- Drawfag drama
- (14:54:41) +fsdfdsf: I hope I see kami or kdel today cause I want to talk to them about the draw thread situation
- (14:58:37) +AoC: better have a strong proposal prepared
- (15:00:40) +fsdfdsf: Well the last time we talked about it kami thought having them take a break was a good idea but he wanted to talk to kdel about it, I don't know if that ever happened though. Either way something needs to be done, the threads are a disaster of people upset that certain characters are being drawn all the time and incoherent rage over requests people don't like.
- (15:02:32) +fsdfdsf: I haven't read that full thread in /q/ yet but I see the suggestion of a draw board, I don't think I like that though.
- (15:04:00) +RapeApe9k: a draw board would suck OC out of all other boards
- (15:04:11) +fsdfdsf: That's my view as well
- (15:04:19) +RapeApe9k: what are they doing that's so problematic?
- (15:04:32) +RapeApe9k: just a case of 'stop liking what i don't like' writ large?
- (15:05:08) +AoC: in /vg/, we have people spamming waifu requests and complains about high nsfw standards for deletion
- (15:05:25) +AoC: as for /a/, it's claims of circlejerk and that their requests are not getting filled
- (15:05:32) +fsdfdsf: Well majority of the time my reports are mostly drawfag reports. Pretty much people make requests and people claim that certain characters are being done more than others, to the point that some started a blacklist he's trying to get the drawfags to adhere to. Plus all the shit posting /v/ posters who come to the /a/ draw threads requesting video game characters.
- (15:05:44) +AoC: so the threads end up being 85+% drama instead of content
- (15:06:08) +fsdfdsf: yep
- (15:06:22) +AoC: I find that last claim laughable though, /v/ has their drawfag fridays
- (15:06:23) +fsdfdsf: And I can't just start deleting requests becuse people dont' like them
- (15:06:32) +fsdfdsf: That's not right
- (15:06:53) +fsdfdsf: They do though, they come to /a/ draw threads and request video game characters
- (15:06:55) +fsdfdsf: I've seen it
- (15:07:24) +AoC: isn't it more possible that it's regular people that like videogames rather than full board userbase invasion?
- (15:07:37) +VCR_Working: it's definitely a possibility
- (15:07:44) +VCR_Working: actually it's kinda true
- (15:07:49) +fsdfdsf: I didn't say full board invasion, but there are requests and that is a possiblity
- (15:07:58) +VCR_Working: there's a few people on #drawfriends who req vidya charas
- (15:08:19) +fsdfdsf: I think that /a/ draw threads should be /a/ related
- (15:08:31) +fsdfdsf: No video games since they have their own draw threads on /vg/ and /v/
- (15:08:42) +VCR_Working: it's fair
- (15:08:42) +AoC: as for /vg/, I think it'd be best to look the other way for nsfw unless it turns into nothing but porn request/delivery
- (15:08:44) +VCR_Working: i agree
- (15:08:55) +VCR_Working: with that too
- (15:09:07) +fsdfdsf: I look the other way on NSFW content on /a/, I believe deleting it stifles creativity
- (15:09:15) +fsdfdsf: In the draw threads I mean
- (15:09:27) +VCR_Working: it's when it gets out of hand
- (15:09:40) +VCR_Working: like with bb...
- (15:09:57) +fsdfdsf: Yea bb was a problem
- (15:10:02) +AoC: as for the topic limitation, I disagree. Every drawfag/OC thread in each board has a separate culture determined by shared experience and board's userbase. To draw lines on topic alone would force an artist to lurk different boards according to the piece
- (15:10:37) +fsdfdsf: BB went to /vg/ and I'm guessing a lot of the drawfags jump between board
- (15:10:50) +fsdfdsf: Maybe I'm wrong though
- (15:11:20) +VCR_Working: really
- (15:11:32) +VCR_Working: the real problem stands with the drama stirrers
- (15:11:54) +VCR_Working: i've suggested in the channel that the threads take a break but they aren't biting quite yet
- (15:11:57) +fsdfdsf: I agree and it's both sides which is why I don't want to pick a side and start deleting
- (15:12:10) +VCR_Working: but they have been acknowledging that the threads have been... less than adequate
- (15:12:27) +fsdfdsf: Well that's progress
- (15:12:28) +AoC: the issue is that the break would have to be a concerted effort and publicly agreed on
- (15:12:29) +Kazisho: Was just trying to clear this thread, OP wasn't even trying to make this porn related: https://archive.foolz.us/v/thread/162101527#162102787
- (15:12:43) +fsdfdsf: True AoC
- (15:12:53) +VCR_Working: yeah
- (15:12:53) +AoC: otherwise you get OC Drain when the drawfags start using another board as a bunker
- (15:12:59) +AoC: dragging all the issues with them
- (15:13:43) +fsdfdsf: I think a mod needs to step in for sure though, at least to try and settle some of the issues and lay down some clear ground rules
- (15:13:46) +VCR_Working: yeah
