don't post non-moe anime in /a/
problem solved

Your image basically summed it up.

Learn to deal with it or go somewhere else.

You posted the solution.
If Naruto threads bother you don't read them.
Naruto is an anime and a manga(it pains me but it is) so it is okay to discuss on /a/.

I may not enjoy Naruto, but as long as it's contained in their own non-frequent threads it doesn't bother me. It's when people have continuous threads about any of the Big 3 that it becomes a nuisance. Thankfully, that hasn't been a problem for a long time.

>>4951

>Can something be done about this?

No. /a/ doesn't like Naruto and doesn't want to talk about Naruto. You'll have to go somewhere else.

Naruto (and Elven Lied and other entry-level weeaboobait shit) threads are actively repelled from /a/ because they attract an audience that /a/ seeks to avoid. There are enough places on the internet to discuss Naruto in all manners and forms and the only way to seriously discuss it on /a/ is talking about its inconceivable treasure of flaws. It's universally found to be so incredibly shit that any "good" discussion is invariably perceived to be trolling and/or conducted by underage children.

I can't believe I have to spell this out for you. Lurk more, get a better taste, or just do yourself a favour and gb2>>>/gaia/

On a side not, I propose that >>>/gaia/ and >>>/reddit/ actively link to the respective websites; it will lower the treshold for shitposters to actually try these alternatives and increase the chances of them (even if only temporarily) leaving.

We have that Naruto pasta for a reason. Naruto doesn't belong on /a/.

>>4975
>>4987
I know.

But what can we do about those who refuse to follow the advice given by moot in that post?

>>5143
Where do you think we are?
Wake up and smell the coffee; The shitposters and normalfags are already on /a/. How do you think this is going to make them leave or stop them from going to /a/?

>>5219
Really? How does it not belong on /a/?

>I propose that >>>/gaia/ and >>>/reddit/ actively link to the respective websites
I fell out of my chair laughing

Seriously though, I'm torn; I want /a/ to be a less shitty place, but my freedom-loving nature says that all anime, even shit anime that you or I don't like, should be allowed. Unfortunately, /a/ has a problem with people who lose their shit about other people watching anime they personally don't like. Even if most of these are trolls, it is a true fact that different anime communities on the internet DO swing different ways when it comes to taste. Even if I think any anime and manga should be fair game, what makes it special is the fact that there are a large number of voracious, indiscriminate consumers of all of the contemporary shows; that's something that almost no other English-language anime community can boast, and it would be a huge blow to a lot of us who are part of that group to lose it.

I feel for the people who want to discuss older or less popular shows, or manga in general, but I feel a lot less for them when all they ever contribute to /a/ is the repetitive drone of "It's shit, It's shit, your favorite anime is shit, I'm not even watching it but I know that it's shit because I saw a picture of it and there was a girl."

Come to think of it, Elfen Lied threads are treated pretty much the same way.

I don't think I've ever seen an Elfen Lied thread with actual discussion about its plot. All replies to seem to call it shit, emo, loledgy or whatever.

No. That shit is fucking trash. You're, in essence trying to enforce shitty newgrounds flashes on /v/.

>>5380
I'd perhaps agree with you if you said /f/ instead of /v/.

>>5143

Maybe that excuse was viable 5 years ago, but everyone and their mother avoids 4chan because we're a "pedophile site that makes kids cry". Newfags don't come here anymore.

I say this as a Naruto fan since I was 12, the autistic side of my fellow fans avoids 4chan like the plague.

I just want to discuss the asspulls, hackjobs, and babes. I can't do that on forums because you'll get banned for disagreeing with others, and theirs names, and signatures, and ohgod people who can't spell right and have obnoxious signatures.

Plus the fucking shipping.

>>5224
>Wake up and smell the coffee; The shitposters and normalfags are already on /a/. How do you think this is going to make them leave or stop them from going to /a/?

It's going to, or at least limit them. We're not promoting and encouraging the shit they like. If we accept it, gaia faggotry will will flood in.

