We need less meta threads.

we need to get rid of the tech help threads

>4. screenshots of peoples workstations are technology

I still don't understand why the mods don't split the board up into technology and consumer technology (and maybe even technology generals for the cancerous general threads), the only reason graphic card threads are here are because the mods over at /v/ or /vg/ don't seem to allow it, there's zero technological discussion over whether which brand of cards run specific games better or worse

>screenshots of peoples workstations are technology
1. No it isn't. It's the same as saying "screenshot of peoples' microwave is technology"

NO technological discussion happen in Workstation threads, just /soc/ tier circlejerk. Workstation threads are off-topic and belongs to >>>/b/.

Taking a photo of a computer and pretending it's technology is a very low quality excuse.
>>>/global/rules/6

2. If workstation threads are allowed, so should be desktop threads. By your logic, "screenshots of peoples' desktops/workspace(es) are technology"

3. Technology is "the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life, society, and the environment, drawing upon such subjects as industrial arts, engineering, applied science, and pure science." (Dictionary.com, viewed 15-Sep-16)

Workstation/battlestation threads do not follow the definitation. So considering this new thread is implausible.

4. If this thread is allowed, /g/ will become more of a consumerist website for gamer consumer reviews (which it already is to some extent).


Battlestation threads (aka workstation threads) are just an excuse fo /v/ spillages to show off the gamestations they purchased and they ALL are hungry for others' validation.

Threads or pictures like these has NO place in /g/

>>56605542
desktop threads are technology, i only said workstations so i dont get autosaged
i dont care about battlestation threads

>>56605542
Bottomline:
/BST/ - Battlestation threads = Validation thread for insecure /v/ spillages.

NOT technology

Delete desktop threads on sight, they are not technology. Ban anyone who posts in them.

custimizing your desktop is very technoligicaly involed, there is a reason that like 10 people make threads everyday asking how to make their desktop look nice now that desktop threads are gone

>>56605595
Your argument is that something not tech related was ban, and people keep posting it regardless, so we should un-ban it to keep them from posting.

You see why that's retarded? Just keep banning them.

You've always been able to delete your own threads.
They just stop you doing it a certain amount of time past the thread was created, which is 10 minutes if I'm not mistaken.
It was to counteract the people who would create a thread, delete it after a while and then blame the janitors.

on the contrary, it's the influx of fast paced cancerous consumer technology and borderline technology threads that's pushing actual technology discussion off of the board; nobody wants to spend a few minutes typing up an actual technical discussion on something when by the time you press reply the thread's already on page 5 and literally nobody but you and the person you were replying to will see it

look at the catalogue some time, there's usually at least 15 active general threads with maybe another 10 less active or popular ones along with new generals because the bump limit is hit, while the case can be made that general threads keep the board free from dozens of the same threads in practice what happens is you get the same 5-10 threads permanently glued to the first page such as: dpt (one of the few actual technical discussion threads), wdg, hpg tpg spg sqt not to mention more cancerous shit like ptg csg bst wt (a fucking general that not even /fa/ will tolerate) and a few other infrequent general threads like mkg -- and is if these generals weren't enough you get the constant non-general discussion like windows 10 shilling, see pic related -- it's over a year old -- has the situation improved today? fuck no

/g/ has always been a slow board and there's nothing wrong with that but the zero effort consumer technology or borderline technology threads like bst or desktop threads set the pace the actual technology threads need to match and few threads can keep up

the gaming boards have a generals board - /v/ and /vg/, why can't /g/? it would solve a good deal of the problems immediately while a more permanent solution can be found (and we all know the temporary solutions are the best)

Great so now every board has to have these meta threads after Hiro decided to come visit again.

Alright then, ban /v/ related shit, consumerism out, /pol/fags out, permanently ban normalfags who get anally ravaged at the sight of anime and anyone who posts "normie", "kys" or frogshit which would be most of the /reddit9k/ and /v/ fags. Brand loyalty and phone posters should also get the boot. Oh yeah, bring back visible sage.

Same post here again.

