1. Improve consistency of guidelines from board to board. Threads about our anime/manga collection and what we should watch next are considered "blogging" here and deleted/banned, but similar threads (collections and recommendations) are acceptable on other boards, like /k/. Inconsistent application of guidelines leads to confusion and resentment, especially when sneaky moderation tactics like "auto-sage" are used on threads that have not yet hit any bump limits.

2. Mods should stop abusing short bans and should take ban appeals more seriously instead of blanket denying/blocking all appeals with no transparency.

3. Bring back ability to delete own OP on all boards, eliminate requirement to delete posts before they become "too old to delete."

4. Bring back OP's ability to bump own threads. The unique IP meter is a good enough indicator of samefagging. There is no need to prevent OPs from bumping their own threads.

5. Bring back visible sage and educate people what it means.

6. Bring back ability to announce reports and sages.

7. Mods should stop micro-managing conversations by deleting short shitposts that no one cares about and which don't actually disrupt the thread.

8. Bring back a /z/ board where people can go if they are banned for infractions other than CP and post with no rules or post-timers.

9. Bring back /l/ where we can post lewd loli images. Trying to make /l/ threads work on /b/ is like being marooned on a desert island. Spam and non-enthusiasts filling the thread make for a bad environment, and the speed that /b/ moves means that threads die quickly and few /l/olikons hang around long.

10. Eliminate SFW requirement on /a/. A lot of anime and manga isn't safe for work. Sometimes you need to post a nude image or lewd doujin to appreciate the original work. We shouldn't have to spoiler every lewd image and other people shouldn't be browsing 4chan from work anyway.

Anyone posting in this thread and pretending /ag/ would be different from /a/ or that generals don't exist on /a/ is too hypocritical to have opinions.

Change all the mods, they're garbage.

Remember to sage this trash when posting

We need to fucking ban LNfags who hype up shit that will inevitably suck and then have the nerve to say "just read the LN". They're the reason shit like ReZero gets made into anime.

>>147392850
>4. Bring back OP's ability to bump own threads
You need to lurk more before you get to propose rules. OPs can bump their own threads, provided their threads are active and the threads are at least 15 minutes old.

What's the concensus on these threads?
>>147382568
They are very /soc/ and have a lot of drama. For example, people made avatars of themselves to request art with them and then other people requested those avatars getting gangbanged on /d/ and /b/, recently 2 people started dating and many other drama I won't list.

>>147392739
You're big cancer.

>>147392739
hey can you fuck off now? don't you have naruto or something to watch

>banning lol

There goes my remaining pre-2007 4chan immersion.

Also ban JoJo generals and do something about Madoka threads and its tripfaggots.

>>147392987

>9. Bring back /l/ where we can post lewd loli images. Trying to make /l/ threads work on /b/ is like being marooned on a desert island.

You guys are so fucking stupid, Hiro can't make a loli board, you all know this already, why are you so stuborn?

If you want to post lewd shit, go to fucking /h/, as a matter of fact, Sad Panda thread should go there as well.

And anime-originalfags that hype because they aren't adaptations?
And VNfags that expect the perfect route adaptations?
And directorfags/Studiofags that hype solely based on who makes it?
And seiyuufags that promote a series based on their VAs?

>>147393143
>Mangafags
>VNfags
They've already conceited into the fact that their adaptation is going to be shit no matter which VN or manga it is. LNfags are still, to this day, in denial.
>Studiofags
Only KyoAnifags and Triggerfags do this. And most of the time, the anime is good if not great.
>seiyuufags
I don't know anyone who does this on this board. Most of the time they're looking at the production crew before the seiyuus.
>anime-original
Barely any studios do this though except for trigger, and again, most of the time it's actually good.

>>147393305
So?

>>147393027
I think the regular drawthread is fine, but WWD is pure cancer and shits up everything with drama, blogging, avatarfagging, and basically everything we don't want on /a/. Same with the waifu wednesday threads.

Fuck off with your shitty general.

This is the most unproductive way possible to make /a/ better. Want it to be better? Start GOOD threads and make GOOD posts yourself. The only ones who can decide how /a/ will end up are the posters themselves, new rules will do nothing.

Just look, The Robot on /r9k/ was supposed to encourage originality, but the board ended up being the most shitty, stale, stagnant, and unoriginal meme shitpost boards on the site. New shit won't change anything, only YOU can prevent the board from becoming shit by making good posts of your own.