>>5445
>I can't do that on forums because you'll get banned for disagreeing with others, and theirs names, and signatures, and ohgod people who can't spell right and have obnoxious signatures.

That's exactly the point, do you want those people to come here? You're pouring sugar on the floor and expecting the roaches not to come in.

>>5445
>Newfags don't come here anymore.
There's plenty of them, they just come from other boards on 4chan instead of other websites.

The spammers are right. If it wasn't for them billions of /b/ narutard would end up in /a/ and the whole board would just die.

/a/ is still a good board solely because of those spammers, those that recommend BNP to obvious newfag, etc
It's the same for Elfen Lied, One Piece and every other mainstream trash.

Of course if you aren't retarded you can still talk about it, make good use of the filter.

>>5445

>Newfags don't come here anymore.
I wish you were right.

>>5478

Those people are sheep, they LIKE that controlled environment because e-peen stroking.

>ban discussion on one of the most popular anime because i don't like what i read there

go back to reddit

All of those threads are pure trolling either way but /a/ being the idiots that they are repeatedly take the bait. It's not hard to distinguish between people who want to genuinely discuss the subject and people trying to get a rise out of it. Get a jan who can discern between the two. I honestly don't give give a shit if someone wants to discuss naruto since I put it on the same level as bleach or one piece which are all regularly discussed on /a/.

>>5497
>>5490

Protip: Most newfags are just ironic shitposters trying to "rustle the jimmies".

I think we should split the anime boards even further.

As elitist as /a/ wants to be there shouldn't be any topics you flat out can't discuss on 4chan

we don't like naruto in /a/ for the same reason we wouldn't want mlp in /a/ even if there was an anime adaptation, we prefer to avoid attracting the unsavory type of people who gravitate towards those things.

>>5478
And you're promoting flooding threads about anime you don't like with shitposting.

I doubt people who enjoy their power, reputation, post count or whatever would like it here on 4chan.

>>5497
I can filter the pasta fine, but what the other shitposting? Tell me how I can filter every single dubs/decs/singles post.

>>5570
See OP's image. moot doesn't want that.

>>5570

Split /a/ into /ca/- Casual Anime, and /a/ - Flavor of the Month

>>5604
>/ca/- Casual Anime

You already have /v/ for that.

>>5570
yeah cause that worked out so well 4 years ago

>>5251
It's easy to discuss older or less popular shows on /a/ as long as you actually have something to discuss. You can't just say, "I watched this. Discuss."

>>5497
>/a/ is still a good board

By infecting other boards around it with off topic stuff they don't like because they can't man up and ignore a thread.

It's every board's job to contain some of the cancer to prevent it from spreading to other boards. Just as /v/ and /co/ still allows the discussion of casual games and cartoons except when things get so bad a separate board is required. There needs to be a place for discussion of casual anime as well

/co/ got /mlp/, /v/ got /vp/ and /vg/. /a/ needs /sj/

>>5597

Yet you condone Madoka thread after Madoka thread?

Talk about hypocritical.

>>5620
>we don't want to discuss casual anime so we're going to suggest you go to another board and post off topic shit

>>5604
But then what about discussions of old shows? When do 'Flavor of the Months' stop being exactly that? Not to mention manga, which doesn't fall into either category.

I get what you're trying to do but it's an unnecessary split. People make more threads about new anime because they're exactly that, but threads about old series are usually fairly successful. People just get mad if they don't get tons of replies ie Evangelion threads because we've already discussed all the old shows to hell and back.

>>5601
>And you're promoting flooding threads about anime you don't like with shitposting.

Whoa whoa, are you trolling? I'm strongly against shit posting; just because someone dislikes your favorite anime doesn't mean they're the cancer killing /a/.

>>5633
If I were to make a thread about the coming Naruto chapter of this week, with a paragraph discussing and speculating about the developments in the chapter, I am sure I would be met with nothing but copypasta and shitposting.

