/fur/ - Furry★

Specific threads that get a pass have been used as excuses for others that are just dumps, so I'm looking at a rule that does some enforcing while explaining the leeway we give things:

6. If a porn dump is made and develops no relevant discussion (thus becoming more than a dump) in a week it is subject to bumplock or deletion. Broad generals are one exception.

By relevant I mean it isn't simply exclaiming your feelings over the fetish or how much you want to fuck X character, and it's directly tied to furry. Most of any talk about werewolves is going to be furry related, but wanting to be farted on applies to anime or anything else just fine.

The avian thread has talk about bird designs and variety in pictures, but that pig thread is just a porn dump of mostly one character.

The Freya thread talks about the character and story of the game she was in, while that Judy thread was just a dump.

Of course, pointing out the /fit/ thread is fair. It got its pass from being very old as well as having a lot of SFW, so we tossed the particularly dedicated OP a bone. However, this rule going through means it has to face the same standard.

Share your feedback if you have any.

Any way to hamper the cancerous /leftypol/ vs /pol/ threads?

>>25185

Don't read them? I think it's fine as long as they stay in their own threads.

the discord shilling is more obnoxious than the porn dumps tbh. discords take away from the board activity and make it look dead. which means less chance for people to participate with the board.

excessive discord shilling doesnt suit /fur/. let's face it, we dont have a big enough board for it to not make a big hit on activity. I've seen tons of discussions or posts that get wasted talking about a board thread outside of the board, because its in their own splinter bubble discord.

>>25213

This

The bigger issue is shit-threads that can kill a good thread. That's why /fur/ was condensing threads like porn dumps in the first place, not for some autistic shit about mod-approved rule about "relevant" discussion.

Case in point, I just noticed a thread on the verge of death and archived the first /fur/ game thread 5 mins ago before some furfag pushed it off the catalog, go check and it's not there anymore.

https://archive.is/QRm2Y

Now the OP has to make that all over again, and while it's their own fault they werent active enough with their own thread it's gone.

Shit-threads can take away from good threads by the front pages exposure because no one wants to go through the whole catalog and people probably only care to look through the first few rows of the catalog, or maybe use the search box.

>>25203

True, just worried about the same thing happening here that has turned /tv/ to shit.

>>25231

wasnt /tv/ shit because of the mods banning over personal feelings?

>>25234

They don't seem to ban anyone over anything. Right now it's several threads of shitposting and low energy trolling about trump and jews.

>>25235

why would that even be on /tv/ its completely off topic. at least the threads on /fur/ have been some political event related to furries.

>>25235

People talking about things you don't like doesn't warrant a ban, you faggot. This isn't FurAffinity.

>>25288

He made a new one because the auth link changed to /fur/ instead of /furry/

>>25288

So did the hack undo the mod edit of the OP?

He could have just asked for someone to fix it, instead of jumping the gun with a new thread like a fag, it doesnt serve any purpose now and should be hard-deleted.

>>25299

Both threads should be deleted tbh, since yiff.party is run by the faggot that hacked /furry/ in the first place.

>>25300

>hacked /furry/

condensing / deleting duplicate style threads goes beyond porn dumps, we discussed on how to handle meta threads, going forward by highlighting the current meta-topic in the OP instead of making a new thread for attention. So all of the old meta threads have been pruned.

Is the website being hacked again? There are a few threads that have had all content from the last week or so suddenly disappear (I've noticed this on other boards, too) or appear in the catalog but return a 404.

>>25367

I'm not sure about content disappearing, but the 404s are due to Codemonkey's caching system fucking up and generally being shit.

We can fix 404'd threads with a script, but missing content is an enigma. Do you know which threads that happened to?

>>25369

There was one about a Pokemon discord that went away.

>>25369

That was deleted. I lost my post expounding on it and discord advertisements so I'll get back to that later.

>>25385

Really? Well that's worrying.

I made a thread on /sudo/ about it, so we can only hope CM sees this as serious enough to address.

>>25385

>>25396

I just managed to make the missing posts in /lit/ pop back into existence by bumping the thread with a test post and then deleting it.

This seems to be what's happening on other boards, too. Weird.

>cuntmonkey

Hey. Board Owner of /btan/ here. I'm wondering if it'd be ok to make a thread here to discuss you guys' board-tan and other characters you use? I know there's Kemo (which I'd like more references of), but there's a couple recurring characters in the banners too, I'm curious about them.

>>25855

The cast thread is here >>23844

We have n8, k8, f8th, bill katt, kemo-chan, and to a lesser extent Bushy and YCH. All other banner characters are from the artist that made them and aren't specific to 8chan.

>>25859

Thanks, man.

>>25213

It's a pain that enough people do this for a rule to be made about it.

"No shilling group chats. Rooms made specifically for /fur/, to organize or another purpose, are fine in related threads."

How's that?

>>26278

How about: make one cyclical containment thread for them all to shill in and fight each other for attention (and our amusement).

Anyone who starts a separate thread with a discord URL should have it replaced with a random one from the quarantine thread for the lulz, and then a 24 hour ban.

>>26569

its an amusing idea but the issue with that is people will just bump the cyclical with their discord shilling over and over.

Does anybody here value /pol/ threads? They've become a bit of an issue.

>>26956

Spammers trying to out-compete spammers for attention from the kind of loser who'd go into a spam quarantine thread to click links is kind of its own punishment though, isn't it?

>>26975

political threads, not /pol/ threads have become an issue because theyre doing a shit job on serving as containment threads like what was advocated for in previous meta threads. right now it's just drumming up agitation everytime anything tangentially political gets posted because anons cant control their autism. banning political threads wouldnt change that the same anons are just being as much of faggots in other threads.

>>26975

>>27017

Think we should be quicker to sage the thinly veiled political threads?

I guess others aren't going to pitch in. I should get around to responding to this one.

>>25230

>The bigger issue is shit-threads that can kill a good thread

Which is part of the reason for the rule. "shit threads" are more or less what I defined as the problem.

>that's why /fur/ was condensing threads like porn dumps in the first place

Which this rule is an enforcement of.

> not for some autistic shit about mod-approved rule about "relevant" discussion

That's a bit hypocritical. You just said "shit threads" are a problem, so I can misconstrue your words similarly as "you want anon-approved 'relevant' discussion". In fact I can better do so because it's far more vague.

I gave several examples so keep those in mind.

>Shit-threads can take away from good threads by the front pages exposure because no one wants to go through the whole catalog and people probably only care to look through the first few rows of the catalog, or maybe use the search box.

Exactly. And "shit threads" that go against the whole purpose of the board shouldn't get precedence over others.

I want to effectively discourage and contain unsubstantial porn dumps/fetish threads while still being relatively chill. A fair grace period before taking action should do a better job. They get a chance to have it for X time, but knowing it will just be deleted should urge them to use a general.

Though, it should be said that too many of them at once would warrant a few immediate deletions.

PS : The name of the app is Ouroboros (Spell mistake)

And I cleaned the cache but the posts still there

>>27303

>>27305

It's likely a result of 8chan's caching errors. Make a regular post and the images should come back.

Are we not spoilering OPs anymore?

>>27309

No problem

>>27314

We are, sorry about not getting to that sonicfag thread.

>>27328

What about the herm and femboy threads?