Which is not this thread by the way.

Two things need to happen

1) The ability to bump your own threads needs to come back. We have IP counters so we can see if someone is bumping a thread for no reason. Bumping a thread is good when you're dumping a manga
2) The cooldown needs to go back to being 30 seconds. Dumping even a chapter can take 30 minutes right now. People don't have that kind of time

>>147394503
You can bump your own thread, fucktard.

>>147394694
Not really. There's a easy way to bump it even if you're the only IP in the thread.

>>147394467
It encourages newfags and retards asking for sauce. If you make them feel comfortable for their retarded actions, more will come here thinking they can do the same.

>>147394633

Vote in the google forms people.

>>147394744
That's why you tell them about Google or WAIT while giving them sauce so you're not being an aspie and you're contributing to the board quality at the same time.

Anon, do you actually think the pathetic insults people spew make people stop? No one is bothered by the insults of anonymous weeaboos, especially not when the thing they're getting pissed at you about is asking for information. Asking people giving sauce to also explain basic search techniques is a far better solution than banning people for being helpful.

>>147394628

Even with a pass, that won't change the amount of time it takes. Just a link won't get as many people to check out a manga as a bunch of pages and a link.

Off the top of my head, the non-webtoon, not-also-pubished-in-Japan manhwa that have/had any sort of discussion on /a/ are that, Veritas, and Breaker, and for manhua it's just Ravages of Time. Lim-Dall-Young's stuff (all the stuff I know of, at least) is published in both, SAO was published in both, Song of the Long March is published in both. Boichi's a Korean-born immigrant who writes in nip and his stuff is initially published in Japan, it's manga.

They do it across 4chan. It regularly happens to me on /pol/ when I report the obviously off-topic threads, but here's one example when it happened to me on /a/: >>147389130.

It's basically a big discouragement to people reporting bad posts. And I don't even report that many posts!

>>147395242
>Weeaboo (a.k.a Wapanese) is an English slang used to describe a person (typically of non-Asian descent) who prefers Japan and all things in Japanese over one’s indigenous culture.
Yes I do know what it means, do you?

>Why are you eve here?
I like to discuss anime and manga sometimes.

>>147395375

There's no reason to make this place like reddit when you can easily go back there and stay there.

>>147395524
Why is that definition more valid than mine? You know words can have multiple meanings AND those meanings can change over time right?

>>147395541
There's no reason to lower board quality and drive away new posters just to feel like an """elite"""

Filter anon to /a/non.

>>147395541
why are you bringing up reddit in a discussion that has absolutely nothing to do with it? It's just a website anon.

>>147395112

It's more like indie manga, dojinshi doesn't refer to hentai fanfiction only, you know?

>>147395592
>You know words can have multiple meanings AND those meanings can change over time right?

You should use the appropriate meaning depending the board you're on. We don't call ourselves "weebs", if you haven't noticed yet. Please respect this while posting here.

If I wanted to visit a site where circlejerks were encouraged I'd visit reddit thanks. I don't care what "we" call ourselves, by a commonly recognized definition of the word, many people who post here are weeaboos, so that's how I'll refer to them.

Stop replying to this forced meta shit if you agree it shouldn't be discussed. Some drama queen OP hiding behind Hiro's naivete =/= the will of the board. Spamming =/= self moderation. Hiro said to discuss. That does not, mean play armchair admin proposing /qa/ tier sweeping changes on the board/site and forcing these threads to be literally a new general. In doing so you are being complete hypocrites, going against fucking everything you think you believe is good for /a/ if you can't help but keep these threads alive for the sake of pushing retarded and/or unrealistic nannying demands with no solutions to account for the fallout the changes would cause (no, /ag/ is not a good idea, remove yourself if you think it is).

The board is chugging along just fine outside of here and some of you sorry lot of overreacting whiners think we are in need of major sweeping changes. Some of your guys' fucking autistic inability to tolerate people liking certain series in peace is in reality, not a board problem but a you, yes (you) problem. Mods can't fix it; fix yourself. That is, grow up. This is a shared space. You don't own the board, you are one of fucking millions of users and not everyone is going to be a clone of you. Welcome to population dynamics 101.

