So why are avatars allowed in drawthreads despite breaking global rule 13? Is it because people are drawing their own avatars? There is a thread in /b/ where people are claiming that rule doesn't apply to them.
Mostly curious. They are talking as if a special rule has been made for them but I don't see one.

Fun Fact: Over 80% of the rules on 4chan are rarely, if ever, enforced. They're just a failsafe excuse to ban some people if things get out of hand.
>>390160
I guess that answers my question, really.
I just wish they weren't such insufferable dicks about how the mods apparently made an exception for them.
>>390166
I've tried reporting them before, but mods don't really seem to see the issue. Drawthreads usually have a big concentration of cancer, anyway, so it's best to just ignore it. It isn't that big of a deal.
>>390167
Then I suppose that's what I'll have to do. But damn those shitheads really drive me crazy with their pretentious elitism.
>>390171
Which board do you frequent, may I ask, if pretentious elitism is a problem for you?
I was under the impression that pretentious elitism is a constant on 4chan as well as the rest of the internet at large.
I personally think that there is no reason to punish or ban any of them and if they aren't being punished or banned its pretty much exclusion from the rule
Mods have the right to ban them unless someone actually says they don't care but why should they?
Believe it or not, doing things you don't like isn't a reasonable report on 4chan.
its probably because its original content
>>390187
this
even if they draw them doing the exact same thing as long as it isn't constant reposting it isn't against the rules
>>390189
Since when was there a rule about "it's okay as long as it's original"? Not snarky, just curious.
>>390191
as opposed to normal "avatar-fagging" in it's original context (which is to say: spam screencaps of the same anime character being smug 10,000 times) they are creating content on the spot rather than borrowing it for a face
Sure there are tracers and bad artists but it's about the same as if i were dumping pictures in a porn thread and people said i was avatarfagging if it was the same girl
>>390196
Ah, I see.
If that's the case, then that's some pretty morally-grey territory. I'd be nice to have some mod input on that.

it is extremely gray

The modmin details several aspects of a typical avatarfag and mostly describes the problem as one of attention whoring. Drawhores are definitely whoring out for attention, but I think the problem is more when people pop into threads that aren't about them and suddenly take all of the attention for themselves. A thread on /b/ where people post pictures alongside their Roleplay Faggotry (which, for the record, is not banned anywhere except /mlp/) is probably ignored because it's not disrupting anything except for the catalog.
>>390187
The text you type is original content too and people get banned for that all the time. For the record, it took me less time to draw this shitty picture than it took for me to type that wall of garbage up there.
>>390185
The drawfags on /b/ have nothing on /ic/. They'd get their asses handed to them in a matter of seconds.
>>390221
they know that
usually when good artists hit /b/ people tell them to go to /ic/
>>390211
You will not get any mod input here. This isn't /q/.
You can get responses from people that have been here for a while (with the wisdom that goes along with that) but never an official word.