>>27329

We altered the rule to more specifically cover bodily fluids like cum, since it's hard describe what is considered tasteful without getting overly specific. That and the others thought it would be better to leave more tasteful OP images to board etiquette.

Personally I think there should be some action to encourage the etiquette (considering most who frequent furry boards aren't used to the idea) and we should be capable of making the judgement calls, but we've been giving this a try.

For now if you see an OP that you think should be spoilered, bring it up in the thread. If we see some consensus it will be spoilered.

If that isn't effective at all we'll reassess this. Or now if you guys want to talk about it.

>>25184

There doesn't need to be another rule added for dumps. If you're worried about anons coming in and only making porn dump then this won't change anything other than being able to delete threads a lot faster. Fetish dumps will die on their own with no one else contributing and the rest of the board calling them out on their shit taste. The same applies to threads like the femboy and X character threads. In the case of X character threads, they might turn into discussion, but not always at once. It might take a few weeks, even a month, or never at all, but the chance is there.

If you do go through with this rule, what if an fetish dump thread talks a lot about artist and writers in the fandom or even personal projects they're involved in? Would the thread get deleted for being a dump or would it stay because it has discussion?

>>27656

>If you're worried about anons coming in and only making porn dump then this won't change anything other than being able to delete threads a lot faster.

I believe there is more to it, but that's half the point anyway. Dumps bumping off other threads is a problem considering the speed of the board. They take forever to fall off and are so easy to bump without effort they can stay around longer.

Also, if people have to be conscious that a thread will be deleted/saged if it is just a porn dump then some should be inclined to try and present it in a way to start discussion, should they not?

There are three points I'd like to hit, if possible. Keeping the number of dumps/fetish threads on the board managed, giving enough room for one to grow into furry discussion/content creation, and keeping the priority of discussion on people's minds. I want to work that out in an agreeable way before making any decision.

>The same applies to threads like the femboy and X character threads

The femboy thread is actually an example of the opposite. It was made a while ago and the OP was told to check the general instead. Then it got bumped later by someone else and they were told the same thing. Then some more rebellious folks came later and continued to bump it, and it still gets bumped. As much as I personally love femboys, it's just an extra dump and it's hard to see possible discussion in it having anything specifically to do with furry unless it's artist talk.

>In the case of X character threads, they might turn into discussion, but not always at once. It might take a few weeks, even a month, or never at all, but the chance is there.

Of course, I did mention one myself, though it's not a dump at all. Generally they aren't inherently dumps. They have to be introduced as such or immediately dumped in by the OP. A few images wouldn't be enough to jump on it as such, though anons should consider making them about the series first.

>If you do go through with this rule, what if an fetish dump thread talks a lot about artist and writers in the fandom or even personal projects they're involved in? Would the thread get deleted for being a dump or would it stay because it has discussion?

It would stay.

Alternatively, what if there was a max number of dumps/fetish threads allowed on the board (beside the generals), and if another is added the rule will begin to apply to one of them?

>Alternatively, what if there was a max number of dumps/fetish threads allowed on the board (beside the generals), and if another is added the rule will begin to apply to one of them?

Sounds complicated and very hard to communicate with the kind of people who make dump threads. Is there a way to push an anchored thread to the bottom so that good threads aren't 404'd? Or maybe just keep a buffer area where anchored threads near the bottom get deleted instead of good threads 404ing?

>>27659

>some rebellious folks came later and bumped it

>rebellious

we already had told people that the femboy thread would be okay after the meta thread about relaxing rules, we specifically talked about letting the thread be as long as it had activity and to merge it to the general if it didnt. There wasnt anyone "rebelling" by making it more active and >>27656 is right about it taking weeks or months for any thread.

Going back on something that was already discussed and agreed on is bad form and will make anons lower their opinion on the moderation (and the board)

Jumping to delete and bumplocking so many threads last time nearly killed the board, a grace period of 2days or even a week to talk about "relevant" shit is wishful thinking, the board isnt that active. We still dropped to 0PPH recently.

Maybe in the beginning when /furry/ users first migrated the board was more active and bustling but a lot of those anons have left and it's been squandered by bad and outright autistic decisions, to push everyone into mod-approved generals (not user-approved, which is a big difference.) and to shut down discussions because it wasnt "relevant".

>max dump threads

you will never get this to work so dont even try. the only thing this will do is turn off users from the board who either A) didnt get the first-dump first-serve treatment, so all future dumps are deleted or B) got someone elses dump shoved off the board. both of options are just going to get the users to hate the mods and the other users.

>>27664

No way to hard anchor threads instantly to the bottom, anchored threads have to work their way through the catalog and every time a thread is bumped the anchored thread slides one more notch as far as I know.

Early 404 was proposed as a solution a while ago to deal with these sorts of threads from taking up space of another. The only difference to that and what we do now is that we do the same thing as early-404 manually, by saging and deleting the threads later so theres a little buffer.

For reasons unknown, we're still not using the early 404 option. yet we have >>20374 sitting at 0 replies at page 11.

>>27664

Does it? Problem is with the type of people who usually make dumps is that they probably haven't checked the rules or etiquette to begin with. It's a furry board so they expect porn dumps to be the norm. Granted that's an assumption.

>Is there a way to push an anchored thread to the bottom so that good threads aren't 404'd?

Practically, no. A script could theoretically do it, but that would inflate the post count.

>Or maybe just keep a buffer area where anchored threads near the bottom get deleted instead of good threads 404ing?

That's a possibility

>>27676

Have the courtesy to finish our conversation in mod chat before arguing with me here. I don't want this thread to become a mess because we are on different pages.

I noticed some boards have tags, are those editable yet?

Oops. I didn't notice those were reset after the hack. I'll add them back.

yup

>>28543

The second one is cleaned up among others, but were going to leave the 1st link for now since its still ontopic. We know that it's partially off topic too with the political slant but not every part of a post has to be replied to. more often than not it's better not to bite the bait and it could be ignored, the thread can continue normally.

So Bell is the only person in the admin of this board with a known username right?

>>28755

Is Bell known outside of the board tho?

There was a few other mod names dropped in a discord chat months ago but thats it. Do we need to know their names?

>>29023

I don't think so because they always refer to themselves as "we" so they act and answer as a group.

It seems we're no longer constantly trending.

>>30177

Actually it's because our active users have gone past the threshold of "underdog board on the front page" we hover at 140 now instead of 100. 140 being potentially 0.9% of the entire IPv4 internet.

>>30177

Saying that Discord helps the board to grow each five minutes IS RETARDED since the only place where people will mention the discord page is on /fur/ and it distract the users from posting here. People are trying to shill their shitty discords by claming it will help the board somehow.

Is not a real suggestion to help, is shameless shilling.

>>30177

>There are 10 billion rules

>/fur/ - 5 rules that are pretty much "no derail and spam"

>/v/ - 10 rules

>>30180

>>30104

Fun fact;

Since the beginning of the migration off /furry/ people have been saying the same thing about the board, but users were more condensed into a smaller number of threads so posts were seen by everyone, since /fur/ has a full catalog now people are spread out and just because someone hides a thread they dont like doesnt mean theres no activity going on. the most activity is always in the Yiff.Party thread

>tfw furries used to be third on the board list

you fucked it up everyone

good job being a bunch of assholes.

