*CLICK*


Every user should read this. And if you're looking for a blast from the past, check out the archived news posts.

/q/ is now open for business, and has already sparked a number of great discussions and changes to the site. Here's one on why 4chan doesn't accept donations and what you can do to support the site.

I'd hate to make another thread about the whole pony issue, but in this one I'd like to ask why the 4Chan staff are completely ignoring it. I'm almost certain they're reading the threads but not actually participating in the discussion like they are in other threads, why is that.

And before someone comes in and complains about me 'whining', the only reason these threads keep popping up is because the 4Chan staff aren't responding to them. This is an issue that needs addressing.

For fuck's sake there's probably at least half a dozen threads in the catalog complaining about ponies right now.
>>
How much can they really do? Bans can be evaded, and they can just recreate any threads that get deleted. They cannot simply spend all day every day babysitting the ponyfags. Best thing we can do is simply ignore them, that's all.
>>
>>79285
You know why there's so many threads about it? BECAUSE MODS AREN'T ADDRESSING THE DAMN ISSUE.
>>
>>79294
And you think making a thread with no suggestions or criticisms will help?
>>
The staff are also ignoring the issue of whether or not we can talk about Naruto on /a/. You're not the only one getting neglected op.
>>
>>79286
We need more mods/janitors.
>>
>>79294
do you know why they aren't addressing the issue? BECAUSE THERES NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT.

>>79317

well why do we have to put up with this crap? I didn't come to 4chan to look at ponies!!!

>>79311
I can't tell you how many time's I've made suggestions regarding this issue. See

So why do they have Rule 15 in the first place? either enforce the rule and get rid of it.
>>
>>79330
*either enforce the rule or get rid of it
>>
>>79324
You know you can just ignore /mlp/, right? No one is forcing you to go into the board, same as no one is forcing you to go into /i/ or /o/. And if you see avataring ponys or pony threads outside of /mlp/ just report them and ignore them.
>>
>>79330
Actually I think I can answer that. That rule was put in place to let you know the staff is on your side. Not that they can really do anything.

Probably because there's just nothing they can do about it. They delete the threads, the ban the posters, but they just keep avoiding the bans and coming back. There's just nothing they can do.
>>
>>79344
Oh my god. I'm going to repeat myself for literally the 20th time.

I don't care about /mlp/! They can post all they want there! What bothers me is when they have threads on /b/, which is forbidden by the rules, not to mention they feel the need to constantly have a /b/read bumped to page 0 24/7.
>>
>>79330
I can answer that. The rule was put in place to let you know the staff is on your side. Not that they can really do anything.
>>
>>79330

but they did address it, they said we need to somehow magically ignore the posts.
>>
>>79352
O)h. well just ignore those ponys in /b/.

Also, consider the following: If those users who are posting ponies are using methods that are preventing the mods from perma banning them, then it wouldn't matter what the mods do about /mlp/. Those posters in /b/ are rouge, and unless there is a way to ban a dynamic IP, there is not much anyone can do. it's basically trolls Vs. Mods, with innocent posters caught in the middle.
>>
>>79384
4chanX is not magic.
>>
>>79400
The filter is. Put something in it, and boom, gone from your browsing experience.
>>
>>79400

fuck you why should I have to do that, they're the cancer
>>
This is why 7chan /b/ is better. pony shit don't fly over there. and the mods aren't lazy pussies like the ones here.
>>
It keeps telling me my post is spam, but, basically, they're ignoring you guys because you're all whiny like annoying children.
>>
>>79400
neither is apathy, but they seem incapable of using either so let them cry
>>
It's more of an issue than just being annoyed by /b/reads, too. Oftentimes /b/ will launch raids on /mlp/, even though they aren't the ones responsible for the /b/reads. This shitposting results in even more shitposting and needs to be stopped.
>>
>>79238
Because they're all horsefuckers. Every. Single. One. They all masturbate to their purple and pink ponies and write fanfics about raping 5 year old "ponies" in their torture dungeon. They're manchildren and the simple fact is they LOVE pony shitposting, and contribute to it themselves!

Seriously.

