I'd like to add something to OP.

There are often normal and even stickied threads, sometimes posted BY MODS. How is this allowed? All those stream sites have ads, unlike the ones OP mentioned. They're commercial.

I don't think moot really understood either, or he might be completely contradicting himself. See:

I think both the users and team need to respect the rules, but there certain types of threads that are in the spirit of the board and should probably stay. The issue is, as one Anon put it last night, "one man's culture is another man's shitpost."

http://archive.foolz.us/q/thread/590845/#591447

>>636797

To add to the second paragraph, this happens especially on /v/.

And to the last, it's a quote from the PMQ.

The recent actions against the threads are happening because the issue was brought to light in a thread on /q/ recently. Moot stated that they were against the rules, annihilating any protection they previously from mods.

Whether or not the rules will be upheld on the other boards remains to see. They probably need a pretty big hatebase or dedicated hatebase. If the board don't bother reporting (or complaining) it won't get prioritized (that's my impression at least).

How harsh the rules should be upheld, I wouldn't agree blindly to. Sure, if you want to be strict, delete every thread linking to a stream-site (be it commercial or not), but I don't think this justifies deleting threads like >>>/a/87341850 who never mentions any stream. So be it that most users in that thread are listening to the stream, but the thread is for discussing anime music (or at least they can say it is, raising question to the deletors credibility, which seems to have become the goal on /q/).

Hahaha,
>enforcing the rules equally
WTSnacks is a former moderator, there won't happen anything. Besides that, every stream is a bannable offense, every radio, every advertising which links to your own page, your own creations or anything which could give you any benefit.

>>636814
It would be nice to know how those e3 STREAM threads reached thousands of replies (not quality discussion), then.

>>636819
They don't enforce the rules equally, as I said.
I don't know where the difference is for them, non-advertising private radio-streams without any benefit for any person are restricted, ex-mod streams are allowed, private streams for bigger events are, tell me where the difference is

>>636823
I just think that should change, and here's hoping this thread is noticed.

Personally, I'd like to see this grey area made a bit less grey. It's rather disparaging to see something you quite enjoy be hunted out by some butthurt faggots who go so far as to DDOS things to "get their point across", yet see similar things thrive elsewhere.

> I reported the Snacks thread

oh god, my sides

>>636872
Yeah. Futile, but it shows it's not just /vg/ that's having the same such things thrive, week after week.

Yep. Figures that I'd wake up to this being buried under a bunch of other crap.

>>636823
>I don't know where the difference is for them, non-advertising private radio-streams without any benefit for any person are restricted, ex-mod streams are allowed, private streams for bigger events are, tell me where the difference is

If I had to guess, streams for live events (cons, E3, live sports) are allowed because it is a one time event happening live. Not something that is reposted after the event is over. Typically, the person streaming is risking jailtime (for live sports) or is provided by the company/host (cons or E3). They are unlikely to be reposted and the person streaming has no interest or benefit to keep users coming to his stream, the event is over.

Radio threads, "come watch me play _____" and "Streaming [movie] come watch!" threads are advertised and purposely bumped to keep on the first page. The creator of those streams are usually trying to make a name for themselves and repeatedly post threads for their streams (very common on /b/ and /v/).

The advertising part of the rule has nothing to do with making money, its simply the repeated posting of a thread and then repeated bumping without any discussion or content (usually an imagedump). By constantly keeping a thread up, the stream/radio station is "advertised" in this sense.

>>637478
Yes, but they are still "stream threads" as would anything else linking a stream in the OP (SC2gen, LoLgen, SpeedRunGen, etc.) and should still be held to the same enforcement, and they currently aren't. The risking jailtime/provided by company bit shouldn't matter, as either way, as you put it, someone's making a name for themselves.

>>637484
>Yes, but they are still "stream threads" as would anything else linking a stream in the OP (SC2gen, LoLgen, SpeedRunGen, etc.) and should still be held to the same enforcement

MILF threads and CP threads are both porn threads, should they be held to the same enforcement?

Just because two things seem similar doesn't mean they are.

Stream threads where you are advertising your channel/show/format are radically different than a live event stream. Live events have a set duration, "stream threads" as defined by the rule pop up constantly because there is always something to stream (playing videogames, movies, etc).

>as either way, as you put it, someone's making a name for themselves.

I stream all my baseball games because I don't pay for cable. There are 162 games in a typical MLB season. I've been using the same live sports streaming site for the last few years and the same guy has been streaming Braves games since forever. To this day, I don't know his name, internet handle, stream name, what he prefers to call himself. Nothing. Its just one guy, with an MLB.TV subscription and a passion for baseball.

I don't watch the "Hey guys come watch me play _____", "Guys come watch _____" or "STREMAN ______ GTF IN HERE" streams ever; they are quite frankly retarded and add nothing to the community. However, I could tell you the name of 4 or 5 streamers who spam their crap all over /v/, /b/ and other boards. Why? Because they advertise their shitty streams all the goddamn time.

If you honestly can't differentiate between these two things then I don't really know what to tell you. Saying that a stream of E3 is on the same level in terms of contributing to the board as some drunk neckbeard playing videogames in a livestream is astonishing.

>>637529
>MILF threads and CP...

Yes, they should, if they are being posted on a board where porn is not allowed.