/trash/ is just so much more comfy without people losing their minds over minor rule infractions and being generally uncomf.

we should get a discord tho

>>27659

To be fair, the entirety of 8chan exists solely as a rebellion against the SJW faggotry of 4chan.

>>30328

It's been fucked up.

But leftypol and Reddit turned this from a place full of autists to a place full of special snowflake safespace autists.

So people stopped coming here.

>>30427

This board is at 160 right now, it didn't reach this number since a good time actually, this traffic is fucked compared to last year because of the spam wave and that puppysky abandoned /furry/ to rot.

When people started to move to /fur/ the damage was already done.

>>30651

Isn't it just easier and quicker to make your post in the new window and then close it?

Mother of fuck; I'm getting 404s threads across the entire site, and even some whole boards aren't working.

The fuck is going on??

Huh, was kemo deployed? Because some of yesterday's posts are missing.

>>31056

>>31723

>deleting the natural flow of a conversation in a thread

>HWRRR STAY ON TOPIC

>OP was obvious low effort bait anyway

I mean, whatever really, but I think the appropriate response to anyone complaining about it would have been "filter and ignore, carry on with however you feel the discussion should progress".

>>31766

It garnered 5 reports not even political derails get that much and complaints in the thread itself.

The thread topic is shallow, but it became centered around someone's opinion on women. Better it sinks or has a chance to turn into something decent than to have it continuously bumped with an aggressive off-topic argument like that.

The sheer number of posts to that effect makes it unrealistic to filter unless IDs are on, and activating IDs in a thread to filter one argument is a misuse of the feature. Also too many people are eager to latch onto the bait.

>>31771

>It garnered 5 reports not even political derails get that much and complaints in the thread itself

Sigh. I can imagine why. While I will grudgingly admit that thread may not have been the best place to talk about it, it was still a perfectly valid point of discussion given some of the other posts that preceded the deleted posts. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, causes butthurt like someone venturing non-standard opinions on gender dynamics, so I suppose I should have seen it coming, but I was not going to let the people who would shout it down with cries of "Misogyny!" go unchallenged. They've been unchallenged too long, frankly.

>activating IDs in a thread to filter one argument is a misuse of the feature

Perhaps, but I don't think having IDs on everywhere would be a bad thing, really - helps prevent confusion and nips people manufacturing consensus by replying to themselves in the bud. IDs aren't the same thing as namefagging, and can be a valuable administrative tool for isolating stupid shitstirrers from people who are actually looking for a conversation/debate but simply happen to have controversial opinions.

I'm sure if you turned IDs on you'd have people complaining, but I personally think those people are either barking up the wrong trees anyway or are part of the "worthless shitstirrer" group to begin with.

>>32045

I don't care about IDs at all but I think the mods should choose the option that would attract more people to the board, this is a 3 digit board so unlike /pol/ or /b/ it don't need more features to "avoid confusion" since there is not so much people talking in the same thread.

>>32054

>I don't care about IDs at all but I think the mods should choose the option that would attract more people to the board

Do be careful what you wish for. I would honestly rather have a smaller population of not-retards than a huge population of mostly retards that drown out the not-retards with shitposting and cheap bait. (Yes, I know asking for not-retards in the furry fandom is a tall order at times.)

>>32056

I agree, and to be honest I think /fur/ qualitywise is far better than /furry/ used to be, but a small board is fragile.(though /furry/ moderation got super lazy in their last year before the spam wave)

First /fur/ needs to be THE furry board(since /trash/ is just a porn dump) so the users will never leave(furfags never abandon big communities, just look how FA can do whatever they want) and just then mods can focus in improving the content without fear of alienate the users.

>>32045

IDs are not fullblown namefagging but it's sure a step in that direction. IDs keep track of posters unless they're VPN hopping.

We could always use flags in place of IDs but most flagfags get shitposting in return.

>A FUCKING LEAF

>>32060

Flags are cancer, it brings ad hominem everywhere, also it only makes sense in boards like /pol/, /int/ and /news/ where global politics is the topic.

>>32045

>>32054

Opt-In IDs are a feature available on the board, if you haven't noticed. ~ at the beginning of a thread's subject lets a bot append IDs to each post.

>>32057

>I think /fur/ qualitywise is far better than /furry/ used to be,

Under what metric? This board is complete shit compared to /furry/ even during a lot of the spam.

Maybe 5 bickering shitposts by a pair of faggots every day with maybe 1-2 posts talking about actual furry stuff a week.

>>32262

>This board is complete shit compared to /furry/ even during a lot of the spam.

No.

/furry/ was fucking shit at their last year, every thread was spammed by dozens shitposts in a row like "lets yiff, give me telegram", the only active threads were copies from lulz.net, also /furry/ was pretty much /b/ 2.0 with half of threads being contentless shit like "would you anon?" or "I love [insert random character]"

Even banifag threads are better than almost anything /furry/ used to make on their last days.

>>32266

The difference between 'lets yiff' and a 7 paragraph bitchfest about gender rolls is that one could actually be considered semi-furry.

>>32270

The difference is:

>the gender bullshit was derail while the lets yiff was copypasta spam

>the gender derail only happened once, while the yiff telegram fag was everywhere

>/furry/ mods didn't delete the shit.

>>32761

/furry/

/fp/ is fine, just like /vp/.

>>32761

Making a second board for porn generals runs the risk of diving us into smaller pieces. Not sure if it's a good idea considering there's only an averaging of a hundred anons at the moment. On the other hand, the discussion threads wouldn't get out-shined by the porn dump and hopefully it would stop anons from mindlessly dumping porn in certain threads, like the digimon thread.

If you're going to go through with it, then I say the board should be called /fp/ because the less letters the better.

>>32798

What difference between already choosing between /furry/ and /trash/ and a /fur/porn/ board would it be. Why wouldnt people just go back as soon as a rule like this dropped on them overnight.

>>32798

I don't think the risk is all that high. Some of our lewd threads do fit in here, and the second board would only be for porn. Even anons who only see furry as a collection of fetishes need more than that at times.

>>32805

It would be an 8chan furry-only board with moderation and our scripts for protection/convenience.

Also I didn't say anything about a rule. A rule on porn wouldn't follow immediately after launching the child board. The board would be pointed out, monitored, and decisions made on what develops.

Banners work now. We gonna update them?

>>32827

Yup

>>32761

No, we must stay together, /fur/ already cover all furry content.

>>32906

There should be no real division. The child board is to have a place for the excessive or tangential porn content and dumps, not to scrub /fur/ of porn in general. Recall the explicit description of this board.

>>32761

I like /heat/, it conveys it's purpose more clearly.

>>32921

You're pulling the exact same thing as Nadeo did with Trackmania 2. It doesnt matter if its an "official" board its still splitting the community and splitting the activity and guess what, that killed all of their game servers as soon as they tried it.

TM2 was a huge failure because they ended up segregating the users and most people just went back to TMU where they could all be together, it's not going to play out any different on an imageboard.

>>32809

>An 8ch furry only board.

We already have those.

>Our scripts for protection

>People are going to want to go through being WL again when it was already turning users off from posting on /fur/ in the first place

Any other thoughts on either name?

>>33038

I don't know if there's some unmentioned detail about Trackmania 2 that draws the parallel, but you just repeated "it will split the community" in more words. That worry has been raised twice and given responses, so respond to those.

