I never saw that reported, for one. For two, threads with an OP relating to sex or topics derailed to such topics are governed by completely different rules than individual posts concerning the same things.

We can talk about amending rules to deal with specific posts like that, if you want. That's what /meta/'s for.

It exists for a reason.

To add, the idea behind removing threads with a slight seual nature is mostly intended to do something against borderline sexual material and discussions being posted and having threads dedicated to line flirting with individuals believing that they could step over the line.
(plot threads for example can potentially be kept clean, but there's always someone who posts pictures of girls in thongs getting smaller and smaller and showing off labia and such)

Individual posts have less encouragement behind them to continue the argument on their own.
I don't think it is good to handle suggestive posts with as much strictness as handling Op, because it would again put a damper on the stuff you can say on ponychan.

Technically, it shouldn't allow people for breaking the big rules on sexual content in their post.
Some of it is at the mod's discretion, some of it will be blatantly obvious.

I have been here long enough to know to report things before I go and make a meta thread. Silly people! I just thought that that particular post was encroaching on the rule about describing sexual acts. That users entire post collection in that thread was very... I think it passes the grey area. Let's say that. I can be more in depth when I get home tonight

All right. I suppose I'll elaborate a little bit:

I feel that moderation on /oat/ is inconsistent. Mainly with sexual topics, though that is primarily due to the virtue of people seeming to want to talk about sex more than anything on /oat/ .

The OP post, for instance, would most certainly fall under:" description, allusion, or depiction of sexual acts in dialogue, text, or images". It's outright talking about pleasuring a Pokemon between the legs! Yes, I reported it and yes, it was cleared though I am not sure by whom. Possibly the same person who cleared a vore picture than I reported several days back, or who deems it okay to allow "Pokefuckers" threads to stay up and let people skirt the line. Which is strange because this content, at other turns and junctions, seems to be removed regularly.

As mentioned before, though, sex isn't the only subject that people are bringing up which seems to escape scrutiny. Occasionally, people post immensely sexist or racist things on /oat/ and get their threads removed. Manley, for instance, was banned for being a combination of such things regularly, and using that to start trouble. Meanwhile we've as of late gotten a user (or users, I am unsure), who are making threads featuring those very things while posting as a member of the main six. Each of these threads are obviously messy little troll threads (which is what I thought the purpose of /troll was), with topics like "Being gay is a choice." These threads, somehow, escape moderation when I have seen similar ones, or even less up-front ones, get removed or sent to deathboards.

I understand that there will always be discrepancy inside of the mod staff regardless of the amount of communication present between them. No one is perfect and no one can control their group flawlessly. In fact, without any real strong central leader I'd have to say you guys are doing a ridiculously good job at still chugging along. But these issues are something very broad and confusing and it seems like a flat-out case of some of you being okay with content and some of you not, and moderating as such. That is never something that should occur; there shouldn't ever be an issue which is only against the rules half the time.

> The OP post, for instance, would most certainly fall under:" description, allusion, or depiction of sexual acts in dialogue, text, or images".
I think in this case I'd rather have you link the particular thread, than talk about how stuff doesn't get removed and not linking threads. A matter to really argue and show you're not talking about things as you see it.

> . Meanwhile we've as of late gotten a user (or users, I am unsure), who are making threads featuring those very things while posting as a member of the main six.
Do people really get banned a lot for making such threads incidently?
Yes, I know of which threads you speak, but I think ponychan's first response to that tends to be that people recognize it for simple troll and let people have fun with it, unless that person is consistently spamming those threads around.

Not that, I like them, but I think mods would rather let them be than fall out harshly against them.
Though, I would wager some mod in a bad mood can be like "I ain't taking this shit today". Not so desirable, but ehh.

>>161439

I don't know how that screenshot I posted doesn't convey what I was talking about, but if you'd like the thread, here:

http://www.ponychan.net/chan/oat/res/39413364.html

What started as an innocuous thread became a thread about a guy creepily posting about his foot fetish, breeding with Pokemon and jerking off Hypno.

