Rules, Regulation and Moderation on /a/

Don't change /a/
That is all.

But I think the mods are doing a mostly good job with /a/ right now. They lack team members, not additional rules. It sucks when a rule-violation stays on the front page for an entire hour because the mods are all taking a bath at the same time.

How about we get that capcha change that everyone was talking about?

/a/ is doing ok.
Maybe introduce a schedule or something for the mods, because there's definitely deadspots in coverage.

fuck off

/a/ is not doing ok it's moderation has seriously declined. Generals, saucefags and other cancer is being left unchecked. The other day there were several "edition" threads. I was issued a fucking warning for calling out blatant autism also.

We had both of those stickies. You don't understand the mindset of somebody looking for instant gratification.
I know from personal experience. You get a bug in a game or a program. You google for an appropriate tech forum and make a new topic. You don't even consider the possibility that maybe half the front page of that forum is full of replicas of your thread.

At least now I'm slightly more mature.

Twitter is used as a source in that case. There's more blatant violations of the rules up. A thread being up doesn't mean the mods tolerate it. It often just means the mods can't be bothered with moderation duties.

For the saucefags, it always have been there and the fall of the google reverse image don't help.
The generals threads are a real problem though but it's kinda tricky because they aren't labelled as such anymore. Also it probably hard to draw the line between thread about popular shows and the personnal room of some diehard fan.

Every board would strongly benefit from better communication on the mods part

Whenever I have a thread deleted I'm not sure why; I don't make threads that are clearly stated to be against the rules, so when the thread just disappears it's confusing as to why it did and I'm not sure if I can make a thread on the same subject or not.

Meanwhile many threads that are blatantly against the rules stay up for days on some boards (/vr/)

Either the rules need to be changed to reflect what's actually being enforced, or the mods need to better comunicate why they're taking the actions they're taking.

Hiro is nothing but a powerless figurehead. Whoever's been making the decisions for 4chan since Moot left certainly isn't him. From his extremely limited appearances, it's clear that he is disconnected from the staff that actually run this place. Just the fact that you have to tell the mods not to delete this is laughable.

/a/'s problems can't be solved with moderation, because there will never, ever be enough. They'll always be outnumbered. Look at other internet communities -- even ones with better resources than 4chan still can't mod everything. That's why Moot's standard response to complaints was "self-moderation" by the community. Except that's not working on /a/ either. Currently, there is no good mechanism for the old ways to get preserved or passed on.

For /a/ mods and Hiro I guess:

For the most part /a/ is doing okay. If anything, just be slightly more lenient with deleting. Threads that are only meta-related to anime or a specific /a/ culture/meme for example, it's alright to let such a thread go on for 15 minutes before determining if you should prune it or not based on the replies.

And of course, mods should be board specific. If a mod wants to mod multiple boards he should have to apply for and obtain permission for each separate board. To make the initial transition to this change easier, for now don't make it hard to obtain permission, just make it so that they have to bother to actually do it.

>>147202284

If mods banned r/a/dio away from /a/, they should do the same for the wwd.

>>147201967

>>147202343
The generals are actually about anime and manga though

Purge the fucking generals for crying out loud. We don't need idol threads, GuP threads or Kancolle threads up all the time. We don't need Tamamo Tuesdays or Majikoi Fridays, or Yuyusdays or any other fucking thing like that. And I like idols, GuP, Kancolle, Tamamo, Majikoi and Yuyushki. But you don't always need a thread up.

>>147202051
Still mad that your posts got deleted, eh?

>>147202406
Fuck off generalfag

>>147202343
And it has nothing to do with anime&manga discussion. I could make tons of threads that would bring good discussion about various topics but at the end of the day they don't fucking belong here.

>>147202459

There needs to be a minor acceptance level of things that pertain to /a/ but aren't strictly /a/. Sad panda threads fall within this allowance.

Additionally threads that can belong in different boards carry with them different connotations depending on where they exist, and thus they should be allowed to exist in both of those boards. For example, if I make a tomboy thread in /h/ I expect to be inundated with lewd tomboys and dumps of related H-manga. But if I make a tomboy thread on /a/ I expect there to be a mix of sfw and nsfw tomboys, discussions on why tomboys are the bestest, and how I'll never exercise together with my tomboy waifu, etc.

>>147202728
>I wish there was a way to screen IPs that visit reddit and prevent them from accessing 4chan, but I don't think there is.

Just make a partnership with the owners of reddit. It'll cost you a lot of money though.

>>147201847
>>147201926
>>147201968
This right here is the biggest complaint i've always had about /a/, why in the fuck do /c/, /e/, /h/ exist if they are completely empty because all the threads related to them are in /a/?
That's like the deal with sadpanda threads. It's literally a thread for sharing [links] to porn, but because they don't directly post the images then it suddenly becomes SFW and /a/ related, when everyone KNOWS that the point of it is opening the links and jerking off. All waifuposting/best girl/etc belongs in /c/ but no one gives a fuck either.

>>147202858
Also start banning/deleting non anime/manga images.

>>147202836
That's bouncing the problem, newfags and cross boarders fell in line with the quality of /a/, now it's fucking Summer all year round.

