post a fit

>make a 'lifestyle general' where people can post shit about cigarettes, /fa/ hobbies, etc..
This cancer is never going to stop being posted but it at least can be segregated to a single thread.
>Make sure basic questions are only posted in the fuccboi general and w2c goes in w2c general
It should be a bannable offense for shitting up the board with threads that fit into either of these categories
i.e. shit like
>>11658863
>>11659481
>>11659146
>threads strictly about homescreens or wallpapers or phones deleted instantly
these have nothing to do with clothing or even the /fa/ lifestyle.

>>11660283
triggered pol whore

we should also do something about "is ____ effay" threads cause some of them are maximum autististic

>>11660298
this. "is sonic the hedgehog effay??"

Is there even a mod for this board? It's so slow I feel like shitposts stay for forever

Everyone on /fa/ not be such a big pussy. That would be a huge improvment. For a board that is mostly men with an interest in clothing you guys dress way to safe and boring.

BAN ALL THE TEENAGER SHIT

>>11660245
I haven't been here for like a year. It's amazing how nothing has changed, they even post the exact same images in the inspo kind of threads.

Institute a forced age limit. No one under 18 but ideally no one under 20. That'd be the only way to get /fa/ back on topic, at the very least. It's mainly the kids that fuel all the shit like face rate threads, and mainly the kids who are too young to have a feasible grasp on runway fashion.

But that isn't happening so just let /fa/ die. I used to hate our tripfags but now I want them back cos at least it was fun watching this place burn. I'd even be ok with pigfuck

>>11660397
There's no way to really verify someone's age.
The whole site is supposed to be 18+

>>11660402
I know, that's why I said it's impossible, this is just a hypothetical

>>11660402
If your fashion icon is a 14 year old kid on Instagram or Tumblr or one of these Will Smith children or that Norwegian downie rapper, I can verify that you're underage.

bring back casemods and slater.

This thread again? Again?


This site has nothing to offer anybody. There is no quality content you cannot get more quickly and efficiently elsewhere. This is an addiction which reduces your productivity, attention span, and free-time. You are becoming more bitter, narrow-minded, haughty, and old. Leave now and block this site. There is nothing here but slow, lonely suicide.

People do not have arguments here. Posters do not engage one another on key points, they nitpick with greentext and mock each other. Nobody is interested in the truth; people are battling for fleeting moments of superiority. Active commenters are loud jackasses who tumble into one internet fight after another, anxiously keeping ten tabs open to ensure they keep the last word in all of them. An insightful post is one in ten thousand, and no matter how hard you filter this place you are still searching for diamonds in a garbage dump.

This place is not making you happy. You are not having fun. You are not gathering stories to tell, learning, or growing as a person. Instead you chuckle every thirty minutes and are occasionally spurred to masturbation by libidinal posts or pictures. You are addicted to readily available information and pressure free social interaction. This place is slowly poisoning you with misogyny, narcissism, a false dichotomy surrounding normalfags, and insecurity.

I'm not telling you to be yourself. I'm not telling you to go outside. I'm not even telling you to make friends. Just leave 4chan. Do anything else.

we need to take down all the shitposting like "is my dog fa ?" or "is yeezy fa ?" or worst all the kids worshipping fear of god fag shit

oh and people with no taste don't comment on waywt threads

i feel like it's been a year since a massive amount of plebs and fuccbois joined fa and it has been for the worst

>>11660397
>No one under 18

literally 80% of this board

also the reason its so shit

Stop the angsty Rick Owens meme

Stop ignoring brands that aren't ridicuously priced

And for the love of God, stop malnurishing yourselves. You always end up looking frail and your fit suffers from it even if you spend couple thousands on it.
Just from all the meet ups, you can see that seemingly everything on meme point fits still look terrible because you are not the physically active guy you see in photos.

Also, what's up with this slav core lately?

The best way to improve board quality is simple: stop replying to trolls. It's that easy

>be around 8
>mom doesn't pay attention to me
>dad doesn't hug me
>grow up like this
>be 16
>mildly interested in fashion
>think girls will find me more attractive if I have sick fits and people will pay attention to me, unlike mom & pop
>fail to realize girls will find me more attractive if I was just a more agreeable person
>anyway browse /fa/
>state my opinions as facts
>people reply to my posts

>get huge power boner

that's half of /fa/ for you

>>11660267
Agreed with this, also tumblr threads, face rate threads, and "is (completely off topic shit) effay??" threads should be a ban too.

This board is somewhat slow so a lack of moderating is expected but i feel like there is barely any moderation at all. Either hiro doesnt give a shit or hes just too dumb to manage his mods and fix this place. Even though moots a faggot i miss him, /fa/ was somewhat better when he was still around.

>>11660497
And you expect that moderation is going to change or will ever change? It will never happen.

ban all teenagers

ban all hypebeasts

ban facerate/facial aesthetic threads

ban all other /soc/ tier garbage

ban all /fit/ shitposters

ban all /pol/ and /tumblr/ faggots

>>11660509
So ban the entire board?