"Oh no, there is a pony reaction image outside of /mlp/. This is the worst thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life, and my day is ruined forever, because I cannot ignore a 200x200 thumbnail on a thread, and a single reaction image is a direct attempt to troll me, personally, because they know how much I hate them."

>>79439

"Hey, guys, have you noticed that there are a lot of pony threads on /q/? What's up with that? I'm going to make a new thread and ask what's up with that."

All of this, all day, every day, forever. Over and over again.
>>
Ponies are literally the worst thing that has ever happened to the internet. I wish a horrible death upon each neckbearded bronyfag that has ever posted anything pony-related.
>>
>>79352
But a lot of that fanbase want to talk about pony-related NSFW stuff, that isn't allowed on /mlp/, so they have to post it on /b/.
>>
>>79487

agreed, the internet wasn't made for ponyfags, they were never welcom to start with.
>>
>>79501

furries are allowed on /b/, ponies are not. So no they can't post it there either
>>
>>79502
Your post was cringe-worthy.
>>
>>79522
But if you have content that people want to be able to post, but don't let them post it anywhere, it's still gonna get posted.

The threads I'm talking about are the self-contained horsefucker threads, that aren't illegal, and aren't magically "shitting up" other threads, they're just there. People are just getting so "STOP LIKING WHAT I DONT LIKE" that they're basically whining that they don't want that otherwise harmless content on "their" 4chan.

I don't post in those fucking threads, but as long as people constantly go "hurr I hate ponies, guess I'd better shit all over anyone who mentions it ever", and "I WANT TO CENSOR TOPICS OF DISCUSSION OUT OF THE SITE ENTIRELY", then unrelated trolls are just going to take advantage of that by posting pony-material in your threads to piss you off.
>>
Just FWI dudes nobody in /mlp/ posts ponies outside of our quarentine. At least most don't. Any ponies you spot outside of /mlp/ are just from /b/tards going "LOL PONES!!! UMAD? XXXXDDDD". /mlp/ actually keeps to itself.

That thread isn't shitposting _because_ it's ponies. It's the same as countless other shitpost-only threads that have images from other things in.

moot's said that nothing can be done right now. As said in another thread, it could only *possibly* be hindered by using cookies, and even then, it likely won't stop. And before some shitposting faggot says delete /mlp/, do you REALLY want ponyshit everywhere again? It's pretty easy to evade bans. Also, to those of you saying "it's /mlp/", that's a load of shit and you know it. It's people from your boards who know it pisses you off and the /b/read on /mlp/ which is just as, if not more, shitty. Just ignore/hide the threads, and move on with your life. People from /b/read have said they won't leave (with bullshit reasoning, of course).

tl;dr If you didn't read, you're the problem. Get out. Now.
>>
>>79569
No. That argument doesn't work.

Whether or not /b/ is a shithole doesn't matter.

/b/ is a random board. It's not fucking random when the same fucking thread is posted 24/7 which already has IT'S OWN FUCKING BOARD.

Stop spamming "WELL HURR /b/ IS SHIT ANYWAYS XD"

We're trying to salvage what little hope /b/ has so fuck off if you can't contribute.

Those attitudes are the reason they stay. We need to show them that they aren't above the rules and they aren't going to be rewarded for shitposting. If we really want to get rid of them we need to keep at it no matter how much they retaliate. We need at least one mod and janitor on /b/ all day every day deleting and permabanning them and continuing until they understand that they can't just ignore the rules and get away with it.

At this point I'd be accepting any and all applications for janitors on /b/.

/b/ is beyond saving, and there is no real "pony issue" outside of /b/ that isn't just people with an inability to ignore things they don't like complaining.

Effort needs to be focused into things that will actually help the site (like fixing /mu/)

Don't be silly. This is either some roundabout way to make ponies more popular, or it's just general shitposting. Well, either way it's shitposting. Stop trying to reason with them.

>>
>>79606

its not the ponies that are pissing everyone off the most, it is the circlejerk that they are hiding with pictures of ponies. They dont ever talk about their intended topic and jsut avatarfag, hugbox and shitpost thread after thread after thread.

And if you ignore them that will make them think that they are winning and that they are above the rules and moderation and above any other posters.

