As long as the camwhore shit goes along with it.

why reset the filter? just make it "smarter" imo. if that's even a feasible thing to do.

A real moot thread? Hot damn.

Spinning off the relationshit faggotry is a good thing, unfortunately I'm not sure what else there is because otherwise it's a huge orgy of /n/ flavored trolling of the political or religious variety.

I'm not sure if you should publicly announce a reset of the post filter, because then you have a reversion to r9k's first week where everyone does nothing but spam memes and reaction images to lock those into the filter so they 'never get reposted'.

advice board and a camwhore board probably good

advice board would probably be a good idea, if you don't like /r9k/ being a relationshit board

consider banning the entire userbse of this board as well

i think it would be for the best

this would be nice.

also- OPblox

Thanks moot.

Also, toasting in epic bread.

>>4560985 here
More suggestions:
-Put /r9k/ on orz.4chan.org, img is shit and slows down whenever /b/ slows down.
-More mods on /r9k/. Keep the relationshits, the camwhores, all that off the board. The mute is not infallible. Maybe open up apps again if that's feasible.
-Ban mootblocks. nuff said.

>>4560990
*sigh*

subject field is in red
name field is in green

Never the less, I think an advice board would be a good idea. /r9k/ desperately needs to be ruled by gentlemen once again instead of angstly virgins.

Resetting the filter isn't entirely necessary, but whatever.

I can barely imagine /r9k/ without relationshit though. Thanks.

I am all for it, the 'advice' board would help everyone.

I don't really get why you would reset the filters, but the idea of an advice board is fantastic.

Make me a janitor so I can clean up the relationship threads on here after the Advice board is fixed.

Good idea.

I come to /r9k/ for actual discussion, not all this relationship bullshit.

Mute system is useless, in case you haven't realized. Also, name the advice one specifically Relationship Advice.

Anything else that needs to be changed are problems with the userbase who love to spam the LAWLNIGGERS, God vs. Non-God, camwhore threads.

Neato ka-beato.

>>4561006
Your first two ideas are great.
However, banning mootblocks would just be a pain in the ass.

>>-Put /r9k/ on orz.4chan.org, img is shit and slows down whenever /b/ slows down.

This. Lately its been going so slow that if it went any slower it'd be going backwards.

>spinning off an "Advice" board for all the relationshit.

I fucking love you moot.

That would legitimately raise the quality of the board.

Would you mind spinning off camwhore threads as well?

>and spinning off an "Advice" board for all the relationshit

Good Idea. Relationship topics take up at least 50% of the posts in /r9k/. I think it deserves its own board.

I think it'd be cool if you had some mods to watch over /r9k/ sometimes.

Hell, you could just reinstate the News board and make Advice and you'd be able to delete /r9k/.

>>4560961
/relationship9k/

If there's no robot, it won't work. There's a reason all the relationship threads get posted on here.

An Advice board would be beneficial.

As for the filters, I don't know... it shouldn't be COMPLETELY reset. If that's possible.

suggested filter
nigger = Men in Black

Jesus Christ, /r9k/ is slow as shit right now.

To be perfectly honest, the relationshit really appealed to me as I was going through the emo-ier of my times. A board dedicated to it might be flamebait, but I think it's worth a shot.

The robot thing really just gets in the way...it's a novel idea, but people can get around it far too easily. Although it has made this board a bit less shithole-ish than /b/.

Ban camwhore threads.

holy cow that is the real mute!

The advice board does seem like a good idea to clean up all the relationshit threads here. I don't know about the filter reset though. There are a lot of things that should never be reposted here.

>>4560978
this
or just ban anyone who makes a camwhore thread. it's always the same fucking people. myself included.

>>4561024
quoting this poster for great truth. honestly, there are 10 minute periods where you can't even open a single image.

Agreed, there needs to be an advice board. I'm sick of the relationshit. And the camwhoring. That stuff belongs on /b/. As for resetting the post filter, I think the way it is now is fine. I almost never get mutebloxed.

>>4561019
All that's needed to upgrade the mute system is a better heuristic for determining original content. Some kind of statistical analysis of a text post (count each word's frequency, somehow hash and compare), and a 'similarity' approach in handling images (99% similarity = collision = mute).

yes. i actually like the idea of an advice board. i love tl;dr stories!

but relationship/shit is what makes r9k so special. It would be nothing without it.

