Which is EXACTLY what will happen if this continues.

That's not a thread, that's an inevitability.

>>627204

>>627190 (OP)
They keep deleting threads that do not break the rules, and it's getting to the point that I'm about to start spamming other boards until they fuck off.

Seriously, we've been happy and content, and now we're being deleted for no reason whatsoever.

>>627204
>Expecting moot to use foresight
>Expecting moot to be proactive
ishygddt

except the fucking spiral of shitposting and open revolt is just some scumbag furfaggots mad that they can't jack off to cartoon horses from a show meant for 6 year old girls.

>>627213
>deleting threads that do not break the rules
Citing reference from the toy line or the shows/movies, explain how Tulpa is related canonically to Hasbro's "My Little Pony" franchise.

>>627231
Yes because that is all that happens in every single general on the board

>>627190 (OP)
I'm reporting all those shitty generals. They really need to fuck off. Theres to many of them.

>>627233

Some of the oldest threads, like Anon in Equestria, basically a writing general, are being deleted on sight. They are well within the rules, but the janitors don't care.

And that's just for starters.

>>627236
Man last night they where deleting image dump threads

>>627236
AiE has been through almost fifteen threads now in the last two days. This shit is becoming ridiculous. The generals stay within their lines so they don't spread shit across the board. It's almost as if the janitor is a ponychan user.

>>627236
Those aren't canonically related to the franchise, nice try.

There are way to many shitty generals shittin up the place. They gotta go.

>>627236
Aherm ... I repeat:
Citing reference from the toy line or the shows/movies, explain how Tulpa is related canonically to Hasbro's "My Little Pony" franchise.

Apply the same to AiE, Flutterrape, and other fetish generals. I want canon reference that these things are actual discussions of My Little Pony.

If you can't do that, then it doesn't belong on /mlp/.

>>627243
>All fan content is bad and should be destroyed

>>627243
>>627248
Stories about ponies are within the lines of rules. As long as there's a pony in it, it's still within the guidelines.

>>627245
And spread the shit to their own threads instead? Could you imagine all the faggots from FR, AiE, AWG, and such creating a thread just with one story or set of pictures? You think it was bad before with the generals, imagine without them.

>>627248
>and other fetish generals
Thats the people complaining. Oh no i dont have my milky thread!!! or my tuppers!!

Nothing to do with mlp. Fucking shitty horse tit fetish general.

>>627248

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

>related

Note that word.

Besides, expecting /mlp/ to talk ONLY about stuff canonically related to the show during a 9 month hiatus when absolutely NO episodes are being shown is delusional.

Why is Moot, hell any of the mods, refusing to do anything about this rogue janitor?

>>627253
>Stories about ponies are within the lines of rules. As long as there's a pony in it, it's still within the guidelines.

Ah, the /sp/ argument. "It's ok to talk about my feels for having no qt3.14 gf because I used the word 'sports' in the title!"

If that doesn't work on /sp/, why should /mlp/ be afforded such privilege? Keep in mind that /mlp/ is already exempt from Global Rule 13. Why should /mlp/ get further exemptions?

>>627261
What exacly do you do on /mlp/ anyway?

>>627261
Refer to >>627258.

Just because there's something you don't enjoy on the board, doesn't mean that it should be deleted. Filter it and move on.

>>627264
report shitty generals.

>>627260
My guess? They don't see it as rogue. They see it as "rule enforcement". Frankly, I think it's about time someone started enforcing the rules. After all, why have rules if you're not going to enforce them?

>>627235

You either participate in one of a wide variety of generals constantly producing OC and entertainment or you can shitpost on the front page and get upset at nobody replying to your thread so you shitpost inside the generals instead

>>627273
I'm the hero /mlp/ needs.

>>627258
This is a nonsensical argument. It's like demanding the bar serve you a martini after the place has closed. You can go elsewhere to get your martini.

If the show is on hiatus and there's nothing to talk about, then go elsewhere and talk about other things.

Of course, being on hiatus doesn't matter. Lost ended, what, 5 years ago? People still talk about it.

>>627269
But Anon in Equestria isn't against the damn rules.

>>627268
Same here. I've been camping the catalog to report all the rule breaking generals.

>>627275
And the one it deserves right now.

