There is no case for it, because >>>/trash/ exists.
Has anyone ever been happy with the state of /a/? Every time something changes you'll bitch about it being changed and about it not being changed enough. Have moves like this ever really been a good idea?
the state of /a/ right now
-delete /pol/
-permaban any alt-reich posts
-greatly expand the wordfilter to catch most if not all slurs
-+1/-1 on posts
-enough -1's on a post will result in a timeout
-country flags & post id's on all boards
-reduce the criteria on becoming a mod
-hire more mods
there, 99% of all boards are fixed
>>161313614
What the hell is up with the board sticky? We've never needed, hell, we've prided ourselves on never needing a board sticky. Take that damn thing down hotpocket-kun!
The mods deleted all the threads complaining about the dbs spammers
but they didn't delete a single dbs thread
Good job
>>161313721
Fuck, I'll call /tv/ then. Fuck yeah, finally crossover.
>>161313812
Well that fucking deserves a ban.
Though threads which discussing currently airing shows should surely be an exception.
>>161313842
If /trash/ was used as intended sure, but its not.
I'm really sick of these braindead moderation changes.
/a/ is dead. It's been dead for years, and banning a symptom doesn't change the cancer. All this leads to is some low effort general OPs for a few weeks until the latest mod on a crusade gets bored and gives up.
Nobody here is capable of discussion, because all of us who were here for a decade or longer have given up trying to converse with the crunchyroll subscribers. Just leave the fucking site alone, at best you'll just make it worse.

Nothing new here, you'd think they'd learned from how they fucked up all the other boards, but I guess not.
Either way these cancerous metathreads aren't any better than the dragon balls threads.

Just go to /vg/. Animes that attract generalfags also have video game spin offs. 100% of the time.
Also if you're supporting the idea of generals anywhere go to /vg/ anyways and look at what happens to threads there, and then look around the rest of the site to see what happens when general-conditioned posters leave their circlejerks

I don't want to go to the Xenoverse threads there.

>>161314137
Dragon Ball threads are being mass-manufactured by people trying to start shit. People will get bored of it by tomorrow.
>>161314074
If there's a lot of new content it's not a general. It's just a thread.
Generals are "general" because they cover complete off topic bullshit, like a general store that sells guns and gummy bears in the same aisle.

So in the end nothing was solved.
There are like 30 generals at any given time on this shit board anyway. And the rest is shitposting. Not like anything can save this board.
>>161314128
And they are full of /v/ so yeah good riddance to that cancer. Take it to leddit and talk about it there just get the fuck out already.
Why we don't get rid of the catalog while we are it?
>>161314164
Of course they are. But if you know db threads. They aren't getting bored anytime soon.
>>161314137
It'll go away soon enough.
If the mods pussy out because of a bunch of generalfags then they show weakness. If they just let them sperg out then they'll be over to /v/ by the weekend.
Lower the bump limit or bring back marked for deletion old.

also, original content, what the fuck, we have to draw our own weeb pictures now?
Ban American, Canadian, Australian, Russian, German and Italian IP adresses
>>161314257
It won't. If the general can keep going on and on, how did you think this isn't going to continue.
>>161314323
DBS threads had become as bad as Naruto threads were in the past so it's deserved
>>161314234
obviously they arent desu
dbs is only 1 year old and has new content every week and new memes on a daily basis plus 20+ years of old content
you could call it "spam" but its literally the new rules now. spam doesmt exist on /a/ only fresh topics
>>161313856

Yes, sure let's delete the fucking containment board.

