What is 'Extreme Fetish Content'? Anonymous 04/22/2025 (Tue) 01:52:45 Id:32ab19 No. 752 [Reply] [Last]

Is it entirely mod-determined, or will there be a list beyond the current ones? Current examples are mostly things involving ensuring no underage or gastrointestinal content is posted, but there's definitely extreme stuff out there that qualifies despite not being either context, so it might be best to nip it in the bud.

>>766 "HMD" and affiliated ntr-adjacent autism was always slop too, two wrongs don't make a right, but at least its proponents haven't been flooding unrelated threads with "ponyboi" and its affiliated faggotry

Anonymous 04/22/2025 (Tue) 21:55:42 Id:540c87 No. 786

>>785 I can pretty much agree with that. The whiteboi stuff that goes beyond just images in blacked threads was often just for demoralizing purposes of non-black, like how Aryanne posters can be directed to demean and demoralize non-white as well as non-pony while recycling extreme content from the other side of /pol/

>>762 We've tentatively decided to allow the current stripped thread, though it will still be subject to GR12 if it appears in other threads. There may be further consideration in the future, but this is where it currently stands. Watersports can be subject to GR2, just wanted to check if there were any further nuance previously discussed.

I've been summoned by the ghost of scruffy for his dead capcha Anonymous 04/16/2025 (Wed) 22:48:30 Id:a6cd32 No. 681 [Reply]

Trying again after this faggot ass captcha limit has passed? To my secret stalker~ I'm glad you learned how to communicate in something besides symbols. I'm on brave, Windows, Desktop. The capcha is in a half-broken state at best, it will constantly say it's wrong even when it's right. This is a consistent complaint across the site, and offsite about nhnb even when resident schizos are claiming it's all one guy. Sometimes it doesn't even load anything at all, no matter how many times you push reload the capcha is just a broken file. The site has a full-retard flood detection, since you have to load capcha more than once since it's broken, this will set off the flood alarms. And then when I get WARNED to post in /qa/ I couldn't even do that earlier with bug after bug after bug.

>>681 I suspect the volunteer was trying to write >>>/qa/ in the first image. As for the captchas, I thinking this is related to the captcha pool size, which I have increased. So hopefully that helps. If the captcha doesn't load, refreshing the page usually fixes it. I'm guessing you're talking about posting a thread? I've been increasing limits for posting, I'll have to see what current limits are for threads. Do keep in mind that there is a global thread rate limit as well (which has also been increased).

>>686 You know you can just implement these measures when we are being raided..... which does not happen a lot anyway whats your excuse for keeping these measures in place?

>>749 If you wait until after it happens, then it's already too late to be effective. But the more day to day application is to reduce the amount of bots that get through. Which has been an issue in the past (pre-captcha).

You guys have to get rid of the one-hour posting limit Anonymous 04/16/2025 (Wed) 05:14:42 Id:32eba6 No. 652 [Reply] [Last]

It's unfair to NEETs like me who have nothing better to do than post ponies all the time! (in all seriousness though, if /mlp/ really is gone for a while or potentially for good it's probably just a good idea in general what with all this new traffic)

mys_elf Board owner 04/18/2025 (Fri) 19:54:57 Id:79f498 No. 734

Anonymous 04/18/2025 (Fri) 22:07:28 Id:49f6d5 No. 736

>>734 Well, I would consider it in the future is site traffic stays up and doesn't dwindle. It would be nice to have higher file size limits. If it's a worthwhile endeavor people don't got a problem giving money. a couple 10 dollars a month goes a long way in the world of small server hosing.

>>652 What is this bypass thing? Why can't I post? I'm sorry for asking to be spoonfed, but I've had a long day of everything going wrong.

mys_elf Board owner 04/22/2025 (Tue) 02:54:55 Id:79f498 No. 756

>>751 The bypass, in part, is an alternative to having a captcha on every post. Once you've used up the number of posts per bypass (or the bypass has expired) you will need to complete a new one. If you are having issues, you can delete your bypass cookie and you will be prompted for a new bypass on your next post.

