Should /m/ start using poster IDs in order to combat derailm

I propose /m/ related mandatory usernames

>>15346106
Don't we already have one? The thread talking about shitposting:
>>15341436

>>15346116
I don't mind this, or just required tripcodes even.

Hide shitposter threads.

Ignore shitposter posts.

Do not reply to shitposters.

>>15346106
I don't think that's a bad idea, though it probably wouldn't stop the countless bait threads.

>>15346116
I'd be down for this, but of course people will go "BUT MUH ANONYMITY"

>>15346119
>>15346116
IDs I can understand (they won't do anything btw because the same evader/s will still continue their evading and evasion) and wouldn't mind.
Mandatory usernames are completely anathema to why I use 4chan over any other "forum".
Also, what's to stop some dedicated cunt from using fake credentials over and over again? It doesn't solve the problem. IDs don't either, but they aren't intrusive and there are already extensions that track first posts in threads, so this is sort of an extension of that. It's a small deterrent, but it could help.

Instead of anonymous, everyone should either have a RGM-79 or MS-06 for their name.

>>15346144
IDs don't work, they can be spoofed.

IDs have a prove track record. Other boards have used them to great effect. There is no one solution that is going to be perfect and solve everything, but IDs will filter out a lot of the shit. It's a great deterrent.

>>15346152
The real problem we have are just 1 or 2 dedicated shitposters, who are more than capable of spoofing a bajillion IDs, because they're that determined to shitpost.

And everyone else suffers for the whole IDs thing.

Very smart of you, and /m/ already is a very slow board.

>>15346106
I approve, but as you can see from the total votecount, /m/'s problems lay outside of dedicated shitposters.

>>15346159
Why would anyone suffer from the IDs? Unless you're samefagging, what trouble would they cause?

>>15346151
That's what the gist of my post was, dude.

We should send Toku generals to /tv/ or /jp/ while we're at it.

There's been a lack of new content lately so people have nothing to talk about...

How about having to swear allegiance to the Federation or Zeon before posting and that determines your flag?

>>15346144
I think a good reason for having usernames or tripcodes is more to encourage people going by their online handles, and making people with these handles appear much more credible than anons. While anyone can make a shit-ton of IDs or tripcodes, nobody can fake an existing one and if people tend to ignore anons without an identifier, I think the shitposting might die down a bit.

This is about the fifth time you've made this thread. Are you going to stop, and go away?

>>15346152
There's really only one solution to this, and it sorta undermines the nature of 4chan in the process:

The SomethingAwful method. Pay to register to post, shitposting gets your posting rights revoked, have to pay again to reregister. The financial cost acts as a deterrent against acting like an idiot, though it would kinda necessitate board specific mods who have a good read of their assigned beat and can recognize shitposting in context rather than assuming report abuse.

>>15346159
This guy >>15346164 is right. You sound like you're the one who shitposts. If it's so easy to bypass IDs, then state the methods.

>>15346182
and make /m/ even slower?

All /m/ needs is actual fucking moderation.

>>15346230
The thing is that we do have mods. It's just that the mod or janitor is either the shitposter or in league with him.

>>15346223

Any moron can use Tor or any IP changing program to get a new "ID". And unless you announced to the world you were someone else, no one would know.

>>15346244
You expect anybody to believe that /m/'s shitposters want to put in the kind of minimal effort.
pfft

>IDs won't work, they'll just bypass them
You can naysay all you want, but every board that IDs have been implemented on have drastically improved in quality.

Step 1 is to enforce /pol/ containment, the sewage has been leaking out since election season and no one has cleaned that shit up.

Step 2, range ban phone IPs, phoneposting is one of the biggest sources of low quality content right now, post on a real computer or fuck off to twitter.

Step 3, add a fucking text field to the post reporter form so you can give a short explanation of why a post is being reported, so that maybe the goddamn mods can make an informed decision for once in their lives.

This really should've been in since day one.

