You gotta admit, that pickle Nozomi was kinda funny.

i preferred when the cancer was contained within the generals which i could filter and ignore. Now theres like 5 boku no hero academia or dragonball threads every hour killing slow moving threads

I know longer feel like having a stroke now that template threads are gone. That in itself is a huge improvement.

I still see a shitload of "general" or stupid "what do you think her feet smell like" threads.

>>161468843
>know longer
Anon, I think you did have that stroke.

>>161468486
A bit. It's nice to see some of the more cancerous generals gone, though I wish they'd leave homo threads alone.

>>161468486
It's the same except for the mod deleting any non series specific threat he doesn't like.

>>161468486
worse, this is basically reddit now

So I thought DBS threads were banned from that locked thread yesterday but I still see them here?

>>161469160
They aren't. It was just one sperg spamming the board because he thinks DB threads should be exempt from the consecutive thread rule when many other threads were deleted for the same reason yet they don't complain because they aren't babies that think their threads are special.

It does fucking nothing, really. People still create threads about series they want, even if there are five other threads already, just without a template in OP.

You want to improve the quality of posts? First of all, ignoring the fact that the idea is ridiculous due to posters being gigantic fags, mods could just create global filters that automatically remove all threads with common phrases in OP. People do it locally anyway.
"What did they mean by this?", "I want to ___ X", "X will never be your Y", etc. Let's not pretend people who make this sort of threads want to have a constructive discussion.

It's the exact same with DBSfags creating more generals than usual

>buyfag, drawfag, shounenshit, seasonshit all still up
>topics being deleted on a whim

Why hasn't this faggot been culled yet, what is japmoot doing.

>>161470210
>what is japmoot doing
Nothing. All the work is done by the mods.

>>161468486
The Quality improved quite a bit, but there are still generals and shounen shit threads filled with shitposting.
There should a time limit on DBS,SNK,BNHA, etc.., something like only threads up to 2 days after airing.
This would at least encourage newfags to watch something else.

There have been like 20 Dragonball threads, 20 fate threads, 20 Eva threads, and 20 bnha today. Plus the Jojo general, LWA general, Boruto General, One Piece General, and Buyfag General are all still here.

I don't think anyone will be mad if the mods just ban DBS discussion.

>>161468486
It should be expanded to every other board. We need to purge the newfriends.

>>161468486
>they deleted sakurafish
fuck off faggot mods, go shit up another board, im sure something like /r9k/ is better suited for you

So /a/ actually got a lot better then. Nice!

>>161470210
Gook doesnt do shit, he basically lets those who do it for zero compensation which i doubt is true since there's been proof mods shill for companies and one mod even wrote some dumb shit on a tech website about /pol/ mod the entire site and its their fault 4chan has been getting even worse the past 4 years.

>>161470421

yea, don't see a problem here. all top quality series are being discussed, while other garbage should be filtered out.

Have to agree.
Shounenshit brings the worst cancer into the board, it should be limited and restricted.

>>161468486
Boards evolve naturally. /a/ has been around for over 10 years. Trying to enforce rules to artificially change a boards culture isn't going to work. People have been here for a long time and they aren't just going to leave or change their posting behaviour just because you tell them to.

There shouldn't be slow-moving threads.

A thread that's moving slower than the other threads is a thread fewer people find interesting enough to contribute to.

Are you seriously telling me you don't notice the lack of "What did he/she mean by this", "Was it Rape", "Left or Right", "Why is this allowed", etc. threads?

>>161470385
They'll get reaped naturally if they're not interesting enough for people to want to post to them.

If they're not getting reaped, then they serve a purpose and your complaint is just "people like something I don't like".

Could use a bit more work from the mods, but it's gotten infinitely better. I've actually had more real conversations in the past few days than the last year or two, in threads that I'd long thought were a lost cause.

I think so, yes.

>>161471803
Did I miss something that happened on one of the lower boards?

