I spent the day sorting through and re-reading a few thousand e-mails from 2010, and it was really a blast from the past. What a year it was.
Thanks for an awesome 9 years, and for some great e-mails along the way.

As always, I read all of my e-mail and can be reached with questions/comments/concerns/hate mail/and plain ol' hellos at moot@4chan.org (or on AIM at MOOTCHAT).
tl;dr version of 2010: "SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, and VIRUSES: The Movie"

So I was just banned from /k/ for reporting the shitposter Coldsteelfag who is known to constantly advertise Cold Steel and throw around childish insults to people who call out Cold Steel. I was in the middle of dumping images of operators (special forces) in an operator thread. Why should I be banned for trying to improve the board and contributing while he shits up the board and he can still post?
>>
Also here is the thread I was dumping in. I use the trip "Garrus_Vakarian"

you're supposed to report posts, not people. If the post itself is breaking the rules then you report it, but if the post is posted by someone who constantly breaks the rules but is not in violation of the rules itself, then you don't report it.

reporting every post a guy makes to get the mods' attention is also annoying as fuck and an abuse of the report system, so don't do that.

as the image says only report posts that break the rules (and you don't have to break up 4chan links either)
>>
>>433731
Literally every single one of his posts is advertising or just calling someone else a faggot.
>>
>>433731
Also thank you for addressing my concern.

This.

I was banned for reporting a single post of his in the same thread because it was advertising a product and bashing all competition of said product.

He's been banned for this sort of thing before, but he's back and better than ever.
>>
>>433768
He posted a picture of a warning he got not too long ago about the mod banning him if he got anymore reports.
>>
If you wanted to improve the board you would report the thousand or so daily threads about gun control, ranging from pro-gun propaganda image dumps, passing through 2a dissertations to he latest developments on whatever shitty US State you live in. It's impossible for everyone else to enjoy the board if you monopolize front page with your petty shit.
>>
>>433782
Was honestly the first time I've ever reported anything, on this end. Now that I know how, I can spam report shitpost troll threads about 'YOU KILLED THE CHILDRENS'.

The intention is to corroborate the fact that we had a shitposter advertising for something for something on our board (as he does at length) under a tripcode and got banned for reporting it.

To me someone advertising guns is more gun related than people advertising their retarded political views about them, and dare I say it's also more fruitful considering you only rival /pol/ in the pervasiveness of the never-ending circle-jerk threads where your established beliefs are swallowed and regurgitated from mouth to mouth until everyone is equally full of the same bile.
>>
>>433848
Knives, actually. He advertises knifes, for a specific brand, and not even a particularly good one.

>X and Y are shitty and you should feel bad

What does that have anything to do with reporting a trip for advertising, against the rules, and being banned for it?
>>
adding to this faggotry, please insta-ban people who go on /ck/ talking about gun ownership. there is a contingent of gunfags posting on the food board. I think one of them is a mod or janitor too.
>>
>>433875
To add in to this and what >>433782
>>433848
said, we may need more janitors on these boards than what we've got.
>>
>>433861
Knifes are still weapons related

>What does that have anything to do with reporting a trip for advertising, against the rules, and being banned for it?
Priorities. Talking about weapons, whatever his intent is, is more pertaining to /k/ than dealing with political views about them. Maybe if half of the board's threads weren't only tangentially related to weapons his threads would stand out as spam, but given that nobody reports those threads (including you) what under other circumstances might be considered as spam is a quality contribution in the absence of primarily weapons-related discussion.
>>
>>433949
I'm sorry but OP here you obviously do not know the rules of /k/. Political discussion pertaining to gun rights is allowed. CSF does not contribute to the knife threads and just tells everyone their knives suck and Cold Steel is superior and then calls everyone who disagrees with him a faggot.
>>
>>433949
Posting about knives is weapons related.

Posting incessantly about one particular brand of knife and how everything else but that brand is shitty and you should totally buy this instead, consistently, every day in mid-afternoon is spamming and advertising.

He is still a rules violator, whether there are other things with higher triage on the board or not, and being banned for reporting him, once, makes no sense.
>>
>>433961
Also, pretty much this. We have poster IDs on this board, you don't need to post that you're the OP.
>>
>>433967
Ah yes sorry, I'm used to /k/ haven't been on this board or /b/ in a while.
>>
>>433961
>Political discussion pertaining to gun rights is allowed.
And you obviously don't know /q/ or moderation, people here come to bitch when they are banned for that. Same as in other boards, absence of moderation doesn't imply consent to discuss whatever isn't immediately deleted. Take /sp/ or /v/ for example. If you weren't so new you might recall the sporadic /k/ purges.

>CSF does not contribute to the knife threads and just tells everyone their knives suck and Cold Steel is superior and then calls everyone who disagrees with him a faggot.
So he is a fanboy, not legal grounds for a ban.
>>
>>433963
So he is an obnoxious out-spoken fanboy, welcome to /v/, not a spammer unless he offers you shit in exchange for money to put it on the simplest terms possible.

Why try to better the board when we can have /pol/ shitposters all over the place talking about JJJJJEEEEWWWWSSSSSS and deleting /k/ related posts is so much more fun?

>mfw sometimes i just goto /q/ just to see if there's new complaints about /k/'s moderation

i swear it was never this bad before around november/december. new staff?
>>
>>434058
I'll concede to this point, but if this is the case it should be better clarified in the rules.

"Advertising (all forms) is also not welcome - this includes any type of referral linking, "offers", soliciting, begging, stream threads, etc."

It states all forms. Constantly telling people to buy something from a single, particular brand while nay-saying its competitors with images of broken product broken for the purpose of slandering said product is a form of advertisement. If it's not one bannable, then there should be better clarification of this to ease the load on the moderators.

>Not a spammer

This is fair. He is a shitposter, not a spammer.

i'm surprised you only got banned from /k/ actually. not that i agree with your ban, it's just i've been banned for sillier reasons and its usually global ban.
>>
>>434121

The crush of people form every shit boards on this site like /pol/, /soc/, /r9k/, /b/, /v/, and /cg/ after Newtown, combined with the fact that we have moderation staff that appear to have zero interest in knowing what goes on on /k/, what appropriate topics are and making sure they remove as much /k/ related content as they can so other people can have room to shitpost.

I think /a/'s mods are actually less autistic than /k/'s. Maybe they should switch for a day.

It'd be like a sitcom, minus the live studio audience.
