Is anyone else pissed at the janitor? I don't understand why completely on topic threads get deleted. You could take the friend search thread for example. It was on topic and it addressed the lolita and cosplay communities. This in my opinion is completely on topic.

This thread is for discussion of issues on cgl regarding what is on topic and if there is any kind of solution to threads being deleted.
It will be incredibly ironic if this thread is deleted but it will prove my point.

Ey, I'm really glad I wasn't the only one to realize the friend finder thread had been deleted. I thought I was just not seeing it at first until I looked a few more times. I wish they would've kept it because it was a lot more on-topic than some of the other shit storms going on right now.

Aside from that -- the point of the tumblr threads, and the friend finder thread, was to help cosplayers network and meet other cosplayers/lolitas.

Apparently not since you're posting in this thread.

This position ("board purity") is retarded, we're here for a lot more than just to discuss costumes and the act of wearing them alone. It applies to all boards, there are a lot of interesting secondary topics that would kill all the fun if they were removed.

If you'd been here very long you'd know the only time /cgl/ shifts from mocking and detesting SJWs to full-on misandry mode is when provoked by neckbeards who literally think that being a convention creep is ok if you fit some minimum standard of hygiene and facial symmetry, like >>7553063. So, that too is shitposters' fault.

>> No.7553140

>>7553131
This post is confusing me deeply.
The first part is calling out Claude for saying that the shitposters shouldn't be discussing shitposter things, and would indicate that you think topics like that (whether all women are attention whores etc) belong here.

The second part seems to agree with OP and most of the other posters, who think it's stupid that the janitor is deleting friending threads and other correlated topics, /while leaving shitposters/.

>who literally think that being a convention creep is ok if you fit some minimum standard of hygiene and facial symmetry
Minimum standard? I don't think that's what I was saying. Rarely would you call a guy you're physically attracted to 'creepy'. They'd have to be mentally ill.

>> No.7553145

>>7553141
Creepiness is a behavior. Taking upskirt shots, touching boobs and asses. Cosplayers aren't going to be into that no matter what the guy looks like and if you think otherwise take your neckbeard and leave.
Addendum -- guys who are attractive are actually never going to be spotted doing so because they're not going to stoop to titgrabbing, they're going to talk to the girl like a sane person. That's why they "don't get called out". It's not because of being found personally attractive by the cosplayer.

I am only pointing out the contradiction in the first part. I am not expressing my opinion there.

Friending threads are not really cosplay. "b-buh they", no, they're not cosplay. But I still think it's nice to have "friending threads" or whatever. This point has a problem is what I'm saying:
> we're here for cosplay and lolita. Save that stuff for r9k
We're here for a lot more things than just cosplay and the act of wearing it. Friends and fun are in fact allowed here, and that sometimes includes things you don't like. If we applied your principle consistently, friending threads would go straight to /soc/, which is obviously not right.

I just don't understand why bans go out for relatively minor things and blatant shitposters, trolls, etc. don't ever seem to be punished. I got a short ban for replying to someone who was derailing, which fair enough, was off topic. But if that's the punishment for getting off topic, you would think than repeated shitposters would get something worse.

I don't know what to say about the "It Came From Tumblr" thread. I was one of only a few people who were posting actual content in it, while everyone else was just derailing. I'd love to have a thread to laugh at all the awful cosplays I see on tumblr, but if we can't have it without getting massively off topic, then the whole thread should probably just be deleted.

Ahh ok. That very first post you replied to was not me but I agree with them.

To me the difference is that friendzoning isn't even tangential to cosplay, but the friending threads are, well, to find people to cosplay with. Like, there needs to be a line somewhere. Things tangential can stay. A cosplay feels thread is good, a general feels thread or "tell me about your dating life" thread not so much.

You misread my post (it's an understandable misreading though.) See the first part -- upskirting, boob grabbing, and other behaviors will be just as creepy if someone "attractive" does it.
Many people who are conventionally attractive have been treated "better" by society, they will be more used to talking to people as a result, and be more likely to talk to the person instead of spaghetti-ing up and grabbing their boob. Of course if they went ahead and did the creepy behavior anyway, it would still qualify as such. But you see it less because of how they have been socialized.

>> No.7553257

Yes, because at least those threads were lively and sometimes funny. On such a varied board, you're always going to have to sift through content you don't care about in order to find the stuff that you do. I have at least 100 threads hidden right now but you don't see me bitching about people posting things I don't like. If threads about lolita/cosplay in the media are allowed we should be able to talk about ALL relevant people in the media (i.e. Dakota), and if ita and bad makeup threads are still allowed then we should still be able to talk about PT and Asherbee without being banned. Threads created specifically to hate on those people are not okay, but we should still be able to talk about them when they're relevant without being banned.

I don't get these posts in this thread. I never see SJW text posts here unless they're a joke or trolling. Do you take them literally? Or is this a case where you attack anyone that's like "this coord isn't terrible just BECAUSE someone's [black/brolita/etc], here's what can be improved" and go "GO BACK TO TUMBLR FEMINIST WHORE", get banned, then get pissed that your post got deleted?

Because I see shit like that in threads all the time and it amazes me how little self-awareness people like that have.

If you want me to investigate any specific examples of inappropriate deletions, please give me post numbers or links on http://rbt.asia/cgl/

However, checking the logs shows that fewer than 20 threads were deleted in the last seven days, and none of them are jumping out at me as being inappropriate.

Hey MOOT! (Trying the 3 times to summon theory)

I really, really HATE that we can't have fitness threads on /cgl/ anymore. I posted one not realizing the rules had changed, and it immediately was deleted and I got banned. Fucking ridiculous.

