Some of the stuff feels too subjective ("topics that have exhausted all discussion") but otherwise I really like it and hope some of the other boards get similar rules as well

Well they just deleted the MHA episode thread despite it being at the bump limit and well on its way to page 10. Which is kinda weird.

>inb4 the mods stop caring about these rules within the next week.

I just wish they banned waifu threads. Waifu threads are practically every point there

I hate generals more than most people but that's the way 4chan has evolved, unless you allow people to make their own sub-boards for popular topics you're killing regular discussion aswell as degenerate circlejerking

At the risk of catching a ban, I have to ask (and hope they see it) since the mod keeps saying one line and then closing the thread and running off.

>>161302118
>>161302226
Explain more, mod. What exactly needs to be stopped or fixed or what? What exactly?
You said:
>Threads which are /a/ related but have no clear alternative forms (such as drawfag) are allowed as long as they follow guidelines
But seeing as its a drawthread, there is always going to be some reposting - in the waifu drawthreads as well as the other drawthreads - so doesn't the art that flows in make up for that? The waifu one lasts for the weekend and then (usually) gets autosaged on Mondays to make sure it closes so that seemed like a fine deal.

They just need to generally explain more of what exactly they want in regards to places like the drawthreads instead of just disappearing.

Its alright but there's no reason to specifically attack "generals." They will stagnate and end on their own just as they always have for years. Stricter moderation in threads that often go off topic our image dump isn't a bad idea though.

>They just need to generally explain more of what exactly they want
they want to kill cancerous generals. It's fairly obvious which ones

I'm confused about the chained thread thing since pretty much any popular series will have chained threads while it's airing.

>>161302291
Yuri shall conquer the earth.

>>161302429
This is so rarely an issue though. In the case that it does happen you get a thread with 15 post max that last no longer than 30 min which can very easily be hidden and ignored.

>>161302405
>>161302411
That right there is dumb as hell too, especially when it links to them. Heaven forbid you link to something to give context to what you're bitching about.

>>161302405
>>161302405
Drawthreads actually need backlinks though, so you can check if your request got finished last thread

>>161302462
>since pretty much any popular series will have chained threads while it's airing.
But that's completely unnecessary.
Anons are supposed to be able to join a thread without difficulties. Making the threads one big meta thread means that you lock the community into a general.

Generals contains the cancer. I don't want to see 4 jojo threads on the catalog since it'll make it tedious to hide them all.

So I guess SakuraFish is RIP?

>>161302217
I honestly don't understand what's wrong with backlinks. Seems like you'd have to pretty autistic to get bothered by it.

What about the WWD? Will it continue in a very restricted form, or go to /trash/?

>>161302487
>>161302488
I don't disagree but it is what it is.

>>161302516
He died years ago in a car crash.

No drawthreads, backlinking, or "low quality posts or reposting!"
But the "ITT: bitches that deserves to be brutally raped" and "UMARU IS CRYING!! WHAT DO YOU DO?!!" threads are totally A-OK apparently.

>>161302462
It doesn't have to, there's the catalog.

the worst thread or general is dragonball spic. it doesn't quite matter how much extra stuff gets removed as long as that thread is gone or killed off. one piece, naruto, or anything else wasn't or isn't as bad

He didn't die though.

shounenshit is the primary victim so I'm content. Stuff like Kemono friends has definitely "exhausted" itself until next season.

Feels like this is made specifically to weed out some un bannable cancers, such as THAT GUY.

>>161302496
This makes no sense. Thread to thread meets is negligible but even it wasn't, removal of back lining would only make it worse. Just because you didn't backlink doesn't mean the thread didn't happen. Failing to provide a back link would only make it harder for new comers to come in

Does that mean Jojo threads are >>>/trash/? Because there hasn't been any new shit lately and it's just shitposts.

Generals are going to happen. It's just reality, especially with topics people are interested in.

/a/ doesn't have a consistent general for Fate threads, for instance, but funnily enough, there always seems to be at least one up no matter what.

>>161302488
Just use the archive, the threads will last there for a few days or so. It's probably mostly for generals for shows long ended but they don't want to make exceptions for drawthreads because people would bitch about it

Are drawthreads dead forever now

I feel like this will just lead to /a/ being even more shit and even more mod abuse, instead of actually improving anything.

>>161302576
Everyone already started doing that before when mods bitched about "generals" and the threads still get closed. Thats why everyone is in here complaining. Because shit doesn't make sense.

