(01:22:24) +scrubadour: can someone warn/ban a user for reporting a not-illegal thread as illegal? (01:23:00) +scrubadour: https://boards.4chan.org/tg/res/25255320 is the thread (02:06:41) Troid: appropriate personnel please annihilate: (02:06:43) Troid: https://boards.4chan.org/m/res/9197363 (02:06:47) Troid: https://boards.4chan.org/vg/res/37621984 (02:06:52) Troid: https://boards.4chan.org/r/res/11393355 (02:06:56) Troid: https://boards.4chan.org/p/res/2009985 (02:07:00) Troid: https://boards.4chan.org/d/res/4818767 (02:07:03) Troid: https://boards.4chan.org/d/res/4818780 (09:08:01) %kdel: is there currently an archive for /v/? (09:08:12) +scrubadour: check the /j/ thread listing all archives (09:08:39) +scrubadour: https://loveisover.me/v/ (09:09:02) %kdel: ah right /j/ (09:09:07) %kdel: i always forget about that board] (11:41:53) +Scroton: Is there a /vr/ janitor/mod on? (11:42:25) Troid: nemo` bleep (11:42:38) +Spitch: Right here (11:42:54) +Spitch: Where's the fire Scroton? (11:42:56) Troid: oh yeah spitch was here. (11:43:20) +Scroton: https://boards.4chan.org/vr/res/768065#p768465 (11:43:24) +Scroton: this guy at it again (11:43:42) +Spitch: Gone (11:43:49) +Scroton: thanks! (11:43:56) +Spitch: Sorry I was working on something else, and turned my head for a minute thanks! (12:58:29) SenatorBufordFunkmuscle: christ, you can't talk about any new game on /v/ without being accused of viralling. [...] (13:01:50) +Scroton: Senator: when us /vr/ doom people posted about doom and modern doom source ports on /v/ to see if others were interested people accused us of viralling (13:04:53) +fsdfdsf: That's prett ysad [...] (13:10:57) SenatorBufordFunkmuscle: fuckin' depressing Scroton. (18:20:34) +McNuggets: mlp is taking over /q/. cute. [...] (18:26:19) +Alkaid: Here's a question...if a thread has a bunch of /mlp/ pictures in it but the thread doesn't seem to be talking about the pictures in general, are the pictures still nuke-able? (18:27:43) +McNuggets: eh ... pic dumps are fine as long as they're not clop (18:27:55) +McNuggets: Nothing in the rules against pic dumps, anyway (18:28:24) +Alkaid: Fair enough, wasn't sure if it fell under 'no ponies outside of mlp' (18:30:20) +McNuggets: oh wait ... you mean outside of /mlp/? (18:30:49) +Alkaid: Yep, it's just a few images (18:31:07) +Alkaid: in an /m/ rage thread, of all places - https://boards.4chan.org/m/res/9200257 [...] (18:31:46) +McNuggets: oh ... well, in that case, yeah GR15 applies. But ... well ... is anyone complaining? (18:32:20) +McNuggets: heh ... some pretty cool pics in that thread. Lemme save 'em before you delete 'em ;) (18:33:01) +McNuggets: anyway, yeah, it's against GR15, but I wouldn't BR for 'em. Just delete them. (18:33:51) +McNuggets: some boards go full rage on ponies - even multiple reporting when a pic has what might be a pony fig on a shelf in the background. Other boards don't care as much. (18:34:40) +Alkaid: Indeed, they aren't bad (but the thread has been reported *for ponies, I'd assume*) (18:35:53) +Alkaid: So far, seems fine though, I'm keeping an eye on them [...] (18:42:29) +yetsturdy: how did it come to this? (18:42:32) +yetsturdy: ponies (18:43:36) +Alkaid: it's always ponies (18:45:29) +McNuggets: lol ... The Scruffening (19:58:41) Troid: the three illegal reports for this should be warned/banned (19:58:43) Troid: https://boards.4chan.org/v/res/193049028 (19:59:14) Troid: (and yeah, the thread is full of furry) (20:41:42) +McNuggets: shitposting on /jp/ is currently at an all time low, while shitposting on /mlp/ has skyrocketed ... d-did the shitposters from /jp/ run over to /mlp/? [...] (20:42:20) Troid: hmmm (20:42:45) Troid: I don't think those two boards overlap users much (21:29:43) +Troid: my fingers are crossed for warning, since mewt said he'd think about it [...] (21:30:25) +Azatsu: that function would be quite dangerous (21:30:33) +McNuggets: eh, it would be