Sage.Protip: Make it silent.Why? Because SAGE was originally intended to be a flag you can attach to your post, and denote that YOUR post contributes nothing to the thread, as a sort of an "excuse", a way of saying, sorry guys, this is unrelated, don't mind this post. What it is now? Essentially an instant "fuck you" you can paste into the email field which serves two purposes:1) To tell someone off2) The complete opposite of its original intended purpose, because it attracts tenfold as much replies who point out that guy who just FEELS the need to type that sage into the email field. The problem could be easily solved by making sage the same as noko used to be (even though userscripts took its purpose over), a silent, completely transparent way to post in threads without a single soul knowing it. This would fix both the arguments about sage and allow for more discussion without seeing everyone spamming "hurr durr sage this shit" and smartasses who feel that putting sage in their email field makes their opinion more valuable and hard hitting.Just an idea, feel free to hate or agree.
>>6147>and they are just full of either spamThat's just world4ch and the spam is only there because no mods or janitors pay any attention to them> literally 1 guy making a post every 9 monthsI wonder how we could fix that.
>>6151It could be a cool thing to do for a week to sorta... "clean up" the userbase.WHO DO I CALL TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN
>>6137Well, I think both parties are at fault. You shouldn't choose to have a consistent identity unless it's relevant (why would you? Anonymity is awesome), but you also shouldn't whine because someone else is doing it. If anything, you're giving them exactly the sort of attention and qualification usually associated with pseudonymous/forced registration forums.Hiroyuki Nishimura wrote some great stuff about this, but I don't want to get too sidetracked.
>>6200Drop a call to 1-370-MOOTLES and we might get something.
>>6212I post anonymously all the time, and I'm perfectly fine posting that way here. Honestly, when I post with a trip, I only do it because the other side is just THAT BAD, or the trip users on that board are just THAT GOOD.I mean, I've been on plenty sites and boards where I just feel posting anonymously is the best way to get my point across, but a lot of the time, especially here on 4chan, anonymity is associated with chaos and spam.
Moot, for the love of gow, remove doubles from /a/. Why haven't you done that yet? I'm very suprised you did for /v/ and /vg/ but not /a/. The board is plagued by those threads and people constantly spam them in threads they don't like. They even created a goddamn culture around it.
>>6015No, actually they don't.Coming from /v/ it actually changed a lot after removing them.Yes, there are still people going "look at my 123910!!1" but the number of that reduced significantly.Stop always saying "they can still do XY!" when it's obvious that it helped.
>>6015Give me a single reason of why NOT to do it. What you said is not a reason. It alleviates the problems and brings no negatives. Look at the desperate people here wanting to stay. And people from /v/ making threads to bring it back.
>>4934They ruin my naruto generals waaaaa~ [spoiler];_;[/spoiler]
Dubs gets are stupid, but actually I always liked to get or check them. It feels a bit like gambling. Also it's one of the few things no other site will be able to 'steal' from 4chan.
>>4976It's very often the anonymous posters that start the shitstorm around the tripfags anyway. This was always the case, even back when taiga/lanced jack were starting shitstorms. They could start seemingly normal threads, and there'd be shitstorms regardless just because people spend more time telling tripfags why they shouldn't trip or why they're faggots and so on. Anon is basically touma.
While many of us are on the topic of improving /v/, I want to throw a plan I've been sitting on since the /vg/-/v/ split out there. First of all, I believe /v/ needs a simple, overarching ruleset:"Threads need to be at least primarily or secondarily related to vidya to exist on the board."Primarily related to vidya: Things that are directly related to video gaming, namely, Video Games themselves. Secondarily related topics: Something you can justify as being directly related in itself to some kind of videogame.Topic examples:ISPs - Related to how well you can play vidya onlineGame controllers/consoles/etc - How you play vidyaDeep Sea generals - So long as they mention underwater themed-vidya, s'coolSpace Generals - Same as above, so long as space-themed vidya is included in the topic, it relates to those videogamesHistorical period discussions - Relates to videogames set in that periodDiscussions about the story/setting of a videogame - Self explanatory, you're discussing the story of a videogame>But Anon, these rules don't make sense, you still have all the off topic stuff.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Reddit obsession on /v/ has to stop. This is really some kind of obsession. There are so many fucking thread related to reddit content every single fucking day, soemwhere it really has to stop. If you call out that shit you get redirected to reddit by some retards. Reddit is a shitty site, but it has pretty much nothing to do with /v/, it has to be fucking ignored. Instead /v/ brings reddit content to its board.This only results in off-topic threads, shitposting etc.It's really ridiculous.