Fucking retarded.
>>161314319

>>161314349
>fucking Australian
Why can't you fags just take a rest and not visit /a/ for a day and watch as how these db threads would decapitate immediately/
>>161314349
Yes. Anime should be for Japan only.
>>161313614
Fuck off.
>>161314257
Nothing will change because Mods always only pretends with those announcements.
The funny thing is most of the generals that got banned are still around, they just know how to act better in the top post. Literally nothing's changed except for DBfags
>>161314346
They should enable Robot9000 on /a/, at least for OPs. For replies it would be enough if they don't bump instead of being blocked entirely.
>>161314190
Thoses baits must not be that great then.
>>161314319
Boruto is pretty noncancerous desu. A lot of threads don't even hit the bump limit anyway.
>this whole drama
You guys are such a joke
>>161314363
Not at the same level yet but I can see them becoming as bad or much worse, still, those DB threads deserved better.
>>161313614
>/ag/ should happen
No it shouldn't. Everything was fucking fine until the mods decided to ban generals. Because what's better than having one shitty dragonball thread? Having 10+ at the same time of course!
>>161314457
No u
>>161314309
That means /a/ is still alive.
>>161314354
Because eventually if they keep recreating threads that were deleted, the mods will crack down even harder.
>>161314451
>noncancerous
It is one of the most cancerous things on this board
>>161313856
>country flags
Bad idea, unless you want every thread to descend into region-based name calling.
> & post id's on all boards
Even worse. Not having to cultivate a persistent consistent persona throughout a thread is one reason people are here, rather than elsewhere. Being able to be helpful, sarcastic, thoughtful, juvenile, or any combination of them all in the same thread without regard to past posting style is fun, anon.
>>161314323
God has already long abandoned us.
>>161314440
The new rules are only specifically targeting DB threads.
Why you pruned threads that were clear not generals and just having a good time? TG threads tend to be on the spoiler and chapter days, never have chain threads outside those days.
Did the mods literally give up today?
What? You mean the mods in a huge effort to look "not-reddit" end up looking like reddit anyway and making the board even worse? Color me SURPRISED
>>161314498
>region-based name calling
Shut up, leaf
>>161314466
Generals should be deleted on sight.
Dragonball can follow the same rules as every other anime. Same with BnHA.
>ITT: newfags who don't know how to use filters
Anyone who wants /ag/ needs to neck themselves.
>>161314466
Mods do the correct thing.
Newfags start to cry.
Generals are complete cancer and would damage /a/ even further, the DB threads will die down after the retards calm down.
>>161313862
>they didn't delete a single dbs thread
Many dbs threads at once is what the creators of the sticky wanted. Why would they delete them?
So tell me, what the fuck would be talked about if there were no generals on /a/?
Unlike /v/, where there are tons of things to talk about video games besides specific series (due to the vast variety of video games), anime is pure story. Can you imagine /a/ without generals? For one, it would be dead, and for two, it would be:
>best girl threads
>threads about studios that will die in 10 replies
>threads about art that will die in 10 replies
>reaction threads about new episodes that last for a couple days or so (see: "I love emilia" or "all girls my age love dick!")
And that would literally be it. Nothing more, maybe less. Anime as a whole is 90% about watching specific series and talking about them. So generals are fucking required.
God you anti-generalfags are such whiny cunts. Just don't click on the fucking threads you retards
Ban all Yahari and Eromanga threads
>>161314309
Why wouldn't I care about the quality of the website I spent time on, shitposter-kun?
Just fucking make /ag/ and move all of these faggot generals over there. All the shitters will migrate over there, and /a/ can be great again.
>>161314480
And more anons will make new ones. Not hard.
>>161314442
It all goes fine until the mods lose interest. Then every post becomes oregano origami oreimo original
Allow LN thread an /a/. They always get lots of activity until a mod moves them to /jp/, where they die immediately
>>161314558
>the DB threads will die down
Because everyone will stop posting about the single most popular anime in existance on an anime board, right?
>>161314451
It is complete cancer, it's just a /v/ thread. You don't even try to hide it.
The problem is with people anyway. If the most people here are idiots, kids and normalfags then you end with what we have today.
>>161314309
And why shouldn't we? Why does every single thread on this fucking site have to be nothing but mindless low effort shitposting 24/7?
You all need to get laid.

>Request threads belong on /r/ or /wsr/, and “spoonfeeding” is not encouraged as that degrades the point/validity of using those other boards
Its pretty comical to say that since in almost every other board its standard to have "request" topics all the time, do those not degrade the validity of those other boards then? Just /a/?
>>161314577
This is pathetic and reeks of newfaggotry
>>161314603

Doesnt it seem like that? I dont get it though. Dbfags stuck to their 1-2 threads. You mean to tell me thats a bad thing? But at the same time it must not be because now we have atleast 10 of them
>>161314685
Are you an idiot?
Generals on /a/ just have an image and a related text blurb. They're impossible to filter properly.
Status quo is fine if this is what change is
>mods actually do something
>they didn't even fuck up either
Wow took them 2 years to think this up when everyone kept repeating this in every meta thread. Also ban dragonball threads they really are the new naruto.
You would think that the sticky talking about enforcing rules meant that mods would police this board harder than ever. Oh well.

the content in this fandom doesnt really support quality discussion most of the time, on the level that these insane mods are asking for. if these guidelines stick then many series will just lose their presence here entirely. not much is safe unless you are a weekly shounen garbage.

Nice.
>>161314924
Because it's shitposting and shitposting is against the rules.
Seriously, have you actually been in one of these generals? It's all ritual posting and avatarfagging. They try to claim they're talking about the anime but they're very clearly not.
>>161313614
I hate the current format of /a/. I only come here to discuss a few specific series, not look at shit waifu threads and god knows what else. /ag/ would be better in every single way.
>>161314903
>What is a general how do they work
>>161314809
Theres like 2 threads past week asking for the name of a manga or anime on /wsr/ while theres dozens and dozens each day on /a/.
Sounds like a really useful board? Its almost like its not absolutely useless. Almost.
I have 17 hidden DB threads right now, yet I'm not complaining about anything. Why? Because it's only 17 threads. If there were like 50 or 60 threads spammed, maybe we'd have a problem but the thing is, it's not like people are posting in every single one and this is just the initial chimpout. Just wait. In 3 or 4 days, it'll be slowed down and by next week, nobody will give a fuck
>>161314885