>We already have those

/trash/ was mentioned

>People are going to want to go through being WL again when it was already turning users off from posting on /fur/ in the first place

Clearly not many were deterred, aided by little to no reason to be. The WL is a trivial affair.

>>33083

The WL is only needed during spam attacks. When an attack arises you simply need to whitelist every post(er) before the first spam post and nuke the rest.

Opinion is tied at the moment so we'll just go with /fp/

>>>/fp/

>>33105

The problem with that is you still need to add newcomers, and finding the place where the spam first started can take time if it's a wannabui style attack.

Still, it would be helpful to employ so I'll see about implementing it.

>>33446

Well you have to find the first post anyways when carpetbombing. Just say "the whitelist is disabled" in big bold letters so people stop spreading misinformation.

I noticed a lot of political posts being deleted. Is that going to become a rule like "no inciting political arguments" or something?

>>34756

It's not going to become a new rule, but inciting political arguments often leads into violating rule 3.

>3. No excessive, low-effort, irredeemable shitposting or derailment.

Derailment is a big issue on the board, but political derailment is often the worst due to how reactionary responses tend to be and how long arguments last. The end result is a few anons going back and forth, arguing about a topic which isn't related to the thread or board, and never coming to a conclusion. Threads die with anons unable to continue through the politics and leaving. There are places to discuss politics, but /fur/ is not one of them.

That's not to say every political post is banned, but it at least needs to be on-topic and not an essay about how X is shit and why we need Y. There's also no major punishment if derailment happens, but if they can't take a hint after they've been told to stop or their posts have been deleted, then a temp ban will most likely happen.

What happened to ServiceBot?

>>35464

Still exists, but service bot is a workaholic so sometimes servicebot just passes out, stops working and needs a nudge to wake back up.

>>35470

Dealing with 8chan's shitty servers all day is a tough job, and all SB wants is a headpat now and then.

Do we have any idea how to... MAKE THIS BOARD LESS DEAD?

I wish I could go back to Cuckchan but I got permabanned by a rogue mod

>>35585

More n8 porn and more yiff.party

>>35666

I think the fursoña template thread would at least be a good way to get lurkers to participate and help our 8chan stats

>>35666 (Satan Checked)

I think we would need a banner ad on Furaffinity, but with enough info to keep out normalfags.

IE "A cold, hard twist to the furry fandom that will keep you cozier than a fur coat. Welcome to /fur/!"

>>35799 (Dubs Checked)

Actually, who cares if we 'keep out normalfags'? They'll leave if they don't like this board, which many probably will. And more normalfags come in, they may transform into... non-normalfags... with some time.

We should just search for all types of people.

>>35800

Because most of FA is cancer. If we do buy an ad, we shouldn't link to the site. Refer to it as "the other chan", or maybe "fullchan".

>>35830

At this point, it doesn't even matter.

The cancer would come to this board, then a good deal of it would leave, leaving us with more good anons too.

There are quite some cool Furaffinity users.

>>36335

Yeah, I suppose that's how all waves of new users work. Now who's going to pay for it?

>>36335

>The cancer would come to this board, then a good deal of it would leave, leaving us with more good anons too.

Depends on what your definition of what, "good anons" is. If you ask me we're still stuck with some cancerous faggots.

>>36473

This board is a community.

As long as we ALL can express ourselves within reason, then it's fine.

No hipsters censoring normalfags.

No normalfags censoring hipsters.

No extreme shitposting or war from any side.

When's this board's anniversary?

>>36724

I agree, but it would be very nice if we got anons who aren't so political or make /r9k/ tier posts all the time. It just annoys everyone and brings down the whole board.

>>36824

No one knows who the original board owner is or when the current BO managed to acquire /fur/. The anniversary could be the day /fur/ beat wannibui with the whitelist since that's when the board started to really take off.

>>36880

>wannabui

>when everybody even the kike owner at /v/ knows it was actually bui

Stop this shit meme

>>37365

On the contrary you stupid piece of shit, NOT knowing that Bui did it is the hallmark of newfaggotry. The spam on /furry/ sometimes literally had his fucking name on it. Pair that with a telegram chat where he admitted he did it that was being posted constantly and deleted right afterwards. It even said he knew mods at /furry/ which is why it kept being deleted and hidden.

The facts are that he got in good with the mods and then destroyed the board because he couldn't get his poopy paws RP going. And if the people who run this place have any fucking common sense they will immediately blacklist and block him from having anything to do with this board or it will end up the same way.

>>37574

Claiming you're someone doesn't make you that person.

Posting chats on programs where you can change your name and not verifying the owner and other details isn't evidence.

Supposedly claiming you're doing something on an anonymous image board, but denying it in person and on the site doesn't make sense does it, anon? But I guess you wouldn't know.

Helping the board owner make the scripts that fight the spam doesn't add up too, but I guess you wouldn't know that either.

Gee, anon, you don't know a lot of things do you? You should probably ask some questions and give a shit about verifying what you read.

> i just wanted to let you know in case it was one mod dismissing the reports and not known to the rest of you or something

Ah, actually it was. I didn't know he was doing that, but I wanted to talk to you about thread anyway. Thanks for bringing it up and I'll talk to the mod about it.

Any thoughts on a "no /pol/" rule?

>>>/sudo/44368

>>38340

I don't think there's a need. Getting overly political falls under being off-topic, and there's a rule about constantly inciting derailment.

>>38410

Silly, but it could be fun. Though, I worry about the ad attracting shitposters more than people legitimately interested.

Let me know what you guys think of it.

>>38437

>>38410

>Let me know what you guys think of it.

No sir I don't like it.

>>38437

>>38438

True, I don't think there's any people who'd be interested in this board who don't already know about it.

>>38444

i prefer SFW too myself but if furry porn repulses you then maybe you should change the board

>>38446

This board was fine until /furry/ came along and fucked it all up.

I'm not repulsed by lewd things, I'm repulsed by hyper degenerate fetishes and a constant barrage of nothing but porn.

>>38448

>le evil /furry/ boogeyman

post discarded

>>38449

I see that you came from /furry/.

>>38450

that is true, but blaming everything you dislike on /furry/ is childish at best

besides, /fur/ had a pathetic post count before /furry/ moved onto here. do you really think it would be better if you stayed as a closed circlejerk?

>>38444

Maybe just a "spoiler nsfw" in the next one. Also, we should rename the drawthread and art thread as "drawfag request" and "drawfag improvement" respectively to avoid confusion.

>>38451

I don't want to derail this so I won't continue this line of conversation past this post, but that's a faulty argument. Quality > quantity, and you're acting as if /furry/ dying is the only way the board would have ever gotten more traction. You're also throwing out "circlejerk" without foundation when the board has always been gradually growing and seeking to develop a larger userbase. Is a board a circlejerk because it's smaller than another now? Don't be silly.

/furry/ anons did end up helping the place out, but we do have to mitigate old habits and strive for a better board.

>>38452

spoilering might be helpful, and while those aren't the names I'd use clarifying the titles is probably a good idea.

>>38451

>do you really think it would be better if you stayed as a closed circlejerk

It WAS better to me.

