trying to make it look like a group of people is against them. You want to talk about people like you're in high school? Just wait, classes will be back in within a week.
-Fat/Skinny shaming threads.
-Breast/Ass/Legs threads.

We need more:
-Convention talk.
-Posting cosplay that isn't for fap reasons.
-Costume help.
-Price checks.
-Lolita help.

We get it, /fit/ can't get girlfriends because they're too busy trying to look good; /v/ is self-explanatory, and if /soc/ found out how many chubby chicks are on the board? They'd never stop jizzing. Trips are useful, as are IDs. Getting rid of trips wouldn't stop the shitposting. We've seen what would happen ala the Korean bros and their avatar posting. We've seen what can happen when one person like RawbotGurl drops their trip. Unfortunately, it's also come to the point where people almost require a trip out of fear of people posing as them.

Yes, the tripfag glorification also includes things like Precious's achievements. How many times do her threads degrade into requests for nudes, delusional /v/irgins refusing to believe she has small breasts, or becomes an outright hate thread? It's been proven that any thread on /cgl/ that singles out a cosplayer cannot contain nice things. Tripcodes are also handy when putting faces to typing. If someone is nice and helpful, they'll be known by such. See: Ukraine, Hatsuu, Korin, RP, Charizard, Jellyfishy. If someone is a douchebag and doesn't contribute anything worthwhile, they'll also pick up that kind of reputation where people will know to avoid. See: dildoes, god, shaynii, Claudie, Enver, Coffee Learn to filter trips and your /cgl/ experience will be so much nicer!

>>60780
I say /fit/ friday stays, simply because physical shape is an important part of both lolita and cosplay. But that should be the only place where /fit/ is allowed.
Repeated off-topic (in other words circlejerking or shitposting, not the same shit that would be discussed by anons who attended conventions or some shit) posting from tripfags results in a temp ban.
Fat/skinny/breast/legs/ass threads can stay as long as they're filled with cosplay content, shaping up is limited to /fit/ friday threads.

Basic things I would like to see:
>janitor that instantly deletes Dakota threads/bans the starter. Same for similar threads that aren't /cgl/ related and repeatedly get posted, such as PixyTeri if there's no new cosplay related material.
>ban to circlejerk thread posters
>insta-ban for any off-site, credible truth that a tripfag is underage (could be done if the moderator frequents /cgl/)
>lolita is expanded to j-fashions, as the board is slow enough anyway (posts from 2 days ago are still on the last page)
>IDs get added to massively cut down samefag posts and samefag accusations

Once the biggest shit is gotten rid of, I'm sure that more decent threads will be started.

>>61021
/fit/ Fridays should go to /fit/. They keep invading us, why can't we invade them?

>>54084
You already have a janitor who deletes good threads and lets bad ones stay.

Do you really want a moderator who has even more power to do the exact same thing?

>>61021

Your kidding right? All the /fit/ Friday threads that I have seen are literally just circle jerks and girls making excuses about why their fat lazy asses won't exercise.

Nothing good ever comes from /fit/ Friday. So ether take your shit to /fit/ and make an effort or stop whining about being fat.

/fit/ threads are fine, IMO. It's one thread to ignore. The problem is when it doesn't stick to one thread. It started with /fit/ threads, then people stopped bothering to find the one that already exists, then they think their "HOW DO I GET INTO SHAPE IN TIME FOR *CON" deserves its own thread, now we have to deal with threads about Chinese diet pills.

IDs would help so we don't have MIyufag saying "Hi Jessica" all the time

(it would also show how often he samefags)

the "obsess over some crazy weeaboo" threads are some of the biggest tumors on the board, it makes us look bad

>>61021
Janitors don't ban.

3DPD. That is all.

Get a mod to ban all those /fit/ faggots already.
No, we don't want your board-tan bullshit

Perfect example of shit that needs to stop:
>>>/cgl/6131994

>>60780
Sums it up pretty well.

/cgl/ is going to go the way of /x/ and just become a constant board for fuckwits to come and shitpost.

>Hurr durr you guys play dress up? What are you all? Gay?

/cgl/'s problem though is that by it's very nature, it requires a bare minimum amount of bad content.

