>>42>because the BO doesn't want to lose its ownersBy owners I meant users. Sorry for the inconvenience. Not a native in English.
>I was not interested in creating a board with free speech but rather a board without harassment towards transwomen. Also not really meant for discussion, just so that when 8chan goes down and transwomen browsing chans look for another place they can find something.If you are not interested in creating a board with truly free speech then you should restrict the content you don't want your board to have. And before enforcing your unwritten rules, you should let other anons know what is not okay to post. The more transparent you are, the more trust you will gain as a BO.
I assume that you are still quite new, so to make board better for everybody, you should make a sticky and or locked post with the rules you want to be enforced. Just to name a few to give an example:
1. No shitposting or post with no content or serious discussion. This includes one sentence insult posts.
2. No bullying, bullying is never cool.
3. Even if you disagree, please be respectful of other posters.
This way you can give rational and logical reasons why a person was banned or his/her post was removed. The way you have been handling things for the past 2 hours have been problematic and caused even more unnecessary friction with those who posted here, just because you disagreed with them or thought they were mean. I mean how would they know that what they posted and said was wrong when there was no rules given?
>I can see that some people would say that if I ban people for hating on transwomen then I am violating their right to free speech. I would say that freedom of speech is important but there are also other important things, like having a place where you can talk without being harassed.First of all, there is not a single place on the Internet without hate or for that matter trolls whom flame. However, how do you deal with this troll when he starts to get more elaborate with his hate? Instead of using simple and short insults, he starts to use facts and informative analyses to give a reason to hate mate to female (or trannies? Just to put it out there, because you will find yourself in situation like this
or the same kind of discussion with you and me but with a different subject. Now when it comes to harrassing, well I have hard time to give consulting about this because, what kind of harrassing is it? I mean you can always ignore the post which is the most effective way to stop. Not giving any attention and reaction is the best way to react.
debatable statement You get the point.
>Endchan sounds like a great place but if shitposting like what people did here is common then it is not a good place for /mtf/, sadly.Endchan is a great place but to make it even better, you have to be one confident BO with clear and simple moderation line which everybody can understand and adapt to. Shitposting may or may not appear, it of course depends on the subject. Controversial subject as trannies awakens hate on anons which will then lead to flaming and shitposting. Even I shitposted to your board but after I saw that I didn't to evolve this board or make it more interesting I started to make these fucking walls of text to guide you fags to that you don't bring any of that 8ch type of BO here.
I also would like you to mind, what ever you do here and post, will be seen by other for many years to come. That is why I always try to make my utmost quality post in case of lurkers for many years to come.
>>44>you are not the target demographic for this site if that is the case. Implying we only shitpost in this site.
Just to be honest, is there something wrong wanting a hugbox? I mean hugging for example a girl is very comfy. But yeah, I think BO made a many mistakes similar to this hotdog. Forcing things will cripple it's usability.
