There have been a lot of complaints that mods haven't listened to the /mlp/ community's concerns. Well, I'd like to try to remedy that. Let's have a mature discussion about the state of /mlp/, and what we can do to make things better.

Before we start, I want to reiterate that /mlp/ is a work-safe board, and will continue to be a work safe board. We are not going to allow pornographic images, even spoilered. The generals that are being removed are those that have had constant problems with NWS images being posted as the topic of the generals is entirely sexual in nature. There is simply no way to have a recurring set of threads which are thematically focused on rape, ass-worship, lactation, or other topics of a clear sexual nature without having NWS images being posted. They should never have been allowed in the first place, and for that we apologize.

The My Little Pony fanbase is an amazing font of creativity that we want to foster, and we want to provide you with a place to discuss and share pony content in peace. Given that NWS images are not going to be allowed, and generals which are a continual magnet for NWS images are going to be removed, how are we going to move forward here?

Please post your thoughts below, or else mail them to mods@4chan.org.

Why not just make porn spoilered? Honestly, most people said they were ok with that, the only ons not ok with it are you, the mods. You have to look past what YOU want and actually do what is right to help fix the /mlp/ board, we are not going forward at all, you are draggin us back.

/mlp/ has been the way it has since its creation. why is it just now getting fucked by janitors and mods?

why start enforcing sfw rules if they haven't for literally years?

Would it be ok if I made a thread on /mlp/ redirecting to this one?

Can you target the actual clop posts rather than getting rid of whole generals wholesale? I fear there were many sources of clean creative content that were destroyed due to a few nsfw posters

Are you the same janitor(s)/mod(s) that has been moderating /mlp/ in the last month?
By just removing explicit NFSW images and shitpost.
If yes,why this sudden enforcement of rules?
>>
>>640332 (OP)
The problem isn't the porn. The problem is the janitors and the mods constantly deleting threads that have no NWS content in them. Even things that are SUGGESTED get deleted. It almost seems like its ponychan 2.0 in there, and it honestly feels like that. A amount of /mlp/ have already left and have gone to mlpchan. If you don't want ponies here delete /mlp/. Its that simple.
>>
>>640332 (OP)
Why are Satyrs classified as Anthro, when EQG is not? EQG discussion is not allowed on /co/, as it is a spinoff of the MLP brand, but the characters are far from fully humanized, including things like Equine ears, horns, wings, etc.

Is EQG an exception to the "No anthro" rule because it's a part of the MLP brand?

One thing I don't understand is that /mlp/ has never been a truly work-safe place.
The place was enjoyed as a self-moderated board, which set it apart from all other possible places on the web of similar nature.

Why keep it and force it to be as clean as possible, when there are already hundreds of safe for work Pony sites out there?

>>640332 (OP)
Here is a question, why the hell do you care so much if there is nsfw stuff on there? It's fucking 4chan, one click sends you to hardcore porn and there is virtually nothing stopping you, there are lots of sfw sites why the hell does this one have to be? Not to mention many of this 'horrible' nsfw stuff was amazing, the writers were great and it actually brought people together, but now you, the mods, are being complete dicks, not helping anything and obviously trying to take down the board.
>>
>>640353
Because 4chan is an 18+ website, and NSFW images obviously aren't 18+
>>
>>640342
>why start enforcing sfw rules if they haven't for literally years?

We have always enforced the rule against NWS images; we have to issue several bans every day on /mlp/ for NWS.

>>640345
>Can you target the actual clop posts rather than getting rid of whole generals wholesale?

We've tried this, and it hasn't worked. And honestly, can you really expect a thread about giant lactating breasts to not attract porn dumpers? We should have nipped it in the bud long ago.
>>
>>640332 (OP)
Is there any reason /mlp/ was targeted for specific rule crackdown over boards like /sp/, /tv/, /co/, etc? Or was it really just random chance?
>>
>>640332 (OP)
I just think it is inconsistent to suddenly increase moderation to such a ridiculous extent. We just want the moderation to be the same as before. It is the janitor becoming overzealous with deleting everything that caused this whole shitstorm in the first place.
>>
Well, here's the deal.

You're never going to allow porn.
You're never going to allow "NWS" material, which covers a great deal more than porn.
You're never going to allow anthro, borderline fur or anything other than fully human or fully pony.
You're never going to allow the borderline non-pony threads/social threads like Tulpa.

There really isn't much to discuss. There's nothing you can actually change.

What exactly is wrong with Satyrs anyway? It's SFW, and considering it anthro is really, really stretching it.
Also, aren't ponies already anthropomorphic by definition?
>>
>They should never have been allowed in the first place, and for that we apologize
Yeah you fucked that up big time, for over a year now.
And guess what, now it's an integral part of board culture.
Regardless of what you do, there's just gonna be constant bitching and shit posting if the status quo is changed.
I don't see what the big fucking taboo is.
Make the board a god damn NSFW board and BOOM, problem solved.
Is there even a specific reason for /mlp/ to be SFW other than "IT IS BECAUSE WE SAY SO"?
Not one mod nor moot has given us a legitimate reason for keeping it that way.
It would be nice to know what the fucking deal is.
>>
>>640332 (OP)
So a mature discussion you say?

>No Porn allowed
I know you want to have a SFW board but even if you can deside this you can't deside whatt users will you have and we aren't dudes who don't like porn. I really think you should allow porn iwth specials conditions like

Its NOT THE PORN that is the problem. Its the constant deletion of threads that have absoluty no NWS content in them. Go look at the threads that got deleted yourself and see. You need to tell this janitor to back the fuck off. Delete porn sure no problem, just do not delete our general and topic threads like Anon In Equestria and Fluffy Pony.


Also you simply cannot delete a thread just because you think something NWS is gonna be posted. Please justify your reasoning for doing this if you can

How do you justify the random deletion of posts or threads that are NOT breaking any rules?

For instance, a thread calling for a dump of episode pictures and suggesting that we get new content on the board was deleted in 2 posts earlier.

After that, a post featuring an image of the original board sticky was deleted.

What rules would these be breaking?

These are just a few examples of thousands where no rules are being broken.

What say you?

Why not...

A. Make mlp a NSFW board

or

B. Make a sub-board under mlp that is NSFW

I really don't see what the big deal is with having a NSFW mlp board.

It's a SAFE. FOR. WORK. BOARD.

Just move on.

Also something from /mlp/ I think you should read before it gets deleted.

"rules sticky.....They don't make sense. Ponies are not a work-safe subject under any circumstances. Not only would I never let my co-workers know I watch the show, I would never be caught on any 4chan board while at work.

The current sticky thread at the top of /mlp/ is insulting. It uses Barney the purple dinosaur as a comparison, which is ludicrous. Barney & Friends does not have the mature themes running just beneath the surface that MLP:FiM does; nevertheless, casuals perceive both franchises as being on the same childish level, and perception is reality. You'd have to be crazy to let your co-workers know you liked either show. Neither is safe-for-work.

The rule against anthro is also unnecessary. Ponies ARE anthro. They're just closer to looking like four-legged animals than, say, Disney's Robin Hood. They talk. They have architecture and technology and music and literature and art. Does the creature in the image accompanying this post actually look like a pony?"

The fact alone that /q/ is constantly getting flooded with pony shit is enough to prove simply, that you don't get it and that your not willing to work out a compromise with /mlp/

/mlp/ has, on average, 25 thousand posts daily, and these issues have been going on for approximately 3 weeks. 2000 instances are a conservative estimate.
>>
>>640358
Honestly at this point you all have set a precedent by not enforcing from the get-go. Now if you suddenly begin to full on enforce, the board will end up with neither the community that existed prior (Because they will leave) nor much of a work safe community (Because of the pre-existing stigma of the community that has existed on /mlp/). Making it a red board seems to be the only way to both enforce in a manner that allows for content to thrive while enabling the community (And the revenue it generates through advertisement) to remain intact.

No offense to the mods, but why post a sticky that literally states the rules as if we were 10? It was just a big slap in the face and /mlp/ ended up having its own Night of Broken Glass because of it.

>>640332 (OP)

Yes, /mlp/ regular and someone who doesn't much care about clop and NSFW stuff here.

4chan is a mature website, yes? Your disclaimer says as much:

The content of this website is for mature audiences only and may not be suitable for minors. If you are a minor or it is illegal for you to access mature images and language, do not proceed.

This easily spells out that this is a mature website. If so, why bother with this? /mlp/ was perfectly content the way it was. Don't fix what isn't broke. If Lauren Faust, who had lurked /mlp/ before, felt comfortable enough to post on the site while it was in its previous condition, why can't it stay the same?
>>
>>640380
Or make a mature tag like mlpchan does and put it for all SFW boards. You could probably ask the people who createdthe site, I'm sure they would be willing to help.
>>
>>640353

4chan has never been a democracy. moot created /mlp/ to be work-safe.

You serious?

Well then,
I think the big problem is that the moderation came by like a tornado and ripped the guts out of /mlp/, some of the generals removed were SFW, I get kicking Milky, Flutterape and even Fluffy Ponies (despite it being half-hugbox and half-torture dungeon) but I don't get kicking some of the border stuff, even the most SFW boards here occasionally get borderline NSFW threads. Tulpas while not show related don't really have a place to go, /x/ kicked them out and unless you want to force /x/ into accepting them they're going to need to stick to /mlp/. Satyrs while bordering anthro don't make much sense being banned if you're going to allow humanized stuff, hell people were talking about just posting the upper half of the pics to avoid bans.

Like it or not /mlp/ built it's own little sub-culture and I get why moderation would rather see it go but really, what else can you do during the hiatus? Circlejerk about the show? Well we already do that but other things have grown from that.

I think the solution would simply just to make the board NSFW, /mlp/ has grown around being a lightly moderated board and it won't go SFW by just deleting half of it's content. Plus, you'd stop edgy morons from shitting up a board and please the no-so-silent majority.

If you're really going to listen to what we have to say, all I have to say is, based mod. If you're baiting us, well not much we can do at this point...

Okay, maybe this can finally be explained in a rational way for everyone to understand.

Just WHY is /mlp/ a SFW board? This is a website that is an +18 age limit, or meaning, for adults.

Yes, personally, all the porn over on /mlp/ can really get annoying and I wouldn't mind it being toned down quite a bit. But this is 4chan, the one place I'd expect to have full freedom in actually saying and doing things others would never even want or allow.

If there's actually a proper reason for /mlp/ to not be a NSFW board so this shit can be done and over with, why can't there just be a simple toggle switch to turn it on/off? I'm surprised to say that mlpchan has one, why doesn't /mlp/?

You killed off flutterape, it isn't even about clop in anyway, anon is trying to get away from fluttershy making it funny. You killed off our humor you killed off our freedom of writing.

And for Milky her NSFW stuff was usually linked with imagur, which is allowed. Just like flutterape your ruining something that has no problem with it. You sit there on your throne acting like a moralfag of 4chan, stop deleting threads such as this and you'll stop the shitstorms.

Keep NSFW stuff down low, were in hiatus no show no nothing, what do you expect us to talk about a show with no content for 9 months plus, if you think a board can run like this well you aren't fit for being a moderator at all. Keep porn as you did before not being up for maybe an hour or two at NIGHT and deleting it after.

It keeps us quiet and we won't shitstorm.

And for the banning for joking, you seriously should be fired or reassigned.
>>
>>640405
And you admit it. Finally.

Moot only does what he wants, he does not listen to anyone but himself and does not give a shit about anyone else.

You are, in face, deleting threads just because you can, not because they are breaking the rules.

The mods couldn;t give a smaller shit, they only want to keep stroking their dicks.

My thoughts on the newly retarded sticky.


>Suppose you work in an office, and you really like Barney. All your coworkers know this and they think it's quirky and tolerable. You are a member of an internet fandom revolving around Barney and his dinosaur friends. Some people draw fanart of Barney and his friends. Some of this fanart is questionable or even downright pornographic.

Alright, so why the fuck would you tell your co-workers anyway? Unless you're autistic enough to just randomly preach "br0ny culture 4 lyfe," your co-workers have no reason to know of your love for a children's show. Okay, maybe it somehow slipped out, fair enough. They know you like a children's show.

>If you would not be risking your job or reptuation by letting a particular image of Barney in this hypothetical office setting be seen on your computer by your hypothetical coworkers, then the image is not safe for work.

Oh, well, why would you be looking up pictures of a children's show at work anyway? Shouldn't you be, you know, working?

>Replace the show with MLP:FiM and you have the test that is applied to determine if an image should be deleted and/or its poster banned.

Alright, whatever. If you're supporting browsing /mlp/ in public and when you should be working, so be it. Some people (although I'd say the minority) don't like NSFW artwork. Fine.

>Q2. Why are so many generals being deleted?

>A2. Any general revolving around a sexual fetish involving horses cannot possibly be construed as SFW. There are places for discussing those things, and that place is not the work-safe /mlp/ board. Rather than deleting 90% of a thread and watching it throughout its lifetime, those threads are just going to be deleted.

So Tulpa General is a fetish now? And regarding the previous example, if you are browsing /mlp/ at work for some fuck all reason, why would your co-workers be standing behind you reading text that is "NSFW"?
>>
>>640405
I come from the tulpa generals, and the real argument for B&ing them was that they "weren't pone related".

The only problem is that some users have pony tulpas, which means it automatically goes to /mlp/. As much as we'd love to go to /x/ or some shit, we can't because "NO PONE".

You don't have to make /mlp/ a NSFW board, but rules must change. The current board as it is today, porn or no porn, just doesn't work with the rules that are currently being enforced. People liked /mlp/ as it was, noone ever complained, and people called it their main home in the big fandom. We don't want to have to move to other places because there's simply no other place like /mlp/.

>Our current software does not support 'sub boards'.

>Thinly veiled meta bitching

Nope.
The post was a part of a series of posts on images from /mlp/ history, and it fits that description, it was the only one actually deleted, in a thread where a few posters actually WERE complaining.

As I said, Indiscriminate.

And there is nothing about dumping images, and encouraging others to come up with creative new threads that would even come close to the definition of bitiching.

>can you really expect a thread about giant lactating breasts to not attract porn dumpers?

yes, PONY does attract porn dumpers, NOT specific pony discussion in the first place. Generals followed the rules and posted everything on imgur.

the porndumpers even waited to late night with the porndumps because they respected that not all people want to see it.

Everyone respected each other, or just ignored what he didnt liked the most time.

>A thread about discussing Fluttershy raping you is not safe for work, a thread about abusing and raping child-like fluffy ponies is not safe for work, a thread about pony ass worship is not safe for work, etc.

Again, those generals are mainly text based. Unless your computer is a movie theater sized screen, no one should be able to read the words on your computer screen.

>Here's a rule of thumb: Imagine yourself describing the content of a given general to your coworkers or non-horsefucking friends. Is spaghetti flowing out of your pockets before you're halfway done?

Describing anything regarding MLP as a whole would cause mass amounts of spaghetti, so in that ideology, you might as well delete /mlp/ all together.

>"Well, it's a thread about ass worship. (DANGEROUS TERRITORY) Uh. But only about horse (I HOPE THE NEXT WORD IS 'RIDERS') asses (NOPE. TOO LATE TO GO BACK NOW.). We post lots of drawings of our favorite horse asses and masturbate to them. (LOVE IS OVER)"

>Oh, and >>>/mlp/rules/7 . Ponies only! No anthro. What counts as anthro? Let's refer to this chart: http://i.imgur.com/HTSAiRZ.jpg Do not post 3. 4 is pushing it. Satyrs are not allowed. Humanized IS allowed, but it has to be fully or near-fully (4 on that chart) humanized.

Deleting posts because they mention something sexual is absurd. Think
about all the times on /a/ that they bring up sex in a discussion or
point out something that is lewd. Or all the times /v/ does an
unboxing of or mentions dragon dildos. Those are work safe boards
discussing clearly NSFW things but nobody has a problem with it, the
same way nobody has a problem with it on /mlp/ except the mods. Tulpa
threads are considered NSFW by the /mlp/ mods for reasons I can't
imagine but /x/ has them all the time. Almost anything deleted is
being talked about freely on /co/ about other shows so I fail to see
why it suddenly becomes a problem on /mlp/. I can see where they're
coming from if you're talking about actual porn but most of the stuff being banned isn't pornographic in any way, or simply mentions something to do with sex. Also fail to see any reasoning behind banning anthro.

The porn may have a place on /d/ but all the other things people want
to discuss need to be discussed somewhere and if they're banned on
/mlp/ even though most of the things they are banning are clearly SFW
then where are people going to talk about them? /b/? /co/?

Apparently you're trying to slow down /mlp/ to get rid of it as dead board. If you really are trying to do so, only to reduce madness that will most likely follow deletion, then you're stupid. So far, you're only making people angrier. If you delete this board now, it'll be worse than if you did without "preparations". I'm not expecting you to widely admit that's your plans, but consider what I've said.

And if you don't really trying to delete it, then why not simply remove/modify rules so they won't be so restrictive? Everyone enjoyed /mlp/ as it was. Even unrelated tulpa general decided it's a good place for them, because this place was just damn nice. Now it's not MLP-related board. It's /mlp/-related board.

>>640462
The main fact that these threads are now banned completely wasn't because of their mature themes but because they inevitably spouted with porn pictures. The mods said they're wrecking it because it's too much the handle now.

What about NWS text? I know r34 has been getting deleted on a regular basis since we first got a janitor, but it seemed like NWS fics were mostly ignored.

Also, what's the status of CYOAs? I know there's a "no roleplaying" rule, but I assumed it was referring to the super-autistic free-form roleplaying you see on those shitty free phpBB's, not quest threads (CYOAs) or structured (D&D style) roleplay (like that MLPFMTORPG thing, or whatever it's called).

Finally, tulpa general is banned now - is that because it's not sufficiently pony related, or because it's full of fucktards who spam porn for no reason?

i'd say that the problem isn't the rules themselves, we have live with them for years, but rather the interpretation

>SFW

ok no porn dumps, but what we can't say we want to cum inside rainbow dash? we can't say we are sexually attracted to pinkie? being depraved and weird is what makes the board interesting.

>the generals

the generals are what keeps people coming back during the long period when there aren't new episodes of the show to talk about. Alot of generals that are suggestive, questionably show related, or just plain weird have been purged. this is a problem because alot of the content creators subscribe to one general or another and those generals are what kept them posting

>not pony related

content that is not 100% related to show discussion or the show itself is getting cut under the current interpretation of the rule that this is where the mlp stuff goes. /mlp/ would prefer a more loose definition of what is pony enough to be allowed on the board as we don't want pony images or references to pony anywhere else on the site. If something isn't pony at all and it gets deleted /mlp/ understands, but if it's on the border to the point where a good argument could be made either way (tulpa, risk where all the nations are characters from the show) people get sore

ideally we will have a red board or something but if the site is determined not to allow that than a lighter interpretation of the current rules and a more subtle approach to keeping /mlp/ clean could coax most of the site back.