Cosplayers are like school kids, all cliques and gossip and mean rumors. Not to mention that the hobby is almost entirely about looking good, so inevitably, /cgl/ has to critique and bash ugly costumes, just like the Cosfucks days, and inevitably, some whiteknight faggot will take issue with this and start and argument about /cgl/ being a bunch of catty, fatty, ugly bitches.

>>63111
Pretty sure mod said /fit/ topics are legal on /cgl/. They weren't until a few months ago... but... whatever.

>>63893
I would like to think a majority of the posters disagree with this, sure it's a part of cosplay, but there's a board for it. As another anon said, fit threads just turn into circlejerking and excuses in the end.

Right now there's 2 crush threads, dakota thread, fit thread, diet pill thread, pick up con chicks thread... all on the first page. I'm sure it's worse further back.

There's really no way around it, but /cgl/ needs help. Badly. I wish someone higher up would pay attention, we have one janitor that is doing their best right now, but we need more than that.

>>63951

Threads about actual fitness. I'm talking about the shitty off topic threads where male tripfags from /fit/ circlejerk 24/7 looking for attention.

Pic related, talking about this cancer.

-Take out the yellow fever and K-Pop bullshit. That goes into /int/ or /mu/.
-No more Dakota threads. Drama should be related to cosplay or egl.
-No PT-leveled bullshit.

/cgl/ is one of the worst fucking boards on 4chan. No mods, no janitors, no mature users. It's a perfect storm of shit. What is /cgl/ right now? Attention whore tripfags, and personal vendettas. Every single fucking day I visit that board there's a thread about little cosplay son of a bitch and her hateboner for attention whore #37,274. If I had moot powers, I would delete the shit out of that board. It's a pointless board, really. Almost as pointless as a literature board on an image board. What is that about? Talk about a bad decision. I know nothing is going to be done because you're a bunch of lazy fucks. This board isn't going to change that. Oh, wow, default noko. Stop the internet: we've got some significant changes over here! Get the fuck outta here.

And fuck you, moot. You're so out of touch with 4chan you need an entire board.

See that just kind of pisses me off for an entirely different set of reasons. I browse several of those boards all the time and I have no idea who any of those faggots are, yet they are representing boards I like by being colossal fuckwits on /cgl/.

>>65026
/cgl/ has helped me move out of my awkward phase and pretty much provided a surrogate female influence in my life
they taught me how to do my hair and how to dress well and how to do my make-up, and they taught me how to sew and how to coordinate and fuck they taught me how to paint my nails
even if there's drama all over it and tripfags circlejerking, there are really some wonderful people on /cgl/ and it is one of the best places to discuss cosplay beyond all the off-topic threads

>>65264
To my understanding, the point is they come from the particular board and trip on /cgl/. Whether they're e-famous on the board itself or not matters not, since /cgl/ is the centre of universe. To be fair, it's not like the tripfags asked for it, and some of them don't even shitpost or have mostly stopped posting. It's just /v/, /fit/, /r9k/, /sp/, /soc/ and /co/ who are basking in the attention they get, who are coincidentally also the greatest attention whores who ruin /cgl/ in general.

But, ultimately, it's still neither of theirs fault. Just because someone circlejerks a tripfag doesn't mean it's the tripfags fault. Not even ATIWAB's. Technically, it would not happen if the tripfag did not exist, but that's just saying the murder rate would go down if the victims weren't born.

I think adding ID to /cgl/ would vastly improve the board. It would serve to streamline discussion in Progress and con threads while also making it easier to hold a discussion about cosplay plans in con threads.

how do

/cgl/ needs to be about cosplay and lolita. Not harassing someone for what they said/ made twitter, facebook, DA, etc. Not for /fit/ topics when WE HAVE A WHOLE BOARD DEDICATED FOR THAT. Not for drama in general. COSPLAY AND LOLITA.

A place to discuss/ review conventions, as well as cosplay & lolita ideas and how to make them happen. Fabric choices, how to do things, coords, etc. Otherwise please delete the fucking board.

>>65604
Just making the shitty threads up and vanish isn't going to curtail the problem, though. They'll just be back and they'll just keep repeating the same shit, except with "other thread disappeared! New Crush/tripfag worship/fit invasion/why no bf thread!"

A good Mod dickslap to the face would help alleviate the problem.

>>65707
If they keep reposting the same thing, just report it, delete it again. If it's often enough, the janitor should contact a mod about the problem.

