I have a dynamic IP, and there are a couple IPs that show up in the rotation every once in a while that have been banned for Child Pornography. Now obviously that ban wasn't intended for me, yet on those occasions I'm essentially being punished for someone else's crime.
Whenever I can I always appeal the bans explaining that the IPs are Dynamic before rerolling for another IP, but I've noticed that when those IPs pop up again, the mods have always denied the appeal.
I'm curious as to why this is. Do the mods not understand the difference...

They do they just don't give a shit. I'm not even sure why that appeal feature even exists when they just deny every one of them.
That being said a ban for CP should not be over turned no matter what.
>>469124
>why that appeal feature even exists when they just deny every one of them.
Not true. Every appeal I've filed removed my ban, e.g. I made some ironic post on /lit/ in a /soc/-shit thread mocking its immaturity and stupidity but which prima facie looked like very simple and obvious underage bait and so was b&, and my appeal was something like 'it was just ebin shitposting my man' and lo it was removed.

Did Hiro hire fucking ex /co/ mods for /tv/?
Why the fuck are spoilers a requirement on /tv/ now? They never have been before, and it was NEVER a bannable offense?
>>>/tv/67049940
Because /tv/ used to be, you know, fun.
I was banned once for spoiling Twin Peaks, a series that's 20 years old. Read the rules.
There's no such thing as a /tv/ mod. There are people from /co/ and /v/ who are in charge of /tv/.
>now
That has been a rule from the start of the board.
>tfw used to be a massive shitposting tripfag but now I hate all tripfags.
>>468991
>tfw its impossible to prove that youre actually an oldfag
i wish i could prove it, but i dont at the same time
Hey, me too. But I hated them even when I was doing it, though.
>>468991
How does this happen?
Were drugs and/or alcohol involved?
Hey so I made a mistake and need to delete 3 posts.
I already deleted 2 but now it says that I can't delete posts that often? What's the limit?
pic unrelated mostly
Where is the post at, can you link it? It depends on the board.
ahahahaha
>>468946
What's that?
Nothing. I have a job, an apartment and a car. Chans are my only social interaction so why should I leave them? I'm having fun here and, even though 4chan has gone shittier with more and more cancer over the past years, I'm happy here.
>>468835
I don't agree on most points.
benis XD
Something needs to be done about /tg/
I'm not here to advocate for /quest/ board, I'm here to draw attention to the "general" problem.
I think most people will agree that /v/ - /vg/ split was mostly positive for both groups. It freed up space for legitimate discussion and the general circlejerking was put somewhere out of sight.
/tg/ right now, is in a worse state than /v/ was before the split. It is very nearly impossible to have a discussion that would conceivably exist in a general outside of it. All questions or discussions that might...

The only thing they could have done better is outright fucking ban generals.

Nothing can be done about /tg/, Anon. The cancer is terminal. I stopped lurking there a long time ago.
Let's do something fun. Show me something funny.

Don't show me something like pic related.
Every time.
When will we get good mods on /r9k/ ?
We have daily threads who break all rules who reach bump limit.
Or underage tripfags who /soc/post the whole time.
eliza !dR7WV1bjfM is 16 and cause circlejerks with her orbitors but mods NEVER do anything.
And alot people report all post from her.
Also meetup threads are up for hours until mods do shit.
Hiro/mods how is this okay?
Why are you ignoring the state of /r9k/?
>>27180323
Check this fucking shit right now, that place has become fucking /soc/ or some shit like that, do something about that fucking garbage, or rename it to /b/ 2.0 already for fuck's sake.
>>468748
I wish we had mods like on /v/ there.
/v/ mods let alot shitposting happen but at least they try it.
On /r9k/ you see rulebreaking/soc/shitposting up for around 10hours.

Aside from /soc/, what exactly is the rule-breaking that's occurring?
Isn't it about time you gave us back our 't b h'?
I still don't fully understand the motive behind the censorship, it's just an acronym.
If you love it so much, why don't you just go to Twitter or some other shitty anonymous image board that doesn't have it filtered?
>>468739
Because I don't want to, I like it here.
If you love it so much, why don't you MARRY it? LOL
I don't want to sound like a whiner but it is necessary that we silence the people who want word filters. Somebody has to say it. We can't have people requesting word filters all the time it's annoying, repetitive, and there are always threads about this it has to stop.
If it ever got to be a problem, I would suggest wordfiltering "wordfilter" to something, maybe "take rectally".
>>468708
>I don't want to
>but
a recent study showed that 100% of posts that follow this pattern were full of shit
>>468708
I think you spend far too much time on /qa/ if you're becoming annoyed by anything that you see here too frequently.
We should have board wars.
An entire day dedicated to intra-4chan raids. The goal will be to spread your boards memes to other boards and you will get points on how many memes you spread and how many board you infect.
The 5 boards with the lowest scores would get deleted.
But then the biggest boards would just shit up whichever board they are assigned, and nobody would help because they'd all be doing their own raids.
There should only be one board war at a time. For example, /po/ vs /pol/. That way, all the pro-/pol/ posters could learn about comfy paper folding, and the anti-/pol/ movement could help out le kawaii unpopular board~~
Other potential board wars:
/u/ vs /y/
/r/ vs /wsr/
/sp/ vs /asp/
/n/ vs /o/
/int/ vs /trv/
/r9k/ vs /soc/
/fit/ vs /lit/
There are plenty of possibilities, and in each...

That would be the biggest porn spam in 4chan history
The Purge is a shitty idea and you know it.
How important is the opening picture? Does it subconsciously make certain users post in a different manner?
What about the opening text? Will an eloquent and to the point speech with a challenging way of putting things into perspective matter for the thread's lifespan and quality?
>>468656
>Will an eloquent and to the point speech with a challenging way of putting things into perspective matter for the thread's lifespan and quality?
The key to a good OP isn't "quality prose," that's for sure. It's nothing so simple as that.
You need a message that can immediately capture one's attention without being blatant attention begging, and attach a picture that's relevant to the topic. An interesting OP picture can work wonders, but remember that you shouldn't use a pic more interesting than the argument itself.
In any case, never post a line of greentext with a picture of Pepe and nothing else. That gets everyone mad.
>>468656
>How important is the opening picture? Does it subconsciously make certain users post in a different manner
No but autists become more interested to the topic if you post a picture related with the board's theme. For example in /a/ no one gives a damn about your thread how good it is unless it has an anime image.
Hey Hiro, could you ban pussies that suggest filters for anything?
>>468619
seconded
honestly that would be pretty funny, especially if the ban reason was 'User's posts were filtered preemptively'
>>468636
how would this be publicly shown if the person is preemptively filtered though?