>>5642
Have you been on /a/ lately? We barely get Madoka threads anymore. Just because you hate 'moeshit' doesn't mean it doesn't belong on /a/

>>5689
Do you contribute to flooding Naruto threads with copypasta or whatever, then?

Do you want there to be an offical rule against "gateway" anime on /a/ then?

>>5721

Just because you hate 'mainstream anime' doesn't mean it doesn't belong on /a/.

>>5642

Speak for yourself.

You weren't even here when Madoka aired.

>>5713
So what? If the people on /a/ don't want to talk about Naruto, you can't fucking force them to. Other threads get shit up to. Welcome to fucking 4chan, learn to deal with the way people post here, or FIND ANOTHER WEBSITE THAT IS MORE CONDUCIVE TO THE TYPE OF DISCUSSION YOU WANT TO HAVE.

Caps not because I am angry, but for emphasis. When someone is told to go to reddit or gaia or animesuki or /v/, it's really a helpful suggestion that will cause that person less grief in the future.

>>5751
How is making a thread about Naruto forcing people to talk about it? You can just ignore/hide the thread if you don't like it.

I don't condone other types of threads being shit up, either.

>>5751
> If the people on /a/ don't want to talk about Naruto, you can't fucking force them to.

And if people do want to discuss Naruto you can't force them not to either.

Even reveling in how terrible it is gets shit on now.

The mods either need to establish a rule that Naruto discussion isn't allowed on 4chan or tell people who want to discuss it what board it's allowed on.

You have 120931902 other websites to talk about Naruto in

>BUT I DON LIKE USERNAMES

Sorry.

>>5739
Did I say I hate mainstream anime? No, I didn't. Surprise surprise, I actually can enjoy different types of shows and hide the threads of the ones I don't.

>>5781
>you can't force them not to either.

And I didn't.

What's your point?

>>5733
No, I ignore and hide shit I don't like. Stop fucking trolling by implying things I never said.

Naruto isn't the problem, it's the newfags and shit posting. If banning naruto/big 3 threads will solve the problem, I will gladly accept the solution.

>>5745
well if memory serves me right most of madoka was contained in thread chains.

someone make a thread about digimon on /a/ right now and see what happens

>>5794
There are plenty of other websites to talk about anything on 4chan on.

I just want a place where you can laugh at how terrible it is with out a bunch of teenagers flipping out at you.

Part of the appeal of 4chan is that it's rarely a circlejerk wen popular things are discussed

>>5823

But /a/ does laugh at how terrible it is.

And you want them to laugh somehow else?

>>5809


Which mostly discussed about the show itself, SPECULAH and shit.

What was your point again?

The biggest problem here IS NOT whether Naruto threads should be "allowed".

The biggest problem with the Naruto threads is that they have attracted fucking DOZENS of shitposters and doublesfags. These shitposters don't just disappear when the Naruto thread gets deleted, they just go and shit up other threads

Being fucking stupid about it doesn't solve fucking anything. Let them talk about their shitty ninjas who gives a fuck? The people derailing the threads are the ones killing the board, not some anon who wants to talk about how DARK sasuke is

>>5804
I'm sorry if you felt that I accused you of doing such a thing then.

I want to say that banning the big 3 will become a slippery slope.

>>5776
>>5781
It's not forcing anything, but if you say that
>all I would be met with are copypasta and shitposting
you're admitting that you're complaining because people on /a/ do not want to talk about the things you want to talk about.

Like I said, other threads and other series get shit up too by people who don't like them. Report the rule-breaking posts and talk about what you want. If in the end there is no discussion, then don't get mad that the people around you don't want to talk about it.

>>5804
and if you're going to ban them then it's only fair to give people another board to discuss them instead.

Look at how much /mlp/ helped the pony problem.

Why can't /a/ get behind that?

OP, I think you're just going to have to deal wit hit.

Naruto is shit by the way.

