    You think a 30% drop is nice? Every time moot does something like put a song on /b/, the amount of users drops by about 1000 (50%). If he constantly had a song going, I wouldn't mind, because I'm not an underage b& whose parents would be attracted to a song coming from another room. My theory anyway.

    Most of the other boards will continue as they have been, with the occasional /b/tard trolling it. As for /b/ itself, it will either slowly die out like the cancerous tumor it claims to be, or gain one too many media stories and be shut down.

    I see this as similar to the growing prison population. Society is churning out more criminal posters and Something Must Be Done.

    The prison system tacitly accepts internal self-policing by the gangs it houses to ease the stress on it's own employees. So...

    Split /b/ into 2. Every time you post in /b1/, you get a mod point for /b2/ and vice-versa. So /b1/ diehards get to mod /b2/ and so on. It will be the new cool bloods-crips in cyberspace.

    Just set up a bot to randomly ban people . Something like every time someone types some shit like, "shit was so cash" there is a 33.3% chance of a ban. Then just shuffle the parameters around from time to time. Different phrases, different percentages, etc.

    Sarcasticaps aside, I do think that there needs to be a far more harsh set of standards for the boards. All bans should be permabans and they should apply to all boards. Nuke the appeal system, too; it seems far more of a waste of time and code than a helpful utility.

    Some expounding.

    Range bans are not bypassable by the standard ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew tactic. That gets you a new IP address in a range... a blocked range.

    Moderators are a good idea because it's like playing Mousetrap -- remember that game? You can spend eternity making a really good trap or you can just pick the fucking trap up and put the mouse under it. Fucking problem solved.

    We're trying to figure out process-based solutions, separating chaff from grain. It's infeasible because there is no easy way to distinguish between cancer and not-cancer without logs of posts from a given IP, a dictionary of "cancer" phrases, and a really good robot, or maybe a robot nine thousand. Thing is Randall gave us a good temporary solution but these process-based solutions are only going to hold a problem at bay for so long.

    Cancer needs stopping, but a lot of the memes like shit was so cash, advice dog, etc. are used sarcastically or as part of a phraseome -- if you allow me to coin a term -- a phraseome, a collection of common symbolic phrases and illustrative phrases that combine to form a complex picture. That phraseome allows communication in a simple way we can all understand. It'd take time before we learned that they're cancer and we need to stop using them at all.

    See, if we just have humans do it, that solves a process-based solution. Humans are much better at separating signal from noise because hey guess what we have the best pattern recognition engines ever created in all of the universe. They're good. No process solution can do what we can do.
    >> Commissioner Red !5gFoSxriW2 11/03/08(Mon)11:47:20 No.2007587
    >>2007549

    So basically: a hundred angry guys with shotguns are better than a $500m sentrygun with AI.
    >> Cr9 !PLAN9M8Wsc 11/03/08(Mon)11:48:30 No.2007597
    More rant.
    Of course the problem with a human solution is the fundamental untrustworthiness of humans; we cannot be counted on like a process solution can, we cannot always perform within expected parameters. A mod would occasionally ban someone who disagreed with them. A mod would occasionally be a fag.

    THEREFORE WE ARRIVE AT THE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION, HAUNTING MOOT'S MIND LIKE THE RAVEN:

    HOW DO WE DEVISE A SYSTEM OF MODERATION THAT CAN ELIMINATE THE HUMAN FACTOR?

    The cold hard truth is we can't. That's the basic reason why government doesn't have a single solid "answer". No one has ever created a solution to governance that is both effective and fair.

    So, working on an as-best-we-can basis, create a combination of process and people, best immune to trickery and faggotry on both the moderatOR and moderatED side of the line, capable of eliminating noise and increasing signal, diffusing trolls, eliminating EDouches, and all the while being unobtrusive?

