keep waywts and trips

you cant call yourself a fashion board w/o a waywt and frequently posting ***good and knowledgeable and fashionable*** trips really help towards fostering regular, on-topic, and incisive convos (timber, twerk, pigfuck, anorak, dada, even controversial ppl like the onani gang and poet contribute to it too). look at the times where we didnt have a healthy, non-shit trip community (like for the last year) and you can see how garbage everything is

hello newfag. these serve the purpose of dubsposting after dubposting was banned, which had served the purpose of sagebombs after sagebombs were banned, which served the purpose of CP & gore dumps after CP & gore dumps were banned.

it's to shut down cancerous threads. ignore & filter is not an solution. imageboard communities always need to self-moderate, they always fall as soon as powertripping mods try to stop them and open the gates to cancer.

But there's never any discussion of how they intertwine, like at all. If the thread was "post outfits from films" that would be one thing. With music it's worse in that people just post albums they like with no discussion at all, fashion related or not.

I get that there's a lot of overlap between fashion and aesthetics, but without discussion, it's a shitty thread. "That's one effay gun right there" "No it's shit, not effay at all" is the limit of conversation in these threads and that is why they are cancerous.

Should have clarified, you can post memes in context of course but don't start a thread solely for it.

Face rate threads belong in /soc/, simple as that. They are also part of the whole teenagers seeking validation shitshow that has nothing to do with the discussion of fashion unless you're actively discussing the interaction of the face and the clothing as in a face being suitable to a style or not.

>4chan has always been a beautiful mess, over-moderation tends to fuck that up.

This is a pretty dumb and historically inaccurate perspective applied to boards other that /b/. Blue boards in the past have had good communities because of the silent work of moderators not tolerating idiots flinging shit.

Just because you are fine with 100 shitty threads doesn't mean the average user should have to wade through them. This is a board with a topic. Users come here (in theory) to discuss this topic. If you want your beautiful mess fuck off to /b/. Oh that's right though, /b/ has been shit for the past 10 years and the blue boards don't have to go along with that if they don't want to.

Not entirely historically inaccurate. Part of what got 4chan popularity (on both blue and orange boards) over SA back in the day was the former's lenience and the latter's overmoderation. Hell, SA has only recently been able to un-fuck itself in that regard, and it's near-dead as a result of that fiasco.

I don't disagree that - in a perfect world - it's a good thing to have moderators patrolling the boundaries of the subject matter of these boards. The problem is, that gets incredibly slippery. I don't personally think I could come up with a reasonable distinction between "on topic" and "off topic" that could properly handle threads discussing - for example - whether phone backgrounds are fashionable, or the fashion of old computers generally, or even just whether dumb questions should be relegated to fuccboi general threads (which are, incidentally, far from obviously the place to ask random questions 95% of the time).

When faced with that sort of uncertainty, I'm much more comfortable erring on the side of lenience. If we over-moderate, we risk becoming Reddit, where ideological power-tripping becomes the norm and new users are discouraged from participating. Or, worse yet, SA, where - back in the day - weird fucking basement dweller mods would ban users for weird inconsequential "violations."

I personally don't see this as a huge issue, though. It's an anonymous image board, having shitty threads isn't some sort of huge issue.

>> No.11433425

>>11433323
I think a lot of what you describe as wrong with SA and reddit stems from a lack of anonymity. People have online personalities on those sites (kind of like you try to have here with your tripcode) and when those users are given power they abuse it and try to make it their little clubhouse. Yes, they overmoderate and fuck their websites over for average users not in the mods good graces for not jacking off to them enough.

That's the beauty of anonymous image board culture though. The mods are anonymous and work in the background with almost no visible moderation.

Yeah there's a risk of moderators opinions differing from the majority of users. Maybe some mod thinks phone backgrounds are an appropriate topic and I don't. Whatever, as you opine, we can ignore shitty threads, but that's not the point. We can reduce the number of shitty threads and actually regain some of the good aspects of an anonymous community that have historically been present on less trafficked boards on this site.

