Actually the new mod had nothing to do with the creation of this site. It was, in fact, the absence of moderation and prevalence of 'well if I don't like this it's okay to troll it off the board!' attitudes that ultimately caused the creation of this site.

I think he was calling you a shit-eating retard of incredible proportions in the polite manner because this isn't 4chan and because the thread was on the Traditional Games board rather than the General Discus board where it should be if it really has to exist at all.

Because this isn't 4chan, so why should this site's mod look at another site's bullshit?

I'd say they went overboard; gave me no explanation other than "furry".

So if in fact what that other poster who masqueraded as Sergalfag says is true, then there's multiple mods and some of them have nothing better to do than to troll the backpages for material that personally offends them.

"physiological discussion", aka oh murr~ animal genitalia are delicious, and dumping sexy furry pictures was one of the reasons that made /tg/ the strictly regulated board it is right now.

That don't make no sense, boy. Backing up the rules with bans is necessary to encourage people to not break them in the first place, and to deter and prevent repeat offence. It's a failure of the mods not to ban you at the time, but an even greater one if they didn't ban you at all.

I'm just curious as to why the delay, really.

Could it be that /tg/'s new mod squad are reasonable and this whole thing is being blown out of proportion by crybaby whining from people who can't accept that mistakes happen and perverts who can't accept that it's not actually a porn board?

Sorry, getting banned because someone mentioned the word 'mods' is not reasonable.

And remember, the mods ban people, but they take the janitors' word for who needs banning.

Being critical of mods *when posting to the boards* is a rule. It's right there on 4chan.org/rules

(you DID read the rules, right? ...right?)

The rule isn't "you aren't allowed to complain," it's not even a "you are only allowed to protest in designated free-speech zones" (HI2U AMERiCA!). It's "don't get on stage just to bitch about the venue."

Do you really want to see the first two pages of /tg/ filled with threads of people who are demanding a mod's head on a pike after some troll claims his post was deleted because "a mod found out I'm a Jew and he's a fookin racist!" I've seen it happen. Claiming to be a victim is a terriffic way to both (a) get a lot of attention and sympathy, and (b) dilute any efforts to help people who really were wrong-done-by.

(fwiw i r nut a mod; I'm actually one of the dudes that got a nonsensical ban. 3-day ban, about 11 days ago, which for some reason still hasn't lifted.)

Oh hey, speaking of bans and junk: How do I appeal a ban when I can't access www.4chan.org from the banned IP ? I know the ban message is hosted on www.4chan.org because when I tried to access boards.4chan.org/tg/ i got "Location: www.4chan.org/banned", but obviously I can't see that URL anymore. A traceroute stops just one-hop short of the actual server, so I know it's not my ISP being a dick.

I know that feel, bro, and I'm a writefag. I'm scared to post original content because someone might *BLAM* me for violating some unwritten rule, calling me a furfag because there's an owlbear in an adventure encounter, or starting an edition war when I ask /tg/ for a review of the latest splatbook, god, I don't know anymore.

You give a rat an electric shock every time it touches the blue button, it will learn to avoid blue buttons. If you give the rat an electric shock at random times, it will go full-blown neurotic and depressed, avoiding even food and sleep.

Understandable.

Honestly, something needed to be done about /tg/ with the sheer amount of shit that was being posted, but the mods have obviously gone well overboard.

Hell, all of 4chans mods have become HURRDURR lately since the latest applications. I've been banned for reporting an abortion thread in /k/ ("abusing the report system"), asking a question in /jp/ that they didn't like (wasn't even trolling in the slightest), and most recently for giving someone who was trying to make yet another shitty DERP EUROPE VS AMERIKKKA thread a troll reply that pretty much amounted to "fuck off".

It's kinda sad that 4chan tends to attract the most idiotic people to become moderators.

People have all these awesome shit thread ideas that they haven't gotten a chance to try out, so they're doing them now. It'll be back to normal shortly. Barring immediate moderation resurgence, of course. The front page over my last couple refreshes has not contained anything of this nature, and there are a few quite interesting threads that are /tg/ related. Of course, it's too early to assume that this has become the default, there will likely continue to be higher than normal incidence of shit over the next week or two. But it's already below the "massive shitfest" levels we get when mods disappear.

