As much as I hate having to do this (meta threads are usually full of retards who think you can strongarm the boards to fix them) we need to talk about sadpanda threads.
As most /a/nons are aware, mods or janitors have been pruning sadpanda threads for a couple of months now. They have not stated why they are being deleted, what rules they break, etc etc.
In spite this there has been many anons who want the threads to be allowed. As per Hiro's orders, this thread will serve as a means for anons to discuss whether mods should allow sadpanda threads to be posted on /a/.
I'd like to ask all anons to remain respectful and courteous, and to (try to) provide constructive ideas for whether sadpanda/exhentai/doujinshi threads should be allowed on /a/. I'd also like to ask mods to take the time to listen to the userbase, and to at least provide reasoning for their final decision on the acceptabability of sadpanda threads
Also remember to report shitposters. Do not engage shitposters. And be respectful.
Why try to fix something that isn't broken?
Fuck off.
I think the discussion is tuckered out
>>153330795
Please give it a day before making another thread.
Not again. Didn't the last thread have enough shitposting?
Are people posting NSFW images? If not and they're only providing links, then the janitors should fuck off.
>>>/qa/
Fuck off.
This shit is way too old
here we go for another 12 hours
>sadpanda and other "generals" getting purged
>Threads threads are perfectly fine
>>153336826
>>153336831
>>153336986
The image OP is using dates back to 2016, why are the mods allowing this thread to stay up?
>"discussion" centering around "muh dick" should be allowed for some reason
What's the problem?
We just had an 850 post thread about this.
Saged.
>>153337020
Exactly what we were talking last thread.
That shit should just be on >>>/i/
Make /ag/ - Anime Generals
>>153337020
Since when are weeklies generals?
This is getting fun. Sadly though, i won't be able to partake in this one, but will leave my contribution from the other thread:
>Everyone was happy about it
>It broke no rule, as the threads were always about links, not porn images
>The argument about being a general is fallacious, as /a/ is literally filled with much cancerous generals that never get deleted, such as 3x3 threads, Shinka threads, EVA threads and so on
>It can't be compared to rec thread, as the only reason recommendation threads aren't allowed is to keep lazy newfags away from the board, and Sadpanda is actually a good filter for newfags because they can't get past the panda and even if they could, it would still attract less newfags than simply lewd images that are posted everywhere on /a/, as a link is less flashy than a image
>Moving to /h/ is a bad option, because /a/ has much more traffic, the userbase there is cancerous, the threads always belonged on /a/ and there's no reason to change that
>Purging sadpanda actually normalizes /a/ more, which is a bad thing
Does that covers everything? I think it does.
We don't need a second thread.
>>153336887
>one thread par boards to talk about the board
>this shit again
Fuck off and kill yourself, the Rules & Regulations general was one of the worst bouts of cancer I've seen in years.
>>153337038
so daily reminder to report this kind of shit on /a/ because it's really sad at this point
>>153337020
That thread is a weekly so your newfag is showing
>>153337082
Again, Eva threads are not generals you daft cunt.
>>153337079
They being generals or not is not the point, they have their own flavor of cancer anyway.
>>153337117
Yeah, because there is a lot left to talk about Eva.
>>153337121
What you said was really misleading
I have a better idea.
How about we fix /a/ first?
>>153337038
UMARU GET
>>153337117
Not him, but they are just as cancerous anyway.
>Same posters
>Same posts
>Same images
>Is posted everyday
All this fit the criteria of being a general and is cancerous on its own right. I don't care how much you try to be autistic about it and twist this around
>>153337082
This anon speaks the truth.
If the mods are reading anything let them sift through the last one first, saged also.
>>153337158
>>153337179
A general refers to people talking about an anime with no set topic, they just talk about whatever they want.
Most Eva threads have a set topic.
>>153337112
I didn't know Monday is a part of the weekend, because those "weeklies" always ends on fucking Monday night.
>>153337210
The mods always enjoy these threads.
I remember a meta thread on /jp/ where I said that and was the only one who got banned in the whole thread.
>>153337179
Well none of that is true.
We have Eva threads frequently and often about the same topics but it's not a general. How can you be this autistic
>>153336887
Just make /ag/ and move all the garbage generals there.
It might end up being even more autistic than /vg/ though
>>153337214
>Most Eva threads have a set topic.
>LOL REIFAGS BTFO
>ASUKA BEST GIRL
>why is ___ so perfect?
>>153337220
Look at the thread creation date and stop embarrassing yourself OP
Ban all the pedophiles.
>>153337168
>Otaku
Every goddamned college student who watches even a little anime uses that word to describe themselves
PLEASE delete template threads like "What did s/he mean by this?" or "Who was in the wrong here?".
So the idea was to not use Sad pandas anymore, instead made Sharing Adult Mangas, to discuse H-Mangas
>>153337252
>has case study of why his idea is bad
>still posts it
Why?
>>153337158
Eva keeps on giving worthwhile discussion to this very day. Fuck off.
Meta threads are good but only in small doses. This is just excessive.
>>153337214
>A general refers to people talking about an anime with no set topic, they just talk about whatever they want.
So, sadpandas aren't generals? As they have a set topic, which is the discussion and dump of h-manga and doujins.
>>153337249
It's the same thing being discussed everyday, which fits the criteria of being a general. Also , the same thread being posted every time, like it happens a lot with EVA, is already shameless shitposting and motive for the threads to be deleted anyway.
>>153337280
So you support endless shitposting until the "last thread" before 12:00 Hawaii time (because that's a thing too) and then casually bump the thread from page 8 so your slut can get drawn?
Look at last weekend's threads, because that's exactly what happened.
>>153337279
Even if you don't like them, they aren't generals since the discussion is usually limited to waifufagging or talking about whether or not Shinji's gay. You're not going to find anyone asking about Gendo's plan or the Dead Sea Scrolls in an Asuka thread.
You could make a case for some of them belonging on /c/ though, especially the ones that have absolutely no discussion at all and are just short of image dumps
Good to see a thread that was not a general turned into one by said general's usual inhabitants.
>>153323460
>>153337312
I thought weeb were the hot cool nerd word.
>>153336887
Oh boy, is this the shitposting general? As I remember the last time we had chain of meta treads under the same excuse in OP's pic were basically that.
>>153337377

