Halp anons, it's the scruffening all over again over on /mlp/. This time they are going after cringe threads, anon in equestria, ect. I am scared anons wut so?
>>2082951I'll try to gather as many anons as possible, hopefully they don't delete this thread too
>>2082951Flurry Heart and EQG writefag threads alive and well everything else is kill. Hasjew confirmed
>>2082990I thought this was /trash/ where nearly everything goes
>>2082951I was writefaging for some random thread that wasn't just an OP with a shitty prompt and that got deleted.Kind of kills your drive.
>>2083126Same here.>tfw Lipstick thread got deleted>tweet threads featuring ex-staff member (Rule fucking 3)REEEEEEEEEEEE
>>2083126>>2083228
>tfw you slavepone green>our Op is kill
good thing they can't get us hereOR CAN THEY
>tfw the general I contribute to the most was taking a week-long break anyways
>>2083282/kspg/ of /vg/ hereIf they feel like it, they can and will delete and ban you even on /trash/There is no escape from the braindead/automated mods
>>2083282In the shadows we hide and count the days until our return.
>>2083046Indeed
Have we ever had tolerable mods?
Anybody know what they're actually banning for? Obviously it's a person-specific thing and they've got some hang-up, but I can't tell what they're trying to purge. Four pages dead seems a little heavy if he's only going after CYOA threads.What's the pattern? Anybody figure it out?
>>2083365I'm taking a lot of screenshots, I'll post them in a while.
>>2083365Nice try mlpMod
>>2083365Supposedly is all non-show related stuff, which means many green generals, fetish and CYOA. Some still survive, but we don't know why, maybe because of the slow influx of content...
>>2083365Mostly Show discussion only and no RP rules are being cited.
/hhh/ hasn't gotten axed yet, but I would be surprised if it didn't.Why the fuck is this happening so suddenly?
>>2082951I don't think it's a planned action.You guys need to calm down;
>>2083365I think it's either a new by-the-book mod, or some random mod who's going out with a bang.Stuff that's getting deleted are threads that are vaguely related to the show, so it's probably the first.
Has anybody been able to reach the 4chan IRC yet?I thought it was the place to contact the mods.
>tfw i only contribute to an emo OC threadgoddammit
>>2083365Some generals and CYOAs are still up and I swear I saw two show-related discussion threads being killed, so no, I don't think there's exactly a pattern.I'm starting to think it's either some sort of script going apeshit or the mods just fucking with us for whatever reason.
I tried to warn them mods were losing it but by the time I had posted /moon/, dazzle thread, IWTCITS, and countless others were thrown into the fire like cheap ikea furniture.I'm scared.
Not to mention, the one mod that pinned up that season premier thread seemed nice enoughThis is just out of the blue
>>2083443>/emo/Muh nigga.Speaking of, does /emo/ have any backup plans, just in case? Cripplechan?
I remember this happened before but it was only a few threads, now they are deleting pages and pages worth of threads
>>2083424I tried but I'm too stupid to figure out how to register a nick>>2083404/hhh/ and trap tickler are still up along with a CYOA about a colt getting fucked in the ass. Mod is confirmed homo. Post horse cocks and we may be able to attract him.
>>2083365All the homo stuff is still up. A bunch of CYOA's are still going. Even some of the bullshit prompts made it. There's no pattern, anon. Someone's just stirring shit up.
We're all over in /sun/ trying to wrap our heads around what the fucks going on. I planned on posting more green today. I don't want to wait another week.
I come home from a grueling twelve hour shift hoping to relax for a while with pictures and stories of cute satyrs doing cute things, and what do I find? Fucking Scruffy deleted the god damned thread. Christ, why does he have to make people with actual jobs suffer?
Where is cripplechan? /anon/? 8ch's /mlp/?
Friend of the anon posting the SCRUFFENING 2.0 thread here.Pic related.
>>2083597>>2083497Why isn't this shit quoting either, jesus
Is anyone here from /pa/?We need to stick together
>>2083591I think you can post it here. I would, but I already got a 24 hour ban on the /mlp/ board, and I don't want to push my luck, and end up with a weeklong
Any /prison/ers here?
Could try making your threads again. I dunno if it's a fluke but dazzle thread has been up for an hour and a half now
>>2083628Dunno. I was thinking /pone/.
>>2083591Hello fellow /satyr/fag! I got a pdf of thread 157 saved if you want it.It ended with a giant argument about incest (What else.) but there's a few cute pictures. The pictures are tiny but they're there.Give me a second and I'll upload it somewhere.
>>2083591I really miss satyrs. I was just about to go to bed for work tomorrow, and I wanted the last thing on my mind before I hit the sack to be about cute satyrs, not the thing that's going on right now.
>>2083581Is there a hard limit to how many bans or thread deletions a mod can do at once? Like a failsafe to prevent them from mass deleting and banning a whole board? Seems like something Moot would not have implemented, but it could be why we're not seeing a total purge of the board.
>>2083666We don't have to move to fucking /pone/ now in order to do these generals, do we?Just because we have "bad taste"?Also, nice trips
>>2083631Dont worry, we have threads secured in both pony and 8 chan, just in case.LNPPanon or someone else already linked threads together.
>>2083497Maybe Cripplechan, because that place is cool with porn and anthro we also think on mlpchan but that place is more dead than my dreams
>>2083689Generals are banned on /pone/
SSHHH, QUIET.I THINK IS GONE....Can someone confirm?Any of you got banned banned or deleted right now?
