>new rules Enough is enough. The time for /ag/ has come.

>>161310532
You need to kill yourself. Stop shitting the board up with your shitty thread no one is going to read and take serouisly.

>The time for /ag/
Nope

>>161310532
Fuck off.

Just put every general on One dedicated board for the entire site. Make it 100 pages long.

Mods please autosage this one too

Kill yourself.

>>161310532
I commend you to analyze these repeating digits.

I really like the idea of /ag/, but honestly? You'd be hard-pressed to even name 25 threads that could go into /ag/ and there needs to be at least 100 of them before you should think about dedicating a board with 165 spaces to one.

Generals?
http://www.strawpoll.me/13741096

How sad must it be that someone can't consider posting about their show on /a/ unless it's in a general. It's amazing.

What is /ag/?
btw it's really time we turned /a/ into a yuri board!

I think the mods have a point, unlike /v/ and /vg/, where it's possible to consistently have 'fresh' discussion of a particular game even years after it's been released, it seems to me that it is not the same case for /a/-related content (at least not consistently, obviously you could have generals for ongoing series but you probably don't need an entire board for that)

>>161310577

Splitting /a/ into /ag/ or god forbid a manga board would slow this place down to a crawl. The only threads on this board are either generals or template /e/-bait threads.

Certain generals are permitted such as buyfag, drawfag and panda threads.

Holy shit Dragonballfags are really angry about this. This should have happened a long time ago, they can't understand that acting like a rules lawyer cunt is just going to end poorly for them. They are mostly Reddit refugees anyway. People who were too cancer for Reddit. Let that sink in.

Well yeah. Half of them didn't even really browse /a/. They were cross-boarders and people from outside just wanting shitpost their memes

>>161310658
It's not that, anon, people like to talk about their favorite shows without an objective in mind, just to talk about it, theories and shit.

Now they banned generals, this will become a shitfest of threads of the same shows or disguised generals, so there's really no point in banning them.

Seriously idiots, listen.
This >>161301962 isn't anything more than ironic. Read it, you can feel the irony there. Mods are less than redditors, they know less than reddits, they're the best reddit themselves. Never ever doubt this.

3x3 threads aren't against the rules. Laugh all you want but 3x3 thread aren't generals, they're too irregular but we're getting purged all the same.

What the fuck do you want then? This shit ain't logical.

>>161310821

You can still do that even without generals, threads go off on tangents all the fucking time even without the general mentality, it's normal.

>>161310835
But he wasn't taking about moefags?

My only issue with this anti- general stance is that the only thing that makes a general thread is the word general in the OP. I've been in several where they got deleted if the OP had this word then were recreated without it five seconds later and they reached 600 posts. Makes me wonder if it's just a script that checks it.

Thread is on autosage.

Complain all you want retards.
We're on shitpost containment mode now and nobody's listening.

>>161310835
>>161310816
I don't give a shit about them, I just want them to hurry up and get the message to fuck off and to stop polluting the board with garbage mini generals.

>>161310873
So what's the fucking point in banning them? Threads like that just become a general with another name.

Popular currently airing anime threads are going to turn into generals no matter what the mods try to do. Stop bitching.

/ag/ should happen just so fate shitters and Dragonball shitters can stop making millions of threads to shitpost and for Yugioh shitters and Little witch shitters to stop reviving their dead threads make it a red board too, anything to get the cancer off /a/

Now that /a/ is going to hell.

Are there any other places where people can freely and anonymously talk about anime?

Closest thing is reddit if you can handle being a tripfag and not being able to call anything bad without being downvoted to oblivion.

No, you heard that right, MOBAs bring so much shit even /v/ got rid of them.

Which is why I'm asking if there isn't anything.

>>161310532

Generals are what kill discussion and slow the board down. If you have all the same people circlejerking in a thread with no real content to talk about anymore, they're still occupying a thread slot on the board which could go to discussion about a different series that hasn't been talked to death about yet.

>>161310835
These niggers of the anime community will now spam thread after thread to discuss every shit about their nigger anime that cross their minds, instead of having a general and a thread here and there to discuss the new episodes or shit like that.

What about legit discussion that takes over a lot of time and can't fit into one thread, so people continue in a new thread, referencing back to the earlier discussion? Because apparently it's not allowed.

>>161311066

That's irrelevant because it doesn't stop someone else from making a thread about a different series.

Likewise, if an existing thread isn't garnering enough attention not to get pruned/deleted, then how is that the fault of a thread that is clearly much more popular and having many more replies?