Maki, nor Lain nor Stallman nor Terry are your mascots. You shouldn't even fucking have a mascot at all, because a mascot gives the seeming implication that "only elitists who like mascot X will post on the board."

I think the microsoft faggots would love to have their own board.
It's the easiest way to cut down on the consumer bullshit. Think about it. Microsoft is usually used by brain dead gamers, and this board is slowly turning into /v/armint tech support. Move Micro$haft to their own board and most of the faggotry goes with them.

>>56605329
Fuck off, mods don't have to follow rules. Don't be a faggot and you won't get banned.

Having to provide reasons only gives autists and sjw's a chance to try and catch the mods in a fallacy or some shit. 4chan has always been a mootocracy and by extension its not a hirocracy.

The mods are an extension of their divine will, or in this case divine wind.

It would derail good threads, sort of like what you're doing now. People put more focus on what someone put in the email/name field instead of what's been posted. If visible sage would return I'm afraid it would be completely abused like /jp/sies have in the past.

No, moot removed this a little while before he quit. Maybe like 6-12 before? I can't remember exactly when. It was because people would make shitposts, delete them, make more shitposts, etc and clog up boards that way. If you made a thread, and you entered the time which allowed you to delete your thread, it wouldn't allow you to. This was silently reverted some time ago though.

>>56607004

>>56607058
It was hidden because retards see it and think it's the same as downvoting a thread. Plus other retards use it thinking its a downvote, or they use it when they post insulting comments about OP's mother and/or spam

Wait, battlestation/desktop threads got banned? Thank fucking god. People cannot seriously claim that any legitimate technological discussion was held in those threads. They're just a giant circlejerk for people looking for some form of validation in their life.

>>56607058
What? You got it mixed up man, it was the rest of the site that caused it to become invisible. People were attempting to use it as a downvote button and thought it would unbump threads or affect threads in a negative way. /jp/ generally didn't use it that way and discouraged others from using it like that in threads there.

>>56607059
yeah, this is what it is now, and it's probably honestly for the best.

Fixing /g/ is very simple.

Consumer technology gets its own board. This includes operating systems and other software. Linux is included in this.
Tech support threads get sent to /wsr/ like they should.
Technology related to gaming gets sent to /v/ unless it has a good reason not to.
Desktop/screenfetch threads, battle station threads, and other such threads are not technology and belong in /trash/.

There you go. Done. /g/ is fixed.

>>56607103
I think a desktop threads and ricing threads are ok. The circle jerking is the problem.

>>56607166
nobody is saying that they are bad...we are saying that they don't belong on /g/
take that shit to /g consumer/

/g/ seems ok in general but the only thing that worries me is the increasing, frog posting and anime avatar fagging, this threads are pointless and the people or the guy who made them clearly have no interest on technology.

>>56607141
almost all of your opinions are wrong but ill only mention this one.

if you send all tech support threads to /wsg/ they will never get answered if its something even remotely niche (which it is if google didnt work). for this reason no one will actually use /wsg/ for it. if you start strictly banning tech support threads then people will start loosely disguising them as discussion threads to get around it, if you start banning those then any thread that mentions an issue with something will instantly be banned, ruining the board. its not viable to ban tech support threads, which is why /sqt/ has existed for ages. you clearly have shit opinions and understanding of probably everything.

>>56607166
They're not inherently bad, but they inevitably tend towards a circlejerk. Besides, I think /wg/ is a more appropriate place for them.

First of all, I want to say that /g/ is near /b/-tier cancerous, and we have the mods to thank for this.

Here are some suggestions:
1. We have rules for a reason, and they need to be enforced. Threads asking for help or asking for buying advice need to be removed immediately and the posters need to be banned.

2. Mr Robot is not a technology and threads about this belong in /tv/.

3. Daily /mpv/ threads, "ITS OVER X IS FINISHED", AMD vs NVIDIA, and similar retard shit need to go. Graphics cards threads attract too many underage /v/ and /b/ kids and should be moved to a containment board.