/a/ is somewhat better. There is a bit more variety on the first two lines of the catalog, than a week ago. One thing that people seems to ignore is that when what would have been a general get split in 5 or so threads each one of them go slower, meaning it pop up at the top more rarely, which means it get less posters.
I still think that certain anime & manga should just be moved to /trash/.

>>161473754
>you're only allowed to post on one board

>>161473832
Yes, kill yourself, disgusting crossboard

>>161473832
Crossboarding is only really an issue on /a/, since due to the changing demographics of this site, /a/ is the only major board on this site that has a radically different posting environment than rest of the major boards.

Since most people on 4chan today have no interest whatsoever in "weeb" hobbies and only use this site because they like memes, perceived anonymity and perceived lack of moderation, /a/ is a relatively isolated board that still retains the "core values" of the site.

So while crossboarding between the other major boards on this site is usually barely noticeable since their board cultures are mostly the same, that's not the case on /a/.

/a/ is the only (major) board where the userbase is at least nominally against shitposting.
/a/ is the only board on this entire site where spoonfeeding is seen as a bad thing.

There are numerous other subtle and not so subtle differences between /a/ and rest of the major boards on this site.

>>161473869
Crossboarding is fine as long as you don't make it obvious that you crossboard, and you adhere to the rules and environmental guidelines of the board. Really, it all boils down to lurking moar--which is quite possibly the largest problem of the website at large currently--so you can understand the culture of a board, its paradigms, and so on and so forth.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of obvious crossboarders are also obvious newfags who don't lurk, don't read any rules, don't attempt to integrate into a board's 'society', etc.

I want Yotsuba back on the front page

>>161473869
>Since most people on 4chan today have no interest whatsoever in "weeb" hobbies and only use this site because they like memes
fags on other board do consume anime entertainment on the side, but are rarely bother to discuss about it or come to /a/.
Because most of them are filled with new fags and their mods aren't as regulated as /a/, none of them know nothing of /a/ culture so they label /a/ as the most xenophobic board. leaving behind only fags who are interest in anime enough to join /a/ as migrants of another boards while /a/ itself hardly have any new fags from the start. Crossboarders are normal fags who practiced board's norms and they come over here while carrying virus from the other board.

That was modcat. He got sacked because he wrote something about LBGTQUERTY on a warning to a /pol/fag during a raid.

And on the other hand, we have pic related.

Absolutely worse. "template threads" (read memes) are nothing but ways of presenting topics and there is literally nothing wrong with them. When you start banning specific "templates" people will just make new "templates" not "increase their post quality" whatever the fuck that means.

It's done nothing but eliminate templates for the first post in a general. Now people have to be a little circumspect when creating their general threads, but everybody knows what general it is from the images. It's pretty useless like almost every attempt to regulate /a/ has always been.

>>161472165
I hope you to be mistaken.

>>161473091

Listen to his Q&A and stop having incorrect opinions.

>>161468486
There's just too many people on 4chan. I think the best option would be to somehow get rid of phoneposting. Phoneposting encourages shitposting since it's harder to type shit out on a shitty phone keyboard and that it's used in quick but short bursts.

>>161468486
Hoping it'll be better in the longrun. Right now it's kind of a mess, mostly because of a lot of board police autists are really gung ho now that they feel validated.

>>161475806
They should be banned in their entirety. That's only bandage solution. I think 4chan entered it's "Eternal Summer" during the summer of 2014 due to gamergate and the fappening. I guess you can say it went even further back to project chanology. Thinking about it, I think 'meme culture' ultimately is the cancer that's killing 4chan. Memes were a mistake.

>>161475975
Chanology was bad, but ultimately those people enculturated themselves. Back when lurking moar was a thing.

>>161476027
Can you blame them? I still have scars from the gender wars and those fires still burn on a few boards to this day.

>>161476114
I don't agree with them, no. A lot of it was forced "GG was about X because I said it was!" and drilling that down people's throats. Also, the notion that normalfags care more about fucking video games--the original point of the entire 'movement'--as opposed to leaked nudes of celebrities is absolutely asinine.

