/loli/ - Lolis

I report the more obvious cheeze pizzas to the global mods. That seems to have had an effect.

And yes, the spam is tiring.

>>36788

Global report alongside regular isn't a bad solution, though I've noticed lately a lot of the spam is just links with no attached cp being used to shit up existing threads.

>>36786

>how do I become a janitor

you need to live in your moms basement and like cuckold porn

>>36809

are you sure I can't do it by just eating enough hotpockets?

What happened to the idea of requiring capchas before being able to start a thread?

according to the report form "This form must no longer be used for botspam. We have no better tools to handle it than board owners do. Encorage board owner to enable antispam settings up to and including CAPTCHA if simple IP bans do not work."

So I guess they don't do anything about it and it's up to the local mods.

>>36834

You still report for CP; you just don't report for non-CP botspam.

>>36835

That makes sense.

>>36786

Yes, can we please get a few more moderators for this board?

>>36919

thank you for posting that

I had this exact problem yesterday

Speaking of meta, it sure would be nice if the board wasn't so infested by western shit. Unteralterbach I can deal with, but not when half the the front page is even worse western garbage. And two thirds of the remaining threads on the front page are usually CP faggotry, and then there's the retarded "hurr guys loli is totally the same as 3D pedophilia" thread.

Why the fuck is western loli so damn popular here anyway? It's very poorly drawn in most cases.

>>37023

long-time lolicon here, I think I can answer this.

I've seen a lot of loli communities come and go, and one thing that they almost all have in common is most (definitely not all) of the people there fall under the classification of people who are using 2D as a surrogate for 3D because of either legal convenience or disgust with themselves at the idea of going for the real thing. because of this, they partake in eastern and western loli fairly indiscriminately, even often enough CG. If this weren't true and no one here cared about 3D, I doubt that spammer would get enough hits to keep coming back here so persistently, unless it's purely out of spite.

I also avoid most western art like the plague (UAB is a notable exception for several reasons), but especially here on this board there's a divide between people like I described above and people who are primarily from /a/ or just otaku in general (I would consider myself like that, just with an unusually strong focus on lolicon).

tl;dr: *most* people who like western are people who were not brought into lolicon because of /a/-like culture, but because of seeking out a safe means to sexually fantasize

>>37023

I am here primarily for eastern style artwork.

What I am trying to do to improve the situation is to start (and encourage) artwork dump threads.

I haven't been doing a lot, so the effect isn't very noticeable, but it's there.

>>37032

I think the reason why so few people dump images is because 8chan is a nearly-broken piece of shit that's painful to upload things on.

>>37035

Yes, that's part of the reason, at least.

Board-owner-sama, can you tell us what's required to become a janitor on /loli/?

goddammit BO either make more vols or do something about the spam, it's getting to where half the front page is spam threads or posts sometimes

I'm really sorry you're butthurt anon, but the cultural starting points for eastern and western loli are objectively different. Loli has been banned and labelled in so many western circles of artists that the only people left to draw it are almost all people who draw it exclusively. This is absolutely not the case in Japan, where there are loli artists who openly promote their work alongside their main professions. How many well-established, professional artists are there in the west drawing loli?

Let's further look at the fact that most art from anywhere is trash. People here don't see most of the shitty eastern art because it's buried away in all-nip parts of the web, or in the case of manga no one bothers scanning or translating it. Western on the other hand has no such filter, and most people's exposure to western drawn porn is from places like deviantart or wwoec where there's basically no filter on quality.

Also, variety isn't necessarily good or bad, and most of the cookie-cutter aspects of modern eastern-style faces is based on the tried-and-true practice of making faces with as much neoteny as possible. Large eyes and unemphasized noses are child-like features, deal with it.

Censorship in art though I'm not going to make any excuses for, it's pathetic they haven't done away with that just because no one wants to be the politician that pushed for it.

Hi, I'm basically a professional artist (at least if you go by a generous definition of the word) chiming in here. I strongly doubt a professional artist anywhere in the world could advertise work on loli content and still get as much work as he would have been if he didn't. Even though Japan hasn't outlawed loli, and there's more acceptance for it, it doesn't mean that there is still heavy dislike for the subject. There's a reason there are laws to outlaw and censor loli content popping up every few years, because it's usually a popular move with the general public.

Now, in regards to your comments about the spread of art I really do not really understand why you wouldn't want western artists' work posted and promoted here. Sure, there isn't a filter for most of the content, but if you don't like what a thread is for, just hide it. I currently have nearly a dozen threads hidden on the front page alone, although a good chunk of them is spam.

Restricting and limiting where people would be allowed to post their work and get critique and praise is very counter-productive to keeping new loli artists in business. Even if they're no good now, it might be that they'll evolve into a new Born-to-die, Polyle, or Norasuko after a few years of practice and learning.

And if you absolutely hate western shit, go start a board exclusively for jap-lolis. Might turn out well, might not.

>I strongly doubt a professional artist anywhere in the world could advertise work on loli content and still get as much work as he would have been if he didn't.

Then you don't know how the otaku industry in Japan works. Nearly all the money from things like anime adaptations comes from a small group of hardcores buying in for expensive BDs and merch. These are people who are also the primary consumers of self-published fanworks (obviously, including the R-18 ones).

My entire post had nothing to do with saying western loli should or shouldn't be posted here, I only laid out the reasons why eastern elistism exists and will continue to exist. I actually like the work you put into the drawthreads and think it's a valid contribution to the board, for the record.

>>37624

Also, just to throw an example out so you don't think I'm full of shit, let's look at Haga Yui, who before, during and after the publication and eventual adaptation of Lotte no Omocha, was publishing original and parody loli porn.

You can see most of it http://exhentai.org/?f_search=artist%3Ahaga_yui+lolicon&f_apply=Apply+Filter here, but the point is a ton of mangakas who eventually produced a successful original series got their start publishing porn; a lot of others didn't stop afterwards.