>>627277
Yes it is.

>>627261
>Ah, the /sp/ argument. "It's ok to talk about my feels for having no qt3.14 gf because I used the word 'sports' in the title!"

AiE are stories taking place in the show world itself. Stories of what would happen should one of us just show up in Equestria. It has everything to do with the cannon of the show.

If you get rid of AiE you have to get rid of every write thread on every board.

Where in the rules does it say that pony related stories aren't allowed on the board where the first rule is that pony related things are to be kept there?

>>627284

But that was so incredibly obvious it should have had to have been stated.

Of course we're talking about ponies in pony land, what the hell else would it be about?

>>627260

I have this ominous feeling that this a coordinated attempt from the 4chan administrators to kill the board. We were /fur/ 2.0 all along but instead of making a quick deletion and permabannings they're getting rid of the threads that keeps the board moving so it drives off the users, loses traffic and becomes a slow, small and irrevelant board making it easier to remove it.

>>627289
And have it spread it to other boards instead? Highly unlikely.

I am happy something is being done about tulpa. It has no place on our board.
r34 has always been against the rules and if anything I'm glad they're cracking down on it.[spoiler] I can just use other websites anyway[/spoiler]

Almost everything else makes no sense. It's like the mod/janitor suddenly going 'eenie, meanie, miney, moe.'

>>627289
But the problem with that is this will spread to other boards, causing a massive shitfest.
Wouldn't it be better to just leave the /mlp/ box alone, poking it with a stick just gets shit all over the place

>>627288
But it's not obvious. It is only obvious to the tiny amount of people who regularly read/participate in that one particular general.

If you can't explain it to moot/Mods - who doesn't read/participate in there - in a rational manner, then you have no dog in the fight.

"Muh culture" doesn't mean anything at all and is not an excuse to break rules.

Generals shouldn't be deleted in random. This shitstorm is going to start leaking out of /mlp/ and into places people don't want.

>>627292
>>627294

There might be backlash, but it might be just a few anons; a few spammers here and there but it won't be something like 2011-2012. It's going to be slow, painful death for /mlp/

>>627304
>dozens of writers and hundreds of readers
As compared to 26 million 4chan visitors.

"Hundreds" is tiny. Deal with it. If you're not willing to intelligently make the case for your general, then step aside and let the grown ups talk.

>>627309
I didn't realise every one of those 26 million visitors went on /mlp/, sperglord.

Simple way to fix /mlp/
Delete the porn
Delete dubs and other random shitposting
Once that shit is under control, then deal with the generals. I would hazard that a decent number of them are within the rules, there are a couple that are basically tame fetish generals with pony shoehorned in and circlejerks

We are a collection of writers and readers who write things set in the MLP world. We dont post porn. What we do is relevant to the show itself. We are not TULPA GENERAL which is a how to guide on fucking your own brain up and is barely pony related. Nor are we Ass Worship because we are not all about a fetish.

If you delete AiE threads then any pokemon fanfiction threads need deleted from /vp/ or the video game ones that show up on /v/ and /vg/ occassionaly or even the ones for shows like adventure time and gravity falls on /co/.

Seriously, are they that venomous to the board? I didn't know they go out of there own generals and start asking you to create a tulpa or make green text stories.

I feel like we need to have a sticky on /mlp/ on HOW TO USE THE CATALOG or filter.

Generals are there to keep stuff like AiE/TG/Flutterrape/etc in a containment thread. So they don't start spilling in other threads to annoy people about their story/tulpa/etc.. Deleting them will only just spread them elsewhere in /mlp/. I rather have them where I can easily filter them, then look for good content.

>>627328
I'm not particularly happy about that either. I'm hoping someone does something. This isn't the right way to do whatever they're doing.

Containment. Let them suffer.

>>627336
Exactly. Actually i saw a thread get derailed into tulpa because they had nowhere else to go.
This shit needs to stop.

The issue with getting rid of any of the stuff that floats around in /mlp/ is the risk of it appearing anywhere else. /mlp/ is a containment board and therefore anything with ponies in any form should be kindly directed there. Sure I'm not a fan of self induced psychoses general, and I'm sure there are others which I don't look at which are equally against my personal tastes, but the fact remains it is not there by consideration to my personal tastes. It is there to stop it appearing in any other board. Some may not like it, but that is the point, you're not supposed to. So long as it stays on one board and upon that one board in one thread, then use the filter tool and ignore it. If it's not worksafe then report it, if there aren't enough threads to your tastes then make some, report those than break the blue board rules and move on.

