I think we need to kill COTD thread once and for all. It's beginning to weird me out more and more on a daily basis to see it in the thread list. Like, honestly, would anyone actually go out of their way to defend keeping it?
- It is an embarrassment.webazoot
- It’s great for art and humor but a certain few are inexplicably posting low-grade 2000s-era pornscarabin
- That stuff is getting downvoted to oblivion, not sure why the poster hasn’t noticed... unless it’s an active attempt to discredit the thread and have it removedscarabin
- I'd rather it was just hidden from main view, somehow, so there's an outlet for the invested, but i think Old God Pink Named Moderators would've nuked that shitNairn
- honestly, i don't know why we have porn on this site. Of any kind, unless it's sarcastic, relevant or arty or whatever somehow.Nairn
- awkward for me, because i'm a staunch supporter of the nsfw thread, just because it's an input for weird fucked up shit. I don't unzip before I click it tho...Nairn
- mostly.Nairn
- Blame Omaha.StoicLevels
- Over my dead bodydrgs
- Break it up I to age groups. Illegal age, then 20s to 50s then marychains.lemmy_k
- I just upvoted a picture posted by omaha to see if the FBI will be here in 5 minutesoey_oey
- four minutes to gooey_oey
- I’m all for ditching itGnash
- Yeah thanks to Omaha for flooding and trolling the thread.NBQ00
- I never visit it, so I'm easy either way.Continuity
- dude of the day should go toointeliboy
- Let’s just shut down QBN dot com. As any thread can hurt our feelings.NBQ00
- blame Obamapango
- The new puritans + "the world should adapt itself to my needs"-attitude
I despise Americans, get fuckeddrgs - ugggh stop putting American at the centre of the attention. you're feeding their ego.pango
- it started off as a joke anyway. but some people took it seriously and got carried away.pango
- Omaha's taste in porn reminds me of my teenage dial-up daysTOMMYxGUNN
- QBN is a porn sitenb
- The religious communist comes for COTD! Canceled!Hayoth
- The public has voted in favor of removing the porn from QBN. Just saying.nb
- Omaha's taste in porn is deplorable and perhaps ironic? Still a huge cum stain on the siteStoicLevels
- This site is a plethora of bodily stains.TOMMYxGUNN
- lol—omaha is a master troll and he continues to 'play dumb' while driving so many of you nuts. I think some of you need to grow up rather than KILL content. :/PonyBoy
- Or... you could do the age ol' move of... fucking off yourself and ignoring the things that bother you... yes? Nobody is making you click that thread?PonyBoy
- I mean... are we afraid of scaring 'new users'?!! LOL!!
FFS... just warn then DELETE omaha and be done with it if he doesn't change.PonyBoy - Instead of killing threads... kill the SHIT content that makes it in the thread and stop letting one user dictate the content for everyone.PonyBoy
- What about folks like Simon—international photographers for playboy etc. Tasteful stuff like many folks post? Just moderate the thread (do your job)...PonyBoy
- ... do some moderating, mg33 instead of your lil public post that diminishes anyone not running on your level of wokeness. <3 JUST DELETE HIS POSTS and him ffs.PonyBoy
- you make many valid points, but you lost me at wokeness... even our finest anti-woke ambassadors dislike the thread. Why politicise it?fadein11
- remove the trolls, not the thread. and omaha clearly posts for the attention he is now getting. he wins all round.fadein11
- Not that I ever click on it lollllzzzzfadein11
- "Like, honestly, would anyone actually go out of their way to defend keeping it?"
That kind of question judges anyone disagreeing upfront...PonyBoy - ... it's a political tactic to shut folks up before having a chance to respond... So I responded in tone.PonyBoy
- Delete it. When I have briefly looked at it, it seems like some sort of Wank material archive. Especially for Ohamashapesalad
- For me keeping, or deleting, the thread has all to do with the image it projects of this community to any potential newcomers.Gnash
- I have no problem avoiding the thread, I just don’t like the idea of a new designer popping in to see mostly crappy porn shotsGnash
- All "* of the day"-threads started before 2010 are sacred. QBN is not QBN without potd, cotd, blog etcdrgs
- it’d be different if the shots we all of Simon’s quality or had some merit beyond the obviousGnash
- Same went for the Muslim thread, fine if it was just discussion, but it devolved into racist vomitGnash
- Agree, if it were on par with simons stuff it’d be fine and a lot of it was for the most part, beautifully shot tasteful women, I’d say artistic even_niko
- But it’s devolved into a weird fetish thread of wank material for certain members which is just strange and off putting._niko
- I suppose if we do delete it though, there’s no way to stop anyone from posting similar pics in the photography thread or even pic of the day_niko
- I’m less enthusiastic, but I agree.futurefood
- what gnash saidfadein11
- Totally agreeomahadesigns
- People post ridiculous stuff thereomahadesigns
- Rename the thread Incel of the DayStoicLevels
- i am not a frequent visitor to the thread but it doesn't bother me at all. it stays as far as i'm concerned.renderedred
- and yeah, omaha posts there a lot, i'm sure we don't want porn in the useful thread, so let him have it.renderedred
- keep it but you can only see the thread and navigate when you're logged in. one as to be a member.oey_oey
- or delete that thread and others and start a thread called nudity. independently of gender. don't know.oey_oey
- I just know it's too much but I want to keep freedom and a way that Simon can share his work. Not because of nudes but because he's a member of the Forum.oey_oey
- I'd rather have nothing but design threads but since design has always been about 10% of QBN I wouldn't target Chick of the Day more than any others.CyBrainX
- Or just man up and ignore threads you don’t like and don’t click on it. Problem solved :)NBQ00
- It just needs some basic moderation, like any other forum since the beginning of timescarabin
- I always thought that thread, like the politics thread, was to keep that content from being posted everywhere else. I'm fine with it. I don't have to click.monNom
- mg33 is the moderator (or A moderator) here on QBN—yes? Why not just' do yer jerb' and moderate / delete the nonsense that has him so weirded out?PonyBoy
- im guessing cuz he's not being paid and doesn't want to assert too much moderation.pango
- im all for just delete it. discussion never goes anywhere on qbn.pango
- he doesn't want to be that guy everyone dislikes so he asked for a consensus.
