I'm surprised by the number of communities that have a sort of blanket ban on members going on /cgl/ or talking about it, because our community make no secret of browsing or posting.

No idea, honestly. I guess if one references a particular thread from 4chan either on the comm page or at a comm meet, any comm mod who is on a power-trip could remove them from the Facebook page.

But no smart mod would do this. 4chan isn't a hive mind.

Usually if a mod bans a person from a comm, it's because that person already has built up a history of being a scammer, or has been harassing other comm members, or has been acting inappropriately at meets.

>> No.8408712

I'm 99% sure that the regulars in my comm are seagulls. I know one member who sadly left was one of us for sure though.

>> No.8408769

My comm hasn't officially banned it and admins will pop up here once in a while if there's a significant community discussion going on that they want to add their two cents to, but overall it's definitely frowned upon. You won't actually get kicked out or officially ostracized if people know you're a seagull - it's much more passive-aggressive than that. You're basically labelled a meaniepoo and likely to be blamed any time someone from the comm is posted or discussed here in a negative light. Worst case scenario some dramallama decides 4chan is full of rapists, pedos and racists and labels you one by extension.
I have noticed it's mostly the younger girls who act this way, though. I suspect that the majority or at least a large minority of the old guard lurk here.

I've never heard of a comm banning CGL. That's incredibly backwards and controlling and no one should ever do that. If you join a comm and they want to control your internet access and private conversations, then get the fuck out.

For sure one of our comm leaders posts here, I don't think it's a huge deal but our comm in general is fairly relaxed. We don't have much drama to begin with, and I've never seen anything negative about our comm posted here, so I don't think anyone minds much.

Mods and members alike brows cgl. No one gives a shit because were all pretty chill. We have a few shit stirrers here of course, but not any of the regulars, just a couple of people that are no longer in the comm or who are barely active who thrive off the drama. Of course it's those few people who like to point fingers and scream cyberbully and meanie to anyone who comes here. "If you self post or brows on cgl you OBVIOUSLY post other people on here and harass people" is always followed by "what do you mean? I NEVER go on 4chan! Only meanies and racists go there!"

I had a really funny experience with this recently at a meetup:

>a cosplayer-recently-turned-lolita mentions she browses here
>awkwardrecordscratch.mp4
>room goes silent

>I kinda feel bad for cosplayerchan
>say that I browse here but it's completely possible to avoid the negative threads that go too far
>cgl is good for print releases, coordination tips, and embarrassing questions
>that seems to ease some of the tension

Idk, I don't claim to be innocent because I've definitely purposefully shitposted and said some less-than-pleasant things about people here. But honestly, I'd rather sooner talk about a secret from behind the bows or drama on rufflechat with my comm. To me the topics are more tangible and discussion-worthy than some rando ita posted on cgl, or cosplayer drama. Some of my exaggerated posts are in response to exaggerated drama, and in no way reflects how I would actually behave or treat somebody irl. People just say what they want her unabated (unless they trip...), and everyone should keep that in mind.

I certainly don't hate the people who say they browse here, but if there's any unnecessary/excessive drama I do kind of prod for details about the poster just to see if it's them posting. And it's not to necessarily use it as a pawn to dangle over their heads, I just like being in the know.

One of my greatest pet peeves is how the same people who think anyone who goes on here is a drama mongering spitelord almost always regularly check BtB, and even will discuss it at comms. BtB is worse, vendettas are actually allowed there. I will never understand the double standard.

>> No.8409174

It's not banned, but very looked down on. Seagulls should never ever ever reveal they go on here unless they know their comm will be chill, or you will most likely be blamed anytime someone gets posted. I learned that the hard way. Luckily, my name was cleared because I was on vacation for a week when it happened and the admins were able to verify the place I was at had zero cell or Internet service, otherwise they would have banned me. They never figured out who did it, but I'm 99% sure the person's intention was for them to blame me because most of the pics they posted were ones I had taken. Still, pics from my FB that the entire comm has access to and the fact I go on here were not solid enough evidence to ban over, if they had, then I really would have gone full vendetta.

