BO/BVs

Anon is permalurker, occasional baker and updater of bakertools. Anon has experienced all the flavours of division faggotry. Anon is confused by recent BV activations and the rules are no longer clear. Anon requests certain clarification to be confident that this BV activation is not a new and sophisticated version of division faggotry. There aren't hard and fast rules as anon understands, but instead a tribally accepted set of principles that can be determined while lurking. Anon will attempt to list some. Anon requests that BO/BVs develop and agree principles that reflect the new era of the board and post them as BO and that post is a global notable.

>Principles:

>All anons are equal.

>Baking is an anon service and duty, bakers are anons who are more resistant to manipulation.

>Notables are determined by baker. Anon noms are preferred, self noms are discouraged. Anon corrections are encouraged but must be knife edge specific. Vague, irrational, illogical complaints are a form of division faggotry.

>Malevolent anons get filtered, Malevolent bakers are given specific feedback, if ignored the only remedy is to ask for the bake, if hostile baker refuses only then is a bread split to be considered.

>Spam is the repeating of posts that have no value, until recently spam was the price of anon humint and were not removed. Spamming breads was a preferable remedy to malevolent bakers than bread splitting.

>Concern for optics is only valuable in a fair, honest, open system. Those days are gone. Optics fagging = division fagging. Required optics will be generated by malevolent actors at best, instead the reactions to negative optics occur without the need of their existence.

>Notables are not your mothers facebook news feed, nor are they primarily a news aggregator. They are relevant to the mood of the bread at the time, their purpose should be to glue breads together for diggs and to give timezone anons a bread summary to catch them up to the feel of the current bread.

Anon had to stop to think for too long, meaning this is the list that matters right now. This is simply a guide of what is being asked for.