If you want a post count then go to /trash/ and tell me how it's a better board. People used to come here pre-exodus because they wanted to escape /furry/'s faggotry in one form or another, this board was very tame and relatively SFW compared to what it is now.

>>38452

>Maybe just a "spoiler nsfw"

I don't think that approach would change much. Even then you'd be reading request after request after request and all of them asking for some fetish to be fulfilled. I suppose it's an improvement if you don't have to look at hyper dicks and fatfurs while you do it.

>>38453

That doesn't really work from my experience. I've dug through similar drawthreads before and filled requests, but the only thing that happened is that there was no decent requests left because I filled the only one. There's hardly anyone drawing anything at all yet people keep on requesting the same kind of stuff.

>>38457

It's funny, because in /trash/, only the niche fetishes get drawn because the rest are "boring".

>>38455

enclosed communities usually turn into circlejerks, especially if there's barely a community and the catalog has like 10 threads on it.

>>38457

that is true, actually. /trash/ used to be great and it's god-awful now.

still, there is nothing wrong with people from /furry/ coming here. what do you suppose they do, stay on their bot spammed board?

>>38457

>That doesn't really work from my experience. I've dug through similar drawthreads before and filled requests, but the only thing that happened is that there was no decent requests left because I filled the only one. There's hardly anyone drawing anything at all yet people keep on requesting the same kind of stuff.

If that's the case I suppose it wouldn't hurt to make the SFW version and see what develops. Experimenting is better than stomaching the norm.

>>39571

Please yes, I can't stand /leftypol/'s incessant pushing for every board they leak onto to become politically correct. Someone gets triggered by non-pc speak and the thread always devolves into /pol/ vs /leftypol/.

>>39571

No major problem, though threads like its been a problem in are shit to start with, as I've already said once prior when this same type of deal came up.

I'd recommend anchoring, or deleting.

Il use the same example I used last time: The humans and furries thread had several times devolved into politics, only to climb back and use those as boosts in a lot of ways.

Threads with no potential for discussion beyond political fuckery, like the ones this has been an issue in, are going to be trash dead threads without it, anyway, so there is really not much harm in cutting them off.

I'm not really for banning the lot mostly because it's really fucking hard not to reply to before, ' least for me.

>>38437

This is also a really good point, right here. If it ain't on topic, get rid of it, and be done with the issue. No need to really specify, it could be a derail about welding.

>>39571

I'm completely okay with this, nothing good has ever come from discussing politics outside of places dedicated to political discussion; nobody is going to a furry board on a taiwanese picture screening to seek political enlightenment or to be swayed one way or the other.

>>39571

Yes please.

>>39578

You're part of the problem.

>>39590

>it totally wasn't /leftypol/ that shitposted you-know-which thread since the very first post

>it totally wasn't a /leftypol/ reject who had to be warned by the BO itself for his rampant politics shitposts over getting triggered by non-pc posts just yesterday

Yeah, no.

>>39571

Thank you, this was a fantastic decision.

>>39604

>When you start banning everyone from even discussing something without being a sperging shitter

>without being a sperging shitter

But everyone who brings up real politics where it doesn't belong is exactly that.

>>39571

No, politics is fun.

>>39590

The left calls anyone who opposes them as being "reactionary" for a reason. Even they implicitly acknowledge that they strike first, therefore they are an issue. Twitter tards are cancer.

>>39571

I think that as long as the political topics are directly related to the fandom and kept to their own threads then it really isn't a problem. It's actually neat to have a place where furs can discuss this with one another and see where the other side is coming from- in a furry context. People are going to unnecessarily keep starting political shit at cons and getting bans from (insert website here), who knows what things will happen, and it's important that we have a space to ourselves to discuss those things.

IRRELEVANT political shit, though, has to go. We aren't lulz.

>>39604

This guy's got it pretty well, I'd say.

>>39650

That's largely because the "fandom infighting" thread was trash, and not worth caring about in the slightest.

It would've, without the politics, fallen off near immediately , with next to no posts, because it's a boring, irrelevant, and dull topic, that the vast majority here don't really give a fuck about because I'd be willing to wager most of us don't actually consider ourselves a part of the "fandom", 'least not the greater fandom as a whole.

I think having their own thread is fine. Dragging /pol/ and /leftypol/ into an unrelated thread and watching it devolve into shitslinging is the issue. Perhaps the rule should be "inciting a political disagreement".

>>39653

When you think about it, they are basically "look what stupid things happened at a convention" threads. Why isn't the news posted in the convention general thread where there is already something of substance to discuss? That would impede derail and if one starts it can be deleted without essentially removing the only thing to talk about.

>>39691

I'm not saying it should be banned, I'm saying it was a trash thread, with a trash topic that most of us here don't give a flying fuck about.

I'm saying that without the politics, it would've just simply dropped off, because nobody would care enough to post in it.

>>39718

Good question. What ever happened to consolidating threads? We used to be big on that.

>>39722

>What ever happened to consolidating threads? We used to be big on that.

It was toned down a lot in worry that users found consolidating shallow threads (the added moderation despite the reason) to be a turn off, and I've been waiting to see if users would adapt if they were simply given advice on what would be better. And what I've seen is that the few who don't care keep shitty threads on the catalog and encouraging more of the same kind of posting.

So now's a good time to ask, how many of you actually felt uncomfortable with us maintaining the catalog that way?

>>39765

I don't care if it drove people away who came from /furry/.

Most of /furry/ was cancer.

It was such a bad board, I never fucking used it.

It was literally porn, only porn, with straight shaming along top. A terrible board, with no discussion. We're doing far, far better. The human and furries thread is probably the best example of this.

Everyone outside views /fur/ as a shithole because they equate it with /furry/, and besides that, equate it with furries.

>>39849

not him

>/furry/ wasn't that bad

yes it was. /fur/ is more of the same but more pretentious and political now. which the latter wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that both the liberal and conservative sides are represented by shills who samefag and stir the pot and never have anything meaningful to say. i post about politics all day every day elsewhere but you'll never see me do it here because i'll be wasting my breath on a literal kike who isn't here to talk.

anyway what was i saying uh

oh yeah

okay first off i'm gay right so i don't really have a stake in this cause it didn't affect me but that breeder stuff wasn't just some little nothing that's being blown out of proportion, it was hundreds of guys (/furry/ was huge at that time) and they were spamming any straight thread with that shit and any post mentioning heterosexuality even outside of straight porn threads too. they'd spam gay porn alongside it.

and even though i had no stake in it i was so pissed off by their faggotry that i brought it up to blue and he banned it and you could report them and have it deleted pretty quickly. all was well until puppysky made it an anarchy, but by that point the board had lost so many users that yeah it really did become a non-issue.

anyway fuck gays - quote from gay man

>>39849

I'm rather opposed to cyclic threads. Plus, that reason is fucking gay as shit.

/furry/ next to if not flatly never had any kinds of discussion. It was an overglorified e621, with a bunch of assholes who'd go to straight threads and whine.

And I do believe it was more than shitposting. I ain't talking some trashy single shitposts of "breeder", here, these people'd walk in to straight threads and start bitching and moaning about things, and fairly often start dumping their gay trash in the threads. It was cancer. Worse still, if you tried to call out the faggots for the lot, you'd end up derailing the thread entirely to be about 'homophobia' and 'bigotry', even though they're the ones walking in to a straight thread.