It seems to me like there are a lot of differing viewpoints on /v/. Internet arguing is my hobby. I will take up a devils advocate spot on shitty vidya just to win and I do win. Some people just seem to like posting about video games.My biggest issue with /v/ is empty comments, let us say for instance somebody joins a controversial thread and says a game is fun. The post basically is nothing because there is nothing in the post. A lot of people like this for some reason though, and it seems like some people on /vg/ can talk for hours about absolutely NOTHING. I really don't see the appeal in just accepting discussion because it is vidya.
>>4527Vidya discussion is better than not vidya discussion in all cases, no exceptions.
>>4527>I really don't see the appeal in just accepting discussion because it is vidya.The reason is simple: categorization. That is why we have separate boards rather than having one super-board that could support thousands of threads at once.
The endless offtopic shitposting is the reason I left /v/, which was once one of my favourite boards. I will never understand why a board about videogames became a hotspot for threads about my little pony and the debate over penis circumcision.It seems to have improved slightly as of late at least in regards to being more about videogames, but there's still the issue of being told to fuck off to /vg/ all the time.
Why is there so much censorship on this website when someone tries to address the topic of Holocaust Revisionism ?Do you belief the holocaust happened, if so, why do you still belief it ?
>>5766Dont be so insensitive you evil Nazi!Didn't you know Moot's Jewish and lost both of his parents in the Holocaust. But seriously, It is not expectable to deny the Holocaust in the west, it's Illegal in many countries.I should Imagine it has everything to do with Moot wanting to distance 4chan from illegal activity and avoid possible litigation.Either that or 4chan is secretly run by Jews.I'm not saying I agree that it should be illegal to question the Holocaust, just that it is a reality.
>>5817You should feel bad goy! We lost 6 billion people in this drama! Nothing can bring them back.
oh will you give it a rest
>>6124why are you being so anti-semetic?
No... The evil nazis cannot have another platform to spread their HATE that is holocaust revisionism. That would be like another shoah!
Hey there Staff Members! moot.We at /co/ were discussing what needs to be done at our board (>>>/co/39575431) and we were wondering what you can do about it.#Things Suggested#>Word FiltersThough people are split on that and the ones for it are still figuring out what words to filter>Banhammer on Feminism troll threads>Somewhere to put /co/ related rule 34 >Get rid of Roasted Bread>Mandate that certain shows/comics stick to one general board at a time (Korra and Adventure Time being examples)I'm not sure if any of the staff members are going to implement this, but at least consider it
>Banhammer on Feminism troll threadsThese are legitimate discussion topics. When we shitpost and flamewar in them, that's our own fault for not knowing better.>Somewhere to put /co/ related rule 34 Sounds like a great way to receive DMCA notices.>Get rid of Roasted BreadLike Moot said, "Do not request bans for users, these will also be ignored and removed. If a user is breaking a rule, report their posts. If a user is a known ban evader, report their posts.">Mandate that certain shows/comics stick to one general board at a time (Korra and Adventure Time being examples)What ever happened to the concept of "self-moderation"?This thread is terrible.
Listen Moot all of /co/ know you're a weeaboo that never visits /co/ because you hate us. But, just hear us out for a minute. There's lot's of animu /a/ gave to /co/ and I believe these threads shouldn't be deleted. /a/ has given us One Piece, Digimon, and Big O.
Anime threads should be deleted on sight.There is a board for anime related discussion. And I know what you're going to say, "but it's Toonami!". Guess what? Posting a picture of Tom at the top then talking about TTGL for 400 posts IS NOT Toonami. It is ANIME related.The board gets tons of anime threads anyway that aren't even pretending to be anything else. It's always "I don't want to go to /a/ so I'm gonna post this here". NO, that's not how the rules work. I don't care what you think of /a/, /co/ is not for god damn anime. They always turn into shitposting anyway, with half of /co/ saying "GO BACK TO /a/!" any time someone disagree with them in any way about some anime. The threads lower board quality and I never ever see mods or janitors doing anything about the off-topic threads
>Somewhere to put /co/ related rule 34 Gosh if only there were other boards dedicated to NSFW content or even some form of website that indexed images and could be searched via a tagging function. That'd be sweet.
>>6045I agree that blatant anime threads with no /co/ connection should be gone. Either connect them with /co/-related material in some way (Goku/Superman crossover stuff I'm cool with), talk about Toonami itself in the sense of TOM, the bumpers, and its actual lineup rather than what anime you WANT on it, or just make a Digimon or Big O thread. Both of those anime are actually completely fine on /co/ if I recall correctly. Moot's said Digimon is fine on /co/ and Big O is directly connected to Toonami and had its second season produced by Cartoon Network.Or I guess you could talk about the Madhouse Marvel anime. But who even watches those.
