Someone posted a thread in /co/ about grave of the fireflies (which while not technically miyazaki, was made by his studio). Some people told him he shouldn't post that in /co/, and some people said that someone declared Miyazaki (i.e. princess mononoke, kiki's delivery service, spirited away, howl's moving castle etc) as /co/ acceptable. Is this the case or should the thread be deleted?
>>
Ah, well, I think they showed whether or not they could have the occasional "classic" anime thread... the thread descended into nothing but flaming so I deleted it.

The board I janitor is /gif/... Quite frequently there are people /r/ing in gif... If they /r/ about gif animated images should I delete that post? Or should it stay? Also what about these constant traps that overload /gif/ everyday?

i think that falls under the exception moot mentioned. if they post a good flash file and ask for another good flash file, i'd say leave it be since they're contributing to /f/. if they post something stupid (I'M AN FBI AGENT springs to mind) just so they can post to make a request, that's the same as doing "pic unrelated" on other boards and should be deleted.
>>
Ok my board /gif/ allows the posting of porn. Well a good amount of times people post and say they don't want that much porn on /gif/.. I mean I know what they mean cause just about every page has some porn on it, and at times its really extreme porn and even sick, and tons of reposts... So many reposts of girls giving blow jobs... it's like it never leaves the board. I was thinking maybe I could delete some of the porn gif's that are posted every day. It might help bring in some people who post something besides porn. Please share your views on this.
>>
There's nothing in the rules of /gif/ against porn, so deleting porn makes no sense. /gif/ just happens to be a non-worksafe board, so if people don't like it, I'm inclined to say "Tough".
>>
>>418
Well I don't mean to delete porn in general, just the porn gif's that are reposted the minute they leave the board. I dare to say some of these have been reposted for over a month lol.

Oh, and some post "animal porn"... Now I heard once it was illegal but I never took that to be 100% true. But when other's do post it, people mark their post as illegal. I deleted the one's that were, well.... I would consider to much...
>>
>>419
Pornographic material depicting sex between humans and animals is in violation of US obscenity laws in most regions. In other words, yes, it's illegal.

File deleted.
I'm beginning to think /v/ should just be put in the NSFW category. Every time I go there I see something bad for a Worksafe board and even when it's deleted two more spring up within the hour. If they can't learn to keep it Worksafe, maybe we should just shift it?
>>
as it is there is some semblance of rational thought and some half-assed discussion of current gaming trends. make it NSFW and it'll become a dumping ground for VG porn.

besides, it sounds like a rather slippery slope. "if we break the rules enough, they'll change things so we aren't breaking the rules as much."
>>
>>421

Agreed.

If they want to post porn there's plenty of boards for that purpose. /v/'s got lots of janitors and the users are pretty decent at reporting NSFW stuff. It's rare for those images to stay up for long periods of time.
>>
>>421
I really didn't think of that. Suggestion retracted.
>>
>>421
Exactly.
(Much like what happened to /r/ when toons were first allowed. )

Posts about tabletop games like these shouldn't really be in /co/, but the users there don't seem to mind and the guy's getting some discussion now. Should I delete threads like these? Or maybe I should try to delete them if I catch them before people reply, but leave it once it starts to get some discussion going like that?
1 reply omitted. Click here to view.
>>
I'd leave them. They fit in better in /co/ than in /b/. Besides, we've had some good discussions with them, and I can't say I've ever seen anyone complain about them.
>>
>a tabletop board for war games/pen&paper RPGs/board games/card games/etc.

That would be a great board.
>>
we get a lot of such threads on /m/ as well, but ours tend to be filled with blatant trollbait and flamewars.
>>
>>392
Sounds like if we were to tell the people who post these things in /m/ that they should instead post in /co/, at least until such time that a tabletop board is made, that would solve a lot of your /m/ problems.
>>
I think a better idea might just be to turn /v/ into a board for all games besides sports.

I'm showing this report in /r/

I figured that part out, but this shouldn't happen. I posted it here so that coda (or whoever) would know there's a bug in the report-deleting.
>>
>>402
It struck me as odd because I'm the only /t jan. So thinking about it, it means two threads were deleted by the OP, or a mod before I got to them which seemed off.
>>
I'm 99% sure it happens when a user reports a post after it's already been deleted (because it was deleted between the user loading the page and reporting the post). I assume the system just isn't checking to see if a report points to a post that actually exists before logging it.
>>
>>405
Bingo, that's it.
I tried by opening the report window for a post, deleting it, then hitting report.
Boom, orphaned report.

Seems that all you need to do is check that the post exists on report submission.
>>
It seems to happen any time the post is deleted through any method other than the reports page.