>>15346197
That's cute and all, but go to mechatalk or Reddit or something. I dislike that mentality that invariably follows of poster identity = authority/quality vs. post content = authority/quality.
You can still find great discussion here, but you have to scrounge for it more than ever before. I think the point OP is hoping to get to is one of less trudging through the muck. Thread (emphasis on thread) IDs won't do the trick against our particular "boogeyman", but they may help and don't change the nature of the site, so I'll give them a shot.
>>15346194
What's wrong with a marginally slower board?
It's not like the site isn't super integrated (thread watcher) or tabbed browsing doesn't exist. The subgroup of Tokufans would be free to post here, their generals would just be on another board.

>>15346129 is the only correct motherfucker in this thread.

Serious question:

what's wrong with shitposting and thread derailment?


Also, do you seriously believe that "quality discussions" are what makes this website fun?

Like, do you seriously, honestly care about what you call "quality discussions", whatever that means?

Why do you come here if not to be free to post whatever you want without having to answer for it to anyone but mods?

Don't you realize that enforcing poster ID would thoroughly and durably ruin the appeal of this site, whereas shitposting only mitigates it temporarily?

I'll play along so nobody else replies to your hippiespacing post.
>what's wrong with shitposting and thread derailment?
Prevents potentially enriching, entertaining or informed discussion from flourishing.
>Also, do you seriously believe that "quality discussions" are what makes this website fun?
Yes, I do. Because I am not 15 years old. But I also believe that shitposting is not the same as having boardculture and in-jokes.
>Like, do you seriously, honestly care about what you call "quality discussions", whatever that means?
Read what I said above and think about it, if you honestly want an answer that is.
>Why do you come here if not to be free to post whatever you want without having to answer for it to anyone but mods?
Because I don't browse any other website, you might come here because you feel treated unjustly on Reddit (as evident by your formating) but that does not mean you can come here to take your dumps.
>Don't you realize that enforcing poster ID would thoroughly and durably ruin the appeal of this site, whereas shitposting only mitigates it temporarily?
Read the thread, what others had to say about it, and no.

>>15346106
Can we just get an active mod and janitor for this?

>>15346363
>Don't you realize that enforcing poster ID would thoroughly and durably ruin the appeal of this site, whereas shitposting only mitigates it temporarily?

It's time for shitposters to evolve. Here's your limitation, be creative about it you mong.

>>15346285
While I agree that thread IDs probably won't solve the problem, they should at least reduce or slow it. Worth a shot.

>>15346391
Okay, so you honestly do not realize that every embarrassing post you've ever made (and there doubtlessly are dozens of them at the very least) will forever be tied to you, and subsequently make every attempt of "serious" discussion meaningless by association because any interesting shit you may say will be viewed through the lens of the bullshit you've previously said.

Also, shitposting and thread derailment are sources of entertainment, enrichment and information that are just as valid (if not more efficient) than whatever you think counts as quality discussions.

And yes, that includes lazyposting, blatant trolling and all the rest. Those are some of the rare things that prevent /m/ from being a shithole. Right now we have a very comfortable, optimal level of shitposting with less drawbacks than advantage. Some boards are less fortunate but overall, the mere existence of continued shitposting proves that anonymity is more enjoyable than the absence of shitposting. Otherwise we wouldn't keep doing it.

It's at least 50% of what makes this website fun to browse, and why just like you, I practically don't use any other website. Because unlike on reddit, anonymity allows us to not enforce bullshit standards upon ourselves.

If you think that you don't like being a dickhead, indulging in silly circlejerks, or just upholding contradictory opinions depending on what's more fun, you should probably stick to reddit, or to any anime forum, really.

Then maybe you'll realize that "quality discussion" really aren't that much fun compared to shitposting and anonymity.

>>15346116

If we have IDs then honestly it doesn't matter if we use names or not.

>>15346215

The problem is that encourages sucking the mod's cock at all times.

