Serious question, how can there be new types of greentext stories if greentext bait is no longer permitted?
From here on out the only greentext that can be generated will be those in existing generals.
Mod made a declaration with the pre-meditation of rolling one's face on the keyboard and hoping something legible comes out.
Even worse than this is that they succeeded.
Hopefully they'll pull their heads out of their asses and come out with a public statement of how much of a mistake this was.
>>26911675
By putting a modicum of effort into making the OP generate thought and discussion surrounding the topic, and the show.
>>26911675
There won't be any which is a good thing because they're all cancerous and low quality shit.
>>26911791
But Anon, that'sbo-ring!
>>26911675
They are removing our ability to tell stories.
This is literally (and I literally mean "Literally" literally this time) worse than Hitler.
Have a plan, not a prompt.
Problem solved.
Say goodbye to the lifeblood of the board
>>26911675
Easy. If your bait prompt is:
>Hi Anon! Come help me move this sofa!
Just write it like this:
>Condense asks you to help her move a sofa
wat do?
The rule is totally unenforceable. The threads they're hoping to catch, Condenseposting, Nyxposting, etc, will just reformat and return.
>>26911675
They'll forget in a week or so nothing changes.
>>26911791
>>26911810
>>26911816
All of this.
Nobody's stopping any writefag from writing the beginning's of a new greentext. it's just stopping the same old meme faces and 4 lines of boring text, waiting for some writefag to show up.
Maybe non-writefags will even take decide to start threads and become writefags themselves.
That takes effort though and if there's one thing /mlp/ is good at, it's putting no effort into anything and pretending to be better than everyone else in the fandom.
>>26911816
Prompts allow writefags to take creative directional initiative, which is the whole point.
Without prompts, we don't have that.
>>26911675
>Simple answer, there cannot be, the mods have gone too far, and it is time for retaliation, choose you sides, war has started
ANONS UNITE
FAGGOTS, AUTISTS, EVEN SHITPOSTERS
>Attention all anons, I the cumdump Mod, declare for all threads to be banned, when ever, where ever, 7 years no trial
We can not let these fuckers suppress us, tell us that we can't have safe legal fun, ruin our rights, bully us into thinking they can do what ever they please, the time has come anons, a revolution is here, let us rise up against these tyrants, and not stand for the BULLSHIT that they are saying, fuck them,

>Anti-Mods
>Civilian anons
You people are idiots. The mods aren't removing your ability to greentext, they're removing your ability to pretend you're a fucking autistic horse when communicating with other anons
Jesus Christ in a handbasket you people are stupid
>>26911861
They're removing our ability to greentext prompt in an open-ended way.
>>26911884
No they aren't. They're removing your ability to write one sentence of shit like "hi anon, I'm Ponka Po and I'm stuck on a toilet lol." The only reason that kind of garbage spawns greentext is because there are hordes of anons looking to write something, anything, so they choose the first prompt they see no matter how bad it may be. It's not like there will be fewer threads on /mlp/ now--maybe with fewer shitpost threads, there will be more detailed ones.
it killed dadoneequs, seems Erf finally got his wish of being freed. over 170 chapters down the tubes.
>>26911950
And what if those one sentence post produce more content? Yes there are shit bait threads, but just because a thread opens with one sentence doesn't mean it's is a shit bait thread
>>26911977
No... no, I think it just fell off the board.
It survived the purging only to hit page 11, kek.
>>26911852
>Without prompts, we don't have that.
Except, we do. You can attract writers, now you just have to put effort into things. God forbid you stretch that brain of yours.
Writefag here, but I don't know what to write. Someone give me a prompt.
Oh wait, you fucking can't.
>>26911950
I'm just remembering the beginning of some of my favorite stories and generals.
Take the beginning of Dadonequus.
https://desustorage.org/mlp/thread/24504998/
The few lines of greentext provided fuel for writefags' imagination. Starting OP with a request for greentext of Discord as colt-Anon's dad" would not have the same effect.
So many great things have come into existence as the result of greentext prompts fueling interest and leaving a world open.
>>26912051
Look at the linked greentext prompt. It did have effort, and it fueled imagination, and begat something great.

