I don't care if someone says I'm bitching or whining,the trolls on this site are pissing me and everyone the fuck off. As soon as alaron gets my message about all the trolls that have been running around here,you really should ban them,because they're making this site terrible when some people just want to upload and view pics without them being spammed and flamed by trolls.

That is the problem though, they don't. Unless we report them, basically doing their job for them; they won't do squat.

You seem to live on this site so i don't see this as an issue. I already said that the majority of Anon comments are NOT trolling so if YOU have a problem with the trolls then report them.

davehytmen said:
Hell Neither one of them even uploads anything...

Booru's are User Content Generated websites. Do you understand what this means? >USER<

If it would be called Admin Content Generated i would agree with this statement.

We listed ideas on maybe cutting down the random comments from non-members by only allowing signed in members to post comments.
We suggested a better security system.
Basically we want better security on Xbooru from anonymous Trolls.
Yours & Slayer's answer was NO!
Your not stopping any non-members from commenting because it'll cut the traffic.
Bottom line you chose the Trolls over the members.

Again for the 3th time, the amount of troll posts are very small compared to the total amount of anon comments. I will not disable whole anon commenting for this.

You don't remember all the time the admins spent resetting the tags ?

Huh?

Lol What? the guy replied 2 hours after the last comment. You sound mad, are you? This topic is long from dead, i bet we can pull off at least 10 pages!

We're not choosing anyone over anyone. We're just letting EVERYONE use the site.

I don't even know what you people want. I think you're just complaining about trolls all the time, not even knowing why you do it... You should have realized by now that whining about trolls is not gonna get you anywhere.

Offending moderators/administrators/owner won't get you anywhere either.

alaron said:
Sigh.

K. New rule. Any and all harassment towards the administrators or owners of this website will be taken as a bannable offense. From now on a ban will be issued to whoever even as much as makes an "implication" of the infamous "5-year-old owners and admin" comment. There will be no warning or message displaying the ban. A ban to current IP and any other IP the user has used on the website.

Time to wave some guns around. People don't seem to get otherwise.

Alaron,
Xbooru Admin

Both Dave and oGtRaMmAsTeR420 are really close to reaching the point where I can no longer stand them on this website.

I really don't understand your mindset in the slightest,all I've ever done is contribute to this site and try to give some ideas to improve,like others,you ignore them all and slayerduck trolls people. No ones opinion is ever right to you,and when someone tries to speak their mind you threaten to ban them,just give people's ideas a chance and don't ban people for no reason,I've been a regular on this site for a year and upload regularly.

You guys wanted anons go. We clearly stated that this will not happen. What else do you want? In SEVERAL posts on this topic alone it was said that Anons will stay. I have also said it numerous times before.

I'm not choosing anons over users. If we make it so that only Anons can see the website ...Then you can say that we're choosing anons over users.

We're not choosing anyone. We're (Slayerduck to be precise) are hosting these websites for your enjoyment. You don't pay anything to view the content on this website or any other of our websites. If you're not happy then by all means - go find another website to upload images to. But keep in mind that other websites are not entirely user generated like this one. So you'll see regular syncs and no one will actually give you credit to uploading anything. No one tied you to this site, you're free to leave if you're so unhappy.

After so many "requests" (to call it kindly) for anon removal, and the repeated denial of said thing you, for some odd reason, still not give up on the idea. How can I put it more bluntly for you?

Anons will stay. Period. That is all. The end. Finito. Can't make it any more clear.

oGtRaMmAsTeR420, I don't care if you're a regular or not. If you continue to flame Anons in the comments you'll eventually get banned. Another mention of "admins/owner being 5-year-olds" by either of you (oGtRaMmAsTeR420 or Dave) will get you banned.

There are rules. Being a regular doesn't exclude you from the rules. If you break them you'll get banned. And keep in mind that I've already closed my eyes for a whole bunch of things. Any other website would insta-ban you the moment you even IMPLY something towards the Owners/Admins of said website.

Any other suggestions past the removal of Anons in this thread? I haven't seen any.

Alaron & Slayerduck: I do not think you understand;

Let me be perfectly blunt, I am not "Flaming" or Insulting the Admin/Mods here. I don't believe you understand that we do not understand, some users here will go with whatever you have to say. Some of us would like examples of why things are like they are such as Anons, that is all; explaining is better then shutting down someones voice.

Now you've mentioned Traffic for the Booru, that is fine. I know what it is like, I have a booru of my own if you remember correctly. Except I don't allow non-registered users to upload/comment or post in threads on mine, the Traffic in my Booru is still doing quite well even without the anons. That is all I'll say, I just don't believe you are explaining this well enough for people to get the point. At most you sound like you are insulting the members here because they do not understand, now that isn't a good way to keep Traffic on the site.

well someone is taking care of their booru and no one isn't doing the work around here. people arguements the same damn shit and security system will never protect us from any non member or user too. so....they fight, they hate, they never listening either but they make sense in every sentence.

That's exactly what i suggested here before this turned into an argument.
I agree with alaron as it seems davehytmen's booru is more suitable in regards to reducing the random Troll population.
That's all we're asking for.

I am unable to say "no" in so many different ways. Sorry.

Slayerduck explained it. You got your explanation. I have no clue what you all want past that.

The number of visitors is not even comparable, we can't talk about consistent traffic or ad revenue on a freely generated website with almost no visits and a site as big as Xbooru.

I wouldn't know how to explain it any better.

Alaron, slayerduck, banning anyone now would be stupid. Either ban-hammer straight away or ignore until obviously malicious behaviour is exhibited.

When the complainers try to find logical flaws in your texts You know they're trolling - whether they themselves are aware of it or not. Don't let them pull You in, they'll beat you with determination and experience.

it's a stupid comment

you think i'm not that smart, but i do know what is going on this site. look! if you want to rid of non member then be my guest! i hope they will find a better site than this one here. all we need a better admin. just saying

alaron

So now I'm a bad admin. Fine. Willing to step down if someone takes over. But then again Slayerduck is the one to make that call. Not me, or you.

i didn't said you a bad admin, i just think that we need something on this site very important to us or anyone. if the user have a good idea to make this site better then we don't have to worry about it. am i smart? or stupid?