>>161314838
Why do babies keep calling this spam, it doesn't qualify as spam until it's at least half the board or more, not less than 1/10th of it.
It's like accel happened 10 years ago or something, not to mention pre-captcha.
Well, now that mods are addressing the general problem, can mod stop deleting the now extremely rare monster musume threads?
Even through they stopped being a general long ago and have 1-3 threads per MONTH, about half of them still get prunned instead of the shitposters.
>>161314840
They'd work if
1) Mods actively ban shitposters and delete garbage threads relatively quickly.
2) Hiro makes it so you need a pass to post on /a/.
>>161314948

>>161314916
You're right, especially since there's technically two drawthread generals cluttering up /a/. Those threads are only allowed because one mod is overlooking them aside from the rest of /a/.
>>161314903
You might actually be the stupidest person on this website.
There is a very big difference between a general and a thread dedicated to a specific show. Do you not understand that simple concept?
>>161314125
People that like to talk about anime will go to /ag/ and everyone that stays on /a/ can gloat how much better they are than /ag/ like they do with everything else. It's win win.
>>161315086

>he says posting irrelevant anime girl
>>161314979
There are 100s of other websites where you can do that. /a/ isn't a hub for generals.
>>161315035
The general ban already helped, there are actually some DBS threads discussing the show instead of shitposting and the e-celeb spam stoped.
>>161315086
They've tried to kill exactly one show and that's Naruto.
You're still allowed to make DBS and BnHA threads, just not generals.
>>161315021
>Hiro makes it so you need a pass to post on /a/.
A cover charge helps keep out the riff-raff, but the riff-raff are what makes /a/, and other boards, worth visiting.
>>161315141
A dead board/website.

The only minus of it is that /a/ turned into /db/, maybe it would be good to create seperate DragonBall subboard to /a/ discussions.

Fucking excellent, now currently airing shows get to have their threads deleted
Meanwhile DB gets 10 threads
This is a fucking joke

>>161315196
you wish you filthy mobileposter
>>161315106
If you look at the draw threads it's practically nothing but reposted requests which are two of the things the mods specifically spoke out against.
>>161315223
remember when 4chan was more like a place run by a dictator that pretty much allowed whatever the fuck to happen without enforcing too much rules beyond what is vitally necessary for a board to survive? And we had wacky crazy threads about pretty much fucking anything without fear of a mod deleting it because no-fun-allowed?
we've gotten to the point where mods are enforcing even more rules and posters are having fucking democracy threads where we argue about how the board should really be and shit.
>>161315196
Because this site was definitely dead before mobile posting blew up.
>>161315043
the content in generals wasnt what people who crossboard liked so they brung down the ax on them to appease the mysterious antigeneral fags like
>>161315141
>>161315196
Mobile posting is actually banned to begin with on /a/. You can only post if you're connected via WiFi. Posting via a phone service is impossible without going through hoops.
People don't get that this spam isn't just going to be for a while like any other spam about short series. DB spam will be forever.

How big is that difference, and how much do you trust the mods to understand that difference? What's the difference between an Infinite Stratos General and a thread dedicated to discussing Infinite Stratos?
>>161315216
Let's hope the mods learn from their mistake rather than doubling down. Nobody likes the current situation, nobody.
>>161315223
Please, DB needs go back to normal right now.

That would be CRAZY

>>161314601
Are those all lns or only those without an anime or manga?
>>161315268
More traffic, more moderation, more rules, more rules to break
We should make /a/ a free for all and then see what comes out at the top. If the catalog has 100 db threads than that's just how it is.
>>161315130
Check the conversation.
Monster musume threads are STILL being deleted more often than not even though there are a couple a month at best.

We need to combine /a/ with /u/. Problem solved.
>>161315288
Calling this spam insults the hard work of real spammers from the past years.
What's the point if you aren't going to ban all those DBS fans you've rooted out?

purging db is the new normal
and i am fine with it
>>161315143
/wsr/ is kind of a joke of a board.
Look at the fucking cancer the Madoka general spawned, Why anyone would want them is beyond me.
Also having 1 thread for a certain show isn't a general either, We don't need a new board just stop making generals that don't add anything apart from talking stupid shit with your general bretheren because they never leave the threads.
>>161315223
Except everything in the sticky is stuff that already is the way they are. It's only affecting Dragon Ball faggots
>>161315365
Those real spammers only need to work for 1 week at most. This will go on and on until this site is dead.
>>161315295
I'm just going to assume you haven't accidentally stumbled into a general before.
BnHA threads were literally all
>ritual posting
>avatarfagging
>constant shitposting
>refusing to let a thread die
>continuous
You don't need to have a thread for your show constantly up on the board. The EVA 3.0 general was banned but NGE threads still happen all of the time.
>>161315032
I use /wsr/ if I need recs. There are also more than enough /a/ charts and other ressources to find new anime and manga.
>>161315173
what if the sticky just said "e-celeb talk does not belong on /a/"
>>161314546
Doesn't solve the source of the problem, only makes it easier to ignore. It's doing a shitty job of it when 80% of threads are cancer containment.