Why are Satyrs (full human on top half, full pony on the bottom half) considered "anthro"?

If satyrs are anthro, then centaurs, drow, and naga are "anthro" too, and thus are designated as "furry".

Why are you listening to any of these people from /mlp/? You're only going to be dealing with the loudest most vocal pissed off trolls that want the board to be NSFW and don't agree with anyone who sets rules.

You're not going to accomplish anything here. Even if Moot himself says

One of the major questions is: What caused the decision to implement these things now of all times? The board itself was puttering along quietly, and although a few complaints undoubtedly existed, utilizing those as reason to crack down on the entire board seems frivolous.

Let us not forget that /mlp/ does generate a signficant portion of revenue for the site.

Why would that make it a better decision to attempt to make the already outcast residents conform to arbitrary, pre-designated decisions, rather than adapt the rules and procedures to fit the community in question?

>>640332 (OP)
The real problem we have is jsut because of how things have been handled by moot and the mods when it came to /mlp/. Here's a little perspective as to why things got like they were and people are reacting so extremely. I'm not even going to mention the porn. I just want to lay out some context.

/mlp/ was made to contain. The rules as they still are now were written with the idea of both keeping people there and encouraging others of migrating there. They were only really updated once with one rules that did little for the rest. The rules were all made for starting the board, not for running it. So when /mlp/ stopped being a pool of people from all over 4chan yelling at each other to stay on their side of the room, the rules no longer worked. As they are they can arbitrarily be applied to nearly anything. I could easily pick any thread on /mlp/, ever, and explain how it doesn't fit the rules.

Here's how it felt from our side. It was like everyone who liked the show was rounded up, put on a ship, and tossed onto an island to fend for ourselves. We were given rules that only kept us there but no one on the island itself to enforce them. We went for quite some time with no more moderation than a passing mod and the feeling that no one cared enough to even make sure we followed the rules. So what happens when you have rules that aren't being enforced? They're ignored. We eventually came up with our own rules that we forced onto each other. For example, we have a rule allowing avatarfagging, but try it on /mlp/ and people will make sure you don't keep at it long.

So that's how we got this. The rules on /mlp/ were made by us and the rules of 4chan weren't as important to us because no one was around to enforce them. We had no reason to even respect them when we got so little respect.

Yeah, we did. All that shit that we can't do now? It was within the rules we set. Porn was fine so long as it was spoilered, etc.

>>
>mfw Mod start off by saying "we will not make the board NSFW or allow such content on /mlp/"
>followed by all these tears

>>640405
Let me explain why the Tulpas are off topic:

The entire thread that they had going was about making thoughtforms called tulpas. It is more of a topic that belongs on /x/, but to summarize, they basically just slapped a sticker saying "PONY EDITION" on it, when the actual content has nothing to do with ponies other than what the final "products" of someones personal "tulpamancing" happens to be if it is a pony.

Their threads are mostly just Social circlejerking about their personal lives and whenever they are talking about the topic of their thread, the content is the tulpa PROCESS, which is in no way specific to ponies, only if the person is to want to use the process to make a pony tulpa is it anywhere relevant to ponies at all. They could discuss the exact same thing by talking about the process of the "HOW TO:" on /x/, but they just get mad because they can't post pony images along with their posts.

The tulpa threads actually left once before this and stayed on the Tulpa.info forum, after a bit of infighting and the tulpa threads agreed to leave on peaceful terms, until someone decided to being them back fairly recently and it became /soc/ general as well as their main topic being not related to ponies in any way (again, refer to the "slap a pony sticker on it" analogy).

Hope that helps, And i'll probably get yelled at by the tulpafags.

We do not necessarily wish for /mlp/ to become a full-out NSFW board, we just wish the moderation to be more lenient as it was until about a week ago. We need lenient moderation in order for our community to unfold and actually discuss topics. Since it is apparent that you will never turn /mlp/ into a NSFW board in any shape or form, we just ask for more lenient moderation as before. If you are going to enforce the rules to the letter from now on then I'm afraid you might just as we'll delete our board because we already have plenty of other sites with such draconian enforcement policies. /mlp/ was special only in regard to its leniency in moderation.

Now you have turned us into just another Ponychan, which is something we can and will not accept just like that without resistance.

TL:DR Give us the old /mlp/ back with the old enforcement and we'll be happy.

Do you really expect a whole board for discussing ONE show that is currently in a one year hiatus to be entretained just by discussing something already analyzed to death

Well shit, maybe you should, but you didn't.
/mlp/'s culture grew with little to no moderation, that allowed it to have what no other pony sites had.
We could discuss pretty much anything, it gave us room to create, room to create a culture unique to anything ponychan/roundstable/EQD had to offer.


Imagine leaving a child to themself for the longest time, only to show up at the door one day and drag it off to bible-camp. What the ungodly fuck do think will happen?

Point i'm trying to make is, if you wanted a ponychan2.0 you sould have killed anything NSFW related from the get-go.

Neutering /mlp/ now will effectivly kill it.
>>
Why not give this bastards their NSFW board, it's the same exact thing moot did with /pol/. They couldn't abide by global rules, they didn't want to abide by global rules, so they don't apply to them now. That has been the standard treatment for the shitposting communities that originated from the "legit" boards. Because /r9k/ sucked moot created /adv/ to contain the bawww threads begging for sympathy not-so-thinly veiled as advice requests, because /b/ sucked (more than usual) moot created /soc/ and /s4s/ for /b/tards to camwhore and post dubs, because not even /co/ could tolerate ponies /mlp/ was created and I already mentioned /pol/'s story.

If that statement holds true then we would need to delete any small boards simply because they are not making a good profit in regards to the bandwidth they take up.

The end-goal of 4chan, like any site, is to utilize the users gathered to produce revenue.

Whether this is accomplished through products or through advertisement is irrelevant, as inevitably the site is designed around said revenue generation.

Leave them alone, that's the only suggestion. Satyrs are community driven projects. And the whole "No Anthro" is going to destroy and discussions for Equestrian Girl, since they gain their tails and ears in the movie, which is considered "antro". That, besides avataring, should also be an exception.

But, now, serious question...
It's obvious that me and many others are pissed, with the current state of the board, /mlp/ right now, but mod...
What's with all the general deletion?
I know (most) of it was just fetish, but apparently the shit kept us in peace. I also know it is "NSFW" (load of bullshit), but all REAL NSFW was linked. The only ones that really broke the NSFW rule were the Milky Way, for posting the NSFW images straight to /mlp/, and Tulpa General, which just was an /x/ topic with PONY slapped on it.
So, why all this deletion? If it really is causing this much chaos, isn't it just really logical to change /mlp/ into a NSFW board?
>inb4 it is nsfw and that violates rule
It's obvious, very much so that the NSFW was (somehow) keeping the board together during the hiatus.

Please mod, help us for good! So nothing fucked up like this will happen again!

From what i've seen these have been getting deleted.

So why is it I can make threads on /co/ for dumping vaguely sfw and suggestive pics of tame fetishes, but posting greentext fanfiction or linking in nsfw pics on /mlp/ is against the rules suddenly?

Is /co/ just not enforced as much? Then why are we getting the special treatment?

In the end, the reasons put forth for why we can't have, as silly as people find them, threads like the Milky Way generals, when we've always been willing to keep pic sfw there just to be allowed...

Eh, I might as well input my opinion
Look at it from our perspective, we went from having pretty much no moderation, and generally being allowed to roam free and post whatever the fuck we liked to having ponychan levels of thread removal and random deletions on subjects that for as long as most had been around were seen to be alright.
You basically came in outta nowhere, deleted threads with nothing inherently NWS within them, caught a lot of other threads in the crossfire and generally caused a massive shitstorm (You weren't the mod who banned pony back in 2011 by any chance?)
Now we have threads you say are fine and can be posted, yet are getting deleted in seconds, obviously there is a fucking massive breakdown between what other mods/janitors consider to be rule breaking and what you/moot/the rest of the board considers rule breaking

Tbh, you will never get a coherent view of what the board really wants from /q/
Like moot said, one mans culture is another mans shitpost or some bullshit like that
So, I suggest for the time being, you roll back moderation in /mlp/ to removing dubs spam, spiderman shit and NSFW. then once all this has settled down a bit, open another Q&A, with whatever responses you got from moot and we can probably work from there
Hopefully
Like this is gonna make any fucking difference

Then it sounds like you're shutting down reasonable, mature discussion before it gets started, aren't you?

There is no legitimate reason for /mlp/ to be a work-safe board. Spoilering the images should be more than sufficient. "My Little Pony" isn't even a work-safe subject. There are very few workplaces indeed where one would be safe reading a pony board on the job, or any 4chan board, for that matter.

Will all due respect, the moderators' attitude about this subject is dictatorial. "Work-safe" is not something that the majority of /mlp/'s users want.

The porn can go to hell as far I'm concerned, but I've seen threads completely safe being destroyed just fore the sake of causing harm and annoy/humilliate people.

Dan, who's famous on /co/ for his amazing comic storytimes uses to visit /mlp/ to dump the official comic once a week and even his threads were vandalized by the janitors.

Now the guy isn't willing to go back to /mlp/ and we lost an awesome contributor because of those abusive rules bein enforced just for the sake of causing harm.

Once again, my complain isn't about the porn so I would like an answer for this.

Also, this image has been going around on several sites and it made me think a bit.

I dont get why the mods turned into hard asses all of a sudden.

>Generals
are okay it tends to keep the same people in them and they usually never crosspost out of them

>Clop
I know its a SFW board but every now and again we have a good ol clop thread to "release" stress, most people are smart and spoiler it and if they dont alot of people will comment telling them too

Imo, make it a NSFW board, its not like we brag about /mlp/ at work and I know I only browse /mlp/ on my phone when im working.

/mlp/ did a good job of moderating itself before this shit storm happend. But now your just giving people a target to attack when they cant have the threads theyve been having for months.

also fuck you faget.
we all enjoy pones thats why we go to /mlp/

The rules should have been this anyway.

First of all, thank you for diving into a sea of people that hate you with a passion.
I'm just happy we finally have some communication with our mods.

Anyhow, I wanted to ask how NSFW are posts allowed to get?
It seems its definition has changed from "No genitalia anywhere" to "Nothing even remotely suggestive, text or pictures"

Why is this?

I think a lot of content (namely, humorous content) has kind of been chopped off because they aren't allowed to play with this now.
Just limits the variety.

Nothing promted a change, there was no change.

We've either got a mod that cares about the board or moots doing some spring cleaning one board at a time.

>This is the destination for all My Little Pony related content on 4chan.
Obligatory.

>This is a work safe board. No pornographic images or other not safe for work content is allowed. This includes clop clop!
Obligatory. This is staying put. However, would you mind reworking this to give some hints on stuff like NSFW text?

>Do not post "dubs" threads.
Keep. Also possibly include "ROLL" threads.

>Please no roleplay threads.
Keep, but what if this also be updated to possibly include threads that belong on /tg/ like TotalWar and DnD threads? Specify what kind of roleplaying isn't allowed, if not ALL roleplaying.

>Threads should be about something show related, not someone.
Should be clearer on this rule, because talking about fandom drama/VA's/Show crew and whatnot generates good discussion, I suppose as long as it is not too inflammatory.

>Please keep it civil! Bronies and ponies should play nicely, and if necessary keep to their own threads.
Is this a sort of "Ignore shit you don't like" rule? It should stay, but a bit of clarification is in order possibly.

>Ponies only! No anthro.
This, as far as I have read into it, You already explained on the /mlp/ sticky.

>Global rule 13 does not apply to this board.
/mlp/ Does not want to house Avatarfags and that usually leads to roleplaying as well. Please remove this exception.

>Remember, friendship is magic!
Indeed.
>>
>>640669
this isn't show related
404 whole thread
>>
Probably one thing I must suggest

Get rid of rule number 8, there's really no point to it at all. rule 4 exists and /b/read got kicked out a long time ago, not to mention rule 8 doesn't add anything other than an excuse for people posting the same character repeatedly to annoy the shit out of others, it might add to circlejerking but no one wants that now do they?
>>
Could we make mlp a NSFW board on the weekends, when people aren't in work?
>>
>>640656
Actually, I would imagine anyone stupid enough to be browsing any 4chan board at work would be smart enough to realize that they didn't have to click every single picture.
>>
Alright.

Everyone both advertising mlpchan (which legitimately has taken in a lot of the affected threads, regardless of the overzealous few users saying it too much) and everyone wanting /mlp/ to be NSFW (or a sub-board of NSFW)...

Why not just make mlpchan the NSFW sub-board itself?

/mlp/ can remain as moot wants it - safe for work, no anthro, no non-pony threads/roleplaying/social threads, and people who want to post those things can do so at mlpchan, but with a semi-official tie between them?

Would pretty much satisfy everyone.
>>
>>640668
This. Every one of those deleted generals told people not to post NSFW images, there's no reason one idiot should get the thread deleted
>>
>>640550
this nigga, he's making a good point about the whole thing.
What's the deal in allowing /mlp/ as it was?
The place was completely functional adn it allowed to talk about ANYTHING this fandom has to give.
>>
>>640562
>/mlp/ is going to remain work-safe. I am open to suggestions about the rest of the rules.

The reason is because M00t said so?

I'm sick and tired of this fucking mod, all he does is beat around the bush, and he'll keep doing so untill its gone a long enough time for him to say "whelp, that's all the time i had, see you later"

Reasonable Rule Suggestions:
1) Allow content that may not be EXPLICITLY pony, but has it's roots in MLP (ie: Satyr threads)
2) Allow greentext stories that are related to ponies (this includes AiE, CYOA, ect)
Text is NOT a NSFW issue, it's text and does not run the same risks as a pornographic image.
Earlier today, even posts that had curse words in them were being deleted.

The rules on "Anthro" cannot feasibly apply to /mlp/ anymore.

Equestria Girls is a My Little Pony Movie that is being released on SUNDAY and features characters that could be considered anthro, given thier bizzare colors and the fact that some of them wear wings and horns.

This content would not be acceptable under the current board rules, and therefore should go.

Pic related: it's a known image from upcoming content.

>>640332 (OP)
The problem I see is you guys are doing a /vp/, wich is controlling the content of a board and enforcing the rules to keep the actual discussion from drowning in porn and the like
Problem here is unlike /vp/, /mlp/ has more control of themselves, they are more used to porn and barely use it to derail other threads.
The cleaning of /vp/ was necesary, it saved the board from being erased, but it wasn't needed on /mlp/
>>
I've seen a relatively good idea to have a set time where generals and porn is allowed, the only problem is the time is different around the world. If we base a solution off off of this, we might be able to make general and porn posters and lurkers happy. Just a thought.
>>
>>640667
Yes, I know that, but there are more legitimate people there than roleplayers.

You should try it out first.
>>
>>640629
>Use spoilered text and images to prevent the new episodes from being "spoiled"
True that, however in the past I found that everyone's watched the show because of easy access to the episodes and (hopefully) the film, and then you find yourself with very little you can spoil for others unlike /v/, /a/ or /tv/.
It would make more sense if p0ne had stayed on /co/.
Also >/mlp/ is show driven is hard to stick to on a how-many-month hiatus that the show's on at the moment.
>>
I have asked time and time again and gotten nothing but shitposting buzzword "yiff in hell" responses. Why is there a bias against material deemed "Furry"? That is the reason MLP porn, NSFW material, etc. etc. is all handed down as "rules". Yet noone has ever provided an argument that isn't based on circular reasoning or 'argument from authority' or 'I just don't like it'.

>>
The problem is is that the Janitor is extremely strict

You'll have threads on /v/ dedicated to feminists and jews and yet if you so much as mention absolutely anything that isn't related to the show or comic it is immediately deleted

It's behaviour like this that leads us to believe that the mods want to push users away from /mlp/ so there will be no complaints when it's deleted

> 2. This is NOT a work safe board.
> 3. Threads should be about something related to the show, or to the culture of which it is a part.

Period, end of report. /Mlp/ is not a board for children. It is a board for the franchise's breakout demographic, which, by definition, is not made up of children.

>There is simply no way to have a recurring
set of threads which are thematically focused on rape, ass-worship, lactation, or other topics of a clear sexual nature without having NWS images being posted. They should never have been allowed in the first place, and for that we apologize.

And this is exactly the reason why /mlp/ went into riot. You already let it go for more than a full year. I realize that it is still against the rules, but you also have to realize that /mlp/ isn't going to take nicely that threads that were part of it get deleted overnight.

So tell me one other thing. What exactly is it that we should be discussing here? You are not going to allow porn. You are not going to allow social threads. You are basically not going to allow anything that /mlp/ is complaining about. And most of this recurs to the usual "Moot doesn't want it." End of story.

So what is left? Clearly there's not argument here. What little agreements can be made between the staff and /mlp/ will still be things that will leave no one satisfied.

Your intentions on doing this may be good, mod, but honestly, it's not going to go anywhere.

Your rules are reasonable on paper. On this thread, you seem to be very logical and precise. On /mlp/, however, all I'm seeing is 404 everywhere, places where it shouldn't be.
But then, I thought we were better with less moderation at all. Rules are cool to state, but the less enforcement the better, especially when it comes to anything with shades of gray.

>>640592
>What about NSFW topics and text?

NWS text is not a problem in and of itself; it became a problem when a years-long series of general threads produced a large amount of NWS images which continually get posted. The problem with the sex-oriented generals is that they could never be separated from NWS images regardless of how many bans we issued.

It seems as if I am falling behind the influx of replies to this thread. I will do my best to keep up, but I cannot promise to respond to everyone.

I seriously doubt it has anything to actually do with the board being Work Safe, as that alone is no reason for such a sudden crackdown on a board that was having little to no problems or effect on the rest of the site.

There has to be a legitimate reason for the sudden crackdown floating around. I'd even go so far as to insinuate bribery

its just another form of censorship and if the people post respectfully, spoilers etc,

they should be able to post.

What goddamn pornagraphic image content has flutterape made, you never actually looked at the thread did you?

Flutterape is more comedy based, fluttershy is a nervous shy fuck she makes a terrible rapist. But she keeps on trying to rape anon only to fail miserably.

It barely has anything to do with actual rape.

Here's my opinion.

>What needs to go
NSFW images. This means no visible nipples or genitalia. The same as all the other blue boards

Threads that consist solely of dumping suggestive images

Threads that solely produce NWS stories.

>What should stay
Suggestive images posted outside of image dump threads

NWS text posted outside of generals.