>>39849

>And /furry/ wasn't that bad.

If you're talking about the early years then sure it was alright, but when /furry/ had 500~450 active IPs it was a shithole. Drawthreads were full of shitposting and derails. Faggots across the whole board were assholes and if you ever called them out on their shit then you would be called thin-skinned, or bitched about hugboxes and echochambers. Chronic shitposters were never dealt with and were able to do as they pleased across the whole board. The most active thread was the F-list thread and that's because it was nothing but drama and fighting over who knows what. The most discussion on the whole board was about drama or cringe. Out of all the boards I visited on this site /furry/ had to be the most mean-spirited and filled with nothing but /r9k/-tier posting whenever you weren't visiting a porn general. Everyone who didn't want to deal with that shit fled to /trash/ and are staying there because of it. They don't care if they have to deal with cuckchan because they rather not deal with the faggots who terrorized /furry/. The only ones who didn't go to /trash/ are anons who don't want to visit cuckchan out of principle.

>>39885

I was here for then. We did not lose anyone of value, you ask me.

Further, we are better than /furry/ was, regardless of whatever cancer you want to spew.

There's been several good threads full of discussion. The ones talking about mascots, for instance, have been building some rather interesting lore and the ilk around our odd characters we've got. Some of the threads discussing OCs have brought up some excellent discussion on color combinations, schemes, and what makes a 'sparkledog'. I'd say you're blind, mate.

>. Barely anyone posts here anymore

We've got enough people. Plenty of folk do post here still. I'm not inclined to give a flying fuck about the loss of cancerous /furry/ faggots who just wanted a place to fap. They can go to e621, if they want that.

>This hasnt brought any discussion activity back,

Discussion activity is already here, you're just a blind fucking autist who wants /furry/'s literally no discussion at all.

>bumplocks or deletions

ARound political bullshit, yeah.

Did you want to be discussing politics on a furry board? I would've thought that's what /leftypol/ is for, you fucking cuckold.

What was wrong with the furry game thread? It was perfectly fine. People were discussion Angels with Scaly Wings because someone was kind enough to actually post a link to the full game, and the game was good enough to have some real substance behind it that could encourage discussion.

What did you want, instead? More of the trashy porn-request threads we were getting?

I think you might be a cancerous faggot, anon.

>>39890

In his defense, it was very unclear of exactly what sort of enforcement we were like to be looking at.

If it's just doing the same shit you're already doing, I see no reason to oppose it. Though, as someone else's said, we do already have a rule about off topic whatnot anyway.

>>39891

I intended to respond earlier to >>39581 that the rule was more about context so we can act more swiftly on those shallow threads, not about handling derail any differently. However, the anon I'm addressing now went unreasonably far and wide off the mark in his assertions and claims. Thinking of how to address that distracted me, although I did further things a little as anon.

>>39933

>>39933

who else should be banned besides speedy?

>>39933

I go by Bell. I guess it doesn't hurt to use the name more often for ease of reference.

Who else have you seen being an issue?

>>39936

I'm pretty sure that eeriefag/salos are still around but I don't think they're as much of an issue as they issued to be.

Thanks for actually moderating the board unlike puppysky, by the way. Really appreciate it.

>>39943

He had to be banned a few times when he started shitposting around the board. Lately he's been relatively chill and sticks to the Telemonster thread.

And no problem, just doing my job. The other mods, too.

>>39961

I personally had no issue with it, even though I've never read a VN before.

>>39961

>the problem is they talked about something I don't like for longer than I liked

>they were never told to stick to the general and there is plenty of vidya on the board with their own threads, but this is totally proof of obsession over compressing topics and that it's bad

Seriously man?

>>39966

Didn't mean to post that with cap, but whatever

>>39933

A 'couple' of people can still trash a board. Though, I've not seen our local BO fail much. He got rid of that one obsessive guy, and is putting flak on that one leftypol type.

I've not seen many other people beyond the eerie guy what needed the boot.

Maybe that one guy who was rather obnoxious in anything relating to humans, but I haven't actually seen him around in a long while.

>>39961

<we're worse off because of my own confirmation bias

Board still seems active to me, mate.

Those were two that quickly came to mind. On top of the humanity lot, I'd add. I'd also stick in the furry game thread, our art and draw threads, and the lit thread.

I've not really partook in all that many beyond there, to say. 'Least outside of more light empty threads. But those ones seem solid.

The fact that people're discussing a game is what is wrong with the thread? Frag off, faggot.

People could've discussed other games. There was just very little to be said about most the other games, on top of that most folk have not played those. AwSW was posted, full game, in the thread. Naturally people're going to discuss what they can actually get with their hands.

Besides that, when discussion was over, it changed back to the standard shit. It's the same jazz it was before now.

AwSW only takes up half the thread because the full game was posted for free, and it turned out to be interesting enough to maintain a conversation. Something any of the other games could do, if people'd do the same, and it was interesting enough.

>Feedback would be greatly appreciated, as it helps the board strive more.

>>40128

worded weirdly?

>>40164

I respectfully disagree. Do /pol/ shitters' dumbass opinions get a free pass?

>>40166

Its not that. If it was /pol/yps I would have said the same thing. It just happens to be an easily identifiable person by their overuse of the same exact drivel and I'm sorry if it seemed like I was trying to make a political statement because I wasn't. I was just trying to give the board owner an easy way to identify this problem poster.

>>40164

I see your point, but even then I'm not sure how detached it could get from politics when given a whole thread, considering how ingrained it is. Also it doesn't exactly look to be a subject that can be drawn out like that, making for an easy derail. Granted I can't be certain about the ways a thread can turn.

How about we test it? Tomorrow we can delete the derail and remove further political posts, then watch what happens.

>>40166

He said /leftypol/ guys start it, but that the politics in general hold it back from better discussion. Neither side will get favor in this test.

>>40169

A way to differentiate between debate and pure politics is the mention of any side in particular. For instance in that thread you could say something like "destruction of property is wrong" or "haha, cringey symbols getting rpasted" depending on what side of the debate you're on. But when you start saying things like "aut right faggots get rekt" or "typical liberal disregard for free speech" then you've put a politcal spin on it and I think it needs to be culled. You can have an opinion that you attribute to your personal views, not to a side of the stupid ass red vs blue pillow fight.

>>40164

There is definitely one leftyautist around, who routinely explodes threads I've noticed.

I think he's the same guy from /furry/ near the end, too. Similar posting habbits, shit arguments and a lot of dodging around.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, though.

For the record, not /pol/ myself. Collectivists are cancer, all around. I do think, however, that /pol/ seems to keep it in their pants a bit more than, at least, this guy does.

>>40200

>>40164

/leftypol/ folk are making a collective effort to shill here and in other chan boards for sure. Take a look at this thread:

https://lulz.net/furi/res/3470730.html

They stated that they're compiling a blacklist towards anyone who doesn't agree with them.

>>40215

Sounds like everyone in that thread is in agreement. It's actually pretty comfy.

Maybe we should wait for another thread like it to show up for the test, actually. Would enough people be interested in discussing the past topic now?

>>40224

I don't think this is something you can conduct a few tests with and be done. It has to be observed for a few months before coming to a conclusion. Anyway, I'm pretty sure everyone has lost interest in that thread, but if someone can spark some conversation in it then that would be neat.