Somebody came along and deleted gore-spam images in an off-topic thread, and left the social discussion alone, as well as a fair few pictures of ass and tits.
While I honestly don't care for this sort of thread, I nonetheless am glad that moderation is limiting itself to only the things that are truly found unsavory by everyone. One social thread is hardly ruining the board, while spamming shock images is quite unpleasant to some people, and does not remain in a single thread dedicated to it. It's intended, in this sort of situation, purely to displease people, and should be constrained to /b/.

There have been a few times where I was perplexed by the janitor's choice to delete a thread, and just as many times where I saw a blatant porn-thread last far longer than any should. I'd actually find it pretty believable if you were to tell me that /tg/ doesn't actually have a mod, just a random program set to a random number generator that zaps a post every so often.

Absolutely the mod plays favorites and grudges. Look at what happened to touhoufag, everyone remembers that.

Back early 2010 I was one of probably a bunch of people who emailed Moot begging for a mod to deal with the relentless advertising bots and the "elf slave wat do" spam.

By August or September I remember writing another email where I basically said we'd lost touhoufag due to the mod and he was too strict on on the flat out no-nudity/no-anthropomorphism, when the rules say no pornography/furry. It's much worse now, of course.

Never got a reply to either email, but I still regret asking for a mod in the first place. I'd rather be manually hiding/reporting the shitspam then losing everything else and then caught in the ban crossfire.

Now I don't know. Other people have said this before, but /tg/ used to be a place where people who played traditional games went to discuss. Now it's just a place to discuss traditional games, because everything else is bannable.

Just to educate you, and break the brainless whinefest a bit, here's a direct copypasta of 4chan's general rule #5.

Feel free to provide a source for this notion. I'm pretty sure "worksafe" varies highly based on culture, and is not defined in 4chan rules. As worksafe boards have advertisement which includes some nudity, 4chan's intended definition cannot be as restrictive as you suppose.

Not suitable/safe for work (NSFW), not work-suitable/safe (NWS), or not school-suitable (NSS) is Internet slang or shorthand. Typically, the NSFW tag is used in e-mail, videos, and on interactive discussion areas (such as Internet forums, blogs, or community websites) to mark URLs or hyperlinks which contain material such as pornography or profanity, which the viewer may not want to be seen accessing in a public or formal setting such as at work. For example, one may tag a URL as unsafe:

http://www.example.com/sextape.html (NSFW)

NSFW has particular relevance for individuals making personal use of the Internet at workplaces or schools which have policies prohibiting (even inadvertent) access to sexually explicit content. Companies and schools frequently adopt such policies because they regard the presence of sexually explicit content as a misuse of company property (or education resources) and, potentially, a violation of sexual harassment policy.

Determining a site to be NSFW is invariably subjective. The less frequently used warnings PNSFW (Probably/Possibly Not Safe for Work), LSFW (Less Safe for Work), TSFW (Technically Safe for Work), and PNFO (Probably Not for the Office) are sometimes used to indicate content possibly considered salacious (lustful) by certain censors, such as images of underwear or swimwear models, or a news story about sexual issues that does not contain explicit images. NSFW is also sometimes used to refer to any media that produces sound, such as a game or video file; the implication being that the noises may alert others in the vicinity that the user is taking a break with entertainment materials instead of working.

NSFW can be used flippantly under the same circumstances, to mean "Now Show Friends and Workmates".[1]

The opposite, SFW (safe for work) is sometimes used when the context or the URL itself would otherwise indicate that something is NSFW; for example:

http://www.example.com/pussy.jpg (SFW)

might link to a picture of a cat (SFW), for example, rather than female genitalia (NSFW).

Certain Internet security systems may block content unsuitable for children in schools.

As far as I'm aware, this statement is false.

Again, why do you keep repeating that without a reason? Frank Frazetta's art mentioned by

>Even though it might be related, it's clearly and openly NSFW

Whether or not it's NSFW is a subjective thing decided by whoever is moderating at the moment it's posted. The mod's not following a rule that says nudity = NSFW = delete/ban. The only reason why there's no difference is he's decided there isn't.

Maybe /tg/ needs spoiler images.

When reasonable criticism of moderation style contained within a single thread becomes not just 'sobbing and whining' but an actual reason to ban people, it's safe to say that the community is dead or dying.