Is this a good compromise?
>>
>>640768
>The problem with the sex-oriented generals is that they could never be separated from NWS images regardless of how many bans we issued.

What about FlutterRape? They're merely humorous stories where Fluttershy just tries to get in Anonymous's pants and fails miserably. It never brought porn to the general, yet still gets deleted.

I'm likely not going to be acknowledged, and I'm likely never going to be heard in the stream of comments. I probably won't even be looked at by fellow anons, and likely will be skipped over. But on the offchance that I am, on the very small chance that not only an anon sees it, but a MOD, then I will be satisfied.
I can propose a great deal of things, all of which are unlikely for many reasons. But the most probable one, is not to make a sub board, but to make yet another board for ponies, but in the NSFW section. I know this is highly unlikely, since we already have our own board. We already have been given more than we deserve from you guys, and we thank you for that. But in all honesty, if something isn't done, A lot of anons are going to leave, and already have. Personally, I considered leaving myself, but the /anon/ on mlpchan just doesn't feel.... right.
I would feel almost dirty leaving 4chan for such a silly reason. But I think that if there was an NSFW board specifically for us horsefuckers to go, I think you would make a lot of anons happy.
If you did take your time to read this, I have to thank you an incredible amount of times over. I really appreciate you guys' dedication and will to keep your site clean, and I hope you keep doing a good job.

/mlp/ is a shithole, anyway. It's full of a bunch of selfworshipping scumbags that feed their bullshit (manipulating "autistic," hating on the rest of the fandom, and generally being a bunch of jackasses).

None of those are going to happen, based on what he's said.

Most of us who have been here for long enough would rather the board be SFW. Not because we don't like the porn, but because it being SFW works in our favor because it keeps the place from becoming entirely about the porn.

But here's what doesn't make sense.
>text with nsfw material being deleted
Seriously now, this is retarded and wouldn't work on any other board if you tried enforcing it.
>suggestive pics being deleted
anything could be considered suggestive so just fucking make the rule about actual pornographic material.
>linking nsfw content from somewhere else.
Even generals like the milky way threads, who always did this, wouldn't be just spamming the stuff. We just want to be allowed to talk about it. We're fine not being allowed to post it.
>anthro
it's practically canon now. pony anthro, i hate it, but i can't argue against it. Just fucking allow it. We don't want actual furry shit. We just want to be allowed to post actual show and fandom stuff without bullshit deletions.

No, you're a bigot who takes your cues from some ancient, stupid "Law & Order" episode or Fox News, some crap like that. MLP:FiM is a furry topic. The characters are animals. In the final analysis, furries are just fans of animal characters, anthropomorphized to varying degrees. Sorry to break that to you, but it is simply a fact.
>>
- Please remove our exception to the avatarfagging rule. Since the /b/read isn't on /mlp/ anymore, it's pointless and avatarfagging is not approved of on /mlp/.

- Please ease up on the anti-anthro rule. It's outdated and stems from ancient furry butthurt. EqG is making anthro characters canon anyway.

WAIT!

You say that NSFW text, including greentext, is acceptable. Which means that the so called "fetish" generals ought to be fine as long as they don't post any NSFW images. Since these generals really just want to be allowed back, I'm certain they would be amenable to posting their photos elsewhere and linking in, but the topic itself and the stories involved ought to be acceptable.
>>
I want to know one thing.

I have asked this several times before, but as usual, the ones in 'favor' of it do little else but spam buzzwords, accusations, and similar trolling ilk, rather than defend the position they assume (I can only figure they have little capacity beyond parroting responses they heard elsewhere, as can only be typical for le edgy xD teen). I have no interest in responding or replying to someone whose argument comes down to "I don't like it because someone else doesn't like it", or "You shouldn't like it because it shouldn't be liked", which seems to be the extent of logical discussion they can provide.

So here's the question:

What, exactly, is Moot's rationale behind the hatred of things deemed "fur"?

Because this seems to be the basis of what, for the protestors / anti-mods / rustled people, are considered to be the problems.

>Why does this rule exist?
-Because we don't want pony porn here
>Why can't we have pony porn?
-It's too much like furry porn
>What is wrong with furry porn?
-We don't want furries here
>What do you have against furries?
-"yiff in hell", "fursecution", "buzzword extravaganza"

Can anyone actually provide an argument based on principles and reasoning that provides a satisfactory conclusion there? Because I have yet to see one.

Almost the entirety of this new "culling" can be derived from that attitude. No anthro, no porn, no flutterrape, no etc. all because of the "SFW" setting, all because of the 'fur bias'. I'm curious.

I openly challenge any of the buzzword-spouters to, for once in your life, step up and make a case, a real case, and prove you have some intelligence.

So far not a single person has been able to answer this question without using the phrase "Because Moot said so", "Because furries are bad", "go away brony furfag" or any dozen variations therein.
>>

Problem is that "suggestive" is highly subjective.

Suggestive stuff like >>640835 should be allowed.

>>640768
Flutterrape doesn't post nsfw pictures though. Milky Way is primarily green text and links to pics that are nsfw.
Ass Worship is just suggestive pics.

Simplest option, but as we've established this isnt a suggestions thread this is a complex way of saying: "No. It will be this way because i said so."

>>640864
It is, but for fuck's sakes, if they are not going to allow NSFW on some boards, then go ahead and remove the age limit of 18 for those same boards too and fuck up 4chan even more. It's the only thing they are left to do, and seeing how things are going, such a possibility doesn't seem as far-fetched.

This whole thing of having SFW boards falls apart when you see there's no reasonable argument to have SFW boards in the first place. This is a 18+ site; fucking allow 18+ content.

I can be bigoted against Islam, or blacks for example. Because those people were born that way, or raised that way due to cultural tradition. I can hate them, and it would be unjust to hate them; because it's something they have no control over and is a deep part of their lives.

But a furry? God damn, I can hate you all the fuck I want, I can mock you all the damn long day because you CHOSE to be a furry, you choose to fap to "anthro", you CHOSE it. And I can mock you for that, that is my right.

Dear MOD or moot who ever can you just return /mlp/ to how it was before all the shit storms and can you make it a nsfw board
and allow porn, generals, and risk threads
>>
>>640872
Spoilers don't work on /co/.

Everybody tends to forget that this isn't 2012 anymore, and we're not /b/ or /co/ anymore, just /mlp/. (and MLPG, but that'a different story.)

It's obvious that mods will never officially allow porn on a blue board.

So what? It's the same as all the other blue boards. Mods are asleep, post porn. Don't post porn, post links to porn.

I don't have a problem with porn. The mods have a problem with out-in-the-open porn, and we need to come to a compromise.

>>640889
I'm sorry, I mean NWS posted outside of generals whose purpose is to produce NWS text.

What you said is fine.
>>
>>640887
>He has already said it is staying nsfw.
And we are saying that his assertion is unacceptable.

Bottom line, this crackdown will pass, and the porn will come back. Moot, who does have the final say here, needs to reconsider his apparent unwillingness to remove the NSFW rule, because bad, unenforceable rules destroy respect for all other rules.

Janitors are very obviously going WAY too overboard with all of the deleting. The reason as to why /mlp/ will never become worksafe was because it was never enforced to be as such, and taking rights away from people, especially those as childish as posters on 4chan, is an EXTREMELY moronic idea.
On another note, the 'we should have done this' doesn't make up for [spoiler]horse[/spoiler]shit. We had always been relatively free, and most of us kept our stuff to ourself, except for the occasional shitposter, which any other board is just as guilty as ours is, then out of fucking nowhere janitors put a chokechain on us and yanked.
I understand the deletion of the porn threads, and the AWG, and sure, even the Milky threads despite AWG/MWG going out of their way to ensure their content SFW, any nsfw content linked.This pic related shit has to just end before posters just start going into other boards and shitting all over the place. I hope that someday you can manage to cleanse this mass of filth and meld it into what Moot had originally planned, but you're going to have your work cut out for you and I doubt anyone here will actually believe you're trying until we see some real proof, then if you're lucky /mlp/ will be more cooperative with you.
>>
>>640899
>this thread will not help anything.
There are more threads about this on /q/ than this one. This is not a topic that's likely to die down, either. Nobody is going to accept "That's the way it is." I've been on 4chan for years, and I've never seen a shitstorm of this magnitude.

They need to remove the rules against NSFW and anthro content. That stuff will be posted to /mlp/ regardless. As I saw on a documentary once, the filmmaker asked an Amazon Indian Chief, "Why do you ask your people what you should do? Why don't you just tell them what to do?"

The old man said, "Because if I did that, I would not be their Chief."

/mlp/ has a ton of problems and shitty posting.

There is not another board on 4chan where porn, sexualisation bullshit and etc forced in a massive amount on a SFW board daily like /mlp/. There is not a single other board on 4chan that needs special attention when it has problems with keeping it's shit under control like /mlp/.

Basically
Calm the fuck down with the moderation, let things rest for a little bit. then try and change the rules and open Q&A sessions. right now its just gonna be buttmad faggots complaining about NSFW

>This is the destination for all My Little Pony related content on 4chan.
Obvious, but needs to be kept because people are fucking stupid
>This is a work safe board. No pornographic images or other not safe for work content is allowed. This includes clop clop!
Agree with this, but it needs more detail. What construes as NSFW, risque images, text etc
personally I think it should just be on blatant porn, but use some initiative when it comes to the more fetish material
>Do not post "dubs" threads.
Obvious, and covered with Global rule 3
>Please no roleplay threads.
Define roleplay, Obviously pretending to be a pony, but what about DnD campaigns etc
>Threads should be about something show related, not someone.
Would probably be better worded if it also contained something about fandom discussion, also discussing VAs, artists fandom "celebrities" (Assuming its not "I HATE X")
>Please keep it civil! Bronies and ponies should play nicely, and if necessary keep to their own threads.
Like 4chan was ever civil, you should know how to ban people shitposting
>Ponies only! No anthro.
Define it, the sticky was alright with this

It's funny.

/mlp/ without moderation was able to regulate itself fairly well, by keeping the board mildly interesting. Even if it was full of shit threads, there was good stuff too and it was usually a good time.

Mods try to come in and enforce the rules to make it a better board, and they achieve the opposite. People complaining and the whole board has turned uninteresting because it is hiatus and honestly there's not much pony to discuss.
>>
>>640611
>I think there are a few rules that REALLY need to go: "Threads should be about something show related, not someone."

This rule has been pretty irrelevant for a long time. Perhaps it can be reworded? The idea is to keep the board focused on PONY content.

>>640623

This was always in effect. The sex-oriented generals were still always full of NWS images. Still, a simplification of the rules does seem to be in order.

>>640651

They shouldn't have been. Again, I will look into this to make sure the janitors haven't been deleting things they shouldn't have.

What you've said seems fine to me, but the sex-oriented generals are not going to be allowed to return to /mlp/. Other threads with NWS text do not seem to be a problem, so long as they are not accompanied by NWS images.

>>640711
I do not know why that was removed, unless it was something that was being spammed for some reason. The scruffy comment makes it seem like it was a complaint thread. Why mention the janitor at all?

the rules sticky on /mlp/.....They don't make sense. Ponies are not a work-safe subject under any circumstances. Not only would I never let my co-workers know I watch the show, I would never be caught on any 4chan board while at work.

The current sticky thread at the top of /mlp/ is insulting. It uses Barney the purple dinosaur as a comparison, which is ludicrous. Barney & Friends does not have the mature themes running just beneath the surface that MLP:FiM does; nevertheless, casuals perceive both franchises as being on the same childish level, and perception is reality. You'd have to be crazy to let your co-workers know you liked either show. Neither is safe-for-work.

The rule against anthro is also unnecessary. Ponies ARE anthro. They're just closer to looking like four-legged animals than, say, Disney's Robin Hood. They talk. They have architecture and technology and music and literature and art. Does the creature in the image accompanying this post actually look like a pony?
>>
>>640967
I'm one of the posters from the Massive Pony general and judging by the threads that we tried to maintain over the last two weeks, folks like us would be more than happy to make concessions to stick around. Spoilering or just flat out linking the more risque and fetish-y material, keeping CYOA and greentext from just devolving into a clopfest and even polite sageing the thread to keep the exposure on the front page to a minimum is not out of the question. We're more than willing to work with the staff here.

Anon in Equestria: contains stories and very rarely bannable pics, should not be banned

Pony in earth: see above

Milky way/milk bar/crotchtits general: a thread centered around a pony with anime level huge tits between her legs. concerning the central point of the thread, even if it contains no NWS pics, bannable

Ass worship general: a thread centered around pony ass, bannable

fluffy pony general: i refuse to comment on this

tulpa thread: basically take /x/ level brain demon shit, and throw pony into the mix. i could see why it would bannable but i like having it there, even if i don't participate. pls don't ban

At this point it's been established that /mlp/'s poor moderation is entirely the fault of, what a fucking shock, the moderators. This has allowed /mlp/ to grow into what it is today, and now the fine folks upstairs attempt to rectify it in the most excruciatingly drawn-out fashion.

Here's what it boils down to: either cut this shit out and own up to your mistakes like intelligent people, let /mlp/ go back to being a self-moderating blue board that fulfilled its purpose in containing the pony infection because really, we all know that's the only reason why its here
OR
Keep trying to win this unending dick-waving contest with a board that exists only to keep the rest of the website pony-free, make everything more stressfull for both parties because you refuse to relent to the very same entity that overwhelmed the entirety of 4chan in 2011

Pick the mature choice, and everything goes back to being sunshine and lollipops in strawberry fields forever, everybody's happy. Pick the stubborn jackass route and this bullshit will continue to persist while putting 4chan at risk of a second coming, and nobody wants that.

Mods don't seem to give a shit. Almost one of their thread removals was based on some preconcieved notions of what the thread was about.

Flutterrape was about fluttershy hilariously failing to get in anon's pants. But they assumed it was about brutal, stone cold rape. And got nuked.

Milky general was about a tumblr pony who had big tits, the tumblr itself not being an overtly sexual tumblr. No NSFW pictures were ever posted directly on the thread, and people who did were chastised and reported. Hell, they were even accused of being "too in league with the janitor" for the longest time. They still got nuked.

The mods clearly haven't been visiting /mlp/ long.

Why isn't it possible to make /mlp/ a NSWF board, by the way? There are plenty of other boards people could move to if they are bothered by clop images etc. Not that I would care, but that's the actual thing that differs us from other boards.

That, as such, we were a DISTINCTION in the fandom in itself, and that's one of the reason Faust herself came? And that, by enforcing those hypocritical rules, you're ruining that?

Do you, seriously, even watch the show and get involved in all this?

This rule makes no sense, and bronies should stay in Ponychan.

This will need to be removed, unless you want EqG discussion to go to /co/, who don't seem to want it there. I dislike anthro as much as the next guy, but if they're just anthro drawings of the ponies I don't see why those would need to be forbidden when humanized and transformation is okay.

First problem I see here:
There weren't sex oriented generals. There were fetish oriented generals.
Maybe it's just because I'm asexual (oh, what a special snowflake; I know) but I find your wording misleading at best, and at worst positively wrong.

Second problem:
They weren't all.
Pony Transformation General rarely posted anything explicit--only softcore fetish fuel as far as images were concerned.

Dear mod, since moot will listen to you, please ask him for us, to change the board to NSFW. The majority of /mlp users want a board where NSFW can co-exist with SFW. This is the majority pleasing solution.

Why do "safe for work" boards even exist? Shouldn't you be working when you're at your job instead of browsing /mlp/, regardless of weather or not there is questionable material on it?

again, is suggestive considered NWS?
I mean, threads like Milky way even cropped their pics to make them safe, this from before the janitor went nuts. Almost the same can be said for other generals that were sex-oriented, such as fluterrape and Ass worship general (which only included suggestive pics). Almost none general contained porn, and even when they had it, they rarely derailed into a porn dump.
>>
There is a place to post any (legal) content on the site. Seriously, there's a board for fucking everything from 3D design to papercraft. Since the beginning of the site anything that doesn't go in a board has been dumped in /b/, which cannot have pony images posted because there's /mlp/ for that.

So where do they (I don't frequent the board) post their pony porn?

What has essentially been done is /mlp/ has been changed from a nsfw board (because of no enforcement) to a strictly sfw board overnight. Our culture has become largely nsfw.

Dear mod, I plan on doing a quest for the /mlp/ board sometime soon, however I was unsure if it was within the rule's boundaries or not. I'm talking of course about the "anthro" situation.

The idea is a quest based off of the video game Animal Crossing, where you're a simplified human character in a town with chibi-like animals for neighbors. I wanted to post this reference picture in order to see if it was alright to run this quest or not, as this is the kind of artwork it will feature for the ponies.

because this type of thing has been deleted before. if a thread goes down before it's time, and it's within the rules, and even by your current standards it's within the rules, IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN DELETED.

Reading the content, it clearly wasn't in violation of any rule previously or currently.

SFW boards have absolutely no reason to exist in the first place. For example, if my family is around, I'm not gonna be browsing 4chan at all in the first place.

Mod, I know you're looking out for the best interest of the board as a whole, but I just want to tell you that what you've done so far is a step in the right direction. With Tulpas, Milky Way, and the rest of the fetish generals gone the board has become a moderately better place.

Honestly, it's not just the content that these generals contained, but the posters in the threads themselves are just as bad. They constantly were remaking Milky threads all day, evading bans to post porn, and now they're even organizing offsite (Specifically on MLPchan) for a raid tomorrow in the name of "viva la resistance"

I just want to let you know there are users of the board who wholly appreciate the changes made so far and would enjoy it if the board could remain free of fetish generals cluttering up the place.

Just an issue I have with the sticky

>Q1. What material is considered "not safe for work"?

>Suppose you work in an office
Why are we considering this scenario? "Safe for work" has never been interpreted literally on 4chan, it's always meant "no visible nipples or genitalia." A look at practically any blue board confirms that.

>If you would not be risking your job or reptuation by letting a particular image in this hypothetical office setting be seen on your computer by your hypothetical coworkers, then the image is not safe for work.

Again, does moot really see 4chan as akin to a work environment? Are we to treat our fellow posters like they were co-workers?

>Here's a rule of thumb: Imagine yourself describing the content of a given general to your coworkers or non-horsefucking friends. Is spaghetti flowing out of your pockets before you're halfway done?
Half the content on 4chan would cause a spaghetti explosion if I tried describing them to friends or coworkers. That's why I discuss it on 4chan and not at work.

Imagine these rules applied to any other topic discussed on this site. Seems a little heavy-handed, doesn't it?
>>
I'll repost what I posted last night on /mlp/ (it was late and I don't think many saw it).

