No.13898[Last 50 Posts]
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.

Since it's late Thursday already, this post will be recycled next week.PROPOSAL: I propose the rules page be changed to the following rules. The intent of this is to provide clarification, remove 'unwritten rules', and remove long paragraphs, rather than change any policies.
———-Rules:
GLOBAL:0) Intentionally evading a ban will result in an immediate, long-term ban.
1) Anyone posting child pornography, child modelling or who attempts to challenge this rule (e.g. 'this is technically legal') will be permanently banned. Their information will be forwarded to relevant legal authorities.
2) Spam and malicious flooding is banned. This includes flooding a thread in protest, posting off-topic content in unrelated threads, and soyjak spam (quoting with no meaningful addition). Bot spam will result in a permanent ban. If you wish to make a post to advertise another site such as an imageboard or disc0rd server, contact the moderators for clearance.
3) Actively promoting extreme illegal activity ('fedposting') may be removed or banned at the discretion of the moderators. There are more suitable sites for doing that.
4) Pretending to be multiple users ('samefagging') in order to fake popularity or start drama will usually result in a ban. Imitating a staff member is banned.
5) Any 'shock images' (gore, extreme pornography, abuse, etc.), regardless of intention, may be removed and punished with a ban. If it's legitimately constructive to a conversation, it may stay up if hidden using the Spoiler Image button and clearly described in the post to avoid being confused for trolling.
6) Direct calls to maliciously raid other communities are banned. This includes raiding other imageboards and calls to brigade live-streamers. Leftypol is not your personal army.
BOARD RULES:These rules are enforced less rigorously on /siberia/ than they are on more 'high-quality' boards such as /leftypol/ or /edu/.
7) Reactionism and liberalism, or any other kind of non-leftist positions are not banned in itself, as we will endeavour to allow and encourage people of other political philosophies to explore leftism through /leftypol/ so long as they follow the rules contained herein. However, non-leftist users are ultimately to be considered ‘guests’ and thus will be removed if they prove a nuisance or disrupt the normal functioning of the site. Low-effort raiders will be banned.
Opening posts with liberalism or reactionary topics will be treated with far more scrutiny to prevent them filling the catalog.
8) Creating a new thread for a topic with an existing 'general' thread (e.g. creating threads about COVID-19 news, any e-celebrities, or USA mainstream politics) will be deleted or merged and will usually result in a short ban. Creating a redundant thread will be treated the same. Search the Catalog view search to find existing threads.
9) Due to derailing, COVID denialism outside the COVID-19 thread will be deleted.
10) All boards except for /siberia/ (and potentially /roulette/) are 'Safe For Work' boards. Pornography should not be posted on them without good reason, and any pornography on these boards should be hidden using the Spoiler Image option. New threads on /siberia/ with pornographic topics should have a Spoiler Image on the opening post.
11) Posts should, overall, be conductive to an informed and productive discussion. /leftypol/ is not an academic journal, but it also should not be a cesspit of back and forth bickering and pointless insults. Users should attempt to argue for the point they are presenting in an honest and open way and should be receptive to information or arguments that do, in fact, challenge their views.
12) Reactionary 'I am [ideology] AMA'-type threads are considered inherently bad faith and off-topic, and will be removed from /leftypol/.
13) /leftypol/ is committed to the ideal that the left should have an avenue for open discussion, so all ‘mainstream’ leftist ideologies will be permitted (so long as they do not violate the conditions set out in [[Article 1)]]. /leftypol/ does not adhere to a specific leftist ideology. Sectarianism is banned. This includes idpol and '[left ideology] hate' threads.
14) To ensure a basic level of quality, topics or posts will not be tolerated when contributions are not conductive to well-intentioned discussion. Therefore, posts or topics are likely to be removed at the discretion of moderation staff if they;
a) argue under false pretences ("false flagging")
e.g. "Hey fellow commies, did you prep your wife's bull today?"
b) imply reactionary or false positions of the userbase as a form of group shaming
e.g. "Why do you guys all hate white people?"
c) are of an overly derisive and mocking nature
e.g. "haha, btfo commies hitler rulez"
d) are of a gratuitously offensive or hysterical nature
e.g. "I hate fucking Mudslimes, we need to hang them all before they rape our children"
e) are debating inherently reactionary topics where no reasonable debate is possible
e.g. "In what way should be exterminate the lesser races, guys?"
f) are low effort sectarian bait rather than good faith discussion
e.g. “Tankie/Anarkiddie hate thread” or “Why does this theorist suck so much?”
g) are likely to create pointless and unconstructive arguments about ‘idpol’ (as defined in Article 1)
e.g. “Why can’t I have women as sex slaves?” or “Why are whiteoids like this?”
These examples are low quality posts that are considered, at best, bait, but are better described as spam. Any poster that violates this rule may be subject to a ban, and any post that violates this is subject to deletion at the discretion of moderators, if they feel that the topic may be an avenue for productive discussion.
META:15) Volunteers may remove other posts according to their own discretion which they feel do not contribute to the stated mission of /leftypol/, but they should try to adhere to the standards of the community and of their fellow moderators, and to refrain from arbitrary decisions. Where there is disagreement among moderators, the matter will be decided by informal consensus of currently active moderators. If there is still disagreement, the matter should be escalated to a formal vote.
16) Users have the right to question and challenge any bans or post removals, or other moderator actions, which they feel are unfair or do not live up to the spirit of the rules. This may be done in the moderation feedback threads on the various boards, on the /meta/ board, through the ban appeal feature, or in the Leftypol Matrix Congress chat, but comments should be considered and constructive, and should not devolve into polemics against the volunteers. Ultimately, the judgement of the moderation team is final.
edits made since posting:18/11: Moved 7) to board rules, added subtitle to board rules, and applied suggestions from >>14672 ———-PROPOSAL: I propose we publicly and formally reconsider (via /leftypol/ sticky) whether 'Rule 6 in the above list should remain once more staff are recruited.'
PROPOSAL: I propose we publicly and formally reconsider (via /leftypol/ sticky) the extent to which Rule 7 in the above list (currently rule 3) is enforced, due to discontent in the /meta/ moderation sticky (e.g.
>>14635 ), excessive ban lengths, user concerns with over-reach, and sterilization negatively affecting organic activity, discussion and entertainment. The rule explicitly states that reactionism and liberalism are not in themselves banned unless they are disruptive.