How do I search for posts instead of just OP's? Also, is it possible to keep the watched threads window always open?

mys_elf Board owner 04/22/2025 (Tue) 02:51:41 Id:2f5bce No. 755

>>750 There is not a global site search. Currently the thread watcher will close when you leave the thread, unless you use the side catalog.

A quick question regarding GR2 Anonymous 04/16/2025 (Wed) 21:45:53 Id:6daff0 No. 676 [Reply]

I understand that posting images that violate GR2 is a no-go. But I see that NSFW greentexts are allowed in /fim/. So, my question is, is posting an off-site link of an image, such as booru link or catbox moe link, that would be against GR2, allowed? i.e. posting a catbox moe link for a NSFW art delivery for a draw thread in /fim/?

mys_elf Board owner 04/17/2025 (Thu) 01:12:10 Id:47124c No. 684

>>676 It is fine to post off site links to explicit content on /fim/, though ideally alert Anons that the link contents are explicit.

Anonymous 04/17/2025 (Thu) 11:00:54 Id:06da02 No. 695

>>684 >alert Anons that the link contents are explicit If it's a pony booru link then I think it's a bit excessive since boorus spoiler explicit stuff by default.

mys_elf Board owner 04/18/2025 (Fri) 03:57:27 Id:47124c No. 722

>>695 It's not a hard rule, just a suggestion. I'm sure the context would probably answer the question for many.

Open Pony: /mlp/'s Second life Pony thread Anonymous 04/15/2025 (Tue) 22:31:34 Id:6de6cc No. 638 [Reply] [Last]

Similar to the gmod thread, looking to see if the Open Pony General thread would be allowed here, if temporarily. The thread is about the Open Pony, a free 3d Pony model based off of the G4 design and used as an Avatar in Second Life. Second Life is a sandbox game that /mlp/ has made its own space within which generates a lot of content. Thread discussion is often directly related to pony content creation, posting of said pony content, and general pony silliness. The pony themed /mlp/ sim is known as Baltimare and bans anthro/human/non-pony avatars (minor exception being Anon) and filters out those who don't use the boards or watch the show. Knowing the rules on this site, links to various groups and such can be removed from the thread op in order to comply with board rules. /opg/ reached their 501st thread before the happening went down and can all be found in the desuarchive.

In the recent event in /mlp/... Anonymous 02/22/2022 (Tue) 06:36:39 Id:dc5249 No. 361 [Reply] [Last]

...I need some answers. 1) What is policy about pride flags? About trannies? Is any critique about trannies deleted? 2) What is policy about Alicorn Twilight? Anonfilly? Diamond Dogs/Teenage Dragons/Parrots (2017 movie)/Abyssinians? Yaks/Nu-changelings/etc? G1, G2, G3, G5? Filly Funtasia? Them's Fightin' Herds? Now that /mlp/ has fallen to PC/LGBT agenda, I'm evaluating potential replacement for us, and if nhnb can be one, or it's just empty place where nothing can be discussed.

>>380 The second image is pretty interesting I've been thinking about whether or not there are organized groups conspiring to ruin /mlp/ a lot recently. It's a very attractive idea but I don't know I find it hard to believe more than 2 or 3 people could be that autistic at once without reality imploding What's been bothering me is the recent influx of /soc/ threads where people (half of them being self-proclaimed """women""") blog about their personal lives without even bothering to make the OP post MLP related, but that might be explained by a lot of the new blood being from twitter and twitter-adjacent backgrounds where that stuff is more common

>>477 Most video files are poorly optimized and could be compressed a lot without a perceptible difference in quality. It's too bad there is no easy to use open source software for making them smaller.

>>478 I typically use the following ffmpeg options to make webms:


ffmpeg -i "in.mp4" -c:v libvpx-vp9 -vbr on -crf 25 -b:v 0 "out.webm"

Can add -an if you need to strip the audio and increase the crf if you need a smaller file at the expense of quality.

Can the file limit for /fim/ be reconsidered? 6mb is much nicer. I wouldnt mind losing the ability to post 2 files in a single post if i could post a single 6mb vid. I encoded my stuff considering the /wsg/ limits pls understand
