Personal thoughts on the sticky

- Threads in /a/ should be primarily based on anime/manga discussion. Consider using either >>>/e/, >>>/y/, >>>/c/, >>>/h/ or >>>/cm/ for image sharing threads, and >>>/bant/ or >>>/trash/ for generals which have long since exhausted all fresh discussion.

Agreed. Drawthreads for example should go in /i/, or whichever relevant board pending the theme. I disagree with /bant/ and /trash however. For Aniome, we really need an Anime General board.

>- Discussion should be centered on series and characters, not the posters or communities that discuss said series and characters.

More or less agree on this. I think its fine to mention a particular Youtuber, for example, in a post when referencing something they said, however entire threads should not be made about them in relation to an anime or manga they are discussing.

>- Aim for original discussion or content, both when creating OPs and posting inside threads, and allow threads to die naturally.

It's hard to always be original. Once one person has made a thread on a topic, any subsequent thread is no longer "original". This is also a problem for posters who were never part of a thread in the past, and therefore don't know that a particular topic may have already been covered. Duplicate threads are bound to happen. There is no way to control that.

>- Request threads belong on >>>/r/ or >>>/wsr/, and “spoonfeeding” is not encouraged as that degrades the point/validity of using those other boards. Lurk and learn, rather than demand chores from the board.

While I agree to some extent, it's important to understand that if you're searching for /a/ related sources, /a/ is your absolute best bet to receive information. The majority of times people will even go to /r/ or /wsr/, is if they themselves have a request. I believe that if a person makes a post in an /a/ thread with some claim or a supposed "spoiler" or leak, other posters should have the right to request that poster to provide a source, instead of being sent to /r/ or /wsr/.

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

Honestly, shouldn't these threads belong more on boards like /toy/? If /a/, as mentioned in a prior point, is meant primarily for anime/manga discussion, then figures are mere material objects that don't contribute to the discussion of the anime or the manga. The ONLY time I can think of where this is okay, is if a figure spoils a plot element before it has been shown in the anime/manga.

What do you think, /a/? I'd love to know everyone's opinions.

I want to fuck Mycroft Canner.

The board would be better without OP, so just get out.

>Please avoid making threads in “general” or “template” formats. Avoid chaining threads, copy-pasting OPs, backlinks, and the like.

Why, this would improve threads about popular topics by providing easy access to info.

>- Request threads belong on >>>/r/ or >>>/wsr/, and “spoonfeeding” is not encouraged as that degrades the point/validity of using those other boards. Lurk and learn, rather than demand chores from the board.

Start banning OP's that bait spoonfeeders by posting cropped porn and the anti-spoonfeeders who take the opportunity to completely derail threads with their shit.

Rules won't work since it means Mods actually have to do some work all the time. Might seem promising for the next few weeks but give it a month and we'll still have the same general issue just under a different guise.

>>161307732
>Why? What purpose does enforcing this restriction serve?
Because general threads are cancer and unnecessary. If you have something to discuss start a thread about it if you have nothing to discuss, don't. There does not need to be a thread up 24/7 when there is nothing specific to discuss. And we don't need a cancerous /ag/ board.

>Does this mean its okay to have entire pages of /a/ dedicated with separate threads on one single anime, as long as each thread is unique in some way?
Yes.

>What separates this from spamming?
The "unique" part.

>I think its fine to mention a particular Youtuber, for example, in a post when referencing something they said
No, it's not, because nobody wants to give these subhumans attention and you should not care about them or watch their content.

>It's hard to always be original.
If the previous thread which discussed the topic has been flushed from the board, it's original again. Every repost is a repost repost.

OP here.

I'm sorry /a/. I didn't realize there was already a meta thread >>161307998

I somehow missed it when I made this one. I tried to delete this thread so I could repost in that one but it won't let me.

Please have mercy on me mods.

I think it's okay if you want to talk about Re:Zero or Konosuba, LWA or whatever the fuck every couple of days. But when retards purposefully bump a thread that's on page 10 with some inane shit like "Megumeme my waifu" or something obviously just to keep the thread alive it's infuriating. Hopefully mods will start clamping down on stuff like this.

>>161308006
/a/ was already loosely structured like /vg/. Now the mods have turned it to /v/. Expect /v/ tier garbage threads to follow soon.

>>161308194

There is nothing left to discuss, everything has been already talked to death, it's just a general for shitposting about a shit anime which pisses me off whenever I see it

The only time "anti-spoonfeeding" leads to thread derailment is when the saucefaggots throw a hissy fit and make it a point to shit up a thread because they aren't competent enough to find their own porn. Any otherwise it's almost always just two or three guys saying 'lurk more' or 'fuck off', nice try attempting to shift the blame though. If that was going to work we wouldn't have this sticky right now.