>>627323
You do realise that fetish and crotchtits are containment generals, right?
Delete those, and you are going to have a lot of problems. Why fix something that worked for such a long time now? Why fix when it's not broken?

Bloody hell people, just leave everything as it is, and delete tulpa. That thing has no place on /mlp/.

>>627341
Furfags fucking off isn't a problem, it's the solution.

>>627341
>Delete those, and you are going to have a lot of problems.
I really don't think the 4chan Staff will let themselves be bullied. If they want to clean the crack heads out of the park and make it a better place, so be it. The crack heads may cause some problems in the local neighborhoods, but will eventually be completely run out of town.

In the end, it will make a better board and a better community even if it looks grim right now.

You're correct, but apparently some people think generals push great, creative threads off the board with some "omnipresence", when there are 165 possible threads and only 18 generals.

>>627337

What a worthwhile post!

Fallout Equestria General hasn't been deleted once and they're as unrelated as it gets when it comes to the show. This guys have no leg to stand on.


>>627323
>>maybe crotchtits. Lots of content generated from those threads
Milk thread posts more comics and original content than most of /mlp/. I just don't understand why people get so worked up over threads like this, I mean it's not like they can't just filter them.

>>627358
Seriously? And SFW image dumps are getting Deleted? So what exactly is going on?

>>627343
If you don't like it, hide it. You know that little minus in the top left corner of a thread? Well, press that.
Personally, I could care less about those threads, but are you sure you'd want to delete them? Even though they've kept to themselves?

>>627344
>In the end, it will make a better board and a better community even if it looks grim right now.

Will it? You really want to purge everything, simply because you don't like it? All of those are related to the show in some way, you know.

Sometimes, I weep for what the people of /mlp/ have become.

>>627360
I have no idea, but until Moot does something I'm going to continue posting in whatever and do whatever I can to make the mods job as difficult as I can.

Though it is of no suprise to me that this whole thing started after the visit to the board by Lauren Faust. At some point someones sensibilities got all worked up into a bunch and this is where it has led us, forgetting that 4chan is the very asshole of the Internet and that such horrors will always remain somewhere.

No matter how heavy handed you cannot destroy shit, just spread it out and if you cannot accept that then perhaps a more family friendly pony based forum will be preferable.

>>627367
>If you don't like it, hide it.
That does not apply to things that break the rules.

>You really want to purge everything, simply because you don't like it?
Don't talk to me as though I'm a Mod. I'm just an anonymous user. I don't really want anything. I don't question the actions of the administrator on a website I didn't make when he's enforcing rules I didn't write on a board that doesn't belong to me.

If I don't like something the 4chan staff is doing, I mention it in an email to moot and that's it. If it continues after I've mentioned it, that means moot wants it to happen and my only option is to shrug and roll with it or go to another website or make my own website.

Throwing tantrums has never gotten anyone anything in the history of anywhere.

>>627338
It will only end until the Janitor gets banned or moot says something. Until then, it will stay a shit-storm.

>>627341
Though I do agree with your opinions, deleting tulpa will only end with a backlash.
Deleting tulpa will only end them either:

A) Spreading them in /mlp/ which will lead to a TERRIBLE situation.

B) Them moving into another board, which will lead to other boards coming in and bitching about tulpa being there.

As long as they stay in one damn thread and not spread all over /mlp/ we should just leave them be. Not like they're harming anyone if they stay there.

As >>627348 says there 165 possible threads with 18 generals. Even if there was just 100, I think they can make good threads.

>>627372
>Throwing tantrums has never gotten anyone anything in the history of anywhere.
It got us a board.

>>627307
>There might be backlash
There WILL be backlash. I don't think you know just how well connected all these threads are to each other.
When one goes down, the others are instantly on high alert thanks to a shit-ton of IM communication. Some of these threads are fuck-huge too, with a lot of people to call on should something big happen.
The /mlp/ janitor needs to calm down, as I've been hearing ominous whispering coming from the thread chats and none of it bodes well.
If this isn't fixed, I fear it may turn into a site-wide shitstorm.