Do they delete the threads even when there's a new chapter?
>>161313614

>>161315404
Why would it? Is DBS going to air forever?
>>161315380
Because /r/ was never a big board to begin with and did its job well.
>>161315268
Welcome to the basics of liberalism: leave everyone to pursue their own happiness, enforce lenient rules that only exist to make sure nobody ruins things for everybody elves and a society prospers. Enforce totalitarian rules on the basis of "I don't like that" or "this triggers people" and a society decays.
Rules are always a neccessity but the more restrictive they get, the less fun whatever these rules govern get. The rules the mods have newly implemented on /a/ restrict freedom without securing that posters are unable to ruin things for other posters. In fact, threads dedicated to less popular seasonal shows now suffer because the dragonball community is no longer contained to one or two threads.
>>161315380
It makes sense on paper.
In practice, all the anons who know the fucking answers never browse there because why would any. So really its a way to get people to stop rule-breaking posts asking questions more easily and then linking to it.
>>161315389
>Also having 1 thread for a certain show isn't a general either
Nah senpai can't have that, we have to ban all generals and things which look like that and then have five threads when one would be fine. That's what they've done. Its so fucking stupid.
>>161315389
>Annoying, stupid, obnoxious and attention-whoring tripfag is right for once
I can't believe I'm actually agreeing with you, but you're right. Generals spawn cancer and discords and fucking whatever on the regular. Removing them is the best thing the mod team has done.
>>161315389
>an autistic ban evading shitposter spams every single thread with hundreds of replies

What is the connection between the word "general" and an autistic ban evading shitposter ruining the threads because hes mentally ill?
This thread is going nowhere. I would derail it with waifu rolling but I just got out of a 4 day ban and want to enjoy some freedom before the next time
/a/ will die when /ag/ lives.

>>161315361
>We need to combine /a/ with /u/. Problem solved.
No thanks.
At least on /u/ we have general threads for each series/fetishes to discuss things in it, and it goes slow, so no one misses anything, which is good.
/a/ became crazy ride where good anime discussions threads for currently airing series will get killed by few posters who will just want to create threads for few characters than actually discuss the show in one. Look at DB how that changed /a/ almost instantly.

It's even worse now, actually the worse threads /a/ has. Everyone there acts like they're a part of some community, there is no anonymity. Everyone knows each other, everyone talks to each other as if this place is their public discord server. If the thread is inactive, they'll spam shit to keep it alive, or to make it to 500, so they can immediately post another thread.
Why THIS shit is allowed makes no sense.
Asking here. Wasn't there supposed to be some kind of time capsule thread this month? Did we have it already? I try to find the thread in my bookmarks but I think I deleted it.
>>161315474
>Nah senpai can't have that, we have to ban all generals and things which look like that and then have five threads when one would be fine.
Except literally only Dragon Ball is having this problem. All the other generals and shows are acting as normal.
>>161314546
Just like when moot told us to ignore naruto threads that grew into a huge fucking cancer right then they got banned
>>161315371
The retards will get bored in days if not hours, the only ones complaining about the "spam" are DBSbabbies crying for their hugbox back.
When in the Course of 4chan events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the faggotary bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the boards, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Anonymous and of Moot entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of /a/nons requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
>>161315440
Usually not, but i seen it happen anyway at least once in the about 10 months since the last time mods went after generals.
>>161315059
And why not? /a/ will never get better without something to actually discourage braindead morons and shitposters from posting, telling them to fuck off and die clearly hasn't worked, and bans are basically useless with how easy they are to get around, so why not make them pay for it?
>>161315474
But there are plenty of anime that are discussed on this board that don't have generals.
You can still talk about whatever you want, (provided it's related to /a/) just not in a general.
So then what is your autistic definition of a "general", you fucking cunts?
I personally hate dragonball but I don't give a fuck about the threads because it's ridiculously easy to just scroll fucking past it instead of complain about it.
Next thing you know, daily/weekly threads about CURENTLY AIRING anime (including movies/specials/OVAs) are gonna get deleted for being "generals" and you fuckers will complain AGAIN about how purging generals was a shit idea because now there's no where to talk about current series.
You guys are fucking retarded and it makes me sick I feel compelled to post this shit in this thread.
This has been a long time coming. Generals have always been comprised of the most cancerous of /a/. Maybe now /a/ can learn to appreciate some better underrated anime and manga now instead of having generals push out any attempts at starting a real thread.
No bump lock for this one, is something else gonna happen?
>>161315535
This. All of these problems can be traced back to moot stopping us from dubsposting in Naruto threads.
>>161315508
Maybe they'll crack down on them if enough people report them. Should be justified by the sticky.
>>161315486
New content is what drives the most discussion on /a/. DB is a big franchise with a weekly show that airs new stuff. Of course there would be more threads than usual. I agree that the topic itself is more likely to attract newfags that make more threads than necessary, but this isn't going to be the "death of the board" or anything silly like that. Once it stops airing, the activity will die down just like with any show.
Board would be much better if everyone itt got range banned.
>>161315565
>Please avoid making threads in “general” or “template” formats. Avoid chaining threads, copy-pasting OPs, backlinks, and the like.
Reading is hard.
>>161315555
It literally defeats the entire purpose of site.
And nice quads.
I need some relationship advice: So I've been dating 4 girls for a while now and now the two of them I like most both want to be exclusive.
Girl 1 is really attractive, competes in pageants and has worked as a ring girl, studies Social Science for a degree, has great morals and is intelligent. I look slightly above average but I'm ripped, I feel like I punched above my weight with her and I'm not sure I could land someone that attractive again.
Girl 2 is overweight but still kinda chubby cute. She studies computer science for degree and most of our hanging out has just been cuddling together and watching anime. I think she views me in the same way I view girl 1 in terms of punching above their weight. She's just a really bubbly person to be around and I can just describe it as wholesome, the sex is pretty bad though(girl 1 is way better). I think that if I didn't go with her it would hurt her a lot
and that might be affecting my thought process.
I don't know what to do and would welcome advice.
(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)
>>161315565
This is happening because of mods having contradictory and vague rules. Look at say the re:creators thread, its usually up, usually has a name, is about a currently airing show. And now its banned. Or is it? We don't fucking know.
God this is a shitshow.