Which is stupid because this is a blue board to begin with, so no one should be posting any porn, thereby leading people to ask for sauce.

Fucking go to /e/ or /h/ for that shit. Christ.

Some of the those generals have probably been a round long then you have been posting

Gotta call these threads pl/a/cebo generals at this point.

>>161308393
It'll do the opposite you fucktard, because a slam on shitposting will only make things better instead of sending this place to /v/ levels before /vg/ was made.

I think currently airing shows with threads shouldn't be considered generals

People should learn to let go and stop making threads in chains when there's nothing to discuss anymore.

Absolute mongs promoting any sort of anime general board should kill themselves painfully
Is it so hard to understand that shitposters and ledditors and undesirables will frequent both boards and just drive up site costs with no real improvement to /a/'s current userbase at all?
Guess it's literally rocket science since you're advertising /vg/ as a high standard for your generalshit

>generals get deleted
>shitposting noticeably increases

Was there ever doubt that those threads were all cancer? Just send them all to >>>/trash/ honestly.

Once a thread hits page 8 it should go on autosage.

I can only speak for myself but I've completely stopped posting on /v/ and only exclusively post on /vg/ in the threads I'm actually interested in.

I don't see how that's a bad thing.

/vg/ is a containment board, but it also allows posters to focus their interests and replies where they really care to.

Certain generals of certain series have made me come to loathe ever trying to discuss it on /a/. In some cases it makes to start to actively dislike the series I used to love which is retarded since I'm perceiving the quality of an anime by the quality of its threads. I realize this sounds retarded but I can't help it. Generals are bad.

Its about time mods cracked down on the generals.

Who wants to bet that the mods will just stop bothering with whatever it is that they're doing, within a week ot so?

Look, there is literally NO REASON not to have an Anime General board.

Many /a/ posters clearly think generals are cancer. Meanwhile, many think generals are necessary, if nothing but to at least contain posters instead of having them shit up other threads.

You kill two birds with one stone by making a separate Anime General board. That way, /a/ is free of generals, and those who want them still have them.

How is this solution not optimatl?

i'm gonna post here so i can see more people raging about stupid shit for a longer period of time

So are all seasonal anime only going to have 1 thread a week now or something because almost all anime have topics for it going each day.

>>161309245
Exactly. The rest can go to MAL or ANN, I'm sure they'll find themselves at home there.

>>161309282
You know these have been around way fucking longer the that right?

>>161308996
>Why is anime allowed on /a/

>>161309286
Well than I recommend you go to a place where generals are a constant! >>>/r/eddit

>>161309225
The former exists to sustain the thread itself and its habitants, the latter exist because the discussion is there to sustain it.

>>161309245
Exactly. Go back to gaia.

>I hate generals they're cancer!

>Oh but they should stay here please!

A human fucking being can be this retarded. I mean, I think I know how they fucking voted last year

>>161309285

In that case, here's some food for thought.

What would require the least moderation/energy required?

Constantly policing /a/ and actively removing chained generals because they are considered not allowed, or making an entire board where they can be left alone to flourish with minimal oversight?

Making a separate /ag/ - Anime General board would still result in the least expended energy.

>>161309294
Cry me a river bitch.

>>161309318
I'm not agreeing with you anon. You're biased as fuck. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it needs to go dickhead.

>>161309333
But I don't like reddit, the shitposting here is better.

>>161309294
This, fuck this shitty site. Reddit is better anyway.

>>161309357
Who are you quoting?

>>161309361
Why need a river when you're going down with /a/

>>161309225
A general indicates it needs to keep going past it's conclusion and has a sense of "this particular show has this community that you must adhere to or else". Discussion indicates that the discussion will end at some point. If someone wants to continue said discussion they may at another time but there is no obligation to.

tl;dr, one thinks their thread must be up 24/7

>>161309359
Lazy moderation =/= good moderation. /vg/ was a mistake. /bant/ was a mistake.

>>161309384
>the shitposting here is better.
How about /pol/ or /v/?

>>161308922
Fish threads always used to get deleted, they're like the flanfly threads on /jp/. They were half a protest against moderation to begin with.

>>161309396
You're free to leave anytime. Just don't come back.