>Do people really get banned a lot for making such threads incidently?

I never said anything about people being banned. Only that such threads are oftenremoved to /troll/, /entertainyourself/, etc. While, strangely enough, other times they are left to sit.

>Yes, I know of which threads you speak, but I think ponychan's first response to that tends to be that people recognize it for simple troll and let people have fun with it, unless that person is consistently spamming those threads around.

While I would not consider is quite "spamming", I have noticed an increase in the frequency of those threads being posted and they seem to just be allowed to sit.

>Not that, I like them, but I think mods would rather let them be than fall out harshly against them.

Moving such threads is not really what I would call "harsh." I would also consider letting them stay to be more of a problem than letting people do whatever, because there are always some people who want to feed the OP, who then takes this as a sign that he can continue what he is doing.

Moderators shouldn't be scared of weighing down on threads obviously meant to do nothing but incite the ire of other powers, because doing so wouldn't hurt the community so much as improve it. Especially when it mostly consists of offensive statements towards large groups of people.

>>161440
The thread's OP is about the physical size of a machamp, not a sexual thread in the least.
The there are a few Wailord on Skitty action meme-y posts.

Than a Hypno harem joke that get pushed a bit further.

I think the comment about stroking a penis is a bit much though. Not too blatant, but definitely questionable.
Then the thread sort of dies out.

I'd say it's more something about people telling suggestive jokes independent of OP and it doesn't last long.

As for the threads, yeah, then we need to screw the rules on troll threads faster.
I'm not a proponent for that, because it does mean that a new wave of jokes would be technically not allowed as well.

>>161441

I never said the thread's OP was sexual, only that the post that I linked in -my- OP was sexual. And more or less everything else that guy posts. Of course, there have been a multitude of other threads for (or against) the concept of pokemon sex that seems to have become memetic here when it never should have gained any ground in the first place. And these threads often go unmolested.

That sort of stuff doesn't really belong on this website, which is supposed to be safe for work.

>I'm not a proponent for that, because it does mean that a new wave of jokes would be technically not allowed as well.

The threads I am talking about are not "jokes." Not in any accurate sense of the world, anyway. They're meant entirely to garner the irritation of other people on the board and try and get angry responses.

I have no problem with humor done in bad taste, but there's a line that can be drawn in between. Say, for example:

"That's not funny, my grandpa died in the holocaust. He fell out of a guard tower". That is a joke (though whether it is funny or not is up to the listener, naturally.)

Strutting out onto a stage in a nazi uniform and saying "We should kill all the jews" and then leaving is not a joke. Like the first, it plays on dark subject matter, but that's ALL it does. There is no punchline, only empty vacuous space to be filled in with boos and angry shouts.

A lot of jokes , especially on the internet, are suggestive in nature. Ponychan is okay with suggestive.

>And these threads often go unmolested.
Pun intended.

> There is no punchline, only empty vacuous space to be filled in with boos and angry shouts.
Or mocked at, filled with witty comments or ignored.

I think with most of the threads where someone makes a one off obvious troll comment like "Being gay is a choice" or just posting a picture of Hitler people screw around and shitpost in them not because we want them there but because they are consistently there and there's nothing else you can really do with them.

I wouldn't presume to speak for anyone else but I at least would rather they just not be there at all.

>>161454

I agree with this fully. It's less a case of us wanting them to be there to shitpost in. We can do that in any thread that we like! It's more a case of just doing it to spite the OP, which in and of itself is a sort of cycle of loathing each other that is odd to have on Ponychan.

The only one I can think of that the "lets make it fun" thing worked for was the Daily Reminder thread, and that certainly didn't have the impact of "Being gay is a choice" or racism. It isn't quite comparable

Don't delete my bumps or I will razzle your ass up.

It has a lot to do with who makes the post and at what time of the day.

Also, since this is top of the page, breaking-ish news.