>The problem is, that gets incredibly slippery. I don't personally think I could come up with a reasonable distinction between "on topic" and "off topic" that could properly handle threads discussing

It's not our fault you don't have the common sense to decide that phone wallpapers are not related to fashion and threads about them belong on the board expressly dedicated to wallpapers. Mods don't have to be as silly about this as you are being. There is a line that can be drawn and we have passed it.

And then /fa/ died. Self moderation is the only safe way to keep a board (you know unless it gets too big) There is nothing stopping said biased mod from banning any kind of person he/she doesn't like.

On /co/ there is a mod who bans you for saying "nigger" regardless of the politics, that's bullshit but realistic when it comes to how easily any terrible person can be a mod abd kill the board regardless of quality. A sjw mod on /mlp/ banned everything related and just told moot that they were just being childish.

Cherish you self-moderation while you still have it, don't let the mods run your board.

Self moderation/informal social control is the only way to enforce rules, when the moderation ('government') is incapable performing their task. It isn't all that bad though. We do have moderation, but I think the posters in general want more, which doesn't have to be a bad thing.

>That's the beauty of anonymous image board culture though. The mods are anonymous and work in the background with almost no visible moderation.

In this beauty lies the danger of a biased mod. A cop can be held accountable for something he did wrong. He has a face, a name and works out in the open. The opinion, the dissatisfaction, of the public can easily be heard, thanks to social media. This is different on 4chan. We don't know who the cop is. Even if we have a name, when the cop/mod messes up, he will likely not listen. When a mod doesn't receive feedback on his performance, he may develop tunnel vision. I'd say that it isn't more moderation that would 'kill /fa/', but a mod that does not interact with the board.


Anyway, I doubt mods will listen to the feedback. A while back some anons were working on a new sticky. The mods said in the IRC chat that they would look at it at some time (aka never). Again, STHLM has a screencap.

My two cents, probably forgot some essential theory (4 logical fallacies that results tunnel vision, etc.), off to bed.

It is indeed a pitfall of anonymous moderation and having mods across several boards that a mod team with no member that actually cares about /fa/ can just let this board fester and respond to things as they are reported.

But if a few anonymous mods or two gave a shit, the benefit is (theoretically) very great.

Self-moderate the board, don't give the mods control. This site has an ugly history of the mods or the admin trying to force change or kicking out a demographic because they don't fit with the modern widest audience.

Horse autism aside what the mods did to this board is disgusting, and you would understand if a mod came along and started pacifying /fa/ to appeal to /r/mensfashion.

This is a pretty recent development, within the past few years. I am harkening back to a different time.

It's honestly tiresome to self moderate the board. I try by pointing shit out, saging, and reporting, but I can't delete threads or ban users. I end up spending more time dealing with crap than posting about fashion which I think is the case for a lot of users.

Self-moderation is the only way to maintain existing cultural standards. When the community is healthy, the mods need to step back, especially when it comes down to cracking self-moderation (ie sagebombs or dubs spam).

But when the community degenerates, with too many newfags not assimilating to the point where they assimilate by imitating the other cancerous newfags, any community enforcement will be corrupted. The newfags will shut down the wrong things, faith in self-moderation becomes lost and board runs wild.

This is when the mods need to step back in and crack down. They clean up the board, lay down cultural standards and guidelines, give it a reset. But once it's cleaned up, they need to step back again and let the community take over.

This is the cycle of every imageboard ever. Except more times than not, it gets cut off by mods either banning self-moderation, or by not stepping in when the cancer becomes terminal, or by powertripping after they're called back in and not giving the reigns up.

Well put, this is exactly what I'm advocating for. But I think we're at the point where we need a swift intervention due to the overwhelming amount of stupid off topic bullshit on this board.

I don't want tyrannical mods any more than the next guy. But I'd like to see some of this cess removed.