Our comm has had some crazy drama in the past and a lot of it was posted here. No one actually cares about the ban, though, we just pretend we don't and never post anything here that would give our identities away.
>Did something spark the ban?
A girl in our comm had her Iron Gate skirt stolen straight from her bedroom during her birthday party, which was essentially just a big meet up at her house. Someone came on here, claiming to be the thief and it sparked this giant witch hunt in the comm. Some comm members joined in, fueling the fire. A few different people were accused, two girls even left the comm. It was this giant cluster fuck and to this day, the perp has never been confirmed.
>Do you suspect the admins browse while enforcing this?
I know for an absolute fact at least one does.

Our admins discourage /cgl/, myself included, because it can be hurtful to more sensitive girls if they see themselves posted, plus sometimes the negative attitudes of what you've read can also rub off on you if you're not careful.
However, I'm pretty sure it's no secret that some of our respected members self post.
Basically, the rule is pretty much if you get caught making a negative post about someone or posting comm drama, you're banned.
I would never ban someone for browsing through cute photos or asking questions in coord help or anything like that.

Yeah, the main reason it's still an issue is because so many common members just had to throw their two cents in about who may have done it to the point where it was ridiculous, and people are still understandably bitter about being blamed out of nowhere. One person accused someone who wasn't even at the party, one girl also was who wasn't even there, and another tried to say it was the victim's best friend, who didn't even leave her side the whole night. It wasn't until the girl who got her skirt stolen literally broke down crying at a meet and begged everyone to stop pointing fingers that it died down.

One thing that's nice is that one of the comm members gave her het Melty Mermaid Princess OP instead of selling it when she left lolita since she felt really bad for her and it was one of her ultimate dream dresses.

No ban. Cgl and btb are regarded and called by some mod "unwanted gossip forum". People are young, but well tempered, and mentioning you browse it in person is ok, but keep it cool

Once there was someone posted, during those days it was awkward, but nothing that silence wouldn't clear - pic related. As long as you keep your cool, is fine.


I have mentioned I browse it and I just get silence, no need to explain too much or justify my acts. Clear consciousness, no need to explain.

My comm rules state that participating in "wank communities such as /cgl/" can result in a ban, but I'm fairly sure that means if you are actually shit talking or posting about other members from the comm. I know a lot of other girls in the comm make it evident that they lurk /cgl/, and I myself am transparent about it. Most of the girls in my comm are super cool and well-dressed anyway, so I doubt anyone would bother stirring shit up here.

Dom; CGL outted her as being an IRL bully and doing some really backwards and cruel shit in her comm. Sometimes even CGL can't stand to see people be that awful, so really, there are worse things than posting on here, like doing this shit in real life. I feel like a lot of mean posts on CGL are people who don't actually believe what they say, but just want to bitch about anything they have at hand.

>> No.8410141

You forget that cgl is home to the ita thread and nitpick threads, and there are girls in there who will and do bash someone's looks in addition to their coords. No one really wants to go to tea parties or post photos on facebook if they know there's someone in the group who will post them to cgl's mean threads.

You also forget that there are trolls and shit stirers on cgl who can and do make up stories just to get a reaction out of people. If the comm admin has to keep explaining on multiple threads in cgl how this or that story is completely untrue, then that wastes the mod's time, plus it gives the comm a bad image.

At least, that's my take on banning someone for making negative posts. Neither of these things are venting, both are petty and destructive, so I'd say I agree with banning someone for making negative posts like this.

I think comms understand the difference between "I browse /cgl/" and "I shit talk everyone I know all the time on /cgl/". I'm a mod of one, and at one point we figured out and got rid of a girl in our community who used /cgl/--because she constantly insulted everyone member of the community on /cgl/ for no reason.
But recently at a meetup we overheard a high school girl talking about /cgl/, and we just rolled our eyes. Pretty much all of us know we browse it at least sometimes, sometimes just to read the entertaining drama. Our community never has issues that move past passive aggressive facebook statuses, so we can easily tell no one is trying to start shit here, so it doesn't matter who uses it.

idunno anon, you're obviously here and have a flawless record, whereas if this girl is so easily found out, she seems like a bit of a blabbermouth/speak before thinking type. I'd be wary of trusting her, it's one thing to like her opinion, it's another to trust her not to blab to other people about your bitchyness.

