I've been removing the images because it's basically Jailbait, but I wanted to know if I should just go ahead and request a ban right off the bat if it happens again?
What should the policy in /n/ be about sites such as Newsmax, TruthOut, and InformationClearingHouse? Sometimes these sites appear and largely cause flamewars. Should there be a rule against them when rules are drafted, and in the meantime, what should policy be?

It has sort of been an unwritten rule that cute pictures of animals are not posted in /c/, but rather in /cm/. However, I have never heard an official opinion on this. Should I delete images of dogs, cats, and prinnies (most of which are male anyway) from /c/? If this is the case, can there be a rule update or a sticky that makes this known?
>>290 What about the demi-humans here http://bin.4chan.org/cm/res/160421.html
I asked on IRC last night and MrVacBob said he supposed it was fine, but they don't even look half human. Also someone posted Yoshi in a Bridget costume in another thread. So I delete these after all?
But some issues arise. /c/ is supossed to be a place for cute anime girls. That is why /cm/ was made, to separate the two genders. If animals are allowed on /c/, am I supossed to delete the male ones but keep the female ones? The majority of visitors don't want any illustrations of animals in /c/. I think that people should post pictures of Chiyo's dog and the like in /a/, since it is a more general anime board.
I've been having a difficult time on /s/ deciding sometimes what should be deleted. I know people like a lot of different types of females and I definitely keep this in mind.
Considering it's pretty much a board where people go to admire and fap, should I keep the majority happy by keeping material off that displeases a lot of people? Or should I just leave them free to sage on their own?
Stuff like fake tits and musclebuilder females really bothers me sometimes, but feedback within those threads is sometimes good and I decide to leave them.
I'm wondering if this is what the other /s/ janitor(s) do(es).
I would think that most threads in /s/ should remain unless there is a man in the picture and nothing else, or if the woman posted is far beyond any normal person's consideration of sexy (ie fat chicks/grannies). But that's just me, and you don't see me as janitor of /s/. >>
i also have a hard time deciding which general agenda to follow for /s/
here my thoughts: i believe i have a broad acceptance level: i would delete these pictures if the board was only for my own pleasure but since that isnt so i "tolerate" images if i have the impression there a few guys enjoying that thread.
but i instantly delete pictures which i consider gross even if people seem to enjoy that.
generally i would like to have /s not to be a fap board. there is too much porn on this board which i would like to reduce more and more. but that is some sort of "long time vision"
>>298 no, i usually just delete those replies. it's a meme and whatever, it won't last forever.

Character threads and /m/Anonymous10/22/06(Sun)19:58No.295[Reply]
Due to recent bitchfests on /m/ I figure this needs asking: Are threads that basically consist people fapping to $random_female_pilot (or $random_trap_pilot) allowed on /m/?
I too notice random female pilots showing on /m/ more frequently, I tend to leave them alone because most are generally innocent and people ask stuff about the character.
To be honest, I'd rather not see female pilots on /m/, I'd go to /a/ and ask people for female pilots if I'd want, I suppose we'll have to wait till the new rules are implented and see what goes from there.
/m/ is however a "sfw" imageboard, so anything too much revealing is just a request for a deletion.
You can also take it strict and don't allow anything else than what /m/ is made for, namely mechs, no things like "Please post more images about Fllay"
Due to several recent threads in /a/, I've started wondering if I should start deleting unmarked spoilers. I've been letting them go so far, but it IS in the rules.
If I should start deleting them, then I have to wonder what constitutes a spoiler worthy of deletion. Does it only apply to new series? Major plot points? Details? (ie, if someone makes it vague enough that you'd have to know what is being spoiled to even know that it was a spoiler, would that count?)
Well you should delete unmarked spoilers, even with old series. If I were to search for some kickass anime (even if old and I haven't watched it) and I would see something that would have impact on the anime I want to watch, for example a whole new model in gundam that reveals itself later in the story, then yes it would be a disappointment.
Then again if this occurs quite a lot, you could try making a thread under Anonymous in /a/ asking people to mark spoiled content. If it's getting quite frustrating (Excessive threads about spoilers for example) I would suggest talking to one of the moderators, deleting threads over and over will get frustrated by janitors and anonymous alike, letting a mod know about it, and making a thread there stickied about marking spoilers would surely solve the problem :)

Rapidshared comics on /co/Anonymous10/19/06(Thu)00:10No.253[Reply]
People have been posting many rapidshared (copyrighted) comics on /co/ for some time. Since becoming a janitor and getting the OK from moot, I've been deleting most of them. If it's really old, or really obscure, or especially both, I often let it go. Or if they just link to a torrent, I think that's technically okay. Or, if it's not a full comic but a collection of pictures or something, I leave that alone, so it's not like "no rapidshares of anything" is a good rule.
This is all well and good... but since there are no rules for /co/, the users are left wondering what's going on. Apparently, there was a previous sticky telling them that brand new comics are okay to post, which I frankly find insane, as new comics are some of the MOST legally risky.
I'd kinda like a new sticky re-affirming to the users that posting entire works is not okay, and their posts will be deleted, just so they know what's up. Or we could even go really crazy and write out some rules.
I would argue that, while the uploads may give some cause for concern, the trolling that goes on is far worse. The constant arguing over Avatar, furrydom, etc. is far more harmful to the board as a whole. If actual rules for /co/ are ever drafted, I'd reaffirm that one in particular.
Differences between fanservice porn and cheesecake is not a few tiny black rectangles. Subject matter shown has to be taken into consideration beyond the need to fap in a worksafe board.
>>257 Good deal on getting that updated, I'm sure janitors would like to give advice if needed.
Still if the rules are outdated, it should be common sense for users that 4chan is a community and not a warez site. I would say a link to full copyrighted material should be deleted straight away.
As for torrents I'd leave most people to their own judgement, I don't see janitors/mods downloading 4 gigs just to see if it's illegal, if there is a post with a torrent link and the user added textinfo related to something illegal I'd just delete the whole post.