Sounds like a challenge to me.

What you fail to realize is that the Mods/Janis take less than 1/2 a second to click a delete button. Hell, they can set up a fuckin' bot to do it while they sleep.

Bullying the staff and making threats of invasion won't do you any good. The 4chan staff is battle hardened against all onslaught. 4chan survived Kimmo Alm, the Orange Box, and /b/read.

It will survive you.

What rules are being broken? r34 threads are deleted on a regular basis. And those are the only ones that are breaking any rules.

Let's list the threads that are being deleted, and continue to beg for explanation on why the sudden increase in moderation.

I wonder how /mlp/ look after this shit-storm then. Would moot be actual wanted this to happen, I wonder.

>>627387
Probably some guy wanted to make a pony tulpa. Leading to it being a mass phenomena for others to create tulpae. Least that's what I assume.

How the fuck can you think getting rid of the threads that produce so much fucking content a detriment to the fucking board?

This makes no god damn sense at all. Stories, art, and everything underneath are fucking gone.

>>627399

A lot of people have been doing that, and we're all waiting.
But, since meta-threads aren't allowed on /mlp/ and are being deleted on sight, this is the place to discuss the issue. At least that's the way I see it.

>What should go on /q/?

AiE is trying to assimilate the other threads, but they are putting up resistance it seems.

I just don't understand. Yes, some of the threads in conflict with the rules, but a better part of those deemed 'unacceptable' do not break the rules in the least.

I mean, is this because of the whole faust ordeal? Wouldn't it be crazy if she is the one who created us and killed us? The alpha and omega?

WHAT GREAT PEOPLE BRONIES ARE

>non rulebreaking generals are deleted on sight
>shitpost threads like >>>11152856 get to live on

Yeah, this is not "rule enforcement", it's just a rogue janitor.

My life has no purpose without /mlp/. If moot doesn't stop this happening I will kill myself. moot, do you really want your blood on my hands? I'll put you in my suicide note.

...in all seriousness though, a reply from moot on why we suddenly have 50 janitors would be nice.

>>627434
The funny thing is that you could be making sense
If this is not related to Faust in any kind of way, even because...
What if there is a group, including the janitor, that's shittying up /mlp/ to keep ponychan and lebbit and EQD out?
hehe, it's a funny thought, but disconsider it.
Anyway, there's something else about this all, something else we're not in the know. If it was just a new janitor, we would have known it earlier.
Anyway, we need answers, we must find out if the rules are finally struggling to be enforced (even if it is clunky and all), if the janitor's on a rampage, if there are scripts behind it... even someone having hacked into 4chan or the janitor's pc is likely.

>>627436

Forcing otherwise peaceful nor/mlp/eople to post on other boards just gives the mods an excuse to permaban them.

No wonder /mlp/ is dead, every shitposter meaning almost every poster is gone.

A good way to cure cancer, next step is to delete the board. This culture, these faggots raging at such bullshit are the worst thing on 4chan.

>/mlp/ created as containment + show discussion
>Faust visits
>/mlp/ is reappropriated as show discussion, shitposters redirected to /s4s/

Get it? /mlp/ is no longer the containment board. /s4s/ is.

Even in the midst of all of this whining, there is a legitimate question to be asked:

Global Rule 15 says that all pony material should be posted in /mlp/
Board Rule 5 says that threads should be about something show related, not people-related.

These are both fine at first glance, but there's some ambiguity there. Example:

Red Ribbon is a pony created by a fan that never appears in the show. Is it okay to post about her freestanding? What about writing a story about her interacting with Pinkie Pie in a scene that didn't happen in the show? What about a picture of her helping to defeat Nightmare Moon in the series pilot? The answers to these questions might explain why Milky, Normal Norman, and others are being deleted.

>>627553
I don't know, probably just the one.


>>627557
But we can't post other ponies on other boards, so our only option is to post on /mlp/.

>>627557
It's kind of controversial, actually
How would one define "pony related"?
And that "show related not people related" is also kind of weird. I mean, it's not like the Faust thread was show related anyway...