Let me get this straight. The board literally had no problems before. Everyone is in their respective threads. Then mods think it would be a good idea just to make new rules ruining the established peace? I don't get it. Why would you ruin something that isn't wrong?
The funny part about all this is that the generals are already back up, you just need to have been posting in the generals to know what threads they are
>>161313614
How to improve this place? Stop letting every thread derail when someone says the word "normie"
>>161315326

You know what a general is. You just don't want to act like you do to pretend there's some kind of ambiguous shit going on.
>>161315565
Generals getting banned does not mean "you can only make one thread about X when a new chapter comes out/episode airs" it means don't have a thread up constantly. When a thread hits the bump limit, stay in that thread until it gets archived, and then do not make a new one immediately. Wait a few hours, maybe a day, and there'll be no problem.
You are literally posting in a general RIGHT NOW
>>161315440
During a chapter dump, even, although that was while ago. Lazy, impotent, or both mods trained the people who dislike a franchise to shit up threads, since that gets the thread deleted, rather than the shit-posters effectively banned. If anyone wants to make /a/ great again, or even for the first time, figure out how to put teeth into bans, without changing the anonymous nature of the place.
>>161313614
No, fuck off.
>>161315476
Madoka spawned more than just that moron let's be real here.
I don't see the problem, Don't image dump, Don't force discussion to keep your "general alive" and don't create mini communities in a general.
/dbz/ general shows what kind of rampaging morons stick to generals if they're gonna shit up the board like this.
>>161315699
It was never about the generals. It's about having new rules to potentially stop people doing what they want.
>>161315687
It seems to be all about getting Dbfags banned from /a/
Would /ag/ get more traffic than /a/?

>>161315773
Which is not working.
>>161315687
Because elitist autistic man children got annoyed when they had to do one extra scroll wheel turn when they came across a "general" thread that they don't have to pay any attention to.
I swear to god you are all babies. And the reason I'm posting in this thread is because /a/ is fucking fine
>>161315642
1 you stupid fuck
>>161315141
That will never happen. Posting on the go has increased my productivity a thousand times. I can post at work, at the gym, on my way home, anywhere. And there is literally nothing anyone can do about it. Ban evasion has never been easier.
>>161315801
>cringy
Kill yourself
>>161315687
Have you seen the /dbs/ general?
A lot of generals have normal /a/ behaviour but that one in specific is quite horrifying.
>>161315687
Thats not the first time it happened, this won't be the last. Mods have no fucking idea how to handle generals, specially of currently airing series
>>161315801
Or you can learn to lurk more before posting on /a/, you shitty crossboarder.
''First they came after DBS
I didn't care
Now they came after my moeshit
And there was no one there for me''

>>161315687
>he board literally had no problems before
>doesn't know whats wrong with generals

The generals itself are a problem, for example it attracts newfags like you who only stay in their generals. It also damages /a/ culture, the mods should be praised for their decision to ban generals.

