This thread is dedicated to the discussion of Holla Forums moderation, both as a matter of direction and accountability for individual actions.
Apparently the last thread got inadvertently unstickied. No it was not an act of suppression.
NOTE: This thread is not for the discussion of the recent potential migration announcement. You are allowed to discuss the matter, just not in this thread.
I think it hadn't had a post in quite a while, so it slipped off the board as soon as it was unsticked. Could be wrong though: I can't seem to access the moderator action log at the moment.
Brody Russell
you're all a bunch of incompetent fucks.
Connor Baker
Ah, shit. I thought the moment it was unstickied acted as its last bump.
Brandon Garcia
How many mods does Holla Forums have, and how many of them were here from the start of the board? It's something that I've always wondered.
Jose Howard
Finally.
I think after that disastrous "let's leave this site, for I'm Moses!" thread we deserve a reassuring presence of the mods.
Are you fags the same old comrades. If so, can yous prove it?
Gavin Nguyen
rood.
Luis Fisher
it's a half-proof, tho
Eli Morgan
You've done a fantastic job of handling the downtime.
Andrew Cook
...
Brayden Perez
I got the job after applying several months ago. We had a substantial jump in posters to the 600 range and needed more mods to keep up. I don't think anyone but BO knows the full numbers though.
Jose Hill
Why not make this a general meta thread so we don't have more than one sticky about dumb bullshit?
Matthew Barnes
...
Evan Powell
Don not question the exodus as proposed by BO. That's wrongthink.
Elijah Wood
...
Ian Williams
Apparently there's around 15 people with volunteer accounts for the board, but only ~7-10 are actually active.
Same mods. We've been in talks basically all night about the various… issues of the past few days. Can't exactly prove that I'm an old mod, but as a consolation prize, here's the oldest image from my leftypol folder.
Jason Hall
STOP VIOLATING OP, YOU FAG
Dominic Wilson
I'm sold.
Julian Davis
that's not how the fuck criticism works holy shit
Evan Ross
This is not a question about that very im… kkkhg… very important thread's content per se, but about it's raison d'être, more specifically its status as STICKIED.
When will it be unstickied? When will it be let to slide? Why is it not already?
thx for answa
Oliver Brown
Yes, please put it in the trash, set the trashcan on fire, and remove all evidence of the trashcans existence.
Joseph Lee
...
Ryan Butler
Because this thread would quickly devolve into shit posting about just that issue. It was bad enough that this thread was even remade, surly you should be able to accept a few restrictions.
Jason Ortiz
Why?
Justin Edwards
The cycle feature isn't working right now, so if that discussion brings with it the type of rapid rate of response we saw in the earlier sticky, this thread will be unloadable after a few hours. You're free to make a separate thread discussing the matter, but this thread is more reserved for the usual discussion of bans, deletions, bumplocks, etc (like the old thread).
I think its just stickied while deliberation on its contents are underway. It will probably be removed in the next day or two.
Brody Adams
C-can't… spdf… we have it de… pppgfg… deliberated without that…fffffffg… very important thread without it being stickied?
srs question
Nathan Hall
Now they're back. What's going on here? I've noticed images disappearing with the "file never existed" and then returning.
Connor Mitchell
The "File never existed" image is the joke.
Leo Powell
BO STARTED MOVING IMAGES TO ANOTHER SITE
Jayden Gomez
originality
Fair enough, thanks. we did and it got bumplocked >but this thread is more reserved for the usual discussion of bans, deletions, bumplocks, etc (like the old thread). And I did that. I posted about a bumplock in this bumplock discussion thread. Also, since when was feedback limited to just those things? Those aren't the only things the mods have been doing that the userbase might have feedback regarding.
Jaxson Robinson
I have yet to have any concern what so ever.
Justin Brown
Honestly, so far it has been chill.
Holla Forums just trying to inject his >not_real_communism or >dis_is_why_communism_never_works in some threads, but it was somewhat surprisingly ignored by the community.