First of all, nothing on 4chan is "SFW" in the true sense of actually being safe to look at while at work. Nobody in his right mind would browse any board on 4chan, SFW or otherwise, while his boss or coworkers might see what's on the computer screen. We can't kid ourselves about this. It's part of the very nature of 4chan's culture and general usage. People break the rules all the time, often for the very sake of simply breaking the rules, and since the only hurdle for anyone posting anything is typing a 2-word captcha, this is bound to happen constantly. Hell, even the stuff that's accepted as "safe for work" is by most workplace's standards not at all safe for work (girls in extremely skimpy clothing, spam involving curse words or racial epithets, etc). Designating a board as "SFW" is not and has never been any kind of assurance to the users regarding content; it's a suggestion to keep things mostly on topic rather than having every other thread be a porn dump. /a/ is SFW while /h/ collects the porn. Nobody on /a/ complains about this--because /h/ exists.

I'm not going to make the case for a separate pony porn board. Honestly, I think that would be a stupid idea for multiple reasons. However, I would like to point out a glaring inconsistency regarding /mlp/, its allowed content, and the rest of 4chan as a whole. Right now, pony porn resembles a subset of images that are like no others on 4chan. Furry porn (actually, furry imagery in general) doesn't have its own board, and is in fact banned from all boards, with the exception that it can still be posted on /b/. If furries want to get together and have a porn thread, it is completely within the rules for them to do so. They can post normal, work-safe images on /b/ and not get banned, and they can post the most ridiculous, hardcore porn their fandom has to offer on /b/ and not get banned.

It depends on what definition of Anthro you use.

Furry used to be banned on /b/ and now there's always at least one fur thread somewhere.

Therefore, explicitly redirect the porn to /b/, or /s4s/, and don't ban people for posting pony there. That solves that problem.

>>641145
This is not the case for /mlp/. Since /mlp/ is SFW, porn can't be posted there. Since global rule 15 exists and doesn't make an exemption even for /b/, ponies can't be posted there. Thus we have created a completely unique set of images as they are treated by 4chan: NSFW pony pictures. The only other images that are treated this way are those that are fucking illegal as per US federal law. Take a moment to let that sink in.

Why is this a problem? 4chan has always been about posting whatever picture you want, provided it's not illegal. Your image will get deleted and you might get banned for posting it on the wrong board, but that just means you didn't post it in the right place. If there is no "right place" you can always post it on /b/. Now there are images for which there is no "right place" on 4chan. I'm not going to claim to be some kind of authority regarding 4chan culture and "how things should be", but I've got to say that after 8 years of frequenting this site, I find it absolutely mind blowing that its operators have decided that out of all the disgusting, horrible, offensive shit the internet has to offer, pony porn is the ONE THING that 4chan cannot stomach, on any board, under any circumstances.

Gore? Sure. Rape? Why not? Bestiality? Of course, but those horses better be fucking REAL.

Yes, they are. The ponies themselves are anthro, just more toward the "animally" end of the scale, which is why the no-anthro rule is so fucking stupid.

Sure, they were cancerous, but they aren't really breaking any rules. Maybe give them a little warning about staying on-topic, but otherwise, they should be fine. The other NSFW generals I agree should stay banned, though.

>>641145
>>641171
As I see it, there are two simple solutions to this. The first one seems obvious to me: make /mlp/ NSFW. Why the fuck not? I honestly don't understand why this would be a problem. I know I mentioned before that SFW boards are created as such to curb the amount of porn that gets posted on them, but I don't think this would be a huge problem for /mlp/. The posting culture on /mlp/ is strangely topical--people stick to a select few threads and then move on to reincarnations of the same threads after the old ones die, rarely making new threads about some random MLP-related thought that popped into their minds. The threads that make /mlp/ what it is right now will continue to exist regardless of any new ones that people start posting. That said, there are several classic threads that are, as defined by the rules sticky, no longer allowed. Making the board NSFW would in fact legitimize many popular threads that have persisted since the existance of the board itself. Like it or not, these threads are part of /mlp/'s culture (and I'm saying this as someone who finds most of these threads revolting). It's ingrained, and this is why there's so much lamenting right now. Note how the tone of the complaints is primarily "I guess it's finally over" rather than "FUCK YOU MOOT."

The second solution would be to just allow ponies on /b/. I'm not too crazy about this idea to be honest, since it completely ignores the fact that the banned threads in question would be better off in /mlp/, but at least it would stop /b/ from being "post literally anything as long as it's not illegal--or ponies."

I just want to say that this moderator isn't acting in good faith, and it's obvious that he doesn't have any real stake in our community; he is only stepping up his moderating as a pretense to collectively punish us for being part of the FiM fandom, which he hates. This whole thing is like a giant concern troll.

I study criminal justice, and this is what we in policing would call a case of poor discretion. When you're taking care of a community, you have to make sure that you are using proper discretion when dealing with people, choosing which violations you're going to go after and how harshly. The moderator isn't doing that at all, he's mindlessly punishing everyone as often as he can, as hard as he can just to get a rise out of us.

If the moderator were a patrolman and /mlp/ were a neighborhood, the chief of police would have relocated the officer a long time ago.

I think a big thing is the censorship. We don't want to be censored. 4chan (especially /mlp/ compared to the rest of the fandom) was one of the only good places for that. And everyone knows that porn and porn related generals and threads aren't the only ones being deleted. There are other generals and threads and posts that seem to be deleted for no good reason. It all comes down to censorship and the fact that /mlp/ was one of the last havens in the fandom where mods didn't shit up the place, not just about porn, in regards to everything else as well.

Here are my opinions on /mlp/'s rules
>Implying they matter.
Short version
Keep rules 1, 2, 3, and 8 and elaborate or get rid of the rest.


Long version
>1. This is the destination for all My Little Pony related content on 4chan.
This.

>2. This is a work safe board. No pornographic images or other not safe for work content is allowed. This includes clop clop!
The "NSFW content" that is not allowed should only be limited to NFSW images (e.g. pronograpgy, guro). Otherwise, this.

>3. Do not post "dubs" threads.
This.

>4. Please no roleplay threads.
Why?

>5. Threads should be about something show related, not someone.
Please elaborate. If you're trying to saw "you can't talk about a person that's "show related", (e.g voice actors)" then that's really retarded and unessesary.

>6. Please keep it civil! Bronies and ponies should play nicely, and if necessary keep to their own threads.
Ew... Has this rule ever been enforced?

>7. Ponies only! No anthro.
Why? What's the fucking point? You hating furries/anthro is not a good excuse.

>8. Global rule 13 does not apply to this board.
I don't see the point of global rule 13 existing in the first place other than "I don't like avatarfags" but whatever. I don't think avatarfags have ever been a problem on /mlp/ anyway.

>9. Remember, friendship is magic!
That's not a rule.
>>
>>641166
This so fucking much.

Whenever I saw a porn thread on /mlp/ I redirected it to /s4s/ where it's allowed.
>>
>>640621
>>640672
What about these?
Why was it decided out of the blue to start deleting everything that is remotely 'saucy' or negative?
Is a pony in a bathing nsfw?
>>
>>640332 (OP)
Here's the thing, OP. You cannot win this.

Let me explain:
1. You bow down and make /mlp/ a NSFW board. Next you'll have to bow to every other thing ever pushed on you.
2. You stay your course and keep /mlp/ a SFW board and people will just keep posting porn anyway. You seriously can't tell me you can keep up with banning people when they use anonymizers and whatnot. They simply don't care. Anon is legion.
3. You kill /mlp/ and you'll get swamped with ponies on all the other boards, as it was before moot made /mlp/.
4. Could make a /mlpg/ and /mlpx/ board.. SFW & NSFW. Problem is; you need more janitors for the same job, and there will be overlaps anons will fight over for eternity.

You're losing in every case.

However, I'll bite.
What would be the deal with fetish generals running around the site? does a bunch of posts in the internet upsets you that much that you even can't keep to your bussines on the board quietly? In my eyes, those generals where useful as a way of containment of any material that wasn't directly related to show discussion, and surprise, a fandom is not fully based on show discussion, it also needs space to create their own things, freedom enough to talk about silly things that stand out from the regular discussion.
So what's the deal with people having different interests inside a board?

People who don't know tabletops just call all tabletops even if they aren't DnD, DnD. DnD is WAY more complex than MLPRPG. That's like calling GURPS or Call of Cthulhu DnD. It's frustrating to anyone who takes tabletops semi-seriously.
This is from a guy who is one of the veteran players, back when mlprpg was just beginning to stand. After playing this, I eventually moved on to many systems, such as Pathfinder.

Well, seeing as the mod here is actually being pretty cool, I will hold my anger.
I do have a question though, seeing as there are 2 boards for gifs.. /gif/ and /wsg/, one being specifically for worksafe gifs, why can't we have the same deal on /mlp/? One board for SFW and one that was like before all the bans and deletions. There can still be rules for specifically no porn dumps, but it would allow NSFW topics. I understand board requests don't fly well with moot, but I'm just a curious /mlp/ bystander here.

So, out of curiosity, why are you just now deciding to open Pandora's Box after so long, Mods?

Let's face it. /mlp/ is a containment board. As such, it should be treated like a black box. What goes on inside the black box should not be messed with, lest the contents come spilling out onto everything else from inside the black box. It's worked so far, so why "fix" what is not technically broken?

Also, if you are going to enforce rules, enforce Global Rule #15.

Fuck.

Honestly the mods and janitors need to take a page out of /vp/'s book. Janitors will delete anything that is the tiniest bit borderline. That needs to apply to /mlp/

No, but the board is supposed to be. I can't consider straight up porn dumps and generals for fetish based tumblr OCs as show discussion no matter how you put it. The only reason any of you are complaining is because the mods fucked up and didn't enforce their own rules at day 1.

All of /mlp/'s rules should acknowledge the true rule behind everything else : Keep pony out of the rest of the place.

All of the pictures were SFW, and due to the niche-ness of the concept (and the limited supply of actual content), it never attracted people dumping porn.
We regulated ourselves pretty well.
There was some drawfag doing a quest/CYOA there, and he made sure there wasn't anything inappropriate showing ever.

It's fine. Take your time and do your job correctly.

If I can just restate the afore mentioned, perhaps a second NSFW board would be a wise choice. If the rules were more clearly defined in the beginning and enforced this shitstorm wouldn't be so bad, because it would be the normal routine to clear out the NSFW threads. However since /mlp/ has grown accustomed to being allowed to post the content they please, they will be extremely upset when moderation is finally enforced. You're certain to lose significant traffic when you take away so many threads, some of which are being purged without any real justification other than "preventative measures".

I'm aware that mootykins doesn't want pony porn on /mlp/, but there will always be porn being made of anything that exists, and someone will always want to post it. Attempting to take it away will only drive away traffic and encourage them to post it on /b/ or other boards, possibly raid out of butthurt. You remember what they did to /vp/, they'll act out if they're frustrated. The several generals on /mlp/ acted as a makeshift form of moderation, SFW and NSFW were segregated and simply ignored eachother if they didn't feel like browsing that specific content. It worked fairly well and if applied as separate boards would make things more manageable. If anything, it will at least help contain the undesired content and keep it away from everything else, kind of like how /mlp/ itself was made for that very same reason.

My point is, no one is going to be happy with the moderation and shitstorms will come from it(picture related). Right now you should just focus on damage control and how to keep angry nor/mlp/eople from shitting everywhere, and running away to another site with your traffic and add money.

I know you don't make the rules(and I respect you for doing your job and enforcing them), but I'm just throwing in my two cents for consideration.
>>
the whole problem here is that ponies were locked away in a ghetto.

If they were still allowed on /b/ and /co/, you'd get the usual single official pony thread on /co/, and who cares what would happen to /b/. it would not have expanded and specialized into tulpas, milkmares, and flutterrape. It might have just diluted and you'd see the occasional pony reaction image in a random thread and that'd be it.

As I said before, this isn't 2011. It's no longer le epic new subversive meme; it's just something weird people know about. And 4chan has always been for the misfits.
>>
>>640332 (OP)
>(...)/mlp/ is a work-safe board, and will continue to be a work safe board. We are not going to allow pornographic images, even spoilered.

Now I really don't believe that's fair, seeing as how a large bulk of members have expressed in outcry based on this.
If you ask anyone who had been browsing /mlp/ during virtually any period before this week, I'm certain that you would find that they would say: "Our board's culture was shaped by NSFW, we've been labeled by the rest of the fandom as such, and at this point, that is not going to change."
>>
>>641208
>1. You bow down and make /mlp/ a NSFW board. Next you'll have to bow to every other thing ever pushed on you.

Stop that, it's not the same when it was pretty much a freeway for a year and suddenly applied.

As for the rules, I'd say, just keep one for NSFW if you want, and let the board decide for the rest.

Drama threads, threads about people, threads about anthro, this shouldn't be for the mods to judge, but for the community. We'll weed out the "bronies" as best as we can. Sure, dubs and other /b/ shit should get kicked out but if janitors can't make the difference between that and ANY MLP related stuff then they are brain damaged.
>>
>>641224
No.

Will you people get that trhough your heads?

/mlp is never, ever going to be a NSFW board. ever.

Thank you very much for your patience. It's greatly appreciated!

I do want to make a suggestion in regards to the satyr threads. I never really cared for them personally, and I understand completely how we don't want generals that are cesspools for furries. However, I do think that there is a difference between furry "artwork" and furry "behavior". I'm not saying allow furry content to be put on /mlp/, but I think that as long as it's My Little Pony related, and as long as it doesn't give the idea that furries are welcome to shit on the board, then what do you think the issue is?

Also, while I can see the logic behind deleting generals that are obviously for/about porn, I can remember that before the banhammer started coming down, these threads were rather clean. Any art containing explicit content was censored, and any art that was uncensored was quickly deleted. So why delete the entire generals? The only reason I can see for removing the entire generals is to just make the janitor's job easier, and all I see is that /mlp/ is loosing users because of it.

I'd like to suggest the mods [spoiler]leave us to our own devices[/spoiler]

I'd really love to just return to the point we were before Faust showed up. But that's obviously not going to happen.

I'd also like to say, hypothetically, if porn were allowed to be posted as long as it is spoilered... that if you're at work, and you purposely go into a thread with the phrase "Ass worship general" anywhere in the opening post, and click on a spoilered image, it is 100% your own fault if you get caught. No matter how you spin it, that was such a god awful hypothetical situation to use in the sticky.


As for specific generals, I've never seen porn posted in a Milky Way thread. They have links that lead to NSFW, true, but nothing in the topic is directly popping up on your monitor. To the moderator, I ask, how do you think we would we be able to salvage this general without falling under a NSFW category? Simply leaving out adult links?

Satyrs. They're not anthro, and the stories are not completely about them. They often involve the mother, which is pony, the father, which is human, both stated as allowed. I don't see why they should be under scrutiny at all.

Stories. Specifically text. This entire site is a cesspit of foul and derogatory language. I don't see why words should be considered NSFW or why it would even be noticed on your monitor in a public setting. Flutterrape I very rarely see porn posted in; it is mainly text.

Borderline material. IE, sexy ponies. Swimsuits, lingerie, convenient censoring, etc. If there are no genitals showing, it should be allowed. If it's fine on /a/, /u/, etc, it should be fine on /mlp/.

I can't give an opinion on Fluffies. Other than abuse, I've never seen porn. The posters I've talked with don't even seem to appreciate the abusive aspect of it.

That's about all I can think of, right now.

Obviously /mlp/ isn't being improved by strictly enforcing the rules all of a sudden. It has become what it is and gained its userbase under the relaxed moderation, which most /mlp/ users were fine with, or else they wouldn't be there in the first place. Nobody was complaining before this happened.

Just go back to the way it was before. It won't be truly sfw, but it seems like most of us don't mind. Just delete the straight-up porn threads and leave the questionable stuff alone.

I had a question about the mechanics of the report button and I want to see if it may be a result of an influx of new people.

How does the report button work? Does after a set number of votes the thread gets deleted? Or send flags to a janitor/mod console?

I have a feeling this has less to do with a moderator/janitor issue than a influx of new people now going report crazy. Before hand I believe we were pretty good at self moderation only some people here and there getting deleted, but if it does have something to do with the newfags, It would explain a lot.

It's inside the cup of interest you are in. Don't like that subject? ignore it, you have 10 more pages in the board to talk about how much you like X episode. The generals weren't directly related to show discussion, as I said and now repeat, but to think that they shouldn't be allowed in the board just because of that is plain foolish. Is like going out with people that share your same interest and get mad at them because they get off topic from time to time.
Now apply that to a board, where you don't even see people, just posts. What would be the problem with some of those guys grouping themselves inside ONE thread and talking about it? Fucking generals weren't about cars or robots, they were about things with ponies, so why don't give them their space?

The mods obviously don't watch the show, they don't get the board culture, they don't get the brony culture either or the board position in it.

Can't they just leave the board as it is and leave it alone? Why do they bother if they don't care? Are they afraid some feminist website will find the board and be afraid because "dear god porn!!!" because its too late, and wasn't enough to scare her off.

So please, leave the board alone, for fuck sake...

That's the whole reason /mlp/ exists. If anyone on the staff had so much as looked at /v/ at any point in 2011 (or if /v/ hadn't started going into all-out sperg rage mode at anything pony-related) we'd still be on /co/ and all would be right with the world.

There was a time when it meant auto-deletion, but that got axed because as soon as people found out about it they used proxies to kill everything they didn't like. Now it's just a flag on the post, and janitors can sort their board by the total number of reports a post has. (I used to have a screenshot, but can't find it anymore.) A lot of the "legitimate" missing posts are probably due to the poster getting b& for something else and having all his posts nuked.

Yeh the NSFW argument doesn't hold much water no matter how you slice it. Going to 4chan at work in any form is asking to be fired. At any moment there could be 10 racial slurs in 1 page of text no matter what board you are on.

In my opinion, you have already shot yourself in the foot.

>The My Little Pony fanbase is an amazing font of creativity that we want to foster

It isn't anymore on /mlp/. The generals which you deleted (yes, that includes the NSFW) were tied intimately to a lot of /mlp/'s content creators, many of which provided both SFW and NSFW content. Writers, narrators, artist, animators, and a whole slew of other OC makers who got caught up in this fruitless crusade to try and sanitize /mlp/.

Many of them got banned, many of them had their material wiped off the face of the earth, many were shouted off the board by a minority of shitposters which the janitors did virtually NOTHING about. And we were left to pick up the pieces. Now /mlp/ is nothing but shitposting, ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH porn dumps, and anger towards the moderation.

You can cry a thousand tear-soaked sorry's here promising to offer a concession here and there, but those content creators don't want to come back to a board where they'll have to live in fear of the mods. And where a picture or an animation that doesn't fit within the narrow spectrum of the board's mod-established culture will send them on a one-way trip to bantown.