Moderation can't stop these threads. You will have to exercise real self-restraint. The real self moderation is an invisible hand, where threads that are too shitty for anyone to dignify with responses and they die from falling off the board with 2 replies. It's not to force everyone to see the thread nonstop for as long as possible by spamming it. That only magnifies the thread, making mountains out of molehiles. Saging while spamming doesn't do shit because so many people these days use the catalog by creation date or last reply. Fucking show each other that we have some collective restraint to stop ourselves from this shit, /a/. These threads won't die as long as you keep fucking replying to them.

Shiggy diggy you don't unironically think this? The issue with spoonfeeding is that it's "give a man a fish" thinking, not "teach a man to fish" thinking. The behavior people learn when spoonfed is that it's okay to act like a tard because people will help and benefit you for that behavior. Lurk moar, that is seriously legitimately the only thing people need to keep in mind when using 4chan. If you want to teach a man to fish you teach him patience first. It is literally one job and most newfags can't even manage that.

We went from newfags who liked shit like "The Rules of The Internet" to newfags who think "There are no Rules!". Tell me that isn't a decline.

Why are random posts being deleted?

Seeing a lot of dead posts. If you're going to delete this many why not just take the thread down?

All they do is destroy any kind of discussion a series can have on /a/ because they will always become tumblr-lite circlejerks with people who don't give a shit about the rest of the board and only want to spam their fucking memeshit instead of actual discussion and even if you try to make a proper thread yourself you will always just get directed back to the general.

This shit happened to JoJo and now it's borderline impossible to discuss on /a/.

Also, bring back lurk more and healthy elitism, don't coddle obvious newcomers who don't even try to learn how things work.

Bring back visible sage and the old noko behaviour.

No board splitting of any kind, fuck off /ma/fags.

Generals can ever be fully banned since they're a symptom of the heavily diminished quality of the userbase, and not some outside entity.

Think about it, 2007 /a/ had crazy shit everywhere because /jp/ didn't exist yet. It was primetime for OC shenanigans. 2009 onward suddenly things started to dry up considerably. By 2012 the nofunallowed brigade as you call it was in full swing.

You have to be reaching so hard to think he's shady. The whole "he's gonna sell our data" was textbook people trying to sow seeds of malcontent in 4chan's users, organized and obvious. Sad you still buy it it m8

Hint: It would be trivial to turn 4chan into a shit website littered in ads and sponsored content. And it'd probably grow in user base like that quick. 4chan could take over 9gag, funnyjunk, and similar aggregators on its reputation alone and become a top 100 commoditized meme factory that cators to normalfags and children. It is a mark of how scrupulous its admins have been that they haven't pulled anything like that.

It's not just /jp/, /a/ got buried under a mountain of spam and whatever other garbage you could think of, and tons of people just went to post animu and mango on /v/ or /co/ instead. m00t and the mods mostly let it happen too, and /v/ was basically Anime & Video games for a couple years until they caved and put in captchas.

/a/ never really recovered, it only got worse, but it's at least serviceable now that mods had that huge crackdown like 4-5 years ago.

>>147397196
/a/ was cancer years before /v/ was. Literally the only reason this place isn't the Facebook-tier roleplay central it was before the place got nuked is because /a/ has so many active mods and janitors scouring the board almost constantly.

MAKE /A/ GREAT AGAIN

BAN FUCKING GENERALS

As cancerous as blog and off-topic shit typically is (look at what it turned /v/ into), stop fucking banning well-established board-culture related content and discussion not related to specific anime. That is, STOP BANNING FUCKING R/a/DIO, sound threads, and in general the fun, irreverent, and spantaneous threads that made us originally love using this board before the wrong moderation against the wrong things turned it into a desert of monolithic generals. Also, either outright ban generals, or stop enforcing rules in such a way that forces all discussion of a series into one inbred thread that makes impossible the board-covering shitstorms that made us actually come together as a community of a whole board around series like Code Geass. If CG or TTGL aired today, with the current culture and moderation practices they would be perpetual generals that no one outside would want to visit or get involved in due to the inherently cancerous and fun-stifling discussion style of generals vs. freely created and spontaneous threads.

No "community" wants that, generalfags are a very loud minority.

BAN GENERALS

>misrepresenting what someone says to make them sound stupid

You're an idiot. Just look at any of the "season rate" threads. It's a perfect example of what neither your shitty wiki nor any other website other than /a/ is capable of producing.