>>161476069
I figure people are coming to 4chan just memes and not actual discussion and end up thinking shitposting the same tired memes over and over again is actual discussion. Memes are frosting and discussions are cake. Latter can exist without the former, and former by itself is just saccharine garbage.

Let's see

I like the fact that some rules are just guidelines (like posting porn on blue boards) and how /a/ can understand this while other boards just bitched at how "/a/ is a tampered place by the mods where they do what they want", and no this wasn't that long ago since it was the case with nipple mod, even now there's just a chance to get banned if you don't spoiler your pic but if no one bitches chances are the mods let you be/don't care enough.

Lurk a lot more, newfriend.

Why is F*te the only franchise allowed to have 5 threads up without no one complaining?

>>161476285
>The sticky just wants to put on paper some unwritten rules which are still guidelines for a better browsing experience
If this has to be spelled out that means there are simply too many newfags who don't lurk. Almost half the users on 4chan currently came from the last year alone. Around two thirds from the past 3 years. Newfags (including crossboarders) don't give a fuck about the rules or the quality of discussion. They shitpost and are encouraged by all the other newfags who don't know any better or don't care enough to continue doing what they do.

>>161476398
4chan is an instant source of entertainment for a lot of people. It's like an edgier reddit for them. They don't give a single fuck to lurk when they can just shitpost from their phone and have other retarded newfags given their precious (You)s.

Oh I am fully aware. The average age of posters decreasing and becoming literally underage only worsens matters as well. No quality exists any more. Most posts are empty and lack substance. It is difficult to even have a civil conversation on many boards without the obsessive hurling of personal attacks and assumptions.

>>161476547
Sure they did you stupid newfaggot

>>161476398
I blame /pol/, but not for the reasons most people think. /b/ used to scare people away and shit threads were easily derailed, but they're coddled in /pol/ by sympathetic staff.

As the notoriety grew, that became the gateway and newfriends learned how to behave from there. You see it spread to the more accommodating, less niche boards like /tv/ and /v/ on occasion.

I personally believe there's a direct correlation to this and the amount of frogposting. The more frogs, the worse the board.

You're part of the problem, fuck off

>>161476614
/r9k/ is a glorified newfag containment board and has been shit for many years. I used to browse off and on since pre-deletion, and I will never not be mad at how the board was treated and how low it has fallen.

I don't care about all this other shit but can we PLEASE make creating another simular thread before current one reaches the bump limit bannable. This whole "NEW THREAD" cross thread linking when the thread is 2/3 close to the bump limit shit needs to stop. This goes for all of 4chan really, not counting the general boards I guess. I get we get new shits from time to time but this shit has been way too common to not be unintended. Fucking faggots made this shit cancerous.

>>161476489
Don't talk about things you don't understand.

I watched the birth and castration of /sp/. I don't ever want to see that happen again.

Was /a/ really doing so bad that it needed a rule revision, or is it just mod autism?

>>161476692
Might as well turn into /ag/ then.

>>161476505
>there are simply too many newfags who don't lurk
I want to think that there are 2 kinds of newfags, those who lurk and don't/rarely post and those who don't give a shit or worse, are entitled niggers. Since this is /a/ there's also the usual share of dedicated shitposters so it's natural to arrive to your conclusion, the problem is and will always be how to deal with them, I personally tell them to lurk the fuck more but I've seen people tired to do the same and it kind of pains me.

>>161476532
Hopefully never, fuck sharing a board with literally /b/, I'm angry enough with sharing the panda discussions with /h/.

>>161476794
Some spic faggot from IRC wandered out of their DBS general and saw some lolis and got pissy

>>161476692
I think they are doing that already.

>>161476810
/a/ is the least newfag friendly board there is. I honestly want to see spoonfeeding banned across the site.

>>161476746
And I watched the birth and castration of /r9k/, then its rebirth and subsequent second killing. Sometimes, some rules NEED to be enforced if you desire a medium of quality.

>>161476692
That has always been look down upon, at least on non general threads.