Actually enforcing the "shitposting is a bannable offense" rule would fix a lot.

I'd like to remind everyone that this is an IMAGEboard and that its primary purpose is not to encourage discussion, but to dump pictures. The quality of discussion is ultimately irrelevant and pictureless threads are essentially a misuse of this website.

>>15346409
>Being contrarian is fun
So this is the state /m/ has sunk to

>>15346106
Stop with all the fucking meta threads already this is like the fourth one made in a day now.

>>15346440
Different anon. I imagine you're being thick on purpose, but I'll humour you. Thread IDs are not the same as usernames.
You're only tied to them for the life of the thread. You can have your serious Robotech thread and shitpost over in the Delta thread at the same time with thread IDs. They really exist to curb samefaggotry, but as others including myself have said, it's easy to get around.

>>15346164
>Unless you're samefagging,

It'd be the opposite actually. You'd just get people manipulating the ID in order to "prove" they're not samefagging or worse people intentionally replying to their same ID while pretending they're oblivious about it to send everyone else into a tirade over the obvious samefagging.

>>15346455
The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality images and informative comments.

>>15346440

Not him but all you're telling me is not that you want to shitpost, but that you want to shitpost without consequence. No site, no matter what it is, is immune to shitposting, you can do it anywhere. The only thing that makes 4chan different is that the mods are lazy and don't do anything about it, even though the rules do actually say that shitposting is supposed to be punished by ban just like being off the topic of the board is.

>>15346269
>add a fucking text field to the post reporter form so you can give a short explanation of why a post is being reported,

That sounds like a good idea at first but you know it's just gonna be nothing but NIGGERNIGGERNIGGERNIGGERNIGGER or KEKKEKKEKKEKKEKKEKKEKKEKKEK spam.

>>15346478
That's a lie fabricated to give mods more leeway and freedom of interpretation of what constitutes a bannable post.

>>15346440
>Okay, so you honestly do not realize that every embarrassing post you've ever made will forever be tied to you,

Oh, so you're a fucking newfag who doesn't know how IDs work. They are just per thread. Lurk more, post less.

Agreeing with someone is being contrarian now?

>>15346485
>to give mods more leeway
How do you get more leeway than "absolute power"? Whatever the mods say, goes, this isn't a democracy.

>>15346182
Seconding this.

>>15346106
There are absolutely no downsides to giving /m/ post ids.
Honestly the fact that only 49 people voted though is kind of disheartening.

>>15346455
That is why I usually have /d/ open. Its a true imageboard. Except for those threads where they fucking get into discussion and have like 269 posts and 8 pics.

>>15346484
Just ban the people who do that then.
I've been banned for shit even more trivial than that.

>>15346478
Mods like to pull that card whenever they want to ban someone who hasn't done anything wrong.

>>15346455
Imageboards, by definition, are MESSAGEboards that support the posting of images. It's fine that you made up your own definition, just stop forcing it onto others (yes, i know image-less threads are garbage and should be shot in the head).

>>15346363

Oh come on. /m/ is the only half-decent place there is out there to discuss giant robot cartoons without being either inundated by casuals or fragmented into nothingness like Reddit. The fact that there's a reasonable quality of discussion in many threads is by far this community's biggest saving grace compared to some of the real shitpile boards like /v/.

If you want to see how shitposting makes a community demonstrably worse, look at /krg/ compared to any of the other general threads. /krg/ is by far the worst general thread we have, and it's largely because it's the most vulnerable to things like someone trying to start a witch hunt against some namefag nobody knows or gives a shit about. Contrast /srwg/, the best general we have, which has largely managed to shrug off shitposters and maintain a flow of discussion. Nothing about that stops memes, like when a dozen people will quote Hibiki Engrish lines at each other in a row, but that's people sharing a joke rather than monkeys flinging shit at each other and accusing one another of being some dumbass on Twitter.