Aaron Hill
This. This is fine. Everything's fine
Gavin Collins
Feel free to make a new thread. BO has made it clear to the volunteer staff that she wants to permit discussion on the matter. She'll be gone until tomorrow likely though, so don't expect her to respond. Its not. Those are just examples of the standard feedback thread content.
Alexander Murphy
On that note, try to keep it to a single thread at a time. I'd rather not see the catalog get flooded.
Jonathan Gutierrez
stahp
Caleb Gonzalez
This is by far the maddest post on the topic yet. Good job namefag.
Levi Robinson
why are you guise trying to piss everybody off tonight?
Benjamin Nelson
I think they've been stuck in a chat with each other winding each other up for a few days while everyone else just saw the board restoration list and laughed at how petty it was and moved on.
Jackson Ramirez
That could explain it I guess. IRC confirmed for cancer.
Juan Reed
Can you take down the stick pin on Holla Forums leaving.
I'm staying tbh.
Andrew Miller
...
Jonathan Collins
Sure is samefaggy in here.
Jonathan Sanchez
You were caught lying once already. Your behavior is shameful and if Holla Forums is to die, its because of the mods like you and the BO. But it will just get reborn by someone more competent later.
Henry Howard
nice rulecucked board
Chase Gutierrez
it didn't have to be like this
Jayden Thompson
Fuck, I wish. The board went from an awesome font of intelligent discourse with some (1) and done shitposters who were always ignored, to this disgusting combination of Holla Forums, /r9k/ and an edgier r/socialism over the last year.
I'd start posting again if the fucking BO stopped being an inconsistent bag of shit and finally purged these reddit-tier vols, set up a strict set of rules, and got new vols that enforced said rules in a transparent manner (no hidden names in board logs, public ban messages for ALL bans, and no post deletion).
Justin Lee
I'm for this minus the strict rules
Josiah Walker
What an ironic statement, didnt you see the BO's meltdown in the sticky? Purge the reddit-tier vols? the BO is one of the biggest cases of them. Im fucking disgusted with how much of a childish "my way or the highway" meltdown the BO demonstrated, the vols were trying to keep a level headed discussion but the BO just kept screeching at everyone including codemonkey.
This board has the most anchored and bans on 8ch next to /a/. with no reason given to bans just drop like just check the hidden log of hidden mods. there's no denying its a rulecucked board. Holla Forums deserves better.
Lincoln Brooks
thx for the laughs, Holla Forums mods. :^)
Mason Fisher
The strict enforcement of rules is what allows for meaning for discussions to take place. Quite honestly, I can only fault the BO and mod team for being for to lenient and transparent in regards rules.
If anything, I think more rules should be added and the punishments for the breach of existing rules should be dramatically increased.
Xavier James
Making Mark and Imkampfy look like competent mods took a herculean effort yet here we are!
Sickening, give yourself a shotgun mouthwash.
Daniel Howard
You really are not /leftychill/ material, please return to either reddit or bunkerchan as those places are more suited to no fun allowed rulefags like yourself.
Ryder Torres
Now that you mention it, where's the link to that? The old thread had one. Can we get it back?
Joshua Moore
Yes we get lots of meaningful discussion done when threads are locked because 'things are getting out of hand' :^)
Aiden Sanders
WEW LAD
Jackson Mitchell
Such actions prevent this board just becoming Holla Forums. You should be glad that such actions take place.
As I said before, I think we could stand to be much more strict. Totally banning memes would be a good place to start.
Adam Williams
choke on a cock
Luke Powell
Fuck off, spacedick. The ideal board has minimal rules determined by the community. If the board owner and mods/volunteers can be selected from the community as well (by lottery to preserve anonymity) all the better.
Parker Lopez
Wew lad, this is an /r/socialism tier post
Mason Allen
Isn't it funny that the board moderation isn't communistic but fascist? I guess communism really doesn't work. :^)
Justin Ross
Memes do nothing but distract from worthwhile discussion. Only those that shitpost, rather then make meaningful contributions would miss them. They are a blight.
