It's still a posted rule of the board. If you don't want to take the chance of getting caught and having a post deleted, the simplest way is to not break it.
Try applying that reasoning to a speeding ticket and see how well it works.

So I didn't cap it but I got a warning from the mod that said that:

"...Grandpa Dreadnought threads should be fine in /b/. Pass this message around."

So, there it is, spreadin' the Word.

Someone started a thread on /tg/ about Full Thrust.
So I converted the 12-page free starter rules for Full Thrust from PDF to *.png files, and posted them to the thread.

Get a 3-day ban from ALL BOARDS for "posting irrelevant garbage." what the shit.

Yeah, he mentioned that when he was posting in a shit thread a bit ago, too. Seems silly to me, but there you go.

It's a cunning ruse to entrap you into getting permabanned for bandodging.

Thread in /tg/ asking for the Cthulhu-themed Magic:theGathering cards.
I post a reply with no picture: "have you seen the card game called 'Necronomicon'? It is a Cthulhu themed card game."
Now banned from all boards on 4chan for "posting a referer link."

... what the fuck is going on over there? Seriously, this is unreal.

>>17744

It's because you didn't post Hecatomb.

>>17744
You know I think it may be an issue with the board itself, I wasn't even on 4chan today and somehow I scored a 1day ban for the same thing.

I haven't needed to go to /tg/ out of boredom for a while thanks to Skyrim / Skyward Sword but now... well I NEED to go back.

Is this going to happen after the last week of shit on 4chan's /tg/? A ton of people just got banned for posting in a thread posted to coordinate an emailing campaign to tell moot we want a new mod. Talk about abuse of power...

Picture Unrelated

Global rule 8 of 4chan: Complaining about 4chan (its policies, moderation, etc.) on the imageboards can result in post deletion and banishment. The administrator will address your questions, comments, complaints, and concerns via e-mail.

Enforcing rules is not an abuse of power.

The rule itself is an abuse of power.

If you believe /tg/'s mod is corrupt, just contact /tg/'s mod and have him look into it.

The rule itself is to prevent metatalk and butthurt "but I'm a victim!" self-righteous shitposting.

Trying to use a place controlled by a mod of /tg/ to complain about a mod of /tg/ was monumentally stupid on your part. Stop thinking that 4chan is a civil service. It's private property, even if they leave the doors open and let crackheads sleep on the floor. If you thought it was public property, and you had any rights other than what is granted to you as a guest, you're stupider than you look.

If you want to bitch about /tg/, come here to tgchan and do it.

Well, every other board was talking about the new shit, but I guess banning for meta is still within the rules regardless.

Of course there's another thread on the same topic RIGHT THE FUCK NOW
http://boards.4chan.org/tg/res/17984195

Huh, I've yet to be banned yet. But that may be because I'm around when the mod isn't I guess. I seem to have broken enough rules to warrant at least a week long ban.

>>19770
>private property
Why did moot make 4chan anyway? Does he make any money off of it?
The mods are really just entrusted guests of the owner as well, not the real owners of the place. And the term "guests" goes out the door if moot makes money off of 4chan traffic, then they help with his source of income, so a different word should apply for all 4chan users, simple users or mods alike.

I don't really care about 4chan politics, I'd just like some clarification on some of these matters. I'm not arguing about any of the 4chan policies here or even care since I don't go there. Just asking a bit of a question and/or debating a definition of a word in this situation.

>>20328
>Why did moot make 4chan anyway?
To talk about anime with his little weeaboo buddies.
>Does he make any money off of it?
He was $20k in debt from 4chan before he added the current ads. Dunno how he's doing now. I know he made canv.as because he needed the money and someone offered to bankroll him.

I don't know what term would be most accurate for the mods, but /tg/'s mod has said he considers himself an Inquisitor of moot.

>>20336
Is that mod good friends with moot? That's a little presumptuous to say. In my opinion.
How did a private board even get as big as 4chan when it was just for talkin' bout anime with bros?

