>>352 Nice post, Nigel

>>352 In the end this kind of thing is up to the board owner, but here's my two cents on the matter. Sort of piggybacking off of your question, I too have wondered how posters like that are to be handled here. Thankfully, we haven't really had any people like that yet, but it's inevitable that some people of that type are going to show up. What's the response plan? Where is the line drawn? The kind of poster I've been most worried about is the one that currently plagues /mlp/ the most: The dedicated trolls that post somewhat on topic, but all they ever post is inflammatory bullshit that is designed purely to derail and harvest (You)s. Good example of this are the dumb twilight_stare.jpg + Shitty question prompt threads. It's trolling without any doubt, but like most things, /mlp/ moderation does fuck all about it. I would like to imagine things like that are not tolerated here. As for inviting people over from /mlpol/, I have no issues with that, especially if it brings in anons interested in genuine discussion of a topic like writing, but it needs to be understood that /pol/ posting should stay where it belongs, beyond simple stuff like Aryanne posting. Don't get me wrong, I have no issues with the views and ideologies, but the internet has become such a 24/7 hyper-politicized hellscape in the ((current year)) that it's a breath of fresh air to visit somewhere like here where such things are kept to a minimum. NHNB is for FiM, first and foremost.

>>352 Going off of what you've posted, it honestly doesn't even seem really pony related and is borderline gibberish in places. What to do would depend on his response, but in general the goal would be to encourage him to actually stay on topic and perhaps spend just a teeny bit of time more to make a slightly more coherent post. You're examples would likely be removed due to the above.

>>353 While I made a pretty lengthy post, it's far too coherent to be a 'Nigel' post. Besides, I'm not from the UK and basically asking if bans would be used against myself if I was Nigel makes no sense. It was long to give a rundown on him. >>355 >doesn't even seem really pony related and is borderline gibberish in places. Good observation, though the /mlpol/ thread was more open to writefagging in general not just pony so they kind of shot off their foot with that one. But this said, everyone was just posting to improve their writing which is why it was so open. Obviously if something like it was tried on nhnb then it would be poniponi only, but the subject matter isn't to blame because everyone was getting something out of the thread until Nigel came and shat it up endlessly. >in general the goal would be to encourage him to actually stay on topic and perhaps spend just a teeny bit of time more to make a slightly more coherent post. I'm afraid that this has been tried endlessly for a good 4 years by now? He's basically been a thorn in the users side almost since the beginning, very little changed and people are tired of him, like nigger fatigue. You can read one of the threads he made that was archived to get an example of what kind of an autist you would be dealing with, and why I'm pre warning you that nothing short of a harder stance would get through his thick fucking skull. It's a pre-warning because IF I did suggest people try making the thread on nhnb, then by association of just being writing related it may attract him like a moth to a flame, except it's the godzilla mothra sized sperg instead bringing nothing but ruin. https://mlpol.net/go/3544 This particular thread was when he decided to shill his self-insert nobody asked about Some caps from his autistic fanfic thread, which had a meltdown when people criticized him about. Even though in the thread there's more than one UK poster it's still painfully obvious which one is Nigel. https://mlpol.net/go/3544#3872 this post isn't Nigel but does link to a whole bunch of them to get the idea. He also has a stupid fucking habbit of making multiple posts when he couldn't fit all his stream of puke into one post, again just littering a thread.

So is he like the Zimbabwe of writing or something?

