I've looked over the rules and I can't tell why we are being singled out like that.
Correct me if I'm wron, but only ones I can tell for sure that we broke (as a group, I mean, I can't tell for anyone else of course) are; 6 (post quality), 8 (complaining about 4chan), 13 (no avatar or signature), maybe 14 (scrapers, bots, or other automated posting or downloading scripts is prohibited), 15 (no mlp/brony stuff outside of /mlp/) for the global rules, maybe 2 (spoiler tags) for /co/ specific rules, and 2 (No doodles or garbage artwork) for /aco/ rules. And now apparently there is an unwritten rule about meta being prohibited.
And, again correct me if I'm wrong, but from my point of view here is why those were broken;
6 is in part the moderation teamss fault; Deleting greentexts, art, links and discussions while leaving posts like "nantales moment" or other incoherent trolls. The rest is just us being, well, people on the internet, like every other anon on the board.
8 because we're fed up with the atrocious moderation and their blatant disregard for formal feedback and sometime direct questioning via IRC (except that first try a few months ago in this thread, from what I've seen and heard the others were civil and went at it the proper way).
13 would be at least for GosslingAnon, then maybe some artists posting a recognizeable drawing for their request-taking, the "my friend" poster, and some others that I probably forgot or would be delighted to see their names mentioned.
14 because the Booru's forum have a post about how to use an automated scrapper for the thread and how to mass upload it to the gallery afterward.
15 because we posted ponified Emmy or other characters from times to time, but that was months apart.
/co/'s 2 because I've seen several anons fuck up spoiler tags
/aco/'s 2 because of Lumpy
The meta because maybe ocs count as meta? It wasn't stated what counted as meta or not.
And that's without counting the unspoken rules that varies between mods and change each time a new one is assigned to or leave /co/, and that nobody have any clues about.
I'll add that a lot of other threads violate those rules and more, but I haven't seen them get singled out this hard so consistantly. Or at all.
Incidentally I hope we're not breaking any or too many rules of this board here, but given the lack of activity other than us I think we're alright even if we do.
And maybe contacting a mod here would be easier given the smaller size anyway.