...what the fuck?
>>161315793
Considering generals are mostly filled with people who don't browse this site, yes. Same thing happened with /vg/
>>161315773
It's about banning generals.
If they really wanted to go after Dragonball in particular they'd just have an automatic word filter that prevents you from posting the words "Goku", "Freeiza", etc etc.
We clearly need a webtoon board
>>161315687
Generals have been a hot discussion on /a/ for the past 5 years with no solution.
>>161315746
I agree with you but there's no need to wait a few hours before making a new thread. Often a thread dies while people are in the middle of a discussion, so making a new one after it dies would be appropriate. Making a new thread when nobody is talking about anything would be bad practice.
>>161315642
stick with 2D only, reject all whores
>>161315833

Good news! We're all getting perma range banned.
>>161315750
>15 DBZ threads
>3 meta threads
it's almost as if generals work
Here's how to solve the issue: Mods delete every DB thread except one, the one with the highest posts.
Lax the deletion when a DBS episode airs because it gets chaotic.
There you go.
>>161315732
They just ignore the whole thing and continue posting in their threads which seems more mature than this pointless shit flinging
>>161315850
You can still post Dragonball. You just can't have a general. How do you not understand this?
>>161315687
I think they might have been worried about the board overall slowing down. /a/ has become much slower since generals rose.

Sorry to have asked, but thanks for informing me. I've been away for a couple of years, but I remembered that all light novels, live action series, etc, were permitted so long as they were related.
thank you for destroying /a/, dumb sticker-tan.
this is probably the revenge of the sjws and the cartel.
>>161313614
Might as well just make a /db/ board for you DB Super fags. All the other generals disband in good faith, it's only the DB fags who are making such a big deal out of this.

Wouldn't this only make impossible to talk about any anime that isn't either on air or really old? /a/ would become long running shounen paradise if this happened.

>>161314376
it's a breeding board, not a containment board.
It's like keeping a heap of trash in the corner to contain the flies.
The creation of /pol/ is the main cause of the loss inq qhat little quality there was on 4chan, because it attracted politically motivated people from reddit and other places who don't give a fuck about board culture
So, just so summarise the ongoing discussion, we only need to ban DGB, right?
>>161315965

All of those are terrible ideas, doublenigger.
Do you not get the joke? It's literally everything that would turn us into reddit.
People who spend their entire day on /a/ hate Generals because they're starved for new stimuli.
People who casually browse /a/ every once in a while like Generals because they can always find a thread about the thing they want to talk about.
Honestly get rid of just DBS and you are fucking god. All decent posters left when future trunks asspulled his way to victory, now they have caulifla, gohanpedos, and fucking chadfags. They even turned a little into /co/ with the shaggy and cartoon network """memes"""
>>161315732
DBS was so infested with shitposting that now that shitposters have nowhere to go they resorted to spamming threads. They'll be dealt with eventually.
What if we go back the the idea that /a/ is for discussions of asian cartoons and try to take a hands off approach instead of trying to micro-manage people talking about shows you dont like?
>see other chans
>most threads are in the general format according to the definition
>some threads about airing anime can last entire seasons
>no shitposting
>no tripfagging
>no bullshit

I don't think generals are the main problem. I think the problem is a large userbase that consists of retards who are incapable of discussing things without shitposting.
>>161315885
Generals themselves were the solution mods came up with.
Now they finally admit that it was the wrong way.
The only downside of removing generals again, is that threads will die quicker now.

You know, in the state that /a/ is right now, DB really should just get exiled to its own board. It's a big enough franchise to warrant it, what with the super show going on every week until the end of time, all the video games, the endless discussions of people watching the gorillionth remaster of Z for the gorillionth time, and it'd probably do better than /vp/ is doing right now desu. Do we really want the worst concentrated forms of autism to remain here and infect /a/? /db/ should just happen and if it doesn't work, just get rid of it afterwards.

People who go around calling themselves chads on this site are really pathetic.
I mean we all know people the kind of people who spam dbz and chad memes aren't getting laid. It's just depressing to watch people who are so desperate for human contact they irritate people on the internet for replies, and hate themselves so much they act like their ideal version of a man while doing it.
>>161315954
Is that a bad thing? The slower the board, the easier it is to moderate. Look at /po/.
>>161316031
You continue to be stupid.
You can obviously post rapidly the day and episode comes out. But when literally nothing is happening and you're still mindlessly recreating threads over and over, that's when you have an issue.
Just let's accept /a/ is already killed.
But having one thread for a running show is GOOD, I don't get to see other threads of said show in the catalog. Fucking idiots.
Just look at /jp/ if you want to see what happens when everyone is just divided into subcommunities with no regard to the board itself. It's basically a board being eaten alive by generals at this point.
Name 7 good generals.
>>161316040
The latter is called "normalfags", why should we carter to them and not the core audience?
The Dragon Ball spam is a knee jerk reaction and will wear off soon enough. Most of their threads don't get many posts, so they will die once the butthurt dbfags get bored and stop making new ones. Just give it a day or two until things settle down.
>>161316034
Yeah, no. Taking care of containment board leak has been necessary since forever and it's been done for most containment boards. Just not this one.
The voting stuff is of course a bad idea, but that's obvious.