I can't be the only one that thinks this is an issue. I hate it. I hate having the front page and the primary occupants of /tg/ being present not because they actually play any /tg/-related games, but because they want to participate in quest threads. It introduces people that aren't associated with the hobby to the board, and instead of giving them reason to learn any of the games that the board discusses, it permits them to stay by offering these people refuges in totally unrelated "storytime" threads.Quest threads are so rampant, popular, and unrelated to /tg/ at this point; they need to be given their own board. I believe this will not only encourage /tg/ to grow and generate more discussion related to its board topics, but it will also ultimately serve to help quest threads, generating more interest and curiosity in the userbase, expanding and improving it.Thoughts?
>>6086Why not use catalog then? I don't think that a text board would be effective. No one really uses them, and for the most part they are filled with spam.
>>6086>I just don't like them filling the front pageIt is an argument and issue I can confront along the lines of "So you admit that it's just, like, your opinion, man". I have shit I don't like as well. For example those constant Infinity threads, I think the aesthetics of the whole setting is ugly as shit and it gets bumped all the time. But you know, that's not a problem. It's something I don't LIKE, but that's a whole other thing. I would never suggest that Infinity shouldn't be allowed.
>>6075No. 40kid shitposters generally don't look beyond page 0.
>>6155Then a regular board similar to /vg/. It doesn't really matter what kind it is. I suggested a text board because a topic as specific as quests doesn't really merit a full on regular board, but whatever.
>>6173It was probably unintended, but I laughed at the irony. Good one, man.
Currently, the rules of /toy/ state:2. Absolutely no Japanese figurines. Action figures are permitted.I can see why this was added in the beginning, but now it merely creates more problems than it solves. We get many newcomers on /toy/ who have questions about statues, as they think that if other toys are allowed, then so are Japanese statues. Those posts are used as excuses to troll or flame. The defense of the trolling/flaming is "well, it's against the rules so it's okay for us to do so". It leads to an overall coarsening of discussion on /toy/, and drives away a lot of potential new board users. It also leads to a lot of backdoor modding and rules-related pedantry.Given that they are just plastic figures without joints, and statues from every other country are allowed, I request that rule 2 on /toy/ be removed. The specific rule against "hot glue" remains, so any really bad pictures will still be violations.By removing rule 2, a significant point of contention and trouble spot for /toy/ will be removed, while not dramatically changing the overall composition of /toy/. There are enough fans of other types of toys that it would not over-whelm discussion.Thank-you for your time and consideration.
>>5911>/toy/ is for /co/ related figures and /a/ is for anime related figures.Except that's not true- /toy/ is for toys. When it comes to action figures, all are accepted. It's just statues that have a distinction.>Bullshit, it'll just lead to /a/ being forced to post their statue threads on /toy/.I don't see why that would happen. The moderation team on 4chan doesn't have to force a change like that.But again, my primary focus is /toy/ and helping out that board.
>>5894The main issue is that the drawthreads are almost always waifu-orientated, the large majority of which originate from some form of anime or manga which is also true of statues.I dont really know why those daily Japanese learning threads took up residence in /a/, though. We have an entire (text-based) board to the subject of learning languages.
>>5911One of the "memes" from /toy/ is related to figma which are a japanese brand, that isn't true.>>5941Playing devil's advocate for a minute, statues aren't really "toys" in a strict sense, though. They're decorations, because of a lack of articulation for creative posing and what-have you. I'd say that trialling it would be a good move, but at the same time there's nothing to say the people against it wouldn't be increasingly vocal to drive it off the board, and statues are a rather large category if allowed in full force, which would drive a lot of the existing threads away which may appeal to more of the board.>>5989I believe a mod actually mentioned that the Japanese Learning threads were okay because it could give rise to more translations etc. Similar to the point I made above, they mentioned how making people go to /jp/ for those sorts of threads wasn't an option because of the hostility there (and the fact that a lot of /jp/ already know the language to a degree).
I can see this causing unnecessary drama.
>>6044>statues aren't really "toys" in a strict senseI have seen this argument, but if it is truly the case, then shouldn't western statues go to /co/? Perhaps all I am looking for is a greater consistency in the rules.I can see where you are coming from, but I think that there are enough fans of other topics to prevent statues from getting out of control. Transformers, especially, are very strong on the board.>>6123I feel that the current rule creates even more unnecessary drama, but I can understand your position. Perhaps at first the rule change would lead to an increase in trouble, but I think that over time it would lead to /toy/ becoming a more welcoming and less dramatic board (at least around the subject of statues).
