Enough. All that's needed to be said has been said.

It's only on page 6 you fucking newshit.

Waifu threads already get deleted unless it's waifu Wednesday.
The only problem /a/ has is the fact that Mods are pulling the trigger on whoever they want. Take away their guns please
>>147207448
Ban antigeneral fags, they just want to get rid of things they don't like.
Time to delete these threads mods.
You know what to do now make a huge post explaining why general threads need to go.
Bring back public bans and visible sage
>>147207622

>>147207448
Why create multiple threads now, just summarize what was said in previous ones
Ban generals
Ban sourcefags.
>>147207634
Only cancerous shits like you approve of generals. The majority of /a/ wants generals to be banned like they used to.
Ban OTP they only nest newfags, retarded idiots and normalfags/casuals who can't follow 200+ works.

>>147207448
Delete everything that isn't anime or manga. Delete waifushit, delete general shit because most of the time it's either off topic or beating a dead horse, delete game shit, delete anime picture threads because that isn't discussing anime. Threads that consist only of discussion for anime or manga should be left alive.
>>147207725
we can ban sourcefags as long we also ban attentionwhore fags that purposely crop images and leave the source out of the filename
>>147207448
>complaining about /qst/ being made
Yeah nah fuck those pieces of shit for turning /tg/ into a wasteland of faggotry, everyone except the questniggers wanted them off the board
Ban anyone who disrupts or posts unrelated content. Also, better moderation on meta-discussion.
It needs to be swifter and stricter.
generals make everything easier to discuss.
Instead of being spread over a bunch of threads we can be gathered in once place so our thread can actually be alive instead of 3 or 2 dead threads
He's not responding to anything anymore. Stop making these threads, nigger.
Saged & hidden.
>>147207728
Then why are you posting on this general?
Straight out of the jojo general.

Please ban threads that are just "Post tits/ass/midriff/feet/etc". We have /c/, /e/, or even /h/ for these things. We don't need them clogging up /a/.

>>147207765
Cropfags are not that prevalent.
As for leaving the source out of the filename, learn to search, Google Yandex etc. work well.
At least prove that you put some effort into searching, then there is no problem in asking for source.
In previous months there has been a rampant increase in sourcefags.
>>147207936
/d/?
Ban crossboarders that can't adapt to /a/.
Move loli threads to /b/ or /c/.
>>147207960

