Making threads in general or template formats, as in following the general templates or using boring templates.

It's worth noting that "long since exhausted all fresh discussion" means that mods acknowledge the existence of generals that aren't like that. Which means that mods know there are both good and bad generals.

What needed to be done prior to 2010 (when the first major flood of normalfags to the internet via Socialmedia happened) was:
>enforced lurking: can't post until you've requested this domain on 100 different days or something
>flood protection: only so many new first time posters allowed in a 30 day limit or whatever
I disagree that large communities ultimately always go to shit (ironically, /a/ has for years been the best counter example to this).
These 2 things would have kept the normalfag scourge at bay in a way that would allow new potential community members to be properly acclimated, rather than over running and usurping existing BOARD CULTUREs.
/a/"s problem doesn't quite fit this though - The change was too slow and subtle. We pretended to be retarded so well that retards stuck around thinking they were in good company.

How? Bans are useless, given the ease of evading them. Rules are just noise, given the inability to enforce them. Self moderation is obsolete, given the population shift.

Because this is 4chan, a place that was never intended to be serious since it was created. It's fine to have fun in here.

That's not how it would've worked, because if people were telling him to fuck off there'd also be a considerable amount of people reporting him, thus getting his post deleted and maybe even banned.

>>161343130
At least this reminder got almost everything correctly and didn't add more fuel into the fire, even though all shitposters ignored everything said in it and chose to keep complaining about generals all day. The only major fuck up was saying that making multiple threads is perfectly fine, as it led to this current situation.

It's materially impossible to avoid the tendency towards generals once you factor in:

-The archive

>>161343499
-The majority of the userbase doesn't browse pages anymore. It was one thing when the only catalogs were external, but now that there's a built-in one it's become the default way to view the board. This means that "bumping" is essentially irrelevant and allows people to find the threads they are interested in with ease, which naturally concentrates discussion towards 1-2 (at most) big threads. Nobody is gonna go through the hassle of making a new thread if they aren't seeing shit in the first couple pages and try to have people post in it, they'll just type the name of the show or a basic keyword and go to the thread with all the people.
-When you had green-oval or whatever that archived select threads based on a voting system, it wasn't such a big deal. But having bigass databases that track every single post across years removes the ephemeral quality of the imageboard, which was fundamental for the type of threads, discussion and even board culture back then. I also attribute all the butthurt about asking for sauce partly to this, since as >>161342662 said nobody actually cared about this stuff 10 years ago. The whole elitist attitude in general came about way after /a/ got big.

>>161343395
add filtering to this
being able to ignore undesirables in mass lead to them festering rather than being told to fuck off as should have been done

>>161343652
I'm willing to bet that, based on the same definition of normalfag, the ratio of normalfags to "non-normalfags" has been more or less constant since around 2006-07. It's just that nobody gave a shit, in both directions (so much less people "flaunting" about normalfag stuff and much less people with a persecution complex about it being the one thing that ruined everything).

I think you gotta go back to the late 90s if you want an internet that average people were unaware of.