>Saying that a stream of E3...

I agree that there are varying levels of contribution, but under the current policy, a stream is a stream, weather it be a mostly board related music stream, Midnight Snacks, E3 panels, drunk neckbeards streaming shitty games, or koreans playing starcraft.

I don't have anything to say as for your non-relationship with your sports streamer, but that's kind of your prerogative.

Yes, there are differences. Yes, I understand that some things are good, some things are bad. Yes, I know I'm a laughing stock for having reported the Snacks thread... but if we're going to have a blanket rule that doesn't blanket, then it shouldn't be a rule.

>>637542
>I don't have anything to say as for your non-relationship with your sports streamer

You completely missed the point of that entire paragraph. Its not that I don't have a relationship with my streamer, its that he has no interest in making a name for himself. He never advertises. He never spams. I've been watching his stream for years and I know nothing.

Streamers who spam their links and bump their threads I do know, because they are advertising. Just by casually browsing a few boards I know their names because they incessantly spam. THATS advertising.

>but under the current policy, a stream is a stream

What does the rule ACTUALLY say?

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

Advertising is the violation here, not specifically having a stream.

>>637551
>...because they incessantly spam. THATS advertising.

I agree. I however do not see a once a week thread (such as that of Midnight Snacks) as being incessant spam.

Sadly, at this point, I believe my thread here doesn't have a place to stand until mootles and his merry band of moderators have clear definitions of what is what.

In addition, though I do like the banter between us, I don't think me crying out one way and you rebutting the other is going to get either of us anywhere but angry at one another. I wish you a good day anon, and thank you for the conversation. I'm going to go now and hope that some day soon (I know moot is a busy man) something is done so that it's either okay for all, or okay for none.

>>637551
But, r/a/dio and Eden are not advertising. They should be allowed. Simple as that.

>>637590
Sometimes with streams like that, the owner of the channel will get money based on either pageviews, viewers in the channel, or have advertisements in-stream for whatever where the advertiser will pay for adspace on a popular stream to the maintainer (which is why I think Twitch isn't allowed.)

Also, mods and moot will post streams for important events. I know it's weird, but they're often considered "Above the rules", especially moot since it's his website.

>>637627
I personally know both the owner and the benefactor of Eden. What goes into making the site happen is completely out-of-pocket. There are no clandestine ads or what say you anywhere. It's all a service given to /a/, /v/ and any other board wishing to listen.

I haven't spoken at length with the owner of r/a/dio, but from what I understand, it's a similar, if not the same, boat.

>>638241

>>638256
Solid argument. The line in the middle, "I know you want to be a janitor desperately," really made me understand your claim that moot listens to /q/ shitposters. If you had actually cited some examples or explained yourself in any way, it wouldn't have had nearly the rhetorical impact of calling me pathetic.

Uh, yeah, so? I didn't say they weren't a problem, I said that what they do doesn't interest me and I have no idea why you act like they're so important. They are only important insofar as when they post, their posts should be reported so that a mod can click the "ban and delete all" button.

That's it.

>>638266
Have been reading anything I've said or is the red mist of your anger obscuring everything? This is a thread in response to moot saying that r/a/dio threads are advertising and therefore bannable, which is consistent with the rule about advertising, and not in contradiction with anything moot has said on the subject. He was asked "why aren't /a/ radio threads considered advertising" and he responded with "they are."

Now, if you can explain to me how any of this involves moot caving in to shitposters, please go ahead.

>>638274
Oh, I get it. You're trying to establish some kind of link between Siztra and moot's statement on r/a/dio? Christ, you're stupid. Do you also believe that Siztra has mod buddies who ban people he asks them to? And moon landing: real or fake?

>>638276
This is why we should have school year-round for primary schoolers.

>>638276
I actually don't give a flying fuck about any of the tripfags. Reporting them doesn't actually do shit. They are all on revolving IPs anyways, so they get banned and are posting again within a few minutes.
Also, the original thread grouped radio threads, with people trying to advertise their livestream. The former has no ads in any way shape or form. The latter does. I believe it was a blind ban, as a little fact checking would have shown this. Siztra showed up near the middle of everything, grabbed eku's trip when foolz managed to post it, and proceeded to shitpost/spam new threads. Clearly you missed the entirety of the first thread.

>>638284
>I believe it was a blind ban
Look, this is the problem right here. There was no ban. There has simply BEEN a ban. All moot did was state that in his opinion, r/a/dio threads fall under that rule. He didn't go out and personally hunt down every one of them he could find and deal out harsh public bans. He was just clarifying his stance on the matter, i.e., if he were the one who saw an incoming report for that thread, he would treat it as advertising.

Construing this as a "ban," especially one as a result of that /q/ thread, is very stupid.

>Clearly you missed the entirety of the first thread.
I didn't follow it closely, but I know what went on. Admin backlinks are hard to ignore.

>>638152
Many complaints are valid.
Others are completely arbitrary.
It's easy for mistakes to be made since the mods are only human.

The person who started that thread, the one where moot's statement came from, was Siztra. He was, from what others have said, evading bans at the time, and took credit for it. This is where the "moot caved in to shitposters" thing came from.

>>638306
So what? If Kronie made a thread asking "why isn't spoilered porn banned" and moot answered it, is that caving in to shitposters?