No they don't

Yeah, right.
>>153337325
THIS
>>153337405
Yep, over ten thousand posts of spam and retardation. Looks like we're headed for that again.
>>153337327
At least it goes away from here. /vg/ is a shitstain but its influence doesn't reach /v/
>>153337413
They do, the discussion about h-manga and doujins, this is a fact.
>but they get offtopic sometimes
Like EVA threads then?
>>153337413
They do, we talk about releases, scanlations, artist, translators and scanners
Why not use /h/ for a catch all sadpanda thread, that way you can post the actual pages.
>>153337385
answer me this OP, why do you give a shit about sad panda? because thats the reason you started these garbage threads.
>>153337312
>>153337404
Labels are cancer in almost every context. Saying "I like anime" is more than enough.
>>153337509
shota/loli not allowed
>>153337536
Not him, but sadpanda threads were quite comfy and were the only place that we could actually discuss obscure h-manga.
>discussing porn
Yeah, I know. I take my fapping seriously
>le super elite porn club site xD
Im glad this shit general is gone.
>>153337544
Why not /d/ then?
Sadpanda threads belong on >>>/r/
>>153337035
Might as well so this dies.
>>153337404
If you're a newfag and/or normalfag who doesn't even know what the original word actually meant, sure.
I hate it
>>153337544
Don't worry bro, you're just posting links.
>>153337446
>Since when are weeklies generals?
Never mentions quality, you're retarded; quit trying to twist what people say into your autistic headcanon.And yes it is not a general, it is a weekly.
Good. As someone who has been here since 2006 I'm glad this has happened. Any community that has threads that last more than one day deserves to get banned.
>>153337568
theres a fucking board for that shit regardless how comfy it is.
>>153337536
Not OP, but only in /a/sadpandas I could talk about some h-mangas that are not allowed on /h/ also /h/ doesn't discuss
>>153337082
This guy shares the same views as me.
>>153337576
Your body belongs on the nearest highway, preferably when you are asleep.
>>153337574
you don't browse those boards, right?
>>153337536
I'm not even OP, and I don't give a fuck about sad panda, but if it's going away, then do away this other cancer too.
The WWD isn't even anonymous anymore. It goes way beyond 4chan itself, it's Tumblr at this point.
>>153337660
>implying there are highways in my country
>>153337634
wait a fucking minute, /h/ doesn't allow certain h-mangos?
enlighten me on this
>>153336887
Just a warning, one of the reasons why DJT was banned is because one BR decided to be extremely persistent with remaking threads all the time. Please don't become like him, limit yourself to one thread per day at most if you want to keep pressing on this.
Porn discussion is cancer no matter what and I don't understand why /a/ are mad at this. Don't you guys take pride in your elitism mindset and telling newfags to fuck off? Porn is literally the most entry casual level shit you can discuss.
It doesn't help that most fetishes threads turn into 3DPD and normalfags blogging. Find me a milf or a tomboy threads that doesn't turn into 3DPD blogging.
There is none.
>>153337536
because it's a thread that belongs on /a/ and mods haven't said why they're banned
>>153337622
>Any community that has threads that last more than one day deserves to get banned.
All has that all the time.
>>153337629
See >>153337082
>>Moving to /h/ is a bad option, because /a/ has much more traffic, the userbase there is cancerous, the threads always belonged on /a/ and there's no reason to change that
Give me one good reason why we should change something that worked fine until now for no apparent reason.
>>153337629
There's also a board for drawthreads, yet they are allowed on /a/.
>>153337622
fuck off newfag, quit pretending to be an oldfag
>>153337713
he's probably the monkey himself
>>153337695
No loli or /ss/ for starters.
>>153337723
/a/* has that
It seems I'm really tired
I wish mods would just delete meta discussion from threads about particular series. In particular, trolls who kill all discussion by shitposting about people doing things they don't like. I don't understand how the shitposting is allowed but telling them to stop is something that warrants a ban.
>>153337695