A public access forum such as 4chan's /tg/ thrives when ideas and opinions may be freely discussed, but suffers when increasing numbers of topics become taboo according to the moderation staff.

It's also hard to deny the mod doesn't simply enforce rules as written, but applies rules based upon his or her opinion of the subject matter or poster which reeks of favouritism and nepotism.

Can you link me an archived post or screencap for that please? Easymodo, 4chanarchive, doesn't really matter. I'd love to see because it would at least give us something concrete to work from. I guess I could just ask the mods on irc "hey is all nudity nsfw and no-go on the blue boards" but that's a bit of a hassle.

>The thing to complain about is the amount of time that they spend just not bothering to enforce the NSFW rule, not when they actually do.

That sounds like support for the rule being uncertain as much as lazy moderation. Maybe the reason why that tasteful nudity in the art thread was spared while the elf slave thread above it was deleted a minute later had to do with the mod deciding the former didn't violate any rules.

Don't have a pic of it saved either? I usually save modposts that are more than "user was banned for this post" especially concerning the rules, but I've never seen a mod say that. The old sticky said something along the lines of "don't post porn, linking to it is fine". That's easy enough to follow but it would be nice to see some solid rules on the non-porn, like when quests become officially "/tg/ related" (too late but it was something)

So does "trolling", and "furry", and the "uncalled for" part of "uncalled for catchphrases", and...

The real world is fuzzy because it's the only way to get things done without slogging through legalese all the time (and it's not like that isn't still open to interpretation). There is a strong American-centric Internet convention that worksafe means your average American-centric workplace where as much as a woman posing in a swimsuit ("BUT BUT IT'S NOT EVEN NUDITY") is going to be considered inappropriate material to have on your screen. Deal with it.

As Seal said the problem is not that NSFW stuff is getting deleted, it's that they're not deleting it more often (which makes it seem inconsistent).

The issue with moderation on /tg/ isn't that it's strict.
If it had been strict in following the rules and if /tg/ was constantly pruned and policed, /tg/ might have been a worse place, but it wouldn't seem so... unjust. In lack of a better term.
/tg/s modding today is utterly arbitrary. There is no reasoning, no consistency and seemingly no intelligent thought behind it. Some people are banned for just about anything, some threads are deleted for no reason and anyone pointing this out is permabanned.

A police state wouldn't have been so bad, maybe i would have left, but it wouldn't be so rage inducing. It's what we have now that's bad, a Policestate run by a monkey banging on a computer.

Touhou is not /tg/-related and a flood of endless Touhout reaction facing/avatarfagging was a plague last year. Delete/ban-on-sight is a reasonable policy in this regard and lets moderators tackle a higher density of anime-fanatic idiocy than if they have to actually read the posts in context.

Also, it clearly worked since you reposted without the faggotry, thus making /tg/ a better place.

I don't think I every actually got banned from /tg/... /v/ a few times, and a few on other boards, but never /tg/. But it's just not the same now, I have no urge to go to it. The old times of self governing had their lowpoints, but you also know that you were able to try to change people's habits by using reason. Even though we all obviously weren't legal adults, the posters younger then me were trying to fit into board if they stayed, and it wasn't really that hard to guide them to be better posters. Yeah, we had a few fantasy fap threads, and some times we'd have to deal with a determined troll, but it was all part of the flavor the board had. Now it's just so sterile and everyone is walking on eggshells. It's not the place I loved to post, so I come here when I have the urge.

It's cute to be trolled, but /tg/ was a great board with minimal handling, and any long-time poster would tell you the same. Considering it's a board about GAMES, it's gotten far too serious business for my taste. So I don't go there to draw, write, talk about gaming experiences or build on gaming ideas. I sure never sat at a gaming table with other adults and assumed I couldn't make a crude joke or get a little crazy. But we have tgchan, and it's really the logical future for most posters.

This picture sums up what TG USED to be.
Then bit by bit part of the collective dissapeared and all that seems to be left is a mod who embraces the "MY /TG/" plague, and the people who follow him. Granted the board is more games oriented now, but people from ages gone miss the old collective that was once there simply because if such a thing ever happened, the mod would be too ban happy.

Quite frankly we had a thread on TG that went from discussing female characters to anime's. Was that a good topic? It was meh, did people like it? You betcha.
Why? Because it did something that the threads of old used to do, and people miss seeing that, even to a small degree. I am sure people will also remember the second picture I will post.