>>40217

I've thinking that those folk were likely responsible for the spam attack that occurred in /furry/ as well. They weren't part of /leftypol/ though, just a off-site political group who have tried to DDOS the site beforehand.

U18chan was attacked during that time and /furry/ used to get flack on for being a "nazi" site before. /leftypol/ was targeted as well, but they were probably perceived as "nazi" due to their anti-identity politics stance. That has changed though.

You can disregard what I said as it's a theory as there is no proof, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're the culprits.

why was my request deleted in the draw thread?

>>40242

It was? When was that and what was the request?

>>40249

how about i just repost it then lol

thanks

>>40253

not sure what happened, must have been some glitch. or the mod undeleted it.

either way i deleted the first one myself now, sorry about that

One of those threads popped up. I retain my doubts this can go anywhere for long without the politics, and that even if it does it won't be very furry related, but let's see.

>>40305

It's just /leftypol/ shilling again. Those folks wouldn't give up unless if you ban them like /v/ does.

Thanks to the anon who tried to keep the thread on rails. We stepped in and deleted the derail, also banning the two who were going at it the worst. (One of whom posted again through tor, which does him no favors. The bans aren't long to begin with either.)

Some posts that remain are a bit questionable, but there isn't much left otherwise, so let us know if you have further concerns.

>>40604

Something I should mention is that tor posts are likely to be deleted in that thread for the duration of the ban. Sorry for the inconvenience.

>>40604

I really tried my best but I was going against an unstoppable force of stupid. Or two stupids I guess. Sorry that it couldn't work out.

I do have a concern but its not about that thread and sorry if you answered it already but, does this board not have a spoiler thumbnail? I made a post in the draw thread and spoilered it, and noticed the thumbnail is not there. Sorry if you already answered this question somewhere. Thank you for doing your job and keeping the shitflingers out.

thank you for being nice to me, mods

no other mods ever have

So /sl/ is dead as fuck. Would there be interest here for a SecondLife General, or would it be more fit for /fp/ instead?

>>41141

/fp/ is a meme, pretty much no one uses it.

>>41141

We had one a long time ago, but it didn't take off since there weren't many users. If the OP doesn't scream "This is all about porn, do nothing but dump sl lewds and jerk off with me!" then it's probably fine making a new one here. Could be fun for both RPfags and 3D artfags.

>>41158

>new board is a meme because it doesn't have lots of users yet

It's been growing and serves its purpose as a place for dumps

>>41170

"It doesn't have a lot of users" because it's meant to be a containment board.

Contaminating furry porn entirely will never work and while too much porn MAY degrade discussion, trying to separate it entirely will be counter productive and nearly impossible.

What good will bumplocking a certain gay thread meant for a certain subform of the gay because there's already a gay thread do? Femboy niggers and bara faggots don't work too well together, at least from what I've seen.

>>41771

Rood.

>>41178

Every board is a "containment" board. They're all places optimized for some purpose.

/fp/ is not an attempt to completely separate porn from /fur/. It's about giving dumps as well as essentially off topic fetish discussion its own place.

>What good will bumplocking a certain gay thread meant for a certain subform of the gay because there's already a gay thread do?

It prevents thread clutter and works against the perception the board is about posting what ever particular thing gets your rocks off rather than focusing on topics where the anthropomorphism actually matters.

If you want specific fetish stuff you go to a place geared for it. Would you argue it's fine for /v/ or /a/ to be filled with /vp/ or /h/ threads?

i genuinely cannot understand why people want porn threads at all. none of the content is original or rare. people post shit that you would find if you just searched the tag on FA and put "most recent". people take the most recent image from that tag and mirror it to porn threads. why don't people interested in that type of material just search it themselves? i've seen literally every picture in the /furry/ fart thread 20 times.

are they pandering towards retarded phone users that can't bother to log in to FA from their phones? i don't get it. are they trying to indoctrinate people who don't have that fetish and normally wouldn't search those tags? why?

are they trying to make friends there? people used to talk and tripfag in furry threads on /b/. why not just make a general chatting thread? why fill it with shitty porn everyone with a brain has already seen?

>>42750

actually a general chatting thread would be really nice. i've been using the "bump this thread every time you see it" thread for that purpose.

mods, can you make a general chatting thread for things not worth making their own separate threads about and make it cyclical?

>>42751

We could give that a shot. We had a chat thread a long time ago, though I think it had a somewhat specific subject.

>>42769

nice. do it fam. i'll post in it every day

>>42750

>are they trying to make friends there?

You're pretty close. Porn/fetish threads tend to spawn their own mini-communities beyond porn dumping if the right anons take part in them. It gives anons who have something in common a chance to gather so they can discuss the fetish itself, people who predominantly show up in it, share work that files under the radar, create content for the thread or even talk about something off-topic for the hell of it. It's actually pretty comfy if things take off. This doesn't really work in a general chatting thread because there's nothing connecting everyone together and it's even worse if someone what's to talk about or share something that could potentially be polarizing. So the porn/fetish is pretty much just a springboard to get things moving, assuming enough take part in it and don't mindlessly dump.

>>42784

The vore thread is like this

Thanks for the oc, 'sane

>>25183 (OP)

Mods, either apply the no politics rule fairly or don't apply it at all, it's complete bullshit that lefty politics is censored but the burned furs 2.0 muh degeneracy alt right shit isn't, especially when they start it like in the 'fur community' thread. Come on now.

>>42822

>/fur/ thread about furry community

>"I think furry community is great, but also /pol sucks and is filled with pedos like Milo #punchanazi"

>"Are you trying to stir shit up?"

>"FUCK YOU-WHOA, WTF MAN! WHY IS MY POST DELETED FOR DERAILMENT? NOT FAIIIIIIR."

You guys have no tact or common sense whatsoever.

Every time there's a thread, you start shit first, create a huge mess, and think you're in the right for doing so. You're narcissists who can't judge their own actions from an objective perspective. Children with the body of an adult.

Would anyone fault me for saging the STDs thread? The OP image is old convention news better brought up in the /convo/ thread or convention thread, and talking about stds is wholly off topic.

Also what about that secondary Bad Dragon thread? The BD/toy thread is still around and I already consider it somewhat of a stretch. There's no need for another one around some specific news. Any issue touching that?

>>43007

nuke that shit.

i love /convo/ already

>>43007

you should nuke the laufield thread too. not because i dislike drama, i love drama, but because laufield produces none. i can guarantee you as someone who was in a skype group thats soul purpose was to document and mock laufield that there is nothing one can say about that guy, he's uninteresting. he's deaf and his english is bad so he barely says anything at all. that thread is going to produce zero content.

>>43007

Sometimes it's good to start a new thread once the old one's gone stale. I recommend you bumplock the old one.

>>43124

Yeah, that's what we did

Also I'll let the thread about the bugchasers stay around as a PSA if anyone really hasn't seen the news, and because it should fall off if there's nothing more to be said about it, in theory. Although I'm still not sure about how it'll go.

>>42868

>What we've found, and what you have to come to terms with, is that the majority of the posts that "start it" are leftist in nature.

FUCKING THANK YOU.

Thank you for telling the truth. Every political derail on this board is the work of one single bullshit autist and it needs to stop. The only solution is to ban them, Bell.