We're in the middle of a fucking hiatus until winter, mod. We need content. Some of that may be NSFW, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing so long as it's kept off-site and linked. Either you set things back to the way things were, or /mlp/ is either going to:

1.) Stagnate and die (best case scenario)
2.) Become a breeding hive for some of the worst /b/-tier shitposting that 4chan has to offer
3.) Containment is breached and every board on 4chan becomes /mlp/ (nightmare mode)

This, oh my god. They've all already moved to MLPchan if their porn general was deleted why can't they just keep two tabs open? It's the same thing as keeping two boards open because you want to talk about vidya with /v/ but still want to discuss dicks with /hm/. There is absolutely no point in making it a red board if the topic of discussion does not directly involve NSFW content, making a new board entirely for pony porn is even more of a stupid idea.

Is there any way moot could make /mlporn/ or some shit, a NSFW for all /mlp/ related content, and be completely open about the fact that it is ENTIRELY for containment? The rules could look like this

Then you just need two tabs, 4chan doesn't have to touch those things (since moot is adamant about much of it), and the community remains somewhat undivided.

This has probably already been asked but whatever. What about suggestive images? Like for example certain "poses" in socks but without any genitals or stuff like this?
I mean you can probably find pics you know some people fap to on every other SFW board but by the definition of NSFW in the /mlp/ sticky pics of girls in a bikini (suggestive or not) or something like this shouldn't be allowed on any SFW board. I think we can all agree that this definition is pretty vague and makes all of 4chan NSFW, which it actually should be by THAT definition...

What clean SFW content (and that doesn't mean Milky Way with some kind of horse bra on) could you have possibly lost in the deletion of a general? Drawthreads were kept, Flutterrape was just moved into AiE, PiE is still there, what could you have possibly lost?

What's happening right now is that it's hiatus, everyone is overreacting over generals that should've been given the boot long ago, and sheeple are acting as if a few deleted generals on an anonymous image board about My Little Pony is the biggest outrage to ever happen.

CAN WE GET MLPG DELETED

THEY HOARD ALL OF THE CONTENT AND THEY SUCK
>>
Ok I guess I will take my stab at this. First of all thank you for your time mod, we really need to vent about this if anything is going to move forward with this board.

4chan has a legacy on the internet and in the pony/brony community, /mlp/ has some what of a legacy too. We are infamous for our shit, as well as our way with content. The way we became so good at it was because you the mods basically allowed us to with fairly little regulation.

Our fandom considers us the /b/ of pony boards. We are terrible; but great things have come out of us. We have started countless number of sub-fandom projects and original content.

To be truthful, many of us are afraid of loosing this freedom to do what ever the shit we want to do, because it has made us great. The creator of the god damn show has even graced us several times publicly because we had something special (Good and bad). I for one am very depressed about some of these great people I know moving to such shitty boards to run from this drama. It will be a huge change and that is worrisome.

I would prefer it remain closer to what it was than that it is now. We made generals with easily filterable tags so people could hide these threads that they are not apart of or do not enjoy. We tried our best to allow for as much content as we could without stepping on anyone's toes, but people still had issues with "Shitposting" but that would be taken care of if most people would just understand how to hide/filter what they dont like and I feel this is more to the core of the issue.

This is why we have the 'no roleplay' rule. CYOA and structured D&D style roleplay is fine, as it doesn't devolve into this sort of wankery.

You're absolutely right. It's a quandary. Do you honestly believe that ponies would be welcome on /b/? I don't. Any pony thread there would never know peace.

The color of the board keeps being referenced. I've been a user of 4chan since before /mlp/ was created or the mlp phenomenon all together. I remember when we were being asked for input on the rules and we were discussing it. As a community we wanted the board to be blue so that it wouldn't become a 24/7 porn dump. That wasn't to say anyone wanted it to be a completely porn-free enviroment. Ponychan exists if that's what we wanted. Compare to /a/ which is also a blue board. It constantly has threads about fetishes and rape that go unhindered. This is NOT due to lack of moderation since threads about Naruto are promptly deleted and the classic "U Guys like anime? What fags!" quickly received a user ban. Good times. This is the kind of moderation I wanted. That we wanted. But what we got was no moderation since our creation. Complete with hourly I don't get the appeal, stop posting ponies outside of /mlp/, and the "You guys are watching a little girl's show! What Fags!" We as a community ignored these to great effect, went about our business and the bait fell off the front page quickly and effectively.

Then Lauren visits and someone who should have being doing SOMETHING before decides it's time to clean up and make this place presentable, and forgets that this is 4chan. They start applying the rules in a way that is not in line with the reason the rules were made in the first place. This is why we are complaining. YES, it's against the rules. YES, this is a work safe board. You can point that out as much as you like but the fact of the matter is we WANTED a blue board. Because we wanted to be like the OTHER blue boards on 4chan. This moderation is NOT LIKE other blue boards on 4chan, thus we are COMPLAINING about it despite the fact that it is against the RULES.

and don't say you can't, because way back in the day when ponies were first banned on /b/, moot made a sticky on /b/ that said ponies weren't allowed and told them all to go to ponychan. so why not alter the /mlp/ sticky, clarify the rules:
>no anthro

>no "NWS" images

I don't want to be a pessimist, but you know Moot has a head as hard as a fucking rock. The mod will NOT be able to convince him of allowing MLP porn at all, because this is Moot's site, he doesn't like that kind of porn here, and will simply take action to prevent it from being posted.

Good luck with that buddy.

Moot doesn't get why the board even exist. If he was, he'd get that /mlp/ is the perfect representative of 4chan, and as such, it enjoys its liberty and ability to say stuff like "nigger" and "rape" without worries.

Yet somehow, moot is refusing that to us, because he thinks we're like the fandom outside, not realizing that the hugboxness and totalitarianism of the outsides places are the reason we're here.

>Pony D&d is fine

is this a hint that the "pony/show related only" rule is getting relaxed?

is it ok to post a not otherwise rule breaking thread as long as it is likely to produce pony images/pony talk (which would be the thread unpostable anywhere else)

tulpas immediately come to mind as something that depending on how strictly pony content is interpretted can be allowed or banned, there is alot of other things that will be questionable depending on how this is decided, such as a guy from /k/ coming in and posting a "pony gun, pics of pony toys with guns" thread

so if you can give some insight for how the janitors will handle the pony related content rule going forward it will be very helpful
>>

>This moderation is NOT LIKE other blue boards on 4chan
Repeating the most important part. Every blue board I've been on tends to look the other way with regards to NSFW so long as there aren't threads created just to dump porn. /mlp/ doesn't even get that, for reasons unknown.
>>641436
I really don't think /d/ is going to like an influx of pony any more than /b/ would. Besides it would be worse than futa at driving niche stuff off the board. /d/ would just become the pony porn board.

I'd really like to get a word from the mod on that. That would solve the remaining issues. /mlp/, while still clamped down on a lot of things, would loosen somewhat from what it is right now at this moment, and would easily give people a place where all the things they can't post can go -- without moot having to have pony porn, anthro, clop, roleplaying and so on, on his site.

>>640332 (OP)
I knew this was coming. Honestly I have no fucking idea where to go from here. Reddit? Fuck that circlejerk. EQD? Ha.
/mlp was a unique place that we all helped to create. It sounds stupid as hell but it felt like a safe place where I could say shit without worrying about what some stupid fucking piece of shit might find what I say NSFW. No one on /mlp can feel safe ever again.
A ton of what is now widespread parts of the fandom started on our board. What you are doing is putting an end to innovation. Is flutterape played out? Sure, but it was funny as shit when it started and your policies would never let that start in the first place. Think about what AiE started out as, rainbro helping out anon with strong sexual overtones. NOPE, gotta put an end to that! Fluffy ponies have spawned some great art I guess, kind of streching on this point I guess but I have never been much of a guro fan. As for Milky, while def not sfw, it is the newest part of some yet unformed part of OUR fanbase. Who knows what it could become.
Art in and of itself is never going to be totally SFW, and anything new (at least from 4chan) needs freedom to expand.
The reason people are upset (and I will not even say it is a majority that are mad at you), is that you are like a shitty boyfriend that has suddenly taken an interest in the paintings we have been working at for years. Sure you have technically been here all along, but GOD damn that does not mean we want you to shit all over my work.
If you keep this up you will have nothing but a dead board.
It is withing the realm of possibility you will see the error of your ways, but I dont think it is likely. Shitty boyfriends never do.
So here is my rational, thought out response to your outreach.
FUCK YOU, YOU CRUSTY CUM INFECTED PIECE OF SHIT.
I'm out.
(except for AiE, but I can use pastebin for that I guess, and if you start b&ing that shit, all I can say is I will find you. And I wont be alone.)

Seriously. Remember back in 2011? He was already going "pony go here: ponychan.net". A good chunk of those imageboards were made to have a SFW PLACE to talk about pony, OUT OF 4chan. And the reason we were sticking to /co/ was because it was freaking 4chan.

How hard it is to Moot to not get that.
>>
>>641513
No, the problem is your stupid misconception that there must be a place on 4chan for everything.

It's clunky, you have to do modulus nonsense if you want anything but a d10, and if you want multiple rolls to cause the numbers to be weighted toward the middle you need multiple posts. As it is, the threads that I've participated in that use it have had to have the DM use an offsite system. The rolls system being implemented on /mlp/ would be handy.

It's probably been answered in this thread already, but in the off-chance that it hasn't can I ask why rule 8 (specifically the one allowing avatarfags) still exists? As far as I'm aware the rule was implemented for the sole purpose of having the /b/read move to /mlp/, and considering how well THAT worked the rule only encourages shitposters who take advantage of the fact that avatarfagging is considered a faux pas on /mlp/.

YES. HELLO.

I made a thread earlier today called "Ponies wearing clothes!" with pic related as the OP pic.

No NSFW content was posted.

The thread was deleted.

Why?

We're not mad because porn isn't allowed - at least those of us who aren't completely braindead dickheads - we are mad because SFW content suitable for Sesame Street is being deleted for no reason.

THIS MUST STOP. Thank you for your time.

Human men in video games don't have to be directly involved with NSFW content.

Then what's the point of having porn at all if technically everything does not directly involve NSFW content?

The argument is basically just "I don't understand why people like it, because I don't therefor it's wrong"

Why are you giving into their requests for the right to post pony porn on 4chan at all?

You said /mlp/ is going to be SFW no matter what, but now all the sudden you are giving into the complaints that "WAAHHH I CAN POST MY PONY PORN ON 4CHAN :(((".

Why can't The people of /mlp/ be expected to just go off-site for their porn, to other sites where it is more concentrated, as I am pretty sure we are EXPECTED to as of right now?

I'm not mad about the porn, but dissapointed that you are caving to the demands of those you already explained can't post that material in the OP.

The problem is that all manner of pornography is allowed on 4chan, from the most mundane vanilla porn to the mouse vile and disgusting fetishes you can imagine.

Only two types of porn are banned on 4chan. Child pornography and ponies. This presents a problem because all other furry porn is allowed on /b/, but as soon as MLP is involved, it suddenly gets lumped in with kiddie porn.

I've always held that this is moot's website and he can do with it what he sees fit, but the current rules are untenable (with regard to pony porn).

Wrong. Child porn is banned because of its illegality. In the eyes of the law, drawn child porn is just as illegal as photographs.

Therefore, posting drawn child porn is illegal and posting it on 4chan is against the rules.

Are you people serious.

The board will die because the porn culture, which generated NSFW content, is being kicked in its ass on a blue board? Really? If you're so concerned about your creativity being imposed upon, why not take a trip down to fchan and start a ponyfucking group?

> but moot said we could have a board to be creative

Moot is an autistic asshole who takes no responsibility for his decisions and creates boards on a whim because it's easier than hiring adequate numbers of moderators and janitors.

His managerial acumen is canv.as and that idiot scribble toy for iOS. Despite personal charisma he is dead meat as entrepreneurs go and he knows it. This is literally the only kingdom he'll ever have and he guards it like a banana republic dictator.

He detests Western content and will continue to treat you like shit and afterthoughts because eventually you'll leave and he can go back to /a/ and /v/, the only boards he cares about.

The mod replying in this thread isn't to blame. He's doing the best damage control he can.

My advice is to do whatever the fuck you want since Moot doesn't care what you think either.
>>
You know what. If /mlp/ needs to become NSFW for things to return back to normal, then I'm all for it. I'll just manually change the board color back to blue and things will be all peachy! Right now, we're Ponychan's twin brother and we hate Reddonychan cancer. Just make all the nazi moderation go away please.

What's wrong with driving the objectionable content to another site by maintaining the present standards?

I understand this might drive away some content creators, but if we all know where they are then so what?

I will state here that I don't believe this board is going to die if this happens not do I believe that the content creators that leave are undeserving of having a place of their own.

>It's not an opportunity to turn the board into what YOU want, you self-centered asswagon.
>Waaah, stop having different opinions!
Clearly the correct response is to give in to the people who have been ignoring both the rules and the moderators since the board was created.

>and did a damn good job of keeping the faggots at bay
Yes, because all the 24/7 threads about horse rape and self-induced schizophrenia weren't faggotry at all.

Reading the thread, it seems that the main problem isn't getting the actual content of anything, like Tulpas, or Satyrs, or porn. Everybody knows they can get that stuff somewhere else. It's about whom we're all sharing the content _with_. If we split the board so that some go to mlpchan, some stay on /mlp/, some go to manechan, and others go elsewhere or whatever, then we just wouldn't be the big, dysfunctional family we have always been. We don't just want to fap or create imaginary friends, we want to do it with our friends. And that just doesn't seem like it could happen if the board splits into different directions.

After all, friendship is magic.

If it's drawn, it's not child porn. If it's child models, it's not allowed you fucking moron.

That places MLP porn in the most unique category on 4chan. Not illegal, but nowhere to post it. Not even furry porn is treated like this.

If we can get something that will:

A. Lower the amount of rebellious ban evaders.

I don't know what you're trying to say.
Content creators who want to make any NSFW will have to move anyway, so why would they take the effort to keep posting half their content to /mlp/ for you? SFW only content creators lose the SFW contributions and critiques of the NSFW producing creators, so will likely follow (which has the added benefit to them of not having to deal with schizophrenic moderation).

I understand the feel, the texture, and the style of this place will change somewhat. I don't think it will be a negative.

I can still hit up mlpchan when I'm in the mood for raunchy and come back here when I want a more mature but not over the top experience.

This whole problem with NSFW content kind of reminds me of the question:

Why exactly is there not a furry bored?

I'm sure people don't want to see that shit on /b/ all the time just like other kinds of porn that can be found in other boreds.

I know there used to be one which had the lifespan of about a day and then everyone in it was permaband including trolls that were trying to piss of furries. Exactly why I don't know...

If there could be a MLP NSFW bored and a Furry bored I feel it will clear a lot of bullshit up which could benefit the website a bit more.

Also add in a bit more of Adsense payment.

You can make the argument of "well moot doesn't like that stuff" but moot also didn't like /news/ because of the racism. He then compromised by making /pol/.

I guess in the long run it is up to moot however... I feel there is a right answer to all of this.

Hey, idea here: How about a porn general?

All porn related images, stories, and other nsfw stuff would only be allowed there, with all images being spoilered. If possible, do that thing with stickies where only one reply is shown to the thread instead of five on the board, have the subject of the general be very clear on its subject, and make sure the OP picture is always incredibly sfw. If the picture in the OP is suggestive then delete it. Then mod the fuck out of the board. Near instant bans for people who forget to spoiler and don't delete their post in the pron general and instant bans to anyone who posts anything nsfw outside the general. And make every single one of these bans public, with the whole (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST) and everything. However, at the end of the first handful of porn generals you should post, as a mod, "good job at behaving in this thread" or something along those lines. Finally, make a post in the sticky or adjust the rules to allow for the existence of the general.

Continued in a moment.

>>640332 (OP)

You want to know something?
When moot made /mlp/ he left us without a lot of rule enforcement because he SPECIFICALLY stated he wanted us to develop our own culture, and see how we developed our own board.

You say you want to listen to us, but you come in and upheave our culture by suddenly enforcing ancient, ignored rules.

The nor/mlp/erson culture is dead.

I mean seriously, it isn't that hard to find solutions. Something of late has been that NSFW is allowed if spoilered, why not just enforce that?

>original NSFW content

What, you mean like those godawful "pantsu" generals? Fuck those. And I know about smut-Anon's series, and those aren't exactly Michaelangelo.

Where's all this amazing NSFW "art" we're missing out on? I'll admit I enjoy a well-done humanized nude from Joseco or Doxy, but they usually make SFW edits okay to post on /mlp/ and... wait, you're talking about NSFW produced BY /mlp/, uh... so... shitty horse porn? Yeah, our artists produce tons of that.

I'll admit some of the Milky pictures were pretty good, but if we lost some artists because we got rid of the fucking Milky Way/crotchtits Generals, well then that must mean horse udders were the only fucking thing they drew anyway! Otherwise, they'd have other content to post, right?

To all the people adversely affected by a just and logical enforcement of the board's rules, I say:

GOOD MOTHERFUCKING RIDDANCE.

If you're going to use the capitalist argument, then take the capitalist solution. Take your money/ad revenue elsewhere.

If you're not willing to walk away, then /mlp/ is still worthwhile to you, even under the new regime. And moot has you by the balls.

This whole situation is bull shit. Up until now everything was more or less fine, the porn was contained usually in the gay thread and the regular porn thread. Half of the time spoilered or if not you can simply minimize it.
I didn't see anyone throwing a bitch fit until SUMMER started.
Everyone was fine and happy and the janitor would more or less clean up the shit posting or derailing in threads. If anything the dubs are a bigger risk to the board and I don't even care about those.

Also I don't understand the hate for then generals, I never was into fluffy threads or tulpa general but the only thing they EVER did wrong was screw up a get. Other than that they stayed in their spot and didn't bother anyone.
>>
>>641787
This is not and has never been a good argument. 4chan is full of things that moot doesn't like.

Hell, the concurrent existence of /pol/ and /lgbt/ alone shows that this website by definition can't be something that anyone likes all the parts of.

A mod or janitor just deleted a completely worksafe thread on /mlp/.

Best way to see if who, and how large, the primary user base of the board is: let the people who object pick somewhere else and flourish. It's happened before, and then moot can take this as evidence that a mistake was made and change.

Please forgive my late reply. Here's the situation right now.:

Things that are no longer allowed:
● Milky Way
● Fluffy ponies
● Ass-worship

Things I will compromise on:
● FlutterRape threads- NWS text allowed, NO NWS IMAGES.