Why does it matter? Despite the sticky, you'll never truly see how moderation works. For all you know, mods could be scratching their balls same as always. There's no point in discussing what the sticky says without observing what true changes there are on the board besides a meta thread being created. It's been up for less than 40 minutes.

Yes, generals are shit.

I don't think most of these rules will last.

>>161302613
You can make a normal thread about anything, but if the thread dies don't make another right away, just don't be a general.

>>161302636
This is all I want to know. Can we still draw here for the threads or are we done forever?

>Threads in /a/ should be primarily based on anime/manga discussion.
>lets ban all the actual manga/anime discussion threads
I don't mind them, but I feel like this is just another copypasta rule for mods to have authority to delete whatever they don't like.

>>161302636
They don't care about Drawthreads but backlinking is banned

>>161302612
>Failing to provide a back link would only make it harder for new comers to come in
The idea is that there is no internal thread consistency. Memes and deductions live on, but all you need to participate is knowledge of the show/manga.

Maybe all those cancerous shonenshit generals will be fucking purged already

In all my years I've not seen threads as bad as DBS, OP, BnHA, HxH, Naruto and last but not least fucking Jojo are nowadays.

Fucking hell, what went so fucking wrong that we let those cancerous people inside here?

>>161302613
Didn't they literally just get a new chapter

>>161302648
And in those 40 minutes they locked the drawthread just because "lol no backlinking"

>>161302616
The it's not a general, it's not the same thread being ressurected again and again, so it's fine, as long the nature of a general is not there, it's fine, particularly with an active series like Fate.

>>161302665
>>161302636
- Threads which are /a/ related but have no clear alternative forms (such as buyfag/drawfag) are allowed as long as they follow these guidelines.

What would be neat is if it actually spurred some anons to make their own forums since their generals aren't allowed anymore.

I understand the sentiment, but this just does not work in practice.

4chan is too big. You've got hundreds of people on simultaneously that specifically come to talk about certain topics.

>>161302685
That's because the announcement just came. Wait a couple of weeks and things will go back to the usual standard of mods selectively enforcing their rules to eliminate shit they don't like.

>>161302388
They're telling those threads to adhere to the rules in the next thread or face moderation. It's a forced "update" of post quality.

Does anyone else think that JoJo is bad and rules are stupid? Also what's with backlinks am I right?

>>161302644

They 404ed a Hero Academia thread when a new episode literally just came out, they're fucking retards

>>161302388

This. If they can make an exception for drawthreads being on /a/ surely they can make an exception for back linking.
Also why the fuck would they delete this thread being made 10 hours before they announced these new rules.

Mods not thinking things through as usual.

>>161302669
/d/ had to put up with it too, a mod literally banned stuff he didn't like

Its shit. They are going to forget about it in two weeks like usual.

Fuck off, I'm not going to copypaste a post I've seen in another thread that is relevant to discussion, I'm just going to fucking backlink to it. It's a waste of time to do otherwise.

Thank god. I hope this keeps up forever. A cleansing is needed.

>>161302715
>>I understand the sentiment, but this just does not work in practice.
It worked in practice for years until general cancer started to shove it's way in. What's exactly impeding it from happening again?

>>161302715
You misunderstand. If somebody unrelated to you starts a new thread and has actual discussion in it then that's not a continuation of your thread.

No, seriously. What is wrong with backlinks? Does it just tickle your autism? How is it bad in anyway?

>>161302429
Only happens with cancerous fanbases like Dragon ball. These people should rightfully be banned.

>>161302715
/a/ has always been self moderated, there's little the mods can do about most stuff, they tried to hunt down buyfags before for example, it didn't work. So a great part of it depends of the community, killing the general culture in certain threads, like ongoing battle shounen shows, will not be easy.

>All these shounentards whining in this thread

Those type of people were kinda always here just maybe on different boards. If you've noticed over the years 4chan's board cultures or what's left of them have all mutated in different ways. Other sites got popular and different thinking on how to make things easier and more efficient for discussing things kinda took over. moot has discussed this before that people have started using or what is now have been using 4chan as a chatroom kind of thing for threads. It'll continue to happen in the same way 4chan's culture will continue to change, I've noticed it changing completely about every 2 years.

why not just make /ag/ you niggers

If you want to stop generals just make /ag/.
Don't try to snuff out discussion, sweep it under the rug to somewhere that isn't here.

>>161302771

Nope. Its all animesuki, reddit, tumblr and the like now.

If you google, someone make a DR forum in 2013 that only has like 3 posts total. SnK has a dead RP group. Otherwise it's all subforums of existing sites. The Naruto and OP forums are super old, and exist off their core groups.