Flee is a troll. He's pretty efficient at trolling, but it's not fun or interesting trolling, it's just idiocy.

Zhakuvaan is sort of like a lesser Flee, except as I understand it he doesn't actually troll, he legitimately is just that much of a dumbass. And he has a huge sense of self-worth, believing his shit to be a positive contribution to /tg/.

Well I will: /tg/, and most of 4chan, would be better off without ANY moderation. Lenient moderation is not a bug, it's a selling point; if I wanted to have fruitful and polite discussions that are strictly on-topic, I would simply go to a regular discussion forum, of which there are countless. No moderation at all is better than strict moderation.

The ideal situation though would be a mod who only deletes CP and /b/ invasions, but never bans anyone and touches absolutely nothing else.

Yes, a cute code phrase for "read the mod's thoughts". They delete and ban based on their personal pet peeves, not the rules of the board.

Touhou illustrations are a fine example. Posting a Touhou picture, even when it illustrates a perfectly /tg/ related post, is a bannable offense and the sticky especially warns against it. But the thing is, THERE IS NO RULE THAT SAYS THAT. The only reason it is banned is because it aggravates the mods. We are expected to change our posting behavior according to the whims of these small-minded little Hitlers and if it isn't covered in the rules, they just tell us to "use our brain".

I used my brain and my brain told me that /tg/ has become a shithole.

It behooves a community to be able to discuss the state of itself. When you cannot, the community will eventually fall apart. This is true anywhere.

Meta for 4chan /tg/ was moved here because it's now a delete-on-site offense, which makes it awful hard to talk about. Here, there is no such rule.

>>316919

I, too, dislike the sticky a great deal, especially when it links to the site rules that really are not enforced, as well as warning about nonsensical ones. Why is touhou banned? It's not related to /tg/?

Then, really, neither is anything not from a sourcebook, like Pixiv Fantasia, or all those character-art threads. Or scenery threads. And the threads that start with a "unrelated pic" should have the image deleted as well.

Let's take a look at the sticky and break it down.

>Summer's encroaching! That means a lot of new posters arrive. Here are some quick guidelines for our new friends. Our long time posters should take heed of the guide anyway, it brings up some long overdue points.

In short, newfags and oldfags alike are shit posters, since they need to be alerted to this. Great to hear that vote of confidence.

>0. READ THIS FIRST. IT CAN SAVE YOU FROM A BAN. http://www.4chan.org/rules

Not really. You can be banned for anything the mod dislikes, and sometimes you won't get banned for posting gore and shock and CP.

>1. This board is for traditional games. Board games, card games, roleplaying games go here.

... As well as setting discussion, sometime moral debate, occasional real-life anecdotes (RANDOM ENCOUNTER threads) and various other discussions.

>2. Video games have their own board, over at /v/. Comics go to /co/, anime go to /a/, mecha go to /m/. Roleplaying games based on relevant content go here.

So ONLY images from sourcebooks, guys! And remember, no talking about settings that aren't published, because it's not a traditional game!

>3. Based on past incidents, there are some specific cases. Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress are generally welcome on /tg/, but don't overdo it. My Little Pony is NOT welcome, even in the guise of a traditional game. Dofus and Wakfu are welcome, if it's a traditional game. Talking about the animation or the MMORPGs will not be tolerated. Touhou has its place in /jp/ and /v/.

You're allowed a little of these two videogames, but god forbid there is more than one thread of each. And man, you better not start that Planescape, Neverwinter Nights, or Baldur's Gate shit here! Good lord, we hope you NEVER talk about vidya settings (such as Demon's Souls) in a traditional game, because it's VIDYA and NOT A TRADITIONAL GAME.

>4. If your post is a trolling shitpost, you may find yourself treated to a special summerfag ban. Generally one week global, it's more an encouragement to do better next time.

I hope you don't look like a troll in our eyes. OR ELSE.

>5. THINK. If a question can be answered by applying common sense to it, DO SO. With a bare minimum of human level intelligence, all problems can be solved without metathreads. The link to the rules right at the beginning should tell you that they're a bannable offense anyway.

No talking about this shit, because maybe you'll realize a little faster that the place has gone to absolute shit.