>>4560985

Smarter Robot: Flood discarded posts shouldn't feed the robot.

>>4561028

A /news/ or /politics/ board would be great, espicially robot moderated.
Otherwise every thread will just be NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER.

>>4560961

A decent idea for a filter would be to make posting any racial slur an automatic 2 day mute.

That would be nice.

+1 for the /ad/ board. It's something we've been wishing for since everyone realized this board was 80% advice/relationship threads.

MOOT:

Change R9K to NEWS/POLITICS/PHILOSOPHY or something like that, keep filter active so it doesn't generate into NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER

put ADVICE in a pod and LAUNCH IT INTO THE SUN

This girl is happy about your suggestion.

We need mods, like in a real way. Especially now that school's out and retarded bored kids who dont get paid attention to in /b/ have been coming here for some reason

>>4561027
reopen the damn appppps

there are a LOT of devoted r9k users (myself included) who would jump at a chance to spend their time cleaning up the board and making it less SHIT.

Be sure to name the "advice" board something extremely insulting! This is essential.

Will the "Advice" board be something like Robot 9000 with wordfilters and everything? Because if not, something tells me it will be nothing but trolls and spam within fifteen minutes of opening.
>>4560990
> "I'm not sure if you should publicly announce a reset of the post filter"
Seconding this.
Also, /tg/ loves you Moot.

>>4561010
*sigh*

Mods are always in red. Also, his tripcode isn't in bold, which means he's legit.

-Advice board would be great.
-Getting off of the server that /b/ is on would make us go down a lot less frequently, but it hasn't really been a big deal for a while.
-Otherwise /r9k/ has good threads in between relationship and camwhore, the usual garbage is in between but people have produced good shit.

A few people have thrown around ideas about mods, like each user gets one ban or you can vote people up or down and a certain number of down votes bans someone. It would just cut down on the trolling, which is almost constant (although it's not like /v/ where people talk about video games as much as they don't, even though I enjoy non-vidya threads).

An advice board could work, but honestly r9k is :

40% relationshit
40% pseudo-intellects
20% good content/not fitting into other two catagories

In all honesty maybe a third of the relationshit evolves/devolves into story/decent threads

More janitors and mods are needed.

/k/ommando here
This doesn't really have anything to do with the robot but, for the love of god, bring back /n/

THANK YOU, BROFIST
GODDAMN IT, WE NEED TO GO BACK TO OUR PHILOSIPHYING

But what will fill the void when relationshit moves away?

>Reset the mutes.
DEAR LORD.

just mute anyone who starts a relationship BAWWW thread. fuck that shit.

Great idea but can a robot overlord watch over that board too? I keep thinking that every reply would be "kill yourself faggot" without one.

For the sake of all of us on r9k, please don't reset the filter.

Loving the idea of a split though. The lack of actual conversation outside of b'awwww has been getting to me.

please don't reset the mute, the first 100,000 posts would be 1 word shit just clogging up the servers.

a seperate relationship board would be nice though.

I also suggest you add a "donate" button around here.
If you really needed some financial help if the ad revenue isn't cutting it, I'm sure most anons would oblige to help, however little they can.

I'd think that'd be pretty nice moot

I like to give out advice, as well as ask for my own

However if there is an advice board, it would be the same old bullshit everyday with each kid thinking he has his own unique set of problems no one else has, even though they were posted an hour ago

Also, trolls galore


But I'm for it

>>4561056
NO NO NO

Racial slurs should filter to mean something positive. Piss off the stormfags when their phrases get twisted.

>>4561055
There was a news board. /n/. And, yes, every thread was NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER.

An advice board is definately a step in the right direction.

>>4560961
You might consider just setting a really long ass cron job to reset mutes once every six months or a year or something, if you're gonna reset mutes. I wouldn't tell anyone when exactly mutes get reset, though, or else you'll cause a bunch of "FILL THE ROBOT WITH GARBAGE PHRASES" threads, which are of no value to anyone.

Also, without the relationshit, what would /r9k/'s purpose be? And would the relationshit also be robot-enforced, or just another board?