I'm assuming janitors & mods share contact about stuff like this.

Would it be possible for the posting of Livejournal links to be banned? Whenever Livejournal links are posted it's usually just Lolitas discussing things on /cgl/ that they are too chickenshit to discuss on Livejournal. See >>>/cgl/6132667

>>65707
Agreed. Our janitor (despite what some claim) does a pretty good job and in fact just cleared out like 10 threads this afternoon, but they're deleting the same stuff over and over again by repeat offenders. Some stuff like crush threads and "why do you have a bad relationship with your father" are harder to deal with, but a lot of this stuff has been going on for months and wordbans are at least worth a shot.

And I must stress again, that last one is not only a list of tripfags with their pictures (which is bad enough) but it's used to shitpost on other boards and bring outside trolls to /cgl/.

That last one is supposed to be

I think cosplay and lolita related drama should stay. It's relevant and a huge part of board culture. But, I think the social networking threads (tumblr, facebook, etc.) are useless. If you want to plan a meetup, do it on your con's thread. If you want to find cosplay blogs, search tumblr yourself.

And the /fit/ threads... They are so awful. The only reason those girls refuse to go to /fit/ is because they know /fit/'s not going to tolerate their pro ana laziness. If you want thinspo, go to tumblr. If you want to get fit, go to /fit/. It doesn't matter if you're losing the weight for cosplay or lolita, it's still not relevant. The board needs to be more about cosplay and lolita.

Finally, I propose that threads started so that one person can get suggestions be treated like /r/ threads. They are useless and clog up the board. We already have dedicated suggestion threads, newfags don't need to make their own.

Can someone please explain why there is a mod attentionwhoring on the board right now?

Can we have our name changed to /pt/ to pay homage to our god? And then instead of "Cosplay and egl" as our title, change it to "We've only begun to shine!"

It's funny, because usually threads like those get spat upon for not using the same suggestion thread everyone else does, but noooooo, it's a mod! It's okay for him to attention whore.

If you can't google that much, you'll be an excellent janitor.

i like the /fit/ and skin care threads on /cgl/. there's no other board to discuss those things, and as long as it's kept to one thread i think it should be okay

As if women didn't look stupid enough already...

/cgl/ was better when it was NSFW. I think the fix is obvious.

I'm sure it had nothing to do with it being new and yet undiscovered by the unwashed masses.

>>66690
women are not very welcome on /fit/ :(

>>66723
If they lifted they would be.

>>66723
You can post and participate in discussion without saying you're a woman. Just adapt the info as needed.

>>66723
They aren't welcome anywhere outside /cgl/, bitch. That doesn't mean /cgl/ needs threads about sports or music or cooking. It just means that you need to find somewhere else to be anorexic.

>>66711
>I think the fix is obvious.
Nope? How is NSFW gonna fix anything?

>>66093
I'm astounded how infrequently it seems that many boards get any sort of moderation applied to them, but then there's this Mod, just running around, flashing his fucking tag, and getting his ego stroked like he's another fucking /fit/ refugee who just discovered /cgl/

>>66731
i lift, but i'm starting out and i can only lift baby weights
if i posted how much i lift they would laugh at me

Can a mod please sticky this:

>>>/cgl/6133610

>>66920
That's your problem not ours. Your /fit/ tears belong on /fit/.

>>68020

What he said.

There is NO REASON for a /fit/ thread to be on /cgl/

Literally the only argument you guys can think of is "bawww theyre so mean to me when I post there"

>>68333
In my opinion, anything that reduces the number of hambeastly cosplayers is welcome.

Janitor recruitment should be an ongoing thing. Drives are great and all, they get everyone on the same page as far the reqs and rules, but it would be nice if the mods and mootles were on the constant look-out for janitors.

When all this fervor dies down after this drive, and moot is getting his few dozen emails a day or whatever, and someone sends him an app or request for a janitor position on their own initiative, it would be nice if moot or a mod could follow that IP's posts for a few days or weeks to get the feel of their participation.

And then maybe begin proactive recruiting of said user.

>>65604
Shut up. You're not accepting any more applications.

>>68833
Read the news post, retard.

You fucking people.

>>68900
The mod said, "Apply for the janitor positions". How can I do that if THEY'RE CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS?

>>68990
Make one in LaTeX, make it pretty and then print it and send it to your grandma's.