>>15347201
Because /m/ HAS changed, and people are desperate to get it back. You want to stop this discussion? Then use self moderation to get /m/ back to being a mecha board, and not a /a/,/v/,/b/ reskin that it is now. This is a nuclear option, asked for by desperate people. Of course IDs are going to irrevocably change /m/. The people asking for them know that. They just think things are bad enough to take that chance.


>>15346285
Thread IDs aren't going to get rid of shitposters. But it will get rid of lazy shitposters. Not everyone is going to unplug their router for everypost, just so they can fake an argument. Yes some autists still will, but it will be less fun if there is effort involved.

And yes the people who use proxies won't be affected at all, which is kind of bad since they are the worst ones. At least it would get rid of all the kids from forums and IRCs who get talked into shitposting here since it's so easy and free of consequence.

If you want to improve things, genuinely wish for a better board, then it's going to take a lot more than just the Poster IDs.

I'm all for Poster IDs if it'll help improve posting quality, but is that honestly the only issue that's going on here?

A lot of you come to this board with no real dedication to the genre. You're divided into groups of people who just want to stay in their safe zones. Whether it's the people who just watch Gundam or the people who just watch Kamen Rider, or what ever else.

All of you need to actually start expanding your collections and checking out more content relevant to the board's topic and genre of discussion.

I'm not telling you to go out and watch every single show from the early days of anime to the current year, but it would honestly help if some of you actually made an effort to watch not just the good stuff, but the bad stuff, or the unappealing stuff, and genuinely made the effort to explore the different periods, styles, and themes that exist in this genre.

From my very early posting days I used to do recommendation threads, not because I wanted to recommend my favorite shows but because it was painfully obvious that I was one of the few people who went out and watched the shows.

There's no reason to come to such a niche genre board if you're not going to make actual effort to explore. I was hoping that my recommendation threads would've helped, but the moment I stopped doing it, it just got a lot worse and felt like people stopped watching. Hell, there are people in this thread right now who have no idea how many episodes are in Zambot 3.

You're all so pessimistic about this genre but it's honestly a great one, filled with tons of amazing content spanning many decades, many mediums, and many content creators from around the world.

Don't seal yourself in a franchise and call it a day, I want you to go out and explore and see what this world has to offer you.

You are absolutely right. Especially about Rec threads improving post quality. /a/ and the absolute Pleb shits they've become due to not being allowed to say "hey check out this cool show" and their RIDICULOUSLY angry reactions to any implications of how hypocritical the spoon-feeding rule is Proof enough in itself.

I'm neither here nor there on IDs. /wooo/ seems to manage decently with them. Nobody really bothers paying attention to them unless the poster is chronically and amazingly making an ass of themselves, otherwise even noticing a ID is largely met with derision.
On the other hand while it may deter the lazy a dedicated shitposter requires measures like the time they banned half of Malaysia to stop Codename: V.

>>15347506
As if there's a single bit of difference between 420chan and here. When you post on 420chan you get a random ass silly name for the whole thread. It's literally no different from Thread id's aside from appearances

>>15347530
>Nobody really bothers paying attention to them unless the poster is chronically and amazingly making an ass of themselves


That's kinda why I'm against them. They don't solve anything and just give people a false feeling that the problem has been fixed instead of the mods actually doing their fucking job and cracking down on shitposting for once.

>>15347487
>but it will be less fun if there is effort involved.
More fun for us!
Heck, even make them have to walk to a /m/ PokeStop, a MechaStop, to get a new ID.

One of the problems is that newfags don't see themselves as shitposters. I bet some of the "ttgl is the best robot cartoon ever" thread creators are just that new, and that isn't something that can be filtered. There are plenty of "low-quality opinions" that could easily be classified as shitposting here. The only way to remove this is by creating a barrier to entrance, like a fee or login service, but that's a shitty idea anyway.