>>153337713
If I do one thread a day, then people who come at different times won't see it. Last thread was way too fast so anyone who wasn't here for those ~2 hours would just miss it.
Let's hope that's just the first step. This place is little more than /e/2.0.
>>153337802
What a fag.
>>153337689
Do you? As /d/ does have discussion threads that also reference some vanilla stuff and there is no rule about loli or shota.
>>153337818
>make a board full of cancer
>>153337889
>and there is no rule about loli or shota
Global Rule 3 says otherwise.
>>153337831
You don't need a 24/7 thread that everyone can see every day, nigger. This mentality is cancer. Don't make it on some set schedule at x o'clock daily, just make a thread every so often organic-like and let it rest when it dies naturally.
>>153337544
Not allowed anywhere really
>>153337964
So you shouldn't be able to post them on /a/ either. Meaning /h/ should be fine for you.
>>153337818
>emojiposter thinks he has the right to have an opinion
>>153337971
the conversation was still going from last thread. This one is a lot slower, so I'll let it die probably
>>153337035
eh, why not?
Isn't hentai illegal in most countries?
>>153337974
They are allowed here and /b/, maybe I will try to make a sad panda on b but I am sure the shitpost is going to kill it
>>153338015
Good joke. The previous thread ended with nothing but shitposting, this thread is continuing that.
>>153338015
The only thing you're going to attract with this persistence is shitposters. This thread already has a lot more of them.
>>153338047
>implying /b/tards can get past sad panda
>>153337964
Double edged sword pulling that, anon. You basically just said they technically aren't allowed here or anywhere on this site.
>>153338047
They are accepted but it is just mods looking the other way most of the time, unless you are posting blatant porn.
>>153338047
>>153338097
stay on topic please
>>153338045
Hentai is a broad category of animated porn, can't see why it would be blanket banned.
>>153338153
What topic? Meta threads about about meta shit and this is still meta shit.
>>153338127
I mean, it's not for b/tards, but we can use b for sadpanda threads while /a/ gets his shit together
>>153338194
Read the OP and stay on topic please
Here is a guide to a better /a/
>Stop making sadpanda threads a "general". Sad panda threads are okay. We don't need back-to-back threads, have a reasonable cooldown time.
>Apply the same to monster musume, kancolle, Jojo, DBZ, etc.
>1 global /a/ drawthread. Fuck off with this WWD shit, it's literally the same thread but with more circlejerking.
>>153338250
Stay on these nuts bitch.
>>153338250
The image says one meta thread about the board. Having a specific topic goes against that.
>>153338282
Can we make sad pandas on Mondays?
>>153337889
I've seen loli images get deleted from /d/ a few times.
>>153337964
Good thing people don't post pornographic images in panda threads, be them of lolis or not.
A funny thing is how the shitposters ignore the fact that /a/ has threads to discuss hentai anime all the time, or maybe they don't know because they haven't lurked enough.
>>153338282
Mods tried something like that for multiple threads.
https://desuarchive.org/a/search/text/dear%20fans/capcode/mod/
>>153338318
Mondays on /h/. Go for it.
>>153338299
>The image
>Not reading the OP
Stop shitposting, anon
>>153338282
>We don't need back-to-back threads, have a reasonable cooldown time.
Panda threads were never made like that, except for a small period of time where some /qa/ncer got butthurt so he tried turning them into a general.
>>153338349
>I've seen loli images get deleted from /d/ a few times.
I have seen them deleted from /a/ as well.
>>153338370
Why post the image then if it isn't relevant?
>>153338435
So the thread doesn't get nuked for some newfag mod
>>153338045
>most countries
Like which countries?
>>153338377
We seriously need a generals board. That's really the only point of contention going on in /a/. All issues are centered around generals, long running threads and "circlejerks". Make an /ag/ for the long running memeshit while /a/ can keep going with more current anime and topics. I don't understand why anyone would not want a general board if they hate generals in /a/.
>>153336887
>Metathread
How is this not deleted yet?
>>153338282
You obviously don't understand how 4chan's thread system works.
"cooldown times" are arbitrary, arbitrary is bad. If there is discussion to be had in a sad panda thread after one expires, then another should be made by those wanting to discuss. If there is not any to be had e.g. if the thread died from lack of posters, one should not be made without good reason e.g. new release people were waiting for.
Just look at GuP threads, and you will see how a General thread looks like.
>>153338641