But no one makes new ones. Are people afraid of responsibility? Are they just lazy? Is there no real way to shill your forum to get a community going anymore? Who knows.

From a 4chan mod's perspective, mods have no business intervening in user generated content. This website was created for users like you and me and so it's our mutual responsibility to self moderate the board or let others come and post as they please. If mods were to intervene all the time, this would become wizchan in that it's a personal safesplace website. It isn't, it's a place created for other users. There's a certain philosophy behind not just /a/ but 4chan in general that makes this kind of thing inevitable. From my perspective, you should thank the third world and internet becoming readily avaiable for South East Asian and Latin American subhumans, double digits IQ creatures who base their internet experience on reposting something they found somewhere else. There is also Reddit and normalfaggotry in general. The nail on the coffin was in 2013 with GG and the Fappening. If I owned 4chan some of the first things I'd do is ISP ban anyone with at least one shitpost in their posting history, or any referral to outsider websites, having a sex life and that kind of thing. I'd also ban anyone not posting from Japan or West Europe. You'd see this place become better than ever before. I like to fantasize about what I'd do with /a/ and 4chan as a whole a lot.

>>161302845
>4chan's continued growth.

>Those type of people were kinda always here just maybe on different boards.
Even if they were they were forced to adapt. You behave differently on different places because every place has different standards of behaviors. They should adapt to how things are here or fuck off.

All those three had pretty good threads when the series was ongoing and alive and well and slowly but surely degraded more and more and became exactly what the mod is saying threads should not be in the sticky.

No, it was created for moot+friends. moot left, but those friends are all mods now.

I can not backlink to previous threads/posts despite that being dumb as hell and tedious - but they could have just said that and caught everyone on the next thread instead of just locking everything and fucking off.

And if they want to enfore "good post quality" then get rid of all the stupid shit equally. Why the hell do we have threads about raping anime girls and look how big these tits are threads but actual ones with discussion and original content coming in get pruned?

Again, backlinking has zero barring on this. The people from last thread simple move on to the next. If they have a unfinished thought, the existence of a backlink does nothing to deter or encourage then to post. To destroy any sort of thread continuity you'd have to get new posters entirely. Besides why cut a discussion simply because it happen to land on post number 500

New threads shouldn't be made at bump limit. They should be made when the thread is actually about to die within the next 15 minutes.

Can we also get rid of "x-girl x-days" threads that stretch on for 3 days because fags keep bumping them? Literally the most cancerous template circle jerking threads.

>>161302972
Mods make /jp/ great again when?

>>161302952
Statistics.

I noticed a while ago that this place has become /vg/ 2.0, communities within the community. I guess it's admirable that the mods basically want "old /a/" back, but I wonder if it's possible. Generals seem like what all of 4chan is constantly trending towards.

>>161302983
Okay, that shit is still going to be hidden.

>>161302983
How about making a OP with a decent thread saying "NEW CHAPTER RELEASED, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE NEW CHAPTER" instead of having the OP be "What's your favorite Jojo ship? Mine is Jotaro x Kakyoin"?

>But no one makes new ones. Are people afraid of responsibility? Are they just lazy? Is there no real way to shill your forum to get a community going anymore? Who knows.
There is no reason to because every corner of the website is perpetually infected by cancer. It doesn't matter how deep you search, there's always going to be a loud group of politically motivated retards who turn everything into a discussion about race. I know plenty of anime-themed .tor textboards and dial up bulletin boards that get less than one post per month and even those places are full of cancer. So why even bother creating a new website when it's always doomed to go into shit? The internet is just dead.
>>161302926
Not really. There has been a lot of rotation in the mod team. And it didn't start off as anything secret (his friends) so much that a thread was made about the grand opening.

If drawthreads are allowed why do they keep getting pruned everytime they're made today despite adhering to these "new rules"? What the hell mods?

>>161303019
If the mods want the old /a/ back then they need to do some crazy insane shit and stir up the status quo.

Just make /ag/ for all the generals and send all the drawthreads of to /ic/ or whatever so people don't have to look at their low-functioning autism anymore.

It's because people use threads on this site as a chatroom and form communities separate from the board or even site itself. I really don't think people ever really read what moot wrote when he talked about this stuff.

You'll have to do with voluntary moderators known as janitors.