>>147397804

This is completely false. It's state-based.

Rolling generals are a problem all over 4chan, not just /a/. /got/ used to be banned on /tv/ during the hiatus because it was just different characterfags sending each other back to you-know-where. And /co/ wasn't much better as Homestuck and Steven Universe were also banned. Just keep conversation civil and on-topic.

A lot of this. I think the last time I saw a dedicated OC thread was during KLK, and on maybe day 2 of people making edits there was already 600000000 faggots squatting in the threads telling people to let it go and how it wasn't fun anymore, instead of doing basically anything else with their lives and time.

A lot of people on /a/ just make it their mission in life to ensure nobody has fun on the internet, because I assume they're all miserably dull people and need to stamp out any bit of originality or humor they can find, lest they lose some semblance of an ability to fit in.

MONSTER GIRL FAGS NEED THEIR OWN BOARD 5-7 threads daily and all they do is argue about horse pussy and bird/snake asshole. MAKE /a/ GREAT AGAIN.

>>147397880
have you visited an0nt4ltk already?

>>147392739
So basically nothing changes.
What's the fucking point?
>board is a cesspool
>better leave it as it is
I'm sure the problem is insulting the shitposters, everything will go smoothly after banning those people.
Congratulations, /a/.

We could have had a manga board with threads about specific manga that don't die with an average of 3 replies instead of generic "manga threads", fuck you all.

Mayoiga threads managed to generate OC content in their big superthreads. And after the show ended, the mayoiga-fanbase reintegrated normally into /a/ or went elsewhere.

Do people in this stupid fucking thread actually think anything they say will matter

>>147397689
>>Cause the development of cancerous micro-communities that prioritize and form their own culture
Just like boards

>>Encourage offtopic discussion due to their constant presence meaning no amount of fresh discussion material is enough to stop fags from talking about how their bloody day went and fucking roleplaying
This is against the rules

>>Are enclaves for crossboarders from /v/ who only want to discuss one thing due to lack of general interest in anime/manga, thus allowing them to ruin discussion of it entirely by poisoning the threads with their trashy opinions and shitposts - which influence the general's culture and other posters to act similarly outside of said threads
This would still happen if it were regular threads, they'd even make the threads too.

>>Stifle the ability of the community to discuss multiple facets of any given work at once since if you make a thread even tangentially related to a series with another up you're told to fuck off and join that one
Why wouldn't you discuss it in the thread that's filled with people who like discussing it?

>>Ones like the monmusu general are just thinly disguised fucking furry threads
If you don't know why furries were hated you need to stop posting.

>>There is no fucking reason any offseason series should have constant fucking pseudo-generals running from bumplimit to bumplimit regurgitating the same fucking posts over and over
Why not? If people want to discuss it that's the reason.

Just like the "stupid questions thread", "smartphone general" and a "PC building general" are all constantly on /g/ but there still are countless absolutely retarded threads?

Honestly if you can't fucking manage to find interesting shows to watch by lurking, then you probably don't belong here.

>>147397920
Probably to discuss anime and/or manga.

The old /a/ who knew how to have fun stopped using words like "epic" and post images like feelguy because they realised they had become cancer and it was time to change.
But you faggots got so stuck to the "board culture" formed after that that you are pussified at the thought of change. you just want same shitty threads, same shitty generals, same shitty way of discussing seasonals to go on and on

>>147398438

Check the archives if you don't believe me. What's it going to be then?

Fact of the matter is /a/ will be fine if you let it evolve organically. The more stupid rules to constrain it, the more mods and janitors delete things they don't like (hi Kusanagi), then the more shit /a/ will be. We used to have this cool thing called "sage" that allowed this board and /jp/ to self moderate until it was taken away. No sage doesn't make the thread go down faster but it used to be visible and that sends a message. I feel like the spirit has been lost due to this.

>>147397771
These days half of /a/ is reddit uppity niggers or MAL rejects who want to fit in with the elitism but 4chan's true spirit is being contrarian to the rest of world. This goes for all the old boards, not so much for the newest ones though.


New Game is AOTS fuck you if you don't agree you have shit taste.

>>147398658
Some people don't like circlejerks so they seek out communities with diverse members, or with members that are different from themselves.

Danganronpa and Yugioh anons post a lot of OC, although I get the feeling the /v/ community is the reason or this. OC otherwise died with KLK and Samflam
