Patreon is banning miscegenation. And yet it’s the Aryanne crowd here who gets called Nazis.
I think this is an image of Patreon explaining why they’re going after Furbooru. Seems like Derpibooru is probably facing similar issues. It’s quite ironic how this is coming right after the censor Aryanne art, although probably not a coincidence with how many people on twitter were advertising trying to get their Patreon shut down.

So what’s the minimum social credit score I need to achieve to avoid having my Derpibooru experience degraded, Comrade Moderator?
Dear users,Bans are handled through deliberation of all active staff members at the time a specific report is being analysed considering site rules. We have the known duck badge functionality which can be ‘awarded’ in specific cases of repeating offenders.However some cases, specially for very persistent ban evaders it was felt the need for better tools in order to maintain the well being of everyone ensuring rules and issued bans are respected.As such an experiment has been made by the development team to give staff more alternatives at handling with these repeating offenders through the use of what is known as a ‘discouragement ban’. It’s purpose as the name suggests consists in discouraging banned users to continue their evading behaviour more effectively than common methods.It is important to clarify that only 2 users who were known consistent ban evaders were affected and currently the system has been discontinued.Please if you feel your connection to the site is slow or behaving wrongly in any form you may report yourself as Other and explain your issues so Staff can help, it is important to understand this has never been wide spread.If you have any more questions please let us know.Best regards,

And that’s what filters and downvoting are for. Simple, and drama-free.
@Background Pony Number 17
You’d be amazed how easy it is to have a great open community where people respect each other and don’t tolerate hateful ideologies. Nobody has to put up with that. There just needs to be more consideration put into the community’s standards beyond “FREE SPEECH!”The “marketplace of ideas” can’t function if bad ideas are never allowed to go bankrupt. “Hitler had some good ideas” and “black people deserved to be colonized” have had their time in the sun and been rejected. They don’t need to have a space to be eternally re-aired.

Because you’re not a god to stand in judgment over us mere mortals. Your ideas are just as fucked up as the rest of ours, so no one’s going to put you in charge of deciding which “ideas are valid”, as much as you seem to want the job.
The only thing that some of the fandom has an issue with is putting up with certain ideas.NO ONE SHOULD PUT UP WITH RACIST IDEAS. Not all ideas are valid, and the ones that advocate murdering, subjugating, or mocking people based on their race or religion are right up there at the top of the list.Why is this so hard?

Putting words in peoples’ mouths and twisting their comments is such a Commie thing to do. And rather silly considering people can read up a few posts and see what I really said.
Looks like that Atlantic article was right. This fandom does have aNaziCommie problem.It started on 4chan.Not sure what Commie has to do with this site proving that article correct, but okay.And that’s the reason why the site has a Nazi problem.

“Pride” is for losers. People of accomplishment have no need to trumpet “pride” in their race/sex/ethnicity, things which they had no say in to begin with.
@Background Pony #81F4
It’s not about White Pride, anon.It’s never been White Pride. Lots of “white” cultures celebrate their heritage (or what’s left of it) without beating down other cultures for perceived inferiority. Ask literally any other non-English UK nation what their idea of Pride is. I guarantee you that a significant amount of them will happily explain their culture without resorting to rhetoric with any mention of “Lesser Races”.We should not be condoning art that condones for the discrimination against and murder of other races out of any idea of purity or restoration.

A search on the tags “foalcon” + “explicit” + “grimdark” yields 894 images. My impression is that Derpibooru was just fine with hosting nearly nine hundred images depicting the sexual abuse of minor characters, yet being asked to host three images with racist content was enough to get the moderators’ knickers in a twist.
Am I the only one who thinks the mods’ values are a little skewed here?
Any new uploads that we believe promote racism or attempt to downplay the Black Lives Matter movement will be deleted.That seems pretty straight forward to me.I am not saying that you are confused - but there obviously is a lot of confusion about this. I don’t know if this is a case of people getting lost in the details, or there is simply so much spin on this being put out by so many different people or tiny groups in the fandom that it’s all becoming impossible to grasp, but for me this is no different than, say, our Rule #5 change a couple years ago, or our new policy about tracing (both of which also had their fair share of drama and turmoil).The actual scope of the implementation of these things seems to me to be a lot simpler, and less confusing, and certainly less overwhelming than the drama that people create around it.Overall, I think we’re still under 3 original images in total that have been deleted because of this change (hard to tell because of artist takedowns happening at the same time), and still less than a dozen edits (again - difficult to know because it’s case-by-case and there’s been so many artist takedowns).What is your impression of this?

Oh, and you can put me down for #3. Although I’d suggest instead of a “hide” button, make it a “Spoiler” button. And if enough people downvote, maybe make the Spoiler tag apply for everyone to let folks know there’s a real stinker here?

I don’t think the downvote system was being abused as much as the mods claim. If people were mass-downvoting all of an artist’s work or all of a given theme, that’s still valid criticism. For example, there are pics of some OCs that I routinely downvote simply because I think they’re offensive. Just telling me to hide them is no answer; I want people to KNOW that some folks find these characters offensive.
Hiding should be a last resort on a booru. The whole point of the booru is to bring people together to share images and opinions on them. If everyone just hides what they disagree with, then there’s no longer a community, just individuals browsing for what they personally like.

Removing the downvote option takes away from what Derpibooru is intended to be: a place to share MLP-themed images and to comment on them. Downvoting is a legitimate form of commentary, and just telling people to hide what they disapprove of is no substitute. If someone posts crap, the fact that they’re posting crap should be held up for all to see.

Calling it here – Sunburst is a changeling.
Think about it:
- He’s a new character in the show who’s suddenly been pushed to the forefront. Almost nothing is known about his backstory except for Starlight Glimmer’s childhood recollections.
- He lives in the Crystal Empire, but he’s not a Crystal Pony.
- He has no apparent job. A “famous wizard” would certainly have some kind of employment.
- He has an encyclopedic knowledge of magical theory, but claims little practical skill. The ideal cover for a changeling trying to pass for a unicorn.
- He managed to work his way into Shining Armor and Cadance’s family, in a position that places himself VERY close to Princess Flurry Heart. The exact thing one of Queen Chrysalis’s scouts would try to do.
Now, the Sunburst we met in the season opener may be the real one, but the next time we see him, “he” won’t be “him.“ And Princess Flurry Heart will be in peril.

I suggest we just tag them as the “Equestria Games Griffons” and hold off on giving them individual names for now. That’ll save a lot of drama and make their images easier to find.

A question on whether we should be making a distinction here or not:
Apparently according to the “Under the Sparkling Sea” book, there are two types of aquatic ponies–Seaponies and Mermares. Also, I’ve seen artists draw aquatic ponies in two styles. The first are like the Generation 1 Sea Ponies, with seahorse-like bodies. The second are like regular ponies with fish-tails. Should we be calling out the first type using the “Seapony” tag, and the second type using the “Mermare” tag?

I’m having the same issue as well. Clicking on the spoiler image brings up the spoiler page with the image number, but clicking on the link that’s supposed to display the image just brings up the same page only with a # at the end of the URL.
