your move julias.

But to actually respond to this, I was considering letting a v-tuber thread stick around, but it would have been contingent on homeless snail ik'ing the thread himself, and he had been ignoring my attempts to contact him yesterday about it.

Those threads were NOT off to a good start. I think we can have a v-tuber thread in the future, but it's not going to be whatever homeless snail was making, and I personally think that there should be a little more time to let the forums take a rest from them. If it does come back at some point, it's going to be a lot more heavily regulated.

I'll be honest I didn't know if it was going to be a gag or sincere. I didn't feel the need to tap the rules to point out "v-tuber threads are not allowed" because you are all adults who can read and have been here a while. And like I said in the previous post, I was amicable to the idea of a new thread if I thought the thread was good. Those threads were not good.

the thread had like ten posts in it and none of them were truly bad, as opposed to many, many, many, many unmoderated posts from the previous threads that were literally people going in there to stir poo poo

what is the amount of time, julias? the people who boiled their piss over it aren't in the habit of NOT boiling their piss over things

ok glad we just get to have the chat thread continue existing, as the unofficial vtuber thread, where people dump vtuber posts constantly, because i guess the problem is having a thread calling itself the vtuber thread specifically

I'm pretty sure it still is. Snail ate a probe for taking their bit to the logical conclusion.

Edit: \/ really, that. Nobody has been creepy about it in the chat thread that I've noticed but it really should be a thread or nothing.

Seems like there should either be a thread or vtuber chat is banned completely and I don't really care which at this point.

Don't really see the point of 'you can talk about them random threads but not have an actual place to talk about them'.

Well unless the point is just to not attract the attention of QCS posters I guess.

a hard ban would be more coherent, esp since afaik most people just talk about them elsewhere now and all that's here is a few people intentionally or obliviously needling the regulars into getting mad about the content of the barely-active chat thread yet again

Over the last few months, people have been having the exact same conversations here they would be having in the vtuber thread: we've seen clip-sharing, news-sharing, and extended discussion, all on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis. I'm not sure what a dedicated thread would change aside from increasing the volume of discussion and moving it somewhere where it won't annoy people who aren't interested. Admittedly, the former would increase the moderation load, so I don't blame Julias for making the thread's existence contingent on someone being willing to IK it. But the current situation is annoying for everyone.

the people that come in and insist on dropping links to clips without context are mostly the people that were the worst vtuber thread posters

it was a really small amount of people in the thread that posted real bad with most of the worst of it either coming from people running in to stir poo poo and then people naively falling for blatant baits

there was nothing actually wrong with snail's thread(s) other than an op that didnt go on for pages explaining the concept of a vtuber

a hard ban is insane. it is nonsense to declare that a certain type of streamer can't be talked about at all just because they do it through moving anime heads and a narrow band of people can't just be loving normal about it. just threadban those people

Vtubers and the chat thread are like cheescake and sausage gravy, they're great but probably shouldn't be mixed. Also a hard ban on Vtuber talk seems like overkill.

new vtuber thread but it has an IK that institutes a reign of terror, causing everyone to double check that the content they post couldn't possibly be construed as horny, lest they be unable to post about Pomu for several hours (the most horrible punishment)

As just a casual observer, I think it's neat how Vtuber threads have a 'shoot on sight' bounty attached to them. It says a lot about how much better SA has gotten or how much people love to poo poo on things, because I always assumed GBS and D&D were the real hives of scum and villainy but no, it turns out it the Vtuber threads are the worst things to happen on here since Helldumping stopped.

I don't think any vtuber thread posters killed anyone or shot someone's toe off and gloated about it so they're by default better than d&d

I am but a humble poster but it seems obvious to me that if vtubers attract weird and creepy posts but are themselves just streamers with anime stylings, the solution is to allow a thread and then ban anyone who posts in a creepy way in it