>>15347526

>>15347573

I'm not sure about the rest of the board but iirc on /wooo/ it flips names periodically, and the algorithm that picks it will have more than one at the same time.
So just because Big Daddy V had stupid and wrong opinions about what should be booked for this year's Anniversario on Monday morning doesn't mean it's the same Big Daddy V come Friday.

>>15347541
Yeah ultimately it's still up to the individual posters to not respond. Like I said I'm not particularly convinced either way about if they'd help a whole lot in the long run.

From a practical standpoint it would affect me some. I'll post anon for jokes I don't think are as good but want to get out anyway or are too dank with memery, stuff that I want to be recieved independent of any identity like when we pitch goofy collaborative ideas or if the subject matter drifts into super creepy lewd shit.

>A lot of you come to this board with no real dedication to the genre. You're divided into groups of people who just want to stay in their safe zones. Whether it's the people who just watch Gundam or the people who just watch Kamen Rider, or what ever else.

Don't even start with that hogwash. People can stay within their niches and they talk about what they like, that has no effect on the quality of the board. The real, tangible problem is shitpost spam. IDs are a practical step towards reducing that without increasing manual moderation. This has nothing to do with your personal genre idealism.

>>15347526
Honestly I agree, to an extent. /tv/ is the best, but also the worst.
The two extremes are too extreme, but the "elitist threads" are really quite good. Problem is there like three of them a week.

>>15347569
>>15347599
You say they won't help, but IDs already have a good track record with cleaning up boards. Believe it or not, they deter a large portion of shitposting and generally force the thread into maintaining discussion. IDs are only thread based and essentially unobtrusive. Some trips/names might lose some flexibility within a thread, but frankly trips/names were never supposed to be some permanent cross-thread moniker anyway.

>>15347693
Jack off. If you don't like a thread, hide it.

>>15347710
Why don't you go to a place where post ids are a thing then? No one wants you here.

How about meta posters go suckstart a shotgun.

>>15347495
Honestly, while I'm all for folks expanding their horizons, this is not the problem and it never has been.

The problem is that we've got people that, for whatever reason, are unable to just leave people alone. Perhaps some small part of it is that they don't understand why some topics they don't like are board relevant, but most of it is just that they're assholes.

>>15347495
Browsing /m/ has actually made me expand my horizons beyond just Gundam. Been super into Dominion, Appleseed, and Ghost in the Shell recently, I've watched Macross, Orguss, Souther Cross, Votoms, GaoGaiGar, Betterman, Bubblegum Crisis, Full Metal Panic!!, Burn Up! Ideon, Yukikaze, Mazinger Z, Zambot 3, Patlabor, Gunbuster, and so much more from threads I've seen here.

So many people in here are acting like toddlers scared their favorite toy is about to be taken away.

If you don't want your toy taken away, maybe stop doing the behavior that will get your toy taken away?

No one is making you make five "Zeta sucks" threads a day. Nobody is making you samefag a thread to force a meme. Just moderate yourself, and there won't be a need to people to ask for moderation. Just make one zeta sucks thread a day or just post in the existing one. Just post once a day in the leji thread. Only call a person spic once in a getter robo thread. Just tone things down a little.

You've been getting so carried away people are noticing. That is a sign your trolling isn't as good as you think it is. You aren't being subtle. You aren't even trying to be subtle. Just dial it back a little. Then people won't be screaming for mods. This isn't just your board, you need to share. If people are noticing your voice is drowning out theirs, cut back until you are invisible again. Screaming
>Shut up peons! You deserve my shitposting!
Isn't making your point. It's making theirs.

>>15347753
The people complaining are a bunch of whiny crybabies. If they don't like it here, they're free to fuck off. This isn't their board and they shouldn't impose thei shitty ideas on the rest of us.

>>15347710

/m/ is just too fucking slow to require IDs and most of our shitposts are OPs stating popular /m/ shows suck just so they can get replies.

It won't help with shit.

>>15347727
Agreed. Right now the problem isn't some kid by his lonesome sitting on the beach making a sand castle refusing to play with the other kids. It's people running around kicking down all the sandcastles for shits and giggles.