Noah Smith
I agree, tripfags belong in the gulag comarade!
Christian Scott
I wish I could write you off as just a troll but whether or not you are, there are people who are legitimately this stupid. No, the board doesn't need to have any form of levity banned. Shitposts and eceleb shit ought to be confined or even put on another board though.
Dominic Cruz
This guy is right, y'know. Just look at Holla Forums.
Nicholas Bell
No, they can show tone and what one is driving at where typing doesn't convey those adequately.
Lucas Jenkins
It's right here. In order to access it, you have to go to a board that has public logs, then change the board name url because the BO doesnt want to have any sort of transparency. Even Holla Forums doesn't hide who's doing the modding. sys.8ch.net/log.php?board=leftypol
Brandon Morris
goddamn.
Jace Lewis
Do not question the volunteers comrade, they know better than you what you want!
Andrew Davis
Just gonna throw it out there again… did the BO and/or volunteers have their accounts compromised in the hack? Do we have any way to determine this?
Carson Parker
Thanks comr8. Vols, can you maybe sticky that in the top comment like before?
Hunter Scott
Im satisfied in their services. Its the website hosts that seem to be Holla Forumsyps.
Wyatt Diaz
Unless they also all lost control of their accounts not attached to Holla Forums. I can confirm that they were not compromised.
Justin Hill
never change 8ch, you retarded cucks. ilu
Eli Bennett
Why is it so hard to believe this is the real mod team? the logs have been hidden for months. the BO is a manchild and the /vol/s are the only ones who have any competence, if the BO had any respect for Holla Forums he would hand over the keys to one of the /vol/s who's trying to steer the ship.
Grayson Johnson
Board Owners I don't want Holla Forums to go.
We were rising in popularity, and I think you're shooting yourselves in the foot.
Charles Price
It's the sudden "we gotta leave". The rest is par for the course really.
Carter Ward
If the current BO is the be replaced. Space_ is the only one that should be considered to replace him. This place would be pretty great with Space_ at the helm.
Gabriel Scott
space_ is cancer
Ryan Sanders
The we gotta leave is strictly because of the hack, and the BO having a mental breakdown over a little downtime. If Holla Forums was put in the first batch the BO would be circlejerking about it instead. It's patheticly childish, I could have easily waited a week for the board to come back to function but as soon as it does the BO decides to throw shit around like a monkey
Alexander Rivera
goddamn BO go outside or something, wew. We are now the laughing stock of Holla Forums cause of you.
Leo Morris
This is the exact sort of thing that makes people call us easily-triggered faggots.
this.
Why don't you fuck off to buttholechan if you like everything about it so much? Stop trying to make everyone and everything like your special snowflake board.
Most of the people who seem concerned about it are the vols, I think everybody else is behind a proxy atp fam.
Gavin Jackson
they arent making a big deal out of the leaks and sunshine if thats what you mean, they're soley focused on the delusional idea that codemonkey is out to get them as a threat, so they have to panic and fear monger. Barely any of the users actually agreed with them, except this bootlicker Howard. Yet the BO was insistent on forcing everyone to go along with whatever he wanted, so it's things like that that make it clear the BO should step down. The idea that codemonkey would delete the board and shoot himself in the foot by losing user traffic is beyond asinine yet thats what the BO and Vols think.
And no one trusts the BO over all of the banning for dissent that went on earlier, so proxie up.
Chase Perez
Give me one reason I should care about this board.
Nathan Hernandez
can anyone gib the original version of this image plox
Jace Clark
Don't, fuck off forever to the bunker.
Samuel Kelly
you guys gonna do something about the gurospam or what?
there's also threads jizzing all over this trainwreck, do we need those?
Austin Moore
um, excuse me, but the mods have had an emotional and psychotic breakdown you can't just, like, expect them to do their job in this state omg
Maybe they're asleep? Seem to recall the need for a night crew being dicussed.
Robert Hernandez
Nah mods have left you for bunkerchan, time to face it, they want this place dead
Kayden Bennett
...