>>161303228
someone would always say something mean along with sage so it became associated with negativity

>>161303151
>drawfags don't know what to do unless we spam our shitty porn requests that never get done at them all day every day

/jp/ has an OC thread that does just fine. If a drawthread can't sustain itself without people dumping hundreds of unanswered requests into it constantly, why even bother having it? At that point it's basically just an /r/ begging thread.

>>161302996
>Muh semantics

Want to try actually replying to my post instead of making assumption and spouting random irrelevant rules?

>>161303217
It's only because /a/ is about as beta as your average harem MC that they'd bend over and let the new rules dictate their behavior.

Something like this on /v/ would just get laughed at. And most of the other boards are closed communities to begin with.

>>161303146
I dunno. It's a real fucking shame. Kinda funny though. Literally has never been easier to talk to people all across the globe yet we still fuck it up

Welp, this ruined the only thing that was worth visiting on this site, rest well, gatari threads. Maybe I'll revisit when there's been an announcement

King Cmod and the Waves (of piss)

I have no idea how anyone can say Generals are a good thing. If you argue for Generals, just going to /vg/ for 10 minutes will make you want to never have to deal with them ever again.

>>161303274
>Something like this on /v/ would just get laughed at
Oh yeah. Because /v/ is a bastion of quality.

>>161303262
But I am always mean, and I always sage.
There is no correlation between the two.

Is this thread on auto-sage?

>>161303329
>Katawa Shoujo general still up when I last checked
The 'discussion' I read was depressing

>>161302217
Been here long enough to know it's just the good ol' new jannie trolling ritual.

I give one week till things are back to normal.

>>161303329
I know janitors when I see them.

>>161303288
>run scripts to count their (You)s
can't you just ctrl+f?

>>161303355
Yes. Please be a little less nu

>>161303329
It's more the fact that mods are nuking all threads for any series that has or has had a general

>>161303272
It has symbolic value.
>this is the thread. It has 3 replies so far and this is the topic. Click here to reply.

>>161303383
That would only work in one thread.
Anon means the lifetime amount of (You)s gained since installing the script.

>Mods autosaging our permitted meta thread
Can't take any criticism, can you?

>>161303383
CTRL+F doesn't get stored client-side to count global (You)s, anon. People are actually doing this right now on /a/.

>>161303274
Any person who has been on /a/ for more than a year knows that this sticky is trash from the trash dimension.
Don't try to project your insecurities on an entire board.

>>161303255
>If idiots chose to use sage as a downvote how does that hurt the board?
Kill yourself retard.

>>161303355
Yeah.

>>161303189
Well, that makes more sense.

Still. I'm not gonna complain. Part of the reason those threads tanked so hard was that people would not stop making thread after thread. It won't be like it used to, but it'll help.

>>161303357
Each post could probably include one word from the VN and they'd have recited it a couple times over in the threads up until today. It's honestly actually kind of impressive that people could circlejerk so much.

>>161303380
I doubt that. People have called me a janitor countless times, just because I tell them to follow some of /a/'s rules.

>>161303329
It's probably just people from the generals claiming generals are great and totally not full of autists trying to create ebin identities for themselves and dank memes only they understand until its such a closed community no one else even bothers to come in anymore. The only reason this is even a big deal is because mods promised 3 years ago they would deal with generals and instead let them pustulate until they felt like they were invincible.

>>161303329
I think the bigger issue is them deleting threads that have actual reasons to be up. Like with people discussing the newest chapter or episode.

>>161303432
I spent the most time of my life in my bed, sleeping. Doesn't mean that's the most important thing about my life.

>>161303432
/a/ has never been the biggest board. It was always just the one that moot and mods cared about the most.

>>161303357
>700+ posts from <20 IPs

At least, that's what I saw a few months ago. Keeping that much nostalgia for something that's not gonna give you any more content is just depressing.

>>161303248
That's because mods encourage the existence of generals on /jp/ because it used to be called japan/general or some reason like that

>>161303419
>he doesn't keep keep a tally on his wall like a prisoner counting the days

Why did they remove ghost posting?

>>161303453
>promised 3 years ago
Wasn't it at least 5?

>>161302996
New threads should be made when there's something to discuss beyond the recycled memeing and bickering that runs on and on ad nauseum in generals.

If you had some great epiphany regarding Jasminka as a LWA thread is about to die and you want to discuss it, don't just start another generic LWA thread to enable endless shipper spam, start a thread specifically to discuss whatever was on your mind. And if it dies in 5 posts so be it. Other people simply didn't find it as captivating as you.

>>161303485
Had a good chuckle.

Reminder that Sheldon is a MAL mod now.
I miss the old /a/ personalities.