>>357 Pretty peculiar analogy but I guess yes you could say so there's a lot of similarities if you look at it from that perspective. https://mlpol.net/sp/18776 This cap is from the venting and chill thread "cozy pub" which was to mimick the kind of atmosphere youd find in a bar irl, and while it states in the OP that off-topic is fine, Nigel STILL brings the same unbearable autism everywhere he goes, and he has no real off switch, he doesnt know when to shut the fuck up or that he's the one driving people away, some people went to the 'pub' to bitch about him, and then he shows up anyways. And just like the other threads, once Nigel enters it people generally are forced to deal with his autism and the thread eventually starts talking about how he should fuck off, and he falls back onto calling people haters and gaslighting with his own warped version of reality where he's right. A summation of Nigel is that basically wherenever he goes it derails a thread so hard that it's neigh unrecovverable, his autism is so powerful it's like a blackhole of shit, and it never ends. You can ignore him or try to filter him if you'd like but the litter is still there, and constant. The social pub thread eventually focused around him for a while and even had the mod team and ex-mod team chime in about what to do with him, which turned into nothing beyond minor deletions because the admin is too much of a faggot and I hope nhnb would do a better job. At one time one of the mods took a harder stance against him, but since the admin is a faggot then things just went back to where they were with everyone miserable. It's almost like the mods of /mlp/ letting EQG trash the board because its "been here for years" and even when it's painfully offtopic or just "on topic" enough that even though he's being a complete fucking retard then the post slides. Much like the behavior mentioned in >>354 >The dedicated trolls that post somewhat on topic, but all they ever post is inflammatory bullshit that is designed purely to derail and harvest (You)s. Except the difference is that Nigel is 100% serious, not just doing for (You)s because he is that fucking autistic. If you cut out 'inflammatory' then it applies heavily to how his posts are, "all the they ever post is bullshit that purely derails and harvest (You)s". He does get inflammatory quite a bit when there's pushback, but the general root of the issue is that at any point in time he will post whatever mental diareah on the board he's happening to think about that second. Just like the braindead EGfagot would post whatever low quality post on /mlp/ because at the end of it is's the same mentality. "People NEED to see what I want, so I will force it down their throat until it's accepted" Anyways I think I've given enough examples of Nigel being a nigger, the ex-staff even called him Niggel and it's pretty apt. This thread can be used to discuss what kind of a line should be tolerated for the mentally defiecient, but clearly the way /mlpol/ mod team handled it is cancer, just letting it go largely unchecked and mirrors a lot of why /mlp/ went to shit.

>>358 If that """Nigel""" of yours, who is totally aren't you, would try this shit, people would tell him he's a retard and should stfu. If he won't, people most likely will report him. Then he most likely will get warned, and his bullshit deleted. If he won't get the hint, he probably will get banned for shitting the board, regardless of the fact if he's genuinely autistic or not. This is a pony imageboard, not EQD or an asylum. Nobody's obligated to babysit and nurse tards. Also, take your semi-coherent offboard offtopic bullshit, shove it up your arse and fuck off back wherever you came from.

>>356 >>358 As with anywhere, he would need to break the rules to have moderation action taken against him. That being said, I feel like he would probably run up against the rules for low quality posts and off topic posts in many of these examples given. In which case he would get his posts deleted and most likely a warn, progressing into a ban if he doesn't get the message.

>>359 He isn't the britard, that fagget remains the unmatched sperg >>358 >>356 >>352 Sup, sociopath&proud, well, isn't amazing what a google search can do to a bad-opsec plebeian?

>>360 Well I've given enough details and details for Nigel and the only thing would do from here is just see how it goes after talking. I was maybe going to let people know in the thread about trying it go on nhnb for a writefag center, but maybe that time has passed for now. Right now the thread on /mlppol/ is dead due to everyone vacating the autism fuming up the place, no surprise. >>366 No idea what the fuck are you talking about, barely worth a reply but here's a (You)

>>370 What did i do to you that made you mad at me?

>>370 >Right now the thread on /mlppol/ is dead due to everyone vacating the autism fuming up the place, no surprise. This is actually kind of a mischaracterization. Nigel still posts a lot of his autistic garbage in that thread and he's still annoying, but the thread itself is active. It's probably one of the more active threads on /mlpol/ at this point.

>>474 It's too soon to tell. But it seems like he has finally fucked off. Very proud of my role btw.

>>474 How about a little update then? Shit's fucking deserted. There's a grand total of two posters in the writefag thread. A sizable portion of that thread is just OP and Nigel going back and forth with unreadable walls of text. Hope it dies off soon.