Levi Smith
how do I apply for volunteer? this board is getting shat up
Andrew Powell
You don't. BO wants this place dead, create another board.
Cameron Barnes
proofs?
Ian Martin
MAYBE THE STICKIED 700 REPLIES THREAD I DUNNO LAD
Logan Jones
thanks for the up-to-the-minute report on your fee-fees, user, everybody really needed this important information
Andrew Campbell
nothing to complain about the mods so far. except there are few bait threads currently up that should be taken care of. just sayin.
Gabriel Peterson
Taken care of.
Matthew Sullivan
good job man
Oliver Walker
thanks
Ryan Peterson
a few of us are from /sudo/ tho who came here for the keks >>>/sudo/32518
learn to laugh @ urself nerd. your BO is an autistic cunt, what board owner isn't tbh.
Thomas Harris
okay that was pretty good
Matthew White
This was the best you could do /sudo/? Embarrassing. Reading a book is leftist now?
Carter Powell
lmao they literally couldn't find a single thing that actually made us look bad
Noah Anderson
BO is a gril ? where are the tits ? they should be sticky'd !
Kayden Taylor
That pic actually makes Holla Forums looks cool, specially the skulls tbh.
Robert Taylor
I don't understand this meme. Are we supposed to look good there?
Cooper Wood
...
Zachary Lee
wew
Jacob Gray
why admins still going soft on Holla Forums after their fiasco last week? instead of giving some fucks to them, i think mods should restore /rule34/ instead
Adrian Cook
Can someone prevent the thread cybernetics (>>1477348) from dying? It's pretty good, and it would be a shame to loose it.
James Cooper
I just want to thank the mods for helping our community. It wouldn't be the same without mods even Jim Profit was fine with.
Brody Perez
It's exactly the level of skill, knowledge of the userbase and way of interaction with the userbae that I've come to expect from the staff here. It's like the higher up you are in an e-heirarchy, the more points are shaved off your autism level.
Levi Kelly
Most of us got the joke & found it funny. The boards were restored around the same time anyway.
Ian Walker
it IS good, however cycling will kill it. I personally recreated thread on bunkerchan and I will recreate it here (if nobody else would be faster), but as I said in (and a few anons before me), leave thread "naturally" die! This approach is much better for academic discussion than news-tier cycling.
Brandon Martin
you can call me a tinfoil hat, but I'm 80% sure that BO was compromised in the hack
threatens to force leftypol exodus provokes codemonkey blabbers "they want to shut it down!" like some Alex Jones
who knows maybe hacker changed logs after getting password to leftypol
Adrian Taylor
Nope. Just asleep at the wheel. They're that incompetent and now the whole site knows because the BO couldn't keep their spaghetti contained.
Leo Thomas
More like drunk at the wheel.
Evan Young
My mental image is a woman carrying a giant pot of spaghetti and sauce in her lap in the car, getting into a car accident that's their fault, and then when the cops come to take a statement the woman (covered in spaghetti sauce and noodles) attempts to assault the cop and pull a sovereign citizen routine.
James Long
Sadly accurate analogy. This entire thing has just been confusing.
Damn Holla Forums, all you had to do was keep losing debates to Sargon of Cuckad. Why'd you go full retard?
Easton Powell
Besides the fact that has nothing to do with this, who debated him? Sargon should be easy to take on, as much as he contradicts himself.
Oliver Williams
Holla Forums may as well be one person if that one person thinks their personal feelings outweigh the rest and to shut the whole board down "force a migration". really makes you think.
Owen Anderson
I didn't realized forced migration happened. BO is not our boss, she just left her feelings get ahead of her.
David Taylor
Wanna try that again, user?
Alexander Wright
Gets the noggin joggin. The politically left board is handled by fascists :^)
Matthew Thomas
She let everyone know she was 14 years old.
Kayden White
trannies are mentally unstable so it's not a surprise that xir had a breakdown because some chink didn't put your board up first.