>>2083674That's okay, don't trouble yourself. I already skimmed through what I missed in the archive. Thanks anyway though.
>>2083704I knowI made them bothI'm scared that we won't be able to get our numbers back up.All of us, scattered to the wind
>>2083737I'm alive... And I think it's over too. Let's wait and see if the mods care to explain what happened.
>>2083741Should I bother making a new thread? I have it set up, but I don't want to risk a ban. [spoiler]I have a CYOA to run.[/spoiler]
>>2083713mlpchan is dead because it merged with ponychan. mlpg.co is also an option.
>>2083713Anthro disgu-oh what's the use were in /trash/ now while /mlp/ is burning to a crisp.I just want my threads back.
>>2083126Same, first time I decided to give it a go rather than just read, and the thread prunes right as I finish the prewrite.
Shoot, the EQG edit thread was one of my favorites, I contributed to it every now and then. So much for that.
>>2083676"Sorry, boss, I can't come into work today.">"You sick, Anon?""Damn right I am! Sick and tired of that faggot Scruffy's shit!">"I, uh... What?"
>>2083782Only one way to prove it. Make a fat pony thread or another green text thread.
Princess aj thread has been up for over an hour. So there's that.
>>2083741Shit. Brain Fart. I forgot desustorage existed.>>2083816...pyrefly? Is that you?
>>2083365>delete all "not show related" thread>show screencaps of /mlp/ and the bans to hiro>hiro delete /mlp/ because the lack of activity
>writefag's cute dash green is goneFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK
>>2083322Manos?
>>2083816Personally, I'd wait a day or so until things blow over before trying to make a new thread. I'd say make it on either ponychan or cripplechan, but they're all either faggots or ultra-faggots.
I'm upset because writefriend was gonna start a cute green, but it got scruffed.http://desustorage.org/mlp/thread/26901530/
>>2083727Nope, just checked. Here are their rules regarding generals:>3. Generals and cross board content are allowed but keep it to a maximum of one thread per topic at any given time.>4. Bumps require a form of content, at least a picture.
>>2083872Yes. I have enough of the starting lore to know what I'm doing now.
They took my fucking threadA circlejerk yes, but ours non the less
If you want a temporary dynamic IP, tether your phone to your computer via usb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HK6EhJpvDOU
Guys, calm down.Writefags, come back tomorrow, it'll probably be settled.Don't let that one faggot mod win.
>>2083899No. I was referring to /emo/. They're also taking a week-long break.
I bet if the board wasn't blue, this Scruffening shit wouldn't be happening.
>>2083889I feel ya. Was keeping up on a cute cuddling thread.
>>2083727Do you really think that?
I just checked /mlp/ apparently it's over there haven't been any announcements yet but but green text and CYOA threads are starting to run again
i posted no porn, i said no profanities, misspelled mods.still got deleted.
>>2083917Holy shit. It's a hell of a day for you to return.
>>2083930Oh and make sure to delete your cookies
>get raided by /b/>raid ends and we are good for a day>get raided by mods>to the trash we go.
based modsonce all the greentext and general faggots leave for double chan they board will return to its former glory
>>2083908Oh shit, that was me. Um, sorry, I guess?
>>2083674Fuck, I even miss the constant arguing and self entitled anons that seemed to think that all discussion and content must only involve their own personal headcanon and nothing else, and yet would never actually contribute content of their own.
>>2083930>>2083983Yep. Till your IP gets banned. Slight advantage though is every 2-3 hours of not being connected to your mobile network, you'll get a new IP. Then again, depends on your network provider and their IP lease certificates.
>>2083994>former gloryShitposting? /b/ with pones and Christian image rules?This has to be bait. Because there was no former glory without writefag and generals
>>2083994>implying /mlp/ ever had any glory to begin withNigger, you can polish a turn until it shines like gold, in the end it's still shit.
>>2084003Not your fault Anon, but it would really cheer us up if you continued. Though I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to.
>>2083994Nice bait.
>>2083908Were you talking to 454? Or 544?I'm 454.
>>2083994
>>2083994>former gloryyou mean greentext and generals?also this is really nice bait fampai
>>2083994>once all the greentext and general faggots leave for double chan, there will be no /mlp/ anymore.ftfy
>>2083994Yeah, because the first scruffening did so much to better /mlp/.
maybe barneyfag got mod?
>>2083957It seems calm now for the moment. Hopefully one of the other mods told him to stop
>>2084008Most US ones give a new IP when you toggle airplane mode iirc. used to use it to fuck with strawpolls on cyoas once.
I think it's over, lads. A lot of the generals put up new threads and the ban hammer is nowhere in sight.
>>2084076huh, I didnt see your story somehow when I was posting mine. Hello fellow writer!
/mlp is healing now?
I think he finally gave up. 3 of my spam threads are up at once.
>>2084076I enjoyed both. Though your green seems more hijinky. >>2084113I'll give that a bash on mine shortly then.
>>2083983>>2083930>>2083992With Verizon all you need to do is disconnect from your data for a few seconds and you'll get a new IP. I didn't watch the video btw
>>2083928All good threads will rise again eventually. I have hope in that.
>>2084008Just wait until IPv6 gets widespread usage. You can get yourself around 16000 IPs or so to fuck with them.