Like, if a user deletes his own post that someone had reported. Or if you use the extension button to delete a post that's been reported, the reports don't get cleared.

There are quite a few threads on /cgl/ that popup almost daily asking for pictures of sexy cosplayers. I have been deleting the threads that turn into cosplay porn as soon as I see them, but I was just wondering the moderators stance on keeping the threads where it is just pictures of attractive cosplayers. I have been keeping them up as long as they are relatively clean.

Your thoughts?
>>
Why would you delete cosplay porn? /cgl/ is not a worksafe board, so as long as the pictures aren't disgusting or overly crappy I don't see why it shouldn't stay. It isn't like those threads would pose a problem, and I haven't heard any mods say that porn in /cgl/ is not allowed.
>>
>>356
While there isn't any rules pertaining to cosplay porn on CGL, I am just under the belief that /s/ or /b/ would better serve this demand thats all. I would like to hear what the moderators have to say on the matter.
>>
>>357
/s/, while it seems like one of the only appropriate places, isn't too much for porn either. we like to keep it to a minimal i would think. cosplay porn, considering it's cosplay, would probably fit best on /cgl/.
>>
Sounds reasonable. If it's full out porn I'll probably still delete it but if it's artistic or soft, i'll leave it up unless someone reports it.

am i the only janitor on /g/?

WTF is going on with 4chan, rizon, etc?

Picture related.

nothing?

>>365

Well, not anymore- but on a regular basis, Rizon no worky; no IRC, no web, no nothin'. And 5 other IRC networks work just fine...

On that particular occasion, 4chan was also completely dead.

I'll be camping in Shenandoah till Sunday afternoon, so keep an eye on /e/, even though its generality pretty quiet.

What's the policy on Po-ju in /y/? x:
>>
Its shota. Shota doesn't belong anywhere outside of /b/
>>
>>375
Not all of it is Shota, actually.
But the remaining stuff doesn't belong in /y/, still.
(Dickgirls, straight hentai, and furry...)

I guess this is something like a meme on /h/, but still, a number of people are posting fake or corrupt rapidshares claiming they're scans of this doujin. I'm inclined for these to be treated as trolls and subject to a ban request, but I'm curious about what others have to say about this.

And on another subject, is this board supposed to be kept worksafe?
>>
Well, it's not blue - do you NEED to post something nsfw for your discussion? If you notice a fake or corrupt rapidshare, delete it. Memes seem to be grounds for deletion off of /b/ anyway, and if it's something as pointless like that, it sounds like it'd be better off not existing.

There probably aren't that many people posting them, and they'll notice that their posts are getting deleted and either eventually stop or start posting them even faster out of spite - at which point you realize they're a moron, and request a ban.
>>
If they're fake rapidshares, delete it, or ask for a ban.
>>
>>359
>>Well, it's not blue - do you NEED to post something nsfw for your discussion?
Well I was going to post the complete cover of the doujin in question, which is NSFW, in case people actually didn't know what I was talking about. But wasn't sure, so I cropped it.
>>
remember that these are imageboards, not discussion boards.
>>
I've seen this do the rounds on other boards outwith 4chan. Supposedly it's the 'Holy Grail' of hentai, but only the cover itself seems to have been scanned. I actually asked for it myself a month or three back, which has probably inadvertantly sparked the current rounds. I haven't seen any myself yet, but I'd consider it trolling. I'd say any more than once or twice would warrant a ban request

Is there a policy on motivators in /a/? They're arguably on par with image macros, and at best, one step removed. The vast majority are pretty useless, and simply regurgitate memes or not-so-witty saying.

Are these deletable?

For reals. The instant one with a picture of a cock on a PS3 gets deleted a million more spring up with posts begging Godwin to be invoked.
>>
>>275
If it's relevant, it's one thing, I hold it to the same standard as an image macro (if it's related to the topic at hand and not offensive, I let it stay). However, motivators are omnipresent in /a/ at times. After Alternative replied above, I deleted an ENTIRE THREAD consisting of nothing but motivators, all about motivators. Even the OP was a motivator.

That's the type of thing I'm talking about, not the occasional funny motivator. So a sticky suggesting that motivators will be treated the same as image macros would hopefully deter these off-topic floods, and effectively make my job easier.
>>
I made a sticky. If its actually funny, you can leave it. otherwise, get rid of it
>>
I just posted this to /a/ and am crossposting it here:

"Okay so I decided to post here to address some recent problems /a/ has apparently had. First of all, if you chose to grumble on the boards as opposed to emailing me; you're an idiot. I've said time and time again to email me if there are problems. Turning the board into a war zone will more likely get you banned than solve any problems.