>>5840
I lost track of which thread was linking to which
I thought you were the other guy

so is this the defacto state of /a/ thread or should someone make a new thread just for that?

>>5781
Technically spam isn't forcing them not to.
It's really only forcing if threads got deleted on sight.
Spam is only a deterrent.

>>5850
I'm complaining about people thinking it's okay to fill such threads with shitposting just because they don't like the anime in question.

>>5864
It's shit.

>>5849
Banning the big three is a fucking stupid idea anyway. NAruto threads are the only ones that devolve into shit posting. The Bleach and One Piece threads I see are just people talking. Why would you ban that? That's absolutely terrible

>>5835
Their "laughing" is just spamming copypasta and doubles under the paranoia that any thread criticizing Naruto is done out of reverse psychology as if everybody on Narutofan is lurking /a/ waiting for a Naruto thread of any kind to dive into.

I still read for the sake of seeing how it ends but still like going to /a/ to discuss a particularly shitty plot twist when it comes up.

>>5884
The spammers on /a/ are dedicated enough to ruin any potential discussion.

Especially since Naruto threads aren't nearly as popular as /a/ is afraid they are

You are not attacking the main problem which that the users act as it they entertainment depended on the opinion of other(BAAAW I CAN'T ENJOY THIS BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESN'T BAAAW ) and their obsession with subjective things as taste and quality.

The sad thing is, I've seen threads on /co/ about Naruto that were reasonable and polite while discussing the characters and how the recent shit makes no sense. /a/, on the other hand, thinks mentioning Naruto in passing means it's time to rev up the dubs and copypasta.

>hurr then go 2 /co/ 2 discuss it

That's not the point. The point is that trying to discuss something completely on-topic, following the rules of the board shouldn't be met with the anger of a thousand Koreans who think you insulted Starcraft.

Fuck off to Gaia, retards. There's plenty of space for you to discuss your favorite kiddy anime over there.

>>6003

>I've seen threads on /co/ about Naruto that were reasonable and polite while discussing the characters and how the recent shit makes no sense.

As someone who used to go to /co/ that REALLY fucking concerns me

>>6003
I really wish for just one day every board would just flood /a/ with it's least favorite topic just to make a point.

People from /v/ posting CoD, /co/ posting Korra, etc.

>>6056
so /co/ doesn't like Korra

>>6003
It shouldn't, but it is, and there's nothing to be done about it save for applying for the janitor position yourself and hoping you get it.

Dedicated moderation is the only solution to this "issue", and unless one of you gets in a position of authority I suggest you simply go to another site.

>>6073
NO NOT AT FUCKING ALL

Tumblr girls came in from outside and now half the board is dedicated to Korra shipping. /co/ declined in quality is a very observable way once Korra started.

You had Bleach. Bleach used to be treated pretty much the same way, but it died down, because nobody takes it seriously anymore. Really NOBODY, even in forums and shit it's a really small minority. That's why Bleach threads are cool now.

Naruto never got like that, and it never will. It still has a strong and stupid fanbase that WILL come to /a/ if it believes /a/ is a place to discuss Naruto. And I really believe we should keep it away.

so do you guys just hate the show or just hate the kind of people it attracts?

>>6161
Both.

>>6140
Like I said you people are completely paranoid. It's not even close to what it once was. With Toonami dead its fanbase is done expanding

>>6161
Both. But Naruto shouldn't be avoided because it's bad.

>>6161
The biggest concern that I think a lot of people have is that outside of /a/ the Naruto fanbase is one of the most cancerous disgusting fanbases there is.

People think that if Naruto threads are allowed on /a/ then THOSE people will start migrating to the board and then everything will go to shit.

If it weren't for the fanbase I don't think this many people would be opposed to NAruto threads

File: 1344440260857.jpg-(182 KB, 1044x1500, sexy-swimwear-anime-babes-007.jpg)

It's not the anime themselves. It's the people who it brings to /a/.