>>14645this makes following conversations wank
although it may be interesting to replace (you)s with a red line at the side of a post or similar, which would make it easier to track if you've been replied to without having the exact same effect as a (you). though of course that makes it more difficult to come back to a long thread where you've made a niche point and ctrl+f to see if anyone's engaged with it or not.
No.14672
>>14669 Some feedback on the Rules:
I think most of the Global rules are too harsh and should probably be mostly excluded from /siberia/ on the pretext of it being a shitposting board. Spamming and shitposting is kinda the point of an anonymous forum, and raiding 4chan is something people do in response to /pol/ raids. So isolating that to /siberia/ (and anchoring particularly provocative posts) permits people to continue to let loose but not shit up the rest of the site.
>Intentionally evading a ban will result in a permanent ban This is too nebulous: ban-evaders IP hop and often permabans end up blocking legit IPs that do nothing but harm other users, leaving the evader untouched. Moreover a sitewide ban system means that, to post a proper appeal on /meta/, you need to use Tor and on a technical basis that'd be considered ban evasion too.
>Spam and flooding is banned I think that's kind of obvious, but you should be specific about defining spam. TheThingNoticer shit is obvious crap but sometimes I or other users post different in succession because posting a single and excessively massive textwall post is annoying to other users and the poster.
>advertise a relevant site, contact the moderators for clearance. Please define advertising a "relevant site", because users link to sites as sources for arguments or news and just general discussion literally all the time. There aren't enough mods active to "clear" things for every link that gets posted, especially since the moderation kind of drops off at times. Archive.is is not infallible and cannot save some sites, neither can archive.org (robots.txt) and freezepage/Googlecache have been failing as of late.
>shock images The mods should probably provide examples of that in a document, not to mention Spoilers fail sometimes or get forgotten. I suggest that first you give a warning 5 minute ban to let a user know, and if they continue posting shock images then you can hit a longer ban.
>Calls to raid are banned Does this include agitating support for a leftist movement? Because activism is a common reason for use of this site.
>non-leftist users are ultimately to be considered ‘guests’ and thus will be removed if they prove a nuisance or disrupt the normal functioning of the site. Low-effort raiders will be banned. Excellent.
>Already a policy. Great!