>Cropfags are not that prevalent.
Hiro has tried this "why don't you guys make decide on your own rules" thing before and the answer is the boards can't come to an actual agreement on anything. That's how 4chan works. moots idea of implementing changes and then thinking whether or not they actually worked based on the reaction was a better idea.
>>147208026
that's not a reason
>>147208043
we need less mods
>>147208043
I just want mods that care about us.
>>147207994
Give one good reason why you want to ban loli from /a/.
>>147207994
Can you be anymore blatant in not belonging here?
>loli threads are allowed on /a/ but not on /e/
can someone explain this?
>>147208002
You should only shit in toilet bowls
Old /a/:
>waifu meant the one girl you loved
>someone says something about seasonal waifus or multiple waifus
>everyone flips their shit
Nowadays:
>waifu is a mainstream term
>man, look at all the waifus in this show!
>no one is anal about it anymore
Can someone explain this? Why are cuck/senpai posters allowed now? I don't want to see any of your epic twitter memes or whatever. Our own terms have been bastardized too, like waifu or healthy into thicc.
>>147208074
Because he's from plebbit.
I love Yoko and Ryuko so much, it makes no sense.
>>147208064
>let me shitpost in free please mods!
>>147207669
I can't believe this has gone.
>>147208059
>the boards can't come to an actual agreement on anything
Everyone on the board agrees you are a faggot and we hate you.
If everyone can agree to this I dont see why we can't get together and ban all Aussies.
>>147208114
but shit in the kitchen tastes so much better
>>147208116
>>man, look at all the waifus in this show!
>everyone in /a/ must have the same waifu
>>147208133
Wow you have horrible taste anon.
>>147208116
I blame the casuals.
Is there not enough content to warrant an anime General board? It might be slow but at least ur would give people a place to go
Make it so if you've ever posted on /pol/ or /v/ you're not allowed to post on /a/.
>>147208112
Naked loli are only allowed on /b/.
/a/ is not for naked loli.
/e/ is for naked stuff.
Therefore loli cannot be allowed on /e/. Yeah its a dumb fucking rule that need to go already. Who the fuck cares about normalfags feeling?
>>147208074
>>147208104
Not /a/ related.
>>147208116
100% of people posting prison school crops are crossboarders or meme shitposters.
Though I agree we need to ban anyone misusing the term waifu
>>147208179
hiro already said he doesn't care if boards are slow
only moot the kike liked fast boards
Ban board culture. If it's against the rules, it's against the rules.
>>147208116
The word waifu unfortunately became mainstream with casuals and normalfags who rarely watch anime.
>>147208211
Yes.
>>147208183
This
>>147199476
Why did this got deleted? It's /a/ related
>>147208116
Most people still use waifu correctly. On the other hand weeaboo has completely lost all meaning. /a/ used to swear it hated weeaboos now it calls itself weebs.
Ban yurifags and haremfags.
>>147208116
Casuals don't actually love their waifus. Casuals think it's a joke to make them look nerdy/fit in.
Casuals will never understand 10 years of having a waifu and then she dies and you cry because she's dead. That you would have been fine with her getting with that fucking milquetoast piece of shit protagonist if it would mean she was happy. They'd think you could just get another one.
>>147208190
Alright so why only loli? Milf, tomboy, bigtits, etc... threads also need to fuck off if we follow this logic.
I can only conclude that you're a normalfag who get triggered by loli.
>>147208259
learn english you fucking ESL faggot.
Leave loli alone.
Ban symphogear generals
>>147208263
>/a/ used to swear it hated weeaboos now it calls itself weebs
I still dont understand how this fucking happened
>>147208321
Lolies are okay, lolifags are the problem.
Remove Overlord generals.
>>147208259
who knows? the mods just delete things randomly these days
>>147208116
Anime is becoming mainstream,that's the problem.
>>147208315
I agree. Those should be moved to other boards as well.
>>147208321
I agree loli is what makes /a/ great.
>>147208320
If it's his second language, hasn't he already learned it?
>>147208009
this, also make it so they have to delete posts that are breaking rules. i've had my posts deleted over and over again for posting a meme that is relevant to a thread and the anime it's about, but not banned since i didn't break any rules(obviously a mod abusing their power) but i reported tons of global rule breaking /pol/ tier posts and they never get deleted. it's fucking bullshit desu
>>147208275
this. please this
>>147208190
Ban ellipsis.
>>147208320
Why did this thread get removed?
>>147208275
Ban the jojo general
>>147208386
this
jojo should be 3 different threads instead of just contained in 1 general
Moderation is decent when it happens, but there seems to be a lot of time when no mod/janitor is alive and shit stays up for hours and hours.
Also those shitty Korean comics shouldn't be allowed on /a/. "Nobody else wants them either" is not a good reason for them to be here.
>>147208332
It's literally crossboarders. Because that's what the rest of 4chan called people who post on japanese themed boards.
>>147208370
Have fun having your post deleted in every loli threads.
Howe many of these are we gonna have today?
>>147208370
I don't trust the googleman.
>>147208275
Fuck yeah let /a/narchy begin!
>>147208338
It's shit that you can't criticize them without them shouting that your a normalfag or not from /a/.
/a/ is the only board I fucking browse, I just don't want to go to jail.
>>147207439
>1. Ban those who ask for sauce and those that spoonfeed
Easy enough to enforce. I don't see it as a huge issue in larger threads, but you're right in that they should be going to /wsr/.
>2. Ban narutardation
A bit wide encompassing, could be easily abused.
>3. Seasonal shows that become too popular should have a single general thread up, ban other threads about this show and people that derail other threads by posting about this show
I see no issue with this, though it should be a warning followed by a ban if the same IP does it more than once. If it has to be a ban to make it easier on moderation, at least make the first one short.
>4. Ban leddit posting
Agreed.
>5. Stop banning discussion on LNs and VNs that got an anime
Tricky one here. LNs and VNs tend to have a lot of spoilers, and most people in those threads are too fucking stupid to use spoiler tags because "just read the LN/play the VN!" So then mods need to also start banning people who spoil shit without spoilering, which just leads to this being a bit difficult to enforce.
>>147208439
What country are you in that gives drawings human rights?