Other things that have been asked about:
● AiE = ALLOWED
● Tempo threads (music) = ALLOWED
● Other non-general NWS Text & Stories = ALLOWED
● CYOAs & Structured (D&D style) roleplay = ALLOWED
● Equestria Girls = ALLOWED
● Non-English = ALLOWED
(this list is not exhaustive, of course)

I will instruct the janitors to relax with respect to off-topic replies, but not off-topic threads. Similarly, janitors should not be deleting 'racy' or 'suggestive' images, but merely those images which have nudity or are sexually explicit. Don't expect things to change instantly; it will take a while to disseminate this information to the janitors, and some inappropriate deletions may occur in the meantime.

I think this has been a very productive discussion so far, and I have been very impressed with the response of the /mlp/ community.

No doubt this post will cause another thousand replies, though I fear I am not going to be able to keep up. Should that happen, please use mods@4chan.org.

The benefits of this would be enormous. 1) We get porn and we like porn. 2) All of the porn is in one place, making it easy to moderate. 3) There is a single place to direct people who like nsfw. 4) Anyone who whines about the board being blue can be directed to the sticky or the rules. 5) All the people who make nsfw content along with sfw content will return and OC will start to be churned out again. 6) A general with a clear subject is easy to filter out and/or ignore at work (why the hell are you browsing 4chan at work anyway?).

Why would anyone post in /s4s/?
Why is it even still a board? It was supposed to be an april fool's joke,

Also, since when is 4 chan at all sfw?

It's our damned containment board. We want to talk about ponies and things loosely related if not related to all about ponies.
It's the only place WE ARE ALLOWED to use pony images. It's the only place that anything that even resembles a pony is accepted and we got along fine before the new scruffy and all the summer fags fucked it up.
Are we really going to let this "it offends me so other people can't do it" soccer mom mentality rule?

And you know that we'll just spam the fuck out of all the boards as rebellion if it doesn't resolve itself.

I really wish to know how we can salvage the Milky Way threads. They've never flat out posted NSFW material. Links, but that's it. I haven't even seen the CURVE of a tit, lately, let alone a nipple. It's just the face of an OC.

And Satyrs. They really aren't anthro, and the stories contain more about ponies than you know.

Considering a Satyr thread just 404d again, I'd say no.

So:
Things that are no longer allowed:
- Milky Way (currently at mlpchan)
- Fluffy ponies (currently at mlpchan)
- Ass-worship (currently at mlpchan)
- Tulpa (wasn't brought up by the mod, but I would imagine counts as a non-pony thread for arguments sake?) (currently at mlpchan)

So:
- Anthro is a "no" - fully human is okay
- NSFW is a "no" - nsfw TEXT is okay
- Casual roleplay is "no" - structured roleplay is okay
- Threads themselves must be pony related - individual off-topic posts are okay

The people in that thread will be willing to keep all nsfw stuff linked in from and external source and all more questionable stories linked in as well.

The thread though has become a fairly big hub for a lot of artists for a lot of stuff and people there are good about keeping things safe.

Compromise with this and you have a deal the majority can perfectly agree with.

7) Once people start remembering to check a single box and realize the mods will crack down on them publicly if they forget, near constant moderation won't be needed anymore. If someone forgets to spoiler they will either delete their post and apologized or get reported. 8) For the first few threads, and maybe even every once in a while after that, posting a positive remark at the end will help people remember that a mod is present and posters will behave accordingly.

To my understanding, the fact we've been going under moderated for so long has not disturbed the fine balance and order of the universe, as it seems some have been making it out to be.

I also would like to ask why we're catering to people that would browse at work. How dense does someone have to be to actually waste their time browsing 4chan at work? I also doubt the vast majority of people that are on constantly posting on 4chan to be at work.

So, can we get a word on Satyrs?
It can be argued that it's taking the greek mythological basis of the show and applying it to another aspect, rather than Anthro (after all, we also have minotaurs, which have human torsos).

And even then, there's no real reason for anthro (that's still relevant) to be flat out forbidden.
Especially with the near release of Equestria Girls occurring.

There was discussion back here requesting that the dice roll system be added to /mlp/.

I'm not a brony and I don't go to /mlp/, that being said consider the fallowing.

Why not make /mlp/ a NSFW board? We all know that a lot of bronies are horse fuckers anyway, the MLP porn is a large part of the fandom. It's when furries try to say the pron isn't what the fandom is ALL about, if you think /mlp/ should be work safe you're in denial. Now, I'm not saying all broines like pony porn, but a very large number of you do. So, why deny such a large part of the brony fandom from THE brony board? To do so would be asinine.

Now you might be thinking "Anon, you're not a brony, so why do you care." It's because not only do bronies need their containment board, non bronies need it too. With out it, you sick fucks would plaster ponies in every thread you could, and doing so would just piss people off and derail threads. So mods, keep the bronies happy, let them have their porn if they want it, it is their board after all.

i haven't read this thread yet, so please link me if this is answered.

why is it out of the question to make a nsfw /mlp/ board? i don't even want it for porn, i can find that easy enough anywhere else, what i want a nsfw board is just for the FAR more lax moderation opposed to the heavy handed mass deletion that has been going on for the last week at least.

i'm asking this because i believe a significant portion, if not a majority, of us went there for the more non safe for work topics, not porn, just topics... the problem is those topics attract the morons who would post porn, and till recently, it was dealt with by just deletion of the respective posts not entire threads.

like i said, i could care less about porn, i and many others would honestly like an mlp just for more lax moderation.

with that said, im going to go through this whole 1425 post (as of now) thread.

So we're going to bring the morality of human beings into question finally over porn for a cartoon? This is ridiculously absurd.

>There really are no limits to our perversion. No bounds whatsoever. Absolutely nothing is sacred. Absolutely nothing is too low. We must corrupt, desecrate, defame, pervert and ruin everything we touch, like a law of nature. We take pride in it.

there is no discussion about it, the mod just ignores these questions or responds with a "/mlp/ will remain worksafe"

one clarification, though, that he makes later on. NSFW text is completely acceptable, it is only NSFW photos and "fetish" threads that aren't. There still is an arbitrary distinction for wether something is a fetish thread or not, but it's a step in the right direction.

Good.

They're nothing but a handful of self-admitted animal/child-abusers and sociopaths, and not even tangentially-related to the show.

It was mildly amusing when it was a dumb little joke on /co/'s pony generals, but it's gone way too far, and turned into quite possibly the worst thing this board has ever produced - not just for the torture-porn and thinly-veiled pedophilia, but for how unoriginal and unwilling to adapt or change it's become. It's not even shocking anymore - it's just stupid.

They should have been kicked off the board when the /b/reads got axed; they have their own booru, they can circlejerk there all they want. They don't belong on /mlp/.

So, thank you for finally taking care of this.

You have to allow Fluffy Ponies. Most of us understand that if NWS content is posted, janitors will go apeshit and delete everything. Fundamentally, there is NOTHING wrong with Fluffy Ponies.

>it was about gore long before that

As someone from MLPG, I can say, no it wasn't. It started as slapstick stories about a fuzzy little animal that somehow always managed to get itself killed in unlikely or bizarre ways - there weren't 10-post stories detailing what its organs looked like or how it screamed as it bled out - that all started with you guys.

The problem was that /mlp/ didn't realize it was supposed to be a joke, and started taking as gospel things that were meant to be one-off wisecracks - like fluffy ponies eating spaghetti.

So, well-done on thoroughly beating this into the ground.

No, they won't. /mlp/ has become /s4s/ with ponies.

If something is not done immediately, the board is permanently and irrevocably fucked. The mod invited and encouraged the shitposters and now they have a stranglehold on the board.

I dunno man. I just don't see a reason why mlp has to be swf. What's the point? Just turn it into a nsfw board and let people browse at their own risk. Instead of just leaving things peacefully as they were now it's a shirt storm of porn dumps. The only porn i've seen on mlp before was the generals dedicated to it and a few images here and there. Now it's porn dumps everywhere and people yelling "LOST MUH JOB".

So the mods are already in a poor from my perspective. They fucked up the board pretty good.

Another MLPG guy here, while it fucking exploded into all the worst parts when /mlp/ happened, there was still stuff in the general beforehand that were heading in the stupid abuse direction
I remember one story about fluffy ponies multiplying when you toss them in a woodchipper that happened in the general; though I just looked it up and it looks like that was in a thread just the day after the creation of /mlp/. I'd say that's still early enough to count as not being /mlp/'s fault, since only people who'd been following MLPG should really have known about it at that point.

I have to ask... can we at least have Satyr Threads back?

The thing is, Satyrs aren't supposed to be furry. They're the magical lovespawn between a pony and human. They're wish fulfillment for the people that'd want to have a family with their waifu. Now, I have to make it clear that I'm not heavily involved in those threads, but from what I have seen, and this is just me, Satyr threads have been pretty SFW from what I've witnessed. I'm sure some of its gotten kinda racy, sure, but I doubt it crossed into straight-up NSFW territory.

The problem with your logic is that MLPG realized how ridiculous all of that was, and didn't take it seriously - they knew how fucked-up some of those stories could get, and they even called themselves on it;. FPG has no such self-awareness.

If it had stayed in MLPG, it would have eventually died, when it was no longer considered humorous or shocking - MLPG can be a bunch of assholes, but even they eventually stop telling a joke when it stops being funny.

And it stopped being funny a long time ago.

When it got its own general, it was doomed - they're still using the same memes/in-jokes/punchlines they half-appropriated from MLPG's scraps, nearly a year after the fact.

>Sexually explicit threads aren't allowed

There are a lot of threads that are sexually explicit, like bondage, ass-worship, and whatever else, that's completely coated in a sexual charge.

What about threads that can be a fetish, but other people might just find cute, or a neat concept?

Like the massive-pony threads, where we'd have images of ponies overlooking large cities. I personally thought they looked pretty cool, even though I don't have that fetish.

Because art is generated due to a fetish, does that mean it's going to be deleted even though others could find it cute, or cool?

>>642281
>>642248
Oh, wait, it just popped up in the archive. The Satyr thread, right?
http://archive.heinessen.com/mlp/thread/S11361664

Wish the mod'd give us a definitive answer on that one; the previous sticky spoke against them, but the new one fails to mention it entirely despite it being one of the big deletions.

And don't say "they said it was banned in the past so it's still banned", because that applied to a bunch that were being deleted have already been OK'd this thread. We need clarification.
>>

Why is this happening? There has to be somewhere for people to post clop and NSFW ponies, you can't just stop it or make them go elsewhere. And according to the rules "This [mlp]is the destination for all My Little Pony related content on 4chan." so it's not like you can post NSFW pony on any other boards.
Imo it's not like there is need for /mlp/ or most any board on this site to be labeled SFW; this whole site is associated with NSFW content whether boards are labeled NSFW or not.

I think a lot of us here just miss the old /mlp/. The only change I see here is simple, and I think it would be welcomed. a simple rule can be implemented; NSFW images/ content are to be spoilered, if they are not then the post/ poster will be dealt with.

>>642314
I think due to lack of content (You really can't get more niche), nothing sexual short of greentext stories are/were posted in those threads.

It was really just like any picture thread, but with ponies of vastly different sizes.
Actually, it's not uncommon to see images from those threads in other threads were they're just dumping pictures of [x] pony.

Also, I'm not going to spend all night combing through the archives for what I personally think are the most "extreme" stories. I don't think you can even objectively quantify that; different people have different triggers. I picked those because they were from one of the FIRST fluffy threads ever; only a few days after Mixermike "created" them. There was no golden, innocent age of fluffy ponies that /mlp/ ruined.

no we don't. A few do. but not all. and that's the worst part of it all. Yes we're not behind that shitty revolution crap, but no we're not happy where we are.

Fuck, I can't stand being on mlpchan, the place creeps me out. First thread we had there someone came to 'greet' us saying they were with the /b/reads and 'understood' how we felt.

I cannot wash the disgust off from that comparison.

Again, let me reiterate: the "just go somewhere else argument" has always been retarded. It can be used to justify any change in the rules, no matter how much the change makes sense.

Delete /v/ and ban video games from 4chan. What are you complaining about? There are plenty of video game boards on the internet! Just go to one of them!

Repeat for literally fucking anything that is posted on this site.

Call it what you want, this is all just a communities reaction to a sudden change (not for the better) in how they are being treated. And disrespect towards the perceived enemy (janitors, mods) is to be expected, and I think it should be allowed seeing as it brings attention to the problem.

A thousand men are mad as one man tries to set new unwelcome rules, are we to say it is the peoples fault or the rule-makers fault?
>>
>>642440
Are yall talking about Mwike? I am fairly sure he didn't take Mixermike's name. Plus if you are using him as a standard that guy quit posting months ago.
>>
Mainly to think here:

Are you guys going to get used to these new rules that the mod enforced? They were not taking it seriously back when /mlp/ was made, but it seems like they are doing their job now. I think it's because of the recent Faust visit? Or something else.

To me personally, I think it might be okay. I think the mod is trying to do this because he or moot, does not want to be embarrassed of what the board is MAINLY about.
>>
>>642448
Mwike actually just posted 2 new comics
>>
>>642446
This seems to be the last loose end, but I think the mod left.

I'm all for them. If we have to deal with EQG, we can let them have their thread. It's not like there was much if any NSFW art in there anyway.
>>
>>641369
god is not dead... for he right here in front of our eyes!
>>
>>642433
it didn't result in 5 different threads. When did that even ever happen? I made one once and noticed right away someone had made one at the same time so I deleted it myself. During a janitor storm. The other one 404'd within the next two minutes anyway.

And we only got derailed by those samgefagging sagers whining about "thing I don't like existing".

But when the topic op was kept tame then people treated it better. And a lot of people felt better seeing a bit of normalcy through the whole fucking ordeal because they can't control their panic.

that's why i kept reposting the thread whenever I could whenever it was deleted.
>>
>>642447
The thing we're all asking is: what is the fucking point of these rules? Honestly, what does this all accomplish, other than pissing people off and removing a huge part of the board's culture?
>>
>>642447
The mods are at fault, not because they are cleaning up the board now but because they didn't do it sooner.
They didn't give a shit about us and let the majority become spoiled brats that do what they want and now are trying to make us behave.
Pretty fucking late.

Look I'm okay with most threads getting rid of, but I think story threads and most SFW threads should stay

Should Grimdark threads be banned for heavy violence and blood?
>>
>>642459
When I talk about the board culture, I'm talking mostly about threads that I don't even like. But regardless of my personal opinions, they're the things that kept /mlp/ going. With the new rules, we're just a ponychan satellite.
>>
Okay, I read like half of this thread, so excuse me if this has been said before:

You're kind-of arbitrarily allowing certain fetish threads (Flutterrape [and don't tell me it's not fetish/sexual - just because she doesn't win doesn't mean it isn't sexual]), remaining silent on some (massive pony/fat pony), and outright banning others (Milky, AWG, and Fluffy pony [if you can consider that shit a fetish]).

Why not just do with ALL of those what you did with Flutterrape? I frequented AWG and Milky, and they were typically pretty good about posting porn off-site and linking to it, which we've established is OK.
>>
>>642458
It just mlpg and /b/read when the board was created, I'd guess the other threads about the show were mostly created by people from mlpg, at least at first.

>>642455
Good point, but that kind of content [NSFW etc.] was to be expected from day 1, R34 applies to everything in every fandom. So why not just label it NSFW from the beginning and let people browse elsewhere when at work.

>>642466
It may not be appropriate, but I wanted to point out that it brings attention to the problem (as mentioned before). It's better that people who don't know find out than continue unknowing
>>
>>642469
>>642470
Echoing this. I don't like fluffy threads, but they exist because there's an overlap between people who post on /mlp/ and people who like them. And there's only one at a time. Deleting them just seems like pointlessly picking a fight.
>>
>>642478
I don't know, not necessarily.
>>642480
As soon as it is very off topic and clear that people are lying, then yes. Neither thread needs to be going 24/7. Also, Astral Projection actually talked about their topic, unlike tulpafags.
>>
>>642481
>So why not just label it NSFW from the beginning and let people browse elsewhere when at work.
Because you can't control that.
Really, people shouldn't be browsing 4chan while at work but quite a few people still do.

>>
>>642470
His reasoning was that AWG, MW and FP all attracted pornographic posts.

Flutter rape was always a text first thread, and also meant to be more comedic than anything else.

As for fat pony, I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed, provided nothing explicit is posted.

Same goes for massive pony.
Massive pony actually had virtually no explicit pictures.
Plenty of suggestive pictures, but not explicit.
>>
>>642449
I reckon it can work on two conditions
1. The rules are kept clear and deletions are kept in line with them
There's been a lot done on this front today, but there's still a bit of fuzziness on a few fronts that we've yet to have moderator word on.
2. The rules are actually enforced
If in a week or two this sudden surge ends and the moderation drops down to the same level it's been for the past year or two, no-one's going to respect a rule that's been ignored for a year, applied violently for a few weeks and then forgotten about again.

"No generals whose entire purpose is sexual" is easy enough if a general that breaks the rules is clearly dealt with at inception so it doesn't build up steam.
It'll be troublesome with the established ones like those that got hit this crackdown, because they've got established routines and a number of people who have invested in them.

And "no posting explicit images onboard" was already half-enforced with methods of working with it established, so I'm sure people will be able to follow that.

Well I guess we've got confirmation now that there's a janitor deleting things who is still behind the ball: a Tempo thread's just been deleted, and that one's been specifically OK'd by the mod.

Something liek 60% of all the threads on all SFW boards have the potential to attract pornographic posts. This isn't really a valid argument.

Ass threads, while obviously sexual in nature, are not rule breaking in and of themselves. Obviously a pornographic post breaks the rules and should be deleted, no argument from me there.

You are technically right about the ass thing, but the mod thinks it's too big a risk.

I was being ironic about the idea that there was a clear and objectively definable difference between "heavily bloody pictures" and "gore on Fluffy Pone level".

And "not safe for work" is subjective depending on where a particular person works, what mood their boss is in that day and so on.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Tulpa. Their status needs to be clarified also.

I'd actually think they're closer to in the clear though. Ya Es Hora got in because /int/ wants nothing to do with that. Tulpa might get in on the same logic only with /x/.

>And "not safe for work" is subjective depending on where a particular person works, what mood their boss is in that day and so on.
Guess you'd have to make some point of middle line there, however you would do that. Possibly is somewhere online something like already.
This is 4chan, though, so forbidding things that are definitely over the middle line should be enough, i.e. explicit pornography and gore.
>>
>>642535
Yeah, I don't see any reason why Satyr threads shouldn't be allowed as long as porn is kept out. They're basically just specialized AiE threads.