Your screencap tells me that not only is "moot caved in to shitposters and banned r/a/dio" a sad and ill-conceived fantasy, it's a sad and ill-conceived fantasy shared by Siztra. That's just embarrassing.

>>638294
afaik, the original thread was about ads and advertising plain and simple. neither of which radio/eden do. Why don't you go look up the meaning of advertisement.

>>638318
Have you actually read the rule? The words "stream threads" are in it.

>>>/global/rules/11

>>638322
Thats the thing, the orginal thread wasnt about streams. it was about ADVERTISING.

>>638324
I don't even know what you're arguing any more.

moot didn't reclassify /a/ radio threads. He didn't "ban" them. He just confirmed what global rule 11 already says, which is that stream threads are not allowed.

That's all there is to it. If you disagree with that rule or think r/a/dio should be exempt from it, fine, whatever, but for the final time, there was no "caving to shitposters" involved.

There are bigger problems on /a/ and I don't think one thread a week is causing such issues.

Since when have music stream been considered bad except recently?

>>644067

>Since when have music stream been considered bad except recently?

They never were considered bad by anyone but a vocal minority. Moot and mods have been dumb enough to take trolling on /q/ seriously, so here we are.

>>644067
"Music thread"
Have you even been in those threads?
There is so much blogposting and completely unrelated shit it's unbearable.

The worst part is an anime music thread (even with a stream with /r/s) without /soc/ tier blogging would be amazing. But for whatever reason bloggers just flock to these threads.

Seriously though do you actually think r/a/dio threads would be worse off if there were no blogposts?

>>644075
Yes and?

Can't fucking ignore and hide the fucking thread?
Everyone flocks to those thread because it's that one moment we get to unwine and stay on /a/.

And don't you fucking tell us to go to /soc/ because we don't want their 3DPD shit either.

Just let us make our damn r/a/dio thread where we stick to a single thread and leave us the fuck alone.
If there were 5-6 thread being made daily of those thread, I'd agree but there are only one or two per week.
This isn't about how r/a/dio thread would be better without blogpost but it's about having them at all.

Go bitch somewhere else with your tripfag friends and try to be a hero somewhere else.

>>638261

Does that get your attention?

>>644081
Doesn't matter if Siztra is in on it or not.
Blaming him is just trying to find a scapegoat.

>>644075
r/a/dio threads have been accepted for a long time, except for a few butthurt fags. If nothing else, it helps contain blogposts.

>>644086

>finding a scapegoat

Siztra and his crew are the only ones shitposting and baiting people in those threads

>>644079
So by your logic I can make a thread about mlp on /jp/, blogpost about my life and what I'm currently doing / eating and it has no right to be deleted because I'm there to unwind?

There is already a containment board for posts unrelated to other boards >>>/b/ and a board for blogging more or less >>>/soc/

>>644075
Also,
>There is so much blogposting and completely unrelated shit it's unbearable.
By that logic, watamote and 8man threads should be banned too. I think I see more blogposts in those threads than in some r/a/dio threads, not to mention there are usually more than one of those threads on /a/ at the same time

Then the people in those threads deserve it for taking the bait.

Either way even if r/a/dio is being attacked by Siztra or not, the threads are still not allowed. Even the mod agreed, I don't know why people are still helplessly trying to defend r/a/dio.

>>644092
>more than in r/a/dio threads
That's impossible.
r/a/dio threads are nothing else than offtopic and /r/equests. There is nothing else in them.

>>644086
Siztra used to listen to said streams but got buttmad like some 12 y/o brat when everyone told him to fuck off for shitposting.

He doesn't want the stream gone for some higher principle of board quality, he's just bitching because no-one gave him the attention he craved.

Moot caving to the absolute worse example of tripfaggotry is inexcusable.

Different board and different environment.
They have their own livestream when mlp episodes go up, I know, I've been there since they opened.
You can't compare two boards that have nothing to do with each other.

Pointing out other boards exist isn't a solution you idiot.
I don't crossboard and I doubt others would ever want to go to /b/ because fuck that place.

>>644079
>Can't fucking ignore and hide the fucking thread?
The ability to hide threads was not to excuse off-topic posting.
>Everyone flocks to those thread because it's that one moment we get to unwine and stay on /a/.
A hentai thread would be "one moment" when you get to unwind and fap on /a/.
A video game thread would be "one moment" when you get to unwind and play with /a/.

These problems we face are made up of many single, individual problems. Letting one through just gives others reason to want their idea of "just one thread" through. Youll attract people who think that sort of thing is acceptable - its the same principle as ragging on Naruto or other mainstream shit.

>And don't you fucking tell us to go to /soc/ because we don't want their 3DPD shit either.
As long as you dont post about it you dont need to "go" anywhere, necessarily. Those streams happen like clockwork: you know when and where to be to join in, so just do it. Create an IRC room if youre so deprived of human interaction for that period.

If your only argument as to why something should be on any given board is "b-b-but its fuuuun" then you should rethink everything.

I am tali, enjoy banning my VPN
http://www.iprental.com/ - Allows you to change IPs as often as every 2 minutes, and use up to 720 IPs in a 24 hour period. - I said it is impossible, believe me what I am talking about, additionally a dynamic IP with the size of a b-class subnet.
Here for verification purpose.
>>644135
Yes, ban them. There would be no fucking need for babysitting these shit fucking threads if people would behave properly.
Yes, obviously the content of my post is now devalued, as I am not a "nice" person, correct?