I like the cut of your jib anon

people just need to stop to lie themselves about everything, would solve all the shit

>>11660267

Also all the /soc/ shit like instagram/tumblr/facerate/city threads should be on /soc/, not here unless it's about meetup or something

I reported about 5 threads that have nothing to do with clothes (like the is pepsi effay thread) hours ago and they're still up. It's like the mods truly don't give a shit about this place

Send beginners to the sticky like /fit/ does, maybe put the fucking dinosaur running around or some variant

After a particularly horrible Australia thread a few weeks ago it is pretty apparent that none of the new kiddies even notice the sticky, despite it having a decent list of stores as well as essential beginners reading. A few years ago we could have threads where people could recommend and discuss stores, and I ended up learning about all sorts of cool little places that I could buy from and support local businesses. Now its literally just people talking about trash tier shops at the mall (like tarocash and jay jays, fuck me dead), and where to cop black and white roshes. It would be nice to be able to talk about your city and what the dress scene is like but now its pretty much just >hurr theres a new H&M/uniqlo that just opened! Should I get this pleather coat?

>>11660549
There are no mods
I've reported more than 10 cases of people straight up saying they are underage on /fa/ which is ban in under 10 minutes in any other board and none of these people got banned

>>11660549
this is the only real answer. we need some mods and janis. didn't 4chan have some sort of applications a while back. what happened with that? I'll nominate myself if the shit mods are reading this. I've been here since the start of 2010 if that help.

Bring back casemods

>>11660577
to be fair, I've been here since the casemods days and never noticed the sticky until you said we have one.

>>11660611

There was one for ages that was heaps outdated, I think the current one was made in 2012 or 2013

>>11660627
still not as current as needed for a topic as fast changing as fashion.
How would the process of updating it function?

>>11660430
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hhx6IfKrvEQ

>>11660584
They recruit most years, so keep an eye out in the future when applications open

>>11660663

Anybody can update it, the easiest thing is to just add or update things if they are wrong or irrelevant. Infographs, stores, how to guides, good/bad brands, common mistakes etc... can all be edited by people with a bit of knowledge. I helped put together the Australian stores page by taking info from Australia threads back when it was getting built, similar process can be done by anybody else

We need to update the sticky. Then we send anyone that doesn't know shit to the sticky. We make a /lifestyle/ general thread, send any and all lifestyle aside from maybe interior threads there. Make inspo/Discussion threads.

Bump keep this going

Lurked since I was 16 put only started posting when I was 18, now 20. If people on here 'watched and learned' then we wouldn't have so many malformed underbite acne tweens, festering on this board.

I'm willing to take some time out of my day to update Tuxbell to the general consensus of /fa/?

Please, tell me what should be added? What should change or removed! We need a better wiki to give for newcomers when we send them to the sticky.

Sage still works, /fa/m. Sage threads when sending them to the appropriate generals.

not as bad as you thought ha?

i've been using /mu/ for like a year and a half now but i've started visiting /fa/ more frequently in the last few weeks and i have to say /mu/ is the superior board. the catalog rotates faster, if you create a thread about anything on /mu/ you'll most likely start a conversation and /mu/ has less vocal /pol/fags. I like fashion though and I've found some good brands through here.

>>11662329
We should make a sticky update thread - pretty much all the most common questions should be in there like cheaper alternatives to CPs, best high quality basics, etc.

>>11662765
The reason /mu/ is better is because it doesn't take any money, just time.

/fa/ takes both time and money to get good at, therefore most of our posters are shit.

The posters who are good at fashion quickly leave because there's no inspiration to be had here, just a bunch of teenagers posting $50 mall fits. And it will continue until the end of time or until the average age of poster goes up by like 5 years

>>11662879
yeah I never thought of that actually

>>11662879
/fa/ needs to become more about the art and less of a mfa. The posters that have more knowledge about fashion overall have always been the best dressed anyway

I've been wanting to make a review on GATs for the longest time since they're a really versatile shoe and they show up in every other thread. The problem is I don't know how to review them. I always end up rambling and going off topic. I don't want a super in-depth review at this point, just a little bit of general information to put in a new wiki or something. What should I talk about in the review to cover most bases? Comfort/aesthetics?

Pic is something I've been working on for the thread when I eventually post.

Ban /pol/-bait, and ignore it until it is able to be banned (since moderation here is slow as fuck).

It never has to do with fashion, and when it does, it's almost entirely anti-fashion (e.g. "those glasses are nu-male"); these political nonsense posters seem to have a lot of (sometimes contradictory ideas) of what not to wear, but never suggest what is acceptable.

>>11660245
fuck /pol/ and their fascist threads, they offer close to nothing but okay hair inspo, get rid of "is ____ effay" threads and things should slowly start to return to normal

>>11661078
/fa/ is the only place where we /thinspo/ don't get shit on 24/7.
Can you imagine a /thinspo/ on /fit/ or /r9k/? We would either get shit on for having a large female base by beta "redpilled" basementdwellers or shit on by meatheads for not getting "ripped" or being "high test".

It may not be related to cloths but I think it is kinda a part of the fashion world. Not even the best fit looks good on an obeast and not everyone on /thinspo/ is pro ana.

I think the reason for the decline in quality has to do with new people coming to the board. Everyone from old /fa/ has left and moved on to new and most likely better sources of inspiration. Since you can't get rid of new people (mostly political minded people and general newfags) the only thing to do is to educate people on what fashion really is.