a convenience sometimes, but nobody promised me convenience. (21:30:40) +Azatsu: we kinda already give warnings (21:30:50) +fsdfdsf: 15 min mutes are pretty much warnings (21:30:51) +Troid: "dangerous?" how? (21:31:04) +fsdfdsf: warning you're about to get fucked (21:31:07) +fsdfdsf: oh! (21:31:08) +Troid: I don't like mutes, they are only any good for spammers/rreal problem posts (21:31:15) +Troid: *posters (21:31:26) +Azatsu: Don't know, just that some janitors might not know how to use it properly (21:31:33) +fsdfdsf: mutes don't even work on problem posters (21:31:35) +fsdfdsf: They evade them (21:31:38) +Azatsu: Indeed (21:31:41) +Troid: that's also true (21:31:47) +Azatsu: I doubt they'd care about warnings though (21:32:19) +Troid: mutes are even applied to [Warn] templates (21:32:59) +Troid: BR less, warn more... I don't see the problem (21:34:33) +LingeringParticles: sometimes i just don't want to br someone. it would be nice to just warn them, particularly if they're an otherwise good poster [...] (21:37:48) +McNuggets: There is validity to the argument that some Janitors won't know how to use it properly. I mean, we're all just a bunch of volunteer idiots hitting D for the man. Can't expect too much out of us. (21:38:34) +McNuggets: But, there is something to be said for "probationary periods", "trial periods", and good old fashioned common sense. Not to mention convenience. I merely brought it up as an entertaining suggestion I saw on /q/. (21:38:47) +Troid: which? warning, or locking? (21:39:01) +Troid: I think "knowing how to use" a warn function is extremely straightforwar (21:39:14) +Troid: locking and autosaging are not even on the table, they're clearly mod functions (21:39:26) +fsdfdsf: Yea but ya know, I remember when we could custom ban request (21:39:46) +fsdfdsf: I got people banned for funny shit (21:40:04) +BluRay: gununu (21:40:06) +fsdfdsf: That was bad though (21:40:51) +McNuggets: ah, you really don't want custom ban requests in my hands. I promise you that is a power I would ruin for everyone. (21:41:01) +fsdfdsf: Yea (21:41:05) +Spitch: Same (21:41:13) +fsdfdsf: Which ya know, it's kinda the same with warnings in my opinion (21:41:18) %Aerolite: McNuggets: it really wasn't a big deal; the difference now is that the templates just make these things a whole lot easier (21:41:22) +Troid: but they'd be templated (21:42:00) +Troid: their use is pretty obvious, unless you think there are NO situations where a user should be made explicitly aware of their rule violation, but doesn't deserve a ban (21:42:22) +Troid: mutes are nameless - "you are temporarily blocked from posting" (21:42:30) +Troid: a warning tells you "hey cut this out" (21:43:02) +Troid: idunno, seems like a good option to have to me (21:43:05) +McNuggets: I am curious as to what a mute looks like from the other side. I've actually never been Jani muted. (21:43:06) +Spitch: O (21:43:12) +Spitch: I'm on board with you Troid (21:43:23) +Troid: it looks like what I said, you try to post and you see "You are temporarily blocked from posting for XX minutes" (21:43:30) +McNuggets: no reason given? (21:43:33) +Troid: no (21:43:36) +McNuggets: wow (21:44:27) +McNuggets: wonder if it would be possible to make it like the ban, where they can see the reason and even the post that got 'em muted. (21:44:42) +McNuggets: then again, the flood on /q/ of screenshots of mutes ... hoo boy (21:45:02) +Troid: that has potential for backlash (21:45:21) +Troid: "look at this mute for this post, it clearly didn't break the rule specified, I didn't even get banned" (22:20:26) +yetsturdy: dashiCRAY: are you participating in the exterminatus? [...] (22:20:41) +dashiCRAY: exterminatus? (22:20:51) +yetsturdy: dashiCRAY: you're /mlp/, right? [...] (22:21:07) +dashiCRAY: yea but I havent ben surfing lately that mush (22:21:10) +Axism: exterminatus is the happening, right? (22:21:16) +Axism: in /mlp/?