File: 1344440301416.jpg-(2 KB, 127x127, 1312215261676.jpg)

Sure is cancer in here.

>>6113
does /co/ hate the show in of itslef or just hate the kind fanbase that gravitates to it?

meant
>>6161
to quote you and for some reason I can't delete that post.

>>6140
That fanbase isn't going to leave their insular communities where everyone actually likes it and they can circlejerk. Especially not to a website filled with people who hate it, and that doesn't have all the forum bullshit they love.

>>6238
So you think we should ban an anime from being discussed on /a/ because of its fanbase?

>>6265
Who else would you discuss an anime with? THE FANBASE.

>>6210
Other boards allow discussion from equally cancerous fanbases with little problem.

/a/ is the only board paranoid enough to care

>>6271
The community.

>>6252
I think the majority of /co/ had some kind of issue with how Korra was handled, but the tumblr fanbase definitely doesn't help matters. The Korra threads have died down considerably though.

>>6272
Yeah becasue that worked out so well for /v/... oh wait it's basically /b/ these days. Well then there's /co/ everyone loves ponies right?

>>6319
Off-topic threads belonging in /b/ made /v/ like that.

But there's a dedicated thread to /v/ for that.

>>6319
Final Fantasy has a pretty awful fanbase yet discussion goes well.

The company fanboys manage to cancel each other out.

Off topic stuff has little to do with a specific fanbase

And the really bad fanbases got their own boards which is a concept /a/ can't seem to comprehend

>>6368
>And the really bad fanbases got their own boards which is a concept /a/ can't seem to comprehend
/a/ has had that experience already actually. I think /a/ is more worried about not letting it get that bad so it has to happen again.

If that's the case, why do they think their "vigilantism" is the answer and does work?

>>6417
the last time it happened, the new board was made for the vigilantes

>>6417
>why do they think their "vigilantism" is the answer
To be honest I don't know, they spam threads they don't like I guess it's just the easiest thing to do when the mod/janitor doesn't delete the thread. It does seem to discourage legitimate threads but at the same time it encourages troll threads and shitposters who avatarfag in every thread.

>does work?
Seems to keep out gaia posters. Not much else good comes from it though.

File: 1344441825141.jpg-(51 KB, 554x439, sigh.jpg)

>>6536
It would be easier to just ignore the threads and not enable the OPs.

>But then we allow those people to stay and then those people will bring in more of their kind and then...

>>6536
>gaia posters.

Nobody even goes there anymore. Why is /s/ still so scared of them?

Can you even report people who derail threads with copypasta and dubs?

>>6618
It's not necessarily gaia /a/ is scared of it's just people that act like that, basically youtube level comments. Anyone that acts in an overly obnoxious way gets hated on /a/.

>>6664
People that stupid stay over at narutofan or /v/.

They don't lurk /a/ waiting for a Naruto thread to pop up.

I genuinely believe that if you stopped with the doubles (I honestly can't imagine /a/'s reaction if they got the /v/ treatment here) and copypasta and just replied to their threads with thought out reasons as to why Naruto is shit their need for a circlejerk would have them gone before you know it

>>6691
>just replied to their threads with thought out reasons as to why Naruto is shit their need for a circlejerk would have them gone before you know it
There's already have a copypasta for it. Unfortunately, nobody is listening because OH BUT I CAN STILL TALK ABOUT NARUTO BECAUSE IT'S STILL AN ANIME

>>6645
Yes. And depending on what time of day it is, they sometimes even get deleted.

this is like talking about CoD on /v/. while it is vidya it is also casual cancer and most of /v/ hate it. Should it be allowed?

>Hate X
>Derail thread about X, and continously bump it
What an eyesore.

>>6745
Again, there's a dedicated /v/ thread, but I think /b/-shit threads should be focused on first.

>>6711
Because you resort to copypasta your points get ignored. Spamming just makes it look like it's just one butthurt /a/non who hates Naruto.

