>Possibly opening up board registration
>Hello everyone, I think It's finally time that this site discusses opening board registration, so 'teens can host their own boards about their own topics with their own moderators, however I would like to discuss some rules for these boards, both in content allowed on them and permitted subject matter:
>Global rule changes
>Rules 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will all remain in effect as they are now and will apply globally.
>Rules 2 and 4 will be moved to be local board rules on every board that I currently manage (/soy/, /qa/, /sneed/, /art/, etc.)
>These changes should give board owners more flexibility in their style of moderation and the community they wish to create.
>Improvements to the "What is allowed" section of the rules to note specifically protected content that may appear on all boards, i.e, soyjaks.
>failure to enforce global rules will lead to the board in question being suspended or seized.
>Board Topic Rules
>The types of boards you permit on a site will influence the site's culture. If we get /qanonresearch/, /pedo/, and /leftypol/ on this site, the main board, i.e, /soy/, will become overrun with users from these cultures, which would lead to the nas-coalening of the century as the site steps away from soyjaks being the primary focus.
>Because of this, I would like to propose several topic bans for boards and rules to prevent this place from devolving into cancer if this is done:
>A total ban on shock-content and pornographic boards
>The goal of a ban like this is to prevent the site from being overloaded with coomers and foodists. This site already has quite the reputation for being a lot more sexual than who we've splintered from, soyjak.party, and while this is tolerated, having the site overrun with actual brain-dead retarded and talentless gooners who just want to spam this site with porn dumps would not be good. At least the current coomers on this site create jarty-related OC for people to make fun of or react to. The shock-content ban specifically is to prevent sadists, pedo-sadists, or other types of people from coming to the site in droves to turn this site into their favorite 'cord for raiding twitch streamers.
>A total ban on political-centric discussion
>sorry /liberty/ bros, but politisperging attracts the most low-life, whiny, and sensitive retards from across the internet to sites. It also ends up attracting feds as well as someone inevitably starts talking about committing murder against a politician. This website does not need to be another one of the myriads of debate halls for politics anymore than it already is. Keeping political talk secondary to making fun of people with soyjaks will keep this site on track for its original purpose. This isn't to say that political content will be banned from the site, or disallowed on /soy/, it's just that political discussion should stay secondary to the purpose of this site, which is to be a fun place to be for making fun of people, things, and getting into pointless arguments about nothing while using soyjaks or other /qa/ memes.
>A hard ban on board spam
>Anyone creating new boards rapidly that do nothing to spam the site will have their boards removed and accounts banned. This is to prevent the boards page to have 300 pages of garbage because a sh*rtySHIT thought it'd be funny to troll.
>An eviction notice system
>Eventually, we're going to get a board that is not in violation of the rules but still harmful to the site as a whole. Because of this, at my sole discretion, I would like to have it known that I can serve a board an eviction notice, where after a certain date the board will be terminated from being hosted on the site. This should give whoever is hosting the board enough time to relocate the board off the jarty and to somewhere else.
>While many would hate to see it since it's not /liberty/pilled, the servers I run are paid for at my expense and hosted on my hardware. This means that I am paying for whatever content is on this site. I am rather lax on rules because it makes posting here fun, I would also be willing to remove any specific type of content just because I don't like it because it's on my hardware. Also, if the feds come knocking, there's not much I can do but attempt to prevent further harm to the site and that means bending the knee in some cases if a community gets too rowdy.
>The solution for this, long term, would be for peerchan to finally stabilize enough to be ran as the jarty's main software. I doubt that will happen any time soon, though, so this is the best compromise.
>The interpretation of if a board should be on this site or not will be to my sole discretion. Unlike boards like /soy/, which I purposefully keep as open as possible, boards on the site will likely be a more regulated subject so we don't get a board dedicated to legalizing child rape, posting loli porn, or dedicated to soylita spam on the site. If you want that, 8ch.moe exists. The last thing this site needs to become is "pedo fascist larp imageboard #10723".
>More input on this is requested and there is no promise this is even done at all.