The difference is that greentext prompts are like a seed, a precipitant, from which to continue. They are of a very different quality. Also note that you specify the direction of the story. Greentext prompts do not.
Huge difference.
>>26912147
It's intrigue.
...or time travel.
>>26911712
the mods of /mlp are absolute dumbfucks.
>implying that bait promtps wasnt the thing killing this board
Every damn time, one guy start to write, he had to leave, people bumped the thread for more WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT THE STORY ITSELF, JUST ASKING FOR MOAR
After the thread autosaged, it would turn into a general, and the write fag would never return
You know what pisses me off? People defended that shit with memes, and no matter how much you complain or try to make a point ''GTFO then''
I'm glad the mods did something right for once
What we could do in this golden era is:
>Make a thread for writefags
>MAKE A FUCKING PASTEBIN WITH THE SHIT YOU MADE
>Post it there, and r8 other people
>If you're out of ideas, ask for a writefag prompt
THERE! PROBLEM SOLVED! EVERYONES HAPPY!
>>26911712
Public statement my ass.
No one is safe until faggot mod(s) are removed like a fucking kebab.

no, we must fight for our rights as /mlp fags, don't give in to the mods!

Hiro sure as hell fucking does because once the traffic drips low enough he's going to nuke the board.
>>26912402
No.
>>26912413
>>26912413
>once the traffic drips low enough
/po/ has low traffic, theres a thread on the catalog created 531 days ago
/t/ wins the cake however, its has a thread created 1142 days ago (3 FUCKING YEARS AGO)
In the end, the quantity doesn't really matter, its the quality what makes this place good (or not shit)
>>26912511
/mlp/ is on completely different terms, though.
It was spawned to contain the cancer that is this show, purely out of hate because shitposters were ruining the entire site for everyone.
One Hiro sees that this board isn't getting decent traffic this board is done for.
Been away for a week, what happened? What's with this greentext bait shit?
>>26911791
Fan content is and always has been a massive part of FiM's viewership, no matter which website you're on. EQD spends more time reporting on it than the actual show. You want an example of how prominent this stuff is? When the writers decided to reference it, they only gave short glances at the most universally accepted ideas and still had enough material for the entire 100th episode.
This community cannot and will not survive on show discussion alone. To block out the quickest way of starting /mlp/'s most highly produced form of content is, in essence, cutting the lifeline of a place that's already struggling to stay active.
>>26912130

>>26913230
>>26913301
Wow. Thanks.
>>26912402
No it's a retarded prompt and the fact that you started some shitty story in a non-story thread is ridiculous. Stop derailing the thread with your nonsense. I mean, really, a post was killed for this.
>>26911675
Greentext threads are still allowed, the author just has to do more work.
>>26911852
Then how do the cyoa threads do it? There's no shortage of them.
>>26911849
So you say, i can start a new tread with part of my green and keep writing by myself?
>>26912027
A good idea is going to get content even if it needs more than a one sentence op to get started. sure these threads can produce content but it comes at the cost of 5000 stinkers.
If you're good you'll find your audience as a writefag somewhere.
>>26911675
I'm pretty sure most existing greentext stories could continue right now.
Of course most of this board are also pussies and a good chunk probably already bailed because "muh mods!" already overreacting to it.
>>26912564
>implying Hiro knows enough about 4chan to tell the difference
>>26912368
Do you have any fucking idea how crowded that thread would be? You do realize that there would no longer be room in said thread for every single story to be in greentext right? The thread WOULD JUST BE ONE GIANT LINK TOO SHIT, CONSTANT BUMPING, AND NO ACTUAL CONTENT EVEN ON THE THREAD REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>insert picture of whinny marshmellow horse eating icecream
>>26913887
Oh, I'm pretty sure moot was in contact with Hiro long enough to plant the "all ponyfags and furfags must die" seed into Hiro's head.
moot prides himself on being as unprofessional as possible, and judging by what happened today, Hiro might end up the same.
>>26911675
Then go to the generals for green.
Problem solved
>>26911841
>implying mods enforce rules in the way they claim to

