/liberty/ - Liberty

>>69011

what?

>>69018

The question is, why does the board owner enforce having a low amount of board rules?

>>69022

maybe he will answer you.

Because the way it goes on 8chan is you either have too much moderation or not enough. There is no middle ground, it is either black or white every single time. /leftypol/, /pol/ etc. have too much moderation to the point where you are banned for wrongthink, while /liberty/ and /k/ have so little moderation that our BOs and/or vols may as well not exist in the first place.

Admittedly both systems have flaws with /leftypol/ banning everyone disagreeing with them and /liberty/ being a quagmire of constant leftist shitposts, but at this time there is no solution to the problem.

Cause fuck you make your own board if you wanna be a stick in the mud

There is either too much moderation or barely any (just the right amount)

image boards are basically like markets, good posts will get more (you)s and bad posts won't. Mods are only necessary when there is a spam campaign. Stop trying to pass of responsibility to the mods when it is your responsibility to choose whom you interact with.

You can hide shitty threads, ignore shitty posters, and generally stick to conversations that you wish to participate in with ease. No need for excessive moderation on a board that deals with politics. It just creates the worst type of community when you have nothing but bootlickers, people insulated from dissenting opinions, and angry shitposters willing to go through their entire proxy list to make the board owner's life slightly worse.

This isn't true in meatspace - you can try to ignore a person, but he can still harm you if he wishes - so to some extent physical removal or segregation is a necessity.

Better examples would be /a/ and /tv/ which I both browse, among other boards.

/a/ has a lot of moderation, but the users have adapted to it and will now use sage and spoiler text when talking about things that are off-topic to avoid a ban, if they want to talk about things that aren't related with anime, they will just talk about them in anime that is sorta related to them(politics in the Legend of Galactic Heroes thread, and jews in the Attack on Titans thread). The auto-maid, a bot basically, instantly bans people who use words like tbh, fam, kys, smh and so on, which has also shaped the way posts are structured. The quality is great, and the people are polite, but will call you retarded and report you, if you act like one.

/tv/ on the other hand has almost no moderation, and the threads mostly devolve into shitpositng with /pol/ pretending to be /leftypol/ pretending to be /pol/ and /leftypol/ pretending to be /pol/ pretending to be /leftypol/. At first glance, the board appears to be anti-Trump and pro communism, but at the same time they will immediately denounce jews and pedophiles. It's also a place where memespeak is accepted, so much so, that is has become /b/ with a dash of movies, television, cartoons, comic books, anime and manga, but no vidya. The quality varies and I even had an interesting conversation with an anon on whether Guts from Berserk was a cuck or not.

You could say that they are two sides of the same coin, yin and yang, flight plan and master plan.

/co/ would be somewhere in the middle, almost like /v/ but with comic books and more story times.

I'd prefer there to be an option for individual moderation. Everyone that starts a thread should be able to moderate it, but not the entire board. Everything else that could improve the situation requires you to lose anonymity.

>/leftypol/ is pretty cool and the mods have a sense of humor

It's a great place. It's so awesome I think I'll stick to posting there and only there.
