1/6

I believe that if it's being aired this very season, source shouldn't be given.

so wuts the sauce

>>35375335
SAUCE NAO

It seems like a lot of these are just people trolling

>>35375432
FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

>>35375478
My god. The top one is so blatant I literally kicked myself in the face.

So what is the plan?, be rude?.

>>35375613

>?, be rude?.

Yes, fuck off.

>this thread

>>35375511
Have the same post on there twice, I believe.

Also, it makes me feel bad that I remember many of these threads. I spend way too much time here.

>>35375335
It only improves the board if the source is old or obscure.

>>35375613
Ignore suacefags and continue your discussion. If you want to help the more resourceful/less stupid ones, post a pic with the title in the image somewhere and/or in the image name.

Cataloging the stupidity on /a/ is too much of a job for anyone person.

These caps suck horrible ass too. Learn to actually make decent images if you're going to become a tripfag

these are just people asking easy questions you faggot.

>OP's pic is Summer Cartographer.jpg
>troll thread
nice try, but you're worse than the newfags that supposedly hate

Summer Cartographer, that depends on the mood of /a/, considering the hivemind nature of imageboards. Newfag summer has been documented over and over and it will not stop. The best way to put up with newfag summer is this: DEAL WITH IT.

How to DEAL WITH IT? It's simple: Tell newfags to Lurk More, unless the OP states in his thread that he tried everything to figure it out for himself. However /a/ has already found a way to DEAL WITH IT.

>Cirno.jpg
>Who is the girl in the picture?

... meh

>>35375752

I only trip for the thread bro.

I just take a couple of minutes to cut and paste, I won't be spending 10 minutes on a single image.

>>35375859

Why are you here?

>>35375790

Well, I did post this thread several hours ahead of when I usually do. I perhaps later would have been better.

Oh well.

>>35375859
>I can't google for shit.

>>35375903

Do you realise that; by shitting up threads you are reducing your chances of having stimulating discussions?

>>35375911
This is nighttime /a/. Don't worry, the newfags are asleep.

>>35375925
Believe it or not, I actually look at file names and search around first, but that's assuming you have any leads. Searching around doesn't mean looking through the index of all anime from A-Z. I also actively help people look for sauce, by sometimes digging in less-well known locations in IRC. Like I said, bros help out other bros.

>>35375968
Who's the one shitting up the thread? You? I made reasonable comments to all your posts, and comments which I believe reflect the general attitude of this board. That is, if you want to be an asshole, I can be a worse asshole.

>>35375970

I'd say it's dusk /a/.

Almost there, but not quite.

>>35375996
Good for you. I do also help people out when asking, as long he isn't a asshole. This because I've lurked on /a/ for a long time and being into the otaku culture for so long.

Sadly I do not watch as much anime as I should be, but I'm slowly getting back to that time where I used to.

>>35375996
Iqdb, Tineye, saucenao, use namedropping in the thread to make up a query, etc.
Seriously, lurk moar.

>>35375970

"nighttime /a/" starts in 5 hours or so.

>>35376030

I only made one comment and replied telling me that you would act like a immature faggot until you got what you wanted.

>>35376098
No offense, but that's quite a lot to ask of someone.

>>35376140
>immature faggot
Guess that goes for you too, huh? Oh, look we've got a problem. IGNORE IT.

>>35376144
Not really.

>>35375859
Jesus Christ, get out.

If you don't know how to use ANY of the many websites to find sauce, you're retarded. It's not fucking difficult to google the name of a character or the filename, or any of the names in a thread.

>>35376144
Not really, there's a firefox plug-in that does 3 of those things.

>>35376144

Thats how we do things here, learn to deal with it or go somewhere else.

>>35376167

How do you deal with spoiled kids? You ignore them, it wont always work, but its better than fuelling their need for attention.

Promoting elitism on an anonymous board? Better quality discussions? Even /v/ delivers sauce when it's asked for, despite hecklers. It's what nice people do and shows that there is always new blood interested in the same interests as you.

>>35376194
>didn't read the rest of the thread
trollface.jpg

Keep reading. You're almost there.

meh, newfags always dont lurk + they dont digg up in the more known sites, just ignore them or give em sauce right away, n' if you don't do it, probably there's another anon that will do it

>>35376221

See:
>>35376231

He answered it better than me. Actually, the premise of this thread is pretty good. It asks "Does providing source actually improve the board?" This question should be rephrased as a statement. "Providing source, without being asked, in the first post of a thread, improves the board.".

Some of the things people ask source for are just really stupid. Like for Sankarea you can literally type in Zombie Saten into google and bam first page of google it will have it. Even just googling "character name" manga will usually give you a good result.