>>43445

>from both sides

That's fucking horseshit and you know it. Take a stance, pussy.

>>43469

You are part of the problem.

>>43477

Eat shit you pussy faggot. You know exactly who is crashing your board and you won't do anything to stop them. Now nobody is allowed to talk about anything because you can't grow a pair of balls and take a stance against the problem. You can throw blame everywhere you want but the truth is whatever you think is contributing to the problem, your cowardice is the source of it. You're the cuckiest board owner I've ever seen. This place was supposed to be made for free speech, but I guess the rules are different here than everywhere else. You're a disgrace. You have no backbone and then you have the audacity to blame the users. I guess it only makes sense this is a dead board. And now that nobody is allowed to discuss anything other than dicks or STDs or a korean kids show, its going to be barren in weeks. You brought this on yourself, coward, don't you dare blame anybody else.

>>43488

mad cause you can't post your communist propaganda

I just saw the shitstorm in the list thread. I want to say I fully support your no politics rule. My only suggestion is when a derail happens in a thread that wasn't initially about politics, like say I don't know, a thread about furry music gets derailed by politics? You seem to just bumplock it, when what I'd do is just delete every political post in the thread and leave it up and if people have a problem with it, delete those posts too and direct them to the meta thread (where you can tell them to fuck off for breaking the no politics rule).

>>43445

how about you fuck off a little?

if you want to tone police and stop people from talking about things that only barely edge onto one direction or another you're being more of a cuckchan hotpocketeer than an 8chan mod.

however, you should only fuck off -slightly-, because you still have to keep order, stop SPAM, stop unrelated shitposting (ie: "hey guys lets have a gfur threa- FAGGOTS ARE ALL DEGENERATES 14/88 MUH /pol/) and over all make a place comfortable for anyone to discuss furry topics and post furry porn.

>>43511

the only imposing rule is don't talk about politics, it's a furfag board i don't know why you want to anyway, it's practically the one and only rule that's enforced and you think he's a hotpocket. he's not enough of a hot pocket if anything, if i was mod you wouldn't even know there's a communist shill shitposter in the first place because his posts would be gone in fifteen seconds.

>>43513

That commie shill poster is the only problem with this board's politics, that single poster, and Bell still refuses to ban them. Even though it would solve all problems and open up all discussion. I wonder (((why.)))

>>43518

if bell won't ban him, you could do the next best thing and you know, not reply? what the fuck is wrong with you guys wanting so badly to have a political argument with people that A.) you yourself acknowledge are shills and don't care to engage in fruitful debate and B.) will just get deleted or anchored anyway and anything you said will be read by nobody at all?

just shut the fuck up

my favorite shit man, people literally cannot not reply to shitposters. this communist guy should start using a tripcode and watch and see as people when given the option to filter him still don't and keep replying just as much as they do now.

and speaking of that, bell, if you're going to anchor the threads anyway, why not delete them on sight instead of waiting for them to become a cesspit? you knew what was going to happen in that thread, you said yourself that the OP was a piece of shit. it was a 100% chance that that was going to happen and you should have deleted it instead of letting it get a hundred posts giving people the false sense of politics being welcome here.

what i'm saying is if you see a new thread and think to yourself "i'm going to have to anchor this in a few days" just delete it right then, get it over with. this is just going to keep happening.

BAN ALL POLITIC POSTERS

GET THAT SHIT OUT OF MY FUCKING FURRY CARTOON PORN BOARD YOU SHIT EATING RETARDS GO ELSEWHERE

FUCK. OFF.

>>43509

In the past we probably bumplocked some seemed particularly too far gone, that I don't recall doing that recently. But yes, cleaning up like that is ideal. The Community thread is the most recent example of that.

>>43511

>tone police

>stop people from talking about things that only barely edge onto one direction or another

What are you talking about? Have you misunderstood why that thread was anchored?

>>43518

Where did you create the fantasy of a single person causing political derail? I said the majority of instigation or derail starts with leftist posts. Banning people for political posts in an easily politically charged thread is not fair without frequent warning, and neither will it fix a damn thing long term when the thread is so shallow there is little else to discuss.

You've yet to acknowledge that how you chose to set up the thread contributes to this.

When I addressed the derail and mentioned to your own post about the unnecessary politics, you acted like I was ready to delete the thread and said that the politics were an integral part of it. You presented your own agenda insisting we pick a political side to cater and supported the creation of a counter list, but had to gall to suggest you want "debate".

>>43528

>>43530

We've been running a test cleaning up these threads and testing if anything more can come of them. I didn't bother with this one because this anon gave me a solid understanding of their nature.

We should be quicker about deleting things after anchoring, but we tend to do that first so that our action isn't permanent at the moment of our decisions.

>Spoiler images others may find uncomfortable in threads where they aren't expected.

This is very vague, don't you think, Bell?

I think it should be specified what, like scat, humans, vore, outside of their respective threads.

The lefty shitposter is back.

Reports have been filed 1-2 minutes after the post had been made. Let's see how much it takes for the mods to remove them.

>>43762

><20 minutes

WEW LADS

I'm genuinely impressed.

>>43765

I'm surprised it doesn't take longer considering Bell is a leftist shithead himself.

>>43833

>stifles free speech

>doesn't allow debate

>can never make mistakes

>always has the "high ground"

>the sorry state of things he controls is the people participating in its fault, not his

Nigga you are as left as an oncoming lane. Sorry you don't like it when people call you out.

>>43836

Someone earlier said /furry/ was better than /fur/. And I'm inclined to agree with them, no offense to Bell, who is leaps and bounds better than PuppySky.

The reason /furry/ was better was because politics hadn't become a meme yet You know what you were doing before le kekistan based nigger wearing an MAGA hat started up and indoctrinated you and made you start following this fad? You were an apolitical braindead retard playing fucking video games. And you were a better poster for it.

Do you go to /pol/ to post furry? No? That's so weird! So why do you want to post your off-topic shit here?

>>43837

You weren't even a part of /furry/ if that's what you think, you blatantly lying triple nigger. It was the exact same as here, except we had porn threads other than pedoshit, and trannies and leftists were destroyed the second they tried to start their shit because Puppysky had done the brave thing and chosen a side. And the conversation and the board were all better for it.

>>43836

FUCK OFF WITH POLITICS YOU SHIT EATING KIKE NIGGER JEW FUCK

>>43838

I was there since day one, I'm the reason tripcodes were banned on /furry/ within a week of its incarnation, and there were a total of zero political threads. Hence /furry/ being better than /fur/.

>>43840

There were zero political threads because leftists were banned on sight, and guess which side doesn't constantly have to spew their shit in every single thread they go into like an out of tune trumpet straight to the eardrum? I wouldn't even be talking about politics if it didn't drive every single decision the board owner is making, which is fucking hilarious because of how much he says we shouldn't care. He himself says that leftists start all the problems, and yet he refuses to take a stance. That's why this place is always going to be shit, because he expects the cancer to just cure itself instead of slicing off the tumor so the rest of us can grow and talk about other shit.

>>43841

he just said last night he's going to start having a zero tolerance policy and ban political threads on-sight, and just today he demonstrated his seriousness about the matter by banning the commie shill so fast he wasn't even able to get replies, so calm the fuck down