>>20341
It had the benefit of being an unofficial spin-off community from SomethingAwful. Moot put 4chan up, and then posted about it in the Anime Death Tentacle Rape Whorehouse board on the SA forums, and attracted enough of a following from that so that 4chan started with a large user base from day one. It didn't take long for it to attract non-SA users and grow into its own. It's because of that large initial injection of users that it was able to build a community without dying from lack of content like most image boards do.

posting in a troll thread
which was really more of a 'OP hates the mods wat do' thread

as far as I know the entire thread got banned

It seems the mod has realized there are no appeals on two day bans.

if, for some reason, you really want to, during the mod's off hours you can post various nsfw materials (not in the first post) and after everyone else has contributed, delete your own posts and let everyone else get banned

>>20392

Go on their IRC channel and demand it be upgraded to a three day ban, specifically so that you can appeal it. They'll just drop the 2 day ban.

I totally earned these bans. But it's interesting to note the different ban styles. The mod who got me on /a/ just banned me from /a/. The mod on /tg/ did all boards, but also for only one day.

So many of you may know what a shitstorm /v/ went into last weekend with the sudden overmoderation, the newfriends supporting the overmoderation by saging every single thread that wasn't strictly the discussion of a video game and yadda yadda, and people getting annoyed by the sagebombers, retaliating by sagebombing even vidya discussion, pretending to be the "rulefags".
It was an absolute shitstorm.

But in the end, moot stepped in and told the mod(s) to cut down on the moderation.

So why hasn't moot done this with /tg/ also? If he agrees that overzealous moderation is bad, why hasn't he done anything about /tg/?

Unless he has, and I've just been away from /tg/ for so long I have missed any recent events.

>>20430
He probably has, just not publicly. The moderation is much less bad than it once was.

I didn't make an elf slave wat do thread. All I did was say that elf slave wat do isn't explicitly against any rule. I can see the mod's point about rule 6 applying, but why the fuck is this a seven day ban?

I am left to conclude that the mod is a faggot.

Banning people for posting in "troll threads" kind of seems against the whole /tg/ "take a shitpost, make something worthwhile out of it" thing.

>>20731

That has never been a /tg/ thing. No moreso than on /v/. It happened once in a blue moon.

>>20731
I wasn't even in an elf slave wat do thread. It was just pointing out something that didn't fit well under any rule in off-topic discussion in a normal thread.

>>20732
I've seen it happen pretty damn often.

>>20731
Unfortunately, it is also a tacit encouragement of troll threads. The "just sort it out amongst yourselves" route of dealing with troll threads works fine among a generally level-headed population but, well, 4chan.

>>20733

You have hilariously low standards for 'worthwhile.'

I just got banned for a week for "Completely retarded shitposting and trolling." The catch? I have spent the last couple days posting in precisely one thread, and I'm fairly sure I did not troll in it even once.

I posted an appeal, but am not expecting it to do anything. I mean, why would it? Why would they care they maybe possibly banned one person by accident?

So apparently Quest threads on /tg/ are automatic autosage?
Anyone got any info on that?

>>20754

Thulsa Doom, traditionally on /tg/, demands bitches. He received tribute recently from that flutteranon camwhore, and others, although I've not seen her around lately and don't know what the story is there if indeed there is one. I've also seen Thulsa Doom herald some more generic porn, lately. Prior to Flutteranon I don't think there had been Thulsa Doom threads for a few years, though.

So that's where all the shitty suggestions came from!

We haven't needed this thread in a long time. But lately 4chan cup threads have been getting deleted and now this thread was:
https://archive.foolz.us/tg/thread/23192301/
Admittedly, it's not directly on topic; it starts about shirtless adventuring and then some good arguments are made about the merits of Imperial notation (and the same ones we're all familiar with in favor of metric) and it was beginning to discuss theology when it was deleted. With minor but continuous forays into gay territory due to OP's image choice. So maybe it's not totally worth getting mad over, but still. There's moderation on /tg/ again.

