/g/ self improvement thread

>>59620481

Less consumerism. More actual tech talk ... like advanced topics.

This board would be improved by removing /bsg/, mechanical keyboard generals and other breeding grounds for homosexuality.

>>59620496
>advanced topics
We only have entry level trash and troll threads and the board are slow.
If we only had advanced topics then the board would be dead.

I would like a board filled with people with knowledge and brains, but I don't know how we can get there from here.

>>59620481
KILL ALL GENERALS THREADS!

BAN ALL GAYMER SHIT

>>59620481
This place would be improved by spontaneously showing OS and Browser of posters. You will see that most holy war shitposting is actually trolling.

>>59620502
Remove all generals. Site-wide.

>>59620663
generals are good, otherwise you'd have 250 more "picture of a used thinkpad" threads

whether you like it or not, gaymer shit is exactly what this board is about

>>59620711
Especially in /vg/.

>>59620733

Eh? I thought there was a gamer board already? But I guess given this websites demographic, it makes sense.

>>59620682
Easy to fake, but it might be fun.

>>59620481
>ban redditors
>ban everyone who creates OMG BTFO threads
>ban desktop pedos(and create an official rule for it)
>more mods that actually do their job.
pretty much all we need
generals aren't that bad, they aren't created as often and they can be easily filtered.

-actually ban support threads. There is a whole board and here a whole general (sqt) dedicated to that
-create a computer customization board for dumb shit like desktops, guts, homescreens, custom homepage, foobar skins etc.
-create a consumer electronics board for phones, watches, "wat r le best labtob for $200 must run hat fortress and minecraft", mp3 players, etc

yes, /g/ will be much slower. Quality over quantity.

Generals are good, just keep shit contained within their generals.
We don't need a seperate thread for everything apple does, just maintain friendly apple general
ban phone related topics that arent in phone general
ban consumer gpu/cpu topics that arent in pc building general
we are actually in a decent spot now, winter has been worse

>>59620711
Generals are a cancer. So far the administration seems happy with one-off fixes for the worst affected boards (/v/ -> /vg/, /tg/ -> /qst/), but eventually they're going to have to address the problem with some kind of site-wide change.

>>59620762
not vg but i mean gaymer shit, gaymer shit like Mechanical Keyboards, high dpi laser mice, graphics cards, retardedly fast cpus etc...

all the technology discussed here (besides phone bullshit) is driven by gaming.

everything else on /g/ is trolling and fanboying OS'es, but 90 percent of what is discussed is directly related to PC gaming and that's just the truth

don't give me 'video editing' bullshit either

>>59620481
only safespacers do not enjoy frogs

>>59620854
>mechanical keyboards and fast cpus are "gaymer shit"

>>59620900

Mechanical keyboards are worse than gaymare shit. It's for ricers who literally do nothing with their PCs.

>>59620854

So much wrong with this post. With that said, however, I wouldn't expect serious scientists/researchers to use this website .... so presumably you are spot on.

We've already had one, fuck off.

What's wrong with generals?

>>59620601
A general for people who actually know what they're talking about, and another one for breaking into the training and the industry. A lot of us have untapped potential that we're just wasting on vidya because we have low motivation and no people skills.

Remove gaymur kebab,
Remove editor war kebab,
Remove language shill kebab

Promote actual tech discussion that isn't <amd/Intel/Nvidia> btfo
New thread called "Consumer General"

Make G great again

>>59620900
uhh mechanical keyboards are precisely gaymer shit dude. just go to amazon or ebay or whatever and type "mechanical keyboard"

you might not be a gaymer but PC gaming is the driving force of that market whether you like it or not. graphics cards and cpu's as well. let me see some i7 vs ryzen benchmarks for codebeans or whatever smart guy shit you guys use

>>59620481
a very easy way to improve 4chin in general would be to ban every person whose start a personal thread outside of /adv/ or even /r9k/

just think about it. it every board there are retards that think others give a shit about them. gtfo.

it would be a pretty simple solution, and would get rid of 90% of the shit it gets posted on every board.

>>59620481

>This place would be improved by banning reddit frogposters

What about r9k crossboarders?

>>59621669
We are /a/ /pol/ /r9k/ and /tv/, deal with it.
-puts on le shades-

Literally move all consumer bullshit to a new board.

Ban all X is better than Y threads

Why not create a Computer Fun/Science board for all the software, and a Computer Hardware/Tech board for phones, pc builds, etc.

>>59622612
how about move all the "let's talk about our programming homework" shit to it's own board? technology is all about products, not underage faggot nerds talking about how much they like to learn

>>59620769
>Easy to fake, but it might be fun.
Pretty sure most of /g/ doesnt know how to use a computer. Someone will have to make a little windows program to fake it with one click and then use the idiots who download it as miners.

>>59620481
Outlaw battlestation, mechanical keyboard, and desktop threads to /wg/. Outlaw Ryzen/CPU and GPU benchmark discussions to /v/. Watch and everyday carry threads belong on /b/. Headphone threads belong on /mu/.

Disallow generals. The stupid questions and programming generals corral posts that can provide more discussion in a shithole of a thread where good posts are ignored. They artificially slow down the board and make room for shitty threads and content.

>>59620601
We have a lot of knowledge and brains here, the problem is that we need to swim through an ocean of piss to find it.

>>59620601
>board are slow
It's still better than some board like /sci/.
Just waiting it to be removed.

Remove troll / bait threads
Ban anyone posting about unlocking a stolen phone

>>59626180
>Ban anyone posting about a phone
ftfy.

There's sometimes 3 active rust threads. Enough with the Rust spam. Allow only one active at the same time

move /ptg/ to the torrent board
ban consumerist shill threads
ban tech support threads

>>59620481
Stricter grammar and spelling policing. ESL niggers need to learn

- Make /sqt/ an auto-creating general and make it a sticky and delete all tech support threads so they have to go to /sqt/
- Also ban threads related to games. Keep that shit in /v/
And the best new rule
- Ban all "____ BTFO" threads

This place would be improved if the rules were enforced
But I guess that's too much to ask for

>>59628950
Ban the constantly derailing shills too

>>59620935
Well now we're having another, so fuck off.

yay i e-hope someone e-reads my e-post


I think you all should suicide asap.

Any thread that contains less than a sentence in the OP is 9 time out of 10 a troll post and should be banned

>no posting from phones
>no trips
>IDs are used
>tech support threads are 30 day ban
>talking about politics more than once per thread is 30 day ban

Is this a thread to improve /g/ or for me to improve?

Because I like the second one.

I want to play wargames. I dont know a fucking thing about script kiddy hacking, and I feel weird typing that into google.

Are there forums or boards that deal with teaching hacking, but arent catered to people who want to steal some girls fb nudes, but for people who want to get into cyber/infosec?

>>59635172
you should try one of these hack me sites

>>59631178
There's a system.
Make a thread, add a poll. Then submit the thread and poll here with an explination.
