There is virtually no difference between "general" threads and typical threads. Having a huge list of arbitrary rules isn't going to make the board any better, it's just going to cause more problems. You could use mental gymnastics to make virtually every thread on this board a "general."

Probably because the only threads you browse are generals. If you really can't tell the difference between the jojo general and a regular thread with quality discussion then you might be retarded.

Generalfags have been shitting up the board for so long they think they belong here. Now they're buttmad that the rules are finally being enforced.

>>150085986
Fucking this. Would you say that making a new thread for a popular show on its airing day after the first one got bumped constitutes a general? What about a thread for a show every week? If so, then why the Yuyushiki thread, which was full of discussion and content get moved elsewhere?
"Generals" aren't a problem, userbases are. The reason why /vg/ is so bad is because it's full of bad posters, not because of "generals".

Leave it on /int/ so it can die slowly and painfully. In a matter of fact, at this rate everything will die and talking about anything before 2016 will be a bannable offense, it's a hard price to pay but I finally will have my safe space once all of you leave.

>>150086058
Remember when Monsterfags got purged a few years ago? Its time to purge them again.

Buyfag threads are constantly discussing new /a/-related content and not just being a chatroom/dump of the same dozen images that everyone has already seen before. DJT is at least constructive in theory even if the individual threads have turned to shit. Likewise with draw threads. Yes, I do think that teaching/OC threads should get more leeway than other threads. Moderation has to keep context in mind.

It really depends on what sort of thread you're making. If it's something along the lines of "Discuss" or "New X thread" then it's a general. If the OP actually has a point he wants to discuss then it's a good thread.

Of course not. It's the principle of the matter and the current action was an opportune moment to use as an anchor to really illustrate the point.
As far as the mods moving one shitposting chatroom general, good. It's still too little too late. The only way mods take action around here is when they get a lot of flack from the community in a short period of time and so it is wise to use whatever little window available to speak up. It's much better to add pressure and potentially make a fool of yourself than it is to sit idly by as the board slowly goes to shit more and more out of anon apathy and generalshitters being highly vocal and getting their way.

Because you'd be able to have threads for the discussion of every airing show on /ag/ (less than 40) and enough space for plenty of threads about miscellaneous shows. There would be no need to use /a/ anymore because /ag/ would be full of discussion about any show, and if there was no thread for what you had in mind you'd be free to make a new one.
/ag/ would completely kill /a/ for good. This has been discussed plenty of times.

You can go to reddit or MAL if you want generals.

"/a/" style shitposting is one of the worse out of all the boards, if you seriously enjoy that still after how many years youve been rotting here.

>>150086249
Imageboards are notable from forums in that discussion is fast and fleeting.
They come, and they go.
Generals continuously get made for the sake of comforting of its participants, rather than actual discussion.
What's more, because Generals last so long they develop cancerous sub-cultures within. Drawfag threads are a prime example of this.

>>150086392
>Very few anime has enough depth to have serious discussion
And they still get 24/7 threads. That's not okay.

Hi there /qa/. Forgot about that thread where you got completely destroyed by Hiro himself already?

We need to get rid of anime threads so that /a/ can just be twitter screencaps and crossboard shitpost spam like every other board.

This. But its not exactly the generals that are to blame, it was originally the increased bump limit that started it all. Back when threads would die at 250 posts it was impossible to even make a general. Shit was way too fast.

tl;dr Its never going to be good again because of how the site is designed now and from the huge increase of posters over the years.

So you want to make generalfags have a shit time on /a/, but want them to stay around and post. 100% fucking retarded.

And then the cycle repeats.

There's no winning, really. At this point I just want to see 4chan burn. This isn't the site it used to be. I hope Hiro does something crazy and gets this place shut down.

>>150086330
Except the very nature of generals promotes those things whether you like it or not. It's a seperated environment that breeds cancer and circlejerking, eventually.

Refrain from constantly having your Yuru Yuri and Yuyushiki threads up and there should be no problem, since as you said, all the posts are good. Set an example for others.

I love how generalfags seriously believe that by removing them we want anime gone from /a/.

Make whatever thread you want as long as you're intending to discuss anime or manga. Generals are just glorified chatrooms that not only have the same posts over and over but they also make a series impossible to discuss. If someone wants to actually discuss jojo for example they'll just be redirected to the general.

