For a long time now, /d/ has faced numerous problems, most related to moderation issues. This thread is an attempt to get proper attention brought to these issues and bring solutions to these.
The biggest and most pressing issue /d/ faces is the recent mod-driven shift in /d/'s posting base. For years now /d/ has been a board for General Fetishism, supporting both Eastern and Western art. Recently, the mods have decided that not only is Western art forbidden, but that many fetishes with Japanese art are also banned. This has severely reduced the amount of posters on /d/, as the majority of users have completely jumped ship now that the mods have become openly hostile to the userbase.
This has also slowed the board's speed to less than half of what it once was. This has been an incredibly unpopular move, and the vast majority of the users strongly oppose it, as can be seen from these polls originally posted on /d/:
>Should the ban on Western /d/ be enforced now?
>No - 92%
http://strawpoll.me/5629421/r
>Should we add Western back to /d/?
>Yes - 73%

(2/2)
Additionally, the recent slowdown in posting has exacerbated another longstanding issue with /d/: for years now /d/ has had issues with a very persistent spammer who spams futa content. While other users create singular threads for fetishes, this poster creates up to fifty futa threads at a time. Each thread receives one image every one or two days (most of which have nothing to do with the OP) to bump it to the top of the catalog, which continues until the thread reaches the image limit.
This pushes content from other users off the board. Not only that, but legitimate futa posters dislike this behavior because it slows all the threads to a crawl; many of these users refuse to post in these threads or create new ones because the spammer will drive things off topic.
The moderation deletes duplicate threads of any other fetish, but leaves futa threads alone. This has caused a lot of hostility between futa posters and all others on the board. By ceasing this favoritism and pushing futa threads to consolidate, the entire board would be freed up for more content, and futa threads would be healthier and livelier.

Tha is one dedicated dick lover.

The prevailing theory is that it's a script, or at least he gets an alert via a script. Since /d/ is slow he only has to bump his threads once a day. You can watch the threads get bumped though; just wait till they're on page ten and refresh the page. He bumps them every time.
>>487056
>Should we add Western back to /d/?
Too late to close the stable door after the horse has bolted.
Let's get this shit started:
Oh, the irony.
>>487098
Kill yourself spammer

this is why mods are bad people

>implying you aren't spamming

Come on Hiroshima
Hiro needs to fucking address this at least once. Its been complained about so many times and yet he says nothing.
Now while most fetish threads moved to /aco/, we can't even post Japanese threads of fetishes anymore. Remember the short stack threads? Banned from /d/ because apparently Shortstacks are "Too Western".
Its not just western art, it's any fetish to that might be considered western in nature, regardless of Japanese art for it or not. This fucking mod there is beyond autistic with this. In fact, I'm starting to think Swaglord aka Jay and the other mods are supporting this.

A few threads back somebody linked to a /q/ thread where people were complaining about the futaspammer, too. That has been a problem for literal years and it just gets laughed off.
Then you have people like
>>489482
Who think /d/ is nothing but futa and won't use it, and /co/ still has fetish and cheesecake threads because most of them won't use a /d/ board.
It's a fucking shitshow all around.
>>490074
>I'm mainly talking about /b/ here. Why is there a faces of /b/ thread everyday when it's the whole point of /soc/? Why are there furry threads when they can go on /d/? Why is there porn everywhere when there are a lot of boards for that?
>Why are there furry threads when they can go on /d/?
People think /d/ is a furry board. That's how few people use /d/ now that the spammer has scared everyone off.

They always have. People are afraid of /d/ because of all the dicks so they never go there

>>489482
but you like your men with penises, right?

>>489561
>/a/ boogieman
Oh fuck off. I'm from /a/ and support Western art on /d/. You need to accept that sometimes your own board is causing the problem; you can't always blindly blame another board.
>>490784
The problem is that /a/ posters on the Moe ghostboards were literally trying to make things worse and spread disinformation.
>don't know which post to respond to but
Oh, the irony.
>>492508
Kill yourself memer
>>487056
How about make it user moderated like /y/?
>>493141
That would be a decent compromise, but /d/ has a really power hungry mod
>>493227
Well shit, we need a new plan then.
Maybe they can move the mod to another board?
>>493236
We've complained for literal years about /d/'s mod, but moot just ignored us.
I completely agree with these people
I've randomly lurked /d/ for years, but just barely since I absolutely hate futa with a passion, and it always seems there are futa threads on futa threads.
>>493024
>memer
Oh, the irony.
>>493293
Most people dont like futa threads.
Back in the day, futa stayed confined to a single thread. Eventually a spammer started spamming threads like "futa outside," "politically incorrect futa," "futa indoors," etc. The mods never did anything about it, and it took over all of /d/.
What makes this funny is that the mods will delete threads from other fetishes if they try to split, while futa often has 50+ threads posting the same content.
>>493429
Maybe the mod is the spammer? That would be ironic.
>>493484
You're not the first to propose that
>>494581
Oh, the irony.
>>493250
Well shit
I feel bad for you guys
>>489482

good double
>>496938
A post is a support I think. Unless there's nothing on it, like a marker of gathering something.
>>487056
You are right and I want to say but something, but I don't want to be pessimistic.
>>493484
There was/is a /k/ mod who used to spam a Youtube chick on /sci/ for the lulz. Reminds me of that because he did the same bumping shit.
>>496953
What do you want to say fampai?

that's fucking hilarious

Ah, the "I don't care about it so it's not important" maymay. Epic. Simply epic.
>>497635
Stop bumping this shit thread.
t. Oh, the irony.
>>497649
We'll stop bumping when our issue is fixed, Modcuck.
>>497669
>I'll stop bumping when my issue is fixed, master.
Fixed. After all, you're the one who's getting fucked in the ass by the mods. :)
>>497669
sorry about your board /d/. i used to like visiting you guys for some good xeno.
>>497680
Xeno is now banned on /d/. In fact even before the mod rolled out his little "no western" rule he would randomly delete Xeno threads every so often.
Anyways, >>487056, please listen to me. That it's really related to this thread.
>>487056
I don't really care about Western art, except if it causes legal problems that threaten the entire site (artists pitching a fit). If it's just not worth the hassle, I can accept Hiroyuki / the mods banning it.
As for your second post: /d/ has always been heavily futa. It's a bit paranoid to say it's just one or even two people.