>>2084013>Because there was no former glory without writefag and generalsActually there was, but only when the show, the fandom and the content creation was active enough to keep the board alive and to fuel discussion. Those days have passed and even if I'm not a big fan of generals I don't really mind them as long as they are MLP-related [spoiler]but please can we stop bumping threads which have been dead for days already?[/spoiler]
>>2084109Thought had crossed my mind, but It'd be a cold day in hell before they signed him up.
>>2083817you can do a OC general on mlpg?Also that place is even more dead i like more cripple if you ask mebut i guess we have to wait[spoiler]go to skype you shit[/spoiler]
>>2084130barely
I fucking love this shit. Not the whole general and thread deleting thats happening, but that the whole of /mlp/ is coming together in like a little defence force against the tides of the mods.Like we're fighting a little war and we're trading intel and discussing theories and plans and take care of eachother in these trying times. Anons that usually dont get to talk to eachother are suddenly bashing the faggotmods together, or are just commenting on the situations as a whole.I know I'm a pathetic excuse for a human being but I love this, and I love you guys.You're the closest I have to friends.
>>2084172Do you not remember what happens everytime the show goes on hiatus? Discussion only goes so far senpai
>>2084214Well shit, that warmed my heart for a moment.
>>2084214Natural human response when scared.[spoiler]Go outside and play Anon[/spoiler]
>>2084217the moment I mean was around 2012, the S2-S3 hiatus was pretty active with all the stuff going on and we used to have much less generals than we have now.Again, I don't mind.
>>2084214>You're the closest I have to friends.I was going to call you a faggot until this.
>>2084214/mlp/ is literally dead though
>>2084192Sorry for not using Skype, but I don't have one and I was just wondering if /emo/ had any backup plans and whatnot.
/mlp/ is up to 8 pages now.
I hate all those fucking generals. I hope the mods delete every single one of them. They're all just clogging /mlp/ up like a piece of shit that won't flush properly.
>>2084214it's happened before though like that time reddit kept posting porn all over our board but i get where you're coming from [spoiler] friend [/spoiler]
>>2084271Desustorage's stats are fucked.https://arch.b4k.co/mlp/statistics/post-rate/
>>2084271That said 900+ an hour ago
Give me ideas for some test threads
>>2084214W-wow...um thanks for the sentiment I guess?Y-you too?
>>2084271that shit is broken. /mlp/ gets around 10-12k posts per day, and around 500 per hour.
>>2084310why mauds, why. with maud as the image
>>2084310Try making a thread that I just saw deleted that was about about what we think the different regions of Equestria will be shown. I'm sure it was deleted because it was utterly not show related but maybe you can make it more convincing
>>2084260Really because I remember "dead board" even during FIM prime when it went on hiatus, yes there were less generals back then, but there was way more fan content though
>>2084366I don't understand why they would delete that thread.
>>2084214Me too bro. If something really did happen to /mlp/, I don't know what I'd do.
>>2083727>generals are bannedNo fun anywhere it seems
>>2084124You going to make a pastebin writefriend? I was also looking forward to Twilight gently nuzzling into Anons thigh then choking on her own snores.
>>2083591>>2083674>>2083676>>2083741>>2083816>>2083872>>2083917>>2084007New satyr thread is up. Let's see how long it lasts.>>26906139
>>2084420Oh
>>2084389Because they're Fucking faggots who need a giant horsecock up their ass so they can loosen up and stop being so stupidly strict
yet this shit stayed up >>>mlp/26884613there was no reason to the deletion, just an autistic fit of rage.
>>2084366But they've more or less confirmed Spike in Dragonstone haven't they?
>>2084441For the record that's not the thread going down, that's just me not knowing how to link a thread from another board.
>>2084459 >>>/mlp/26884613i never do it right the 1st time damnit

Shitty generals and "oh anon fug me in the horsepussy" copy-paste greens getting deleted?Fuck yes!Go create a fimfiction group if you wanna crave your poorly written self-insert porn circlejerks that badly.
>>2084885Too bad they also can't delete faggots like you.
>>2084831You could try praying to the Omnissiah for forgiveness for your sins and offer up a sacrifice of holy thermal paste to your proccessor's machine spirit, that may work.
OH SHIT>>>/mlp/26906578SCRUFFY HAS SPOKEN
>>2084917Too bad your pitiful wankfest doesn't give you literal aids.
>>2084924Could have just said that from the start instead of trashing the place
>>2084780Noticed how fast the generals regenerated.mod sticky up
>>2084924I really, really dislike that guy quite a bit, and he ain't my nigga.
>>2084924>greentext baitSome of the threads deleted had literally none of that. fuck this mod
>>2084964It's probably another mod, which was set into place by ours when he arrived.
>>2084924Literally fuck him. Mass exodus from /mlp/ to /trash/ when????
>>2084989Awww so sorry he didn't delete all the poo poo threads that doesn't cater to your need, whiny chan.
>>2084924i wonder if everyone who replies to >>>/mlp/26906662 will get banned
>>2084924Honestly, I kind of get his point, but as others have pointed out, a lot of the stuff deleted was nothing of the sort. Most of them were generals that had been around for a while.
>>2085016I think he's complaining about threads BEING deleted, anon. Not the other way around. The whiners are the ones bitching about the content of threads.
>>2085067Generals are fucking cancer and I'm glad you fuckers are finally getting your circlejerk threads deleted
>>2084924Really could have used this shit a couple years ago when those garbage murder roleplaying threads were a nightly thing and were left up for hours on end.
