That's really pathetic. I haven't been noticing the mod's crazy for a while, but that's just unreal.

Oh, I'm gonna have so much fun with that image. I can troll literally any fluff discussion with it.

Only question is if I should tell Warhammer fluff to go to /v/ or /lit/.

Actually... Mod Libs sounds like a fun /tg/-related game to play. Do you guys have other good images for it?

>>19465
...Sigh. The topic of the thread was 'Times you trolled people by playing a canon character' and I did basically human Rainbowdash as a Scion, sans the rainbow hair.

Got a ban. Appealed saying I was trying to delete my own post after someone complained.

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.

I guess I'll look in this thread if there's a how to ban evade with IP changing I keep being told I have.

A just and well deserved ban.

Posting ponies in any kind of fashion will create a shitstorm. Don't. Fucking. Do it.

True but it was completely relevant to the post at hand, and even in my appeal said when people were angered, I tried to delete it but never knew how to do so. No post I ever submitted caused rage like that before.

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.

>>19770
>If you want to bitch about /tg/, come here to tgchan and do it.
Why here? These dumbfucks can't even look past page 0 to find all the previous "wah I got banned SO UNFAIR" threads.

>>19766
I tried to move that thread into this thread, but it broke. Dylan will probably fix it when he wakes up, but it should be safe to continue that conversation here. Maybe.

Please use this thread for /tg/ related discussion.

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.

something along the lines of 'thulsa doom isn't around here anymore.'

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.

The 'report' button is hardly difficult to find. Enjoy your self-inflicted bans.

>>20497
Yeah, I got that too. Was confused at first as to why I couldn't post since I hadn't done anything wrong and my plugin hasn't yet been updated to notify of bans in light of the new "you can lurk but not post" system.

>>20500
It wasn't a troll thread, just a bit of nostalgia. Nobody was trolled.

Why did the mod delete my quest thread about embodiments of concepts fighting a meaningless war against humans due to a conspiracy and leave up GOD DAMN STRIKE WITCHES AND MAHOU SHOUNEN

>>20519
Because the mod is a weeaboo faggot.

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
The autosage bug has been around for some time now. It's not just quest threads.

I was aware the mod had...issues with our favourite games developer but this exceeded expectations.

>>21061
Wait, what?

>>21062
What don't you get? He was banned for posting in a Thulsa Doom thread. Kind of retarded to ban for just posting in it but I imagine the mod would just say it falls under rule 6.

>>21064
I don't get what Thulsa Doom has to do with porn.

I'm not sure I want to know.

>>21097
It's kinda a meme thing. "Bitches for Thulsa Doom and all. You post Thulsa Doom, and people think you want bitches.

>>21097
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.