>>644142
I really doubt a thousand people were actually posting. Just because it had 1000+ posts doesn't mean it had 1000 posters.

>>644145
That's kinomod for you, he's a resident of r/a/dio and like many threads he has been keeping r/a/dio under his safeguard. That's the only reason those awful threads were stickied.

>>644149
1000 people were connected to the stream.

>>644145
It was always against the rules, however, /a/s mod acts on his own whims.

>>644149

It got one thousand listeners

Assume the 200 usually idlers weren't posters that's at least 800 posters

You really think just because 1000 people were connected to the stream automatically meant 1000 people were actively posting in the thread?

Of course not.

>>644147
I just don't get how again you guys can say oh no blog posting in every thread when every major show thread devolves to blog posting at one point.

>>644147

Yes, post the recent threads after Siztra made it his mission to fuck with them

>>644155
That doesn't make it ok. Mods even remove threads that go that far offtopic.

Explain to me, how is blogposting on /a/ a good thing?

>>644159

I swear you faggots are turning blogposting from a legit complaint into a goddamn buzzword

Do you even understand what constitutes a blogpost? It's a THREAD made with a topic uniquely devoted to some random faggot's life when nobody fucking cares

Stream threads are not about. It's about the fucking Japanese music being played and the shows they are from.
The worse activity that people enjoyed in those threads was the UNTZ spam

>>644159
You're just repeating yourself. Out of arguments?

Isn't the utmost important part of 4chan that people are enjoying themselves? Rules are only there to stop scenarios in which the users are not having fun. Blindly enforcing them is naive.
A bunch of whiny cunts complaining over-vocally about one thread per week, that isn't even linking to a stream that doesn't even have advertisements (like moot was told) is something that should be ignored, and caving to them and cracking down on said threads and thus ruining the enjoyment of many more users because by some definition you can suggest that it breaks the rules and MUST be deleted, is against the goals of the site as a whole.
Or you can be an over-controlling cunt who demands that everyone follows the rules to the letter no matter whether it makes sense to or not. That works too.

>>644149
I don't really see the problem in blogposts as long as they are contained in that radio thread every Friday night or whatever. I mean, /a/ is full of loser fucks, and that's fine. As long as the blogposts aren't about ''muh gf'' or other cancerous normalfag shit, I don't see the problems.
In my opinion, Radio threads serve as a place where the majority of the community would connect and you could actually see what kind of guy you are calling a faggot in the next Eva thread.
4chan was ALWAYS about the community. IF the majority of the community likes the Radio threads for what they are, I think they should stay.

>>644153
You're actually dumb enough to believe that there weren't at least 500 different posting over the course of the massive thread.

https://archive.foolz.us/m/search/tripcode/%21muyaGtmzoU/type/op/page/1/

Look at this fucking shit. Pages upon pages of streaming threads that have been constantly posted for 2 years. 80% of this guy's posts are mindless bumps in advertising threads that no one else posts in. No matter how many times I report them, they stay up for hours only for a new one to be made the next day.

It's ridiculous, and there's no excuse for nonsense like this to continue, let alone over the course of two years.

>>644160
>It's blogshit and it's cancer
>I decide what is good for the good of /a/
>fuck what if people are not bothering others and are having fun, I HATE IT

>>644159
How is it a bad thing?
Why do you hate it?

It might attract people to do the same?
Fuck that, we got more people doing Sakurafish thread than stream thread.
You guys are shitposting to get those threads down because you're moralfags trying to save the board and be moral guardians.

>>644164
That's the thing, they are NEVER, FUCKING NEVER, about muh gf.
We fucking HATE HATE 3DPD shit.
We talk about everything and anything.

Fuckers are confusing blogposting with talking daily about our life with talking about everything and having a good time.

>>644162
>>644164
While I agree with both of you, I can see where the opposition is coming from, if only because I believe the basis of their arguments is "if you allow it once, then the 'exceptions' will keep piling up"

>>644170

I already said this last Sunday and will say so again

I am willing to concede that eden and r/a/dio need to work together and figure out a schedule that reduces threads to a bare minimum, and especially avoid to many threads in a single day
Steps were already made to ensure that but apparently not enough

The issue here is when it stops being legitimate complaints and pass into Siztra's bullshit

>>644173
r/a/dio was doing this
only 2 of their DJs are allowed to make threads
one on Tuesdays and other on Fridays

>>644160
Sure it might be Japanese music, but there is very miniscule discussion of that itself. Don't kid yourself. I have been in the threads for quite a long time, and most of the discussion is always random shit every week.

>>644165
No, because I know if there were 500 posters that thread would have been easily 3000+ posts. I'd say a maximum of 200 were in there, and about 100 give or take actually posting. You're overestimating on how many people actually post in threads compared to lurkers.

>>644170
Exactly. If it weren't for r/a/dio we wouldn't have four other music streams.

>>644173
>I am willing to concede that eden and r/a/dio need to work together and figure out a schedule that reduces threads to a bare minimum, and especially avoid to many threads in a single day
I agree. While I also appreciate these threads, I do admit that they get a little bloggy. It is about people having a good time, but I personally think "What are you drinking while reading your manga?" is pushing it. They should maybe also limit the subjects of discussion, if at all possible.