>>4561066
>there are a LOT of devoted r9k users (myself included) who would jump at a chance to spend their time cleaning up the board and making it less SHIT.
I second that.

/r9k/ was promising but it's become a haven for faggotry. relationshit, as you said, but all sorts of whiny nonsense that people should keep to their diaries (or myspace/facebook/egoshrineoftheday). i suppose your idea of splitting it would achieve the same result (assuming you do make faggotry super banned on /r9k/ proper), but i must say that a 4chan advice board sounds like a perfect example of an oxymoron (or else lulz). or just let mods go wild with a directive to target relationshit.

>>4561079
That's kind of my point. You get trolling of all flavors (religion/pseudoreligion/politics/news), posts that deal with the same topics that can be construed as trolling, then you have the 'get to know each other' topics that devolve into camwhoring.

I mean, not that it's any worse or better than r9k right now, but that's kind of what's 'left'

>>4561056
I like that idea.

I have an idea, too: Enforce the rule against racism. When it's obviously "lol 4chan" racism I don't mind, but it's just irritating to see stormfront fags posting here.

Just putting in my vote for camwhore and advice boards.

Also, speed this shit up goddamn.

without relationship and camwhoring how does I robot?

>>4561069
If people get spammed on a 4chan relationship advice board, I wouldn't feel too bad about them. Also, I love fa/tg/uys, the last thread I saw made by one here was hilarious.

Also people should do something about a new thread every few hours that's "what is this place how do i, i am not good with computer"

Advice board would be great!

But I don't think /r9k/ has been around long enough to need a filter reset. Actually, it shouldn't need one ever.

>>4561065
>>4561065
>>4561065
YES PLEASE

If you want this place to be better than /b/, we can't have it be like the wild west. We gentlemen need law and order.

Can we have the mutes NEVER reset? A real penalty for being muted growing ever longer. Couple that with more diligent banning for blatant muteblocks and we might be able to kill the cancer of aim/msn/camwhore threads here.

Maybe. Probably not.

Hi moot.

PLZ do. I'm sick of getting muted for stupid shit

don't think it's such a great idea moot.

the tension created here by the relationshit versus sudoko-interlecturalists is lulz.

your chan though pal.

~

also; frames is still a bit fraggled from some maintenance back in Oct, won't f5 a page but instead redirects you to the home.

there's some serious lag on img, since you did something after the last DDoS debacle to upgrade speed - i'm tempted to think you're letting it ride like that to curtail the summer swarm of /b/ees :3

anyway love you very much you big faggot


cocks

>>4560961
>Thoughts?

You are a faggot
~Desu

The advice board on another chan has been quite successful. I would highly recommend moving forward with it.

Also, admitting to being a "femanon" should be a bannable offence.

Almost every single suggestion in this goddamn thread is retarded.

>r9k

Oh, right.

+1 million for the advice board. I'm really down for the good discussion that goes on in r9k, but the relationshit stuff just gets soooo lame. Also a change from img.4chan would be muy bueno.

--PLEASE READ THIS MOOT--

if you do this(which i hope to god that you do), please name the board "Advice/Relationship" or something. Either way have the word RELATIONSHIP in the name of the board. That is the key.

--PLEASE READ THIS MOOT--

>>4561103
>>4561103
The point of /r9k/ is supposed to be /b/ with OC. That includes racism and trolling, for better or for worse.

don't reset the filter, but for the love of god make the advice board.

>>4561098

Third.

Thirdblox.

posting in a moot thread

mootbloxmeanyways

A good idea at first.

You'll end up hating the shit out of the advice board later. Everyone will.

how about forced anon with the exception of staff?

I know this isn't related but any idea on which of the temporary boards you are keeping?

Personally, I think /hc/ should be purged. It's fucking awful.

/sp/ is solid, I enjoy the board a lot. It's a bit on the slow side but that just allows for actual conversation.

Just a couple thoughts.

>>4561126

Listen to this

blocker

<-------- This is what I say.

>Fnorgle<

what I dont get is why people get angry when they see a relationship thread

its a realtionship board, if you're tired of seeing these threads, leave.

advice board would suffice since /r9k/ is already a relationship/advice board

I guess we could try a news board again. We don't really have the resources for additional boards though (server and manpower).