>>161476845
/r9k/ should have stayed dead

>>161476896
I wholeheartedly agree.

>>161476794
>Was /a/ really doing so bad
DBfags calling themselves a separate entity of /a/ seems bad enough to me, I wouldn't call it a board thing though, just a thread problem.

I wholeheartedly wish the mods would remove Naruto and DB threads in their entirety. This is exactly what we tried to avoid when dubs spamming Naruto threads. It's not that it's any worse than the average garbage can seasonal show, it just attracts the wrong kinds of people.

>>161477318
The gods have to remind people they exist now and again.

The very fact public bannings are happening again is cause for celebration.

Good job mods.

>>161477486
It breeds the kind of people who are not welcome here, like you. Lurk moar before posting newfag.

Instead of deleting generals, they should've carpet banned the entire thread though. Any IP posting in the thread should be permabanned without the chance for appeal. Getting rid of every poster that posts in the SnK general would greatly improved the overall quality of the userbase.

>>161477527
Honestly, I support this. There's a clear difference in quality between some slightly hipster show and Bleach or something similar. Hell, some people straight up admit, they only come to /a/ for X threads

>waifu thread got deleted
why

>>161477609
The post quality in the generals is fucking appalling. They even have their own thread drama. None would miss those wastes of carbon and water. This is exactly why people were told to go back to Gaia.

Do you mean there shouldn't be threads about currently airing shows?

>>161477679

its actually kind of offensive when you see people arguing over specific posters or tripfags or even e-celebs instead of the show

>>161477475
I bet you think sad panda threads are ok on /h/.

>>161477711
Of course anon, who needs seasonal shows when we can discuss Lain and LoGH for the thousandth time.

>>161477738
I hope the Shinka threads are okay!

>>161477710
>template threads are a part of /a/ since forever
Kill yourself

I have a super fucking newfag question but if I make a second AB account under the same IP, would that account automatically get banned? I'm a dirty faggot who never seeded and I want to change my ways but I don't want to fuck myself over in the process by ruining the second invite. I plan to seed wholeheartedly and never touch my former account.

>>161477763
Nope, they're template threads. All discussion about how much you want to fuck her is banned.

>>161477711
No of course not, read my post again. I was saying that there's nothing inherently worse about nardo than a shitty isekai show currently airing, but Naruto and DBS attract a type of person not welcome here. They always have.

>>161477738
Fuck off.

>>161477702
But what we will do on christmas? Talking about that, what happened to the ronery threads?

>>161477820
I figure all those anons crossed over to Gensekyo

>>161477767
I wanted to refer the usual lewd thread and not a template one, also a template thread is wrong defined, it should be template OP since the rest of the thread greatly varies from each time it's made.

>>161477776
Just change your IP.

>>161477776
Just make the extra effort to feel secure and play safe.

>>161477850

>>161477807
>I don't like the fanbase so I'm just going to ban the entire anime

Genius idea anon, you've given a few posters the power to get rid of any anime off the board by just shitposting a bunch in a few threads and pretending they're the entire fanbase.

>>161477859
>>161477882
I can't change my IP manually but I reckon I can hold off for a while until it changes on its own.

>>161477807
Well, threads about popular seasonal shows also tend to atract undesirables. There should be a way to only allow relatively obscure anime to be talked about on /a/
>>161477738

>>161477923
>Well, threads about popular seasonal shows also tend to atract undesirables
This is just lately, some time ago casual anime viewers couldn't into seasonal anime, also that's way we have self moderation, to tell faggots to lurk more and watch more anime before posting.

>>161477972
I don't have one nor know where to acquire a decent one. No huge deal. I can wait.

>>161477973
It seems really nitpicky to me, OPs on /a/ have always been a bit shitposty with proper discussion taking place within. The mods need to moderate the entire thread not just judge it on the OP.

>>161477973
No more board culture, no more elitism, this is the destiny we chose.