I do hope the corrupted by the Alicorn Amulet Scruffy decides to allow Satyr & Tulpa threads. Never posted in either, but they (Like other generals) stayed to their own thread.

It's not about personal preference; I never liked that shit either.

The problem is that there is one place for them on 4chan, and that's /mlp/. Porn and gore images aren't allowed, and that's perfectly fine, but the remainder of the fluffy pony threads literally have nowhere else to go on this site.

And 'use a different site' is an invalid solution, as has been stated.

It would be one thing if Fluffy Pone could be allowed on /b/ but I don't think that will be happening. Neither is making /mlp/ brown, which would solve everything but I see why they don't want to do that.
>>
>>642584
Why don't they?

In fact what reason do they have for not just making mlp a nsfw board and be done with it? Did they ever explain?
>>
>>642584
>I see why they don't want to do that.
Because moot doesn't want to and his word goes?
>>
>>642588
Because Moot doesn't want to make it nsfw and that's basically it. If you want nsfw go to /s4s/ or MLPchan.
>>
>>642596
Are ponies allowed on /s4s/?
>>
>>642588
>>642590
Because it's a board about My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Believe it or not for some people that is reason enough.

>Because moot doesn't want to and his word goes?
If he won't budge on it it's not happening, you gotta deal with it if you like it or not.

It is the easiest way out, though.
Just treat it as the containment board that it is, make it brown, basically isolate it from the rest of the site and be done with it.

Though the cleaning up action gave me some hope for the board, I did like this board quite a bit once.
>>
>>642597
There is no rules against it because /s4s/ has no rules, so year. I never understood why the porn threads didn't just move to /s4s/.

And Milky used to have a place on /mlp/, what's your point?
>>
>>642615
Milky never had a place on /mlp/ it was just fetish fuel general.
>>
>>641855
First, thank you for being so willing to compromise. The list you provided looks somewhat like standard /mlp/.
Second, does "pony related" mean SHOW related, or fandom related? Would, for example, a reaction image thread or similarly theme-oriented fan artwork thread be deleted?
Third, I'm going to argue in favor of allowing the Milky Way general. They've got a large following, they specifically ask posters to not post NSFW images, and the text they post is more tame than Flutterrape, at the very least. I don't see how they're violating any rules, unless you're not allowing them because they're not directly show-related, which is referenced in my second question.
Fourth, "furry" refers to anthropomorphized animals, not humans with animal characteristics. As such, while I agree with the ban on anthro (frankly it's not that popular anyway) I don't believe the satyr threads should be banned. Half-human/half-pony does not make furry. In the board sticky the human-pony chart of Applejack is referenced, and the "stage three" picture, in which Applejack has hooves, pony ears, pony skin color, and a snout, is disallowed. But satyr relies on all characteristics, except the legs and tail, being human. 4, which IS allowed (but "pushing it," as the sticky says) is closer to anthro than satyr is. At the very least, you could allow the satyr stories if not the images.

Thank you for your consideration.
>>
>>642621
>Half-human/half-pony does not make furry.
Yes it does. I'm afraid you are just of poor comprehension of the term. It's banned, deal with it.
>>
>>642620
It did a lot more than that.
>>
>>642629
"The furry fandom is a subculture interested in fictional anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics."
-Wikipedia

Something being "furry" relies on it being an animal with human characteristics, and being primarily an animal. At least 75% so. Satyrs are humans with animal characteristics, and are primarily human. Or possibly 50/50, based on whether you're gauging by importance of features or body volume. In any case, satyrs are not something which could be called "furry" based on the word's definition. If you disagree, please present your reasoning.

Does this mean that rule 15 will be revoked for pornographic images? Let them on /d/ or something?

But it is fandom related, its a facet of our fandom, you not liking it dosen't change that. Hell they might not even come back anyway.
>>
>>642708
No.
It isn't pony related, and that's not a fucking opinion. From what I've seen, some of the tulpas there aren't even ponies.

>>642710
Though I agree that tulpa should go, you're missing the point.
Milky way and fluffy were banned because they are a magnet for NSFW. The main reason people want tulpa to go is because it's not pony related. It doesn't really break any other rules, so that's the only reason I can see at least.

>>642713
But fandom related things have to spawn from something to do with the show. Just because some of the tulpas on there happen to be pone doesn't mean the entire general is pone related.
It's like if, in the drawthread, a bunch of people started drawing Adventure Time characters and discussing those drawings.

It's sad that NSFW is not allowed.
It would be a great defense against flood of newfags comimg to /mlp/ after Faust's visit.

>It's like if, in the drawthread, a bunch of people started drawing Adventure Time characters and discussing those drawings.
I didnt make this very clear, I meant that if people started drawing AT stuff, but because there was still pone being drawn in the general, it was still a pone related general, even though a lot of it was off topic

Okay, maybe I'm not familiar enough with the tulpa general to jump to conclusions, I had always assumed it was just a bunch of random tulpas in general, with pone thrown in because it wasn't allowed on /x/ so might as well.

Keep up with the thread nigga. The reason we're having this thread is because certain rules need to be addressed, that is not one of them.

>>
>>640332 (OP)

Thank you SO MUCH for this thread mod. For a while I honestly thought we were all going to be shoved under a rug.

My biggest concern was definitely that even NSFW text and suggestive images were getting deleted instead of just NSFW images. I'm totally fine with the porn generals having to go, I never went to them anyways, but making NSFW text against the rules is just silly, then there would be no point to the board.

Also, as another guy said earlier, the fact that moot has put clop on the same level as CP really is ridiculous, and something should be done about it. I don't know what, and I know a lot of people think that us horsefuckers are just entitled cunts, but it's just not fair that everyone else gets every type of porn imaginable and we don't get any.

I look forward to hopefully more improvements to the MLP community on 4chan.

> Those schizophrenic RPers do not contribute to the board, and all they do is RP in their circlejerk thread, which is non-pony related

You raise a few interesting points, so I'll address them one by one:
> schizophrenic
Psychosis/schizophrenia has nothing to do with it. It may make certain hallucinations and thought patterns more likely, but it doesn't have much to do with tulpas than other mental disorders do. If you really must really put a tulpa into a disorder box, the closest would be some rare dissociative disorder (DDNOS), as long as the tulpa is developed enough and not just a simple imaginary friend.
> RPers
While I do think some people pretend to have a tulpa, I do believe most people at least attempt to make a genuine one. What is that like? You don't feel like you control it at all, its behavior/actions are outside your control, but you can of course ignore it. It's not RP on any conscious level. It's hard to say if it's RP on a subconscious level if that even makes sense, because a real tulpa can withhold plenty of information from you.

Nevertheless, I do think the threads are full of circlejerking which their IRC channel was meant to contain. Aside from the circlejerking, there's also plenty of relevant discussion.
>>
>>642803
>suggestions/proposal
Where?
>>
>>642803
Continued.

Is it part of board culture? It is by now, the threads have gone for over a year now and its rather popular. I've only seen some 30+ threads myself throughout the year. Given outside of /mlp/ surveys (from 3rd party tulpa sites, the subreddit and a few other places), there is a very large fraction of pony tulpas by now, ranging in high hundreds of people.

My opinion on this? I don't even go to /mlp/ or participate in tulpa threads, I don't care too much. From my viewpoint, I think the tulpa threads could have easily belonged on boards such as /a/,/b/,/r9k/,/d/,/v/,/jp/,/tg/,/x/,/diy/,/sci/ and I've seen many users interested in them earlier the past year, but janitors on those boards considered it unrelated to the board and the threads never became a thing on those boards, despite that each of them had a sizable minority interested in the subject. As someone who doesn't care about MLP too much, I would probably find it fine if it wasn't advertised so much there as I wouldn't have to get so exasperated about seeing yet another person with a pony tulpa (in the tulpa communities outside 4chan). However, since it is practically a matter of board culture now, I would be inclined to say that /mlp/ should be allowed to have these threads, but then I would also wish these types of threads would be allowed on other boards too.

Third part in 2 minutes, posting delay.
>>
>>642811
Continued.

If that's too much to ask, I do think tulpas would currently belong either in /x/ or in /sci/, although neither of those boards like it very much, /x/ doesn't take it seriously or looks at it as something psychological, which it is, and thus is uninterested and /sci/ doesn't take it seriously because it doesn't like subjective things and philosophy. Tulpas are very hard to prove in an objective manner, but they can be self-proven in a subjective manner in the same way that one can know they're conscious and in a similar way that one can learn lucid dreaming. Contrary to popular claims, it's not something everyone will succeed at, but it's something most people have a chance at if they try. Given that it's mostly about self-experimentation, it may belong more in a board which deals in things like: meditation, lucid dreaming, drugs (psychedelics), tulpas. If moot would be willing to make such a board which is aimed at psychological self-experimentation, but isn't too stuck up about it, it'd be great. A psychology and philosophy board would be fine too as that's something /sci/ doesn't like too much despite it being welcome there, but that may be a bit too broad a subject.

Someone got a catchy name for such a board?

As a small personal side-note: I do find actually talking about such things instead of doing them a waste of time. Mostly why I never stuck too long in those threads after I found about it and instead just preferred to self-experiment by myself.

>>
>>642834

Okay, what about the drugs part? There are places where weed is legal and is used as currency.

>>642838

Aren't all horns somewhat phallic?
>>
>>642841
Nah, I seriously doubt cartoon weed is against the rules
>>642838
Would probably be judged on a case by case basis.
>>
>>642841
>Aren't all horns somewhat phallic?
I guess they kind of are.
>>
>>642815
Now that I think of it, hypnosis would also work on such a board, and various things like jungian active imagination and yoga-like practices and so on.

Also worth noting that there's some boards outside 4chan that attempted to theme themselves on such topics. Hypnosis ones sort of succeeded, tulpa ones succeeded in a non-anonymous manner (forums, subreddit). Attempts to make an anonymous BBS for tulpas seemingly failed despite it being attempted by at least 3 different people - /mlp/ tulpa general never moved there, and even now they chose to move to a MLP related site as opposed to those dedicated tulpa-chans. It seems like for people going to the /mlp/ tulpa generals, the MLP aspect is important enough that they would choose to go to a MLP-related board instead of going to a general purpose board (both being situated outside of 4chan now).

I too would like to see a bit of clarification on the Tulpa thing.

I would like to note that even if it is rather unrelated it isn't terribly disruptive and if you don't like them you can just close them, since the threads stick to themselves very tightly. Yes, I do realize it's moved to mlpchan.

Also, Mod, you are awesome for actually listening to everyone! Thanks for showing concern over the state of the board, I was beginning to worry it was going to go unanswered like so many boards do when they have troubles.

They should be. Those threads are for faggots who misuse the word "autism" and have an inferiority complex so they need to insult other people they don't know to feel better about themselves. I don't get what's so "funny" about making fun of random people who may have it worse than you.

They need to clarify that then. The "no nudity" rule here is stricter than YouTube's. I've done animation where the characters get naked, and it's still on YouTube after two years, because the rule is actually "no porn," not "no nudity."

Breasts are not pornographic in and of themselves. You can find them all over YouTube, just not in blatantly pornographic stuff.

They also still need to loose the "no anthro" rule. Talking ponies with tiny muzzles and freaky marshmallow feet are anthro. They're just closer to the "animal" end of things than Captain Amelia from Treasure Planet, but the characters from The Lion King are even closer. They're still anthro, though. They strike human poses and talk.
>>
>>643022
>Breasts are not pornographic in and of themselves.
Samefag here, but to continue that thought, no body part is. You can find both male and female genitals all over YouTube too, but only in things that are artistically significant, related to the practice of medicine, in home birth videos, and even in "how to" videos on sexual practices. Again, the rule is not "no nudity." It is "no porn."
>>
>>641855
>Similarly, janitors should not be deleting 'racy' or 'suggestive' images, but merely those images which have nudity or are sexually explicit.
I've never been in one of those "ass-worship" threads but, by your own guidelines, they should be permitted. They aren't technically sexually explicit (no genitals, just ass), but merely suggestive.
Besides, in the words of another anon: ponies are always naked.
>>
Before the purge, it was pretty obvious what was considered worksafe and what was considered NSFW.

The basic rule of thumb was, any text was allowed, and pics could be suggestive, but if they had the following: Visible genitalia such as dicks or pussies or assholes or tits, bodily fluids such as semen or piss or shit, sex toys such as dildos...then Scruffy would delete them. It wasn't that hard to figure out. Kissing and cuddling was fine, but I don't know what the deal is now.

Is the mod who started this thread going to come back? If he does, he should sticky this or make a new thread. I emailed them about the idea of an alternative, NSFW MLP board to fix the "no MLP porn anywhere on the site" issue.
>>
Hey.
I want to point out that the janitor is STILL DELETING THREADS THAT WERE FOLLOWING THE RULES.

New rule, then: only images from "The Best Night Ever," "Magic Duel" (Fluttershy's "dangerous mission outfit") and so on will be permitted. We can't have naked ponies! Their asses are pretty appealing even the way they're drawn in the show.

That scene in " Winter Wrap Up" when the bar on the machinery bit into Twilight's ass made my jaw drop.

However many it is, it won't have them forever. The mods (or Moot, if he's paying attention) might be wise to take a tip for any of the more astute regulars on /pol/. Crackdowns are always a bad idea, because they have to be maintained in perpetuity, and they can't be. When they are relaxed, the situation explodes into something even worse than what the crackdown was originally supposed to curtail.

>>
>>641855
>on the off chance my e-mail doesn't go...

First off, I do want to take a moment and thank you for being willing to listen and discuss things with us. It really is appreciated.

That being said, I'm asking you to reconsider the Milky Way threads being banned.

As others already argued in the discussion thread, while the concept of the Milky Way pony (altogether separate from Lauren Faust's Galaxy Girls project) is admittedly NSFW, in execution, it's treated more as a part of her that she deals with, and anything NSFW is just kind of coincidental.

The Milky threads have undergone upheaval before. Yes, the first ones were inherently NSFW as people were just hyped about Milky overall. Then the tumblr came to life and Milky grew as a character. There's appreciative NSFW here and there, but like the ruling handed down for Flutterape threads, we always kick the NSFW work offsite, and link to it. In fact, there was a janitor/mod where, via a public warn to a post, and a ban screen, we finally got clearance that if we took all of our NSFW content offsite, then we were allowed to continue existing.

Here's a link to the archived thread and the post showing the warning in question. (Heinessen doesn't archive images, but I'm sure if you ask for it, the image could be produced if wanted) http://archive.heinessen.com/mlp/thread/S6083210#p6095747

We took this very seriously, it happened about the 15th recorded Milky thread, and if you search, you'll see we made it to 60-70 recorded generals before the crackdown, and we consistently held to that ruling. Anyone who did got shouted down until the offending content got deleted.

And the Milk Bar has produced a lot of great content, most of it humorous. If you want us to go one step further and take NSFW story texts offsite as well, I'm sure we'd be happy to abide by that as well. We've shown we're willing to compromise and flex to continue to survive on /mlp/ and I ask you to give us one more fair chance.

Well we basically agree.
I won't lie and hide the fact I'm dual-boarding on mlpchan now.

I suggested earlier to all these people who said we ought to split /mlp/ into a sfw and a nsfw version, just to make mlpchan the official nsfw version since it's already set up and ready and moot will never, ever allow porn officially on his site. At least then there's a backup too for the next time things get insane in moderation on /mlp/.

moot did it once before, when he first banned ponies on /b/. a stiky on the board that said all ponies go to ponychan (before /mlp/ or mlpchan were a thing.) now that there's a good relationship with /mlp/ and mlpchan, they should do the same. edit the sticky on /mlp/ to say "these things aren't allowed anymore or never were -- nsfw, clop, r34, milky way, fluffy, ass worship, anthro and whatever else. take them to mlpchan. the rest is fine here if it doesn't break the rules or global rules.'

This is proof that moot CAN change his mind when it's necessary, I think most of us want to stay on 4chan so we need either less moderation on /mlp/ or a full blown /clop/ board.

It makes sense considering 85 percent of the MLP community on 4chan are horsefuckers, plus there are two gif boards, one for worksafe and one for NSFW, and those are much slower boards compared to /mlp/, so wouldn't be fair to have a worksafe and NSFW version of /mlp/? Another example of this kind of split would be /h/ and /d/.

Only some of the material is abuse, and I'd like to see that gone, but it's been removed entirely.

Fluffy has been running on /co/ since before /mlp/ was even created, and just like that it's gone.

If no abusefags existed, would it be allowed?

>>643438
Milky is a fetish porn OC.
>>643442
Why even bring up such a stupid question?
You've just answered it yourself.
>>
>>643438
Then you're basically asking for it all to go back to the way it was before all this mess, and things wil lend up exactly the same way, because people's nature doesn't change.
>>
>>643438

One of those is dedicated to the worship of a single OC, the other one is an old joke that got overused and drifted miles away from what it originally was.

Whatever, these are my opinions anyway. I'm guessing if they find a way to be allowed by the Mod, then probably.
>>
>>643445
moot is never going to allow pony porn officially on 4chan. period. stop holding your breath for it.

>>643452
well apparently it's not such an obvious question., since some people think >>643448
but they aren't just written. depicting ponies in slave collars in sexual poses isn't written. if in a work environment, a sexy pony wearing a slave collar is not SFW.
>>
>>643453
If it's disallowed because it's concept is too NWS for /mlp/ then that's that and they'll have to deal with it, but if it's at all possible for them to work with the mods to stay then I'm sure they would since they have in the past.
>>
>>643442
Yeah, I was there when "Pony Pet General" became a thing. It honestly is in the same vein as Milky Way and should be pruned.

"I don't like it, and it need to be gone"

By the way, is the moderator that Barney shitposter?

Just asking.
>>
>>643420
Thankyou for coming back to the thread. I'll admit I was worried that yesterday's session was going to be it and we'd never hear from a mod about those other points.

>>643453
But were the Milky threads even a problem before "this mess"? The only reason that I've seen given for them being deleted is them supposedly running the risk of people posting NWS images, but there's been a few Milky posters claiming that they'd already been warned about that and had organized within their thread to only link to NWS images offsite.
>>643347
>>
>>643460
How is the concept of pony slave pets any LESS inherently NWS or sexual of a concept than Milky Way or Fluffy Pony? Consistency is what I'm asking for. Satyrs are anthros, yet allowed while all other anthro is disallowed. Making special exceptions for pony pet play but not milky way? I don't see the reasoning. It should either all be or all not be, because at least then if it's the latter they can all stay together and try to survive better, but picking and choosing and making 3 or 4 leave and and be isolated when thye're no worse than some of whats allowed is hardly fair. it would be better in fact if it was consistent (and eaasier to understand) and then they could stay together whereever they want.
>>
>>643463
Pony Pet
also known as
PET PLAY GENERAL.