Now this is 4chan, there is always to going to be people kicking down the sandcastles. The problem is right now we are getting to the point there is more people kicking down sandcastles, than making them. They've ran out of sandcastles, so they are running around kicking every single piece of sand, and there are queues with massive lines around the few people left making sand castles.

The problem isn't that people aren't making varied enough sand castles.

>>15347753
I wouldn't be half as mad if you retards would just leave this shite on /qa/ where it can get ignored but you had to go and make a non /m/ thread on /m/ because you got called a faggot.

>>15346855
This whole site is fucking dead because of this shit, but we just can't leave.

>>15347773
And this is why IDs on /m/ is a terrible idea.

Some of our threads can be around for a week. Do we need a week of people bitching at someone for saying one stupid thing when they're trying to move on?

IDs work on /pol/ because it's such a fast board. They help clean up discussion and due to threads being archived in one to two hours it means discussion stays clean and concise.

/m/'s problem is a lack of moderation to delete shitty bait threads and posts that would still exist with IDs because they still exist on the boards with IDs.

>>15346363
You're a faggot who holds no true love in his heart for giant robots
It's great if someone wants to crack a joke, but do you seriously enjoy the lazy baiting that surrounds shows like Zeta or Leijis works?

Kek at this thread. If you think I'm gonna stop calling Lazy Matsumoto a hack because of some ids, you're greatly mistaken.

It's so funny seeing you guys losing your shit over some douche over at Japan. Do what you want, nothing's going to prevent me from posting my opinion.

>>15347793

>>15347799
If you like any of this you are cancer and should be banned. It's not funny. There is no irony, no wit, no wordplay, the subject matter itself isn't amusing, it's just cancer.

That would require mods to actually rangeban shitposters. And whatever proxies they turn to to get around the rangebans.

>>15347873
Yeah. Honestly, a week of half-decent moderation would sort /m/ out. But the janitor doesn't do anything.

18 for no huh. Guess we have more shitposters than I thought.

>>15347877
This board needs to be deleted for like two years and then brought back with heavy moderation. The shitposters will jopefully get bored by then. But if I see another "why was this show so bad?" On that re-opening day, I will fucking find that little shit, kill him, and post the pictures here. And then I go to work on the rest. The same for /o/ and its shitposters.

>>15347889
What can anyone possibly shitpost about cars?

>>15347887
You understand they can get around strawpoll's system right?

Just stop being retarded and jumping at bait every time it's dangled in front of you. That's the easiest way to clean the board up.

>>15347893
Trolls find a way.

>>15347894
If they could then they would have at least matched the votes for yes.

>>15347887
Shitposters probably don't give a shit cuz they can just get around the IP thing, it's samefaggers who give a shit cuz they don't have the know-how or commitment to figure it out.

>>15347893
Somehow, they have found a way. Two extremely dedicated autists have destroyed the board. You can't talk about almost any car with it not devolving to gtr vs z06, civic type r vs anything, manual vs automatic, ford gt, etc shitposting by the same two fucking autists. Gtr vs z06 is the most posted picture on /o/ by far I just a few short years. And that's just one file hash on archive sites. And they have never been banned, even for flooding the board with furry porn several dozen times. The mods know about it but refuse to rangeban them.

>>15347898
Haha, not him, but it's easy as shit. Like I've said, they're not the ones who give a shit.

>>15347889
/m/ is already as good as dead now that the mods and shitposters (possibly one and the same) banned/drove away all the translator trips who actually contributed to the community like KNG, TE, Magenta and Chen Gong.

>>15347953
Sorry anon. didn't expect a meltdown from my question. But /m/ really has gone down in quality. I had to go to /a/ for discussions about mech anime threads that just die in /m/.

I've been posting in Getter threads even after the "spic" showed up. In fact, had it not been for him, Getter wouldn't be as popular as it was today.

