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?
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?
>>353
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.
>>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...
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."

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?
I'm showing this report in /r/
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.
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.
am i the only janitor on /g/?
picture related in that it is technology
WTF is going on with 4chan, rizon, etc?
Picture related.
What's the policy on Po-ju in /y/? x:
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.
>>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.
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?
>>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 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"
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/?
Hello, there is a website that floods /g/ right now. If you see floods on your boards, post it in here.
>>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.
>>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.
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.
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.
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.