>>644160
>Do you even understand what constitutes a blogpost? It's a THREAD made with a topic uniquely devoted to some random faggot's life when nobody fucking cares

>>>/a/86666054 (Dead)
>>>/a/86666190 (Dead)
Why would it have to be a thread? These two posts are blogposts, they completely ignore the fact they are in a /a/ music thread and start talking about worthless shit related to their lives.

>>644168
Blogposting itself isn't bad, but when people do it on a imageboard made for talking about anime, then yeah it's bad. Its completely unrelated to the board, it attracts [spoiler][/spoiler]>tfw [spoiler] [/spoiler]posts ect.

I can't see how you can justify blogposting on /a/

>>644177
>If it weren't for r/a/dio we wouldn't have four other music streams.
So, out of curiosity, would you be MORE okay with it (I won't ask totally, because I don't expect you to completely change your own views) if it were limited to just r/a/dio and just friday nights? Assume that this is enforced

>>644173
They could solve that themselves by hosting it on another chan, like r/a/dio is doing it right now.

>>644184
It would be less clutter, so I would say yes. Although, it's not going to happen now that moot clarified that no streams are allowed.

>>644177
>>644180
>>644181

If the issue is the threads are being shat up, why not clean up the fucking threads instead of fucking removing them outright?

Also why is the single only thing you bitch about is the drink question
Does it piss you off that much?

>>644186
>but i would never post in the threads
But he did

>>644186

Bullshit, I've seen his trip in the thread more than fucking once and he idled in the irc as well

>>644187

That is not a solution, that's a patchwork
They want to do them in /a/ because that's the community they're a part of, can you not get that?

>>644188
Do you really expect a janitor/mod will solely divert his attention to r/a/dio just to clean the thread up?

I would probably say because it's so unrelated of a question pertaining to the thread.

>>644186
Please, he would come to the threads saying ''oh I heard you guys talk about me behind my back and stuff'' and starts ironically being sorry shitposting until a janitor comes and deletes his post and the flow turns back to normal.

Don't you dare say that Siztra doesn't visit these thread, he's been meaning to fuck around r/a/dio for a while.
He just buzzes around for being an attention whore.
The Eku clone in the last r/a/dio thread was him for fuck sake.

>>644192
>GB2 /v/
Siz saying this is incredibly unsurprising

>>644188
>Also why is the single only thing you bitch about is the drink question
That was an example. There are probably other, even more off-topic blogposts, but on the top of my head, it was the first one that came to mind because it tends to be the one that the most posters reply to.

>If the issue is the threads are being shat up, why not clean up the fucking threads instead of fucking removing them outright?
That was my point. I'm pretty damned sure mods don't want to clean up every single blogpost in a 500+ reply thread, so I was suggesting that the stations reserve their discussion a little bit. A quiet thread with with a little on-topic discussion and requests here and there would be ideal, but I know it won't be easy, even impossible for some DJs.

>>644193
They won't ever be allowed, can't you get that?
It's not relevant what the mod says, moot said they are restricted, there is no need to further elaborate, they are done.
>>644197
[citation needed]

>>644193
If they were truly part of the community they would understand the common decency not to break rules and ban evade. They're just as bad as Siztra.

>>644188
I'm not a moderator nor can i control them, please don't confuse me for one.

That was merely and example don't try to over-analyze it

You know, even though I don't necessarily agree with you (I'd personally like to see r/a/dio back), I appreciate the fact that you're calmly responding. It's much more refreshing and enlightening than those that just reply with rage. Thanks!

>>644194

They take the effort for fucking Naruto

>>644199

Because it's a fucking question that pertains to the activity of listening to music alone on a Friday night but that's beside the point.

Also what do you expect the DJs to do
They aren't 4chan mods, they can't do shit. If reducing the number of threads is what you mean, I'll concede that

>>644202
>It's not relevant what the mod says, moot said they are restricted, there is no need to further elaborate, they are done.

I don't give a shit what moot or the mods said.

Actually, lets analyze that. Moot spoke out ONCE, in a thread made by Siztra, under the assumption that there was advertisement going on
Do you understand the difference between advertisement links for profit, such as to websites with donations or adds, and a completely profit free website ran from the pockets of the devs just to bring weeaboo music to /a/?
/a/radio got blacklisted precisely because they started running adds.

And if you want to get REALLY technical, there was link or advertisement being done in the thread

>>644205
Go away Tali.
Shitposting is still shitposting.

>>644211
Streaming is restricted, it is a global rule, what would have been changed if the statement of the thread would have been that there is a stream instead of advertisement?
Correct, nothing, it's a violation of a global rule and therefor a bannable offense.
The janitor deleted the first thread of Eku and he made a new one, got a ban and has to deal with it.

>>644205

>ban evading

I'm sorry what?
Eku?
He got a three day ban on Sunday, and a one day ban today
There was no ban evading

Eku is a lot of things, but he's not a shitposter

>>644211
That's because people ironically shitpost in them when there's actual discussion going on. I don't really browse those type of threads so I wouldn't really know.

>>644212
>Shitposting is still shitposting.

I think you got that wrong, buddy.