If it wasn't bad enough that the entire thread is based sex, sex, S&M and erotic roleplay, people were trying to meetup with each other.
>>
>>643463
>>643462
Fuck off. If the mods are going to use "work safe" and "not work safe" as benchmarks, then that's the standard we have to use. Are you that fucking retarded, nigger?
>>
>>643468
>How is the concept of pony slave pets any LESS inherently NWS or sexual of a concept than Milky Way or Fluffy Pony?
Explicit images. That is all. Though from what I've seen in this thread explicit images don't even seem to be much of a problem
>Satyrs are anthro
Tell that to /d/, they're not allowed to post furry either, but these kinds of part human part animal things are fine.
They fall under "monstergirl" or whatever category they have over there. If everything part animal part human was cleansed out half of /d/ would disappear.
>>
I just think it's ridiculous that like 90 percent of the generals are about porn or other NSFW content, and instead of giving them a proper home we're trying to find vague ways for them to circumvent the rules.

And there are ALWAYS going to be people who come into worksafe threads and start dumping porn so it gets deleted because they're assholes, please just give them the appropriate place to do it and then people can truly browse /mlp/ at work (for whatever crazy reason they would want to do that) and there would be show discussion and worksafe image dumps...but still more than 50, probably 60 percent of all threads on /mlp/ would be considered NSFW by the average site, if you're not going to go all the way and give us /clop/ then you might as well just delete /mlp/.

I don't get why moot hates MLP porn SO MUCH, I mean he has four boards specifically for gays and lesbians, come on!

I need to learn to finish fucking sentences. I meant not much of a recurring problem in the general, and apparently a small enough problem to the point where offenders can be dealt with individually.

>>643480
There's also one version where he searches for "clop clop"

>>643474
But with that definition all of 4chan is NSFW. We've been through this already, fuck off

>>643473
exactly this. it' part roleplay, part /soc/ and all sexual.
add it to the list of things in the sticky.

>>643480
lol advertisments mean something!

checkmate atheists

>>643477
he's not. going. to allow pony porn. on 4chan.
and all this finagling to work around the rules is just frustrating everyone. make a clear line about
>sex-based threads (like pony pet)
>anthro based threads (like satyr)
>roleplaying threads (like pony pet again)
>non-pony based threads (like tulpa)
and keep that clear line enforced. it is the one way to be fair and consistent, even if people don't like it. at least then those things know where they stand and can band together elsewhere, and hopefully be recognized as where people should go for that kind of thing, nsfw, clop, anthro, roleplaying, etc.

It's a way of moot telling us to look for porn on other sites and not post it on here.

Well how about the staff answers for once?

Mod guy, will there never, ever, without a doubt, 110 percent certainly not going to happen be a /clop/ board, or at the VERY least SOME place to post MLP porn on 4chan? And if not, WHY? I just don't get it.

If I went on /b/ right now I could probably find a loli thread, a yiff thread and a bestiality thread, and that's totally fine, but god forbid someone posts a NSFW picture of an MLP character.
>>
>>643438

This.

Those threads, especially Milky, pulled a lot of artists and writers for the board. Many of them made content that was not necessarily in the sphere of Milky general, and tossing them all under the bus, even when the Milky thread went through extensive lengths to obey the rules and keep their threads free of rulebreaking pictures being posted, will remove a large chunk of content providers from the board.

Besides, blanket purging not only Milky Way General, but Milky Way pictures in every way, shape, and form, even those which are entirely SFW, is just ridiculous. Singling out an individual OC in the /mlp/ sticky (not just a group of certain ponies, or an activity, a SINGLE OC) and banning it in every conceivable form from 4chan?

Isn't that a little excessive? It's a pony, not child pornography.

Tulpa was pretty much exploited by newer users.
While some were legitimate tulpamancers, who would dedicate large chunks of their lives to the study,
others would use this as an excuse to post their their OC, get a tripcode, then tell everyone about what they did with their 'tulpa' that day.
Of course they didn't actually have one, and everything they said was thinly veiled role playing.

I don't see why they can't move offsite.
they would be in much better company in actual tulpa forums, where the people are serious about it.
>>
>>643572
Hey why don't you grow some balls and tells us who you are if you genuinely think every new mancer is a roleplayer and only you fantastic elite few who get to learn about it early could possibly have a tulpa.
Yes you're so great congratulations for reading a thread a month before some other jack-off I'm sure that guarantees you are way better than him in every way possible.

Okay. I just got on today so I guess I'm behind on what is going on.

Why the actual fuck aren't Fluffy Ponies allowed?

I'm sure this has already been discussed, but there is too much to wade through and I'm not going to bother people by making a new thread here or on /mlp/.

Every time Scruffy says/does something reasonable, it seems like there is one little unreasonable thing squeezed in there.
>>
>>643631
too much NSFW content on them. Torture fetish rape blabla etc etc.
>>
>>643635

Holy shit... That degenerated quickly... How did people turn fluffy pony into that...?

So, no Fluffy Pony pictures are allowed or just threads devoted to it? Most Fluffy Pony pictures are just adorable fluffy ponies...
>>
>>643635
Pretty much this. Even though there was the occasional hugbox fluffy story and art, the large amount of other NWS stuff made it seem like the thread's concept was NWS.
>>
>>643629
The endless roleplaying accusations are one of the things that make a lot of the tulpa community so shitty, I don't care how mad I sound, it's annoying to have to see this shit from a couple of elitist oldfags and a bunch of trolls.
>>
>>643631
You got that he's saying no Milky because they're worried it'll attract NSFW sexual images, and be too much of a hassle to moderate, right?
Same thing for Fluffy, except with the NSFW being gore stuff rather than sexual.

Disclaimer that the above is mostly my interpretation from what I've read and it's possible I've fucked up and that's not actually be the mod's rationale.
>>
>>643638
>Most Fluffy Pony pictures are just adorable fluffy ponies...

Adorable fluffy ponies rolling around in piss and shit being set on fire and hammered with a hammer while being cut in half and skinned alive in front of their mother.
>>
>>643648

Oh. For some reason I assumed he was referring to Milky Way the chocolate bar.

I figured that people started trying to rebel yesterday with some idiotic stream of pictures of chocolate bars or something. But, what you said makes more sense...

Still, banning ALL pictures of something just because they MIGHT lead to something NSFW is kinda strange. It's still an improvement and I'll take my victories where I can. Scruffy is letting up a little bit and that is nice. So, if he wants to be strangely strict on these two points... whatever.

>>643649

But... But... there are so many that are just adorable fluffy ponies...
>>
>>643644

It IS interesting to think about how thin the line between tulpa and roleplaying is. In fact, one of the first steps to making a tulpa is picking a personality and working it from there.

One could argue that the early stages of a tulpa (until it starts "thinking for itself") IS just roleplaying.
>>
>>643676
Sure, I agree for the most part and it is definitely an interesting point. People like zEq up there don't use it like that though, they use it as an elitist hammer to beat new folks with and it has caused so many fractured new communities and people to quit the community and even quit tulpamancy. It bothers me a lot to see stuff like that happen.
>>
>>641369

I love how this is still being ignored.
>>
>>641369

Once again, the fact that these "amazingly creative people" can't find ANYTHING to do without NSFW material is incredibly sad. It just goes to show you how letting people get out of hand with rulebreaking just kills creativity. They have gotten into a rut and they don't know how to do anything else anymore. So, they keep posting the same sexual images and having the same circle-jerks over and over.

The only part of this whole incident I have ever been in agreement that was way too much on the part of the janitors is that the deletion of every general. But, guess what? The generals are back (except the ones that are inherently NSFW). So, WHAT has been lost here?

Yes, there was a brief period of time in which Scruffy went a little insane with his pruning, but that is pretty much over. The only thing that has been lost is the ability to shitpost the same shit over and over again. So, use that amazing creativity you keep hyping up to come up with new ways to enjoy yourself.

Or, is this really just about porn? Is it really that important to you that you don't want to continue doing ANYTHING without it?
>>
>>643695

I of all people would not deny your right to have your weird fetish generals, but please don't try to pass them off as "good art" or "beneficial OC".

As great as greentext stories about fucking ponies can be, they are not really worth anything outside of 4chan, at least in my experience.

For me, most greentext porn stories that have come from /mlp/ are simply: Fap and forget.
>>
>>643715

>Or, is this really just about porn? Is it really that important to you that you don't want to continue doing ANYTHING without it?

Not that guy, but the porn is really important. I don't know why, it just is. Of course it's not just with the MLP fandom.

Think about this: We have five boards just for different types of hentai. FIVE. /h/, /d/, /e/, /u/, and /y/. Additionally, we have a bunch of other boards about anime and Japanese culture.

We only have ONE /mlp/, with no porn allowed. I know what you're going to say: "IT'S BECAUSE 4CHAN STARTED AS AN ANIME SITE, YOU HORSEFUCKERS HAVE PAHEAL AND DERPIBOORU BLAH BLAH BLAH", well, what if moot removed every anime/hentai board besides /a/ and said "no more hentai"? What if he removed /vp/ and said you can't talk about Pokemon on /v/ or anywhere else for that matter?

That's a big reason why people who like MLP r34 are so frustrated.
>>
>>643715

You are forgetting one thing. There are two purposes to the porn on /mlp/:

1) Fetish fuel. That's what everyone sees.
2) It acts as a metaphorical wall which used to keep the bronies out. /mlp/ was the one refuge from the autism, hugboxing and "love and tolerance" bullshit, simply because the autists couldn't handle looking at porn of their precious ponies. Now that the porn is gone, /mlp/ will inevitably become ponychan 2.0.
>>
Yes, Yes, let's watch all the NSFW content BURN!

Horse Fuckers.
>>
>>643433
Anthro is an inbetween combination of pony and human. Satyr is literally the top half of a human stuck on a horse's lower body.
>>
>>643733

Are you suggesting having two boards for one show? That seems a little over the top. There are five different boards for different kinds of porn because they are very general things. My Little Pony is a very specific subject and it would be odd to have two separate boards for something so specific.

Also, no one is removing /mlp/, so I'm not sure why your examples were even thrown out there.

Sure, everyone loves porn, but there are porn sites. There is no need to post porn on a board that is supposed to be SFW.

I could get behind getting /mlp/ being changed to an NSFW board. But, then the repetitive shitpost circle-jerking would just get worse. Still, if that's what people want then that's what people want.

>>643736

So, just be mean to the autists. They're all 12 year old sperglords who can't handle criticism anyway. If you are slightly mean to them they will leave.

Besides, when communities of forums/boards/etc mix together, one never just takes over the other. They just mix.

>>643746
>I don't like your opinion!

You are aware that this site is supposed to be for people 18 and older, right?

>>643752
This has been brought up so many times before but just listen. Half human half animal is allowed on /d/. /d/ doesn't allow furry. Therefore Satyr=/=furry, end of story

All this could've been prevented by not going overboard.
>>
still would like a thought on >>640686
since moot is definitely never going to allow anthro ponies, nsfw or roleplaying and such.
>>
>>643420
I really don't think it makes sense for porn to be banned on /mlp/. A very, very large chunk of the people there are the /b/ crowd who migrated and took their porn with them. If they can't post it on /b/, and they can't post it on /mlp/, then there's nowhere they can post it and that's not right. /clop/, /mlpd/, or whatever you might call it, a NSFW pony board, would make sense as an option, and the board gets enough traffic that it both boards would still be healthier and faster than most.
Or, you could just make /mlp/ a red board. The majority of its population would welcome the change, so I really don't understand why not. Surveys have indicated that the overwhelming majority of ani/mlp/huckers are horsefuckers or will soon become horsefuckers. I understand that moot has some sort of vendetta against pony porn but it's the single category of legal porn that has no official place on 4chan. If he's going to insist on enforcing what seems to be such an arbitrary rule then he should at least come forward and explain fully what makes pony porn so cataclysmically awful.
>>641171 summarised it really damn well, in fact if you're talking to moot about this then please forward that specific post to him because I think it really nails the point.
>>
>>643781

Moot simply hates anything furry. End of discussion.

What will be interesting to see is if he hates furries or all of this complaining more. /mlp/ really should be red. It will solve everyone's problems.
>>
>>643787
It would become a neverending stream of pony pussies and cum-covered stallion cocks.

Sorry.
>>
>>643787

True, but fur threads are common on /b/. As it was said, pony porn is on the same level as CP. There is no destination for it.
>>
>>643789
I really doubt that, we practically had anything goes rules for a very long time and we handled ourselves excellently. /mlp/ isn't like /b/ where we'd just post porn non-stop.
>>
>>643789

Well, if that's what people want then give it to them. Let them suffer under the weight of their own stupidity.

>>643793

If /mlp/ was red, pony porn WOULD be allowed there.
>>
>>643787

Was moot raped by some guy in a mascot suit in his childhood or something?
>>
>>643789

No it wouldn't. /mlp/ has gone with porn from the very beginning up until this fiasco and it worked out just fine.
>>
>>643781

Well said.

One of the reasons I think cloppers/horsefuckers get so much shit is because everyone assumes we're furries because the ponies have fur. I think that's bullshit, go look at the average yiff thread on /b/ (I'd be willing to bet there's one up now with more than a hundred posts at least), then look at some clop and tell me you don't see a HUGE general stylistic difference. From what I understand, based on the many survey threads we've had on /mlp/, cloppers don't like furry shit and furries don't like MLP shit. Cloppers don't have or want anything to do with the furry community.

Clop does not equal yiff, same way bestiality does not equal yiff or clop. The three genres of porn are completely different and appeal to completely different people.

Everyone says /clop/ would be /fur/ 2.0 but that's just not true if you really get into it, I clop but I think yiff and furries are fucking gross.
>>
>>643796

I'm sorry... have you actually been on /mlp/? That's pretty much all it is.

>>643800

I like porn just as much as the next person, but posting the same stuff over and over again gets a little old. And, the same stuff DOES get posted over and over again.
>>
>>643433
>>643752
>>643761
Precisely. That's what I was saying, they're not the same thing.
>>
>>643798

I know, and that's what the board wants. I was addressing moot's hatred for furries - he hates them and they still are allowed on /b/.
>>
>>643806
>posting the same stuff over and over again gets a little old. And, the same stuff DOES get posted over and over again

Every porn thread was a repost with very little to no new stuff.
>>
>>643806
Have YOU been to /mlp/? They have like one thread at late nights and that's it.

>>643813

Except when there was a gay thread and an ass thread and a humanised thread and a diaper thread on the frontpage.

And that wasn't something unusual. It was like every other day.

Anyway, I have nothing against r34 and I don't care what your fetish is, but seriously, there was no need to have all of those at the same time.

I think we should have two types of spoilers, one for general use and one for NSFW. As far as I can tell, the only problem with spoilered porn is that spoilers are used for other things, making it possible to have surprise NSFW. With NSFW spoilers problem solved, no one sees NSFW unless they want to..
>>
>>643866
First off, spoilers in general is to hide an image. So hiding an image and then being surprised it was something you might not want to see just sounds retarded. However, I do have to agree that this would help with some of the problem, and spoiling all porn with this would be good. Also, this idea matched with an options in the settings to auto unhide the spoilers would be nice, if you are going there for the porn.
>>
>>643884
About the being surprised part, I was speaking more along the lines of not caring if the show is spoiled or not. You click the spoiler thinking it's a sneak preview of an episode and you're greeted instead with big mac's dick in your face. That would be something you thought you wanted to see and are instead surprised by the massive girth your mind now has to cope with.
>>
>>643898
>>643884
>>643866

Some chans have a feature that allows people to mark entire threads as spoilers or NSFW, so all images in them are hidden by default, but in the settings you can make them all visible if you want. It's like filtering except you don't need to type subject lines into your filters, you just know to not enable NSFW images when you're around other people. Aside from giving MLP 34 it's own board, this would probably be the best "everyone wins" scenario.

And didn't moot say in the PMQ that he DOESN'T hate furries and that they only stirred up drama a long time ago? Where do people keep getting that moot hates furries and thinks MLP is furry so he hates MLP porn?
>>
>>643909
Make a thread suggesting the feature and maybe someone will pass it to a developer. I'm sure we're not the only ones who could use it.

mlpchan has exactly this system in place on /anon/, where the idea comes from.
>>
>>643909
>Where do people keep getting that moot hates furries and thinks MLP is furry so he hates MLP porn?
I think the main reason is nothing else on the site sans illegal material such as CP is treated like MLP porn
It can't be posted anywhere on the site even though (supposedly) a vast majority of /mlp/ wants it/to be able to post it somehwere
>>
>>643921

But even furry is allowed on /b/, so does that mean moot actually hates ponyfags MORE than furries??
>>
>>643945
Maybe, I assume its more to do with how everyone spergs out over ponies
As long as he doesn't let shit hit the fan like it did over the past week, then I don't really care

Then why aren't diaper fetish threads banned on /b/ too? I saw one a couple of days ago which was getting trolled like fuck. At the same time, I've seen clop threads posted there which either get ignored or have people post to say "I don't watch the show, but I fap to the porn".

If you're going to ban things from /b/ because they are unpopular, at least be consistent.
>>
>>641414
>You're absolutely right. It's a quandary. Do you honestly believe that ponies would be welcome on /b/? I don't. Any pony thread there would never know peace.

On the other hand, they're hideable, inoffensive, and allow ponyfags to spill their spaghetti out of the public eye.

It's a public service. Keep 'em.

>Implying that people go on /mlp/ in public.
I don't see what the big deal is here. People don't actually go on /mlp/ at work right? So why does it matter. Let there be clop.

>Any pony thread there would never know peace.

The old among us have noticed that any pony thread anywhere, as of late including their own board, can never ever for any dependable length of time enjoy the least assurance at all of peace. If pony porn were allowed on /b/ then /b/ itself would shitstorm unimaginably for Moot to make /mlp/ nws just so that They could be rid of it. Wouldn't that just be a terrible joke of circumstance.

I do thank you for listening. Seeing a moderator completely 180 like you have between your OP and later posts clarifying what will be allowed is almost worth tears of joy, and I suppose you really mean it.

The horrible truth is that site administration didn't just start enforcing the rules late. That's why I'm glad you at least brought up changing some rules, because that process has been Very late in starting. And I can't help but note that this can not have been anything but intensional. So, thank you. Thank you for the progress on fulfilling a very longstanding promise.

I'm going to hope this works out well, but I'm not going to prepare that way. We're used to it.

Neither do thin-skinned faggots who can't learn to sage and hide shit they don't like.

Coincidentally, why are you still here?

I don't want to go to MLPchan. It's slow and it's a very different community. I want to discuss/post/fap to my r34 with the people I've been posting on /mlp/ with all this time.
