>>161858253
Fuck off.
We should merge /a/ with /co/, same shit
Sage and report garbage threads.
>>161858284
And we should call it /aco/.
Allow Digibro discussion and make him mod.
>>161858283
Return sadpanda threads.
H-manga is still manga.
Allow blog threads. /a/ would be more interesting if we could talk about our lives as well

>>161857958
>>161858315
Don't worry, it'll do that on it's own.
>>161858341
heh
Why do we allow mods to abuse their power?
If you want to discuss /y/'s rules you are in the wrong place.
Read the sticky if you don't get /a/'s rules.
>>161858395
I rather not. Sadpanda threads where indirectly responsible for people shitposting with NTR and making h-manga threads outside sadpanda threads.
Basically ebin memers are the reason why we cant have nice things.
Ban Naruto/Boruto discussion. That's all I want.
>>161858500
This is a new low for you. Remember what you just posted in 15 years time.
>>161858450

I think one mod is just being a bit butt frustrated. They happen like once a week, and I doubt he really wants every homo show to have it's own thread especially when some of the less popular ones probably wouldn't get enough attention and bump another thread off the catalog for no reason.
>>161858253
Let's be actually helpful.
Ban Tripfags n namefags.
>>161858431
You're shitposting but this actually used to be a common thing before with the "did you hug your imouto today" threads. Not like they were okay but they used to be allowed, probably still are.

They're stills here.

Just like how pornography is a key course in media and film studies right?
Abloobloo your circlejerk isn't allowed on /a/ anymore, maybe you should go to the right board like you should have, from the start.

>>161858632
No shit, this has happened before. They'll keep the sticky up for a while and then a month or two after it's gone, it's going back to business as usual. Not that it hasn't already, it's just that the threads are now under different names or less structured and the ones that aren't are replaced with threads complaining about how they're not allowed. The solution to generals was to never allow them in the first place but it's too late now that there's a community in place that will cause a problem for having their safe space removed.
>>161858475
With this mindset, you will never be allowed into management. Kind of a shame, since it would be comedy gold seeing you kowtowing to your boss when the company you worked for got sued to hell and back and you were to blame.
>>161858395
amen

just because theres an hmanga thread doesnt mean it should be in a sadpanda thread instead

>>161858723
>sadpandamemers this upset
>Generals
One thread per week, no pastebin in the OP, no one make a new thread as soon the other 404, no thread up 24/7. This rule has being reinforced for years, because homos were afraid of ever becoming a full fledged general.
>Shitposting
No blogging, no discord or people acting like /a/ is tinder, no ERPing, no tumblr blog links, while we do have meta shitposting, it's mostly because we don't want the thread's QUALITY to suffer, would it be better to not complain about any kind of tumblr posting or blogging that belongs on /lgbt/? DJT was nuked because they didn't have any self self awareness about the quality of their posts, is it bad we try to take care of it?
>Homolust
Won't lie that we do have a lot of husbando talk, but isn't that the same for the whole board? Having a waifu is the most normal thing here, and posting that a specific boy/girl is cute isn't breaking any rules as far as I know.
>Discussion
Homo threads usually discuss old or unpopular shows/manga, the reason for that is because usually if you tried to make a thread, for example of Harada/Murakami or even shows like Kyou Kara Maou or even No.6 it wouldn't last long enough for any kind of discussion to happen, because /a/ is too fucking fast.
>/y/
/y/ is NSFW/imagedump porn, because of this, it wasn't made to allow discussion, you can't use spoilers and there is no proper moderation.
I won't appeal for the "we have been here for years" or we're "tradition" or part of the "board culture", because truth be told our fellows /a/nons never cared for us, but it's one thing to not be liked and the other to break any rules, which we never did.