I'm more likely to hate the player (haw a person reacts) not the game (subject).
A friend of a friend - well HE always tries to play catgirls in games no matter what the settings. - That's furry. along with his um.. "inclinations"
My roommate has been wearing these bunny ears on and off since just before Easter (scares the fuck out of her cat when she does so...)
meh, it's just something on her head that makes her look cute.. bout as bad as the tricorn I wear. I know it suits me and I look good in it rather than some sort of hipster hat.
If a story is about people who just happen to be animals and it is not balanced towards sex in a weird way it's not furry. If it's the game player above - who does spend an unhealthy time (I'm told) trying to "get yiffy" well then he's a "fuckin furry"

>>Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress are generally welcome on /tg/
>You're allowed a little of these two videogames, but god forbid there is more than one thread of each. And man, you better not start that Planescape, Neverwinter Nights, or Baldur's Gate shit here! Good lord, we hope you NEVER talk about vidya settings (such as Demon's Souls) in a traditional game, because it's VIDYA and NOT A TRADITIONAL GAME.

Here's another fine example of the mod hypocrisy: why the fuck is Minecraft of all things allowed? It's not an RPG, not even an RPG hybrid like Dorf Fort. There's nothing "traditional" about it, it's a new flavor-of-the-week indie game. Might as well be Angry Birds for all the sense it makes. Why, of all things in the world, Minecraft, and not, say, Dungeon Crawl?

Well the answer is obvious: the mod likes Minecraft, so it gets special treatment.

The funny thing (well maybe not) was about 15 min later there was a Space Wolves thread mostly populated by pics form "Spice and Wolf"
- obliviously this (pictured) isn't "furry" at all.

As to what I was asking about....
I have a problem with the psych profile and particularly coolness under fire.
I mean having a character freeze up in combat might be "realistic" but it's also kind of dickish playwise. A character who chooses to take some sort of flaw and freeze under fire is however fine by me.
Also the games just a wee bit nit-picky regarding encumbrance.

"Spice and Wolf" is pretty much anime faggotry and it's obviously not furry because arbitrary shit. As Horo = Leman Russ is an old and tired meme.

Steve Gallaci was a US Airforce engineer, he kind of made the game lean towards realism and faux realism which is nice atmosphere wise, but some design choices are plain dickish.

As encumburance... the game isn't really 'solo-friendly' so I can see that. Besides from what I remember I think furries are a tad smaller than humans...

Oh, I figured it out, they ban everything that doesn't fit their personal tastes untill people either leave or learn to respect the mods, so they can claim that they follow the tastes of community!

What is even more ironic is that the mods probably thing this is massive imrovement over what 4chan used to be. They really belive that by forcing people to be civil, not post NSWF and other offensive stuff and stay on topic will make 4chan even better, but they somehow forget about the fact that by forcing this they remove what made 4chan popular and different from the other internet fora in the first place.

This isn't the 4chan /tg/ metasubforum. This is the board for /tg/ -- traditional games. Not /tg/ -- 4chan /tg/ moderation. If you want to whine about 4chan's /tg/, the general board would be the appropriate place.

There is bile about Furry RPGs. Ironclaw has a whole negative attention even though system wise it's pretty good. The background is very 'standard fantasy' with more 'byzantine politics' theme.

Furry pirates... I heard a lot of praise, but never found a copy.

Albedo - Well we all had an Albedo discussion. From Hard Sci-Fi I think that's one of the better systems out there.

Usagi Yojimbo - if you hate these system or comics because they're 'furry', you're a moron. The only problem I have with the RPG is that it's extremely simplistic yet the world is rich and interesting. Kind of drives me away from playing it.

After the bomb... I heard it's really fun if you're a TMNT fan. Never checked it out.

What you're referring to started as a joke between the creators. And got used in few storylines. Had no impact other than entertainment.

3.You sicken me and I gotta fuckin' white knight my fucking childhood dawg.

Which was a lot better than the horrible old goofy show and was based on the original comic storyline.

4.Seriously, I mean a Samurai bunny guy is an awesome concept really. Especially when you realize he wasn't designed by fetishists and rather by businessmen that wanted to capitalize on children's merch. It takes all the disgust away like a baptism.

You got your facts wrong there chief. First of all Stan doesn't really care much about business. He's more of a storyteller than a businessman. He just thought it would be cool to use 'funny animals' as referred to back then in a samurai comic. And later he just got more intensive researching into ancient Japanese mythos and putting them into comic with Usagi.