Can you hire a janitor that will actually make sure the porn, the "White women love black cock" and obvious jew propoganda posts that derail threads and serious discussions get deleted and not actually bumped to a point that they flood the first page?Also if you could make sure anyone who admits to being a nigger, jew or kebab gets banned, we'd be thankful.>We're not /stormfront/ shut up
and also the spammers
>jew propagandaEverything is jew propaganda on /pol/, even the anti-jew shit. /pol/ just needs to be less full of faggotry and realize not all politics revolve around jeuden.
>SERBIA STRONK 2.0
>>6153No because a lot of faggots from reddit come there with their liberal bullshit and retards in general, that's why anti-jew threads are useful because they show people, teach them and allows them to understand how much power Zionists and Juden scum have and how they influence events around the world, their made up holocaust and their continious propoganda machine
let's say we have a wildcard board about a random topic for a week. at the end of the week we vote on /q/ or on wildcard board what topic will be in the next week. topics must be always different and can't appear before.i think it's also a good measure on how much traffic a new planned boards will generate, without having to research and hosting a totally new board
>>5181Or you could just post on a board like /r9k/...
A board like that would need to be modded so everything is strictly on topic.
Wouldn't be on topic. Constant spam just because LOL RANDUMB XDRead the sticky too, no board suggestions.
>>5202well it's not a "lel make a hannah montana board" kind of suggestion
I thought it said in the sticky that asking for a new board wasn't a good idea?
Hello. Just wondering why /tg/ doesn't have spoilers. It'd help out on storytiem threads and possibly the rampant quest threads.And if you don't want to add spoilers to /tg/ I'd like to know why.Pic is entirely unrelated.Administrator Reply: >>1335
>>2349/tg/ talks a lot about literature and stuff so actually we do need spoilers there.
>>5613...I always wondered this. How do YOU know what the silent majority want? How do spoilers HURT you?
>>5613>talks a lot aboutNo, they don't talk a lot about that.
>>5666>How do spoilers HURT you?By adding to the shitposting of the board, naturally. How often do you see spoilers actually being used when something may be spoiled? In the case of /v/, almost never.
>>2349Why are YOU on /tg/?REMOVE YOURSELF. WE DON`T NEED YOU.You are a tiny, loud minority that thinks it knows what is best for /tg/. You do not. Enjoy yourself and let other people enjoy themselves or go away. People like you ruined /tg/ in the first place.
As someone who has frequented 4chan for many years, mainly on /h/ /tg/ /e/ and /sci/, I've long since come to the conclusion that more than half of the shitposting and metathreads come from people who point out rules violations, or are otherwise trying to play pretend internet police (instead of going about their business at letting the rules violator rot.)The moment someone posts about the rules, they are in effect already shitposting and derailing the thread.If they never did, the thread would have had a significantly larger chance of recovering.In addition, since the rules are not up for debate, it doesn't open up any kind of helpful discussion, it only serves as an exclamation.The most positive quality of that kind of posting is that it reminds people of the existence of rules - but the site does that just fine by itself.I propose that bringing up the rules or trying to police any kind of behaviour on any board but /q/ becomes a serious, bannable offense, taken at least somewhat seriously by the mods. If people want to discuss the rules, they can take that discussion to /q/.While some existing rule or another might already kind of sort of maybe deal with this, I'd like to point out that making mods and janitors actually deal with this shit is half the battle.
>>4508Threads also die if people don't post in them. Threads are not permanent, AND threads don't matter when people don't see them.If you want to minimize shitty threads and metathreads and bad derails, you want to reduce the amount of time it's on page 1.You do not do so by bumping.You do not do so by reducing the chance that the thread is derailed in a fun direction (by just being a pedantic twat pointing out /reported this or Rules Violation Wah Wah that)In fact, by bumping the thread - even if you're trying to put it into autosage - you're ENSURING that that thread stays on page 1 for an extended amount of time and attracts a LOT of attention. Suddenly a lot more people are subjected to the shitthread.There's a significantly longer way to the autosage post limit compared to just waiting for someone to not bump it long enough for it to drop off page 1.It's not even just about the one thread; when you do post in a thread just to be a whining internet policeman vigilante bitch, it also contributes to a negative posting environment; everyone gets pissed off.If you just let something die, then as soon as it drops off page 1, there's almost no chance at all that anyone is going to post in . Just ask moot or whatever.Or, well, i guess not. He's probably busy doing more important stuff. My point still stands.