What kind of discussion would be well justified for another thread? You're forgetting, your thread could easily be put off to /d/ or /h/ because it's not explicitly anime or manga, it's doujins.
Ever thought about moving to /vip/?
>>153338759
Maybe a miracle happened and some mod decided to see the mistake of his ways.
But most likely not.
>>153338728
Can't wait for someone to make it again once this one dies. Just shove a public warning out on the OP in red and lock the thread and be done with it.
>>153338774
"Doujins" are manga too, you know.
>>153338756
No, it's an entire board for the meme threads like artfag threads and the threads for the popular/long standing series with fanbases who will keep "circlejerk" threads alive for days with discussion. You people bitch about the threads being in /a/ and act as if they're not allowed or wanted because you don't like them. But nevertheless, there is a problem because there is a demand for them but no proposed solution. Meet the demand and most problems will be solved.
I mean basically if /v/ can have their shit filter containment boards then the fastest board on 4chan, /a/, should have one too.
>>153338745
This lol
>>153338810
If the mods knew their own mistakes sadpanda threads would already be allowed again
>>153338971
And then that board gets one general for each of the shows airing in a season, one general for each of the current "generals" on /a/, a few generals for old anime, and that still isn't enough to fill 150 threads. Not only that, but you've also killed all discussion from /a/ and turned it into /v/ 2.0 where people can talk about anything other than the board's subject.
>a board for the meme threads

No.
>>153337714

Even /int/ is faster than /a/ now.

Also /a/ is at the speed it was back in 2010.
>>153338774
>What kind of discussion would be well justified for another thread?
Any release by any even slightly prevalent artist or a scanlation of their work, if a thread hit page ten in the middle of something being discussed, (e.g. "the quality of X recent release") there are many things thatcan warrant a subsequent thread.
The thread is sad panda not doujins, there are manga, doujin, game cgs, image sets, and more released via sadpanda
Also doujin simply means self-published work, it's not inherently pornographic and therefore does not belong on /h/ or /d/
Plenty of what is in sad panda threads is not allowed anyways on /d/ or /h/, /h/ things are not allowed on /d/ and vice versa and links to loli/shota are not allowed on either.
>>153337714
I know that posting lewd things on /r/anime isn't allowed but that's part of this hobby, regardless of what your prude American nature tells you. I suggest going back to that place if you get so bothered over people talking about sex-related things, maybe then your mom won't ground you for looking at cartoon porn again.
>>153337714
"normal" (it isn't) isn't relevent to the discussion. Please stop shitposting

>>153339081
You are purposely being ridiculous or just not reading my posts, aren't you.
/a/ can be for currently running shows, acute discussions, questions or random comments and chapter dumps.
Shows that have ended and persist in discussion can be moved to /ag/ after a certain period of time.
Naturally won't be as fast but it will work as it will filter out the older material for dedicated fans to another board while making room for newer discussions on the main board.

And this is a bad thing how? People hate these threads and get pissy when they're made back to back. Yet there is still a demand. What's the problem with meeting the demand for them on a separate board so people not involved don't have to see it?
Because right now there seems to be no better logic to the resistance to /ag/ except I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE
There are literally multiple boards specifically for posting cartoon porn on. Now fuck off.
>>153339840
Because the people who hate these threads are fucking stupid. That's all there is to it.
>>153339832
He's saying the season shows would be gone to the supposed /ag/ which would be stupid as fuck to do.
>>153339875
And if you'd lurked for 3 seconds longer you'd know that those threads aren't about posting cartoon porn.

I more or less want an /ag/ for the drawfag or DJT type threads and the other kind of threads that tend to go on for days when made. Not necessarily because people hate them but because it makes more sense to have a board for the participants who would be happy to contribute without having to deal with the random haters and without having to depart too far from the /a/ board culture.