>>161309322
Of course. But they were usually for flavors of the season or shounen manga. Now it's like "every show that gets some attention needs a general and we must keep generaling even after the show ends"

>>161309416
100% this.
/bant/ was suppose to help take a load off of /pol/'s cancer but it didn't do anything and now /pol/ has two boards now.

>>161309416

I never said that lazy moderation was good moderation.

I'm speaking strictly in terms of efficiency.

Moderators can better use their time and energy taking care of problems on their respective boards instead of having to deal with the constant influx of reporting in /a/ regarding generals.

Don't you want 4chan to be more efficient?

>>161309359
>What would require the least moderation/energy required?
You realize this is the problem right? We need actual moderation sometimes, not moderation that's more convenient

>>161309435
I'll be sad if we no longer get the Sakurafish though. It's even on that picture at the top of the page at times.

wait would a:
"post lewd best girls" and
"drawthread"
"scanlation thread"
be considered generals?
they are old as fuck.

>>161309476
What's more efficient is if you and your braindead ilk all offed yourselves.

I am so glad that teenage shounen genralshitters are getting assblasted and leaving for reddit

>>161309513
Read the guidelines again, retard.

>>161309359
What kind of idiot thinks it's easier to moderate two boards instead of one?
> or making an entire board where they can be left alone to flourish with minimal oversight?
Are you trying to make a joke? It's not "flourish", it's "rot". Discussion in generals degenerate into chatrooms. What you're advocating for here is low quality threads.

Yes, they aren't any different as they get posted each day and night. Even though I like them because it gives me sometimes new anime to check out.

>The /a/ draws cromatie cancer allowed
>The /a/ sings/christmas/valentines cancer probably also allowed by extension
>Letting the worst offenders that have almost no relation to anime off the hook

Although these had some merit years ago, today they have become reddit magnet and most people posting in them just do so because they want to in the "le epic screencap/collage/video" moment.

Reminder that the only people who keep shitposting are the spics and dbsshitters and snktumblrtards now that they can't swim in their own pools of shit anymore.

>>161309541
>tfw /v/ doesnt have a sticky
And how is it doing these days?

>>161309225
A general can have anything in the OP and faggots can post anything as long as it pertains to the series in question or, as the thread begins to repeat itself with more and more stale memes, the general itself.

Discussion-centred threads have one topic and only posts that pertain to the topic are considered naturally on-topic. Tangents happen occasionally but are considered to be derailing the thead if there is prolonged discussion.

It's not that generalfags can't discuss their favrit series, it's about post quality. Figure out what your point is when making thread/post and nobody will complain.

>>161309576
>that they can't swim in their own pools of shit anymore.
The spics can just walk outside though, their entire countries and giant heaps of shit

>>161309552
It says in the sticky we can keep throe ones as long as they don't "look" like a general and that sounds kinds dumb, but those threads are at least useful.

>>161309476
>Don't you want 4chan to be more efficient?
How do you quantify efficiency if you're not a mod or janitor? It's not like you're able to see everything that gets reported in the first place

Can someone tell me what this golden age of /a/ you speak of what looked like? What it sounds like to me is basically /b/ but with anime.

>>161309541
Yeah because /v/ is such a good board.

>>161309647
sfw /b/ with anime

>>161309538

Here's how I see it:

-Moderating /a/ with generals
constantly having to deal with people reporting threads which may or may not actually be generals
on top of all the other reporting that goes on with NSFW stuff, etc.

Versus

-Moderating /a/, and Moderating /ag/
-mods on /a/ can focus on the actual issues/rules being broken with A
mods on /ag/ can focus on the regular rules being broken such as NSFW or illegal content

The separation helps completely remove generals from the moderation equation ENTIRELY. The only exemption would be people who still try to post generals on /a/ instead of /ag/, but the frequency would still be lower, and therefore more efficient.

>>161309600
Doesnt really differ from /a/. You faggots always having a hissy fit if some shithead mentions /v/ but in the end your just as bad as /v/

>>161307732
Kill yourself OP

>>161309357
/a/ is not a single mind. But that being said, the majority of /a/ does enjoy the generals outline even if not explicitly stated in its OP. Even with these rules people will just find new ways to circumvent. So instead of going on general witch hunts it's best to just make a new board and see how it pans out.

>>161309703
The difference between /v/ and /a/ is that a not/pol/ thread will get insta-deleted on /a/ but nobody cares on /v/.

>>161309698
Here's how I see it:

Get rid of generals. /a/ is happy. Cancerous fucktards fuck off.
vs.
Make /ag/. Cancerous fucktards are everywhere to proliferate. Nobody is happy.

>>161309698
Or just make your generals in /trash/ or /bant/. Separation done.

