Added. Does anyone remember how to link the user-side banner page? /banners.html wasn't working and I want to link it in the OP.

Apologies for the wall of text, but I want to explain my reasoning on this one very carefully. Everything below can be considered "unstated rules" for the purposes of reporting. Feel free to screencap it for future use. This will be my last post in the meta thread until tomorrow or Wednesday. The inclusion of italics and bold is to make sure that this post is not quoted out-of-context. I might link anons to this response in the future if their question falls under it.
I'm going to make an analogy between vtubers and idols for a moment that an idolfag I'm a fan of made to me opening my eyes, so I apologize if idols are not anon's cup of tea. In the idol industry, there are your standard idols (what most anons imagine), but there are also Akiba-kei idols (gaming/otaku idols), net idols (idols only available online through streaming platforms, not the same as twitch whores), gravure idols (ecchi idols who pose in videos and photoshoots where there is no penetration), AV idols (idols that engage in everything from gravure to hardcore pornography), junior idols (Nip equivalent of child stars), etc. I fall under the camp that ALL VTubers are idols both Japanese and internationally, just behind a 2D/3D mask.
When I said that this board is big tent, I actually meant that this board is big tent, and that I do not intend to ban on-topic content.
Please read the next paragraph before dropping the board, especially if you came over from Smug where this is a bigger issue.
Each sentence in the sticky has been carefully chosen though. The reason this board's primary focus are otaku-oriented and idol-oriented streamers was chosen was in the event of this coming up in moderation or conversation. The word primary is used to explain that coloring outside the lines will be allowed so long as the person in question is arguably a vtuber or tangentially related to vtubers. However, the reason I explicitly call out otaku and idol interests is because as you and I are both aware, no one here reasonably wants to see shit like DWU's interracial JAV. There will always be anons who post things like that with malicious intent though because there have always been those anons. The purpose of rule 0 is to counteract this, and the purpose of rule 9 is in case an anon is violating the rules in spirit even if he is not violating them in practice. While I do not want to restrict content to generals, if anons refuse to read between the lines or otherwise start spamming gravure VTubers and AV Livers, I will crack down by restricting them to a single thread like how negative content needs to go in The Arena. That way anons who do not like that content may hide it, and anons who like that content may discuss it. My purpose as a janny/moderator/meido/whatever is not to decide what is allowed and what is not allowed, but to make sure everyone is playing by the same rules. If the rules are causing friction, my job is to work out a compromise that does not restrict content, but prevents anons who don't want to see it from having to see it.
In the spirit of a true big tent board, if anons want to have a thread dedicated to Kson/Coco, they may have one. Same goes for Chinktubers/Gooktubers. Same goes for VShitjou. Same goes for Project Melody and other porntubers. Actually, all of the above are controversial topics so I'm going to say they all need to be restricted to a respective general if anon wants to talk about them. Those threads can be turned into generals if they become prolific, and they can be hidden by anons who do not like that content. All that being said, I didn't think that needed to be stated outright so I'm sorry for not clarifying. Lynxchan has features to merge threads, so if anons post outside the lines, you can report them and I can move it to the correct thread while issuing them a warning.