>>161858718
>With this mindset, you will never be allowed into management
Where the fuck did that come from lmao
>>161858578
Right now /a/ is only good for the occasional manga dump, waifufagging, and threads you know are going to exist no matter what.
>>161858780
Maybe because Kyou Kara Maou has nothing to discuss and No. 6 is honest to god shit.
>>161858395
Lmao. Never
>>161858480
I would say those came from /pol/ and /tv/, together with the blacked memes.
>>161858709
Get rid of catalog, archives and other shit that encourages generals.
Go back to the old days of pages and frames.
>>161858807

I disagree. But You hit the nail on BLACKED Memes
>>161858881
hahahaha
Ban all anime discussion for a day and see how the board improves.
>>161858881
If you think Hiro is going to do things that actively detract from making money, you're wrong. Reducing the ease of access to the majority of retards that use the internet would be going directly against getting traffic.
>>161858881
Fuck off grandpa
>>161858780
The tradition part is more about us being here forever without any problems, so it makes no sense to nuke us now, after all these years.
Just add a "/anime" to each board title.
>>161858881
Look at this faggot
>>161858938
Traffic is bad. He should know that much.
>>161858977
This is the same mindset generalfags have though. Just because their garbage has been allowed for years, even despite the fact moderators and others have specifically said generals shouldn't be around, doesn't mean they can complain that they're getting unfair treatment "after all these years". It's how it was supposed to be from the start. Not sure why homo threads are getting it now of all times though.
>>161858936
It usually goes well if it's for a day or two but that's only because everyone realizes it's not going to last. Like April Fools and other days.
The mods need to interact with the board more often rather than staying in the shadows and not telling anyone what they are doing wrong and how to fix them because none of us really know what they're thinking since none of us are mind readers.
>>161858881
>Get rid of the catalog
>Using the default catalog
Wouldn't matter. Secondary sites exist that offer the better functionality. Anyone who's used 4chan for longer than a few months would know about them.
>>161858578
>mods actually watch anime
I will never get why this isn't mandatory for every mod on this site.
Seriously, why are mods global?
Why can i as a user get shit on by some /v/ reject that knows nothing about this board?

Technically. I don't know what form of advertising he uses now but I'm sure the shit he had previously and phone ads were probably making a decent amount of the revenue, not mentioning passes and other methods.
>>161859021
Homothreads have never been generals though. I don't know how many times this needs to be repeated before people understand. It's a completely different case from generals that were allowed to fester for years.
>>161859047
Use better examples. I'm not here to argue your point, I'm here to say your taste is shit.
LNs allowed.
Red board.
Kanji captcha
Lower post limit (100-300).
If your thread is some super-boring niche shit that can't even generate a reply, then it's just too bad.
Accept it as a fact of life.
>>161859023
That already removes half of the general crowd.
External catalogues and archives can be obstructed as well. It's been done in the past.
>>161859094
I wasn't the one who made that post though. I agree that those examples were shit, but I don't think going after shitty examples is really helpful right now.
Ban phoneposters by default, make them pay for passes if they want to post. Gets rid of plenty of garbage while bringing in revenue.
>>161859089
This is correct
>>161859111
>I like
It hurts
>>161859021
Good thing that the homo threads are not and never were generals then.
Reading comprehension issues much?
>>161859163
>>161859089
>Not sure why homo threads are getting it now of all times though.
>>161859111
You act as if everyone who visited homothreads wasn't aware that /a/ bitched about gayshit day in and day out. You've really wounded me here.
>>161859142
Better yet, make them pay 0.1 cent per letter and space, rounded up to 1 dollar minimum.
>>161859212
Feeling powerful yet?
>>161859166
No Tears For The Creatures Of The Night, faggot
>>161858977
That's plain wrong, we always had issues, I said this before in one of the pruned homo threads, but this is nothing new.
>>161858826
That's irrelevant, anons talk about bad shows all the time.
>>161859021
>Not sure why homo threads are getting it now of all times though.
Again, like last year, we got mixed in the crossfire. Since the old mods are trying to force this new "no general" policy, we need to go as well, even though we're not a general, even though we didn't break any rules, we're a low hanging fruit which is easier to nuke than let's say "Drawfags" which is ten times worse than DJT in my opinion.
>>161859122
That would make sites like myanimelist look like the pinnacle of quality discussion.
>>161859275
DJT isn't going anywhere when there's a mod that actively moderates it.
>>161858253
If you ban BL you should ban yuri, too. Get both off the board and into there respective containment boards.
>>161859122
If you start denying the possibility for niche shit to exist on this board and popularity is all that decides whether a thread stays alive or not, then the board will be nothing but those generals you hate so much.
>>161858780
>Homolust
Fujos are the worst kind of people.
Their shitposting is 100% based on how strong their own delusion is and they will endlessly ship a paring that has no chance at happening and will do so every thread unless told to fuck off.
I have nothing against having a husbando or "It's Time" threads but homofags are the worst kind of shippers there exist
>>161859275
I mean issues on the board. Homothreads had metaposting in them sometimes but caused no damage to /a/.
>>161858926
>>161858844
I miss the "X is getting married" threads.
>>161859325
Yuri is good though, BL is shit
>>161859294
You actually go to MAL to read MAL community garbage?
I hope you only went there to gather some data for how much a bunch of anime or music discs and manga volumes were sold in their news section.
>>161859335
Well your post started off badly but you're actually an okay guy despite being a hetfag. Have a nice day.
>>161859332
To make people interested in your niche crap, put some effort into it by translating it, or posting pages.
If you can't be arsed to do it, then it just wasn't good enough for the rest either.
>>161859416
Every once in a while I get an urge to know what different communities think of a given title. Then I can laugh at all those stupid people and feel good about my superior taste.
When did you realize you were becoming the vocal minority whose voice doesn't matter? Whether it's generals, shonen, mobage, /pol/ (or other boards), normalfags, whatever flavor of the month, season or otherwise, these people will and are outnumbering you and whatever you might like. You can argue in a meta thread about how these people should be removed and how the integrity of /a/ or it's culture should be upheld but this is a slow and unstoppable process that will continue regardless of this current sticky or whatever the moderators do. I'm not saying you'll have better luck with whatever you're looking for on other sites or that you should even dream of greener pastures but don't fool yourself into thinking things are still going well. I know newer users are more eager t say things like "I'm still enjoying my time here" and even others will say "/a/ is the exact same/hasn't changed" but you'll come around. They all do.
>>161859335
We don't like shitposters either, anon, fujoshits or idiots that act like the homo version of yuriniggers are not seen in a good light in the homo threads as well. I don't post about gay shit outside of the homo threads and if we do get nuked I won't do it either, because I know it's annoying, because I know no one likes a Mugino copycat.
>>161859515
So now /a/ has an requirement of every poster being fluent in Japanese?
You are moving goalposts.
>>161859536
You need psychological help, Madman
>>161859572
I wish it did.