>>147202878

"anime that deconstructed the genre" with fucking Toyota dancing pic and now you have a 10 times worse thread that isn't a general
well fucking done, you just solved nothing

>There are a few acting out of line

If and when the moderation staff improves, then you can talk about that. But what's more important is dealing with the 4chan of now.

>>147202942
Absolutely nothing.

Also, can we please fucking move the kancolle threads to /jp/?

>>147200877
Not to mention to have an LN discussion at all it needs to have an anime or manga or people have to make isekai/tensei threads to talk about their favorite LNs.

>>147202896
But what if this thread is nothing but cropped porn, doujin pages and saucefags?

>>147202836
By crossboarders we mean people that bring shitty meme to /a/ like cuck, /pol/ shit, frog posting and many others.

When on /a/ act like you're on /a/ and not /tv/ or /pol/ how is this so hard to understand?

>>147202960
And it's porn. How is this hard to understand?

>>147202965

A crossboarder is someone who is posting as if he wasn't on /a/. Using memes or mannerism from other boards. If someone is called out as a crossboarder it's because he did something to point it out. It's that simple.

Yes, that is literally what a blog post isn't. The poster listed a topic, how they felt about it, and left it open to discuss. It may not be about a specific anime or manga, but it's about the general topic of the fucking board.

God this thread is shit. Nothing of value will ever come from threads like this and /q/ or /qa/ or whatever it's called now only exists for faggots, who shitpost in every thread they don't like, to complain about things that have been around longer than they have to get deleted.

Remove tripfags that aren't using a trip to dump/translate manga. Remove shitposters who try to derail threads (which the mods already do). Delete off topic threads. Delete bait threads. Delete recommendation threads.

>>147201435
this

Honestly these fucking white nights no porn on the internet make me sick as fuck, /a/ has never been that type of place.

If you got caught browsing /a/ at work just for a loli storm or guro dump to cover the catalog, that's just because it's how /a/ always is.

If you can't deal with it, don't fucking use it on your work computers if your so scared of even ecchi. There's no other reason I can comprehend why fags want to make this 100% sexual imagery safe.

>>147202989
It just means that the people replying, the /a/nons themselves, are currently in the mood for that. It's not beyond help, as even then it can turn into a discussion about how random specific artist that drew these specific lewd pictures or specific doujin is really good at drawing lewd tomboys. After all, it's still animu and mango, just because something can also exist somewhere else doesn't mean it shouldn't also exist here.

/vg/ does its job well enough. In a perfect world it's better to have a containment boards for containment threads rather than have them run amok on a normal board and have them take up space that could be occupied by discussion threads.

Of course in the case of /v/ that's hardly what happened considering all the thinly veiled porn dump threads they have

seriously ignore these retards

Any delusional NTR fuckery deserves automatic ban in Slice of Life series. Most importantly Takagi threads.

Here's what people don't understand about DJT and the definition of generals. Generals are 24/7. Generalfags make a new one the instant it gets archived (like on /vg/).

DJT used to be literally one thread per day, and ONLY one thread per day. That's where the name comes from.

If a DJT's conversation faded out naturally, there wouldn't be a new one until the next day. I don't actually follow DJT nowadays, so maybe things have changed at some point. But this type of "daily" could be a good compromise for the "generals" debate. (Just give up on mods banning generals completely.)

/jp/ is trying to get rid of cancer of its own. You're making it hard on them.

>>147203208
By your logic /a/ should be about porn games, fucktard.

>>147203246
>generals get nuked
>they just pop back again under a different name
seriously have you never been to /v/ because it's fucking full of generals even though the rule is no generals
so moderation is bad?
welcome to 4chan, that'll very likely always be the case
better to give the fags an outlet than to make it spam central

The problem I have with fetish threads is not the lewd itself but these threads are always full of normalfags thinking its chance to blog about their life.

>hey gaiz lol i saw a 3DPD tomboy cutie at the gym should I hook up with her?
>oh man i love big tiddies my current gf have big one im in heaven lol
>THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING A PEDOPHILE 3D LOLI ARE FINE TOO!!!

>>147203200
>It just means that the people replying, the /a/nons themselves, are currently in the mood for that
If this arises spontaneously it's one thing, but I have the astonishing ability to open up a booru or exhentai and get over it instead of creating a whole thread on a blue board about what I'm jacking off to right now. I don't see why it should be here when /h/ exists.

Does /v/ even have any functional moderation?

>>147203327
Then report them.

Idiots can't agree on anything. Why bother asking?

Ban all mecha threads, they belong on /m/.

>>147202938
>>147203074
>>147203169
>>147203165

Yup.

>>147203290
I've noticed as well that some of the those ironic NTR posters are basically the new delusional /u/fags forcing their fetish in everything.

>>147203338
>functional
for free

>>147203342
NEVER EVER CALL ME IDIOT EVER AGAIN

>>147203340
Fuck off sex creep

>>147203180
Because a thread about whatever gundam is airing right now is okay, but threads specifically about mecha stuff have their own proper board?

>>147203338
Functional moderation depends on people actually reporting posts.