>>147208410

>>147208404
Or just have threads on Fridays and the release of new chapters, why the fuck do they need threads 24/7?
>>147208439
You're so low on the tree that the only chance of you actually getting jail time is if you actively seed torrents of the shit. Even then your more likely to get v& if you look at actual pizza.
You should gather all the things /a/ agrees on and make a separate thread of new things for hiro to look at on /qa/
>>147208427
Hiro literally just gave permission a few hours ago. Expect to see them for likely at least the next 12 hours so that all time zones can chime in on the discussion.
If you don't like it, filter it. It's a discussion the board actually needs.
Full moderator identification.
I want their names and a photo. I want a database of every deletion and ban they've done. Every anon gets to rate them based on how stupid they are. After they drop below a certain rating, they're put of for review.
When they're up for review, we have a sticky thread where they live stream and beg us to keep their moderator position. Of course we'll deny them, but we make them do sick shit on cam in front of everyone and laugh at them for being pathetic hotpockets.
I guarantee you this site will improve over night.
>>147208427

what if you read the chapter on monday?
fuck off with vague as shit rules
if threads only get made on release I might as well swallow a shot of bleach and move over to reddit
Allowing generals without strict regulations will only kill this board.
1. A lot of people argue that generals are a form of containment, as it contains shitposting into one thread and instead of having a gorillion threads about the same show you simply keep it in one thread, while this is partially true it's also fucking retarded. The shitposting almost always spreads out into other threads, not necessarily the same meme spamming, but the very quality of the posts, people tend to forget where they're posting and they start to use terms that others fucking despise. Shit like "Tbh, Smh ..." was being spammed almost everywhere because generalfaggots consider it something normal to post inside their generals.
2. The circle-jerk that goes on, people start tripfagging and try to create a persona in these threads to get attention, not only does this not pertain at all to the topic of discussion of not only the thread, but the fucking board, it also further lowers the quality of the thread and the board.
3. Due to the intense shitposting in these threads, the worst kind of people get attracted to them all the way from reddit and tumblr. These posters tend to not lurk at all and learn the board culture, and further drag down the quality of the board as they get interested in other threads and invite more people etc. This is all because of the anti-elitists shitposting and spamming the "le sekrit club xd" shit whenever someone tries to point out what a newfaggot did wrong.

4. As time goes by generals increase, more people feel inclined to make their owned generals pertaining their subject of choice. And example of this can be seen on /int/, which has over 40 generals active on the front page at this very moment. Don't believe me? Check it out yourself >>>/int/
People will continue on making new generals when old generals hang around even when all discussion is fucking dead, this will end up clogging the board and killing the desire to even spark up any discussion outside of generals.
Unless a set of regulations is made out specifically for generals to control them, they will keep on being cancerous and being a burden to this board.

These type of threads and any /q/ /qa/ type boards will always be retarded. Anon's would end up banning everything because not everyone agrees on what should be allowed. Personally I like having a loose environment to post in because it's fun to go somewhat off topic at times.
Realistically as long as reports are properly dealt with everything is fine. /a/ is quite good at being able to self regulate and aggressive rules/moderation isn't needed. There are times though when reported threads/posts stay up for hours and that makes it pointless.
I do want visible sage back though.

Katawa Shoujo
Hiro should do an experiment with fanbases, split fanbases of a particular anime and ban half of it for three days(hoping they don't ban evade), then after those three days ban the other half whichever is the most cancerous gets permabanned.
Question: Has anyone noticed over the last several months OPs (including, but not specifically on /a/) obvious broken English, like missing a critical word such as "they" or "how" or "what", or it'll have two words switched to form an improper question or statement? I can't think of any examples right off the top of my head.
I'd attribute this to phoneposting but it's too recent to me to be solely due to phoneposting. And of course when you correct their pitifully broken English, they devolve into typical newfag defensiveness and spew retarded idiocy.
where are the serious discussions

You are not even reading the posts anymore are you?
Go back to redit lolifag.
Why does every time we try to discuss something guys as a whole it always ends up to shit posting and shit flinging

>>147208601

This anon is spot on about generals.
Honestly, it's all been said before but little things like board specific mods, kana captcha and visible sage would go a long way to shaping this shithole back to form.
>>147208964
Are you blind?
>>147208985
Do the opposite of this, /a/ should be only for traps/yuri/yaoi/etc.
>>147208975
That's always been a thing, like 40% of the traffic is from ESLs.

Please, as if /v/ and /pol/ aren't the same shit.
They both should be purged from /a/.

