>Images and discussion should pertain to fashion and apparel.

Asking if something is "/fa/", or "most effay", does not necessarily make the topic board-related. Something isn't on-topic for the board just because it's "aesthetic" or "effay".

Sure. It bumped off an off-topic thread, and now serves the purpose of creating more on-topic threads on the board as a whole. If you disagree with that purpose, then there isn't really that much to say.

That is mainly the product of an absence of reports, and the workload of the janitors and moderators. That does not mean that the threads are on topic, or should be allowed to establish a new status quo.

>an effay car thread or effay architecture wouldn’t survive on another board
If the interpretation here is "fashionable" then it probably wouldn't survive as cars, architecture things, phones, laptops, or the like aren't related to fashion and apparel. There isn't really that much to talk about. If the interpretation here is "aesthetic" then that's already what several threads on other boards are about. Aesthetic cars, phones, laptops, wallpapers, et c.

We'll have "effay album" threads featuring ZERO discussion on fashion and only /mu/ discussion. We'll have "effay colleges" threads featuring ZERO discussion on fashion. It's not even about fashion uni's or programs, we just have people posting their favorite colleges. Putting "/fa" or "effay" in front of anything and thinking it is on-topic is a fundamental misunderstanding of what the board is about.

People just post things that they enjoy and then discuss it, without it being about fashion and apparel. That means it is off-topic. They can and should do that elsewhere.

>>14350377
>everything is an accesory.
Great, so now we can literally discuss anything on /fa/.
It's the new SFW random board, since anything can be considered a fashion accessory.

>Post effay black angels
>post effay steam profile pictures
>post effay serial killer fits
>POST EFFAY MUSIC
>Post your effay Minecraft skins

>post /fa/ fetishes
>Post /fa/ faces
>Post some fa music.
>What is the most /fa/ religion?
>What does an /fa/ Tinder profile look like

>people will still post
Sure, but the situation isn't "people will still post off-topic things" or "people will not post off-topic things".
It's a matter of a general reduction of off-topic posts. Individual posters will respond to reminders to varying degrees, in the same way they'll respond differently to having their posts removed and being warned/banned.

>trying to enforce stupid rules
This is a fashion board. This rule isn't stupid:
>Images and discussion should pertain to fashion and apparel.

Fashion is not just strictly related to clothing. Gucci and other high end brands use fashionable architecture in their ads because it creates an aesthetic. it’s the exact same with hypebeast teenagers standing next to lamborghinis, because it fits their aesthetic. Punk fashion is directly linked to other grimey, non clothing related things like cigarettes, shitty venues etc.
it’s dumb to limit fashion to strictly clothing, it’s much more deep than that

people wear certain clothes because it fits their lifestyle. People who can afford 10,000 dollar suits probably also smoke cigars, drive mercedes etc because that’s their lifestyle. People who are into the techcore shit are probably into new innovative technology, so things like sleek new phones or technologically advanced houses or cars because it fits their aesthetic. Fashion is all about achieving an aesthetic and therefore there will be threads about things not strictly related to clothes

This board also has a _limited_ amount of on-topic threads about accessories such as watches and glass, and grooming-related threads about haircuts, skin-care, make-up, and fragrance. All those things are in the sticky. There's also other threads related to looks like tattoos and body-mods. That doesn't mean we should go beyond that topic-wise.

>fashionable architecture in their ads
>lamborghinis, cigarettes
That doesn't mean a fashion board should have threads about architecture, art, "effay cars", or "the most /fa/ cigarette brand" as have been posted before. Simply being "aesthetic" or "inspiring" doesn't make it on-topic.

But let's see where the aesthetics-related reasoning takes us.

>missing the point
No. The point that was made was that things can be on topic for being part of an overall aesthetic relating to fashion, for example such as things in ads (for example Gucci). My counterpoint is that things aren't on topic simply because they can be a part of a broader aesthetic. What I posted was examples of how ads and concepts in media often are posted on /fa/.

That someone wants to keep the discussion of politics on the board specifically on the politics board - and not on the fashion board - does not mean that a) they've never visited the board, b) that they think it's evil, c) that they think it's horrible, or d) that everyone from there should die.

Yes, but its creation may bump off existing on-topic threads. Further creation and bumping of them will make the need to bump on-topic threads more often to keep them from getting archived.
Leaving off-topic threads on the board will also encourage the creation of further threads like that, or on even more shit topics. It dilutes the purpose of meaning of the board.
It also encourages shitposters to stay on the board and make themselves comfortable, and keep dragging the board down.
It's also something you have to do A LOT since so much shit is posted.
You also just shouldn't need to do it.