>>161477918
If you had been around before 2012, you'd remember that Naruto threads were dubs-posted into the ground every time they came about and it worked well enough at keeping their ilk out. It's like you're wearing a giant neon sign that says, "I'm a dipshit newfag."

>>161477973
No they aren't. "What did she mean by this?" is a template thread from one of the other shitty boards, something you would know if you'd lurk more.

What I don't understand is something, if the real problem is the userbase, why are mods banning the threads? Ban the person, don't ban the content.

>>161477973
Some shitposter bitched about them some time ago making a huge list with them and people also started to hate them, not realizing they are literally a facade for a thread not worthy for judging when it comes to the whole thread quality.
Asking people to be more creative will end on new templates.

>>161478049
>you'd remember that Naruto threads were dubs-posted into the ground every time they came about and it worked well enough at keeping their ilk out

Yeah man, Naruto is so bad, it's not like shonen in general attracts underage, it's all Naruto! You just want a boogeyman to conveniently place all your problems on.

>I haven't seen one here for years.

>>161476794
that's how cancerous those DBSfans/crossboarders are

>>161478094
Naruto is a gateway anime of the worst kind. It's a bad series, a clusterfuck of story and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive shipping faggotry and DARKNESS. The normal anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.

However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The superpowered characters all trying their hardest to look cool, the jutsus, peculiar, colorful clothes, the whole ninja faggotry and everything about the Naruto world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the pity-party character backgrounds, emphasis on revenge, and overall preachiness of the series make it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up.

Naruto is basically THE series to attract the most hated anime fanbase known to /a/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this show and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Naruto threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here.

Read the whole thing seriously, it do makes sense.

Are there any decent/worthwhile forums where I can discuss One Piece with adults? The threads (generals) here are a fucking joke littered with underage shitposting trash.

>>161478094
No, you're a fucking newfag that doesn't belong here. Naruto was never really welcome here until m00t fucked with us. It started out fine enough, but now the Naruto threads are filled with people.who only come for Naruto. Same with DBS.

Also this,

Now go drown yourself.

>>161478179
>is against template threads
>posts copypasta

What did he mean by this?

>>161478071
>Ban the person, don't ban the content
This. Phoneposters need to be dealt with somehow, possibly even with a complete rangeban of mobile networks of each popular ISP, which are usually distinct.

Also, make a cookie that is required to post on /a/ (e.g. if you don't have this cookie/cookie is too new, you cannot post on /a/) that tracks board posts. If a poster has posted on a board outside of /a/ in the last, say, hour (don't completely restrict crossposters, just those shitposting all over), make the system automatically and silently ban them. This will allow one to lurk other boards, but not post on them if they wish to post on /a/, and thus improve the quality of /a/ since crossposters will not be able to adhere. Clearing the cookie will result in being marked as "new" and unable to post on /a/ for a while.

I think we're autosaging, brethren.

>>161478203
>Naruto was never really welcome here until m00t fucked with us

I never said it was fine here. You're so eager to call people newfags you don't even bother to read posts. Look at that insecurity.

>>161478225
time to make meta generals?

>>161478273
This is already a stealth meta general because if you make one with the hiro pic it gets autosaged too early.

This, template threads often branch off to organic discussions or die out naturally. It's only when it's artificially kept alive by image dumps that it becomes an actual off-topic problem.

Sakura fish got his thread deleted, so I think the sticky can go fuck itself

Serious question: why is everyone so opposed to having the sadpanda threads banished to /h/? Wouldn't the freedom to imagedump be a benefit of having the threads moved there?

>>161479255
/h/ is too strict on content

>>161479255
Because image dumping is not a thing on the panda threads, plus /h/ is not the /a/ you are used to discuss with, they rightfully demand sauce every time plus don't really care about anime.

>>161478094
Yeah i never understood why mods back then just didnt ban all shounen

>>161479255
/h/ is for porn.

/co/ used to let adult comics be discussed, if they blocked out nudity, but even then that was up to whatever idiot janitor came across the thread.

Wait, there are 11 pages now?