No, the state of mind is okay. I mean that's how /a/ has always worked. It's when you make that state of mind public and say "this mentality is only allowed for people who share that mentality and if you don't adhere to this community for this specific show, fuck off" is when there's a problem

3x3 threads were good when they weren't swarmed by Kenji and Digibro fags and newshit that didn't rate. Fuck we used to be able to talk about our 3x3s then.

Fucking five or six threads about DBS and more coming.

>>161311291

Apparently /a/ can't or else mods wouldn't moderate.

>>161311332
Dragon Ball Niggers have no sense of irony or humour, that comment was likely meant at face value and even if it wasn't it's still shit.

>>161311266
WAIT I GUESS DRAGON BALL POSTERS ARE FINE LADS

Is anyone else thinking that the DBS shitstorm is orchestrated? I've seen the threads so I don't think there is a need to spam the board to make people hate them.

>>161311309
Linking threads is a quality of life thing, it's not necessary but there's nothing setting with it. But it's one of the few things that ticks off the delete script.

>>161311309
>discussion reaches autosage
>"let's continue it!"
>5 new threads pop up and not only push threads off the board but also confuse everyone, possibly leading to multiple of the same threads filling up and continuing the problem

>>161311345

Again, this issue could be easily solved by just making a separate fucking Anime General board.

Then no one on /a/ would have to worry about the generals taking up space or potentially knocking a thread off the board, when they have their own fucking board to post shit in.

>>161311390
It contains the dbsfags.

>>161311345
>Is it popular because of good, on-topic discussion?
What is no thread on /a/?

>>161311307
Sure. One thing the Samuria really emphasised was how they allowed the normal citizens to do their own thing as long as this didn't interfere with the Samurai's lord. So even newly conquered people were allowed to continue their daily lives. The Samuria took this very seriously, because they knew it was the correct and honorable way.

So the /a/ mods could learn this and realize it would be best to leave the generals be, as long as they do not disrupt the peace.

what does dragon ball have to do with the sticky?

>>161311390
>Give me one good reason why /ag/ is better than /trash/.

If every thread is discussing a different aspect, then it's not spamming.
If they use a single thread for everything, it's a general.

>>161311773
threads don't have to be on 24/7

Jesus fuck just publicly ban OP already.

God damn mouth breather.

>>161311765

How do you possibly now how long those "slots" are taken up? Who is to say that each of those DB Super Threads each don't hit 400+ replies and last for hours?

Your argument is flimsy and has no substance.

>>161311807
No, the spammers will get their bans.
Removing generals is good for the long run.

100% this.

Don't know how to read? Look carefully.

Manga board when?

>>161311852
It's how this board and site used to work.
A specific discussion tends to quickly wrap things up and there's no reason to keep the thread up longer than it needs to because if you want to discuss a different aspect you just make a new thread.

Man this is so obviously about Dragon Ball it hurts. None of the other generals that got banned are acting like this. In fact, many are continuing as if normal. It's the DBfags who chimped out

>>161311899
>enforce them
lmao

>>161311893
Good, you're close to convincing everyone.

>Consider using >>>/bant/ or >>>/trash/ for generals which have long since exhausted all fresh discussion.
Reminder that anything older than 1 (one) season should be posted about on /bant/ or /trash/ unless it gets fresh content.

>>161311893
Of course the generalfags are going to be flocking in these meta shitpost threads. They're the only ones getting buttfucked, rightfully so, by the sticky and recent mod activity.

Everybody else who's already happy with them getting buttfucked are off doing their own shit.

>>161311893
Who is this /a/ person?
You're just in this shitty meta thread with a bunch of crybabies wanting their feel good memes threads back.

>>161311938
Well, I don't see a general anywhere.

>>161311949
Just talk about new doujins. It worked for /lwa/

>>161311930
People changed. Either they moved on with their lives or they are still stuck here, clinging to this shithole. And they tend to cling to their threads as well.

>>161311877
I just got here, don't even know what I'm supposed to be falseflagging. All I want is fewer threads to hide.

>>161311899
Would you call that new rules? It'd be the same thing as to say "don't post pepe. /a/ isn't for discussion /pol/" etc.

>>161311930

In your own words:

"Used to work"

If you haven't noticed by now, threads are obviously extended way past their topic by shitposters and whatnot.

And, generals exist because its much less work and far easier to just piggyback on an existing thread than to make an entirely new thread that might get lost in the sea of other threads. When a general exists, people tend to stick to it.

>>161312022
Well, it's turning a softban into a hardban. And besides, if they're enforcing it now, then it's moderation in that it's now being enforced.

>>161310532
>Consider using either >>>/e/, >>>/y/, >>>/c/, >>>/h/ or >>>/cm/ for image sharing threads

Mod is either a newfag who doesn't mod /a/, out of touch with /a/ or troid posing as kinomod.