>>161303499
So you keep your butthurt when the thread gets archived or pruned and you didn't get the last word in a discussion

>>161303482
The reason why /jp/ was created was to contain everything mods didn't like to see on /a/. Ronery, Touhou, etc. Moot hated /jp/ from the beginning and mods continued to carry this tradition until the Great Janny Wars and the subsequent birth of the Great 19 Spinoff Clans

>>161303505
True. I was talking specifically about continuation threads, when those are merited.

>>161303499
http://desuarchive.org/desu

basically someone retard shitposter spammed ghost with "crackships" to enrage one hyperautist

>>161303450
Bullshit. The normal drawthreads are full of like 3 people filling it to the brim with porn and fucking fgo with a few others that trickle in with semi-interesting things or doodles. At least the waifu one consistently gets good art and lots of it - if the mods would work on getting rid of lolyfag and poyo everytime they decide to spurt their autism, it'd be golden.

>>161303556
Autism is the lifeblood of 4chan, don't use this word as an insult.

>>161303556
Who are they and what did they do?

>>161303589
Autism

>>161303589
Get rekt spergy.

>>161303556
it's literally the same shit as the regular drawthread except with people pretending to be nice for a brief moment inbetween tearing each other to shreds and making sure to reset their router inbetween requests so no one realizes it's ALSO the same 3 people filling it to the brim with their harem

>>161303632
>>161303645
Does my superior intellect and abstraction make you upset?

>>161303661
Yes, I'm going to kill myself right now.

>>161303764
This, fucking hell. There's so many boogeymen and dedicated shitposters nowadays I've lost count. I only know of the one who's the reason why this anti-yuri mentality is the norm now nowadays.

>>161303825
>gets a whole board for yuri
>still wants to shit up this one
Are yurifags the pajeets of /a/?

>>161303825
Anti-yuri mentality is the norm because you guys are literally just male fujoshi yaoi fangirls

ban greentexting

>>161303856
Then why don't fujos get shitposted to death too, then?

I guess I'll /myblog/ since may as well, but I'm just finding it harder and harder to keep up with the ongoing seasonal shows now. The voices I loved and used to know in the shows when I'd watch next to everything available in a season are all cycling out and I don't care for the new generation. The shows seem declining in enjoyability season after season.

I wish I could gain that spark back and watch it all, but there's just nothing.

>>161303865
No that's dumb.

>>161303873
Lurk more.

>>161302771
ffs is a valid acronym.

>>161303865
That'll never happen, even 7chan stopped banning for stuff like that.

>>161303873
They do

>>161303885
To be fair, the past few seasons have been a little shitter then usual

>>161303910
Bullshit. I see YoI threads all the time and they all reach 500+ posts without issue and all the fujos are happy and dandy. There's also the It's Time threads too.

>>161303825
You mean the guy who goes to every cute girls/sol threads and quotes any lewdpost directed at the characters he ships because they're "implying the girls are straight"?

I miss when the biggest kind of shitposter we had to deal was people like LRD.

>>161303873
There's less of them. Which brings up a good point.

MODS! ARE HOMO THREADS STILL OKAY? They never chain or backlink threads, and they discuss a wide variety of topics. Each individual bl oneshot isn't high-profile enough to get attention in threads, so they serve a purpose. I'd say more purpose than the buyfags. And they are a long running /a/ tradition.

>>161303909
That's because 7chan is a shithole that doesn't matter especially when /v/ kiddies from 8ch decided to shit up all other alt-chans in their quest to find an imageboard that is not as terrible as 8ch

>>161303873
>>161303940
>>161303910
Because fujo is the default state of every female.
Female pandering = Yaoi
And straight porn is the default state of males
Male pandering = straight hentai
And because /pol/shits, straightshits and girls all hate yurishit it attracts more shitposters.

>>161303978
I want Accelspam back.

>>161303979
They were never okay. Fuck off you scum tumblrinas.

>>161303948
no, the guy who literally believes anyone who posts a yuri ship they dont like is a single guy who apparently dedicated his life to tormenting him and him alone.

Can we bring back Panda threads? Atleast one per week.

>>161304008
No you don't, anything but that.

>>161303979
Template threads.
Just report buyfag threads as well.

>>161304008
Me too, honestly.

They were tradition when gay fanart was A JOKE, the threads were co-opted and perverted to hell and back by tumblr fujoshits. Fuck off

When all is said and done, most of you are alright and it's a pleasure posting and shitposting with you all.