>>161309698
Well that would require having more than one mod allocated to /a/

>>161309761
>But that being said, the majority of /a/ does enjoy the generals outline
No I don't think that's true at all.

>>161307732
As long as they remove the loli content I'll be okay without generals. But like anons have said it'll just force them to post in other threads with the same tendency.

>>161309698
>constantly having to deal with people reporting threads which may or may not actually be generals
The severity of this issue is temporary, it's laughable if you think it's anything but short-term problem.

>>161308365
Roll

>>161309761
>But that being said, the majority of /a/
Since when did crossboarders maker up the majority of /a/?

>>161309647
Like but people knew when to let a thread and topic die.

>>161309555
There are more attentionwhores than I'd like but OC is rare enough as it is. As long as they aren't too regular, I'd give them a pass.

>>161309808
This.

>>161309698
Or you could get rid of generals entirely, not make an /ag/ and then the only people who care are whining fucktards who will eventually fuck off after a month. Wow, so easy

>>161309773
>hurr muh /pol/
but then again we got /m/ and /jp/ because /a/ are full of faggots getting mad at anything they dont like. Looks just like /v/ getting mad about pokemon, retro, and vidya generals to me

>>161309698
Instead of having two boards moderated by two mods, just have two mods moderate /a/ until the shitposters are gone.

JESUS FUCK WHY CAN'T YOU RETARDS JUST HAVE YOUR GENERALS IN >>>/trash/

IT'S NOT LIKE YOU FUCBOIS ARE INTERACTING WITH THE REST OF THE BOARD AND VICE VERSA, IT WOULD LITERALLY BE NO DIFFERENT BUT WITH THE ADDED BONUS THAT YOU CAN EVEN POST NSFW SHIT IN YOUR THREADS NOW

SHIT SOUNDS EVEN BETTER
JUST MOVE THERE
HONESTLY

>>161309808

The problem with /bant/ is that it's TOO diverse.

Anime related threads there will most likely, and can very easily be shitted up with posters who don't contribute anything and care nothing for anime. /bant/ is basically /b/ with flags.

If people want anime generals without threat of being shitted up, they need their own board.

>>161309698
>constantly having to deal with people reporting threads which may or may not actually be generals
Is this your only argument. You realize this isn't actually going to be a serious issue past a few weeks right? Maybe not even past next week

>>161309698
>Moderating /a/ with generals
Just delete the generals when they are reported. It is extremely obvious when you see one.

>Moderating /a/ and /ag/
Inefficient and a massive drain on bandwidth the way /vg/ is due to all the generals bumping on page 10. /trash/ can already handle these generals.

>>161309908
You don't have to interact with anyone outside of your general on /bant/ or /trash/ so it isn't an issue.

>>161309908
>If people want anime generals without threat of being shitted up
But they want anime generals in the first place which means they will be shitted up or be shit regardless. The best thing to do is remove them, not give a fuck and let them peter out or live on /trash/

Sad. I advocate for everyone, not just one side.

does /a/ and /co/ share the same mods?

The only people who hate loli are virtue signalling real life pedos in denial.

>>161309826
>As long as they remove the loli content
This is the kind of person who wants generals folks

>>161309908
>shitted up with posters who don't contribute anything and care nothing for anime
So business as usual in general land.

>>161309967
Then so will generals even if they get deleted, deal with it.

>>161309979
What's the problem? It's not like you idiots are even going to interact with them? You'll all be within the confines of your retarded cesspools.

>>161309986
If you guys cared about /a/ you wouln't have forced these shitty generals here.

>>161310000
Wh-what?

>>161309986
Anybody who wants generals at all on /a/ should go fuck themselves yes

>>161309996
Probably. I know that /a/ and /cgl/ does. I think it's the same whiteknight on all three "feminine" boards.

>>161310000
The only people who support are genuine pedos. That's not something to be proud of anon.

>>161309761
It's not about threads being technicaly generals or not, it's about the mentality that comes with it, like making the same op, editions, info pasta, circlekerks, still making threads when there's nothing to discuss. Chaining threads about seasonal shows has been a thing since forever and never a problem,, just don't cross the line to generals.

My thoughts in a nutshell.

>>161310015
I think you're projecting if you think that people in generals just sit in one thread all day and not think of browsing another. But your line of reasoning is very familiar so this is the last (You)'ll get from me.

>>161309996
mods are all global, jannies are board specific

Its shit.

Mods should just remove illegal content and don't bother with policing normal content.