They need to learn their place. This also goes for the /b/reads on /mlp/, because they don't talk about the show either, the circlejerk all the same, if not worse than the /b/ /b/reads.
>>
>>79285
>>79312
If this is about mods ignoring issues then they seem to be doing nothing about avatarfagging, at least on /co/.

>>79349
Then why even bother with rules if actually enforcing them is virtually impossible?

They already believe they're above every poster in /mlp/, and think they're the best the board has to offer. It's like a thread-sized Ponychan.

The only way to "teach them a lesson" would be to somehow get their IPs to be static and get the mods and moot to give everyone their IP addresses, which will never happen.

The rule is not "no ponies outside /mlp/", it's "no brony threads".

Posting one /mlp/-related pic that is otherwise related to the thread is not BRONY SHITPOSTING REPORTED SAGED material. Is posting a picture of a football outside of /sp/ a bannable offence?

>>

>>79882

>there is no getting rid of their infinite circlejerk

You may think that, but there is ALWAYS a way. We just have to find it.

We have already had 2 suggestions as follows:

- Once Janitorial staff get hired, have them go on a thread deletion escapade, having janitors on multiple pages to catch the /b/reads and delete them before they can get started and keep up with deleting them until the angsty teen rebels use logic and realize that they should not make a thread if it will just get deleted, and their "REBEL THE MODS" mindset would die off fairly quickly if it was kept on top of.

- Unfortunately, this plan would not ban it or get rid of it, but for both /b/ and /mlp/, sticky the thread on some back page, like page 10, and remove image cap and whatnot, so they can post to their hearts content without getting in the way of other, more relevant on-topic threads. The problem with this is also that they would just have the mindset "Oh the mods are asking me respectfully to do this? Nah REBEL!" and just shitpost outside their specified sticky.

The choices:

2. Use filters

3. Ignore completely

There really isn't anything that the staff can do to address this issue, so follow the steps I've listed.

Granted, it's there 24/7. But, as we know, before /mlp/ was made, the constant bitching only emboldened them. Therefore, it only stands to reason that bitching will not work, so just report, filter, or ignore.

They run every banwave with that mindset. We're still here.

>>79913
First solution won't work, because at the end of the day, the ponyposters are more dedicated to ponyposting than any mods or janitors are against it. Even if literal Nazis straight out from WW2 were hired as mods this would probably still be true.

That second solution isn't too terrible. It's actually what we do on mlpchan.net, but for different reasons. On there, threads don't have a hard reply/image limit. Instead, threads just stop bumping soon as they hit the reply limit. So nearly all of the time, the long serial /b/reads are on some far-off page.
>>
>>79944

We just need Janitors and mods alike to band together on both /b/ and /mlp/ and delete the /b/read threads wherever they pop up, and continue with this action until the /b/read posters realize that they are not above 4chans rules or above moderation.

They can and WILL be dealt with. There is a way to get rid of the circlejerk rather than just ignore it and let it fester any longer. If you feel your stomach shift for the worse but just ignore it like it didnt happen, you are just going to end up shitting yourself.

True. Another solution might be hellbans, but I'm pretty certain they'd sperg out and reset their routers once they realized something was amiss. There's also the fact moot might have some difficulty putting it into the site.

As I said, ponyposters are more dedicated to ponying than mods are to antiponying. I'm not sure where you're imagining finding a crack team of mods that would actually be able to do anything worthwhile. If your idea is just having a fuck-ton of mods, you're probably going to have them over-moderating the rest of /b/ too. If you want to kill /b/ to spite a tiny part of it, go right ahead.

the staff on irc of 4chan say b is not their problem and not their board. there are 2 there that are proud to admit they are mods on /a/ and /fit/ and would never bother with b because they see that board as a waste of time.

moot picked terrible mods for his site then complains its not original or is becoming stagnant. this is what happens when you have mods who have no concern for the site as a whole and just their one board they are allowed to mod.

You do realize I would've been fine with ponies had they been posted once in awhile. But having a dedicated thread on /b/ 24/7 is too much. You're pushing other potentially interesting threads down, even when you have your own section in the site.

That's exactly WHY /mlp/ was created.