>>2085082Yeah no, it's probably this >>2085097 guy.>>2085067Probably the mod fucking around before putting htat.
>>2084924The problem with shit prompt threads is that even though they're shit, there's at least one in five that manages to attract decent content.I know there were a lot of assmad children who were getting sick of them, but really, all you had to do was click out of the thread and not give it a second glace.>a thread died for this!And guess what? It was a shit prompt thread that no one cared to bump. Literally nothing of value was lost, for it was simply replaced.It's not the fault of the autists who make these threads, it's the fault of the autists who have an all consuming need to post in them because they enjoy being bitter and angry.Reflect upon your misery. You might find that the source of it is you.
>>2085123>Abloobloobloo I can't circlejerk anymore
Basically picWHAT THE FUCK SCRUFFYYOU GOT YOUR ASS HANDED TO HIRO AND THEN NEEDED AN EXPLANATION OF WHY WHERE YOU BEING A FAGGOT?Why is this kind of threads banned?, they don't seem so off-topic.
>>2085153I've noticed that virtually everyone who complains about this stuff provides absolutely nothing for the board.
They could have just put up the sticky first and delete those threads instead of banning people. They are on full damage control for shitting up the board out of nowhere
>>2085153>a thread died for this!
>>2085153>decent content>"oh anon your human dick erects me so">"oh anon i'm so lonely">"oh anon">"oh anon"
>>2082951Just migrate everyone over to /trash/. Let /mlp/ fade into obscurity, and the mods get fired.
>scruffy finally decides to start banning annoying easy to make shitpost threads that were constantly posted for the sake of shitposting"IT'S A SCRUFFENING HOLY FUCK SHIT PISS FUCK BLACK ALERT THE PRESS CALL THE PRESIDENT KILL SOME NIGGERS"
Someone explain to me how >show related = role-playingBecause that was the bullshit excuse he was using earlier and banned me for while I was just being curious and made a thread asking Wtf was going on
>>2085247>everyone over to /trash/I know we're stupid, but we're not that autistic
What? You should thank scruff. #make/mlp/greatagain
It sure would be a shame if the mods were flooded by people reporting Scruffy's sticky.
>>2085325Couldn't that get you banned?
>>2085123I'm not guy.
>>2085325Gee, anon. What a great idea.Tell me, have you tried it yourself?
>>2084924I'm ok with this in principle. But it sounds like the execution was lacking [spoiler]by which I mean scruffy being a retard and not actually looking at the threads he was deleting[/spoiler].I still think a better rule is "no bumps without content". That will kill off all the shitty "bump generals" that contribute nothing to the board.
>>2085340Yes, that's why I'm not advocating it.
>>2085325If sure would be a shame if you could stop sucking aids-ridden writefag dick for a second
>>2082951>stickyHoly fuck I'm laffin.I say this as someone who's enjoyed more than my share of greens started from those threads.
>>2085288They are making shit up to cover up for someone. It was completely intentional because they deleted cringe threads and some art threads. They also gave bans instead of warning people.
>>2085192Yes this. Ideally:>post sticky, "we are planning on doing thing">get some actual feedback from the community>"ok we are doing thing, such-and-such threads are now banned">delete all such-and-such threads for a day or 2>ONLY THEN start banning people who continue to make them
>>2085371What's funny is that there wasn't a single "Hi anon" thread created during that time, their hiding something
>>2085171>they don't seem so off-topic.technically they aren't, its not about being ontopic, hell, its not about the shitposting, its about over saturation, prompts become generals, generals take too much space and other kinds of threads can't keep up, instead of 30 different generals with a single writefag and 4 guys kissing his ass someone should have made a general for prompt requests already, they would work just like drawthreads but with short stories, this way we could still have the green without flooding the board with "Anon fucks a horse general #122 - faggot edition"
>>2085359>I still think a better rule is "no bumps without content"I've been trying to advocate this on feedback for months, I can only hope that this new development includes these as well as terrible prompt threads.
>>2085370Would it? Damn, I'd best carry on then. Thanks for the advice.
>>2085359this will just kill CYOAs though, and a bunch of other threads that aren't even prompts, an easier solution would be confining the prompts inside a single general while creating a way to filter generals from regular threads without deleting them, like i dunno, a way to mark them as generals when creating them and adding a "filter all generals" feature for those who don't want to see them
>>2085513thisTHIS90% of /vg/ could be fixed with this
>>2084924>CYOA threads are not roleplayingthen why did a bunch of those get scruffed as well? Seems like someone went on an autist-rage spree and they just decided to roll with it instead of getting him the fuck out.
>>2084924They should just kill /mlp/ already.With the existence of /trash/, /mlp/ isn't absolutely required anymore.
>>2085567>this will just kill CYOAs thoughFine by me. If the QM isn't running a session, and the players have run out of topics to discuss, then why not just let the thread die? The QM can make a new thread when it's time for the next session.
>>2085627>new mod>Scruffy tells him "yeah go nuke some rp threads">thinks CYOA is rp>goes ham
>>2085800because if you actually followed CYOAs you would know that the QM sometimes takes breaks or something happens that puts the story on hold for a moment, unless the thread itself is really shitty people will allow it to die when the QM say he is done for the day
>>2085806This honestly sounds like what happened. The stickied post doesn't even read like it was written by the same person who did the deletion and banning since it has a bunch of "HI ANON" examples despite there not being a single thread like that up during the whole affair. Now I know those are likely just an example, but I haven't even seen a "HI ANON" thread in fucking forever. Why not choose actually real and particulairly egregious "rp thread" examples from while you were cleaning things up to help illustrate your point better?