Fitness is a valid cosplay topic, and I am pissed my only alternative is to deal with the cesspool that is /fit/. So my cosplay fitness thread can be invaded by douchebags saying "tits or gtfo" or "plz b in london", or "post pics so I can help ;)" and all of the general /fit/ fuckery. Really?

After my ban was lifted, I did go to /fit/ and post a cosplay fitness thread and they were like "wtf are you doing here, go back to /cgl/ cunt." So yeah.

I have a theory that the janitor really likes Voldie. That's why you get instabanned just for talking to her and why you get banned for calling out autism-chan as well, if they are indeed one in the same.
I've gotten banned just for pointing out a poster was autism-chan and that people shouldn't reply to it. She also seems to get unbanned very quickly.

Not really. You can argue about getting fit to be more accurate to the character, but the process itself is hardly part of the cosplay. It's just exercise and diet, there's no special cosplay lifting plan.
Also, unless you went to /fit/ saying "Hey I want to look like this ripped anime guy in 3 weeks for a costume for my nerd convention, will you guys help me???" I don't see why they'd kick you out.

I think it is a valid topic, like I'd rather have fatties get helpful advice from us than go to /fit/ and have male-centric fitness advice shoved down their throat.
Like if somebody wants to learn to lose weight or get their bum in shape for a cammy cosplay then they should be able to ask for advice from people who will actually give it to them.

If makeup and bras are valid cosplay/Jfashion topics, so is fitness. The fitness threads existed for the same reason these existed: because the relevant board (/fa/) is terrible at those subjects and not largely female like /cgl/ is.

The problem with the fitness threads wasn't that they were "off topic", it was that A. They were constantly being dragged off topic with arguments about whether or not they were board relevant and B. Some of them became less about fitness and more about eating disorders.

>Also, unless you went to /fit/ saying "Hey I want to look like this ripped anime guy in 3 weeks for a costume for my nerd convention, will you guys help me???" I don't see why they'd kick you out.
You're implying the people participating in those topics were male. Fit is a terrible place for women because the sticky is geared towards men so some of the information in it (like calorie intake) is wildly incorrect for women. Likewise, you can't ask for advice pertaining to women's health and fitness because most of them haven't the slightest clue about it e.g. "Hey fit how do I lose cellulite?" "Lose weight, fatty."

I do think that bans and thread deletions were getting heavy handed. I remember I used to post threads in character as famous comedians such as Rodney Dangerfield, Seinfeld, Chris Rock and Groucho Marx where about cosplay conventions and nerd culture. I thought they were on topic given how I was talking about everything from cosplay construction, cosplay celebrities, convention trends etc however I later find my threads deleted and banned for shitposting. I don't understand why that happened as I kept everything contained in my own thread and only responded when I wanted to add another comedy routine as opposed to trying to rallying up anon.

Sad to admit but I stopped because of that as I didn't want another ban.

>> No.7553855

The bra thread had gotten derailed to hell so much

It started with "Can I be a male fitter to touch boobs?) then to "Why won't you fat bitches let a male fitter touch your breast sexist scum??!" and even I reported that shit and it went unnoticed for a while.


There's also been threads that can fit into the suggestion and help threads instead of making their own. Like that guy who wants to cosplay a brony or something...
Either there /r9k/ or some other boards are leaking, or /cgl/ is really feeling the summer already.

i've made a lolita penpal from these threads. uhm, we talk about taobao, anime, co-ords, new releases, food and lolita stuff. so i don't think this deserved deletion. if anything, posters who start writing like they're in /soc/ should be reported and banned individually.

The sticky's information works perfectly fine for women. The have formulas for telling how many calories you need by body weight. It also has links to resources. All of the exercises work for women just as well, including SS.

And no, you can't get rid of cellulite without losing weight, and even then its not guarenteed. No such thing as spot reduction, etc. I've also seen cosplay body threads go on perfectly fine on /fit/.

I agree that there's absolutly no reason for there to be /fit/ threads on /cgl/.

Last time I looked there they were giving raw "rough" numbers for calorie intake, they must have changed it or I'm mixing the sticky up with someone's personal post.

>And no, you can't get rid of cellulite without losing weight, and even then its not guarenteed.
You can't get rid of cellulite period. Getting rid of cellulite by losing fat is more or less a myth. If you have cellulite, you have cellulite. I'm 140 at 5'11", I can see my ribs, have a thigh gap, yet I have the worst cellulite of anyone I know.

Cellulite comes from the way connective tissue in women is straight, rather than crossed like in men. Since its fat pushing upwards, you would think that losing fat would reduce it, but to get rid of it completely would require you to drop to an unhealthy bf %, and women need a higher bf % than men because it's vital for ovulation. There are fit, weight-lifting women who still have cellulite in their butt and thighs despite having visible six packs and back muscles.

You don't get rid of cellulite by losing fat, you don't reduce cellulite by losing fat. You get rid of cellulite by either completely altering your genes or becoming a man.

Of course, when I posted about this in fat I got the same old "lose fat" response about a dozen times and absolutely no one explaining how it works like I just did.

I miss the comedy threads, WAYW (as long as it was jfashion), closet cosplay, ita dress ups, and secret threads.
For example, that "I totes got beat up while cis playing Grell u guise!" Thread was relevant to this board and did start a good conversation (albeit slightly derailed a bit) however the moment someone started "doxing" the chick, that poster should have gotten banned, not the whole thread deleted.
I started a thread once asking about if anyone has gotten scammed by her or has any orders out (no it wasn't you-know-who) and I got banned for "doxing". No more than a day later, someone else starts the same damned thread and it maxed out three threads. Fucking Christ.