/a/ exists so that there isn't a 24/7 anime thread on /b/

/mu/ exists so there isn't a 24/7 music thread on /b/
(i've said the exact same thing like a day ago)
and /mlp/ exists so there isn't a 24/7 thread on /b/, but you guys ave no regard for that. Your logic is that because you're able to ban-evade, you deserve special rule-breaking privileges.

I'd prefer they hire competent mods and enforce the rule.

Not to mention, the /b/reads have caused /b/ to raid /mlp/, which is ironic because they're the ones actually following the rules.

But yeah, the 4Chan staff aren't addressing this issue AT ALL, so it's like they may as well revoke the rule.

Heh, ironically I help run mlpchan.net (which I also post at).

/b/ is filled with stuff >90% of its viewers don't care about. With the trap loli, porn dump, GET, kill the giganigga, repeated you-laugh-you-lose, shock image threads everywhere, it's a thread with ponies that go beyond those and manage to ruin the experience for you? Your ability to deal with content you see might need retuning. I think if there's any content even capable of ruining the /b/ experience for someone, then that person isn't /b/ material.

You know what's going to happen if you guys keep making threads like this on /q/ and other boards? You guys really fucking want to know what's going to happen?

You'll be just as hated as the ponyfags. In my fucking daily 4channing I typically see no ponies, and nothing related to /mlp/ at all. Unless I come here or /v/. /v/ has to fucking fill every rage thread to the brim with fucking more pony shit than Chris-chan's room. Fucking /q/ CONSTANTLY has one of these threads up.

The rule is already made. It isn't a real fucking problem. You have fucking wasted 2 hours of your life participating in a thread you made because you can't skim past a fucking picture, that a rule already exists about. Report and ignore it. At that point if the fucking mods don't do anything about it you won't fucking know because you hid the thread. Stop being a whiny fucking child.

Important question: Why is /mlp/ a 'sfw' board? Did someone contact moot to try to stop the inevitable rule 34 on ponies? Because thats a reason why theres still ponyshit on /b/. I mean, if cIopping is your thing, theres lots of worse fetishes than that, and why try to sensor 'ponysexuality' and not loli/fur/diaper, etc.

Once you give the bronies freedom do do whatever they want in /mlp/, then maybe they're wouldn't be so much ponyshit elsewhere.

>>82336
Wait what? I'm one of the /b/read posters. I'm not mad, am pretty chill right now. Just curious as to why so many threads on /q/ are up in arms over the /b/reads, and am wondering what they even think should or could be done.

>>82345
As I said, good luck not over-moderating the rest of /b/. Who would monitor the janitor teams?
>>
>>82379
As for /b/, pony content isn't allowed. As for /mlp/, I just checked the rules, circlejerking isn't allowed, all threads are supposed to be show discussion.

My advice would be to move to /r9k/, 4chan's dedicated circlejerk/attentionwhoring board.

As I've said in the past, we delete and ban for it like crazy. Bronies ban evade like crazy. We've banned hundreds upon hundreds of their IPs, VPNs, proxies, etc. Even the /mlp/ crowd hates them.

After we finish janitor apps we should have a bunch more janitors and moderators around to deal with it, but until then, you'll need to do your best to ignore it. Or convince them to stop shitposting/ban evading/breaking the rules, but good luck!

Nail, head, et cetera. Hell, there was one of them posting in a thread yesterday EXPLICITLY stating that he didn't care about the rules, or moderators.
Then again, he was the one who turned /x/ into /b/5.0 so it doesn't really surprise me.

BUT

Banning them doesn't seem to be working, they always find a way around it. I just don't understand how they can have such callous disregard for the rules, and then claim they're being brutalised and persecuted in the next breath.

If this were just about reaction images, that would be one thing, but this is about making threads about your show when you already have threads in your own board to discuss it. Why does there need to be a /b/read thread on /b/ if there's one on /mlp/? Stop being pricks and be happy that you even have a place to discuss your rainbow colored horses.

Hello rangeban!

Thanks for demonstrating why you're insufferable. Everyone else in this thread -- this is why you can't have nice things.

