Also, I am NOT blaming pony fans for this. Mods are ponies yes, but this is simply suggestions to avoid pissing off more people.

this do it!

> Thread outside of /co/? Tell them to gtfo
Not my job to police shit going on outside of /co/, nor is it /co/'s mod's job.

And what the hell is wrong with posting images?

I agree with the rest.

>>481

I approve.

>>485
Many of us browse other boards. If I see a pony thread on /a/, you bet I complain about it.

Posting images is fine, but like it or not, using images as "emoticons" is frowned upon. Reaction images are one thing (and also controversial) but constantly expressing your mood via pony image is not. Image boards are for discussing and sharing images, not for spamming the same macros/reactions a hundred times a day.

>>485

Not your job? That can be changed. Just choose to take it on. It's something that perhaps we will have to do in order to continue our pony fun.

As for posting images, it moves us toward the cap. The longer it takes to hit the cap, the less the risk that someone will unwittingly spam the board with ponies.

>Anthro
Porn I can agree with.
But there are lots of images that could be classified Anthro I think have merit

>3. Berate others for posting too many threads. Thread outside of /co/? Tell them to gtfo. Thread outside of the general, point them to the general.

The second part I think is right and can actually accomplish something but other then reporting threads not on /co/ there isn't shit I can do about that. It is the job of the mods/janitors of those respective boards to take care of those threads.

I get the diaper and fetish and porn. And the anthro.

But I still thought some of the pudgy Fluttershy pictures were cute and people made too big a deal out of them.

Ah well whatever I've got them saved and it's not like I don't have a billion other cute or adorable pictures to post. I approve. Especially if this gets ponies back on 4chan... then again this place is so much nicer.

4chan runs heavily on self-moderation and peer pressure. anypony who's lurked enough should know this. Newfoals feel WAY too entitled to act however the hell they want.

i like these rules and i urge you all to follow them. we dont want any of you to be banned.

>>494
mod confirmed for true brony

>>490
Merit or no merit anthro stuff draws in furries. On the internet furries always bring drama or other problems.

Secondly, having fat (or other) fetish art on a heavily trafficed space that's (supposed to be) work-safe is an open invitation to have people perceive the fanbase as a bunch of fat (or other) fetishists. And that scares away new people, which slowly strangles the creative output of the existing group as people move on to other things and are not replaced.

>>499
I understand these points entirely and just found a thread on the other chan for that stuff i found cute.

Whoever the OP for this thread was, good job.

Thanks guys. There's another anon or two from FiMchan who I took some inspiration/ideas from as well.

Perhaps the rules are a bit harshly worded, but that can be fixed. Maybe as a list of Dos and Don'ts with a side note that it's okay to self-moderate, just don't let your personal preferences get TOO much in the way.

>>499

Um... I'm a furry... =/

>>672

Me too, but you REALLY can't deny the fact that we tend to be drama magnets.

I have to say, I preferred it when people post images to go along with a post, as a bit of an emoticon.
>>501
This for instance.
It adds a flair, a touch.
Perhaps not everypony should be doing it, I certainly don't, but I hate that people think it is ban worthy.
Plus, it has been done before by others, and we the first to face rules against it.

>>673

Yeah, I guess so. =/

Fuck that, I left /co/ a month ago for the /b/ threads, they're better, way better. Occasionally I'll go back to /co/, look at a pony thread and immediately go back to /b/.
/co/ is not my home anymore.
Deal with it.

I already did 3 and i think most of the bans are reasonable, i honestly got sick of seeing three pony threads atop of each other... -_-

Don't agree with one, makes us seem to be "that" kid that got caught and now is trying to divert attention away from their self to others.

Agree with two and four.

Also lead by example, so if you are not posting a image every time you post others will do the same.
