First thread is auto-saging

To summarize what's going on...

>/cgl/ is full of off topic threads
>Tripfags who are doing their best to make the board better are ignored while trolls are praised
>Many helpful tripfags have been banned (Johnny Bravo, Decade, Comedy OP) and their threads deleted meanwhile many troll threads still take up a majority of the front page
>Gropey the Clown was permaban even though he posted helpful content

>> No.6420168

Make way for all 'gropey was a shit poster' comments.
Fuck you and fuck you again.

But since this topic is up can we collectively report threads thatre off topic now?

NO YOU DUMBSHIT. We don't have mods here 24/7 - but when the OT threads are reported enough to get their attention, they ALWAYS delete them. They NEVER die from autosage.

I do agree that general make-up/skin care aren't really board related (at least from a pure lolita and cosplay perspective), /fa/ doesn't seem like a good home for them. /fa/ tends to focus more on male fashion and hitler youth haircuts for some reason.

I think we either need a /girl/-themed board for stuff like that, or just go back to calling /cgl/ it's true name, /DRAMA/, and let the threads stay here.

No. No girl themed boards. They'll just turn into /cgl/2 with the troll threads. Yea, I know they focus on that (truth be told, I never post there)
But a lot of tips are the same unless someone is suggesting make up for you. But like I said before, its the comments that make it board related. But most I see are "hey gals, going for ice cream what should I do with my eyeshadow" which then its off topic.
I don't report it unless its that.

I feel like /cgl/'s makeup/green-text threads are not really "offtopic" as they are just part of /cgl/'s culture. A makeup/skincare thread on /cgl/ is not going to be the same as if it was posted on /fa/. (because /cgl/ is full of weebs looking for kawaii desu looks and asian products, not look-booking.)
And the mods that delete joann fab/weeb green-text threads are just retarded.
They should be deleting the shitty samefagging /r9k/ threads.

anyone else get banned for a reason you don't understand?
for example: I was shooping people on a shoop thread and got banned for pic related. I have received this ban recently (last week).. this cap was from a while back..
The only thing that I could possibly think of being banned for was a single post that I used (obvious) sarcasm on.

>> No.6420296

Honestly, I would rather have no moderation on this board than whatever mod is running amok here. Two of my friends have been banned from /cgl/ for not having "high quality posts" enough (basically the mod just wanting to ban people without an excuse) and I was banned once for 14 days for sarcastically telling someone to go back to facebook, claiming I was citing an invasion.

/cgl/ is a small board and while it might be annoying sometimes to deal with off-topic stuff it's a lot better than having some asshole mod crowning himself the officially sheriff of our little board and doing more harm than good.

Luckily I am behind a router and can change my IP whenever I want, so I couldn't give a shit if the moron tries to throw down frivolous bans. But it's still retarded and discourages people from posting here.

Next time it happens I'm just going to write a formal email to Moot telling him about whats going on. Who knows if he'll even do anything, but it doesn't hurt.

This. We always had a few off-topic threads on the main page, but it could be easily ignored. What can't be ignored is the constant banning of threads considered part of this board's culture, such as alternative j-fashions, j-pop/k-pop celebrities, EVEN SKIN CARE threads being banned. All this while threads made by /fit/izens and /a/ssholes asking why /cgl/ is full of bitches remain on the first page and the posters are not banned. Never.

a) He is always avatarfagging.
b) The focus of the thread is entirely on him. He's not making a thread for people to compliment each other. He's making a thread for you to post your pics for him, and wait for ~*his*~ special snowflake response.

If you want compliments, make a compliment thread. But without Roko avatarfagging it up to eleven.

1 Pictures depicting those in costume play ("cosplay") and elegant gothic lolita ("EGL") dress are welcome.
2 Don't bring community drama into this board. Singling out particular cosplayers and trolling them will not be tolerated.
3 ALL DRAMA ALL THE TIME!

these are the actual rules. I've been banned recently for number #2, even though rule #3 is a clear contradiction. Although it was obviously a sarcastic addition (probably around the time our name was changed to /drama/), at the same time it is an acknowledgement that petty girl bullshit is a very integrated part of our board's culture. If every other board gets to have their own shitty aspects, why can't we have ours? It's why I love this place so much.

Also why is our board being penalized for adopting the "off-topic" threads that other boards refuse to tolerate? None of the other boards are going to allow us to talk about skin care, make-up, hair and other subcultures of Japanese fashion. People touting that it needs to be taken to /fa/-- have you even BEEN there? They don't want these threads and we embrace them with open arms. Wouldn't the issue then be with the other boards that won't let us talk about this shit even though that's "supposed" to be their territory? This board is already extremely narrow in its topic; there is only so much you can talk about something as niche as cosplay and lolita. I think people across the board here mutually agree that other Japanese fashion subcultures and body care general are okay because they are so closely integrated into the topic of discussion here.

I think that the users here are not so much an issue than the fact that the scope of discussion for the board itself needs to be broadened. To me this would be a much better solution than trying to destroy to literally destroy the culture of /cgl/. It's not going to go back to the way it was 9 years ago. It would be beneficial to lessen the reigns on what is, again, an extremely niche topic.

same thing happens in compliment sandwich threads as the OP goes through and compliments people.

Also people in JB threads are free to compliment the girls it's just many people have openly admitted in the threads that they don't want to as they don't want to post something inferior to what JB makes.

However compliments are still shared and encouragement is still given by third parties.

If the threads were all about him then they would be able to continue if no one posts pictures. Guess what happens when no one posts? The thread dies.

I'm surprised some people are still acting as if we are living the spamocalypse. How short their memories must be to forget how bad it was just a few months ago.

I appreciate the work our janitors have done, if anything they are perhaps a bit too trigger happy nowadays, removing threads that have traditionally been accepted. Fr.ex. I don't understand deleting make-up threads. Isn't hat part of the basic cosplaying skill set, like sewing? Yet nobody seems to mind when somebody asks for general help with sewing techniques and what sewing machine they should buy etc. Seems like there's a perception problem there.

This. In the early days of /q/, before they made a rule of not taking any board requests, there was a continuous demans to make a /fem/ board - for fashion, hair, make-up, skin care, period threads and no husbando feels. Mootykins said that there is no need for such a board as these topics belong to their respective boards (/fa/, /adv/) and anything else that doesn't goes under a board are automatically distributed to /cgl/. Yet here we are, a few months later, with every fucking thread on these topics being banned out of /cgl/. I am thinking of e-mailing moot and see his standpoint of this.

I don't think we need the board topic broadened. /fa/ is male-centric and they're not going to change that, so the logical thing to do is make a female /fa/ equivalent. That's why /cgl/ takes the brunt of makeup and hairstyles and fashion and feminine hygiene threads - it doesn't belong here, but there's no other female-centric board to put it on. Just like there's no "sexy people" board, rather the topic is split between /s/ for attractive women and /hm/ for attractive men.
