It's still a posted rule of the board. If you don't want to take the chance of getting caught and having a post deleted, the simplest way is to not break it.

The rule itself is to prevent metatalk and butthurt "but I'm a victim!" self-righteous shitposting.

Trying to use a place controlled by a mod of /tg/ to complain about a mod of /tg/ was monumentally stupid on your part. Stop thinking that 4chan is a civil service. It's private property, even if they leave the doors open and let crackheads sleep on the floor. If you thought it was public property, and you had any rights other than what is granted to you as a guest, you're stupider than you look.

Why did moot make 4chan anyway? Does he make any money off of it?
The mods are really just entrusted guests of the owner as well, not the real owners of the place. And the term "guests" goes out the door if moot makes money off of 4chan traffic, then they help with his source of income, so a different word should apply for all 4chan users, simple users or mods alike.

I don't really care about 4chan politics, I'd just like some clarification on some of these matters. I'm not arguing about any of the 4chan policies here or even care since I don't go there. Just asking a bit of a question and/or debating a definition of a word in this situation.

>Does he make any money off of it?
He was $20k in debt from 4chan before he added the current ads. Dunno how he's doing now. I know he made canv.as because he needed the money and someone offered to bankroll him.

I don't know what term would be most accurate for the mods, but /tg/'s mod has said he considers himself an Inquisitor of moot.

It had the benefit of being an unofficial spin-off community from SomethingAwful. Moot put 4chan up, and then posted about it in the Anime Death Tentacle Rape Whorehouse board on the SA forums, and attracted enough of a following from that so that 4chan started with a large user base from day one. It didn't take long for it to attract non-SA users and grow into its own. It's because of that large initial injection of users that it was able to build a community without dying from lack of content like most image boards do.

So many of you may know what a shitstorm /v/ went into last weekend with the sudden overmoderation, the newfriends supporting the overmoderation by saging every single thread that wasn't strictly the discussion of a video game and yadda yadda, and people getting annoyed by the sagebombers, retaliating by sagebombing even vidya discussion, pretending to be the "rulefags".
It was an absolute shitstorm.

But in the end, moot stepped in and told the mod(s) to cut down on the moderation.

So why hasn't moot done this with /tg/ also? If he agrees that overzealous moderation is bad, why hasn't he done anything about /tg/?

Unless he has, and I've just been away from /tg/ for so long I have missed any recent events.

We haven't needed this thread in a long time. But lately 4chan cup threads have been getting deleted and now this thread was:
https://archive.foolz.us/tg/thread/23192301/
Admittedly, it's not directly on topic; it starts about shirtless adventuring and then some good arguments are made about the merits of Imperial notation (and the same ones we're all familiar with in favor of metric) and it was beginning to discuss theology when it was deleted. With minor but continuous forays into gay territory due to OP's image choice. So maybe it's not totally worth getting mad over, but still. There's moderation on /tg/ again.

That's a bad mindset. Communication only works if people are allowed to share ideas that seem ridiculous. Even if you think it's wrong, even if I think it's wrong, we have to let people say things and subject them to fair debate.

Now, let's not exaggerate. More like every week, although it wasn't particularly regular. Honestly, it's not much worse off now.

See? This is the problem. Retards like you being against the mod make me more inclined to take his side even though it was the incorrect solution to /tg/'s problems. Changing one shithole for another shithole isn't improvement.

I haven't been on /tg/ in a long time, mainly because I am here usually. Or on some thread that is actually not a "police state" As you put it.

So, quests are now getting banned from /tg/. Not all and not most though, and some folks suspect vendetta. Quest thread generals are also getting banned, and notably this started after people in those threads started commenting on the deaths of the various quest threads.

That's very ruff. Writequests are getting more and more welcome here, although whether the QMs themselves will mind our, um, ambiance is another question.

Yeah. There's a heavy focus on drawquests here still and the furries are stronk, but we always welcome new blood with open arms.
IIRC we already have a couple /tg/ refugees going here, right?

We had that King's Blade guy, but he casualed out.

Personally, I go on /tg/ all the time and I'm glad quests and quest generals are being banned. I don't hate quests or I wouldn't be here, but they sure as fuck aren't related to traditional games and, worse yet, 90% of them are crap.

90% on /tg/, that is. Only about 20% or so here, including the ones that are terrible on purpose.

Well, the main issue on 4chan is there's nowhere more appropriate for quests to go.