His raging against Getter really helped. I don't really mind him to be honest. He provides banter, we call him a faggot, he goes away, and comes back the next day, and the cycle repeats.

Why can't other people just do the same? Stop taking everything so seriously and just let it be. You fags act like it's the end of the world every time someone says anything negative about something or someone. Threads like these are a massive incentive to shitposting.

Yeah, I have the char variant on my computer, it's funny, but it was ridiculous on /o/. A dozen variants of it were used, so that's not the true post count of it. Looking through the image repost galleru, I can see bits of old /o/ and it makes me sad to see them gone, never to return. The silver Lexus crossover here? Parody of modern car design threads. Always funny. Fuckhuge grills, high roof height, somehow no ground clearance, ANGRY FATE, gunslit windows, all good for a laugh. That "know your car" pic here is parody with a bunch of ridiculous names for components.
>>15347956
This is the place to address this. There's nobody left on /o/ to talk to, pretty much.

>>15347961
Because we still had really good Getter discussion before the spic-trolling came along and some threads it totally drowns out discussion. It's disruptive and abrasive and unnecessary.

That's why.

>>15347987
>Because we still had really good Getter discussion
No, we had hug boxes. Arc was just freshly translated and everyone jumped on the train.

No one was allowed to say anything bad about Getter. Even as a big fan, I didn't like it and knew that someone was going to take advantage of this, and he did.

It's much better now. I don't have to worry about the spic because I know he'll post anyway. When you make them more important than they are (like this thread for example), you give them more incentive to continue the shitposting.

>>15347961

What I don't get is why people have to constantly force one another why they don't like /thing/ all the time to the point that liking/disliking /thing/ becomes a meme of it's own.

Seed/Seed Destiny aren't liked here because /m/ as a whole agreed that Destiny was plain garbage and was so bad it retroactively ruined Seed for people. You just can't get the same effect with something like Zeta Gundam or Gunbuster or Getter Robo when /m/ has loved them for over a decade. Trying to do the same with recently aired shows like Concrete Revolutio or Kuromukuro won't work all the time since shows like those had small viewerbases on /m/ that were self contained in their own threads that stayed up for weeks, while something like IBO easily goes through 10 threads a week because it gets so much discussion.

What happened to just taking things from shows and making them into memes instead of trying to make shows/creators into memes? The closest I can think of is Danposting from Ex-Aid.

Great, now we have poor attempts at copying this fag.

Some years ago when people kept contacting mods or whoever can make things move, they actually did, and made that sticky to say toku is allowed on /m/.

I have lost all hope about this board for a while and used the fact that I wanted to get away from Tengoku spoilers to leave. I rarely come here now but I think things can change. It will be a very hard battle though. And like some others pointed out over the time, I'm also convinced that at least one of these teens wasting their lives ruining the board, probably valvrager, is also a mod or at least used to be. Could think of it as a dumb conspiracy theory but it's the only way to explain how some people get banned for no reason, or how tripfags who brought in new things and translated things like TE got banned,

>>15350134
nice samefag TE

>>15350134
>and made that sticky to say toku is allowed on /m/
I like how you say this like it was a plus. Toku would have been a far better fit over on /jp/ or somewhere else.

>bitching about TE
He didn't get banned for translating things (which he didn't, he just made lazy summaries and insulted everyone who disagreed with him), he rightfully got banned for being an incessant shitposter.

Had you said Chen or someone you might have had a point. "B-b-but I contribute!" doesn't override all the shitposting.

Thanks for proving my point.

TE thought it was a mod but I'm pretty sure it was probably some autist using proxies to report all of humis posts for no reason. From what I've seen, most mods are dumb enough to just delete/ban anythig that's reported enough, especially in cases like /m/ where there probably isn't even a mod attached so it's some idiot who usually looks at /v/ or something handling the bans.

Mods who don't know shit about the board also means if you try reporting actual shitposters you get banned instead for "abusing the report function".