>Prompts allow writefags to take creative directional initiative, which is the whole point.
>Without prompts, we don't have that.
Yeah, some great stuff came out of those prompts (I'm looking at you, heart of war)
The problem is, this site is full of 12 year olds Its not the super secret club it was in 2006. Its full of stupid, immature children that run EVERYTHING thats anywhere near decent so far into the ground they start annoying chinese people with it.
For every good prompt that spawned a story, theres 8 "Hulk Hogan in equestria wat do" or "Dick Cheney in equestria wat do" and its fucking spoiling the board.
It would be better if the mods simply issued a 30 day no posting ban for every shit prompt, but since the mods have the mentality of 12 year olds themselves, we get all the prompts taken away, good or bad.
>>26915660
>Its full of stupid, immature children that run EVERYTHING thats anywhere near decent so far into the ground they start annoying chinese people with it.
Except no, you worthless faggot. Angry 30+ basement dwellers like you are the ones who shit up the threads. Every underage user I've met here(ones I added on Skype) have been cool as fuck.
When every child you meet is shit, maybe YOU'RE the problem. Love, a wizard.
Glad to see this thread held up nicely against the mods
>>26915660
I see youre one of the creative devil that posts on of the 30+ threads a day of "this (picture of nyx) shows up in your kitchen one morning, wat do" or "this guy (iron will) slaps your waifus ass in front of you, what do" or or "reanimated corpse of hitler wakes up in equestia, what happens" im so sorry the quality effort you were putting into this board is no longer appreciated by those of us with fully functionining brains
>>26915737
whoops, was in such a hurry to call you a stupid fuck i quoted my own post and not this one
>>26915691
>>26915691
Also wizard (aka 30 year old virgin) getting along with underage children and finding them "cool as fuck" thats not incredibly pathetic or anything
>>26915737
Nah, I just call people out as Tumblrites. Writing sucks.
>>26915761
>30 year old virgin
That's exactly what I implied you newfag.
>incredibly pathetic
Just like your autistic hatred(read: fear) of children, yeah? Nah, nothing can top YOUR unadulterated Asperger's.
>>26915761
It's because he's only mentally developed enough to interact with adolescent children, anon. It's called autism, and you probably have it too.
>>26915783
>samefagging and pretending to be a neutral party
Also, I realized that pretty much everyone above drinking age is a paranoid cunt that blames children for all the world's problems. So I decided fuck all of you twats, it's all YOUR faults and no amount of nerdy sass will change it.
>>26911675
There can't be.
The mods have taken to deleting any sort of protest as well.
>>26915779
Its not fear you fucking retard, this whole thread is whining that the greentext prompts are gone, but whos lamenting the "Nikita Kruschev wakes up in equestrua, what happens" what constantly gets fucking posted here aside from you,cunt? My whole fucking point was the greentext prompts were good, but like that undressing banana in the YLYL threads, it has been warped into something completely fucking retarded and terrible and run into the fucking ground so hard the mods had to actually take action. You can thank all your 12 year old "best budz" for that.
>>26912051
They're deleting perfectly good prompts, not just stupid ones. Also, threads that already have stories in them. I was reading those you dicks.I feel like even if they were against the rules (they are/were not) they should be allowed to play out instead of deleting a thread that's 2 weeks old.
>>26915803
here. im done arguing about this. I know kids on 4chan like to be contrarian because thats the edgy thing to do, but im done arguing with a mentally stunted manchild who admits he's mentally on the level of a pre-teen, trying to convince him that losing "solid snake gets transported to equestria, what happens" doesnt mean the board is going down in flames.
Kill yourself already, I know you've thought of it.
>>26915803
>Its not fear you fucking retard
Yes it is. You autists are so fucking fearful of being irrelevant thanks to children one day being better than all of you sorry fucks, that you're going full-blown, stone cold, Steve Autism mode to sabotage them. You know I'm right.
>whos lamenting the "Nikita Kruschev wakes up in equestrua, what happens" what constantly gets fucking posted here aside from you,cunt?
Again, writing sucks.
>You can thank all your 12 year old "best budz" for that.
No, I'll thank the right party.
Thanks to all you thirty-something falseflaggers that proceeded to shill against the big bad UAU under the bed.
>>26915821
>Kill yourself already, I know you've thought of it.
And Anon then projects his suicidal thoughts unto me. He then realizes he lost and pretends to be done. He reads this posts and screams, destroying his room and killing his mother in a fit of rage.
The next day's headlines: "32 year old male kills mother and self."And THAT'S how you win a fight and control your new bitch.
>>26911675
yeah no, just make the greentext obviously not addressing the viewer to join in. it just means you have to change the perspective of the viewer to something less self gratifying
"Hey anon, I found this r-riding crop and other s-strange things, you, you w wouldn't hit a pony would you?"

HI RIBBIT!
>>26912564
"shitposters were ruining the entire site for everyone-"
Hold up a fucking minute you stupid ass aborigine, you don't even KNOW what the /co/ days were like. We kept ourselves contained in several threads, and it worked right up until m00t's cucked mods cried bitch tears to get us off 4chan entirely. KNOW YOUR OWN FUCKING HISTORY BEFORE YOU WHINE.
It's sad seeing that the ways for us writerfags to warm up, produce relevant content and get out of our comfort zone are killed.
Only one thing to do now. Start a journal and write there, until spawning the same shit into the general again and again.