Don't give up so soon. Getting rid of them the sane way would involve much less shitposting than spamming doubles every week until the end of the series.

>>6776
>I can't hide a thread
Good to know

>>6711
>PUTTING SOMETHING IN CAPITAL LETTERS DOESN'T MAKE IT WRONG

And you're an idiot if you think the ones posting in those Naruto threads are the cancerous Naruto fans you're so afraid of. It's all shitposters, reverse trolls, and people who already frequent /a/.

>>6806
>I must derail a thread I don't like instead of hiding it.
Good to know.

>>6816
>I must tolerate cancer-attracting thread instead of actively moderating it
Okay, sure

>>6855
>I must instead replace it with the far greater cancer know as Doubles

The only way you're ever going to fix /a/ is to bring in a militant janitor/mod that does not let up until the edgy teens that have infected this board lately either change their arrogant, elitist "I run this board" attitude or just flat-out leave.

It's not just Naruto. Most the threads on /a/ get infected with that garbage.

>>6874
>I am not a resourceful person who can't use board numbers against a thread

You no value for /a/, please kill yourself.

If /a/ used Faptcha, all our problems would be solved, given that the backend had a sizable database of characters.

>nurutu

A good example of an average Naruto thread is now alive.

>>>/a/69804788

Naruto and Bleach should be banned, One Piece is okay, because the fans are being kept in one place only and the threads are not so frequent, usually the weekly release thread and sometimes a retard creates a thread about it but it's not so popular usually.

Naruto and Bleach are just trollbaits on /a/, One Piece has always been "acceptable" there, even 4chan itself has like 5 One Piece banners while Bleach has like 2 ironic and making fun of the series banners and Naruto even has the usual copypasta bomb banner, lol.

Speaking of which, permanent ban for Park Ranger and French Bread would be great too.

>>7016
I might be wrong, but couldn't you just refresh until you get a character that you recognize? That doesn't seem like a very effective deterrent.

File: 1344444217818.jpg-(801 KB, 1456x1107, porkbanger.jpg)

>>7040
Park Ranger's already been proven to ban evade like a motherfucker

>>7040
>One Piece is okay, because the fans are being kept in one place only and the threads are not so frequent

Haha, talk about being delusional.

>>7041
Right but if the amount of characters is sizable enough, an entry level shithead would have to refresh for a long time until they find a character they know. The amount of time inbetween posting would eventually discourage newfags.

>>7095
>entry level shithead
People like you are the reason this board has gone to hell.

>>7040
>Permanent ban for Park Ranger and French Bread
Did you even read the giant message at the top of the page? I won't deny they are among the worst tripfags to ever exist on /a/ though.

>>6140
>It still has a strong and stupid fanbase that WILL come to /a/ if it believes /a/ is a place to discuss Naruto. And I really believe we should keep it away.

You act like spraying shit over the board to keep it out is better than having it in there: protop, it isn't.

There are several popular anime series I dislike, what do you do? Hide the thread and keep scrolling. Grow the fuck up. If the audience you fear does come to 4chan as a result (ha ha ha) then you ban the emoticon spamming illiterates.

>>7041
You can. It also doesn't do the best job of recognizing names that aren't exact.
>>7095
In the end, you're just going to have an external guide or tool that even people who frequent the place will use to make their lives easier.

I dare you to show me an active One Piece thread.

There's a Bleach and Naruto thread on right now.

>>7095
But it would have to be made so that they are characters the vast majority of /a/ would recognize even if they haven't watched that show.

I for one have a terrible time remembering the names of characters in anime, even if it's currently airing and I'm currently watching it. This would be a real bother for me.

Isn't shit like Cowboy Bebop more hazardous to /a/'s health? You know, the shit /v/ proclaims as 'DA ONLY GOOD ANIMEH'. I think that brings more obnoxious and jingoistic newfags.

They wouldn't know a good anime series if it hit them in the arse. Go to naruto-boards because those moe loving faggots are too childish.

