/co/'s allowed to post comic links in preexisting threads, just not make threads dedicated to requests. I don' see why /tg/ should have different rules..

>>999
The only reason /co/ gets a pass is that the mods already told them for some reason that it's OK to post comics, and when janitors started deleting them /co/ utterly rioted until moot came down from the heavens and gave them back their free comics. It's too late to go back on it, etc... doesn't mean posting illegal materials on other boards should be okay.

>>1000

/co/ gets to post comics links because the comic industry has gone on record they aren't going to use legal action against people who share comics online. this is obviously different with the /mu/ and the RIAA and such. I'm going to assume that book publishers like to use lawyers on people, and that is the reason why books aren't allowed on /tg/.

>>1001
so should we start letting requests for comics in /r/ stay? i've been deleting requests and banrequesting anyone who posts links to comics.

>>1002

No. The policy is only in place in /co/ and requests aren't allowed at all for licensed materials. users are only allowed to post them if they have it.

if you think it's getting out of hand, i would banrequest the next one you see and then report the one immediately after. if you see that fancy "1 banrequest already submitted for this IP" then you'll know it's one guy and can delete the posts until the banrequest goes through.

Abuse of the reports system is bannable. That said, flooding a thread with unrelated pictures is both annoying and bannable.

if you see people reporting things over and over that are obviously not against the rules then please let a mod know

Over the last week or so, there have been a massive influx of posts and requests for hentai of the series Lucky Star. These threads are always filled with loli. I'm not sure if it's the same person or what, because they always seem to start with the same image, and most of the same pics in each thread. I've been deleting and reporting, but they pop back up within a few hours. Suggestions, anyone?

Hey, since lucky star has been popular, people have been posting a lot of loli images of characters from it in /e/. Can we get a sticky to clarify the fact that if it looks loli, it is loli?

>>987
Same problem with /h/, though not as rampant as in /e/.

>>987
Ditto for /r/. It's not a major problem, but it gets requested at least once a day. Usually twice.

in addition, these threads (like this one just did) can turn into flamewars between the ZOMG JUST GIMMIE A INVITE and the "this shouldn't be allowed" camps.

I've fulfilled a couple of these requests in the past, but I'd delete them the second they turn into flamewars.

Also, when will people learn to set up a spare email account for junk? It's just common sense!

as long as the E-mail field is on every page, posting e-mail addresses should never be a reason to delete posts unless they are obvious calls to invasion. if people are too stupid to use yahoo or spambox or the multitude of free services out there and post their real e-mail on 4chan, they can't really complain about anything.

also i see it as a legitimate request. most of the time the invites are for private torrent trackers like Demonoid and if we start killing them from /r/ they'll just go to /t/ and they'll still get deleted. so i'm with >>985 on this. let them be as long as they stay civil, but delete the second it turns flamey.

>> v/ has problems :(

Yes. Yes it does.

I leave the Pokemon stuff alone usually. As long as there's not porn it's on topic. The WHY I AM SO BALD shit has got to go. It's not at all /v/ related.

I'm not sure more janitors would really fix anything. We can't prevent the shitty posts, and even if we have 30 janitors there will be times no one is on and posts that we miss.

I know how you feel. there have been times when I've woken up, logged on and seen dozens of flagged posts (often over 20 or so) that have been unattended to for hours. And, again, like yourself, I seem to be the only one willing to actually go through the board and make sure nothing remains.

I don't think its a problem of hiring more janitors or promoting more mods. I think its simply a case of getting the people we already have to do more.

I've actually been without DSL due to a linefault for a week :\ But even when I'm on regularly, there's just so much crap on /v/ it's silly. Generally speaking, the average /v/tard thinks (knows) they'll get away with whatever they want.

>>978
I dunno about /v/, but /h/ is certainly capable of generating 10-15 reports over the space of a mere hour. It's a lot to handle. And there will be a lot of times where simply no one is available to handle them.

Delete racist comments. ask for ban requests for blatant repeated offenses. You'll know because the asshole will post five minutes later going "FUCK YOU MODS/JANITORS. I R RACIST & U R FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGS."

Have coda autoban him.

you should...
reason being it is a blatent request
no one answers them because its a big waste of space
if they return to spam it... please engage a ban request for spamming X number of times for request for help with homework

>>948
sorry, forgot to mention this was on /r/
Blatant requests are what we do :)

Typically I'd say use the board alert feature when there is a flood or something unmanageable on the board.

here are the things I said in the janitor channel

most of you will probably not going to be promoted, but we are trying to improve your tools.

Remember that the entire point of the janitor program is having people around to DELETE stuff, not pseudo-mod or be users with special privileges

The only thing I can do now is let you know that the tools are being upgraded and I have started yelling at all the other mods to be in #janiteam all the time.

>>936
Right. I delete stuff all the time, I have no problem with that, I understand that's my job.
I'm not complaining about that at all.
I'm complaining about things where the only reason we have to delete it at all is because the ban requests are not getting answered, where we have already escalated it to the point of ban requesting. There's nothing we can do at that point but sit there deleting their reposts and hoping the moderators wake up.
Suggestion #2 (give janitors more powers) was just intended as an alternate solution to the "ban requests are not getting handled" problem.
The problem is not that janitors don't have enough power, it's that people who need bans are not getting them. I don't care how that problem is solved, it just needs to be solved.

>>937
I agree with that. On my board, there's a troll who basically bashes everything and goes against at least two of the global/board rules in a post. (Generally mixing /b/tardism rules and 'strong opinion tossing' rules) I'm not sure how easy or hard it is to ban him (proxies and all that), but I think I've asked for a ban on him before and he's definitely a repeat offender.

Sometimes every post he makes in a thread has to be deleted because of "kike hate" or claims that one side or the other are "christfags" or "niggerlovers" or some such.

What are you talking about Anonymous? I enjoy playing ban request and delete. Can't keep 4chan clean all the time.
What would be nice... is a better way to view the entire board, like a janitor view. Like today, almost 100ish posts with "DESUx70" and "GO BACK TO BED HAL". No problems manually deleting, but mass deletion wouldn't be so bad I think. /a/ is hit pretty hard with the wave of shit. Hope these new tools you speak of don't suck.

>>939
possibly check boxes within each thread and mass delete at the top where the OP is?