Oh and his first appearance was in Albedo which can be referred to as a 'furry zine'. So yeah, it's those darn fetishists again!

That has basically nothing to do with my point that this looks like a pirate RPG with gratuitous furries on top, not least because the title is "Furry Pirates". As in the impression it gives is "I have this mediocre pirate RPG, to make it sell better I will dress it up with superficial aspects which will appeal to a rather desperate demographic".

I'm not sure in what way it being in the '90s is supposed to be relevant. Furries were around then too, you know.

Big fish in a small pond.

Something tells me this mod is same one we had since last year October. Only now he's done some off time lurking and knows a little more about the board's activities and jargon.

Judging by the new sticky, the mod wants to encourage a more laid back and care-free atmosphere, completely different from the draconian authoritarian regime we had before.

However, I doubt the mod has the peace of mind to adjust so radically, and I don't think he would so easily forsake his pride, ego, or e-peen to govern /tg/ fairly or with enough open understanding of its subject matters, both the good and the depraved.

Seriously, if pornography is such a huge problem, just implement spoiler tags. To be quite frank, /co/ is more furry then /tg/ as they post furry porn all the god damn time, without anyone batting an eye, or their mods caring, this also extends to "furry" roleplaying supplements.

And oh man I really want to find out what makes him tick. But I fear in doing so would only make /tg/ a more deplorable place to have fun in.

Oh and just a heads up, "Sergal", "Sergalfag" and any combination of words thereof, are officially banned text. So the next time you see that avatarfag shitting up a thread, don't type his name.

I wouldn't call it a sex quest since the main problem to solve was future post-scarcity information economy hyper-virus malarky that nobody could really understand, and it just had sex in it rather than sex being the ONLY or even main thing in it (c.f.

Pretty sure dwarves could make a claim for that title, actually. (Although chewing out people for "not respecting dwarves" is equally retarded.)

>So it has fucking and a "story"
No, it has a story. You know, the one without the sarcasm quotes.

>Sounds like a sex quest to me.
Amazingly, if you read my post, you'll find that I said that some people would indeed think this! I didn't even imply that they were stupid for it. Well done for finding a way to still be stupid about it, though; it's the kind of dedication to idiocy which makes /meep/ what it is.

You know Lionsphil, Pink Dragon actually had a plot. It's not really my fault suggesters went to have sex at the nearest opportunity.

But I guess you can only whine and moan about things you don't know shit about. If you're willing to present a really constructive criticism on the quest, I invite you to hit me on IRC and talk about it. A lot of people actually helped me to see what I've done wrong with the quest and well Lost Planet seem to be dodging a lot of that stuff.

If you still continue to be a whiny baby about things, well then... maybe you should leave the site if you hate it so much.

It pretty much is when you make the protagonist a slut and make pretty much the only thing to interact with be people for him to fuck while waiting on a train. Like N, you were actively egging it on at points. Unlike N, those points were pretty much the entire duration of the quest before you ragequit and eventually deleted it, and it didn't appear to be for any plot reason.

One more time:
Remember: only you can prevent sex quests

>whine and moan about things you don't know shit about
Oh, I'm sorry, I'll just go fact-chec---no, wait, I can't, because the quest never got past "RIDE LIZARDMAN COCK", and then got deleted.

>I invite you to hit me on IRC
That's nice. I invite you to go stand on the surface of Venus. At least retarded arguments that I am too stupid to ignore on /meep/ move with a certain level of pacing and are easily hidden by everyone else with more sense. IRC piranha feeding frenzies are just shit for everyone involved and shittier for everyone not involved and wanting to actually do something worthwhile in the channel.

Unless you mean in privmsg, in which case the answer is also no because I'm not really interested in a spiel about how using your shitty sex quest as an example of shitty sex quests is so mean of me, nor excuses for how they totally wouldn't be in some parallel universe where you didn't run them as sex quests for the entire duration of their existence.

>A lot of people actually helped me to see what I've done wrong with the quest and well Lost Planet seem to be dodging a lot of that stuff.
And that's great and I'm sure you and them are having a lot of fun, whee, that is sincerely a good thing. You may also note I said nothing about Lost Planet.

- The protagonist wants to go to a city and gain power there

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...

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 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.

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.

>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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