Ban Generals.
>>147208964
loli isn't pedophilia
pedophilia is being attracted to 3DPG

>>147209085
>No, but ban people misusing the quoting function.
Look at this newfag trying to act like a tough guy
>>147209016
People posting on /pol/ should be banned from every other board.
>>147208995
Nice try, general faggot. Kill yourself
>>147208887
Oh look it's the loli ban modder again.
>>147209013
Because the majority of 4chan's posters are normalfags who only come here so they can shitpost without harming their reputation on Reddit/Facebook/whatever.

>>147209086
How is that even an analogy? I'm simply giving the definition of a general. A lot of you fags seem to think it's any thread about any series that isn't currently airing.
>>147209013
Each time it happens we get much better at doing it
I don't mind most general threads. Yuyushi Tuesday, Miuna/Megumin Monday, and Waifu Wednesday/Weekend aren't omnipresent, and DJT and drawfag threads feel like they've been around forever so it would be weird seeing them up and vanish randomly.
What I DON'T like is having entire series' being locked down in "generals but not-quite generals since it doesn't say 'general' in the OP :^^^^^)" threads like those garbaids GuP /ak/ threads that exist for the sake of existing, and to a much lesser extend, /ai/, which is literally just a /vg/ thread but for anime.
>>147209013
so keep the generals alive
Banning people who use @, t., cuck, or kys would be a good start.
>>147208995

I'm more pissed at people using these than ESL/reddit creating them, why would anyone post in those?
>>147209131

>>147208116

>>147208858
>somehow the discussions were better than current /a/

Because the interface wasn't as retard friendly as today with things like the catalog, autonoko and (You).
>>147207803
It's almost like general threads are safespaces for tumblr kiddies.
>>147209083
Sure sure but it seems significantly more noticeable over the past (at least) six months.
>>147209216
Most of 4chan consists of underage kids nowadays. They don't know better and they gravitate to their peers.
Anything that isn't enforcing the old ban on general threads is a drop in the bucket and a complete and utter waste of time.
Balkanization kills the very idea of /a/ as a board, rather than a tangentially related series of chatrooms.
Delete any thread that has "This is your ____ for tonight" as the title.

That's it. /a/ is now perfect.
>>147207448
If for some shitty reason you don't ban generals then AT THE VERY LEAST delete every related thread created before the current thread auto-sages.
I just want to let the smug loli face guys that I report every loli thread I see.
If you want to discuss what you discuss in those threads (ERPing/CP/imagedumps/actual pedophilia) go to /b/.
I'd just like to add that anyone that uses the word cunny should be chastised by their mother.

>>147209409
Fucking newfag.
Generals are cancer and newfags not being able to understand what is or isn't a general doesn't mean that they shouldn't be purged.
Also "you're not going to eradicate them all" is a silly argument as well.
The no request rule doesn't prevent 100% of saucefags either, but is still a good thing to have and if generals could be reduced by 70/60/50% it would already be a huge success.

>>147208784
I'd like to add to your thoughts on general, with /v/ as an example.
The whole purpose of /vg/ was to clean /v/ up of reoccurring threads from filling the front page up. This was BEFORE the catalog existed, so /vg/ was a contemporary solution. After the catalog was made, /vg/ became redundant, and only existed to foster the idea of "generals."
Reoccurring video game threads were fine, because games come out and you play them for weeks, maybe months if it has multiplayer. After creating /vg/, generals began to exist for extended periods of time, years even. They became the apex of community of circlejerks; after you post with a group of people for a year, you naturally identify people and form cliques. This also negatively affected /v/, too. If /v/ happened to like a game enough to make frequent threads about it, it would be labeled a general, then kicked off /v/. Then people go "/v/ hates video games, see, there's no threads for games /v/ likes!"
In /a/'s case, you don't need fucking generals for an episode of anime or a chapter of manga. Just because the catalog exists, and there's no /ag/ doesn't mean you can circlejerk all day. Just have threads when content come out, is that so fucking hard?
Delete /his/ and prohibit /wsr/'s recommendation shit they only made easier for /pol/ and facebook to infiltrate the site under your noses.
>>147209422
Wrong. I see the generals purged to make JoJo discussion good again.
>>147208051
NOBODY HERE IS AGAINST GENERALS, KILL YOURSELF FAGGOT.
Generals is the least os problems on /a/.
>>147209383
I want it applied to every other board along with wojack/feelsguy. That shit coupled with the death of share threads due to music labels becoming crazy aggressive with mediafire/mega/etc. takedowns were the one-two punch that made /mu/ unbearably shit.