>>161310055
Then an /ag/ is a fantastic idea because the board will be slower overall and /ag/ mods can easily QC as they see fit.

>>161310102
Anyone who supports him and the anime circlejerk on YT need to be removed just as much.

>>161310111
>Mods should just remove illegal content and don't bother with policing normal content.
Did you not see what the Dragon Ball generals look like?

>>161310083
Can you not have multiple tabs of different threads? Just have a /trash/ tab of your general and browse /a/ in the mean time.

Are you actually braindead?

>>161309698
Generalfags are undesired citizens on 4chan. Generals are pretty much subreddits. Making a board for anime generals would only encourage them to come here.

>>161310130
But that would involve splitting the board and advocating generals which only the people who like generals (which is the hard minority) care about. The best thing to do for the board is remove them, let them stew in /trash/ where they belong and move on

>ghoul thread got deleted
Feels good

>>161310137
No because I don't watch it.

>>161310027
>>161310036


Either you guys are shitty trolls or you're truly blind.

Just imagine for a second that the vast majority of people on /a/ were pro-general. Now imagine those people telling you to fuck off or fuck themselves just because the things you want on /a/ are not the same as what they want on /a/.

Clearly that isn't the reality, but the point is that everyone has their preferences. People who want generals (and theres very many of them), should be able to have them. The only way to make those who DON'T want them happy, is to create an Anime General board.

>>161310137
No, as I never visited them.

>>161310134
Make Digibro a mod. Forneverworld can be a janny.

>>161310055
What about threads like /ai/ where they discuss multiple shows that are all ongoing and air at different times of the week?

>>161310216
No because generals are completely antithetical to 4chan.

Fuck off to reddit, animesuki, gaia wherever.

Give me a good reason why /ag/ is better than /trash/.

>>161310216
>Either you guys are shitty trolls or you're truly blind.
I'm not blind. I just thing generals are cancer and I've seen it happen.

>Just imagine for a second that the vast majority of people on /a/ were pro-general.
But they're not so it's irrelevant.

So are we just going to have threads of anime that aren't popular with the exception of the retarded threads saying
>flat is justice
>where did your eyes go first
>best girl in the anime thread.
Is this what I'm understanding of it all?

Just saying that bringing back the text boards will fix the general problem.

>>161310233
Like what? I am not familiar with it.

>>161310264
/ag/ would presumably be a moderated topical discussion board where dedicated fans of a series could discuss things, whereas /trash/ has no rules and is furry central.

>>161309428
But I like anime and manga memes. Generals often contribute to their creation.

>>161310316
>presumably
Not good enough of a reason.

>>161310316
People can discuss anime on /a/ in discussion threads. Just not on a general.

>>161310313
Aikatsu, Pripara and others, but those are the main two.

>>161310288
>I just thing generals are cancer and I've seen it happen
>I just thing

In other words, that's your opinion, which has been validated by various anecdotal occurrences.

Completely opposite of that, there are people who have the opinion that generals are not cancer, and they enjoy posting in them.

Neither opinion is inferior to the other.

>>161310316
/ag/ will be the same cancer that /vg/ is.

>>161310264
/ag/ would be basically old /a/

>>161310264
/trash/ is just like /b/ with shitposts of all forms, least with generals some anons even the smallest amounts have discussions. You'd just get people posting memes and the like in them if it wasn't on it's own board.

>>161310130
I don't know if the advocates for a anime general board have this in mind but the current policy for new boards is that they need to have high demand. This idea is not only unwanted but unwarranted.

While we're at it could we please ban ESL posters, the vast majority of ESL posts are absolute garbage and they're the ones populating cancerous shonenshit generals.

So, are the mods finally going to be doing something about the daily reposting?
>SakuraFish
>Suzaku
>Rin
>Shinka
>8 o'clock
And yes, I know full well that some of these are sacred, time-honored "board culture", but they encourage newfags. They're also garbage.

>>161310361
Why the fuck do you even bother, moron? You don't like general and call them cancer then you should let them go on their way. Not even your business at this point really

>>161310187
The board is being split anyhow. We now have widespread shitposting from people trying to edge in a thread that is best meant as a post in a general. Nobody but /b/shits want to go to /trash/ and risk having someone slide in with bestiality or pony garbage. It's odd you find it cool to have to scroll post multiple threads with under 20 posts asking asinine questions about the same series. If generals are so bad then they ought to lower the post count to 300 or something, since extended discussion is a bigger sin than widespread shitposting.

Oh this threads on autosage

>>161310394
>Suzaku
you mean the "why didn't he just kill Suzaku?"