>>2085871Its not rocket science, any thread where OP post a pony and there is a green of pony saying something related to image, you know the ones
>>2085806>xDDDDDDDDDD>Not a single Hi Anon! thread deleted during that entire thing>Most generals EXCEPT homo generals and trap generals were deleted>But I'm just going to post this anyways, because the mods totally weren't damage controlling
>>2085895>Most generals EXCEPT homo generals and trap generals were deletedIs mod is cherry picking deletes according to their own personal bias/agenda?just sayin'
>>2085975Oh god.We have the /tv/ mod.NO. FUCK NO.
These were couple of the threads that were not rp or what ever the fuck the mods are talking about that I managed to have screen capped. DAMAGE CONTROL, MODS WERE DELETING EVERYTHING
>>2085832The thread would only die if (1) the QM is currently away AND (2) the players have run out of things to discuss AND (3) 1 and 2 have been true for at least 2 hours (the minimum time it usually takes for a thread to get pruned). How is this a problem? If the only new posts on the thread are going to be "bump bump bump" for the next 6 hours, then what's the benefit to having it on the board for that extra time?
>>2086032>6 hoursTry three days of bump, bump, bump
>>2085975You think I'm fucking kidding?The general I came here for (/hhh/) was among the only ones that were NOT deleted, and it was on the front page during the entire mod banning spree because of mass posting.I'll correct myself though, most generals except homo generals, trap generals, some EQG generals, and (I think?) the flutterrape general were deleted.Mods truly are fags, because now it looks like they prefer their own personal beliefs and opinions over other peoples' "bad tastes".Especailly when NO RP threads such as Hi Anon!, shimmerposting, glimmerposting, and nyxposting were deleted during the mod ban spree.Maybe 2 or 3. Meanwhile a shit ton of generals were deleted.Hello Scruffening 2.0.
>Sugar/salt dealer anon thread is deleted>Not a single line of RPReally mods?
>>2085832>>2086032Honestly, if I were to run a CYOA and needed a couple hours break or so, I'd tell everyone not to bother bumping unless they -really- needed some indepth discussion about it since I could always just make a new thread. But that's just me being polite and courteous to the rest of the board.
>>2086008>There were a couple of threads that were not RP that were deleteddude, essentially all of the threads that were deleted weren't RP. not even a single hint of RP, besides CYOA, which Scruffy clarified in the sticky as not being RP in their eyes.
>>2086008Mods are on crack. Plus their explanation sticky doesn't help. I can understand wanting to get rid of low-effort greentext bait. I can't understand calling prompt threads "roleplaying". And I haven't seen any actual "HI ANON" threads in ages.Honestly, the phrasing of the no-roleplaying rule seems pretty stupid at this point. This is the second time they've had to carve out a special exemption for something that is very obviously roleplaying but also shouldn't be banned (CYOAs this time, previous was structured RPGs as in FEMTO or OiE).
>>2086032like i said, some CYOAs are really shitty and people refuse to let the thread die even when QM is clearly done, but nuking all of them wouldn't be fair with the few CYOAs that get it right
>>2086073Some trashfag probably reported it for being a prompt. Mods dangled a bone and now they're barking.That's what I meant by the occasional 1 in 5 actually being a prompt that manages to get good content. I bet they didn't even look at the thread.
>>2086098Tripfag, is that you?Because if it is... jesus dude, how long have you been on?
>>2086126Depends which tripfag you might think I am, unless there's a tripfag literally named Tripfag.In either case, I usually spend about 12-16 hours lurking.
>>2086112I bet scruffy's mom didn't make him tendies for lunch, so now he's being a faggot.
>>2086155I meant in years.As for which tripfag, I saw a tripfag posting that exact same image not too long ago in a thread complaining about the sticky.
>>2086072You can sort catalog by creation date and scroll to the bottom to see what survived from before the mass deletions. (Also useful to mouse-over threads and check their creation date/time.)I see the following threads survived:> Generals:Drawfag ThreadTrap TicklerDraw ThreadFimfiction threadPlush ThreadHomo Horse Hangout> Pony threads:Nightly Twilight ThreadQueen Umbra ThreadRainbow Dash ThreadVinyl Scratch ThreadMoondancer Thread> CYOAs:"It's Still Easter Somewhere"ThresholdHijackCurseQuestColtquest> Prompt threads:Martial Arts AnonHeart of WarSpider-ShimDadonequus Thread> Misc:4chan CupWallpaper ThreadCringe ThreadAnon's Pie Adventure
>"We know /mlp/ thrives under relaxed moderation">increases moderation anyways
>>2086106What are you talking about, "nuking all of them"? Adding a "no bump without content" just means people will get banned when they are "getting it wrong" (by your own standards) and trying to keep a thread around despite having no QM or discussion.
