The only major policy to change after public release of the site was the stance on DNPs. Which was changed very shortly after the site went public.
@Luzion
Kinda useless to talk about ponybooru policies when said policies are flip-flopping like a person having seizure, without regard to any ideals.
Hi, im a mod from ponybooru. I wanted to clear a few things up if I could.
Firstly, furry only posts are not welcome on ponybooru. There seems to be a misunderstanding of this. Any post containing furry must be accompanied with or related to mlp in some way. Originally when the site admin had come up with the idea (over a year ago) and started working on the site, there was an initial plan to have it be a furry and pony booru or have them exist on the same site but accessed separately (it was only ever a concept so my knowledge on the details are few). This changed very early, far before any public release but there were remnants in the rules and other places when ponybooru did go online. This has been changed, and we are still strictly a pony only booru.
Did we create the site purely to be a safe haven for nazi imagery? Certainly not, as I explained before the early concepts of ponybooru were spawned far before there we any public talks of derpibooru removing nazis. We do however host said images on our site but that is not our goal. Our goal is to preserve all mlp art indiscriminately of moral objection, so long as it does not violate US law. It just so happened that the only thing differentiating derpibooru from ponybooru right now is the stance on nazi images. In the future if the vocal majority decides foalcon, rape, incest or any other number of taboo topics gets banned from derpi you can rest assured that you can find it on ponybooru. We’re not a true archive, but we strive to preserve art in its true form to the best we can without censorship. That is our goal, we’re not pro-nazi, were not pro-facism, we’re not pro any ‘-ism’s we just want to look at ponies.
We are working on some features that will help differentiate our booru from derpibooru more. Nothing set in stone but some of the concepts we’ve been toying with include, hosting fanfics, new supported file types, such as pdf, mp3, wav (we added .mp4 support on day 1 and are considering more), music hosting, youtube embeds and some other minor changes. All of these are subject to change and may not be implemented but its what we’ve considered.

It’s funny you say that when TSP had a way of branding the “undesireables” kinda like the actual Nazis did. Someone should update the Mystery Badge to have the Jewish Badge the Nazis used on it to better reflect TSP’s usage and intent for it.
@Dustcan
They’re not Nazis. If you’re too immature to understand the fact that anyone who disagrees with you isn’t a nazi, then you probably shouldn’t be commenting. Also Derpibooru is open source, anyone can make a Derpibootu clone if they wanted.

You’re probably right.
Pretty sure it’s the vocal minority in all of these instances

You’re right, is a double edged sword.
As if you’re not playing the classic “everyone who disagrees with me is a nazi!” card. It goes both ways, you know.
I mean, if I attempt to commit genocide against a minority group but I say I’m against nazis, does that mean I’m not a nazi?
I did want them gone. I just didn’t know it would be this fun watching them go.
I haven’t laughed this hard since Antifa crashed and burned their little sovereign CHAZ in under a month.

Ah. The ever classic “The anti-Nazis are the real Nazis!” card.
It’s funny you say that when TSP had a way of branding the “undesireables” kinda like the actual Nazis did. Someone should update the Mystery Badge to have the Jewish Badge the Nazis used on it to better reflect TSP’s usage and intent for it.
I thought you wanted them gone.
What the bloody hell are you whining about then?
Pinche retrasado quejoso.
Yes. A site being ran by immature mods who fight non-existent problems led by a literal psychopath is no fun place to be.
@BakedBeans
Who coincidentally decided the Nazi bans were their final straw.
Except that it’s not “muh notsees”, just people who are fed up with this site and how it’s ran

Except their galaxy brain reveal was a copy-pasted Derpibooru.
That’s hilarious.
Don’t you know? Anyone to the right of Stalin is a nazi
What nazi users?
Sssh don’t say that here! Some users aren’t keen with that talk.

This. When /mlp/ named him psycho Jerry in one of the con pic naming he did not know how to react.
ZizzyDizzyMC is not from /mlp/.
There is also another one alternative in development too that will be called twibooru