>>627525
>next step is to delete the board.
I agree wholeheartedly.

>>627565
Do you really want ban evading pony shitposters who will not stop until the board is back or #15 lifted?

The problem is that things were going just fine and suddenly we have this janitor randomly deleting threads with some shitposters and uninformed people supporting him and the rest of /mlp/ getting angry with some of them planning 4chan-wide raids
moot's lack of response about something that has the potential to get 4chan into full HAPPENING mode makes me believe there's something planed going on

Pony will be spread all across 4chan.

Precisely. We have threads on /mlp/ arguing that most of the generals are not "show related" even though they contain ponies. Furthermore, only the word of a mod or above carries any weight, so perhaps this is a legitimate point for someone high up to clarify.

>>627563

I thought Rule #5 was meant to prevent Mando threads? Well, not him specifically, but raids and personal targets were pretty common even before /mlp/ and its rules were made.

What you guys don't realize is that if /mlp/ turns to shit all the ani/mlp/huckers are going to flood to the other boards.

/b/ already has troubles with pony threads. They won't stand a chance once half of /mlp/ starts joining those threads.

Same thing goes for /v/ and any other boards where ponies can be reasonably posted.

Furries got nothing on /mlp/'s extremely autistic love for ponies that made them make tulpas, try hypnosis and all kinds of shit for those little horses
Their autism is enough to shape continents, it won't just die with a board wide permaban

>>627589

the only place who looks okay with /mlp/ is /s4s/ , people there actually posts R34 material...

>>627589
Some of us ani/mlp/huckers browse other boards and did long before /mlp/, thus know how to post elsewhere without being an aspie. Unfortunately we can't say the same for the majority of the board, and if /mlp/ gets canned plenty will revolt, or at least try to merge with other boards which will shit them all up.

>>627590
It is.
HR would be knocking on your cubicle if they found that shit on you

>>627601
As they would if I were browsing half the threads on /a/ or /tv/.

>>627589
Lifting GR15 on /s4s/ would solve a few things, but can we stop talking about the ban-evaders and focus on the plight of people who are trying to abide by the rules yet are having their discussions razed for no apparent reason? If you tell us where not to build the house, most won't build there a second time.

>>627592
it's more that the tulpa and hypnosis ideas fascinated people but they wanted to mix them with another interest. So there's shit like pony tulpas.

>>627589
>WE ARE LEGION XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Idiotic exaggeration. I'd be glad once you all are driven from 4chan permanently, which would be an eventuality.

Not to mention that they always inevitably turn to full out porn threads anyways.

Think about it idiot, if /mlp/ have no lives like most say they do, imagine the little amount of time they need to just shit everywhere

>>627609
Aside from a few idiots, no one's actually threatening that. /mlp/'s stance on raids has always been "fuck off /b/tard!", given how often we were raided early on. Sugesting a raid will make most of the board decend on you in anger.

What people are saying here though, you fucking twit, is that if /mlp/ did not exist, then either you would have to (try, again) to ban ponies from all of 4chan, or you would accept that they would be posted elsewhere. So the 'generals' and more will make their way elsewhere. There will be pony DnD groups on /tg/, MLPG will appear on /co/ again, pony toys on /toy/ of course, and so on and so forth.

Because people on this site fucking like this shit and want somewhere to post it.

>>627618
It's funny, but /jp/ said the same thing when NEET was removed. There was a shitstorm, a couple of half-assed raids, and now /jp/ is back to normal and better than before - when a bunch of sperglords were using it as their personal blog about piss bottles.

If the 4chan staff can handle NEET, they can handle this.

>>627620
Posting on 4chan is a privilege, not a right. The only reason the /b/ circlejerks which are #outlaw manage to survive is that the threads contain 0% content, and deletion doesn't really matter, the same doesn't go for standard topic threads, a sitewide pony ban would be possible.

>>627624
>If the 4chan staff can handle NEET, they can handle this.
Pony is hated with a passion. They'll suffer, bitch, and complain worse than we do. Take this as a word of warning.

...but this line of discussion is meaningless here. As was said earlier, hypothetical doomsday simulations are pointless. We just need to know the specifics of our janitor's interpretation of the rules so some of us can pony in peace on /mlp/ and others can find refugee camps elsewhere.