I say go for it Moot. I've never really had an issue with the filters and mutes... but I don't see why we couldn't have just an advice board to separate the people seeking relationshit advice and the other people who whine about it.

But, I ask myself this question: What prevents /r9k/ from becoming /b/? Not to say it isn't to a degree, but when I've always thought of /r9k/ it's always been relationshit with other random crap mixed in. So... it just becomes random shit now?

tl;dr: Sounds like a good idea, but what then would separate /r9k/ from /b/ and give it it's own identity?

moot is my favorite tripfag.

moot make a nigger board please

we could discuss niggers, nigger habitats etc etc

1. Move the board to cgi
2. Store all images/comments in the bawt for 6 months and have it auto-delete. That way we can enjoy original content without having to worry about some obscure shit that happened 2 years ago
3. Wish to be the little girl
4. ????
5. PROFIT!

Make everyone except In Hoc Signo Vinces forced anon.

That guy is fucking awesome. Or better yet, make him a mod.

I don't understand the reason for resetting the filter.

>>4561138
I think /sp/ moves at the perfect pace. It's the best board on 4Chan.

>>4561138
I am moderately into sports, and I have to say that /sp/ has really good memes and there is a little trolling and some people fucking around with the trash talking, but for the most part it's small enough that people stay honest, don't feed trolls, and put out a lot of OC. I think /o/ is the same way. /mu/ on the other hand is just NMH.

>>4561143
Uh, it was never meant to be a relationship board.

BRING BACK NEWS

yourblock :3

>>4561146
Man, if you need more manpower, just open up apps again. I'd be glad to help out.

How about forced anonymous with the exception of staff?

>>4561155

oh, also make me the sole mod of the nigger board

thanks bro

>>4561146
Newsboard? Nah, then we're just Fark with less wordfilters.

fucking finally


5+659+14rfsd4vdsrfsblox

It seems like /r9k/ is 50% news/related trolling, 40% relationship and 10% (on a good day) what I had understood to be it's purpose: classic 4chan style humour and meme creation, but without the endless reposting and copypasta that dragged down /b/.

I can understand why you got rid of /n/, but it was good at confining all the pseudo-intellectuals and trolls that prey on them to one place. It was a shithole, but it was a useful shithole. Like /b/, but for a completely different group of unwanted people. I think a relationships/advice board is good but why not take it one step further and call it the lonely board? I see lonely threads on almost every board every night. They're not really a problem, but obviously people want some place to go where they can bemoan their lives. I'm not really against that either, I think 4chan is one of the few places online where people can really spill their heart out, what with the anonimity and all that, but it would be nice if there was one moderated place for them to do that. The poor losers who try that on /r9k/ and other places always end up getting bitched out at some point, and I don't think they deserve that.

So yeah just my two cents.

>>4561146
You need a 'robot' heuristic on the new /n/ to keep out the stormfags. Some kind of word counter so that if the word 'jew' or racist terms thereof are detected with a certain frequency it's muted/banned

Not a straight wordfilter, because those are just too obviously sidestepped

Please restrict it to be a personal advice board.

There are some legitimate advice threads (i.e. lifehacks) that should stay in /r9k/, and if the purpose of the Advice board was unclear they'd be inevitably sagebombed to hell.

Great idea m00ticles

>>4561146
A news board would be great, but having an advice board would greatly fix some of arcanine's greatest problems

everyone proposing enforcing rules against racism are dirty little faggots who need to gtfo off 4chan. there are plenty of liberalist cliques out there, you don't need 4chan.

How about using R9K as a test bed for a "sage" replacement? Like say an actual post-voting system of some sort?
The wordfilter would keep people from posting just to vote, and in the end this board is experimental anyway...

>>4561146
please do

I doubt it would really add more load, all it would do is serve to concentrate the stormfags on 4chan. After you took away /n/ from them they spread and grew like a cancer.

also filter nigger to some other word with positive meaning, it is overused even by normal people.

I say rename this board to relationshit9000

since /r9k/ is bascially a relationship/advice board, I say split the two and leave the realtionshit here and move the advice to a new, better(using this term loosely) board

its the only logical answer

>>4561146
Do new boards really generate more users? Whenever people post on 4chan I get the idea that they just have some time for reading and posting, and doing on a different board wouldn't strain resources any more. But I think that pretty much any topic can be covered on one board, and if not a specific board then certainly /b/ or /r9k/. Except for relationship/advice, of course.