>>82552
The problem is, pony threads outside of /mlp/ have so little content, they don't even say anything. They just flood with images. That's it.
Though, it would be nice to have a few word filters outside of /mlp/ for such things anyway.

It has to due with the breading of the fanbase, particularly on /b/. When you mix autistic fandom with trolling culture you get a bad hybrid.

A troll more autistic than the normal troll, seeking both to be edgy and spread the target of his autistic love to all corners of the internet.

>>82586
Seriously at least make the /b/read bannable on /mlp/ as well. They fucking violate the rules of that board 24/7, and if someone simply clarified that it was against the rules, I'm sure all of /mlp/ would report it constantly.

Moot should do like they did with the furry board and just collect IPs from /mlp/ for a few months then batch ban every single one of the little fuckers.

First of all, I do agree that the /b/ pony threads are probably the single most cancerous part of 4chan and should be wiped out forcefully by persistent moderation.

However, moot, could you remove the wordfilter for "everyp0ny" (with o instead of 0) for the /mlp/ board? We should be able to discuss ponies on that board and my posts keep hitting the filter. Thanks.

I have no problem with MLP:FiM or most of the fandom. I even thought the Derpy fiasco was hilarious. It's just a small number of users that are basically ruining the entire 4chan community's perception of the show, its culture, and fans. There are like 100 morons who shit up the site like it's their full-time job (because it probably is), and think that none of the rules apply to them.

I've said it before, but this small hard core of shitposters are engaging in collective narcissism:

http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/4252/1/Golec_collectivenarcissism.pdf

http://home.swipnet.se/~w-73784/groupnarc.htm

>The narcissistic idealisation is often mistaken for a natural and healthy form of appreciation of other people. This is a great problem, as pathology is allowed to hide behind a respectable mask. It's the same thing with group narcissism. Its devotees are often mistaken for nice fellows, socially mature, respectful towards other people. Nothing could be farther from the truth. It is a chimera. Such people are only providing for their own narcissism by way of reflection in the group. Scratch on the surface, and a nasty intolerance appears. Many psychologists tend to view the social group as an ideal for the individual to attain. It's an oversimplification. Those psychologists are blind to the fact that there is a pathological version of social life called group narcissism.

>>82658
I've seen a lot of threads where someone posted with a pony picture yet kept their entire post related to the thread, and even contributed to the discussion at hand.

You know what derailed the thread?
The fifteen replies to the post that had nothing to do with the thread, the topic or the actual post, it was all about their choice of picture.
That derails more threads than a picture can ever do.

Okay, that's fine. I kinda just wanted a real opinion on the matter.
>>82691
Full background from a former /co/ and current /mlp/er.

Derpy Hooves was a background character with no official name from the first episode with fucked up eyes due to an animation error.

Way back in 2010 /co/ dubbed her Derpy because her expression resembled that old Megaman crosseyed Derp image.

When the brony phenomenon sprung up, the animators included her as a named character who was dopey and reminiscent of "Which way did he go george" guy from looney toons.

At some point, Yamino, a tumblr transexual who claims to be disabled and lives off the American government, who has previously pissed off /co/ and /v/ as well started a campaign to have the show changed and it worked.

Long story short, autism. Here's some retarded Yamino shit for context.

Is it the attention?
>>
>>82691
Wait, so the parents with aspie kids got pissed because aspie kids were being represented in cartoons apparently? Did they even declare her to have aspergers or did they just decide that a semi-retarded character is apparently what their child is best represented by?

I guess you're not allowed to use anything BUT vidya related reaction images on /v/ then either, I guess that's shit posting.

Reaction images are just reaction images, they convey an emotion in picture form instead of using an emoticon. It's not shitposting just because the picture happens to be from a cartoon/videogame/show that isn't related to the board it's used on.

Hell, by your definition EVERYONE that ISN'T using reaction images is shitposting since this is an imageboard.

Yeah, and just because a reaction image is of a pony doesn't make it ponyshit, now does it?
Just like a reaction image of a video game character isn't automatically "vidyashit".

