Pretty sure I’ve seen them around the site. As far as I know, they’re allowed
Your words are meaningless when ending with threats. Additionally you ought to know the real difference when your message isn’t deleted for such threats as would be provided under our rules. You have every right to make yourself out to be the ass you are.We both know that the real issue was how the rules were enforced rather than what the rules were / are. I agree there are a few extraneous rules that still need reworked or that probably don’t make sense for most people but they’re there for a reason.

Yes. Though I’d like to ask why you’ve lost all goodwill. I don’t recall anything particularly interesting happening that would elicit such a reaction from most people. The only thing I did was setup an alternative website so you can actually have the freedom to speak your mind and have pony art without strings or disclaimers attached.

You can either provide feedback or not provide feedback, your words were not feedback. You are clearly not interested in providing feedback as your previous statements show.Saying “Everything is SHIT! I hate this site!” isn’t feedback, that’s the saying of someone who clearly isn’t a user and doesn’t want anything to do with it and just needs a place to scream because they can’t do so elsewhere.
I’m happy to provide that place to scream, but why don’t you provide something useful that we can work on or talk about so you can have a part in this place?

I personally am not thrilled with how I’m treated on the threads either. I often feel that I’m treated as a subhuman over there for simply making a site for others to have a place to be. I kind of just have to overlook it and keep making progress because that’s what you do when you care about others. Some people notify me if the thread has legitimate questions or concerns regarding PB , I let them know what to respond with if needed / fix the issue if it’s fixable by me.
I’d recommend trying the site out instead of going by the impression gleamed on the thread. You’ll probably be quite surprised about what actually happens here on Ponybooru.
You, X, and Luzion contributed as well.Considering Luzion has arguably done more administrative work maintaining the site than I have when I was on a break I fail to see what he could have possibly said that draws the ire of 4chan. Considering I stopped replying to obvious bait in the threads early on I also fail to see what I could have possibly said that was “negative” regarding an alt booru or discussion of alt boorus.
Is it just the brand of humor that’s negative?
I do remember us shitposting real hard about bronies being diet furries that just like one animal over others. Granted this is more of a tongue in cheek joke because we all know there’s a major difference in community and types of people between such broad fandom terms. I really hope people aren’t still mad at this.I also understand people didn’t like my original plan - that’s fine. Ponybooru’s here now and here to stay thanks to the valuable input of the original threads.
Adamance to become as close of an imitation of derpibooru as possibleAs far as I see I just set up an alt booru where you don’t have to worry about getting banned without recourse or being told what’s wrong / given opportunities to resolve issues.
Derpi worked mostly OK for a long time till the moderation went out of control and started dragging ideals into moderation considerations. They were not without issues mind you, but they didn’t cause anything bad enough up to the point the altboorus were spawned.
What Surprise? It’s just derpi with two rules changed slightly and less chance of a ban or comment block.Welcome to being able to speak your mind without being told that you’re unwelcome and to get lost.I appreciate being able to actually talk with you and apologize if shit was said in our early days that no longer apply now. Thank you for your time.

Rule 2 in discord is basically saying don’t type one word at a time, like a teenage girl who cant keep her finger off the enter key or something.As

thisin individual messages, no one cares about sending multiple messages back to back. As the rule says, just avoid anything that would be considered actually ‘spamming’ the server like the example above and you’re good.Besides, its not like staff will ban you without letting you know if you’re doing something wrong first - We’ll always let you know, and ask you to stop if you’re doing anything against the rules.
Deletion reason: Spam, there is no need to spam multiple threads with the same request. Your original cmment in tag discussion has been left up and addressed by a moderator.
There is also consideration for automated moderation logging, though not decided on or finalized. We’re only in the discussion phase that the moment.
@Sapphie
As it is i trust this thread being an accurate audit log less than derpistan’s lack of one. They at least are open about being opaque. Here? You could just do staff actions and not log them to cover your tracks.

tags on them. And Ciaran locked the tagging thread in which this happens right before insisting that I was only saying that to try and exclude LGBT people from the site, based on absolutely nothing I said in the thread. This meant I could not counter him with anything. And anyone who does not know me and who saw that would have no reason to assume that it was not true. Because users have no frame of reference for how the moderation team ought to treat people. We are just supposed to trust them.@Luzion
Global Rules: Announce all rule changes, no matter how seemingly minor. This avoids wordmincing to try and justify things mid-argument and leaves less chance of some fucktard changing them at random without notice.
Rule 1: Edit protection and exceptions to DNP for those that are purging content outright would be nice, but we already know you’re not going to even pretend to be an archive like Derpi tried, so w/e. At least you aren’t pretending.
Rule 3: It’s probably a good idea to note pony merch in otherwise non-pony image doesn’t count as pony related either. Too many furniggers do that shit.
Rule 4: Turn the opener summary into a note before the rules. Should be the first fucking thing you read on the whole list. Tired of this shit, it’s why it even made it on Derpi’s rulelist anyways. Still no fucking clue why you copied said rule list verbatim.
@LuzionThere is also consideration for automated moderation logging, though not decided on or finalized. We’re only in the discussion phase that the moment.Well, that is good that you are discussing this. This is a good idea for you to implement.
You might have noticed that in my providing criticism against the moderation team here, I have not commented on them having inconsistent rule enforcement. And, given my experience on Derpibooru, this is primarily why: We don’t have a good way of knowing if you are truly consistent about how you all handle your users or not.
@Zaknel
There is quiet a lot to process but I’ll try to address whats been directed at me or the team in general.
@Humble Oriathan
I don’t entirely trust Zizzy and Curtained not to unwittingly go full derpitarian, but I doubt a reworked rule list would stop them in any case.