New rules are good.

That's why generals need to be banned.

>>161311834
This, not purging them allows the to ruin the entire board, just take a look at /g/.

>>161312108
I didn't say it was positive moderation, just that it was moderation.

>>161312120

Nothing really. I don't think this was thought out very well. Now I'm not bashing the mods/janitors. I applaud them for TRYING to make /a/ better, but it feels like there's lots of room for improvement on many fronts.

Why don't you generalfags just hijack /qa/ already?

Not like anybody is using that ghost town anymore.

>>161312125
This. /a/ is literally perfect as it is.

>>161312171
Pls no, /qa/ doesn't need people who can't take it easy.

>>161312131

What's so wrong about having them moved to a separate /ag/ - Anime General board?

>>161312120
one encourages generalshit

the other dies naturally once people are tired of it

>>161310774
And how exactly are slower boards bad?

>>161312120
High level of circlejerk and chat.

Mods, just disable the inline catalog for /a/.

There, problem solved.

>>161311933
I thought bnhafags would sperg out but I guess it was only 1 shitposter and 1 hate fag spamming that place.

>>161312120
Backlinking is a trademark of a general.

>>161312145
>>161312084
I get it now.

>>161312120
Backlinks are a small but significant aspect of what makes generals bad. They encourage a too-tight grouping of threads/communities. They say "this is the actual real thread, you all have to get in THIS thread to continue the discussion" - which enforces the broader "general" mentality.

>>161312213
Because that's not fixing the problem.

>>161312227
>the other dies naturally once people are tired of it
And when people never tire of it, like DB and Jojo? There's no difference besides needing to use the search bar on the catalog page.

>>161312213
Because it hurts the actual discussion and simply doesn't belong on an image board.
We are supposed to have a bump limit precisely to stop such kinds of threads but unfortunately it turned out easy to circumvent.

I don't see the problem with what the mods said

every time this happens, the OP of the threads just include a few more words about some shit nobody actually cares then eventually it just reverts back to standard generals

/a/ is becoming /v/2.0 and /co/ 2.0

>>161312213
Containment boards fundamentally don't work.

>>161312279
When the original thread dies, 3 new ones are made (killing 3 threads), then two are filtered off until "the actual real thread" remains (leaving the possibility for more than one to survive as well, leading to an increased problem at the end of those threads). Again, what's the difference?

What's the problem exactly? The sticky post seems to be perfectly in-line and reasonable with what /a/ has been trying to achieve for how many years already.

What's to complain about?

>>161312347
Wow, again? I could have sworn I've seen this same exact post multiple times a year for like seven years

>>161312348
Yes they do, if they didn't /a/ would be overun with /mlg/ fuckers and pokemon threads

>>161312377
It changes nothing except that it encourages spergs to spam threads in hope that theirs becomes the new thread.

>>161312308

Okay, but then we have boards like /vg/, which is already obviously a containment board, and everything seems to be just hunky dory over there. I don't see anyone on /v/ complaining about /vg/.

Do you then believe that /vg/ should be deleted?

Spoilers: That would only release the /vg/ posters back to /v/ to continue shitting it up even worse than it is.

>>161312326
Said above. There are many generals that attempt to start off with a more unique OP, but it just delves into their usual because of the community and habits that develop in a general. Like
>>161312064
Said.

It's going to be difficult to make all these people change. Or are some of them just posting in ghost still?

>>161312368
If it kills three threads then that means those three threads are just fulfilling the natural cycle dictated in an imageboard. If they were one page 10 then the chances are they were already on their to dying.

>>161312377
IRC isn't /a/

>>161312368
I feel like we're not speaking the same language here. Are you contending that there is nothing wrong with a general thread mentality?

>>161312443
Just because you can't put the demons back in the box doesn't necessarily mean it was a good idea to make the box in the first place

The box, in this metaphor, being what cultivated the demons

>>161312299
yes you do get constant threads but there is a difference, those threads are more likely to have discussion due to different people posting instead of the same people posting the same shit

>>161312443
>even worse
Can't be worse than constant off topic, meme and e-celeb threads

>>161312031
>dbs fans are spamming /a/
>mods aren't doing anything

We are lost

>>161310706
Sadpanda threads should never have been a thing in the first place.

>>161312446
Sure, fine. Now, what happens when it's multiple series (former generals, if that makes the concept easier) doing it? It pushes many topics off, and posters in slow topics tend to like to wait until page 8 or so to make new posts. Even then, it unfairly kills threads with actual discussion because of a sperg rush.

