>>38 you're all good. gnight BROny /)

>>27 >more often than not rules like these are used for powertripping mods. As staff can simply ban someone they disagree with and claim they were "evading". A very common tactic. Seen it a thousand times as this is what this rule is mostly used for. Massive warning flag. When the fuck have you seen this? I've literally only ever seen this rule used when someone is spamming some shit and getting repeatedly banned, if you say the exact same thing then mods assume you're just another proxy and slap you with 30 days. Or when someone openly posts "haha I just got banned" (thus obviously evading that ban). >nobody follows it! No, but it gives grounds for handing out much longer bans on proxies of evading people, which makes it at least slightly more difficult to spam. If you have a cycle of proxies, you can't just reuse it every three days; you either need to get a new set of proxies, or you gotta wait a month. >what about foalcon I wouldn't expect that from the rules; banning loli is usually done for legal reasons, and 99% of jurisdictions don't consider foalcon to be CP (even in places like the UK it should be fine, I believe). Loli/shota means explicitly human underage girls and boys, not fillies and colts. >“11. Do not impersonate staff.“ I actually agree with that point. There isn't any real reason for this rule to exist. >>29 >but excessive use may result in a warn. Worth noting that that might just as well count as avatarfagging. >>32 >If you're worried about pizza then just have it enabled for text posting only in the config. Honestly not a bad idea, I'd support this. Is there any other reason not to do this?

>>41 >When the fuck have you seen this? I've been shitposting for 15+ years. Most recently I was the b0 of 9chan /pone/ (gayhorse) before that entire site went to shit. I've also helped out on 8chan as staff before the 8kun transition. So I know enough about how these rules are formed and enacted upon. I've written several myself throughout the years. And thus I know that this "particular rule" is used against anons alot. Understand that I've had many long conversations with other b0's and mods. Saying that they specifically use this one as a "fallback" to ban anons they disagree whit. And so -- depending upon how the rules are rewritten/adjusted later -- this site may or may not become another ghost town. As why would anyone rebuild here? There are already other similarly cucked, ill-defined rulesets used by trigger happy mods elsewhere (like ponychan, 4/mlp etc). And I don't need more of that faggotry. Thus I'm hoping for better rules but I'm not expecting much given mys_elf earlier response. Seen it all before.

>>41 >makes it at least slightly more difficult to spam lol cute >banning loli is usually done for legal reason Yes I know. But you'd be surprised how trigger happy some hosts can be. But given that anthro is banned on here it might be fine. >Is there any other reason not to do this? Text spam. But its nothing a good robot filter can't handle.

>>44 >this particular rule I assume you mean ban evasion. >Saying that they specifically use this one as a "fallback" to ban anons they disagree whit. Not my intention. I intend to use it as stated. Of course I'm not sure there's much I could say to be convincing to you, I guess you'll just have to wait until there's more of a history to go off of. >What about staff abusing thier powers? That is the point of the public mod log. I would hope this would be a strong discouragement to abuse as there would be no hiding it. Should we actually have a rougue janny I would expect the Anons to bring it to my attention. I do think the rule is important to have, else it kind of undermines all the others. Obviously it is a bit difficult to fully enforce given how widespread VPNs are, however it does serve as a good basis for a more harsh punishment should rule violations continue, the poster flaunt the fact that they are evading, or otherwise make obvious that it is the case. Realistically it's about the best we can do and provides a further step before a rangeban. >Why would anyone rebuild This place is meant to be more of somewhere new rather than a replacement. The hope is that this place will be distinct enough for people to browse it in addition to other places. Apologies if I was a bit brief, I should be able to give some better responses tomorrow.

>>29 >rouge >>52 >rougue you're getting there!

>>52 >I guess you'll just have to wait until there's more of a history to go off of. True. For all the rules in the world, in the end, all that matters is how they are enforced. Still, with that said, I do like to see good rules from the "get go". Knowing how shit usually turns out otherwise kek. >The hope is that this place will be distinct enough for people to browse it in addition to other places. I like the strong culture stances such as "No Hooves". Things like that are unifying and good. Defo helps with building identity and personality. Keep that up for sure. >Apologies if I was a bit brief, I should be able to give some better responses tomorrow. Na, no worries. I've said my piece for now. I don't wanna come off as too antagonistic. I can only hope that I've manged to stir your brain alittle about the rules. Its your site so do whatever you want, just don't expect anons to stick around if you make them choke. Less censorship/restrictions = promotes engagement, fun and creativity. Anons go wild. More censorship/restrictions = kills joy but makes moding easier. Little traffic and engagement. Slow site. Pick your poison.

>>41 >When the fuck have you seen this? on 4cuck it happens quite often. whenever some brain damaged janny thinks you're the same person because you have the same opinions they slap blanket ban for 'ban evasion' then parrot their forced meme that only 2 people are the problem because everyone is an IP hopping samefag to them.

>>88 >t. an IP hopping samefag

>>88 Well, here we have the public mod log so hopefully that should dissuade any mod abuse. If there does happen to be some sort of issue I expect to get an email about it. Of course I would recommended attempting a ban appeal, write up what you think happened should there be some kind of mistake. So far the volunteers we've gotten so far seem decent and I hope they would respect the position well.