not much to gain for him to actually moderate.pango - PonyBoy, I and the other mods shouldn’t have to devote a single second of time to culling inappropriately nubile, non-artistic, spank-bank ammo.mg33
- I seriously can’t believe there’s a single tear over deleting that thread. Is it not enough to post this stuff on Reddit with its infinite options?mg33
- Oh 'boo hoo' at not wanting to be disliked cuz he made a decision as a moderator. ffs—You start a post that basically states anyone who disagrees w/you (mg33)..PonyBoy
- ... pretty much falls into your categorization of 'weird' (whatever that is). You could easily do your job and protect the thread (all threads) so folks like...PonyBoy
- ... Simon and the like could retain their presence here. If you feel you don't need to 'devote a single second of time culling inappropriately' blah blah blah..PonyBoy
- ...lol—then WTF do you think your jobis? You MODERATE! Delete foul, inappropriate content / users etc—that is precisely what you devote your time to! Yikes.PonyBoy
- PonyBoy, I can’t tell if you’re saying this because you’d be irked to not browse porn here, or because you think policing it is how any mod should be devoting..mg33
- .. their time here. Which is it?mg33
- I think you should clean the fucking site up so more creative folks are attracted to the place, mg33. The shit stays in the thread and you have the power to...PonyBoy
- ... kill it while NOBODY is fighting you on deleting omaha-like garbage. It's weird you let it sit and fester... fouling up the site. You make zero sense, mg33.PonyBoy
- Cute of you to try and attach that foul porn to me as if I like to browse it, mg33. I've done nothing but ask you to do your job— maybe YOU prefer...PonyBoy
- Look, maybe it’s simply the utterly un-artistic crap Omaha posts that’s agitating me. It’s a thread I avoid 99% of the time.mg33
- ... to keep that foul nonsense around as you REFUSE to delete it?!
haha... again... you are making zero sense here. You are the janitor... you wanted the job!PonyBoy - No mod here devotes time to reviewing every thread and post. Not one. Everyone’s actually been f’ing great people here for months, to be honest.mg33
- The need to moderate heavily usually came in the days when multiple people were trolling and fighting.mg33
- We can all lay a bit low now that all that’s not happening.mg33
- Well... you've obviously been reviewing the COTD thread because I'm commenting on YOUR post regarding said thread. Just delete it, dude... be done w/it.PonyBoy
- Well... perhaps the "need to moderate needs" an additional bullet point:
• trolling
• fighting
• posting really foul shit w/out purpose
?
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3PonyBoy - “Sorry Marge, the mob has spoken!”nb
- I mean... right before you submit a post it states "Post belligerent or vulgar things at your own risk"... vulgar!! hehe— mg33—I'm done busting your balls. <3PonyBoy
- Vulgarity is in the eye of the beholder though, isn’t it? :Dmg33
- Maybe we just need a better line of demarcation between obviously artistic nude photography, and the crap that ismg33
- ... just copied and pasted endlessly from Reddit gone wild threads. Happy medium?mg33
- See... here's my problem. 'Good things' can come from a vulgar moment. For instance, take this post (NSFW, gross): https://www.qbn.com/…PonyBoy
- If I hadn't saw omaha's post then clicked scarabin's link I wouldn't have had the LoL that I just happened to have been desperately in need of at that moment.PonyBoy
- I mean... I shared that post w/my wife (you read that right)... she DIED laughing then slapped me.PonyBoy
- < LMFAO!mg33
- Lol. That's retardedStoicLevels
- Pick someone who’s in the thread a lot and make them mod of it. Art, history, current events, humor, etc are all fine but obvious porn gets deletedscarabin
- By porn i mean spread shots with no merit, “here’s my butthole” shots, penetration, etc. don’t get hung up on semantics, just shut up and go with their choicesscarabin
- We’re all basically unanimous that porn is the only thing ruining the threadscarabin
- Im not there enough to suggest anyone. Any volunteers?scarabin
- Obviously mg33 can’t be arsedscarabin
- i would moderate only the cotd thread if asked, on a freelance/non perm basisStoicLevels
- lolStoicLevels
- another way would be to actually use the "flag" feature already built into the site. flag everything you don't think is appropriate, and if a thing gets say,scarabin
- 3 flags, mg33 deletes it. (or whoever)scarabin
- *inappropriatescarabin
- *appropriate, sorry i'm high afscarabin
- Oh. You're medicated.StoicLevels
- shut up :)scarabin
- Cotd was started to keep erotica out of Potd (similarly NSFW of the day was stated to keep porn out of Cotd). You want it back in Potd?drgs
- Only problem I see here omaha should be posting in the NSFW threaddrgs
- just give me the mod power. i promise I wont nuke the thread. https://i.imgur.com/…pango
- or delete all threads that contain porn content and consolidate them in NSFW thread. and burry that shit.pango
- Let me moderateomahadesigns
- you sunuva... lolStoicLevels
- yes, omaha for mod!!!!renderedred
- lol... why not?PonyBoy
- this conversation again?autoflavour
- this conversation again?autoflavour
- this conversation again?Continuity
- 6 days later and it's still there.Nairn
- Just hide the fucker from the main view. It's somehow possible on other threads - just do the same with that one.Nairn