I didnt have any issues with the no (you)s on bunkerchan, and with the new search feature, it generally shouldn't be a problem to find whatever post you're looking for anyway.
(you)s are a matter of convenience
No.14677
>>14672>Spamming and shitposting is kinda the point of an anonymous forumI'm going to say 'no it isn't'. It can be, but there are dozens I've used with substantial quality control and purpose. Lainchan is a well-known example.But I believe that's a valid point in this case with /siberia/. I think historically there has been issues with inconsistent moderation on /b/ where the only clue apart from experience was the name and the line (something like) "Rule enforcement is more lax in /b/". There were conflicting views by both users, other users, mods and other mods about what is allowed there.
On one hand, the site has stabilized enormously after the dividing of leftychan/b/ and leftypol/siberia/. It's fair to say there was a type of user responsible for the vast majority of prolonged /b/ edgeposting and antagonization, who
almost exclusively used /b/ (which is part of why /siberia/ was hit so much harder after the coup than /leftypol/ or any /alt/ board). And, to be frank, it's much more comfy now that they've fucked off. On the other, I also agree that some of the /b/ shitposting was fun, constructive even. The balance is in the middle, for me.
(basically: "yes")
Maybe a "The following global rules do not apply to /siberia/: " clause would be appropriate as it's global except there, adding any caveats for partial enforcement. Does that sound appropriate?
>Intentionally evading a ban will result in a permanent ban This is a good point. In fact, I just realized we can probably set a 'default' ban time of 1h (instead of blank, which results in a permaban if careless) so hurried anti-raid bans don't perma all the VPNs (and the Tor clearnet ban makes it less and less necessary). Additionally, we should prioritize this issue for making bans default to a board instead of all boards, especially since our rules endorse appeals on /meta/
>you should be specific about defining spamGood idea, maybe a list of some types of spam like "(raiding, flooding, quoting dozens of posts for a shitpost, unsolicited advertising, soyjak greentexting)". Hopefully other mods chip in with any details as I think I've seen 'spam' used to describe other things.
>Please define advertising a "relevant site"Good crit, my intent was for that to mean "visit my imageboard /leftypol/!" or "join my chatroom" threads/spam. As with all alt imageboards, we get the generic imageboards spam threads quite a bit. I should clarify that to not include organic endorsement of sites you're talking about.
>shock imagesDoesn't it list them?
>5) Any 'shock images' (gore, extreme pornography, abuse, etc.)
>Excellent. Already a policy ;)

>maybe a list of some types of spam like Yes, sounds good.
>set a 'default' ban time Good idea
>LainchanKinda Esoteric TBH. And you make a good point, that's the reason I like /siberia/ being essentially a trash dump, filtering out high-speed shitposting and bad content from /leftypol/ and the other alt boards.
>a "The following global rules do not apply to /siberia/: " clause Yes, partial enforcement sounds pretty good, kinda like 4/trash/. I feel that /siberia/ acts as an outlet for the more site-destructive tendencies of anons, letting them be less cancerous on other boards and thus help target bad faith spammers more easily.

>>14676making that part of the point actively reduces engagement. people coming into a thread to post bait is the primary part of the problem. people posting a niche point about staffing at aeroflot (or whatever) in a thread about the entirety of the USSR, less so.

>>14744>>14745I did remove it. Saying "you should rangeban reactionaries" sounds like moderation feedback rather than a proposal, because we already ban them (almost every day). Therefore, it's in the wrong /meta/ thread. This is for proposals. Are you proposing a concrete rule/policy change?
No.14748
>>14747 (cont'd)
And if it is a concrete proposal that
all reactionary posts should be banned (which indeed is explicitly not a rule, second half of rule 3), it's worth considering that /leftypol/ may not be the right place for people who are trying to post in a very restricted, 'safe' environment like chat rooms and focused subreddits. The name /leftypol/ itself gives reference to idea that this isn't meant to be as politically restrictive and sterile as other 'left wing' communities. It's a feature. So do take this into consideration in your reply.
No.14754
>>14747>because we already ban them (almost every day)no you don't. there are gaps. also rule 3 talks about people who want to explore leftism while what i see are concern trolls who drop their guise and show their true colors at the drop of a hat, as well as just openly reactionary and belligerent regulars. you should make rules more clear about bad faith stuff