>>161315858

I'm not one to browse generals unless it's the only thread up about the specific anime, but cmon man. Is t it fucking GOOD if someone stays in one type of thread only? Would you want these so called "newfag generalfags" leaking to every other thread?

>>161316105
>dragon ball board
Make it a battle shonen board and that's a good idea.
Not all generals are bad, but be honest, most of them were just shitposting 24/7. Do you really think we need aikatsu and precure generals when there are <40 IPs per thread?
>>161316084
BnHA and LWA both had new stuff today. Those are just normal threads.
>>161316064
But why would you want yet another generic forum where anyone who's not completely serious is banned?
>>161316136
Not necessarily. Just because they don't browse /a/ religiously, doesn't mean they don't browse other things religiously, like /d/.

There's nothing wrong with general threads. But an OP should not start with a "general format" bullshit.
Also let me define what an allowed general thread is. It's a franchise that has had an official MAIN product (so no spin-offs or side-material because I know a lot of generals like to use those to continue their circle-jerkery) released in the past month (LN volume of an anime-adapted LN, anime episode, weekly manga chapter). Monthly manga are a unique case, there's no way you can talk about one chapter for an entire month. A week should be the maximum so that everyone interested has time to read the chapter and discuss it here. Yes, I'm looking at you, Shingeki no Kyojin. Ban x days threads on sight.
Kyoko Fridays and Miuna mondays rarely happen these days but it took years for them to die off after their anime ended. Right now Megumin Mondays are still in though.
Muvluv threads should be banned. What are they still doing on this board? Etcetera.
Fuck off with /ag/ idea, shitposter.
>>161316105
Hey do this
>>161316104
No. Are you shitposting retards really so delusional that you think Oda is going to have romance in One Piece?
SaNa, not happening
LuNa, not happening
SaPu, not happening.
Whatever stupid, idiotic portmanteau you can think of involving the Strawhats and any other character, not fucking happening. You wanna know why I despise you retards? Let me put it this way.
Let's say one day you find a guy punching himself in the face. After he punches himself, he starts whining about how much it hurts, and then he punches himself again. Then he starts whining, and punches himself. And then he does it again. And again. And again. And even after his face is bloody, his eyes are swollen shut, and he's spit out half his teeth, he just keeps doing it..
Now, at first sure, you might feel worried about the fucking retard, or maybe find it funny and laugh at him, but eventually you get tired of seeing it. And because it never fucking stops, the apathy you feel eventually boils over into raw hatred and you want nothing more than to strangle the fucking moron to put him out of your misery.
That is why I hate you, you fucking disgusting mentally ill shipper.
>>161316170
Generals themselves aren't inherently a bad thing, you're right. Japan makes it work.
But the people who infest them are a terrible cancer, and that's why it doesn't work here in America.

No, I want them to find no generals and leave. Which is infinitely more likely considering how autistic you shitters are.
>mods get rid of a shitposting general
>kneejerk reaction ensues
>waaaah /a/ IS DEAD!
>>161315833
One isn't ever much worse than the other. They're all terrible because that is the nature of what a general becomes and what is trying to be prevented.
It will be very difficult to get people to stop redirecting, and for even potential OPs to not want to add to an existing thread that guarantees x posters already invested in discussion for that series. They'll think their thread won't get posted in and die early and Anons complain when multiple threads are made. This won't be reversed overnight.
With a bunch of sites getting axed by google recently, there is talk that 4chan might be next. I'm scared we might lose /a/
>>161316181

And there you go again with ambiguous "rules"
>generals are not allowed but if there is a new episode in an ambiguously recent amount of time then it's ok but only if you have one thread up but that thread can be the only thread up but if an ambiguous amount of time passes then you can't make anymore threads about it but maybe once in a while because the s it's not a general anymore but if you have several in a short omount of time then it is a general but that's only if the anime isn't recent

I think that the objective of the mods is that those dragon ball threads will eventually die out because most of them arent interesting topics, and the board will achieve balance with 2 or 3 threads at once.
Kinda happens a lot with Eva threads, no generals, 0-3 threads at any given time discussing different topics
But i think mods have underestimated the autism of dragon ball posters

>>161316403
It has been in the past, and will be again.
The Dragon Ball Super threads are quite possibly the worst I have ever seen in this board, and that's saying a lot. There's literally no discussion whatsoever, the vast majority of posts consist of retards calling each other spics, calling each other Toyopedros, Toeipedros, etc. etc. Not to mention shipping shit the series is so shitty it's impossible to discuss anything
One Piece has this insane shipping shitposter who has been at it for months, JoJo has unironic blogposting and people actually giving counseling, SnK also has shipping wars and shitloads of fujos who shit all over the threads, Bordo also has shipping wars, what the fuck
tl;dr Shippers are cancer
>>161316690
I agree, outside of generals /a/ is still one of the best boards because of it's culture of telling newfags to fuck off
>>161316673
Yes.
>>161316684
No.
Just kill them. It all fucking started because of one Toei autist, DBS used to be better. Hell the manga thread that was made seperate to the anime ones was filled with thoughtful and calculated discussion
>>161316673
Mostly it was the retards from /r/the_donald coming there to circlejerk and bots. The board is fucking unreadable at this point, compared to 2012.