>>161312537
what did you expect

>>161312515

The demons will ALWAYS be there. Even if you try to get rid of the existing ones, more will come.

Far better to try and keep them all together rather than letting them run loose.

I want more waifu threads

>>161312348
Well it fucking worked until now.

>>161312487
No, but it beats the alternative which is spergs flooding the board.

>>161312520
>due to different people posting
Not really, especialy if the threads are made close together they'll attract the same people. Even then, with the search function in the catalog those same people can just look up whatever DB thread is up and talk there as usual. No difference at all.

>>161312559
Well what's the problem then? If a thread dies then just make a new one. No one's stopping anybody. Maybe next time you an anon posting in a slow thread can engage the userbase more to make the discussion even more active.

It's not anyone's fault if some threads are slow and some are not. That's just the nature of the beast.

>>161312442
They'll get tired of it, I didn't even notice the DBS thread increase before people here mentioned it. People who think this is anything close to real spam haven't seen the golden age of around 2009 just before captcha got forced into existence.

Editionshit and links are bad, anyone who tried to use /vg/ without becoming a part of the circlejerk can tell you how much that shit festers.

>>161312515
You talk like you can actually kill the demons lol

>>161312636
there is definitely a difference

take berserk threads for example

>>161312537
>>161312579
Stop flagging dbzfags you "chads" will get tired and bored from shitposting sooner or later.

>>161310658
I've no use for write-only threads. I've also no intention of hopping about in several threads about the same franchise like some methed-up monkey.

>>161312645
>If a thread dies then just make a new one.
But then it becomes a general.

pro generals vs anti generals I think the only way to solve this is to find the mods in real life and whoever kills the most gets to make /a/ in their own image.

>>161312377
There's some loopholes meaning it's just a farce. Public appearance :^)

>>161312700
I don't you know what a general actually is.

The fact is nobody wants to spread the discussion thin over a bunch of different threads. Maybe if 4chan was still more popular it would work but where we're at now generals are inevitable.

>>161312654
That specific series fanbase, yes. But there'll always be multiple series fanbases like them active at one time given how popular series cycle in and out, and the problem continues under different guises.

>>161312695
This.

>>161312751
A continuation of talk for the same subject over and over isn't a general?

>>161312636
General threads are qualitatively different from non-general threads, at least in theory, if you can get people to drop the "general" mindset. That's why they're attempting to get people to stop formatting their thread in that way. Spergs flooding the board is the natural reaction of spergs who have had their toy taken away, but the long-term goal is to try to stabilize the behavior.

>>161312654
>Editionshit and links are bad

Reminds me, when did Yuri on Ice threads finally stop?

>>161312788
>at least in theory
Theory =/= Actuality. /a/ isn't the only board I use to have tried this.

>>161312786
Shh, he himself doesn't know what he wants

>>161312017
Claiming to have changed your mind on any matter is now considered false-flagging

>>161312017
>All I want is fewer threads to hide.
You've come to the wrong board.

>>161312786
No. Because the main point of contention here is actual discussion.

>>161312788
>at least in theory
Nice

>>161312798
Did not watch it or pay attention to the threads.

>>161312858
And if it's the same people talking about it, what's the difference? New people might jump in but that'd happen the same as a general.

>>161312902
Then you don't actually care about generals, do you?

>>161312788
>at least in theory
Not even in theory. Anyone in sane mind knows how cancerous generals for example in /vg/ can be. It's like discord or IRC group chat

>>161312654
>Editionshit and links are bad, anyone who tried to use /vg/ without becoming a part of the circlejerk can tell you how much that shit festers.
This, sometimes I think it wouldn't be a absurd to say you are the only anon on 4chan or in a general. The way things are, it wouldn't be too far from reality.

>>161312255
>Chat
Is that the term you use for communicating with someone without calling them a faggot?

>>161312961

>>161312961
Outside of you know who in the magical girl threads it never gets that cancerous here though.

>>161312758
Popular series at the moment always had multiple threads at the time, like fate right now or konosuba or re:zero or whatever in recent seasons, it's not really a problem.

>>161313003

>>161313000
No.

>>161310532

Man can't wait to have god knows how many filthy hellspawns like /ksg/ in the new general board.

>>161312961
Many threads are just as bad on /v/ as non generals as they are on /vg/ as generals.

>>161312926
I don't like them as a concept, and I'm not a mod/janitor so I obviously I'll ignore them, what else do you expect me to do? Screech about them non stop? I don't get your dumbass logic.

/v/ was always bad, it's not really a valid comparison. It's just the nature of the content there being more stagnant with no equivalent of seasonal anime, and the artificial competition between consoles making everyone perma mad.