Do it faggot.
bloxfaggotblox

relationshit board would cut this board's content in half....I say go for it. It'd reduce all the clutter

>>4561178
There's nothing wrong with the occasional racism-provocateur troll, but the stormfag spamming that rears its head every so often is just board detritous

The mute is easy enough to get around as is, don't make it even easier by resetting it.

>>4561179
eww, no. 4chan would become Digg.

>>4561146

A new /n/ would just degenerate to shit like how the old /n/ turned out.
What would be good would be something like "Politics", or maybe academic stuff in general.
I've always wondered why there wasn't a science/academic-oriented image board, or a literature board, etc. Maybe think about adding those too? Just a thought.

>>4561162

I have an idea. If you make a relationship board, don't bother allowing posts. just have it be a static page that says: NO SHE DOESN"T LIKE YOU. SHE'LL USE YOU UNTIL A DOUCHEBAG TAKES AN INTEREST IN HER.

It would match the outcome of 99% of the relationship threads.

>>4561173
Because /n/ was a fucking troll mecca, especially with the run-up to the election, and it was a total waste of moderation resources.

Thank God...

this is all i have to say<3

>>4561178
>liberalist
oh shut the fuck up.

How about a "Relationships, Love Lives, and Camwhoring" board that encompasses all aspects of relationship- and sexuality-based discussion?

1) relationship thread is a good idea. name it /BAW/

2) can we have a philosophy/whatever board? I'm tired of seeing atheist vs theist bullshit and the like

>>4561146
BRING BACK OLD /n/
BRING BACK OLD /n/

DEATH TO THE TRAINS

I say that is a good idea. That way the board wont alienate people by having a relationship thread as the first thing they see. An advice thread would also work nicely, that way it takes all of the relationship issues from all boards and provides a home for them.

PLEASE add wordfilters. For racist slurs, as well as the constant anti-women shit. I get it, guys, sometimes women can be bitches. But we get these fucking "OMG ALL WOMEN ARE CUNTS AND HAVE NO INTELLIGENCE WHATSOEVER" threads like 3 times a day now. This board is becoming a place where faggots think they can come and bitch about whoever they feel like hating at the time.

So wordfilter "cunts, whores, sluts, niggers, gooks, negroids, etc"

>>4561190
It's not more people, it's more content. Right now 4chan stores the posts and images for ten pages (fifteen on some?) on however many boards it has (I'm too lazy to count). Add another board and that's another 10 pages of content that has to be stored somewhere. How many people access that content is a factor, but is the secondary issue here.

>>4561179
How would that work? Samefags would abuse the hell out of a voting system.

If you force anonymous it will solve 90% of the problems with this website moot. Making a relationship board will solve another 9%

You say you're lacking in manpower? How about some more janitor/mod recruits? I'm sure there are lots of /r9k/ers who want to smack some justice up in this bitch.

>>4561206
*relationship board

Yeah, spinning off "advice" into a new forum would be great. Although, actually, separate forums for "advice/relationships" vs "advice" would be nice, like with the wallpaper boards.

And I'd like to second moving r9k to another server. The only potential problems I'd see would be from the filter, but if you're resetting it anyway, now's the time.

Please don't. Seriously. I love /r9k/ as it is.

Please :/ ??

>>4561211

that's all going to the relationship board

I for one agree with this, you have this tripfags Support

Yourownblocks

Reset the mutes and fix the fucking system. I hate writing up a long reply only to be muted, it makes no fucking sense.

Advice board would be nice too.

>>4561199

make me the mod

in fact give me 4chan

>>4561214
Uh, no. Storage costs are trivial compared to bandwidth costs on a site like this.

Don't empty the filter. Its just gonna result in everyone doing those "random word" threads that we had on the first few days. I like the advice thread though. 4chan could really correct some lives with boards like /fit/ and /fa/ this could be another helpful place with the right user base and mods.

Also. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! Take /r9k/ off of img. Every time /b/ does something stupid, we suffer.

I'm on here like 25 hours a day.

