I was wondering what happened to that thread, we had a discussion going on about the Pacific War

Yeah, it was actually interesting.
One guy was posting pics about his grandpa, and another guy was talking about a vet he knew who shot a flak cannon on a naval ship in the Pacific.

Mods being garbage is one of the few stable truths of 4chan.

It says the "creation of general threads is discoraged". I guess there can't be any exceptions, but a WW2/Hitler/Holocaust general would really help clean up the catalog.

Genuine question: why does the rule
>Threads should be about specific topics, and the creation of "general" threads is discouraged.
-exist?
I get that you don't want to repeat the same topic over again, and that certain periods or philosophical discussions shouldn't be contained within megathreads only to be drowned out amongst other discussion, but we already have a plague of spammed thread topics about race and current-day issues anyway, which only violates another /his/ rule.

Why not have generals? I assume it was instituted for good reason.

Pottery

>>3110289
I'm guessing it's because everyone and their little subgroup of history/humanities would split up into their own generals and there would be little actual threads posted, like /vg/.

Mods are global, it's the janitor who sucks enormous cock. He often deletes perfectly normal threads for no reason while board-killing shitposting is left standing in catalog like it's no big deal. It's almost like he does it on purpose.
>>3110289
I don't get it either. Would it fucking kill this board somehow to have separate generals for WW1 and WW2 since there's tons of posters who want to discuss it at any time? No, instead we get shitty repetitive threads that clog the catalog.

On larger boards such as /a/, generals just turn into little "comfy" circlejerks and invite the worst types of blogposting, memespewing newfags who have absolutely zero intention of trying to lurk for a few months before posting.

>>3110350
The mods are definitely not stormfags, they just don't give a damn. As long as its not CP or murder, they just don't care. I did get banned a couple times back when /his/ was new for using "racist" terms like nigger and chink.

>>3110367
Should generals not be attempted at all here, then?

Last thread was pretty fun, but I'd hate it if it just became a hugbox. Then again, are shitposters with no interest in learning board culture really an issue, or a theorized one?

>>3110376
Seems like they put a lot more effort into it back then. When was /his/ made? What changed?

>>3110379

Come back in about 10 hours when the safespace shitposter starts up again and see for yourself.

>>3110384
Which would you rather be cursed with: safespace circlejerkers or /pol/tards?

>>3110384
What safespace crap?
Have you seen half the shit people post on here
It's either trolling, racist, or mudslinging insults
Half the board has difficulty sharing any historical or philosophical discussion

>>3110383
>Seems like they put a lot more effort into it back then
Nothing has changed since then, /his/ was terrible since day one. While I was getting banned for hurting some faggots feelings fifel, that mentally ill Arab who types in allcaps and Constantine were running fucking rampant. There was a reason m00t refused to make a history board, and he was proven right.

>>3110390
neither.

>>3110390
>>3110397

The 18:30 BST safespace shitposter IS a /pol/tard who's main complaintbis that /his/ isn't /pol/ 2.0 so is therefore a <buzzword><buzzword> safe space.

>>3110418
So the problem is /pol/. It's always /pol/.

Typical.

It wasn't even that bad and it was pretty civil as far as WW2 threads go.

Hm. Well if it was me I would have made it without the Nazi Germany part, just "WW2 general", it can give off /pol/ vibes to an already mentally disturbed janitor/mod. Any board is shit not just for moderation but also the lack of self moderation by the userbase. "Don't feed the trolls" is a simple concept but many people don't practice what they preach.

>>3110459
Maybe. But I don't think it should be purely military history related, as Hitler and Nazi Germany before the war are also widely discussed, such as the whole "economic miracle" thing, and tie in closely with the cause and course of WW2.
Maybe it could be interwar period/WW2 so it isn't exclusively Germany.

I remember going to Todai-Ji. It is surrounded by a giant park filled to the brim with spotted dear who are friendly, they let you pet them, but they can get rather ornery if they know you have food and intend to give it to them. (They swoop in on you as soon as you buy any food from the vendors.) Nonetheless they are adorable animals, and if you simply sit on a park bench for long enough, one of them will approach you, and even possibly stick their head in your backpack! The inside is equally wonderful, the statue of Buddha in there is sublime, and the shrine shop as well as the museum there isn't too shabby either. Also, Nara in general is a wonderful city.

National Socialism is just another ideology. I don't get why people are especially angry about it when you have Ancaps, Egoists, Nazbols, Maoists, Monarchists, etc... 4chan is a place that attracts a surprising diversity of political ideologies by nature, and there really isn't any reason to be particularly outraged at a Natsoc on 4chan anymore than you would be outraged at any other radical political ideology. I'm thankful that places like these attract a large diversity of political thought. Though I disagree with them, /leftypol/ is a prime example.

History is written by the victors which makes it inherently political. Any historical viewpoint can be taken as /pol/posters. There is no escape

>>3110713

I mainly dislike them because natsocs always spout their stuff everywhere they go no matter the website. They always try to argue against basic facts and think everything has some agenda behind it and everything is some sort of conspiracy (going by the ones here on 4chan that is). Doesn't help they always derail totally unrelated threads, not just on /his/ that is.

It's less what their actual views are (even if I don't really agree with many of their views) and more how obnoxious they are across the entire internet. It doesn't help there seems to be way more now since /pol/ got media coverage, attracting all sorts of normalfags making the board and the entire site more mainstream than ever. /pol/ is pretty much the new /b/

>>3110289
generals quickly suck the topic in question dry and turn into circle jerks unless there's a regular introduction of new material. It's a recipe for disaster on this board to be honest

>>3110938

And that's fine. It's when the shitposting spills out of its containment boards and starts infecting places where people are trying to have an actual discussion, that it becomes a problem.

>>3110938
>Political correctness reaches full retard mode
So you do the respectable thing and go full retard mode right back. Genius.