But now this one's gone
https://archive.foolz.us/tg/thread/23194393/
That one strikes me as plenty /tg/-related.

On the other hand for that one it's also a possibility that the OP deleted it.

I wasn't aware that /tg/ ever stopped being a police state.

That's a bad mindset. Communication only works if people are allowed to share ideas that seem ridiculous. Even if you think it's wrong, even if I think it's wrong, we have to let people say things and subject them to fair debate. Otherwise, we might end up prejudiced against an idea that turns out to be perfectly good.

I guess some of you might not have been around for /tg/ before the mod but I was and it was easily the best forum/board of any kind I have ever posted on. Then some dipshit ruined it because he wanted to feel like he had a big dick.

The real crux of the matter. 99% of threads are shit now? 99% of threads were always shit. You don't remember shit threads, so 'the olden days' will always look rosy and perfect in hindsight.

>>23946
But is that /tg/ merely conforming to Sturgeon's Law, or is it exceptional in its shitholeness?

Agreed, but the year or so before that was the best /tg/ has ever seen.

>>23951

No, it sucked too. Still plenty of 40kfags trying to troll everything that wasn't 40k off the board.

>>23952
There was plenty of 40kids around, sure, including plenty of folks who brought 40k into threads about it, but people doing it with malicious intent (besides against furry threads as it would be against mlp today) was rare enough as to be all but nonexistant. It was just a case of people having fun with stuff.

>>23955

>was rare enough as to be all but nonexistant.

It is baffling to me that you would talk about 'a great year' for /tg/ when you were clearly never there.

And of course, before that it was all 'Shit Twinkie' edition wars.

SUCH A GREAT BOARD SURE DOES TURN TROLLING INTO GOLD ALL THE TIME

>>23996
No, that shit was never very common. And edition warring, while fairly retarded, was only ever more than a few threads at any given time for like, a month or so after 4e came out. After that there was rarely more than one active edition war at a time, and sometimes none at all.

okay, so you really didn't actually visit /tg/ during the time you are pining for.

Just wanted to confirm that.

>>23996
>>24012
I don't remember too much 40k spamming. I do remember a lot of people whining that 40k was so popular. I guess we know who was doing the whining huh? I guess you weren't able to appreciate the vast majority of the rest of the board that was actually good until the mod shit all over it and just prefer to focus on stupid horseshit that no one should care about, like people arguing about different editions of dungeons and dragons sometimes. Are you fucking kidding me?

>>24060

See? This is the problem. Retards like you being against the mod make me more inclined to take his side even though it was the incorrect solution to /tg/'s problems. Changing one shithole for another shithole isn't improvement.

I haven't been on /tg/ in a long time, mainly because I am here usually. Or on some thread that is actually not a "police state" As you put it.

So, quests are now getting banned from /tg/. Not all and not most though, and some folks suspect vendetta. Quest thread generals are also getting banned, and notably this started after people in those threads started commenting on the deaths of the various quest threads.

>>26896
That's very ruff. Writequests are getting more and more welcome here, although whether the QMs themselves will mind our, um, ambiance is another question.

Yeah. There's a heavy focus on drawquests here still and the furries are stronk, but we always welcome new blood with open arms.
IIRC we already have a couple /tg/ refugees going here, right?

>>26899
We had that King's Blade guy, but he casualed out.

Personally, I go on /tg/ all the time and I'm glad quests and quest generals are being banned. I don't hate quests or I wouldn't be here, but they sure as fuck aren't related to traditional games and, worse yet, 90% of them are crap.

>>26900
90% on /tg/, that is. Only about 20% or so here, including the ones that are terrible on purpose.

>>26901
Well, the main issue on 4chan is there's nowhere more appropriate for quests to go.
