Moot should experiment with a new instaban fliter.

Phrases that have become too commonplace and old meme should get someone banned.
-"OP is a faggot"
-"rate my uncle"
-"rate my wife"
- "ask a straight guy who sucked...."

Something that stimulates O.C. merely doing that for a few days or weeks will put posters in a new frame of mind.

also, give trapfags their own board, i am sick of sifting through that shit. They have multiple threads at all times to the point it doesn't fit a "random" board.

<here are the most replied to threads right now on /b/.

a lot of shit.


None of this is to say that /b/ had a golden age....I don't even care...i just think it could be a more original and enjoyable than it is without losing its original character.

I think everyone can agree that "Forced Anon" ID's and catalog mode make /b/ a lot more palatable than before.

<While I am here, I'll admit that I am the person who starts these threads a 1 or 2 nights per week.

when they are done right, they serve as a great source of O.C. Sometimes you even get gifted subtle trolls.

Only recently have I been seeing copycats.

Now usually i wouldn't care about people trying my threads when I'm not around, but when other people s start the threads, they generally allow shitposting that I wouldnt allow.

(at least by ignoring the shitposting).

<These should = instabans too, if only for an hour.

It doesn't take skill if you google for words that rhyme.

I was OP. My main points:

We need mods and admins that actively go on /b/ and patrol it. The cancer should be stopped. Threads that should end:

- Misplaced threads (They have other boards more suitable, such as MLP threads)
- "Post ending in x"
- "Dubsnubs!"
- Bot GETs
- Risk threads
- YLYL
- YRYL
- "Rate my x"

Threads that could generate OC and huge amounts of activity:

- Photoshop contests
- Good OC
- Small-time raids (Survey raids, etc)

Anyway, discuss.

who gives a shit about your stupid memes and "OC" bullshit

get a life, nerds

oh and "hacking" those signs on the road or whatever isn't hardcore

>>652050
YLYL is ok because ideally, someone will post something new.

same deal with the historic/interesting images threads: often you get reposts, BUT if the OP sets a rule like "CHALLENGE MODE: no war images today", you begin to get different submissions....some content that is new to /b/.

Any GETs or numbers games should be banned, but they've always been here that would be hard to deal with.

>>652077
>who gives a shit about your stupid memes and "OC" bullshit

Well, you're here on the /q/ board for some reason. You must care something about 4chan.

>>652111
nope, hate you all

why don't you just shut up about your nerd shit and come suck my little dick

Think about this, too:

Every day that new users come and see these cancer threads on the front page, it makes the people who like those kind of threads stay. That means that the new community of /b/ will enjoy YLYL, cancer, and other general faggotry. If you don't squash the retardation at the root, it will grow into a forest.

So, by not dealing with /b/'s cancer problem, it's spreading a horrible and cancer-worthy community to the rest of 4chan in general.

>>652129
I just think that you start by banning carbon copy threads that go way back.

And by carbon copy, I mean the exact same starting post "You fucking pussy britfags....Rugby<Football".

It would become more complicated when dealing with things like fingerbox threads....because there is still room to craft a good fingerbox thread.

>>652192

Fingerbox threads aren't cancer, they're a funny way to trick newer people into asking what fingerboxes are. It's not the same as the people who go "LOL LOOK A CARTOON PICTURE OF USA SHITTING INTO EUROPE'S MOUTH", which is just stupid.

>>652257
I like fingerbox threads where the people posting the pics and discussing the fingerboxes never actually say the word fingerbox, because that makes people even more likely to ask about it.

I have never ever seen anyone fall for a fingerbox thread. It's retarded newfag shit.

It's been doing this since 06/07.

There is no stopping the cancer now, it's metastasized and infected the lymph nodes.

Moderation on /b/ now is just as you'd expect, Palliative Care.

What is the music that's playing on /b/ right now? I quite enjoy it.

>>652722

It used to be a theme from Metal Gear Solid, I'm not quite sure what the arabic music is though.

>>652641

Yeah, I'd have to agree with that sadly. It's still possible to stop it though, we just need at least a BIT of moderation and administration of /b/, just like the other boards get.

>>653075
Well, I'm totally in love with the Arabic music. I hope somebody knows.

A lot of the points brought up in this thread are surprisingly good... Bumping in hopes that someone will see this.

>we just need at least a BIT of moderation and administration of /b/, just like the other boards get.

/b/ is the largest and fastest board on 4chan. You could spend HOURS moderating it and when you went to sleep/work/eat it would fill up with shit again.

Also, OP, WT Snacks was a lazy asshole and a shitty coder. He's only liked as a mod because he would publicly ban and attention whore which made idiots like him and keep carrying on his legacy as TEH SAVIOR OF /b/!!1111 that idiots like you who weren't there eat up.

Face it, /b/ is dead and there is no saving it. Don't believe me? Look at threads on /q/ where people are arguing for dubs to be enabled on the board again. One poster even said "but it doesnt matter what is posted on /b/, its the random board." When your userbase cares little about quality and just wants to roll, fap or troll; your board will always be shit an no amount of moderation will fix it.

As moot said on the subject, the change will have to come from the users. There really isn't shit mods can do. Deleting all of the shitposts doesn't magically make new/exciting/funny or original threads by its self.

>>651846 (OP)
Nobody gives two shits about your complaints because they're the same they were 5 years ago and that means that the board hasn't changed one bit over this period of time. By complaining about "cancer", "no moderation" etc. you just show how very new you are to this site.
