'>>10911711
nayrt, but in the past there have always been commenters saying "this isn't the ita thread, don't post shitty coords" whenever someone posted bad coords. There were also people who said that they measured how well they were doing by looking at whether they got posted to the ita thread or the COF thread. COF threads have also devolved into gossip threads. COF threads have also been started by people who nobody likes, who just want attention for their bad/mediocre coords. So it's been a mix of things really.';

What's your problem with some standards being applied to what gets posted to the COF threads?
There have always been commenters saying "this isn't the ita thread, don't post shitty coords" whenever someone posted bad coords.';
'>>10911719
Nayrt but I made a number of COF threads in the past and it was always about having the coords from the group being posted without much criterion.
People just didn't have Facebook accounts and wanted to see whatever was being posted there. Selecting only the best kinda defeats that purpose imho
(and the thread would end up being empty anyway)';
'ITT: dumb ass newfags coming to a board to create rules for threads that no body cares about

'>>10911721
If that's how OP want to conduct it, I don't care. But a thread with everything being posted and commented on is much more entertaining than having selected pictures that OP thinks is nice and everyone else just tearing that person apart.
We usually have those "favourite coords" thread and it's always a shit show... Without standards at least we won't have to fight over someone else's choices.';
'>>10911680
nayrt, the problem with "curated" cof threads is that inevitably some uggo with a nice coord will be posted, then dogpiled and accused of self-posting for the crime of having a butterface. then the thread devolves into 'sticker test' retardation. we just can't have nice things on /cgl/.';
'>>10911724
>>10911725
Those are good reasons. I'm not overly invested, I was just really curious to hear the reasoning.
How about a compromise?: since we already have an ita thread, just post everything (including awkward beginners outfits, mediocre coords, mildly bad coords) except for actual ita level coords to the COF thread?
If it's still a "no" to avoid unnecessary derailment and discussions I understand.';
'>>10911726
nta but the entire point of these threads is so we can sort the posts ourselves, and for anons who aren't in cof. itas get reposted to ita threads and anons who don't have cof save the coords they like.';
'>>10911726
IDK how to tell you this, but this is an anonymous image board. People can post basically whatever the fuck they want any of the time. If you want a specific type of thread, you have the make it';
'>>10911779
I see no point in having itas in both the COF thread and the ita thread, that's all.';
'OP here, thank you all for your feedback.
Ultimately my goal with reposting coords from CoF is to generate discussion about the coords themselves rather than discussion about what may or may not belong in a CoF thread.
If some people want a "better, higher quality" CoF thread they are more than welcome to create their own curated CoF threads.
Personally, I'd prefer not to pick and choose "quality" coords just to have thread discussion devolve into what does or doesn't belong here. If I do another CoF thread, I will do the same thing again and just post whatever I see in chronological order.';

>how do people get salopettes look good?
Be very short and skinny with a small frame and minimal bust, otherwise they don't hang properly and look frumpy. Unlike regular lolita dress cuts, salopettes have a completely straight/flat torso and mini-skirt so they are unforgiving of any curves and only fit right on very petite girls.';

Buying second hand is the same as thrifting depending on your language.';
'>>10912516
No it isn't, she's virtue signaling. Buying secondhand in the lolita community has a totally different connotation.';

goddamn the rose cross rerelease looks like shit';
'>>10912497
>>10912516
nayrt, I know it's a language thing but it grinds my gears when someone calls buying from the 2nd hand lolita market "thrifting".';
'>>10912524
Yes, it is.';
'>>10912535
nayrt but for most people thrifting has very different connotations that buying some dress on closet child for 300$ for example.
Thrifting isn't synonymous with second hand shopping. For most people thrifting means visiting thrift stores, which are second hand stores that sell a variety of goods second hand at very low prices. There are second hand shops that specialize in luxury brand items, and these would not be included in most people's definition of thrifting because of the price.';
'>>10912545
exactly, a thrift store and a vintage store are two different things. when somebody pays 1k for their dream dress, that's not thrifting. when somebody pays retail for a used AP print, that's not thrifting. thrifting is when you get a Michael Kors sweater with a hole in it at Goodwill for 5.99';
'>>10912548
exactly. This is why I think it's so weird when someone calls it thrifting if they're buying from the second hand lolita market.';
'>>10912545
>>10912548
You two fail to understand what that anon has implied since the beginning: "to thrift" and "to buy second-hand" are synonymous in other languages.
The person in the picture is clearly an ESL and is using the wrong term because she is translating it from her language. It's not virtue signalling as the other anon has pointed out, rather it's a case of mistranslation.
No one is arguing over actual semantics.
in any way, don't waste your time trying to argue with people on the internet like I'm doing right now. Contribute to the thread instead.';