>just keep it in one thread

>normies

>This fucking thread
The amount of retarded request is fucking unbelievable like this faggot >>147209279 just purge this thread mods.
Also to any mods reading this tell hiro that you don't ask a board what they want because boards like us will never get shit done. Can you mods just lurk and change what do you guys think it's best. Just lurk what are the type of shit we always complain about.
so many anons asking generals to be banned but in the end nothing is going to change, mods still won't care and this place still be doomed

That actually worked because it kept all the shitposters entertained in the shitposting threads rather then shitting up normal discussions.
>>147209612
You can always post loli with moderation and avoid posting loli to "troll normalfags".
Also there is no need for daily loli threads.

To expand upon this, we still have threads about games like Neptunia, Blazblue, Tales and Persona that don't even use a currently airing anime as cover, they just blatantly talk about the games and use the irrelevant anime/manga which never gets discussed as a cover. Mods said this shit doesn't fly in the past, why do these threads get away scoff free?

So what? If they're that retarded then they probably wouldn't use sage or just wouldn't use it correctly. Invisible sage is still better as far as I'm concerned, otherwise people end up treating it like a downvote and assume that by saging a thread you're expressing disapproval of it. That's not what sage is for and I feel like most of the people who want visible sage are exactly the sort of people who don't understand this.
>>147210214
Mods will be gods again once they fix /a/.
What about generals like DJT and buyfag threads?
>>147210214

>>147210255

>>147209857
>Also, one of the reasons that /a/ got fucked so many times was /q/ so why the fuck are we going to back to suggesting changes on /qa/?
Suggestion boards/threads are retarded. A board where we could talk to mods and staff sounds nice but always devolves into whining. I want a /q/ board where suggestions aren't allowed.
There is nothing wrong with generals and you faggots can keep whining about them because they're never going away no matter how much you cry and shit your pants in these irrelevant threads that Hiro will never read. I bet the mods are laughing their asses off at how futile your efforts are. Just go back to making your supposedly amazing, shitpost-free, non-general threads you delusional monkeys.
>>147210286
If you get rid of generals they all have to go. Watch all the hypocrites try to counter this.
>>147210214
>besides keeping /pol/ and other shit boards out of our boards.
You have to go back.
But in all seriousness; ban the things I don't like, autosage the things I don't care about, and leave the things I like alone.
This would be a new golden age for /a/

>>147207448
Dear Godchink Hiro!
/a/ mods are huge fags about light novels they delete every light novel thread even tho they exist for aslong /a/ existed. So please allow light novel disccusion again on /a/ because your new mods are huge faggots.
Also same goes for /d/ with hentai caption threads, /d/ mods delete every caption thread.
please allow light novel on /a/ and caption threads on /d/ they are extremely popular.
pls mighty chink show us the power of the chang
>>147210434
Half the people in these thread don't know what general means. Some guy unironically called Miuna Monday and Tamamo Tuesdays threads generals all the while having typed those names out.
Ok here are the new rules:

>2.- Generals are allowed
I'm glad we could make some progress
>>147210456
They are literally stupid, just read any thread on /pol/.
>>147210502
Light novels are bad, they shouldn't be allowed
>>147210456
Has it taken you this long to figure that out?
>>147210425
Japanese figures are banned on /toy/.
Ban everyone who posted in this thread.
>>147210456
It's because of gamergate. Lots of /v/ like /pol/ at that time and those are two of the biggest boards on 4chan. They think that means all the smaller boards like /a/ also like them

>>147210492
No it was better because when there was something to discuss we would actually discuss it, nowadays is general circlejerking all day.
>>147210580
>Smaller boards like /a/
I hate /pol/ as well but you have no idea what you're talking about. /a/ is not a small board by any means.
>>147210568
Then why is there a Gunpla general?
>>147210395
Compared to most other boards, the quality of /a/ hasn't really gone through any major changes over the years due to the culture of the board promoting the discussion of shows that are currently airing rather than relying on series that are finished/in hiatus to be the backbone of the board's discussion.
If you want an example of a board that has gone straight to hell since the turn of the decade, look at /co/. Their more inviting demeanor is what got them floored by tumblites and /mlp/ filled them with the delusional thought that if they were able to bitch hard enough, they could get any other series whisked away into its own containment board.
>>147210658
/a/ is not even in the top 5 list for board traffic anymore.
>>147210672
Gunpla are plastic models not weeaboo shit.
hiro just throw a bone, nothing is going to change, for months there as been a weekly meta thread where is complaining over generals and mods and nothing as happened
>>147210658
smaller than /v/, /b/, /tv/ and /pol/ so not really that big
this is a good thing