/mlp/ is blue which means SFW... however during some time comunity around it gradually turned rather NSFW ... so there are two options - stick to rules and purge /mlp/ back to SFW, or
stick to trend of community evolution and make it NSFW

>i sais it is stupid idea, but somehow it makes sense

>moot thinks if he make it NSFW it's going to turn into /fur2.0/
I've only been on 4chan for about a year now so what would be the problem with it becoming "/fur2.0/"? Some people like different shit. Furries aren't really my thing but it would be nice to have clop threads without worrying about getting banned.

support, moot needs to leave our porn alone

>>627671

>>627667
>The Scruffening
HA!

I like that.

>>627680
Furries... back during the Furry Fiascos of the mid-2000s, furry culture was very loud, very obnoxious, and very in-your-face.

It's toned down considerably since then, I hardly hear 'FURSECUTION' at all, these days.

But nor/mlp/eople aren't really like that. They've been happily staying in their corner, not bothering anyone since their clubhouse was built.
So I can't, in good conscience, compare Furries with Bronies.

>>627657
back

didn't read it all, but if i got the idea, then every redboard gets spammed with porn -> end. so making /mlp/ NSFW could result in the porn flooding and "dissolving" /mlp/ itself in it.

Also moot stated 13.8.2012 quite clearly that he is not going to let /mlp/ get NSFW.

So i guess /mlp/ gets purged to SFW and that's end of story.

>>627671

because furry only goes in /b/, not in another board

Rule 3: "Do not post the following outside of /b/: Trolls, flames, racism, off-topic replies, uncalled for catchphrases, macro image replies, indecipherable text (example: "lol u tk him 2da bar|?"), anthropomorphic ("furry"), grotesque ("guro"), post number GETs ("dubs"), or loli/shota pornography."

however, global rule 15 says

"All pony/brony threads, images, and avatars belong on /mlp/."

this means no pony content outside of /mlp/ and it's a blue board

/mlp/ rule 2: "This is a work safe board. No pornographic images or other not safe for work content is allowed. This includes clop clop!"

technically you can't post R34 on pony, however this is normally to see on /mlp/

>>627680
Well /mlp/ is meant to be a containment board right? So why not just let us have fun? As long as we keep to our own board/thread we won't be hurting anyone.


>>627678
>LeastIntelligentPost.png

>>627693
>So why not just let us have fun?
Because your containment board has rules, just like all prisons have rules. You have to follow them.

>>627692
I'm fully aware of the rules. What I want to know is why.

Why aren't we allowed to post nsfw pony related material on /mlp/?

>>627660
You'd think a containment board would be NSFW, but the flood tide of porn would overwhelm some of the /co/ expats and people like them who want to have porn-less discussions. This also teeters on that line of show-related =\= pony-related because there have been threads about the ponies' sexual orientation and sex lives (pardon the autism).

>>627667
Again, most of /mlp/ is mild-mannered outside of the board (we use other boards frequently without incident) and we are operating within the guidelines of 4chan in order to see a return to normalcy.

>>627682
1 and 5 is always the answer, but some don't see the light.

>>627190 (OP)
Porn being gone is a non-problem for me.

My beef is the killing of the actually productive generals. for example: AiE and the other writefag threads, even if you don't like their content, at least produce show related content and discussion.

>>627703
The actual problem is that there's a janitor on a rampage that is not even making sense according to the rules he himself is supposed to follow
So what are we supposed to follow?
Heck, I don't see how AiE broke the rules.

>>627699

because rule number 2 of /mlp/ just because it's says it, or because moot wanted it in that way

>>627702
yeah i have saw those threads, however a lot of posters there just can't ignore "troll responses" or similar (or bait if you want to say it in that way) and now everyone is shitting about this new "scruffy" because he is deleting threads than doesn't breaks the rules

It will be in about 5 minutes

>>627695
You say that like we caused trouble. The only reason we needed to be "contained" is because moot got tired of having everyone whine and complain every time they saw a pony image.

Ponies are only percieved as bad because the majority of 4chan doesn't like them. (Which is understandable.)

>>627711
Well, it was being deleted
Maybe Mr. Scruffy is getting aware that AiE is A-Ok since it's the prime example used in all complaints