Sometimes a report is extreme, simply pointing out "we don't do that here" is often enough to set everyone on the straight and narrow again.It's only shitposting when you spam crap or leave no chance to learn the error.I'd like the sagebombs and spam to punching your kid in the face, he doesn't know what he did wrong, just that you're mad at him.If you take the kid and explain WHAT he did wrong, he'll hopefully stop doing that.This is mostly how we deal in /tg/ and it seems to be working alright.
>>5090OP Here.I've been on /tg/ since 2007, and i gotta say i don't agree at all.Now more than ever, we've got people posting in this thread or that thread, trying to police what content is allowed or not allowed."Quest threads aren't /tg/ related" vs. "yes they are""No nakedness on /tg/" vs. "within reason, it's fine."are some of the more legitimate discussions, and my opinion is that the janitors/mods have their opinion about these things - and that there's absolutely nothing to gain from having metadiscussion (shitposting) about it.And beyond that, you talk about sage as if it does something.Saging does nothing.And there's even people hating on things like the large amount of DH threads or WH40K threads, saging the threads and flipping their shit all over the place. Saging does not make a retarded post legitimate somehow, just because you also express some sort of implicit wish for the thread to die. You're still just being a cunt, stepping out of line, when ultimately you have no say on how the board is run, and you have no power to enforce your opinion. You're not a mod. You're not a janitor.You are just a visitor, and you just posted a shitpost. You most likely pissed off the person you replied to, so that's a guaranteed bump. And then if someone else jumps in, that's where the ball starts rolling.Better if you didn't.Not posting in reply, but simply reporting, creates the possibility that the thread might fall off the front page or get deleted.Saging, whining, policing, or announcing you reported something just causes rage and derailment.
>>4248this is against the rules faggotsit has NOTHING to do with pokemon
Should this be allowed on /sci/?>>>/sci/4928286
Did you ever think about adding more /b/'s? Like, /b/1, /b/2 and so on? Maybe cut the noise down ever so slightly? Let things come into focus more easily.This would, be a better solution than just adding 30 more pages to /b/, because theoretically, you could "main" one. >"I main /b/2, mostly."Also, I get this feeling that intra-board gamesmanship might spur a wave of creativity. And that's always good.
Help us take back /r9k/ from the whiners and misogynists, and you'll have basically what you're looking for. A NSFW board with no topic, that has built-in cancer protection.Only major difference is that Global Rule #3 currently applies to /r9k/>>>/r9k/
Not really a "new board" request per se, so maybe it'll fly?A lot of high-traffic boards like /a/ and /b/ tend to have particular "generations" of posters that don't get along very well, like the '08 or so /b/ that did political activism or the old-/a/ exodus to /jp/. Why not bring back multiple server names and silently switch the front page link to the same letter on a different server every time there's a lot of tension like that, letting the old users with it bookmarked have their own thing while the newer users get directed to a fresh board on the same topic?
What am I looking at here?
is there anyway to get all of the porn off /b/? there are boards like /s/ and /hc/ where it should be but people seem to just flood /b/ with dumps. pic unrelated
/b/ is for the random stuff which doesn't fit anywhere else is how i always saw it, there are boards for porn but it gets put on /b/ when /s/ ad /hc/ are left dry.
also, there needs to be a /dg/ or dickgirls board as the trap threads on /b/ have gone beyond a joke now.igger dsubler
I was just thinking of this. It would definitely improve the quality of the board if sick, defile, Jewish pornography was illegalized, but it's /b/ so it's supposed to be shit anyway. I'd support such a move for other boards, however.
im not so much suggesting a new board, but perhaps a feature where upon mods can move a thread (like in forums) could be considered, although i doubt t would work due to the way 4chan is set up.
you're complaining about what content is on /b/.serious?it's /b/. That's why people love it, you post whatever the fuck you want to and talk about whatever you want to no matter how retarded it is.either keep going on there and stand all the shit you don't like or stop going on there.
Moot can you do something about the Interracial porn and cuckold spam on /pol/ please.
fuck you stormfront scum
Just make /pol/ SFW already.Nobody comes to /pol/ for the fucking porn.
>>4914Well a lot of news stories have "gore" in them.
>>4858I'm related to jews you stupid asshole.
>>4808Incorrect! See >>>/pol/4706069Specifically the picture I posted. We only posted a few pictures AFTER the claim was made to make our point. The stormers started posting gore because they thought we were "spamming them".