Anyway, on to the two points of contention: motivational posters and the anime-ecchi border.

Honestly, I think motivational posters are usually pretty dumb. There *are* pleasant surprises though--I've laughed at a few. My stance on them in /a/ has always been that of "they're harmless, so leave them alone". Technically, they're macros, and thus are against the rules. If you didn't already realize this, go check them again! Still though, if they're contributed to a thread and don't act as a negative, I think they're fine to say. This being said, the images are fine so long as you guys don't start dedicating entire threads to their worship, turning /a/ into "/a/ - IMAGE MACRO APPRECIATION STATION".

As for whether or not nudity can be posted. Nudity isn't worksafe and is thus, against the rules. My personal stance on it has been "if I don't see nipples or vagina, I don't really care". There are exceptions though. Blatant/overtly sexual images should not be posted. There IS an ecchi board for a reason. If you contribute a borderline/mild image of a character to a thread about a show, I think it should stay. Don't go make entire threads dedicated to the stuff though--again, there's an entire board for it!

I hope this clarifies any recent misgivings about rule enforcement/policy. In closing, stop blaming the moderators and janitors for doing their jobs. You ARE technically in violation of the rules when it comes to this stuff. EMAIL ME if there are problems--turning the board into an opinionated bitch-fest will get you banned, as it should.

love,

-mootykins"
>>
>>343
well said.

p.s. hi

This is obviously a point of contention on /wg/.
Some threads are blatant ("POAST ALL NARUTO WALLS!!!!!!!!"), but others go just as smoothly as though they were on /w/, with no flames or anything... but they're anime and work-safe. Should I delete content in /wg/ that belongs in /w/?
>>
If the thread is young (just a few replies), remove it. Anime wallpapers should be kept in /w/ obviously since there is an *entire board* dedicated to them. Don't go off deleting heavily replied-to threads though.

Hello, there is a website that floods /g/ right now. If you see floods on your boards, post it in here.

>>313
Or you know, you could just, flag the board for review (which is how we actually learned of the problem to begin with)!
>>
>>315
You're right about that, though, (Correct me if I'm wrong :)) most moderators are PST, which occassionally ends up with no moderator currently surveying the boards, so just flagging a board which is under attack could take a while to be solved, thus a chance for a massive flood.

Just tell me if I'm wrong, I'm just giving you my point of view, and since I'm new I could very well be wrong.
>>
>>324
Almost all of the moderators are EST, not PST. How is going on IRC or /j/ going to solve the problem as opposed to flagging the board if nobody is around to begin with? I am confused.
>>
>>338
Point taken.

Usually highlighting mods on IRC that are at the PC gets a faster response (Assuming they don't just surf the web) than flagging.

I suppose it's best to flag a board and highlight/notify a mod on IRC at the same time.

By the way, just an insight, what about creating some sort of validation code for each reply made (just 2 digits or something). That pretty much would block any program from spamming replies. But ofcourse things like these don't happen often, and users will probably dislike validating their replies all the time. It could be considered an alternative method of prevention.
>>
>>340
Flagging and notifying by IRC is your best bet to grab the attention of a moderator.

Capchas/"vericodes" suck. We just need to clean up floods when they happen, which isn't very often.

What's the line between /e/ and /a/?

I've assumed that stuff like this, while acceptable in /e/, would also be acceptable in /a/. Yes, it's not something you'd want as your desktop on your work computer, but then again you probably wouldn't get fired for it like actual porn.

Whether rightfully so or not, /a/ seems to embrace "borderline worksafe" stuff.
>>
File deleted.
This was two posts below the post in >>329

Even a cursory glance through /a/ will show several posts like this. The de facto rule that I (and to my knowledge, RyuKaiser) have been working by is "delete if it contains nipples, penis, or vagina," and use discretion for anything else.
>>
Honestly id say everything but >>327 would be much more at home in /e/
>>
I have actually asked at several different times since I started where I should draw the line for "worksafe", and have gotten several different responses from different mods. So, when it comes to ecchi pictures that don't have explicit penis/vagina/nipples or aren't barely censored porn, I am most times left at a loss for what to do with the post.
>>
I'm going to make a post in /a/ later today (providing I remember) about this sort of thing since some of the mods caused a ruckus with the whole "no motivational poster/ecchi" stuff.

I've basically maintained that as long as I don't see nipples or vagina, I really don't care. Overtly sexual images shouldn't be posted though. If the images are exposing but harmless in nature they should probably be left alone. It basically worked that way without incident for a while before people decided to try to clarify the rule.