Look, I know you're young and haven't learned to ignore things you don't like yet, but as long as the POST is still related to the topic, their choice of reaction image doesn't really matter as long as you can clearly see if the character in the picture is happy, sad, angry or whatever.
It's people like you that derail threads that could've been perfectly great just because someone decided to use a pony reaction image to their post.

And I love the irony in you calling me "autist" when you have a hard time understanding that reaction images are just reaction images, and just because a reaction image is about something you dislike it doesn't give you the right to derail the thread because someone posted a pony.

This is a big issue. I have been a brony since the beginning and have been saving pictures ever since. I don't watch the show, I just think the pictures are cute. I have the contacts of every major /b/read poster and am even a part of their group, even though I don't participate ever since /mlp/ started.
They need help, those who still post on /b/. Downright it has nothing to do with 4Chan or /b/ and everything to do with the people behind the posts being, quite literally, insane and immensely butthurt. And when I mean butthurt, I mean they are sick in their minds.
I'm a brony and I cannot relate to what they are doing. It's not even about posting pictures of ponies anymore, it's about posting the worst most annoying pictures available, then creating your own to avatarfag, then to turn around and bitch out other people when they recolor the images that "they" made.
More or less, the issue is not with ponies and never was. The issue is with the elite little group of insane psychopaths behind the posts, and thinking that taking care of the /b/read issue is going about this in the wrong way. This has nothing to do with ponies or bronies or /b/read.

It pains me to know that there are people that are hitting you up for a nsfw mlp board.
nsfw and mlp shouldn't even be a fucking thing.
That's like you making a board dedicated to the posting and discussion of urethral sounding.

>well we helped create /mlp/
That's the worst part of it I feel. Especially since, if anything, they'll be the ones responsible if /mlp/ gets removed.

I think, until a long term solution is found, our only answer is to step up the moderation and janitor presence to curb it as much as possible.

If you're from /mlp/, there's a slight chance you may know me and I've probably pissed you off at one point, leaving you leeway to call me a faggot.

But I'm glad you liked that post.

We will suffer for their actions, basically.
They have this shit on /b/, /mlp/, Skype, and Steam to my knowledge - they have methods of communication outside of 4chan but still see it fit to use 4chan as their own personal chat box. So what the fuck.

Of all the boards to allow this.
I know it's because if you disallowed it it would spill back into /b/ but teach them some tough love

/co/ still has to share /mlp/ with /b/, so at least make it a little more hospitable

Or better yet, let MLPG back into /co/, we're not any trouble

Ok so I watched the first few and they were good, but ever since Lauren stopped writing each episode, the show took a dump. I watched maybe 12 episodes of season 1 and 3 of season 2. I'm good.

Sounds about right.
>bronies that can't stop posting in their shitty /b/ imageboard because they're addicted.
These people/children seriously need help if they're that addicted to this whole pony thing and not even doing a good job with it.

They're not making quality threads, their board is filled with /b/tards that shitpost everyday and derail any decent thread or poster that was in it.

They don't talk about the show and when they attempt to do it they're worse than /v/.

Also most of their traffic comes from generals, so the main page is left with only about 3-6 people to post(which are /b/tards) while 20 more are just lurking.

Good thing that was my only pony picture I have on my computer and it's Batman eating the pink one.

See, it's when people, just like you just did, start to assume things right away because of their choice of reaction image that threads get derailed.
Hell, it's almost happening here right now, ONE person responds to my other posts, then I decide to post a picture with a pony in it, and instantly 4 replies to that post.

So I guess thanks for proving my point.

FUCKING THIS. /co/marade and /d/eviant here, I visit /mlp/ from time to time, and just once I decided to check the /b/read just to see what it even was. It had NOTHING to do with MLP, hell 99% of the images weren't even pony related, there was Phoenix Wright shit and people keeping journals and whatnot tacked up. It felt like I was on a schizophrenics twitter or something. I don't go on /b/, but if they keep making pony related /b/reads there too I can't imagine it being any nicer.

... And just for the record, I TOLD them 'brony' was a bad idea for a name. I warned them right then and there that it was a bad idea, that it was too catchy, and would create a fanbase to rival Invader Zim and Sanic in terms of sheer autism. But 'noooo', I was just paranoid, they said. Fucking /co/ sometimes.