>>147210693
The only time I posted on /co/ I had a guy explain to me that the board was very inviting because they want their hobby to become as popular as possible so that they can get more users and more lively discussions on the board and so the industry would be the better for it. It's only one encounter but I got the impression from that that the board is basically bizarro /a/.
>>147210746
less traffic, less people
in this scenario Russia is /a/

>>147210275
>otherwise people end up treating it like a downvote
It was a problem but it also wasn't the worst thing ever. A lot of the time they'd announce the sage too and enforcing that more strongly as a bannable offense would have helped I think.
I don't mind invisible sage and it's still somewhat useful but I do miss being able to coordinate sage with other anons.
>>147210658
Compared to /pol/, /v/, and /b/ we are small. Look at the numbers.
Just stick to the rules more, clear out shitposts/memeposts/ /e/ spam and all the bottom-feeding detritus that doesn't contribute anything to the board.
People who actually like anime and have a decent size powerlevel want to discuss anime, but instead we have our threads bumped off the board because some casual who wants to talk about 'feets' decides he hasn't made a thread in over 10 minutes so it's now time for another one.
Just get a mod who is committed to moving /e/ threads to /e/ and the quality of the board will rise.
>>147209844
>This sure made /jp/ a great board to browse back in 2010/11. Kill yourself.
I don't give a flying fuck about whatever non /a/ board you're talking about, but self moderation always helped /a/. The quality of this board has declined over the past few years.

No. They are bad because I said so. You have bad taste fore liking them.
>>147210456
They tend to forget that /pol/ is like the third incarnation of the original /new/ board which was deleted TWICE because it became /stormfront/ and is now around only as a containment board, which is currently overflowing.
I wish that /pol/ would be deleted shortly after the election ends, but only because I don't want to miss out on all of the /pol/lack tears.

>>147211188
I understand that generals offer a lot of convenience, there are pros to it, like organzaing translation projects and generating OC
however
my issue with generals is that its not optional,
if they develop a culture and tripfag circlejerk that you find distasteful and you want to discuss a show you have no choice but to deal with them,
attempt to make a thread separate from the general and your thread gets deleted for being "spam"
Allow LN threads

sadly the statistics don´t include /b/ don´t know why it doesnt get tracked anymore buy /b/ is like 3 magnitutes higher than /pol/ nothing beats /b/
>>147210502
I thought they were allowed? I see ln discussions all the time. Where does it say they're not?
>>147209081
This is an example of why they should be banned from /a/. They don't stay on their respective boards of /cm/, /u/, and /y/, and then intrude on other boards worse than any /pol/tard could.
>>147211260
More fun it's what we need.
>>147211316

>>147207448
Seriously I don't see the problem. I've been here since 2008 and 4chan overall since 2006 and /a/ right now is good.
We don't have any boards raiding us besides the random /pol/ event, we don't have one series taking over the entire board for its entire length, and people talk about anime and use elitism to keep it that way. Go on the catalog and see how many different series are being discussed as well as the few threads that are legitimately related to anime without being about one anime series (like DJT or Buyfag).
What the fuck else do you faggots want on your Vietnamese slideshow forum? Happenings? There is nothing to fix.

/pol/ has been surging because of the election that's dominating US news and the fact that US news outlets keep directing people towards /pol/ by putting them up as some alt-right headquarters of Trump twitter support.
/pol/'s been booming ever since the latest /v/ and /b/ HAPPENINGS and will continue to boom until the election interest dies down. It's just the way things go.
>>147211570
The people that have issues with the board are from other boards think things should be the same across the entire site. Crossboarding should be banned. You pick a board, make a post and you're autobanned from all others. The exceptions should be a few of the meta boards that don't so much have their own culture rather being made of whoever temproarily hops over there due to whatever not being allowed in their home boards. Places like /b/, /qst/, /qa/, /news/, /pol/, /soc/, /wsr/, /t/, /u/...
>>147211622