whoevers the admin of this site, you really should add these lines to your
https://leftypol.org/robots.txt :
Disallow: /anime/thumb/
Disallow: /anime/src/
Disallow: /edu/src/*.pdf$
Disallow: /hobby/src/*.pdf$
Disallow: /leftypol/src/*.pdf$
Disallow: /meta/
Disallow: /music/src/*.mp3$
Disallow: /siberia/thumb/
Disallow: /siberia/src/
you can remove
Allow: / it is non-standard.
by blocking crawlers from google et al. from indexing images, pdfs and/or mp3s from these slower high-risk boards where people frequently post copyrighted material, this will significantly reduce the amount of DMCAs you get in the future. copyright troll bots regularly scour google images for this stuff.
https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20170223/06160336772/google-report-9995-percent-dmca-takedown-notices-are-bot-generated-bullshit-buckshot.shtmlyes, not only should direct links to pdfs be blocked in /edu/ but /hobby/ too, lots of copyrighted books found there:
https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aleftypol.org%2Fhobby+pdf/leftypol/ too because of the Reading General thread.
/meta/ as a whole should not be indexed by search engines as it is meant for internal communications/complaints, no reason to publicly broadcast it to the world wide web. just from people posting certain keywords like "DMCA" and "child porn spam" and having that indexed for a long time on google et al. could get you unwanted attention or demoted in search engine rankings.

>>14876Just one problem, this makes it harder to archive stuff, pdfs only save properly on wayback archive and it doesn't run on sites using robots.txt Blocking google crawlers also means this site gets less exposure and so people using the browser (a large majority of the population) are going to be filtered from this site.

>>14879We can probably allow-list the archive.org bot, not sure what the archive.today (et al.) bot is.
>Blocking google crawlers also means this site gets less exposureThe impact would be small, as it's mostly blocking just images, .mp3s and .pdfs, not the site text. That would mainly affect google images results and people finding .pdfs.
I have some doubts about the need to block anything on /siberia/ as they aren't absolutely filled with commercial copyrighted property likely to get trolled. Worse case, we remove the infringing content.
I think for the .pdfs, it might be better to risk having them up until we start getting hit, since they're a useful resource that may bring people to the site. Does that sound foolish?
I fully agree with /meta/; we have an internal search feature and /meta/ is next-to-useless for public searches. Same with /music/ and anime images, too high-risk for very little reward.

(I don't really believe in this argument being important since it's an open format that doesn't really support them by using it. And we already use WebM lmao)I think I should do some user polling to see what exactly doesn't work for people. My guess is it will only wreck Windows Photo Viewer and Photoshop with maybe one or two niche editors.

No.15822
there should be a temporary bump-lock on threads since a lot of people don't realize saging is basic BBS etiquette
like a thread could be auto-saged for the first 5-10 minutes after the last bump, or if it's on page 1 or 2. or a combination of both, like a time period after it leaves a certain threshold of pages (i.e. 10 minutes after it leaves page 3)

>>15822most people look at the top threads to see what has recently been replied to. this would mean that whichever threads got to page 1 or 2 would end up staying there until someone ventures lower on the list. it would give more power to decide the front page to people who read farther down but would also probably increase the post rate of whichever threads end up near the top. it would probably have the opposite of the (presumed) intended effect of spreading out the posts over more threads

This is one of the reasons which have led caused several anons on /meta/ to keep writing "delete /siberia/" for the last months, as they are either in full or partial agreement with the following sentiment.
>>15444Delete /siberia/.The porn is one of the lesser problems with the board. The main problem is that it's a concession to the reactionary memetic hegemony of 4chan/b/ and effectively makes it so that /siberia/ has become a camp site / breeding ground for reactionary anons subverting our discussions. Only snakes have benefited from the creation of /siberia/ and it's literally not a coincidence that we've seen a corresponding decline in quality with its addition.

Many people use the overboard btw. Reposting my suggestions below:
A new vision for siberia:
- no porn nor lewds (unless user made)
- no braindead threads (no soyjak threads, no retarded OPs, etc.)
- no threads of exclusively namefag drama.
- no reactionary shit, even if ironic. I am looking at you, shay, and sabinyak, possibly junko too. Stop posting reactionary shit even if "joking".
- no pedo-jacketing
- no idpol
- especially no trans idpol. That includes the suspiciously well researched transphobe posting about why trans are bad because of some random research paper. If you're going to post about trans seriously ONLY good vibes. Capitalism is shit enough and nobody wants to hear you spew hateful drivel.
NO R9k SHIT section:- no r9k shit.
- no incel shit.
- no "why are women like this" threads
- no generalizing women
- no "tfw no gf" threads
- no anti sex threads
- no pro sex threads
- no "I want to commit suicide" or "I am depressed" threads.
- no virgin threads
- no "e-thot" threads, either simping or hating
- no misogyny
- no no-fap, or fap threads in general