>>7155
My point is that the fans are usually gathering for the weekly release discussion and leave after the day is over while leaving the thread to die behind. They're obnoxious whey someone trolls their series, yes, but I don't see any troll threads and spam from them on the board.

Naruto and Bleach on the other hand...

Naruto is a gateway anime of the worst kind. It's a bad series, a clusterfuck of story and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive shipping faggotry and DARKNESS. The normal anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad. However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The superpowered characters all trying their hardest to look cool, the jutsus, peculiar, colorful clothes, the whole ninja faggotry and everything about the Naruto world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the pity-party character backgrounds, emphasis on revenge, and overall preachiness of the series make it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up. Naruto is basically THE series to attract the most hated anime fanbase known to /a/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this show and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Naruto threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here.

>Naruto
>Good shounen
There are good shounen series, but Naruto is definitely not amongst them.

>>7184
It would be a problem if /v/ didn't hate /a/ like /a/ hates /v/. The only "entry level kiddies" from /v/ you see on /a/ is your fellow boardmates trolling you.

>>7184
Those are mostly idiots, though. Most boards have a healthy mix of people knowledgeable of anime (mostly because /a/ itself is a big board which leads to a lot of overlap) and new people trying to get into it but put off by /a/'s "elitism". You can get some really nice anime discussions off of /a/, even on /v/ from time to time.

>>7206
Except it is. Good music, good fights, and an enjoyable universe and characters. But let's stay on topic here.

>>7220
It's like you haven't read the Nurutu past like 40th chapter.

>>7229
It's gold until the end of the Pain arc. The Zabuza arc and Kakuzu/Hidan arcs were amazing in particular.

Meanwhile, over in the "Banning doubles for /a/" thread...

Wow

>>7349

Janitors sometimes clean up Naruto threads, but very rarely. It's much more often that they clean up Bleach and One Piece threads.

Nurutu has no place on /a/ much like CoD has no place on /v/.
Deal with it babbies.

>>8106
You're a shitposter and you have no place on 4chan at all.

Naruto has no place in /a/, take it to Narutofan fuckers.

>>8375
You truly and honestly need to be permanently banned. Get out.

>>8425
You can have your naruto thread, but it will always be spammed with pasta and dubs, so go right ahead, talk about that shitty series. You're just going to have to deal with the dubs.

In regards to Naruto as well, haters are the majority and the people that like it are in the minority.

>>8500
The people who spam the threads, however, are in the vast minority.

>>8466
please see >>7349

>>8603
moot can say that as much as he fucking wants, banning the people doing it isn't going to change shit because there will be 12 more right behind him ready to shit on the thread, just go somewhere else fucktards, take the fucking hint, the board doesn't want you around.
You're NEVER going to get to discuss Naruto on /a/ as long as the current posters are there.

>>8603
Funny because someone was actually banned on /a/ for liking Naurto before.

>>8652
More than just one, there have been many bans for liking Naruto.

>>8665
This whole thread is fucking pointless, then.

>>8652
>>8665
One incident years ago. The moderator got chewed out.

Naruto threads were huge and plentiful then, too.

>>8633
Nope. Naruto spam started mid-2010. If anything, the people doing it are newfags. We just need better moderation.

>>8676
Exactly, the Narutards are in the minority here, the community is overwhelmingly against discussion of naruto on /a/, there is a choice few of you that think you're going to change something by continuing making threads for it and it isn't going to work.

>>8699
The pasta that always gets spammed in Naruto threads was created in 2008 and spammed ever since then, it did not start in 2010.

>>8706
If you want moderation by majority then fuck off to
>>>reddit

>>8706
No, it isn't. The haters are a small minority of spammers, and 4chan as a whole hates spammers.

>>8721
You don't get it man, you're fighting a battle you can't win, the people that don't like it out number you so much it really isn't even worth discussing. And on /a/ it's the majority that set the community, not you.

>>8699
>2010
No. And even before that it was always looked down upon greatly.