>>2086192Oh yeah, that might have been me.I picked up on the site back in '07 I think, when a friend from high school told me about it. I used to only visit /b/ and the porn boards back then before taking a break and then finding it again a few years later. Specifically /mlp/, but I've slowly been expanding my interests beyond porn ;^)
>>2086314Let me put this in a way you can understand>CYOA happening>"QM: okay guys, i need some time to draw this shit and make a poll because my car crashed and the prom is tomorrow, give me a minute">"okay, we will keep the thread alive">"oh no, we are on page 8 already, what do?">"bum-no wait">thread is kill before QM is backThe "bumpfest" is only a problem when the thread is already over, there are faggots who try to keep it alive overnight instead of just letting it die and waiting for the QM to make one later, which just ends up taking space
>>2086276And you don't realize that that is an INCREDIBLY small amount of generals, CYOAs, and prompt threads? Maybe even misc threads?I'm not talking about pony threads since the threads deleted were deleted because they were "non-pony".You and I both know that, even without there being a hiatus, that is an INCREDIBLY small amount of generals and CYOAs. especially generals.
>>2086380>"give me a minute">posts no content and no status updates for 3+ hours, long enough for the thread to fall off the board(For reference, the oldest thread on /mlp/ right now hasn't been bumped in 8.5 hours. The 5th oldest hasn't been bumped in 4.5 hours.)If the QM's going to be gone for such a long time, why shouldn't the thread be allowed to die? Is it really that difficult to just remake the thread? Plus, it only takes one page10 bump with content to add another 3-6 hours onto the time the thread sticks around.
>>2086276are you saying that's a lot of threads? not the anon, but ask any general or CYOA thread out there and they will probably say they were deleted. there's a good reason why so many people rebelled.
>>2086476Whoa, chill dude. I wasn't saying anything about whether that's a large or small number of generals, just that those are the generals that survived the purge.
http://strawpoll.me/7214571http://strawpoll.me/7214571http://strawpoll.me/7214571VOTE
Anyone going back to /mlp/ after this is a faggot.We could settle here, give this board a traffic injection, and we wouldn't have the burden of having to fill up an entire board.Here, an MLP General would actually make some goddamn sense.
>>2085457But that already exists seeing as most of the prompt threads become Anon related. It's called AiE and people whine about having to go in there even though years ago it was created to take care of the issue of too many human in Equestria greentext stories flooding out the board. But what happened is people got ass mad that others got more recognition than their shittier story did so they ran out of the thread and made their own splinter thread. Keep doing this and the AiE containment dies causing these serial threads that last maybe 10 iterations or are just filled with BUMP BUMP BUMP over aND over.
>>2086476>>2086551Oh, and also, I only counted threads with titles, which was maybe half of the threads older than 6 hours. So there are a lot of miscellaneous, non-recurring threads that aren't on that list.
>>2086551I'm chill, but the ban spree definitely affected over 75% of all of the generals, etc. on the board. 10 pages is a lot of space, anon.
>>2086493Because its dumb, why make 3 different threads a day when you can just have one and bump it once or twice? Like i said, its only a issue if he is already done for the day and there is no reason to bump it
What we're about to see is another problem with the context clause.I use this as an opener, but it's not a prompt. It doesn't matter, since newfag the mod only sees the face and doesn't actually look at the content of the opening post, much less the thread. But before that, newfag the mod can't focus on the fact that it's a "promptface" because it happens to be Milky Way. It doesn't matter that it's not a Milky Way thread, it doesn't matter that it's safe for work. Context isn't even considered.Now imagine this is Cadance. I say something in green, along the lines of>"Hey Anon! Did you see that changeling headed towards my castle?!"It's not a roleplay prompt, it's a cheeky show discussion prompt hidden in dialogue. It's different, which is good, because the same old shit gets boring.But again, context doesn't matter. Actually taking time to glance over what you're about to delete doesn't matter. You're triggered by an image you think is one thing but isn't, and you're never going to consider that attitude as cancerous because you're too lazy to use higher reasoning.
>>2086594/threadCouldn't have said better myself, while the prompts are indeed a issue the execution is flawed
>>2086594Anon, I'm happy to argue that this is almost as bad as the original Scruffening.>>>/mlp/26908165#p26908350This shit is interfering with writefagging, Anon.Writefagging.And to think removing Hi Anon! threads and shit similar to that hurt writefagging enough.
>>2086664Shit, I accidentally linked to the thread.>>>/mlp/26908350
>>2086594Or to say it short, mods dont give a shit and do what they want, and Anons cant do shit about it.
>>2086556He should have just started with the sticky and explained that low-quality threads won't be as tolerated any more.>>2086594The issue is most of those threads usually are just more shitposting. Just because they can -sometimes- lead to thoughtful discussion doesn't negate that. Perhaps people actually looking for thoughtful discussion ought to actually try making an opening post made with that in mind. On the other hand, I do understand that most of the time the best way to get attention to a thread is to open with something that attracts people's attention, and shitposting unfortunately is at the top of that list.
>>2086276I'm annoyed that Don't Fuck Quest died
>>2086753Fucking biggers.
...Can you borrow him for /tg/? Just for one day.
>>2086593If it only needs one or two bumps, then it shouldn't be hard to find one or two small bits of content (pics, discussion, anything), right?
