Thread 7073

just what the title says
this is the notes file I've been using and updating for about a year
please note I started on /vg/ and added /d/ so some notes may be more relevant to certain boards than others

general:
tend towards the more specific rule and template when possible!
refresh the report page regularly, not just when you finish it or have looked at all the threads; no more than ~20 minutes between refreshes
"too early" for a general is before bump limit
BR's give an automatic 15-minute mute to the poster, but their milder cousins don't
remember there's a 4chan.org/bans page, it lists some recent bans and gives insight into what's ban-worthy

global 1:
most types are PERMANENT, generic type is 30 days
use the appropriate template!
drawn stuff does not get a BR for 1! every flavor of 1 is for photographs, just different variations
always tell someone about a 1 and try to consult beforehand
bestiality gets temp 1
if someone links an outside website that has normal pictures of underagers, don't use 1; probably do act though
if something has a bunch of erroneous reports for this, tell someone; if it's just one, deal with it normally

global 2:
30 days
be careful with this one

global 3:
1 day
the criteria for 3 are not the most obvious, tend towards 6
drawn kid stuff can be BR'd under 3
"reply to this or else" warrants a 3
if a bad post is BR'd and later found to be spam, it may go here
any sort of checking and rolling fit under 3b ("dubs/get")
dead bodies can go here if off-topic, if on-topic use 5 or better yet ask someone
caption, denial, and fiction threads on red boards go under 3a ("garbage outside of /b/"); entire full conversations that have taken root warrant a move to /trash/

global 4:
15 day external, 5 day internal
any personally identifiable information (e.g. phone number, e-mail address) for anyone that's not a public figure goes here, regardless of source or intent
(1/3)

global 5:
3 days
lewd on blue boards is a definite BR, use 5
lazily censored porn (lines, images) is still a 5
exceptions can be made for slight infractions that are on topic/in a thread where it's expected (e.g. nip slip discussing hentai games in SFW hentai game threads)
highly suggestive near-nudity, male or female, can go here

global 6:
always gets a warning
low-effort shit falls under this
posts like "stfu @4375245657" go here
replying with partial digits or intentionally broken backlinks also applies
"look I quoted everyone" goes here
combos are #6
incomprehensible babbling fits here
fanfiction talk can go here when it's more about that than the actual topic

global 10:
3 days
only use reposting/spamming/flooding template
only use for fairly mean-spirited, obnoxious, and abundant examples-- not just a few!
when you do use it it's good idea to mark multiple posts to make it more clear, but not more than 3 or 4-- or just link them in chat

global 11:
use sparingly for ads
begging goes here

global 12:
may be worth a public ban, so be careful with it

global 13:
3 days
remember it's there, especially for things that otherwise look innocuous; look for similar posts

global 16:
not enough images for an NSFW thread goes here
warning only for this one!
(2/3)

(3/3)
/vg/ 1:
off-the-wall shit can go here
talking about posters goes here
self-fragging talk can go here, but tell people about it regardless
posts that are just ranting can go here

/d/ 1:
RP in large amounts

posts to clear:
if it's definitely not breaking any rules, definitely clear it!
if it's not breaking any apparent rules, probably clear it!
clearing is good!
waifu wars are not ban-worthy, and usually not even delete-worthy
cropped porn is no big deal
linking to Discord, Twitch, YouTube, etc. isn't necessarily worth taking action-- but it is if someone's profiting
if a post is cleared, the report details are lost

warnings:
warn requests should be the first response you go to
warn requests don't give an automatic mute

posts to delete:
keep an eye out for OP fighting when generals are concerned-- clear one, delete the rest, don't BR unless there's other shit going on
if someone's asking for posts to be reported, just delete it
non-English posts go here, or ask a mod to warn for
things that have no discernible post content can go here
pasta that's not relevant or is being spammed goes here or under 6

and good luck to all the newfriends we got recently!

Here's my definitive guide to jannying /v/

90% of the ban requests are going to be for not vidya
the other 10% porn
the other 10% fanboyism on crying wojacks

yes I know that's 110% deal with it mathnerds

What happens when the mods wipe a user, and what needs to happen to request that from the mods?

>>7077
All of their posts get deleted. This may (I believe) be all of their posts either in a single thread, on a specific board, or across the entire site - it depends on what is being wiped and why. As for requesting it, if you see something that's probably being spammed, or if you see someone with (a) pending BR(s) and a lot of shitty posts, then you can ask for them to be wiped. Just ping a mod or two. Worst that can happen is that they just say no, the user doesn't need to be wiped. Obviously don't go asking for this all the time, but don't be afraid to ask for it if you think it would be useful.

to clarify about suicide posts, I guess I never added it to the file, but you should always tell a mod if it seems like it's not a joke, because per site policy (and probably for legal reasons) we have to give them a specialized ban message with a suicide hotline number and if it is real then it's obviously time-sensitive

>>7080
Get a mod to custom ban it. We like to add a suicide hotline number for the country of the poster if we can.
If no mods are around and some time has passed then use GR3. We don't want the thread to stay up too long because anons will start encouraging OP

>>7076
Unironically this

>>7073 (OP)
according to a mod:
>GR3 is 3 days (except guro, which is 1 day), GR4 is 14 days, 5 day intra.

>>7504
guro is a 1 day global. dubs is 1 day local. everything else in GR3 is 3 days global
