The report limit was created because the vast majority of people who open more than a single report at once are artists/commissioners who do so to report all of their artwork one by one to be deleted or something. 3 reports seemed reasonable for a legitimate user to have open at once, while preventing abusers from opening too many reports for things that can be dealt with in one report.

So, what are the chances the open report limit can be raised? I have 3 open right now and am sitting on at least 3 more…

Just in case I’ve miscommunicated, please report whatever trolling you’re referring to. Even if it’s something that happened yesterday or the day before if it hasn’t been acted on yet then there’s a chance none of us are even aware of it.

For example, I know there’s people periodically trolling on 6 and 9 year old images, and we only discover many of those because of reports. And if you’re talking about something in a containment zone like the GamerGate thread, then I don’t think any of us even read those.

So, if you saw trolling and no one did anything about it, there’s a good chance none of us even know about it. So please report it so we can try to keep that off kind of behavior off of the site.

And, if we just didn’t find it actionable, I’ll let you know why.

@Ciaran
Okay.

@乃ﾑりん乇ﾑ尺ｲ
Well, there’s almost always someone here, but we don’t see everything. Did you report it?

I only see one recent report from you and it seems it was acted on pretty quickly, and didn’t involve any kind of trolls. Maybe the problem isn’t that there aren’t people on duty, but that we don’t read every single post or comment on the site.

Next time please report whatever you are talking about, ok?

Seriously - maybe none of us have even seen whatever it is that you’re referring to yet. So whatever it is, if it’s rule breaking, please report it and we’ll look into it.

@Ciaran
There’s a time frame when you’re all absent and the trolls have been taking advantage of this.

That would be nighttime where I live.

@乃ﾑりん乇ﾑ尺ｲ
We have volunteers from all over the planet - what hours are ‘nightshift’ for you?

@The Smiling Pony
Agreed.

Can we get someone to moderate nightshift?

My policy always was: “If it’s a blatant attempt to skirt DNP to spite the artist, delete; otherwise, it’s just an image”.

Holding every hotlinked image to rule #1 regardless of intent or context may as well lead to holding every hotlinked image to rule #3 as well and deleting any reaction image or meme or whatever in comments that isn’t pony.

@Ciaran
It was a while ago, but I think I found the ones I remember seeing.

I can only have 3 open reports so I’m just linking them here, if there is even any issue at all.

@Background Pony #699F
If an artist has asked that their art not be posted here, including it in a post really defeats the whole purpose of the DNP, wouldn’t you agree? As for hyperlinks, that would entirely depend on the case. If someone’s done that, please report it as a possible Rule #1 and someone on duty will take a look at it.

@Wiimeiser
I don’t know why you’re making that stipulation, Rule #1 and Do Not Post rules apply regardless of the theme of the image.

@Background Pony #699F
Not AFAIK, but I personally would advise avoiding embedding art from artists who had their art removed from the site after the George Floyd murder, just in case.

Do DNP rules apply to hyperlinks or image embeds used in comments/forum posts?

@typically.
Actually, it may not be the last.

@Background Pony #0D6D  
I really hope not either  
but let’s wait and see

@typically.  
I hope not.

@ichiban iceychan 1517  

 
speaking of, will be this 11th anniversary the last anniversary of friendship is magic?
 
(pun10)

Can we autoban wordfilter the word “purist”, please?

has there been any cases where someone tried to start a fight between people of Gen 3 and gen 4?

@Ciaran  
i guess so
 
Jst something to mark the occasion of the start of a new generation of pony

@ichiban iceychan 1517  
Kind of a zero-eth anniversary or something?

Will be getting any sort of site event or badge for the release of the MLP g5 movie?
 
i know this site has events for the anniversary of MLP FIM but i thought that having a new generation of pony would be a noticable milestone for the site

@phoenixacezero  
Yes, it happens all the time. Usually folks needing to focus at work or school. Just report yourself with a reason of “other” and say you’d like a temp ban and how long you’d like it to be in the text field.
 
If you want the ban lifted before the time you asked for, just come to support on discord and let us know the ban ID and we’ll lift it.
 
These kinds of bans don’t count toward escalation if you have other bans for rule breaking, they’re purely voluntary and your call.

I have one question and it an odd one….can someone asked to be banned temporarily?
