No.13898[View All]
Hello everyone. This is the thread to make proposals. Feel free to have your say whether user or mod. We have these proposals did not pass last week, but may be worthy of further discussion:
—
Proposal: Moderator votes remain the counted votes in admin decisions, but users should let vote using strawpolls (or perhaps polling systems built into the site?) per topic to display general user attitude to a proposal. If the majority User opinion directly opposes moderator majority vote then the proposals should be discussed and votes called on again after a break of 1-2 weeks to let people rethink positions on a topic.
—
Proposal: Make this the ‘official’ Leftypol channel >>>/leftypol/534666
—
Proposal: I think that we should also keep the current userbase engaged, making things like weekly game tournaments, actual organized debates, movie nights followed by discussion and so on. I've been thinking that a weekly leftypol podcast could be a good idea, just a couple of anons talking about what happened in the board and the world during the past week and inviting people to talk if they so desire, we could have debates there, and interviews and other things, and share it on spotify for others to see.
—
Once again, I must clarify that ONLY MODS CAN ACTUALLY VOTE ON PROPOSALS OR VOTES. Anons are free to have their say and offer suggestions and feedback to improve proposals/votes but these are only advisory and user votes are not counted for official decisionmaking. But who knows, a persuasive enough argument might sway the mod team to your cause?
Please reply to this post to post proposals for consideration next week. If a user proposal seems like a good idea, we may adopt it and make it official. Thanks everyone. Feel free to post your opinions but try not to spam or needlessly bicker back and forth in order to keep the thread clear and legible. Any off-topic posts may be removed without warning.

>>20466I agree that swiss-cheesing is annoying, where theres just a bunch of replied to dead posts. Then you also get people replying to already-deleted posts. I was supposed to make the thread updater mark deleted/warned posts maybe a year ago, I will make that priority #1.
>leftypol loves taking the bait so youd just end up banning way too many peopleDo we want to be in a position where taking the bait is normal? Honest question, not rhetorical: dumb stuff can be entertaining.
If we do want that to change, is it better to try and make a cultural shift as a community rather than enforce it by moderation?
No.20510
>>20509>Do we want to be in a position where taking the bait is normal?well like i said sometimes replies to bait are somewhat informative because the bait that gets the most responses here is malicious misinformation, but most of the time its just (well deserved) variations of "fuck off retard", those can go for sure

>>20509>>20510though i guess the issue is that this means mods will have to waste time checking which orphaned posts are worth deleting and which ones arent every time they delete successful trolls

>>20527Conspiracism just glorifies the good, abstinent capitalists who drive Honda civics and spend quality time with their daughters during the hours when they aren't keeping the labor exploitation machine greased and people will call you a liberal for pointing this out, as if Conspiracy Theories aren't based on a fundamentally liberal notion of good governance that's somehow disrupted by the conspiracy.

>Conspiracy Theories aren't based on a fundamentally liberal notion of good governance LMAO the fuck are you talking about? That's not what conspiracy theories are AT ALL, read a fucking book
>people will call you a liberal for pointing this out No they call you a retard, for having no critical thinking and mindlessly eating up the lies of capitalists that have no moral qualms on siccing their CIA lapdogs on you to do medical and social experiments or seeling you bad products by having an establishment of bought out scientists tell you that its confirmed and good and look at all these peer reviews circlejerking the status quo. Conspiracy Theories are almost entirely anti-establishment and anti-capitalist.

Anyone ever notice how the wealthy control everything? Idk what’s up with that. I can’t really understand it. It’s definitely something dark and mysterious we need to uncover by listening to my podcast and subscribing to my patreon for extra content. I’m a Marxist btw.
No.20542
>>20533>>20541The conspiracy=schizo/rightwing idealism meme comes from the bourgeois co-option of people, mostly sane rational, usually leftist people questioning the official narrative of 9/11. The People questioning the official narrativw behind the Kennedy assassination were also "conspiracy theorists". The Kennedy assassination and subsequent coverup mark one of the turning points in the American people's trust in their governemnt. After this event reported levels of trust plumetted. Most normies, even boomers, know some fucky shit happened then. To imply drawing conjecture about the role of the state in mass murders is insane and deserving of shunning and ridicule as a baseline is to play into a bourgeois narrative constructed to cover up real incidents of secret conspiracy from the state, including that which has already been unconvered and even admitted to, such as with the "WMDs in Iraq" narrative.