Then spend your money and pay some shitty students that are learning nippongo for a translation.

And if you think a shitty Slack (i.e. proprietary IRC with bells and whistles) clone that sells users' personal data, bans political servers and individuals that aren't leftist, and appeals to 12-year-old /v/tards, kindly stick with your beloved Leddit.

Oops, didn't finish my sentence.

>>try to start discussion about underappreciated work

That happens everywhere.
I think chart threads should be allowed as long as they are original content (i.e. not reposting the same old shit or asking to be spoonfed)
>>161860405
Most good charts are old as fuck.
>>161860179
This. Reddit and MAL are amongst the worst places to discuss anime if you've seen more than 20 shows.
Every other forum I've come across is either dead or only dedicated to a singe series.
>>161860459
I like most of the charts made in recent years by whoever did that one.
>>161860654
>>161860405
3x3 threads are still allowed, no?
>>161860687
Not for long.
>>161860687
I guess they are technically chart threads, but particularly shit ones. They should just go. It is basically a general, with circlejerking tripfags and people who may as well be tripfags validating each other and newfags who've seen maybe 20 anime showing off their shit taste, as well as ironic shitposters and a handful of hipsters who share nothing of value. There used to be a couple of good posters in there including the guy who made that chart, I think. But it's literally the same thread filled with the same idiots being repeated over and over with hardly any discussion. It's useless.

There are still multiple medium sized active forums, but most of them are garbage.

We had a Texhnolyze thread with 500 posts recently.
4chan always was a place where you could talk about niche works. This was especially the case for games and anime.
>>161861042
That's why I prefer 4chan and will unironically defend its quality. Even at its worst its capable of producing much better discussion than almost any other forum, where series like LoTG or Lain are considered "underground" by their standards.