>>2086594>Hey /mlp/, we don't like your shit. We're going to mass ban most of /mlp/ and take down most generals, CYOAs, etc, reducing the amount of pages massively, just like the Scruffening.>"What the fuck mods? Why the fuck would you do this? Rebel!">Hey /mlp/, sorry about that ban spree. We know we wanted to fuck you guys over and we really don't care about your board, but because we want to cover our asses and our jobs, we're going to go ahead and make some damage control, claiming that it was for the wellbeing of the board to remove such RP threads even though we didn't remove any RP threads at all. LOL! Fuck you anons, we just fucked you over and you can't do anything about it.>"This is the last straw! This is Scruffening 2.0! Rebel! Rebel! Rebel!">By the way, we've convinced some SJWs and jews to stay on our sides because they believe we were being sincere and were doing it to help the board, even though there's plenty of evidence against us doing this to help the board. We know they're newfags, we know they haven't gone through the scruffening, but we honestly don't care, because this is providing some good cover for our asses.>>Ugh, fuck /mlp/! It's full of newfags and retards! The janitors did everything right by deleting those threads and adding new rules for absolutely no reason out of the blue! I'm glad they did what they did! Mods are gods.Dude, the amount of fucking deja vu I'm getting from writing this post.Neo/mlp/ is real and it is here.
>>2086794We all new the bigger conspiracy would strike, but not like this
>>2086835>All those rulefags that flooded the board during the ScruffeningI don't want to think about those times.
>>2086835>>2086901If ever there was something that would push me to the brink of getting off this ride, this is it
>>2086835You have a point, they did A and said B, if their motivations really are true they should justify and explain why they haven't deleted content that technically goes against what they said
>>2086901I hate to say it anon, but it really does look like the Scruffening 2.0 is happening, especially with the amount of fucking rulefags flooding the board.Again.>b-but Hi Anon! threads are fucking horrible!>b-but RP threads are fucking horrible!>xDFucking disgusts me.Most of the best writefags and greens come from those types of threads, and now they're gone.We can only hope they don't eventually ban generals, because those are apparently banned in /pone/.
>>2086835One thing is different.The amount of people willing to rebel to the point we only have 3 pages left.
You're all missing a really important aspect.Last night, Faust got drunk and posted a ton of stuff about horses. Today we're seeing mass thread removal.The same thing happened after Faust had a Q&A thread. She talks about horses, threads are removed en masse shortly after.What does it all mean?
>>2086940No anon, you misunderstand me.I support the rebelling. I even participated and somehow didn't get banned.It's the SJW fags, moralfags, and rulefags that I fucking despise.
>>2086980ohshit
>>2086835Fucking agreed. Out of all the six bans I ever had received, they're all from /mlp/ for some vague ass reason. I frequent 4 other boards and purposely shit post in them and never get banned. Meanwhile I get 3 days for posting a censored lewd pic in /mlp/. Not to mention I hardly visit /mlp/ in the first places. Everyday they are going to enforce the rules harder and harder until we break. First it was the porn, then it was fun threads like tulpas, and now greens. They are going to keep getting away with it until the entire board is deleted. We need to rebel NOW
>>2086980I don't know if Faust is the main reason behind this. I do think that the mass spam of twitter threads could have caused a mod to go apeshit and mass delete and ban, though.
>>2083365i am almost cirtain soem faggot hacked into on of the mods computer and found away to do itit happened on /pol/ a few years back this or one of the mods left there computer on while a friend is at there house and trolling bye deleting random shit
>>2086980Except the first scruffening had started prior to her visit. I remember cause the MMP thread was randomly getting deleted every other day or so almost two weeks before she visited.
>>2086915>>2086937It's bad, but things get better. Give it a week and you'll hardly notice a difference. This Scruffy just went nuts and then left, the original Scruffenator did this shit for months.>>2086980>Tay happens>S6 happens>Faust happensThis is one of those moments; a minor happening in history.
>>2086937A lot of people consider those things issues because they ARE issues, not in a "they don't produce content" kinda of way, but the fact that they are all over the place and end up burring other actually good threads with content because they aren't fast enough, should someone do something about the prompts and "hey anon" ish shit? Yes, is this the way to do it? No, but mods acknowledging this is giving people hope that they will see the complaints and change the aproach on the subject
>>2087025No it happened after. Or at least, it got much worse after she visited. She even said on Twitter she was sorry for possibly making things worse.As for MMP, I think that thread just had shit luck.
>>2086992>Then it was fun threads like tulpasWhat? Tulpa threads were banned in the scruffening?Shit, I stopped forcing and shit like that years ago and I still feel fucking sad right now. Are you for real?I guess that's why I never see a mass amount of tulpafag threads anymoreBut yeah, I really do think we should rebel. We have done it massively before, and it caused /mlp/ to be created. We need to do it again, or else we're going to witness /mlp/ drive itself into the fucking ground, maybe before the show is even over.Moot fucking hated us, but I'm not too sure about the gook
>>2087036>This Scruffy just went nuts and then left, the original Scruffenator did this shit for months.I was there man, it's just giving me flashbacks, couple that with me being underwhelmed by season 6 and I'm seriously at the point of stepping off the edge
>>2082951my thread is still up>>>/mlp/26908267
>>2087055It began before the visit and ramped up after her visit and only then people started taking notice. But it certainly wasn't due to her visit like everyone seems to think. And wasn't just limited to MMP. There was even a sticky that went up a couple weeks before that said they were going to clamp down on the rule breaking. https://desustorage.org/mlp/thread/10567634/#10567634
Guys something is also happening on desutaorage. Usually you can see every deleted post but for some reason only a fraction of the ones deleted by scruffy appear. Not only that but when I refreshed it even more threads that were even listed in the archive disappear. Someone is trying to hide the damage done.
