I'm curious as to why there there was a sudden spike in poppycockposters on the board. This thread is for addressing concerns from all sides involved.

As it stands, poppycockposts, especially those of a particularly grotesque nature, will be deleted. If it persists, the members posting them will be banned.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Because the shill thread on /b/ irritated somone.

Ah. I think I might just end up temporarily banning whoever's spamming these things. I left him with a warning and thread deletions for now.

Aside from that, I don't mind if you gents spam /b/ - in fact, I encourage it. Just give me a little warning first in case one of the children gets angry about it and resorts to poppycockposting.
>surely they must realize that /b/ consists to near-entirety of shilling and poppycockposting anyway
C'est la vie.

Your board owner? Do you have any volunteers?

What is your preferred method of receiving warnings of such things?

Because you keep spamming /b/ with ads for this /b/lite board of yours.

Just ban them as soon as they start poppycock-posting. There's no reason to believe they will come here to participate.

Hi Mr(s). Anon. Yup, I'm the board owner. I just don't like wearing the tag. No volunteers as of yet. I haven't particularly had the need for them as of yet. If you would like to volunteer your services for moderation, when things pick up, I'd be happy to give it a shot.
>>2310
Any way should be fine. When you report threads, the reports go to my admin panel where I can check them. Usually, I'll dismiss the report and edit the poppycockpost into something of nicer quality or simply delete it if it's truly in poor taste.
>>2312
Hello Mr(s). Anon. I'm glad you're voicing your concerns like a mature adult. Please see my formal response:

I'd prefer not to revert to bans immediately. Some people are immediately put off by the idea of someone advertising on their board without understanding that the advertising is being done with the best of intentions - particularly building a community of Mr(s). Anonymous members in a way that the cancer-infested boards can't. I'd feel terrible if I wrongly banned someone as a result of such a misunderstanding.

I respect that sentiment, but if someone's visceral reaction to a simple /8lounge/ ad thread is to come here and start spamming us, I don't see why we'd want that Mr(s). Anon here in the first place. If their first response is that of cancer, then cancer they are IMO.

What do you edit poor taste posts into? Just changing the vernacular to better reflect our board, or something more drastic?

 No.2323

>>2321
I usually do it just for kicks. For example, this http://8ch.net/8lounge/res/531.html#q2072 used to say "benis ddd" and this http://8ch.net/8lounge/res/1754.html said "penis" or something similar.

Well played. I really like the one you edited about "negroes".

The first just took me to tge top of the jukebox thread, but I chortled mightily at the negro one.

Do you save links to each post you edit? I have become interested in your work, and I would love to see "before/after" images.

That's strange. If you use ctrl+f, you should also be able to find the benis one. I haven't actually had to edit many posts since there were very few Mr(s). Anons who poppycockposted on the board but I think there are at least two others scattered around the older threads. Here's another one where a poster asked "Can you see the paralohos, /8lounge/? How both the board and Robin Williams are so similar? They're both dead." Edited with the help of wikipedia: http://8ch.net/8lounge/res/654.html

A couple other Mr(s). Anons kicked in and contributed posts of their own. It's never really occurred to me to save links or screenshots.

Apologies about the word filters. They still need some work.

Silly me, how did I forget the "Find In Page" tool?

I guffawed for a solid minute reading the /8lounge/ conspiracy thread, though. That was brilliant.