    This is a monumental task. If anyone presents a solution that is good, we'll all mail it to Moot, but this should serve as a reminder:
    WHATEVER THE UPDATE IS, IT IS THE BEST SOLUTION TO AN UNSOLVABLE PROBLEM. DO NOT BE ANGRY.

    WE HAVE A PROBLEM HERE THAT IS LITERALLY NOT SOLVABLE AND ANYTHING WE GET IS BETTER THAN WE DESERVE.

    THANKS FOLKS.

    Soldiers cost about 200k to put into mobilization (training + equipment costs, ironically pay only takes up about 12% of that), so 100 soldiers would be more efficient than a 500m dollar sentry.

First, it diverts the attention of people from whatever they've been doing to the board politics, second, it invariably makes people act stupid and like a mob, third, it encourages people to both gamble the system AND try to manipulate mods.

    4chan is anonymous imageboard. If you choose to have a name on ANONYMOUS imageboard you're implying that you're better than everybody else.

    >> Anonymous 11/03/08(Mon)13:14:43 No.2008170
    It's actually "a" unique snowflake, not "an" unique snowflake. When determining "a" or "an" you go by the phonetic sound, not the actual letter. So going by that, "u" is an odd exception; it does make a long sound but it can also be interpreted as a "y" sound and thus a phonetic consonant, so "a unique snowflake" would be proper.

    I wish he would get rid of all republicanfags so it would be less redneck faggotry and more about people who know how to use guns.

    Namefags are more tolerable really.

    I'll always remember This Man as the guy who paints on snails.

    I think it works fine the way it is, maybe with a few less tripfags. I mean unless you have something special there isn't much point.

    Tripfagging = Out
    Namefagging = ???
    Numberfagging = ???

    I used to put a few numbers after "Anonymous" so I could find my posts easier, on the high volume boards. Got called a numberfag occasionally.

    Funny you should assume some tripfag that I've never even seen post here in my three years is samefagging as me you cunt teenager. How's it feel to be completely wrong you dumb cancerous kid? lurk moar. Some namefags/tripfags assume an identity so as not to be confused with the newfag kids that have flooded into 4chan from Digg and motherfucking mask wearing protestcunts.

    My theory was the hivemind/pool/Great Link/whathaveyou as the normative, in this case a collective of nameless, faceless entities eschewing individuality for the chance to "fit in" and "belong". However, once the indivuduality is reasserted, the collective turns on the new individual.

    It's like high school, except the role of jock and nerd are reversed, and those who dare to put on a letterman jacket are ostracised. That's about the closest analogy I could use while still striking home to the Anonymous collective intellect/memory.

    Tripfags should just get their names and codes randomized 1/4 of the time.

    That's a pretty good way to put it, but I prefer it in much simpler terms, which would be NEVER SHOW WEAKNESS ON THE INTERNET.

    Posting on /b/ gets you instantly permbanned from other boards.

    DO IT!

    As I posted previously people trip and name so they can recognize eachother on boards where we know one another. Randomizing defeats the purpose. Some of us actually do have things to say which other 4chan users want to read... /b/ and /r9k/ and /v/ now too are boards where you could randomize names/codes and it wouldn't matter.

    I heard you thought that "anonymous" was a group of people and not a default posting option on every message board dating back to the first BBSs.

    I believe 7chan did name randomization on /b/. Seemed to work pretty well.

    Molochfag out.

    If randomization was only applied to those boards I'd be satisfied.

    Wait a minute, are you a troll pretending to be a troll trolling a trolling troll pretender at trolling a trolling trolltroll? Or did the penguin of doom thing really not shine through as obvious referential faggotry?

    AOL didn't have any real internet functionality outside of newsgroups until a few years after that, but I know what you mean. I started out on BBSes myself. XOOM 2400 baud blowtorch on a Leading Edge Model D running Procomm Plus. It was the old family computer, so it was mine, while the new family computer sat in the living room.

    Wait, sorry, no, I'm thinking it was 711 or 420 that did that, come to think.

    Name removed. Got tired of Molochfagging.