Also, this Tali you speak of is >>644148

>>644209
I want to see r/a/dio back too but without the offtopic stuff.

Picture it now, a thread devoted to anime related music with a DJ taking requests and a zero tolerance for blogging, I personally would love that thread.

>>644209
Oups sorry.
Eyes are playing tricks on me.
Please excuse me.

>>644221
I don't mind the blogging too much, so long as it's kept in r/a/dio and not bothering anyone else. I can/could fully understand all the rage if it was leaking out and "infecting" other threads

>>644217
Sorry I wouldn't know since I'm not in r/a/dio's IRC like yourself. Thanks for clarifying.

Even if he isn't ban-evading, repeatedly breaking a rule is pretty bad itself.

>>644216

You are enforcing rules you have no understanding of or know why they are in place.

>>644219

>actual discussion
>Naruto

Naruto threads are considered shitposting period. There is no "actual discussion" to be had except saying how much it sucks and wanking up all the side characters

And after a few hundred times, it gets boring

>>644209
My pleasure. These threads are important to me, but I can't deny that the quality of posting is deteriorating, and can see why some don't want them on /a/. But I digress - fans of these threads can care just as much as I do, and as such, it would be a better solution to fix the threads rather than remove them.

>>644211
>Also what do you expect the DJs to do
They can constantly remind not to blogpost, I guess? Not sure how well that would work, but it's definitely worth a shot. I'm sure the listeners (or at least some of the listeners) can understand the gravity of the situation and cut back a bit.

>>644225
It does though, people not using the catalog would have to put up with seeing people break the rules and blogging.

>>644228
Neither do you, as it seems.
These rules are in place to avoid that everyone starts advertising his own stream.
They are advertising their stream, therefor it is a rule-violation.
Do you really think it will stay on a 1d ban if he keeps doing it? The bansystem is accumulative, they will start to hand out 3-7-10-30days and finally a permanent one.
It's a matter of time until the r/a/dio is gone.
I am looking forward to it.

>>644226
>Even if he isn't ban-evading, repeatedly breaking a rule is pretty bad itself.

No rules being broken chief

>>644234

The rules are in place to avoid spam and links that TURN A PROFIT

>it's a matter of time until r/a/dio is gone

Don't fucking bank on it

>>644233
Well maybe they should grow some fucking balls and learn to not get annoyed at petty things like that

>>644228
If you actually read my whole post, you would realize I don't visit those threads. I was just throwing out a theory into why they are cleaned up by janitors.

>>644237
His ban today seems to say otherwise. Please think before you post, you're doing no good for the defense of r/a/dio.

>>644233
In my opinion this doesn't hold much water. If people were somehow wandering into other threads and going "guys what are you drinking tonight?!" then it'd be an issue. As it stands, scrolling past it and having to see the minimized version doesn't strike me as unforgivable.

>>644240

Like I said, there is a mod on Siztra's side

>>644238
>>644242
Why should people not be upset when someone breaks the rules?
Would you be cool with brony threads on /a/ for example? Both are breaking the rules, both shouldn't be on /a/

After going in their thread that's currently going on, guess what they are doing? Blogging.

It seems to be that Blue and Jake are the biggest offenders of this. This is why you have legitimate hate for these threads.

>>644243
Yes, if you actually read my reply to you before that same mod you're talking about is actually the one banning him. The archive is your friend, you would know this if you properly searched it instead of throwing out stupid conspiracies.

>>644247

Why would they if they have a board for them
It's not the same thing

The question you should as is, would you be okay with a broney music stream on /mlp/

>>644248

And, if you read my reply to your reply, as well as tali's ONE FUCKING POST in this thread, you'd understand that the "bans" he's handing out mean absolutely fucking shit and he does it for appearances

I wouldn't put it past him to be fucking Siztra. They're both huge faggots

>>644243
Then we fucking get to moot.
I don't give a shit if there's a mod on Siztra's side.

>>644242
It's because the argument of ''people disliking seeing blogshit when they scroll down'' is like the argument that a shitposter will stop going to thread to fuck things up because he hates a show/thread.

It's retarded.

>>644248
You know what.
I'm fucking tired of this word.

Fucking define what blogging is so we can get this shit sorted out.
Is talking about daily every day life blogging or is talking about everything and anything blogging?

>>644247
Pony shit would be fine on /a/ if /a/ accepted it, not because it is against the rule.

>>644249
There is literally a board for blogposting and one for offtopic posting >>>/soc/ and >>>/b/ respectively, its the same thing.

Read my replies, I don't think r/a/dio threads should be banned, I think the shitposters in them should be. So yes I would be fine with a brony music stream on /mlp/

>>644253
So you really think he's doing it for show? Why don't you ask him yourself if he's conspiring with Siztra in the IRC? I'm sure he would be more than happy to reply to you.

Also that rage, >>644209 is totally wrong about you.

>>644257

Prove that you're him.

It doesn't matter if they are /a/nons or not, they are blogging and shitting up the board with BLOGGING.

Ah, I was wrong. I was going off colors, but I guess there's more than two shades of green. Genuine mistake.

Now do you actually have something to contribute to this argument other than being a conspiracy theorist?

>>644265
Siztra is a normalfag, in every sense of the word.

>>644266
There.

