RAIDING A BOARD

That's what they used to call what /hivemind/ is doing on /QR/ (posting posts that deliberately interfere with another board's activities)

RAIDING is now hereby BANNED on QR.

Staff will continue to DELETE obvious raiding posts from OSS or minions.

Anons will need to ignore or filter when staff is not on the board.

We are exploring other options for dealing with raids, but it's really like all spam –

only difference is we know the source.

Thanks for your patience and perseverance, fellow patriots.

Thanks especially for your vigilance in noticing problems and calling them out here and in Meta.

STILL WINNING.

THIS POST IS TO LET ANONS KNOW THE CONCERNS OF BOARD ADMINS ABOUT SPAM.

Admins are also concerned about attacks from other boards, specifically /hivemind/.

Attached is a separate proposal of one way we might handle those attacks.

STATEMENT RE SPAM, BANS AND OTHER ATTACKS ON QR

In the current bread, have been banning this "pig" poster who keeps evading bans and saying FU by posting the ban notices. Could be OSS, but he's not the only shill here.

Bans are almost entirely inffective at this point, only reason to use them to discourage the minority of shills who will abide by them OR to use ban offenses to justify an official perma-ban.

Whether it can be enforced or not, can be used at least to prevent someone from BAKING or TAKING NOTES - or to justify AUTHORIZING ANONS OR BAKERS TO TAKE OVER THEIR BAKES or REJECT PURPOSELY OFFENSIVE OR INAPPROPRIATE NOTES (muh joos, unsauced, etc.)

We cannot prevent 100% of spam, it is labor intensive to delete all the spam on every bread unless illegal.

For especially offensive spam, plz make a report and we will try to take care of it. But the staff is modest and cannot be here 24/7. So filtering is the other alternative.

In the near future, will develop a formal CONTENT POLICY.

This will clarify what is and is not acceptable speech.

It will not affect 95%+ of what is posted, but will target stuff most anons don't want here - spam, hardcore pron, personal attacks and posts purposely designed to create a HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT that seeks to obstruct our ongoing efforts to dig, meme, and pray.

It will also include a position statement that addresses the fact that there are posts here that - while not explicitely banned - are in NO WAY ENDORSED by the management (and probably the vast majority of posters) - posts that are permiitted only in the interests of allowing the widest possible interpretation of free speech. Expnands the principle as applied to notables to all posts on this board.

May discuss the difference between freedom of speech and freedom of expression; still a work in progress.

==Proposal to allow Auto-convert function to convert /HIVEMIND/ to /HM/ >>Dead link==

/HIVEMIND/ advertises itself in both posts and thru listing its bloated "notables" on QResearch.

This is unethical and unwanted by most anons.

Staffers have made the following two proposals involving the auto-convert function in board settings, which allows the word typed in to be auto-converted to another word.

Proposal #1: that "/HIVEMIND/" be auto-converted to "/HM/" , so that links to that board would be DEAD.

Proposal #2: that "OSS" be auto-converted to "No-Name" - anons will understand the implication.

BO frankly has reservations about using a board setting to activate such a function because anons have no way of turning it off. It is unavoidably universal.

On the other hand, re Proposal #1, it would definitely crimp the style of HIVEMIND to have their links disabled - which that board richly deserves.

Not sure about the effects of Proposal #2, would like to hear what anons think.

Plz comment here or in META.