You're all arguing over the definition of a general, but it has already been defined. Linking to past threads, numbered threads, threads with /insertseries/, or whatever other insignificant bullshit you want to spew does not make a general, and threads without these things aren't automatically not generals.

The point is that people should be exposed to different things. Nobody's going to click on a general if they're not already interested in the show it was made for, since nothing in the OP will grab their attention. But if someone makes a thread about a specific event in the show, or one of its specific qualities, a person not aware of it might be more inclined to check the thread out out. Not only is this better for individuals, since it exposes them to new things and potentially expands their tastes, it's also better for the community, as it promotes spontaneity and new kinds of discussion. Imageboards get boring when people settle into a routine of posting and reading the same threads over and over again.

I know. I was there when they started to delete gup generals, then we just made a normal looking OP and kept doing it. I'm saying that this moderation is retarded and not for the users. A good portion of the users want these generals, you want them to make a million separate threads or what?
Also generalfags are the ones who live in these threads, they are the farthest from normalfags, more than the people who are "hardcore 4chinners"

>>150086760
SJW spotted.

>no more secret s/a/nta
Sooooo, honest question, what is allowed on /a/ now? I mean, what if I want to make a thread about Evangelion now? I mean, there's nothing else to discuss about it, and if you just finished well too bad for you, lurk more and don't bother trying to make a thread about it here till the new movie comes out. Or what if I want to make a thread about K-on? Same issue, we can't even post images now because that's an image dump right? I'm sincerely confused, I just go to sleep and hope this was just another nipplemod incident(hey that happened the last time I went to sleep so it's the best idea).

>Monmusu actually has new material coming out fairly regularly
Does that mean it has to be up 24x7?

>>150086750
>>150086775
I lurk /yys/ and I know the lack of content makes the threads nothing but yet another circlejerk/general. Constantly making threads is not good. But whatever, I'm no mod to say what goes and what doesn't.

>>150086773
bann the spoiler threads aswell

>>150086717
Yes, and this board as well because it's the only place where you can have decent and fun discussions about anime. Seeing how much these anti-"general"fags want to destroy the board is worrying, because they're extremely vocal and going by what this fake Kinomod has done today could eventually get their wishes realized.

>>150086742
If by killing /a/ you mean starting to get rid of the persistent threads which were used as chatrooms with very little to do with anime or manga, then sure I'll accept that congratulations.

I can literally knock out everybody in this thread.

>>150086785
It's sad to see so many people maligning generals and fapping threads.

God have mercy on my soul, I will end your life mods.

>>150086768
TG threads are getting pretty dead so eh.

>the new mod will probably delete mogra thread

>>150086798
If the people want it up, then yes.

>>150086801
/yys/ gets like one thread a week. That's not constant.

Doesnt Monmusu have a general on /jp/ or somewhere else too? They should fuck off there

If you don't think /a/ needs to change from the way it is now then you're part of the problem.

>>150086792
Not everyone who disagrees with you is a SJW, /pol/-kun. You'll learn that as you get older.

So can we finally kill waifu threads for good? They are literally nothing but a chatbox at this point.

U-uiharu? Is that you?

I want to start a shitposting thread about Saten.

>>150086801
Again, once a week is not constant. And there is still discussion and OC going on.

>>150086809
I don't see how the threads that got moved constitute as that.

>>150086817
t. redditor

Meh. People singing praises for a spur of the moment purge that won't even last for a week.

Wake me up when mods stop being lazy fucks.

Just fucking create a discord group for your shitty general and fuck off there.

No one will miss you.

WAIT WAIT WAIT

Could this all because they just took on new janitors and promoted new green mods?

Maybe new mod-san has been waiting for this day to strike. He bided his time until he had another influence among the mods to enact his plan to kill all the generals.

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE

Or at least the type of person you are.

>>150086813
Don't you mean "get knocked up by", Saten?

>>150086748
>Homo threads have been around longer than you have
Sounds like a general then.

>>150086816
never been in those and have only seen a few streams but do they jerk off to that shitty american edm weeb producer? if so shit taste

>>150086823
And not everyone who disagrees with you is /po/, SJW-chan. You'll learn that once you're of age.

>>150086816
you trying to fear monger? mogra isn't for weeks

Well from what I seen in /qa/ this "mod" said he's been around since Accel spam days (maybe earlier) so he should have an idea how the board runs.