>>16448every website is built on a dopamine circuit, the trick for leftypol is to find a way to rig a better circuit.
the underlying problem with /siberia/, like with everything else, is a muddled rationale for each spinoff board. people want, or don't want, a board for 'x', but the discussion always begins and ends there - we never ask why we're making a board from 'x' in a wider sense: is it a board for /leftypol/ users to discuss 'x' or is it a board to attract people interested in 'x' to /leftypol/, or is there some other rationale?
chopping and changing boards isn't going to achieve anything without having a clear picture of what the actual aim is.
>>16454reddit and twitter have a completely different site and posting structure to imageboards. there's nothing particularly special about being able to post about how you're le based nazi who hates le transmissions because you're too cool for school.

The mods would never to support it as it would create 10x more work for them and they are barely managing as it is. Especially on /siberia/ which only about four of the jannies are willing to moderate.
The users aren't going to support it either as most /siberia/ anons are guilty of posting one of the things you've listed at some point.
The closest thing to what you're looking for is twitter - which has an army of paid mods to delete "problematic" content - and reddit - which has an army of NEET powermods to do the same. Twitter and reddit also have more progressive cultures, where edgy shit is usually downvoted or ratio'd.

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.

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)

Why did the recruitment thread go on /leftypol/? Because it has wide visibility to the main people affected. /meta/ makes sense to me for long-term threads, like for banners and flag suggestions (which would quickly die on a pacy board like /leftypol/) and casual discussion the direction of the site like

The second point (not using Matrix) I don't support, because:
- there are ultimately sensitive matters like IP addresses and server details that necessitate non-public chat
- notifications and other desktop integration are extremely useful
- a chat room supplies redundancy that is necessary if the site is down
- chat programs is far more convenient for these matters, and knowing who is online is important in moderation. Even IRC is preferable to an imageboard for moderation.
However the Congress chat should be emphasized as a medium where users can read and interact with decisions without it getting derailed with junk.

PROPOSAL 2: Staff should be banned from posting about moderation or board matters without a capcode.This is a reasonable expectation, even if it is an inconvenience to log in. Mods are privileged users, and that should be disclosed in relevant situations.

>>21890>PROPOSAL 1: Move the moderation feedback thread (still site-wide) to /leftypol/, instead of /meta/.
>It's a weird one, but I think this is the right choice.>Why did the recruitment thread go on /leftypol/? Because it has wide visibility to the main people affected.Good post.
However I disagree with putting it in a /leftypol/ sticky for that exact reason. I believe most people do not care about meta issues and the people that spend the most time posting in the mod feedback form, are not acting in good faith as some are but are one of the few people that make posts over and over whining and trying to start drama for attention and validation.
I also do not feel that interacting with mod staff is an integral part of the experience posting on leftypol and I feel that it should be occupying board real estate for posters.
Additionally I believe that the front page of leftypol should be kept tidy and smooth with as few stickies as possible.
In my own experience when I use an imageboard it bothers me to see a frontpage with a bunch of stickies interfering with my ability to see a number of threads when I click on a link and visit a place.
I feel that meta is a more appropriate place to hold the mod feedback thread for those that wish to access it, it is organized specifically for site feedback and is available to those who want to use it when they want to use it while not interfering with site browsing and posting othwerwise.

>>21890there's a mod feedback thread on /leftypol/
seriously it's right there
No.21969
>>21890I agree with both of these ideas more or less, I always thought moving mod feedback off leftypol was a mistake, however, there needs to be more clarity on what exactly mods are not allowed to say without mod tags on. For example: are mods not allowed to say like 'I think x on leftypol is pretty good' in a general non official thread? That might be going too far.
No.21972
>>21969I don't really understand the first proposal as we already have a moderation feedback thread stickied on /leftypol/
>>>/leftypol/742065 unless you mean removing any feedback thread on /meta/ and redirect everything to the /leftypol/ one. However that would be quite a mistake because where, then, would someone banned on /leftypol/ could appeal and complain about the moderation? It would encourage people to break the rules and ban evade which is idiotic.
For the 2nd proposal like caballo said
>>21969 what exactly would be considered 'banned speech" needs to be clarified.
No.21973
>>21972>banned speechlol
I'd simply say such a rule is unenforceable.
Fundamentally here's my problem: I don't know how someone with political education could come up with that. Might as well say mods need to say three Hail Marys after any action.