>hypothetical situation Using snide wording does not make you any less of a retard
>a suggestion to clean up at least the grosser forms of bigotry on this site Ah so you're that retard that got BTFO on the Ukraine General and made up a bunch of horseshit about "le red fasheests and beegots" and then complained here on /meta/ only to be told off for literally making shit up.
>They would defend bigotry as "chan culture" You're shifting goalpostss and derailing in an attempt to deflect the argument being made by trying to take NOT CENSORING PEOPLE EXPOSING BLATANT PORKY MANIPULATION and equate them to RACISTS, despite you having no basis to your claim or any logical connection.
If anything YOU are more likely a glowie for trying to shut down people discussing topics freely.

>>20835I see no reason not to have a hobby archive, though maybe it should be an archive for all altboards, just to prevent having a silly amount of mostly empty archive boards
No.20840
if you like a thread why dont you just take a pic or archive it or whatever, stop asking jannies to change your diapers all the fucking time jesus
No.20843
>>20836An alt_archive is a pretty good idea actually.
>>20840 >Just take a pic Not efficient and other people like to view the content, there's a reason 4chan has had archives for a long time and even 8chan had one.
>archive itI just explained that archives are unreliable, and its easier to link to an existing thread rather than reposting a full post.
>stop asking jannies to change your diapers The fuck are you on about? How does this in any way affect you, if you don't use an archive boards, good for you, stop being a faggot.
No.20855
>>20843>How does this in any way affect youit affects me when youre asking for server resources and mod attention to be used on irrelevant shit
>archives are unreliablethis website is unreliable too, it could go down any second for no reason forever
if you want to archive a thread that much, you should do it yourself and do backups if you want it to be "reliable"
No.20862
>>20855>youre asking for server resources and mod attention to be used on irrelevant shit No this doesn't affect you, you're creating an excuse and your opinion on "irrellvant shit" is fucking laughable.
>this website is unreliable too So? The point is redundancy and making things available for people to search back to. The entire Ukraine videos thread'd be lost alongside all its content because archive.is and wayback don't archive videos at all and cannot archive pdfs from leftypol due to robots.txt
>if you want to archive a thread that much, you should do it yourself and do backups if you want it to be "reliable" that's not how it works you imbecile.

No.21157
>>13898Proposal to change the predefined ban lengths to:
Predefined Reasons:
Length - Reason
10m - Responding to obvious bait
30m - Flaming, overly disruptive/hostile posting
1h - Spamming threads with unrelated discussion, spamming the same topic repeatedly
2h - Disruptive identity politics, reactionary thought, et cetera
12h - Samefagging, building false consensus, enflaming arguments by taking both sides
1d - Hysterical, gratituitously offensive, hateful posting, edgelordism etc.
10d - Bait topic, false flag topic, /pol/ spam topic (not machine spam)
30d - Machine spam, advertising spam, gorespam, etc (not off-topic discussion)
(double original ban length) - Ban evasion
Permaban - Illegal content
Second offenses: double time
Third offenses: triple time
Fourth offenses: quadruple time (and so on)
If a user incurs a ban length of over 90 days (through repeat offenses) they may be permabanned at moderator discretion.
NOTE: Mods can still use bans/reasons outside this template whenever they want, this is just a guideline.
I vote aye.
No.21164
>>21157WTF you can get banned for responding to bait?
Stop bullying dumb people! This is an outrage!
No.21178
Am I a joyless bastard for thinking that making posts that amount to >"you're from x website" should be a slap-on-the-wrist tier bannable offence akin to responding to bait?
Even if an anon is responding to a total liberal or polyp its just the lamest form of posting; Make an actual argument, no? To me, it's one step above quoting someone and posting a soyjack. It's internet idpol and I'm tired of pretending it's not
No.21204
>>21157I'd add "offender is a namefag" double time, "known schizo" triple time
No.21280
Are there any punishments that mods are subjected to in the case that they ban people erroneously? Sometimes the bans are ridiculous. Like one incomprehensible word given for the ban justification, even though the rules should've forbidden that.
No.21281
>>21280this isn't the right thread
but potentially, yes. no one likes bad bans. however some things may sound ridiculous cause the shit we deal with is ridiculous (guessing at your meaning here).