Bentley Cruz
BO isn't a tranny or a woman, the BO=qt grill is just a meme.
Oliver Powell
Moderation is pretty good but I would like a harder stance against explicit, unironic racism as well as banning Nazis
Brody White
Seriously, what happened to the BO? Was he on PCP or some shit, because that was embarassing.
Another thread laughing at us abloo bloo: >>>/sudo/32518
Now this is a possibility, tho I suspect such a troll would go the easy route and just fuck up the board settings. If it really is someone else impersonating the BO, kudos to him because it's a magnificent long con.
Can an admin check his old and new IP/ISP/whatever? Assuming we can even get an admin to listen to us now, I guess.
Eli Gomez
Wew it's like using a three month old playbook for trolling is retarded.
Hunter Cruz
And it just occured to me that when Sourcesimian said mod passwords were vulnerable, Holla Forums would inevitably be the most targeted one.
Benjamin Edwards
Some Holla Forumsirgins seem to think the BO banned the commie catgirl. I'm guessing he didn't sink that low, right?
Aaron Perez
I can assure you this is not the case. Rachel is a personal friend and a great content producer who has broken no rules to date.
Owen Reyes
...
Ryder Diaz
Seriously tho, can one of you who hangs out on IRC or Discord or whatever the cool admins use nowadays, please see
Asher Phillips
it is the BO, we're talking on tox which we set up several months ago and requires a different password than the mod account.
Hunter Jones
is the BO doing ok? I think the banter got a bit out of hand, BO might be a bit paranoid but it's understandable considering how we got fucked over
Lincoln Hall
Said no one ever
Parker Long
I hear the BO's doctor is a Capitalist assassin trying to stop the BO's glorious and iron-fisted rule.
Big if true.
Jackson Lopez
Can we have a cycled SYRIAN HABBEDING containment thread?
Ryan Wright
It's basically an indirect way of calling us SJWs.
Jack Allen
Permabanned for pic related. Explain yourselves pls. BO still on their period?
Juan Rivera
who cares
Josiah Brown
Post it again without your IP you faggot.
Jordan Adams
I don't care; I always browse on a VPN. But sure.
What I want to know is why I was banned and why it was a fucking perma.
Leo Russell
Anyone?
Daniel Fisher
Hello.
Henry Parker
Sorry m8, not the fella who banned you.
Nicholas Reyes
Can you look over whether the ban was justified and either keep me banned or unban me then? I don't think my post was a shitpost, or that I've been shitposting and certainly not that I deserved a perma for that.
Thanks.
Isaac Fisher
Can we ban the retards that come in just to fling shit and tell us about our board and leftism, and then refuse to listen and have little stomps around farming (You)s everywhere? Normally I just ignore them but they're ruining the cozy vibe the new Holla Forums posters that don't want to be gigantic faggots are creating. Even if it's just until this wave of new posters tails off.
Ryan Price
>The cycle feature isn't working right now, so if that discussion brings with it the type of rapid rate of response we saw in the earlier sticky, this thread will be unloadable after a few hours.
LIKE POTTERY
HE DOES IT FOR FREE
Joseph Hernandez

Yep I guess that just about summarizes my gripes with the Holla Forums administrators.
Blake Turner
requesting filter of Asserism to Asserjism
Brayden Perez
It's liberals and canada all over again. Nothing is going to happen.
Brody Moore
mods deleted that thread someone made about academics. why? that was interesting.
Benjamin Lopez
They do it for free
Carter Wilson
actually, a bunch of threads I can still see on the front page are 404 when click on them. maybe somehting else is wrong
Landon Mitchell
i'm guessing use of the tox is for the BO clique only
Camden Clark
Holla Forums is a bit unstable because of the board restoration thing. If a thread gives you 404 when it shouldn't, you can try this: >>>/sudo/33263
The log is linked at the bottom of the faq thread OP
Jayden Gonzalez
Old mod sticky had those links too.
Aaron Sullivan
Bans Doesn't ban Why would you do this?