Obviously I don't know this girl, maybe she's just the scapegoat after slipping up once and in reality is a total cool bro. I'm just saying to proceed with caution. There's no reason you can't make friends with her without mentioning cgl, get to know her a little better first, and see what her behaviour is really like, before confiding your deepest, darkest bitchyness to her.

I'm a mod of my comm. Most of the more active people in my comm post here. Almost all the mods are on here. I'm a regular. I'm on here every day. I make it a point to never shit talk anyone or post pictures of anyone, especially in a negative way. But on an anonymous image board, you can't really defend yourself. I don't get involved in the catty drama but I enjoy watching it unfold. Also watching people type angry replies to my shitposts is pretty funny during summer.

There are probably some people in our comm who hate this place. We don't ban it. There's no reason to ban it. But if you start shit and throw shit enough, we sure as hell will find out.

That's different from vauge-venting like "I wish people would stop showing up to meets in cosplay wigs" which is totally fine in our book. But the moment you're like "smear __ comm everywhere because I'm holier than thou" isn't tolerable. We had someone do this and she ended up selfposting and got laughed off the site.

Just want to say that I missed all that Dom drama somehow, went back in the archives and read through it, holy shit, 10/10 so satisfying. Good work, gulls.

My comm has no ban on /cgl/ and I know for a fact that a good few long time members lurk/post here, but the only time we've had a problem was when we found people shitposting about other comm members. /cgl/ is pretty much regarded as what it is in our comm - a website where people post anonymously and there is drama.

Hey Houston comm, I just saw what Buttcape posted. Is AM really destroying your comm? You need to kick that guy out. He's a fucking predator to all the lolitas

Does anyone else have experience with comm sexual harassment? I got stories (oddly mostly with girls) I had to go through a lot to cut the people out of the comm. It only let's them get to other people if you let them prey on people in the community like this. I think you guys needs to cut off the rot rather than fracturing off and go about your business.

I love it when that shit is brought up, because when you're that terrible to your comm and people IRL, you deserve to be named and shamed an equal amount to the deeds.

Same for my comm, basically. Half the mods are regular gulls, and a good portion of the members as well. Our comm rarely comes up, and when it does its mostly positive. We're also all really open about being gulls, which I honestly think helps keep the drama low--when we all hang out here, no one wants to be the one to be caught shitposting.

MtF here, /cgl/ honestly seems to be one of the more pro-trans boards on this site. There are a couple of people who say dumb things sometimes but they're usually just trolls and probably come from another board or something.

/cgl/ does make fun of sissy fetishists a lot but I'm with them on that cause those dudes are creepy as hell and make legit trans people look bad

My comm doesn't ban anyone from looking or posting either on btb or cgl, but it is somewhat looked down upon. I doubt that anyone would get banned for posting themselves on the self post threads, but since I want to keep that I go here a secret anyway, I wouldn't dare do so. There has been a couple of incidents of people shitstirring or posting our comm here in the past, so I don't really blame the attitude, but I don't want to get blamed for shit I didn't do.

>> No.8420682

I think being a gull shouldn't be banned, but if you get repeat vendettas in your community, you should definitely be kicked. The local shit of your community is usually for them to deal with. If you're just trying to stir the pot no one wants you.

The kind of comm mods who "ban" cgl and BtB are almost always itas, scammers or relatively new to the community.

Bitch, why do I want to be friends with some low-class, whiny little spoiled, lying bitch? On another comm-related note, I'm so tired with trying to be social with a lot of the girls in my comm. So many of them seem like they're trying too hard and it's very uncomfortable.

Our comm doesn't ban it but we don't focus on it either. We have not had much comm drama at all, just a few secrets here and there. We will mention something interesting in passing once in a while at a meet but most of us just privately read or post in general threads and aren't into any kind of trouble-stirring. We do a lot of really fun things together offline in our group though and strive to improve our lolita hobby though so I think that greatly minimizes the importance of most of the online lolita cultural/social phenomenon to us, good or bad. And I like it this way!
