Fellow /gif/ jannies, mods and globals:Ever since /wsg/ was created, there have remained a number of threads on /gif/ that would be considered SFW, most commonly "You Laugh You Lose" and, more recently "You Groove You Lose" threads. Moderating these has become difficult, in my opinion, due to the lack of warning template for "SFW on Adult /gif/," giving me the impression that posters of these threads aren't getting the message.Should we take a harder stance against these threads, and try to permanently push them to /wsg/? I know that the template isn't totally necessary, but I think that it would help.I'd appreciate your thoughts on the matter. Sorry that I don't really know who the /gif/ jannies are, or I'd bring it up with you personally.
>>5626I'm also a /gif/ janitor. A couple of months ago, a mod told me to just delete the threads or ask for a mod to give a custom ban/warning (this was about YLYL with SFW content specifically).I think adding a warning template for creating SFW threads (not necessarily SFW posts) would be convenient for allowing us to convey to people who are posting these threads that they should move to /wsg/, with out us having to contact a mod to ask for a custom warn. I'm pretty sure a couple of OPs have gotten custom warns/bans being told to fuck off with that shit to /wsg/, I normally just delete the threads which leaves the next thread saying "Where's the YGYL?". /gif/'s real problem is request threads, IT'S PISS, and racism/trolling. Which is all a worse offense than simply the YLYL and YGYL threads, but our bans/warns don't seem to deter a lot of those people so it's unlikely that warning people for posting SFW content will do any good.tl;dr the template might help tell the OP to stop, but I don't think it's possible to push SFW threads off the board if it would have any effect at all.Also, you should just say something in IRC! I have /gif/ as one of my highlighted words and I'm sure other janitors do that for their boards as well so you could always just ask who's on /gif/ and people might reply, even if it's a couple hours later. If you ask, I'll definitely reply when I see it.