Landon Gonzalez
When will you make a goddamn Marxism-Leninism flag?
Elijah Garcia
We;ve already got stalinstache and tankie flags
Oliver James
Then let's rename Anarchism into "Smashies".
Isaiah Hughes
Why are the rules so inconsistently and drastically applied here? It feels as though we're at the whim of the moderators, as though the same post wouldn't fly one moement to the other. There's tons and tons of bans, and its not even transparent its just people hitting the delete all posts button and ban.
I liked this board for its loose moderation style and now its just clamping down. Its unfair to the users, you've made this place less than it should be. All in the name of punishing someone for shitposting or same fagging? What a fucking joke. This board needs freedom so that its users aren't at the behest of some sort of random r socialism mod. This board should stand against the rule fags. LET UP MODS LET UP GIVE US THE FREEDOM YOU CLAIM THAT WE HAVE
Adam Hughes
Proof Howard_Scott is Space_
Stop talking about yourself in third person Space_ you massive cunt.
Jaxson Smith
Are you actually banning that discord shill or is he that resilient?
Jeremiah Clark
The catalog is full of discord spam, strong measures need to be taken. Please wordfilter discord links to CIANIGGERS.GOV
Blake Jenkins
We're banning him.
Report them when you see them.
Josiah Ortiz
Yeah, no lolocaust denial on this board.
Zachary Cox
plz god no
having 8 different flags for anarchism already proves a point, imo
Dylan Reed
Still waiting for you guys to come up with a proper alternative to being here.
Eli Myers
Are you afraid of being called out on your non-existent ideology?
If any point is proven it is the visceral anti-Communism of BO.
How long ago Maoism was called Mautism?
Brody Roberts
Daily reminder for all comrades to not sperg out against right-wing individuals who have come to discuss stuff.
Daily reminder for all comrades to DO report spam and bait.
It's better if you interact with anons with different views to better apply your knowledge as well as familiarize yourselves with common arguments. It's better than reporting, letting them get banned, and then hearing a week later about how "leftypol is such a circlejerk!!!!!!"
Wyatt Morgan
Have people been doing this or is it just a reminder? I don't think anyone even posted anything smug when Trump bombed Syria.
Landon Morris
Is it true that the BO for Holla Forums is the same BO for Holla Forums, imkampfy? Some user told me this, I want to know if it's true.
Levi Thomas
It would be hilarious if that were the case, but no. If you look at the leaked modlist, Holla Forums BO is listed among the first 3000 or so accounts made back when the site itself was still pretty new. imkampfy was in the 17000's out of the accounts made; LONG after Holla Forums BO came on the scene. BO hasn't really been involved in a lot of the boards outside of this one in any official capacity within that timeframe.
Nathaniel Ramirez
Someone over on Holla Forums found that imkampfy had two accounts. That account you are talking about is his second one but there is a non-listed one in the leaked messages under the id number 9152 (it is not in the leaked modlist). Not that that refutes your point, because it is still 6000 accounts later.
Josiah Roberts
Hi I was just wondering if Hoochie could be our new BO after the current one nukes the board.
Mason Foster
they're both gigantic faggots but they're not the same person. sadly.
Daniel Ramirez
Kek is this truly the BO? Where is xir's excellent glasses?
Eli Robinson
yes
Julian Butler
How did you find this? Did xir use their real email address like a fucking mongoloid?
Camden Brown
saw it posted here several times before it was deleted still can't confirm that it's the BO 100%
Dylan Kelly
Well I had my doubts but it was posted in this thread a few hours ago asking "Is this the leftypol BO?" and I responded to it suggesting it wasn't and it was only getting deleted because dumbfucks kept making threads with it, but then the pic and the conversation were deleted.
Christian Ross
Just use bunkerchan
Elijah Sanchez
Kill yourself Space_
Jose Mitchell
Why? :^)
Leo Bell
Have you not been to bunkerchan? I wouldn't blame you if you hadn't, nobody else has.
Blake Baker
Will you hotpockets ever do something about people who post this picture?