>>2087037There is a difference between these:>Hi anon!>Where the fuck were you last night?>You wake up and see this.>Wat do?>Hey anon!>What's that in your hand?And:>Hi anon!>Want to raid tumblr?>Hey anon, you're a huge faggot.>What's up anon xDDDDDDDContext matters. Threads like Hi Anon! are good as long as they aren't spammed, just like any other type of thread.If a single general was spammed with shitposting and replies not going anywhere, would you think that the general should be abolished?If a single general was producing writefags, writefag material, and greens, would you think the general should be abolished?It really does matter, and grouping the two different uses of the prompt threads are a great way to kill off a great chunk of the creativity made by the board. They're the same thing. Certain types of threads create shit sometimes, and create gold other times. Why aren't they being targeted as well? Why are just """"""roleplaying""""" threads being attacked? You even have fucking writefags worrying about whether or not they can post greens without being banned, for fuck's sake.And also, I think we all know that by this point, it is fucking damage control. 100%.
>>2087102this is a very abstract bait thread
>>2087160>It's happening on desustoragewhati better not hear a possible fucking bargain arising here
>>2087056>Tulpa threads were banned in the scruffening?Yeah, but those faggots fought harder than others. There's a Tulpa thread up on /trash/ right now though.>>2087142Damn, that is vintage. Too bad they went twelve steps beyond "clamping down on rule-breaking". I don't see that happening here, but hey, the next few weeks could be interesting.
>>2087171
>>2087201
>>2087056Tulpa threads were never banned. The moderator at the time said the only reason they were being deleted was because there were no more pony tulpas being made, therefore it became off-topic to the board.He said it was fine to continue if they made it about ponies again, but even though they tried, the trashfags smelled blood in the water and considered a banned thread just because of a few deletions, so they started mass reporting them like the rest.Ultimately it fell in place with the unwillingness of the mods to deal with a constant perceived problem, even though other people were the reason for it.
>>2087179Check too see if you see any of those deleted threads here, there are very little of them https://desustorage.org/mlp/search/deleted/deleted/page/1/
Any survivors of the anon x Sweetie Belle thread here?
>>2087266Writer was gritsaw?
>>2087254>https://desustorage.org/mlp/search/deleted/deleted/page/1/
>>2087162First of all ask yourself this, what makes "Hi anon" and IWTCIRD threads acceptable while Shimmer or Nyxposting doesn't besides tradition? Not everything needs to be set on stone, /mlp/ isn't a very strict board and it doesn't need to be.Like you said, some shitty threads can end up being fucking amazing and i agree, but having a rule that keeps the worse of the worse from spreading can really help as long as the mods don't go full retard like they did right now, shit worked before because even when we had shitposting it was always very tamed and easy to ignore, the only people who got banned were the ones who reached critical levels of dedication, the moment it stopped just being a shitty thread a day and became legit spam of CP or some shitLike i said before, the idea is good, having a way to stop shitty prompts is good, the execution however was bad and this whole thing needs to be planned again if the mods aren't just damage controlling
>>2087312mediocrewritefag, ponybones, snd twiligh/tg/ame_nightIt'll probably get scruffed on site because it used the words "Hi nonny" in the prompt and I think they're using some arsetarded auto delete system
>>2087162The problem with prompt threads (by which I specifically mean the first category in your post, not the second) isn't the content, it's that people are filling up the board with these low-quality threads because they're so easy to make. I would be perfectly happy to see them consolidated into a single Prompt/Greentext General. We used to have AiE for this purpose, but I guess there was a bunch of drama or something and now it's fragmented into 50 different little threads.
>>2087362Don't think I was in that thread. Got a link to an archive or a post number I can look up?>>2087254>Janitor general>Thread theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBEBkZ7sPMoI got something betterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IStyWkvKP5M
>>2087372This, when we have 30 people saying "fuck it, its just another general, it can't make any bad, right?" at the same time of course things will go to shit, and getting rid of any of them would be bad since none of them are doing anything different from each other, they are just people enjoying some green on their own threads, why should that one be banned while the others are allowed to stay? Why can't i make a thread about this while other 20 people can? Why is my prompt considered shitposting yet his story is completely fine? I am saying this assuming the person in particular isn't a shitposter
>>2087400Here:https://desustorage.org/mlp/thread/26818369/Get ready for a long bit of reading though
>>2087329Holy shit they don't exist in the archive. The mods deleted them from there to hide the fact that they fucked up
>>2087666Fucking mods, why do they always have to be such massive fags
>>2087362Well, if an anon were to make a thread in the vein of the Heart of War thread currently up, I'm sure the thread would survive and the writefags would come back. Could be a crapshoot, though.
>>2087666You better thank one of those threads in the archive, because I would not have gotten that image without an OP putting that shit there.Holy shit, /mlp/ fucked up bigtime.
did anyone save the lewd edit pic of rarity and big cock anon in pencil's mlp thread?i need it for reasons

>>2086562To be fair, AiE has its own problems. But that doesn't excuse making your own thread and lowering the quality of the board even further with even shittier stories than the ones AiE put out.Hugboxes kill any drive for improvement. So does dealing with a bunch of huge faggots though. There's a sweet spot that nobody seems to hit though because muh 4chan muh autism we are leegun
>mfw all the shitty writefag bait prompts that turned into bump generals are finally gone
Desustorage.org admin here. What threads were deleted out of the archive? I might be able to see who did, correct the problem, and bring it back.