4. Whenever Apple does something, we don't need 10 threads about it. Anti-apple, Android circlejerks are major shitposting sessions and don't encourage the discussion of technology so much as they encourage "lol Apple sux" posts.

Let's bring quality posts to /g/ please!

sticker threads arent a problem because they are ironic and people will get bored of the joke eventually.

>>56605629
desktop threads are banned on /w/ and get randomly deleted by some janitor on /wg/.

>>56607218
Fuck off. This is a technology board. Go somewhere else if you don't want to discuss technology.

>>56607216
If it was only to appreciate the images I would agree, but and all the configuration part?

>>56607222
Then they should get rid of the janitor that's doing it. Problem solved.

Honestly, i like seeing workstation threads because seeing how other people do things helps improve my workflow.

I don't see how desktop environments and software are not technology.

>>56607452
100% agree. Remember a few days ago with the iPhone 7 launch? 15+ "lol appel sux" threads. We need to somehow purge this place of the consumerist bullshit and remove the video game fags. The way to do this is to ban motherfuckers and delete their threads.

>>56607534
>hide threads you don't like
Or the mods could, you know, enforce the fucking rules.

>>56607650
rules don't exist for you to have only the posts you like and none of the posts you dislike

there's a reason 4chan has always been very lax in enforcing them compared to most internet communities. If you want the mods to kick out anyone who posts about something you don't like I'm sure there's a subreddit for you.

>>56607687
You fucking idiot, it has nothing to do with what I like/dislike.

>/g/ is for the discussion of technology and related topics.
>/g/ is NOT your personal tech support team or personal consumer review site.

The problem is the lack of enforcement of these rules. I am here literally all day and I see multiple threads about food, porn, tech help, purchasing advice, etc. Go take your tolerance of shit somewhere else.

Why should we discuss technology news on /g/, then? Just go to the forum of a news website or Hacker News. Why should we discuss programming, for that matter? Just go to Stack Exchange or a C++ forum.

4chan should have a board for every subject. You can't just outright ban something or force it to /b/ or /r/, especially not if people want to discuss it with their likeminded peers, which is what the fucking website is for.

/g/ should never had moderators or janitors. /g/ is a brotherhood like /b/ and /pol/ full of inane comments and should police itself. sage or ignore bad threads. but the influx of reddit has brought whiners that throw tantrums like autistic little kids who make terrible threads while complaining about other threads.


Remember to sage in threads if you're going to post an inane comment in it or just ignore it. Remember to bump decent threads from the bottom of the catalog to prevent them from entering the abyss. Encourage reddit or /v/ tier posters to stick to the /SQT/ containment thread.

This board is clearly, whether ironically or not, for people who use Linux, watch anime, and program while posting from their rooted custom ROM Android device via Clover. That's fine, but it seems like any opposition is hated on. Making it a safe space for the people I described.

I get the 4chan humor and community, I do. I've been here for years, but ironic shitposting is still shitposting. Even if people are trying to meme and be funny, it just looks like shit regardless.

For example, we can't have an Apple thread. At all. People always ruin it. Regardless if they do it as a joke or due to actual hate, it's still shit to anyone on the outside. This doesn't happen in the Linux threads.

The threads are always bad anyways. There's very small amounts of real discussion. Only threads with anything good are the generals. It's just Apple headphone jack, Samsung battery, etc. Reposts.

Anytime you have a discussion people always shit over it. I like the new iPhone. iOS is gay faggot iToddler cuck lol he couldn't even get his tumor removed Android master race! Etc.

I get this is anonymous so people with issues take it out on others to feel better about themselves and they go here because other places it just doesn't work, but they end up ruining things for everyone. I gave up trying to have discussions long ago because it never works. When it does it's great though.

Reddit is a much better place in terms of this, but I like 4chan more and I love the philosophy of image boards. There's just an element missing to stop people from ruining it.

The problem is that toxic people force normal people to leave. This only leaves toxic people and makes the normies that stay turn toxic because you are the company you keep. What you end up is just shitposting and a circlejerk of shit. And it also makes you a worse person because it's just negativity. @5:40 explains what I'm talking about.