I feel like you made Global Rule 13 not apply to /mlp/ only because it would be too hard to enforce.

moot as a ponyfag I would like you to take into account how many people post pony shit in other boards just to piss people in those boards off, I know quite a few people who post ponies on /b/ and /v/ just to get a rise outta people and actually hate ponies, they just want you to end up banning it again.

also, w're not all horsefuckers and autists. I for one only talk mlp on /mlp/ and never bring it up on /tg/ or /x/
>>
>>82942
Because as moot stated, they need a home besides /b/. And I don't see them going to some other site like ponychan or mlpchan, since they dislike the rules on either site and dislike the moderation to a strong extent.
>>
>>82959
Actually, casual discussion. Nice try though.
>>
>>82945
/co/ hates it
Then again, /co/ hates HSG too, but HSG isn't really a site-wide hated thread. That, and if he didn't people would bitch about special treatment and /co/ might get "raided" or something which is just annoying for everyone.
>>
>>82855

Yes; that's right. More specifically, the current members of the /mlp/ /b/read that did as was asked of them and moved over there when they were told to. I understand that they are not the most well-liked group there, but at least they've shown a willingness to comply (even if only a little). Punishing that group would be counterproductive in my opinion.
>>
>>82908
moot, nor/mlp/erson here. You may know a guy called Aeris. He/she actually believes that those that post ponies on /b/reads and shit actually still do it to try and grow the fandom, love and tolerate, whatever.

I went to a /b/read today. There was open disdain for Aeris. They treated him like an adult trying to take away their candy. It blew my mind. How can a person not see what their shit has become? When /mlp/ hates, and the thing you yourself fought so hard for treats you like a joke...damn..

Long story short...thanks for everything you do. Thanks for /mlp/. It's a ghetto. But its my ghetto. I wasn't sure if you understood that the /b/ thread posters most times don't even like the show, and that they simply see MLP as another thing to avatarfag as...but this thread gives me hope.

I just want to go back to /co/. I don't know what can be done to "save" /mlp/. The problem isn't really with rules, it's just the fact that it's full of people from /b/. I really hate this "home board" elitism stuff, but the fact is that I left /b/ years ago for a reason.
I don't think there's really anything that can be done for /mlp/, at least from my perspective. I, and many others, are just posting in the /co/ thread and doing our best to pretend the move never happened.

>Willingness to comply.
A lot of them have been banned, only to come back, from what I've heard, which is grounds for a perma-ban. So they get their bans sent to them. Oh wait. Proxy time. So they do that. Even so, without all of that, you have people posting porn at random intervals, so /b/reads can often break multiple rules at any given time.
>>
>>82974
She came up with the idea for the show, devised a lot of the show "lore," produced both seasons of the show, the second with only slightly less of a hand in it. The third season will be the only one where Lauren has not actively had a say in what happens. I honestly did not believe the stereotype that none of you fuckers watched the show and now I'm feeling a sinking sense of horror that things are really much worse than what I believed.
>>
>>82976
i know I know, it wasn't intentional but reading my own post I realize that now

You know compared to the amount of rule 34 for threads that come up on /mlp/ the amount of rule 34 /b/read on /mlp/ posts is small if even significant .

I wonder how hard it would be to serve each IP address a different ID. Doing so would kill this scheme, but might not be practical. You don't want to have to regenerate the whole page for every user. Maybe it would work if the IDs weren't part of the page but were retrieved via AJAX? Still might be CPU intensive, though.

Still, it would be kind of a losing battle. If they really wanted to get technical, they could cryptographically sign their posts and embed the signature in their images.

That's the problem with MLPG. Its as if you have your fingers stuck in your ears and are loudly singing with eyes shut, trying to ignore whats around you. Its a lifeboat mentality. Instead of trying to improve the board you were given, you simply stick to your little thread like its still 2010 and complain about what surrounds you.

I like /mlp/. I can discuss horse candy vag one second and show discussion the next, Applebloom is best CMC one second and I Want To Cum inside Rainbow Dash the next. You can have your lifeboat. The water is just fine for me.

Closing this so I can sleep and hopefully curb the number of threads asking the same questions re: ponies.
