Yaniv Subforum?

Pre-emptive tl;dr: At this point, I think a Yaniv subforum would end up being about as useful as the Russell Greer one was.

He's really only on Twitter and Facebook. If he had a broader sm footprint, and was producing mīlk in different media (photos on Insta; vids on YouTube), I could see how a subforum would be a good idea. But he's not.

Also, he has virtually no orbiters. There's his mom, but she's not active online, so all accounts of her antics come directly from eyewitnesses; she's batshit, but not threadworthy. Morgaine Oger has not only put distance between himself and Yaniv, but already has his own thread. That leaves...nobody.

Once the BCHRT cases wind up, the main thread is going to slow down. Sure, Yaniv will come back with some other bit of sociopathic fuckery, but until he does, I think things will be much quieter.

So a far more useful and potentially valuable strategy, IMO, would be to create a reliable public resource that non-Kiwis dealing with, writing about, or defending clients against Jonathan "Jessica" Yaniv can turn to for information, without having to wade through the main thread.

This would make it far easier for any normies who have just heard about him to get up to speed. It would also serve as a resource for members of the press who are, or will eventually be, writing stories about him, or for any attorneys who might end up facing him in another HRT or an actual courtroom. And if he ever fucks up hard enough to become the subject of a criminal investigation, our having everything organized and readable, in one place, could help to get his fat ass off the streets ( :optimistic: at least for a little while, given that it's Canuckistan:optimistic:).

This guy is a predator, so it's important that the facts about him, and materials that serve as evidence of his degeneracy, are readily available to anybody who googles him, without their having to wade through all the a-logging, wild speculation, and repetitive shitposting on his thread.

Thus, I recommend concentrating efforts on keeping the OP and a lolcow wiki page as complete and up-to-date as possible, rather than starting a subforum.
 
The way that people keep posting fan art makes me think he requires a forum. Since JY is now making national news, more and more women are remembering their encounters with him and adding to the pile of incriminating screen shots. I could see the sub forum having a thread for the HRT suit, a thread for the city council meetings, a munchie/health thread, one for the news stories, and one for fan art. That would make it easier to get a grip on what the fuck is going on with JY at any given moment, the thread is so hard to keep up with. I have literally been unable to get to the most current page for a week and have neglected all my other cows (except for watching one amberlynn video a day).
 
I agree that it’s frustrating to check on the thread only to discover that the news is buried under a sea of “wow Canada is so cucked” and already-answered questions, and I agree that there’s a lot to talk about with this cow, but I think a subforum is not the answer. Mostly because there would be too much overlap and repetition. Yaniv fakes illness at the tribunal and his mother calls an ambulance, say, could come under several different headings and if the ADF subforum is anything to go by, it will.

I don’t think the flurry of activity is going to continue forever. Right now, the media is interested, because there is a case. But after the outcome, I think both activity and reporting will drop off sharply.

I’d suggest as a compromise a second information-only thread for court reporting, people on the spot, articles from mainstream media and notable reactions (e.g. Ricky Gervais - we don’t need every “well maybe these multiple confessions of pedophilia were faked” reaction from Twitter).
 
My vote is for yes. His thread is just too big to navigate properly, and there is so much multimedia being produced that it's growing exponentially.

EDIT: there may be a potential sub forum on the HRT too.

I think the thread is fine so long as PoIs shitting it up get moderated. I don't rly understand why mods were so happy to let it happen last time and shat on people who were reporting it.

A subforum does not fix that in and of itself - take for example the main Weeb Wars thread: it was created February this year and is over 2000 pages long regardless of its entire subforum being quite active. It's not uncommon for the thread itself to grow 5-15 pages per day on a slow day and topics to often get repeated 2 or 3 times between different subforum threads.

So "the thread is getting big and hard to follow" isn't a good of measure of whether the cow needs a dedicated subforum or not. It can even hurt readability, searching and discussion because now you splintered the community all over the place instead of keeping it neat, tidy and contained on its own abomination of a thread.

The measure of whether a subforum is needed or not should be "do we have so many subjects that we need one thread for each one to properly organize this shit?" Activity and length work more as an argument to keep all that activity contained in one place. The Weeb Wars subforum follows different people, one lawsuit (for now), has a thread for doxes, one for "twitter general" (whale wars), etc.

The only proposal of what threads would be in a Yaniv subforum I've seen so far are completely arbitrary, it doesn't relate to anything happening on the real world (Weeb Wars) and not even to anything happening virtually (Amberlynn, Chris, ADF).
 
The plan has been to phase the wiki out of existence. Check out a few key pages: DSP hasn't married Khat yet. The other Phil's de-nutting's slated but hasn't happened. Sargon hasn't run for office. The posts on the Wiki Discussion board point to why.

If they're funny post them. Better than some random ass tangents about dead philosophers and Caribbean transexuals.