You can give sauce, provided you remind them to never ask here again.

>>35376383
Except they will.

>>35376312
I think we could extend it even further. Something about looking for source, rather than asking.

>>35376312

99% sauce can be found by just reading the thread or the filename. Why should we spend our spare time on answering questions just to avoid having our discussions ruined?

going back to the question, giving souce doesn't improve the board does it?, well except we get more newfags and so more troll fun

>>35376368
In addition to easymodo. You can just plug in the thread and search for threads that used the same images. Honestly, there is no excuse.

>>35376431
Sure, assuming whoever made the first post forgot, but if you don't forget, then this isn't a problem. You've got to remember that /a/ is a community, and you have to deal with community problems in a way that solves the issue for most people. This will solve the problem, especially for oldfags that make a lot of new threads.

>>35376485

Or it gets mentioned, in the first few posts and newfags don't even bother reading through the thread, they just immediately ask for source.

I don't think this sort of behavior should be rewarded.

>>35376590
Then you have an excuse. You know who's a troll and who's not. Like I said, POST SAUCE IN THE VERY FIRST POST. It's unavoidable, even if the thread is already 300 replies long, the first post will always be there.

>>35376590
but there are some that do read the whole thread, and if they can't get it, why dont just give it to them?, it's not like it will take a lot of time

>>35376685
It's the principle of the matter

>>35375696

Ah, my mistake, I was having trouble fitting some of them in so I was dragging them between windows. I'll fix it later, thanks for the heads up.

>>35376640

Why would we want to accommodate and make room for people who we don't want here in the first place? Its better to just ignore them and hope they leave, telling faggots of has worked out in the past, its when you go soft the real shit starts happening. Just look at /b/.

>>35376791

I think you mean facebook 2.0 (Now with GETS)

>>35376054

I saw every single one of those threads.

>>35376791
Nope, not going to work. I'm telling you now. And actually, the proof that it's not working is this thread. Summer Cartographer is, despite the lack of posts in his own thread, immensely butthurt over the issue, as are many of you. You want to make this thread again a week from now? Be my guest. Don't change. Let history repeat itself. I'm fine with that because /a/ won't be dying anytime soon, but if you even remotely want to make this board better for YOU, then you'd be wise to follow my suggestions and play nice.

>>35376842

I wondered what you meant by that and clicked /b/ too see the current state of affairs. This is what I saw.

>Tampons or Pads?

>Personally, I prefer tampons.

>I don't like the feeling of the blood oozing out and the warm moist blood resting on the outside of my vagina. I bleed a lot so when it comes out in globs it feels like I peed myself and I'm wearing a diaper.

>Men/boys. I'd steer clear of this thread...

>>35376791
Elitist mode? rofl, dont just exclude them becuz they dont know shit, they might actually be trying to just know about it

>>35376942

>Elitist mode

We are elitists, got a problem with that?

>>35376859
That's because you made every single one of those posts.

'Give man a fish and he will be satisfied for the day.
Teach man to fish and he will be satisfied for life.'

Problem is, there will always be someone new who stumbles on /a/ and ask for source.

We could have had generous OP's who provide clear names or sources but we have elitists that feel good when others can't relate.

We could have had independent newcomers who can appreciate lurking and not derail a good discussion; but we have social rejects that can't do shit for themselves and in turn bother others to be spoonfed.

>>35376904


I'm just taking caps, I'm not "butthurt" (isn't this a /v/ word?).

It's just that I saw an influx of "Source!" posts and the like, then Someone said "Summer" was a myth that /a/ develops to troll itself every year, I just figured I'd catalog it.

I don't remember it being that horrible in years past, but maybe I just never really paid attention.

>>35377047
a "clap" for your comment

I provide source if the person seems nice.

For example.
"Hi, I'm looking for [blah]. Anybody happen to have it? Thanks"

Compared to
"WHERES THE REST OF THIS??" or "whats this called /a/????????"

>>35376936

It's been pretty bad for a while, and I guess it has gotten worse, last time I checked was when it went down from all the spamming and they migrated over to /x/.

Poor /x/ ;_; they were never the same.

>>35377164
actually people just say "sauce", and that's it

>>35377240

This actually pisses me of. If they took the time to write a proper fucking sentence asking kindly as to where they could find the source material I wouldn't mind telling them. Instead they just fucking write one word and expect people to immediately give them what they ask for.

>>35377338
its like a dog barking, begging for scraps

>>35377338
but just writing "sauce" they try to fit into the rest, isn't it? they're doing the same as the rest
