The on topic threads on any board are full of trolls, you have to go away from the proper board to get a good discussion on this website.

When you pick and choose what off-topic BS is okay to post here you are policing the board with muh culture rather than following the established guidelines put in place by the administrator.
Try going to any other forum on the internet and posting in the wrong topic and the post will be moved because they actually give a shit, but here you post off-topic simply because you can get away with it.
In short, you are shitposters and this tired argument has to go.

He doesn't want to bump the thread. That's what sage is for.

It's for not bumping. You use it when you don't want to bump for whatever reason.

>>29169221
yeah but fucking weeaboos man. Such faggots.

>>29169600
no but it prevents shit threads from being bumped
at least on /a/ shit threads are sages while /g/ talks continuously about the same shit

>>29169643
And every post in response that isn't will make entirely pointless.

It's almost as if you shouldn't reply at all to threads you don't like! Or report them if they're actually breaking rules.

Instead of posting in a thread that you don't like and putting sage in the email field, wouldn't it make much better sense to just not post in the thread?

>>29169643
That's what nokosage is for. You don't have to announce your sage, because doing so is the same as shouting "Hey, fuck you!" which doesn't contribute anything and constitutes shitposting.

It may function the same way, but the cultural trappings of sage on English imageboards are wholly different. I never suggested using it like the Japs do.

I just said it didn't downvote anything.

>>29169703
Sage isn't meant to be used like that all that does is encourage others to post in the thread. If a thread is shit don't post in it.

>>29169567
>you now realize
>now
I realized that the first time I ever went to /g/.

>>29169643
When expecting other people will post in the thread regardless of your sage post, and especially when your post will likely trigger a response, there's no point in saging. It's become especially useless on faster-paced boards.

>>29169385
I dont bitch about anything. Ive been coming to this website since 2004 and ive never once thought there should be any sort of moderation anywhere. Its moderation that ruins things. It is the open and organic nature of 4chan that allows it to thrive.

>It is the open and organic nature of 4chan that allows it to thrive.
