Registrations will remain closed to the public throughout June, 2022.

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Unironically have newfags take a quiz on the site policies and culture before allowing them to post to solve the problem of them newfagging too hard.
I second this, but maybe require them to spend a certain number of hours lurking or something like that (if that’s even possible to track?) and maybe even offer a crash course in site culture so new users aren’t completely alienated and shitting up threats. Think maybe a “newbies must read mega thread”.
 
How the fuck do you get banned from here? Like, I've seen forum staff with lolcow dox in their profile bio,
Just close it when too many retards show up and piss you off, somewhere has a mass exodus, or some big drama drops.

Basically, just turn it on and off at random like a psychopath.
Reddit might be having a mass exodus to the farms right now, they seem to see us as a pro-free speech alternative to reddit that's been maligned as a radical right wing site by bad actors. It's quite concerning IMO as they seem to think null is some sort of activist.
 
I have a feeling something will happen during/prior to July 4th, making nool close the registrations again.
Thanks dude, now you've jinxed us.



In all seriousness, considering how volatile everything is right now, and considering the significance of the 4th, it wouldn't be surprising if something big went down around that time.
 
Can you please explain to new users how exactly the new user limits work and how long they last for, and also make it that when a new users post is approved it gets placed at the end of the thread? There is constant confusion when people come to the site.

Also I think that other than zoomers being conditioned to think that it's normal to use your real name and pictures of your face online there is a much bigger issue that the farms is running into. The farms is now more than just a place to laugh at internet autism, it's also one of the few places left on the internet where you can talk about games or food etc without having to constantly pledge loyalty to the tranny overlords, so you have a lot of refugees from other sites coming here to talk about non lolcow related stuff.

This has lead to the farms being in a bit of an odd place for a community. On the one hand you are encouraged to say nothing about yourself and use a new username and to stick to the topics of discussion, on the other hand you have a large community forming of people that want to interact with each other more, for example people in the gaming threads that want to play in multiplayer games together. It's a weird juxtaposition.

I don't know what the answer is. You could argue that it doesn't matter if you use the same username here on the farms as you use elsewhere now and that this place is just a regular forum at this point, after all the far left and the police are quite busy with the masses that accidently post saint Floyd memes or misgender someone and the peasant uprising that is boiling up, or you could say that the world is so Orwellian that you need to be more careful than ever if you don't want to be thrown in the gulag.

I don't know the answer but I think that this place is being pulled in multiple directions and that's why it's leading to a lot of confusion and infighting.
 
@Null could you start a points based post limit? 5 posts a day to begin and then x amount of positive ratio of reactions earns 5 more posts a day and so on?
This is a terrible idea. The worst retards on this site have great positive sticker ratios because the worst retards on this site find a corner to circlejerk in and feed each other updoots. Stickers should always remain meaningless and cosmetic, people already care too much about them.
 
Newfags and their consequences have been a disaster for Kiwi Farms. - Ted Kaczynski
To be fair, not all the 2022 newfags are bad. Every batch of newfags has good and bad members, it's just the ratio between the two that changes. There are some that are shitty, and others that years from now will be great contributors to the site. They just give need some time to settle in and establish themselves.

Truth be told most of the shitty 2022 newfags I've seen tend to be centered around the Nick Fuentes board.
