At least images would be easier to police if anon couldn't upload.

I wouldn't bother uploading anything if they did. I CBA to make an account when the cookies fizzle out after such a short time of inactivity. And, it's not as if people wouldn't just start making DildoKing1012022033 accounts to keep on truckin' with.

Speaking as an Anon who has uploaded non-troll images, I think that if you do that, then

1. There will be less art, as many Anons won't get accounts.
2. The Sun and Moon will continue to rise and set over Equestria on schedule.

If Anon uploading is a problem, then it is reasonable for the people who actually have accounts to do something about it. There's a big Internet out there, and it won't kill anyone if some of the stuff gets posted elsewhere, instead.

No. There are lots of good images uploaded by anons.

How about a flagging system? If an image gets flagged too many times it is hidden until some moderator checks it and either deletes or restores it? Image can be hidden/restored only once to prevent too much abuse.

What I'd really like to see is upload limit to prevent gigantic image dumps. Something like 5 images/hour limit.

I know all these can be worked around with proxies/etc., but couldn't it be even tried?

DeeperMadness

It still seems that the best way is to either not click the images in the first place (we're blessed with fairly big thumbnails here) or to report them. I don't recommend getting trigger-happy with the button though; sometimes some legitimate art designed to appeal to perks, interests or fetishes is posted, so even if you don't like it, someone else might do.

It's still not worth posting a comment and getting worked up over an image. Troll pics are there to enrage and upset: if you stop them from doing either, you win.

I dunno, I might be miles off with that train of thought, but I still think it's sometimes worth taking a step back to think about something before you do it.

Deeper has a point now that i think about it. Policing some pics is likely to alienate some one or some group.

If you had removed anonymous posting months a go, this site would now be porn free. And just how many artists and memes started from clop pics or trolling? Hmm?

Sweetiepoo, Scootabuse, Futashy, pin-up girl calender. Recently "foalcon" tags got added because the topic was constantly raised on the table by "trolls".

I will personally stop delivering, if you force everyone to use booru accounts. Because I dont deliver to Booru's users, but to the MLP:FiM fans. Theres a huge difference between those two. One is a faceless mass that likes/loves MLP and the other is 3-4 people commenting on every damn picture about their opinions. Even if this place is free for everyone to roam, those 3-4 members will ruin it for me as they overshadow the voiceless group.

I didn't realize that all registered members of this site hated porn.

meh, we anons wont leave, we'd only make a script to register 20+ accounts a day, or one to crack other people's accounts to impersonate them.

as it is, even MANUAL batch registering is easy as fuck, and trolls wont stop trolling because of bans or names, back in my day trolling meant something, it meant "letting people know you're not important, only what you do is"

That said, Anon is not an organization, so you other fags stop acting like it is, this account is troll##troll, you other trolls can have it if you want.

Thanks for the personality evaluation. I assume that you are a psychiatric expert, so keep up the good work mate.

The difference between names and anons, is that when names say things there are consequences. (however small they are)
Thats what im saying here, but to the single thing you pointed out.

Tolerance is putting up with something. This does not mean that I can't put out my opinion, or bring things up for discussion. Note how this was an actual discussion before the last few anon posts.

@Kanashi1kage
Ture, but thry wouldn't have gotten nearly the amount of attention or time span.

Yeah, mate, get to the point of making scripts to register accounts then im sure that the admins will actually come in and start baning IPs.
Also, anons gets pretty tired over long periods of time, it wouldn't be long for that to stop.

if we wanted to get rid of the site but admins ban Ip's theres proxies, wlan cracking and public wlan hubs

Admins ban those, we could DDoS, or just drive to 417 Associated Rd #324 in Brea, CA 92821to the Phisicl dramhost servers and wrench the fuse box or snip the power cables. but not all of us want to get rid of the site. hell I love FIM and This site, I just don't feel people other than the admins should decide who posts or who doesn't, let alone who browses or doesn't browse.

Ponibooru is too big to keep it clean, and policing the userbase will only hurt it more; What we need is janitors.

Ha! okay, I laughed at "wrench the fuse box or snip the power cables".

Someone mentioned a 'flagging' system a while back. You reckon that would help put atleast a little control?
(im more concerned about things like that entire collection of pin-up posters being uploaded, someone worked really hard on that).

What do you mean janitors?
troll
#534244
9 months ago
Janitos are a group of hand picked users who the Admin trusts will be fair when deciding what's good content and what is uneeded junk. Janitor's have no way to prove they are janitors (and should remain unkown to ensure people wont get in the way of their work or try to influence them), a janitor flags something and it's blocked from access, no one can see it until a mod or admin either clears it or removes it.

4chan uses this system, and the janitorial staff is surprisingly efficient for a site so big and full of junk (/b/ alone gets more traffic a day than a whole month here, and they have shit even the undernet blocks), if a dozen of guys browsing on their free time are enough tho keep that cesspool from overflowing then 40 or so here must keep us pristine and friendly.

even better if there's a "review" period where pics are not displayed on the list until cleared by the janitorial staff.

also, flagging is great if you don't want janitors, a "troll" flag that spoliers a post and blocks comment until it's either cleared or removed would work, just make sure the tresshold is high.

I actually mentioned Sweetiepoo and Scootabuse( and Futashy), because I think they present ponibooru pretty well before and after rule34.

Scootabuse was started (correct me if Im wrong) before rule34 for the sole purpose to troll bronies that couldnt stand anything that pulled them out of their safety zone. This is also when we had more frequently Scootabuse pics, as it was pretty hazardous when compared to the average upload.

Now after all the rule34 stuff and shitstorms, we get to find ourselfs with Sweetiepoo. Which is randomly funny yet, if I may say, tame when compared to whats now average. But with the "old" ways, it could had been too hazardous and that might had stopped it from ever existing nor be inspired of, if not all this stuff. Cant say for sure with this one, so all I can offer to you is "Maybe". But I can argue that Sweetiepoo is the predecessor of all the shitstorms we have had till now.

Futashy probably wouldnt exist. And Im pretty sure neither would this img.

simple, Jans can block shit but not delete it, just spoiler the image both in the thumbnail AND the image page, give it a "janitors are deciding if we should keep this, show anyway" button so people can see it it they want.

make the janitorian spoiler non-toggle, so no'one gets to see them without KNOWING its something they should not be seeing, and filter it by default just to be on the safe side

after a high enough number of them vote "not a shitpost" it gets unblocked, that way an artist can ask Shimmie to unblock it's art if blocked by mistake.

additionally, mini-bans (say, a 5 minute break) are more effective than permabans, people seem to cool off faster when they're given enough time to think but not enough time to rig a a low orbit ion cannon.