Then the issue is that r/a/dio goes off-topic more times than not.
NOT that the thread go into blogging.

Glad we're clear on that.

R/a/dio is not about fucking blogshit.

Is anyone going to contest that going off-topic = blogging?

>>644286
I don't think you know what a normalfag is.

Please explain how the current status of r/a/dio threads is better than:

a thread devoted to anime music & anime related music with a DJ taking requests and a zero tolerance for blogging / posts completely unrelated to anime.

>>644279
Whoa, easy there. I don't particularly like Siz and Tali, but it would be better not to point fingers here. Instead, why don't we go back to that last argument you brought up?
>(gALTLiYt) The thread itself is fine, like I've said it's the shitposters and bloggers that are ruining it.
>(You) Then remove bloggers from premise
As I've said in another post, a mod can't simply browse an entire r/a/dio thread (you know how huge they can get) and ban every blogposter, that would take a lot of time, and frankly, would probably scare a few people and incite some reactions. The solution is to prevent blogposting from happening rather than removing it. How do you do it? By reminding people not to do it, of course. It's certainly worth a shot.

>>644288
>implying you know the term

>>644290

The warning has been made to not do it.

Also at this point, you really think trolling isn't bound to happen?

>>644289
According to Mr. Samefag Expert, I guess so.

>>644293
People would just flat out ignore it, even if it was a constant reminder.

>>644293
r/a/dio doesn't blogpost.
It goes off-topic.

There's a difference.

>>644301
It does both. Don't kid yourself, that it only does off-topic. Blue's posts are almost solely blogging.

>>644303
I do agree with that entirely, but that isn't the main focus of what r/a/dio threads are about.

They're about anime/anime music. Blue and any other 'blogger' is not endorsed by r/a/dio in any way, shape or form.

>>644296
>Do you think the DJs go out of their way to encourage it?
They probably should, if it's the main issue that's keeping them from making their threads.
>Also at this point, you really think trolling isn't bound to happen?
Hmm... you're kinda right about that, but then maybe it would be a little more obvious for the mods to remove the offending posts. I have faith in stream listeners, they wouldn't go out of their way to displease the people offering the service.

>>644299
>People would just flat out ignore it, even if it was a constant reminder.
You never know until you try, right? Reminding to sage your post if it's off-topic certainly worked... well, a year or two ago, at least.

>>644301
>r/a/dio doesn't blogpost.
>It goes off-topic.
It has a bit of both, but the point still stands that they should be prevented. I understand that popular threads always have some of both to a certain degree, but there should be some moderation from the part of the posters.

>>644309
>Reminding to sage your post if it's off-topic certainly worked... well, a year or two ago, at least.
back when people on /a/ remembered what sage was used for.../tg/ still gets it

>>644306
This. As >>644293 said, the best thing that can be done to make /a/ radio threads more /a/-related is to direct discussion to the music actually being played, which is, ideally, anime/manga-related music.

However, as >>644299 also said, people aren't really going to take heed of it that easily. This doesn't mean that it will be impossible, though. It will take an active effort by the DJs and the rest of the people in the thread to make this happen, but surely this is a better course of action than "ban them all" or "no more /a/ radio whatsoever."

>>644297
>urban dictionary

Get the fuck off /a/ and never return.
Seriously.


>>644303
I do agree it sometimes goes into blog but it does not EXCLUSIVELY only do blogpost.

The way this fuckers are bitching it is as though r/a/dio ONLY blogpost about their life and muh gf.

Yeah Blue blogpost from time to time but you're not going to put the whole thread on a single guy, are you?

>>644309
I personally see r/a/dio as a place where people talk about whatever the topic is at hand or the music or whatever.
If you start restricting it, it becomes less fluid.
It reminds me of old /b/ and /a/.

Idiots like Siztra and crew are bullshiting their way into saying that blogposting = off-topic discussion.

There might be discussions about the anime/anime music sometimes, but you can't deny the fact that the discussions barely ever happen compared to the discussion of random nonsense. I have been in the threads, so I know fully what actually goes on in those threads.

>>644314
No, because I have seen other people do it as well. All of the participating people are part of the problem. Either r/a/dio fixes the thread or chances are it won't be allowed. This is assuming you get past moot changing his opinion on streams.

>>644326

Moot's opinions on streams are no profit advertising

Do you not understand the point of rule 11. For fucks sake get it together tali

>>644314
>I personally see r/a/dio as a place where people talk about whatever the topic is at hand or the music or whatever.
>If you start restricting it, it becomes less fluid.
I guess that restricting the content is a problem, as with all forms of censorship. But "whatever the topic is at hand" is not always anime related, which really is a problem. Except for self-moderation from the posters and the DJs, I don't know how you can keep off-topic and blogging posts to a minimum. That doesn't mean there will be absolutely, positively, 100% anime-related posts, I'm sure that won't happen. It's just not that easy with popular threads. But it is possible if people, new and old, know how to moderate themselves.

>>644332

By that, I mean keeping off-topic and blog posts to a minimum, not having a thread that strictly adheres to animu & mango.

>>644326
I'll save my regards until moot makes the final decision about streams.
He doesn't need to go public and say that they are all perfect and everyone should make one but he should just tell his mods/janitors to leave it the fuck alone.

You have no argument other than moot said it was bad because of advertisement and you hate off-topic discussion/blogposting, both of which is still related to the board in question.