Make me a janitor with a sick banhammer and I'll singlehandedly do the work of 5 mods.

I also have a good eye for CP, something the current mods tend to lack.

>>4561199
I think what he's getting at is that, similar to how /b/ keeps the lolrandum faggotry off the other boards, an /n/ with anti-stormfag word filtering but otherwise little moderation would keep the trolls from flooding everywhere else the way they did immediately after /n/ was shut down

Ref: /k/'s degeneration

Sorry to post again, but there are literally no janitors or mods that make their way to /x/. Is it possible to have some drop by every now and then? I know you might be under staffed and I would understand if you couldn't. Thank you.

>>4561199

Why not just remove most of the rules and largely stop moderating it, and let it fall into a /b/-like squalor to preserve the integrity of /r9k/?

/r9k/ wins. Trolls win. Mods have less work.

Man, this thread makes me really happy.

That aside, I don't see the point in resetting the robot.

Holy shit, I thought this was a fake moot until I saw the pin.

MOOT PLEASE SUCK MY PENIS

>>4561215
They already can by self-bumping.
Though voting on a thread is a stupid idea, I see that now. More janitors and mods would help things immensely, though.
Site-wide.
I mean hell, jim profit still pokes his head into /tg/ every now and again these days.

Moot I will seriously send you money if you make advice a text board, and turn R9K into a robot moderated news and politics board.

Yes, I know news has a text board, but news is so fucking lame without images.

advice is just a waste of bandwidth, its the same fucking question asked all the time, and no one wants to see the pictures of whatever girl is being stalked that hour.

I don't even see how you guys say its about relationshits.....as opposed to bitter threads directed toward problems with women. I'd consider a thread about an actual relationship to be a refresher compared to the shitstorm of "all women are whores" threads. I dont think /r9k/ was meant to be like that.

An "Advice" board would probably ease all of the repetitive, jaded threads which all say the same thing, worded (sometimes eloquently) differently.

-signed, a guy who thinks all women are whores.

Honestly, /r9k/ would lose a lot of bloat with an advice board added. But I'm sure /adv/ would just be a haven for shitty trolls. So I guess I'm ambivalent.
Also, I'd love /r9k/ to be off of img.

>>4561214
Ten pages of text and maybe a page and a half of images takes up a lot of resources?

>>4561198
You assume that relationshit posters actually lurk. If they did they would see a thread asking their exact same question less than a day ago.

>>4561211
just get athens banned. Seriously.

>>4561199
Yeah, I know, I said I _can_ understand why you got rid of it. But you have to realize that just because it was totally unmoderated and a shithole doesn't mean it wasn't doing its job. Or, uh, I guess it wasn't if you consider its job to be "a friendly environment to discuss the news", but I think at this point that's like calling /b/ "a fun place to post jokes you heard from your friend".

It would only work if there was a filters on /b/ and /r9k/ for the relationshit stuff.

I agree on making an advice/relationshit board (along with the camwhores).
I disagree on reseting the robot with all the mutes.

I do proposition to make chat-logs a requirement for any relationshit thread. Makes for worthwhile threads and lulz. I wouldn't really know how to logistically make this a possibility.

Hate to derail the thread some more, but doing something about the spambots on every board would be really great. I don't know how r9k's robot is set up on the backend, but would it be possible to set up Bayesian filtering or something for all boards? I don't know if it would be too slow or something. Also, more mods that actually do their jobs regularly. I know there are plenty of losers like me who spend all day refreshing 4chan boards. Anyway, thanks moot, you do a lot without getting much gratitude from us posters.

Ideally, rather than resetting the filter, just set it back to where it was a month or two after the board started. Then you avoid the whole "test the robot" stuff, at least a huge amount of it.

Please make a separate /cam/whore section so that I can easily find people to e-stalk.

I support this idea, Moot.

My only concern is that well. That leaves r9k with dick as its presently concerned.

BUt I do remember the initital glory weeks of r9k and hopefully they could return.

>>4561024

Thirded. Or fourthed. Or seventh at this point.

I say do it.

What shall the new board be called ?

>>4561179
This is a really good idea

>>4561251
athens is nothing more than a particularly persistent troll. All you need is a quick mod check in every so often

Closing for now.