>>161316681

I refuse to believe that DBShitters are somehow more autistic than EVAfags, it's improbable.
>>161316673
In a way, but it was mostly /pol/ itself that let the hype grow too big and stopped bashing newcomers
>>161316745
So even worse than SnK?

You're misunderstanding everything.
Unlike you, I don't give the slightest fuck about "muh business". wasabiman bought this website knowing full-well the implications. He knows (just as well as you do, if you look deep down past your big boy attitude) that this website costs next to nothing to run. He also knows(again, just like you) that there are way more than enough ads and pass users to cover the operating costs plus gravy. This website should not be his livelihood. It is self-sufficient. We don't need him or give a fuck about him. He should shut the fuck up and stay out of the way just like moot did. He wasn't born yesterday. He knows this is how people on an imageboard expect it to be run. He chose to be cheeky and buy it anyway, thinking he's going to call the shots and reinvent the wheel so he can pay for his chinese hookers. If you're fine with that, go ahead and cuck yourself and live by his rules. If you want to just browse your fucking website in peace (which only exists (for hiroshima to make money from) because YOU post content onto it), you should make it inconvenient for him to operate it in such a jewish way. If he doesn't want to do that, he's going to have a bad time, and if we do our best to STOP buying passes, block MORE ads, post LARGER and MORE images, it's just going to ACTUALLY make it unprofitable for him. Which means he'll sell it (because muh business isn't making me money how will I buy my egg rolls and dumplings now???), and it can be passed on to someone who's with the fucking program. Like moot was.
if you don't understand this, go ahead and turn your ad blocker off. Maybe you cat buy a pass so moot2 can get some chink to suck his japanese eggplant and he can give you a clover next to your post. The guy is a leech. Stop supporting his bullshit.
We create the traffic and the money the website generates. All he does is cash the cheques. Don't give him more credit than he deserves. Welcome to the internet, buddy.

Generals are breeding grounds for cancer.
They stagnate, and people post shit just to keep them alive. Eventually they start growing cancerous little sub-groups because people figure out they can act like faggots in generals because they're so awful that most people won't actually go there to call the faggots faggots.
Despite all this, generals can be useful when they are fairly new or constantly have fresh content coming in.
And this is why we have to do this every few years. Eventually the generals get so bad that you have to throw them out.
In six months or a year, generals will start to creep back in and things will eventually come full circle and we'll be right back here.

it's already hard enough (or was) to discuss visual novels without JOPs coming in and shitting the place up, just imagine if you gave them a carte blanche by making /jap/

Personally, I don't always read/watch things the second they come out. That just means I've got a backlog of all sorts of things. I accept that I miss some discussion because of that, but I do recognize it's nice when there is a thread up.

For the longest time, at the height of Naruto's popularity, there was never ever EVER any Naruto discussion on /a/ because any attempt at making a Naruto thread was met with endless shit/dubs posting. It only stopped because moot decided to suddenly start banning the people shitposting Nardo threads to death because "you can't just stop people from discussing an anime, and if you don't like that anime you can just ignore it" or whatever dumb out of touch bullshit reason he gave. And that's why /a/ is full of shounen cancer now. If we can revive our noble shitposting spirit we can still save /a/.
I better not see a single other thread about this for at least a day or two or else you anti-general faggots will have completely gone against your own arguments
And if some shitposter does make another thread, then it better not get serious replies or else you are once again going against your anti-general arguments
You fucking stupid cunts

The shitposting in the general became too much to discuss the show.

Nigga look up a few posts. Somebody already made a new one.

Nice trips but I am loving your btfo. Ive hated your trash for 2 years now. Youre disrespectful.
>>161317435
Too late.

Damn, just when I started to get used to it.
>Waifufags are told to fuck off
>They throw a huge temper tantrum
The only bad thing about this sticky is that it didn't happen sooner.

Merging /a/ and /jp/ should happen, 4chan was always about otaku culture and /jp/ belongs more to /a/ than live action adaptions of anime.
The only thing that would need to happen would be to ban the 3DP part from /jp/.
>>161317126
2hu posters are at least weird enough to keep normfags out of /a/, /jp/ is much better than Reddit and Tumblr.
>>161317435
Do you still not understand what a general is?
Is it because you only posted in generals before they were all banned?
>>161317435
Get fucked.
>>161316885
lil faggot

EOPs were a mistake, kanji captchas when?
>>161317536
but if he posted in generals, then he would know what a general is?
>>161317152
Really? Touhou is in most boards.

I last visited it when nekopara 3 released just to get a torrent so I don't know what it's like right now
just remember that one of the tripfags got caught trying to shitpost about the very same game that he was translating and that the irotoridoriposter was still running rampant