>>644332
I would argue there is some sort of self-moderation within the flow of discussion, just like you would with any conversation, we've all been in those types of thread.
But I don't see how people think they can have their cake and eat it by wishfully thinking that people will stay on topic when there is no topic at hand except just discussion about anything.

WE DO TALK ABOUT ANIME if the discussion comes up, just like we can discuss personal life depending if it is related to the flow of the conversation or topic.

Why people don't understand this beats me.

>>644336
I agree but it is nearly impossible to do.

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

Seems to me that it fits under stream thread. I really can't take you seriously anymore, so I'm not going to reply after this.

Hello Tali~

>>644340

THERE IS NO PROFIT BEING MADE

Global rule 11 refers to sites where a profit is being made you stupid son of a bitch!

Do you not understand that? Do I need to keep repeating myself. Can you not into 4chan for fucks sake

>>644116

Because so many of us don't browse other boards. Now then, other than blog and wallow in our own shit, what else do you think the thread could do? It's either complete meta, blog and spam over current song or nothing. But the 'nothing' is not an option, the point is that it's a gathering of a few hundred.

Now what I suggest you do is create or get access to a method to detect how many unique IPs are active on the board at that moment. Then compare it against the 300-500 people listening. If for some reason there's barely 2000 unique IPs browsing /a/ at that time I'd be safe to fucking say that radio should be left alone by the sheer fucking popularity it has as an established clique on the board.

I don't go into waifu,draw threads, buyfag or any other long standing tradition and try to troll or break them. They are but a single thread amongst almost 100 of which 50 barely get past 30 posts, meaning that there's clearly the room for this thread to exist as other larger more active threads are clearly not being bumped off. Just because you don't like seeing it on the front page (>using the front page at all) doesn't mean you can't hide the fucker.

Seems to me you don't understand what constitutes "advertising."

>>644338
Go for it. I'm not stopping you.

>>644341
Who?

>>644343
Do you not understand the advertising of all forms? It doesn't matter that there's no profit being made. It's always been frowned upon of stream threads of any sort whether it has advertising or not. ABIB wouldn't have deleted the thread today if it didn't break the rules. Why don't you bother him about it on IRC?

>>644345
See above.

Because you're talking out of your ass.

Merely mentioning a product is a form of advertising.

Be right back, reporting all threads talking about anime/manga.

Don't count your eggs before the chicken laid them.
I would go directly to moot if I could.

So stop it.

Not talking is certainly an option, but that's obviously wishful thinking. Quieter radio threads do this and I really love them for that, but that's just me.
>WE DO TALK ABOUT ANIME if the discussion comes up, just like we can discuss personal life depending if it is related to the flow of the conversation or topic.
I know you people talk about anime, I didn't deny that. The thing is, as you've said, if there is no topic at hand after said discussion, people start discussing about anything - which may or may not be anime discussion. Therein lies the problem. It is probably not to post and disrupt the flow of conversation than going with it with an off-topic post.

>>644352

Because ABIB is either is Siztra's camp or he's a goddamn dictator who cannot into 4chan as much as you can't into 4chan

It's a rule set in place to prevent adds and advertising spam
Understand this

>no advertising allowed in any shape.
>Advertising essentially constitutes posting a link to somewhere that isn't 4chan.

Guess we better ban all threads that post youtube links and anything else.

Also despite being completely off topic, buyfag threads don't seem to have the same problem as R/a/dio threads. Yes its off topic, buying dolls has nothing to do with anime or manga, even if some of the dolls you're buying are related, just like how r/a/dio has nothing to do with anime or manga, even if most of the music being played is anime or japan music.

>>644362

People love talking and discusting
I'm not social, nor are a lot of people on /a/.
I doubt we would skip that chance to talk to people about whatever while having a good time listening to music.
We're all awkward and that thread is a perfect way for us to be happy and talk happily.

I can just imagine a scene of a movie, a concentration camp where everyone is listening with their headset to the music, all in fear and not aloud to speak or they would get shot or the camp would cave in from worms.

Still.

What I think the issue is, which is unfortunate because I fucking see what the problem is and it isn't blogposting, it is that the topic is off topic and non specific.
We become /b/ in a sense while remaining civil, which is nice and good, and is what a lot of people appreciate on r/a/dio.

The threads are about listening to music and discussing about anything and everything.
Fun thread.
Fuck what people think and how /a/ should be directed.

I would go directly to moot if I could.

>>644369
I hate comparisons.

There are hundreds of different variation and it becomes pointless to compare one entity with another without bringing up the easily noticeable comparisons.

It's pointless to point out how this side is the same as another side, just discussing r/a/dio on their own is sufficient enough.

>>644370
If you can't take it directly to moot, then why don't you ask the resident moderator who resides in r/a/dio's IRC? I'm sure he would gladly help.

>>644370

>>>/vg/ is a whole board dedicated to ignorance of Da Rules
Oh, wait, no it appears /v/ rule #5 has been appended to include /vg/ now. It used to say:

"Game help and long-term discussion threads should be posted to the /games/ board."

and has since been changed to:

"Game help and long-term discussion threads should be posted to the /games/ or /vg/ boards."

all because E-sports fans are bordeline illiterate and Steam users are greedy.