>>15350527
There is no /m/od nor is there a specific mod for any board. /m/ has one or two janitors. That said, I doubt any of the mods care much about /m/.

>Pretty bullshit that a single solitary cancerous thread gets attention and the board languishes.

No the mod started the thread, announced that toku is /m/ regardless of whether or not it has anything mechanical in it at all, and banned anyone who protested.

I'm still not sure to this day if that was really official or a rogue mod, but it's way too late to complain now anyway.

That was Moot, retard.

>>15350613
I'm talking about /sgg/, dude. The symphogear general. And I've never seen a mod start an /sgg/ thread.

Yeah, other than 4 threads being moved, the last time a mod modposted was last july and before that (other than moving threads) I'm not sure due to the gap between 2012 and 2015

Representative from /sgg/ here, part of the reason why a mod intervened was because the guy he was dealing is a legit loon. Basic gist of it is is he's some fucker from /a/ who goes apeshit on people if they're posting images of yuri pairings that aren't the pairings he supports calling them crack ships, claims they're some user he's been stalking for about 2-3 years now, claims that anyone who replies to him are the same person (even if there are multiple posts), and claims that user he's stalking has protection from a moderator (partially because his posts get deleted, which leads to him reposting the same posts over and over.

Just take a look here for what I'm talking about. http://desuarchive.org/m/search/text/Akemi/

>>15347530
/O/ has an ip range ban to get rid of alphonse. It only worked for a week. Though he gets more bans for porn in sfw boards than shitposting. Idk how well this will work for hard offenders.
>>15347573
Have you always went by your discord name here?

>>15351065
PHG's been a negative little raincloud for longer than discord was a thing and I keep hoping that some day he'll quit.

>>15347799
Zeta rager has been on /a/ just as long as /m/. Its pretty fucking weird.
>>15347923
Its drama caused shitposting though. Alphonse posted that shit non stop cause how much frosty and prez/o/ triggered him. Also guy must have a tiny fucking reaction folder from most of his post when he was a name fag.

>>15347873
But they sure as fuck have the time to rangeban all phones for the shitposting off topic retards on /a/
No wonder the mods hide themselves so much now

>>15347738
No old /k/ actually rejected /pol/ Bullshit

>>15350533
>specific mod for any board
Everyone who's paid attention for like 5 minutes is fully aware that there are mods who camp out on /a/ all day long. Sure Admins and mods say that but the modcat situation pretty MUH proved it's a lie because as soon as he tried to treat another board like /a/ he was banned & fired for overreach because apparently Hiro thinks the whole site is /v/ like the newfaggot he is

>>15351143
Mods can't do anything right.

>reporting disabled across an ISP range due to "abuse"

WHAT'S THE POINT OF BEING A MOD IF YOUR IDEA OF DOING YOUR JOB IS DOING NOTHING AT ALL

>>15351017

I'm just saying in that case it's a shitposter that's known to be posting on at least three boards, /m/ included. Add /a/ to that desuarchive search and you'll find posts from today from crack-kun.

I agree that mods have been silent for quite too long however. I remember someone in the plamo generals went to the IRC to complain about Snapshit-kun and the image spammer they had for a while, and they gave the excuse of just ignore him and he'll go away.

>>15351224
Did they tell them they've been doing it for well over a year now?

Why not use IRC to contact the mods?

>>15351284
It's 2017, if the mods want to talk to me they can get a discord like everyone else on the planet.

>A lot of you come to this board with no real dedication to the genre. You're divided into groups of people who just want to stay in their safe zones. Whether it's the people who just watch Gundam or the people who just watch Kamen Rider, or what ever else.
Irony, considering how much you lurk in the /srwg/ hugbox.

>Hell, there are people in this thread right now who have no idea how many episodes are in Zambot 3.
Oh noes, people don't know off the top of their head how many episodes one garbage series is. What a fucking tragedy.

If people want to learn more about other /m/ shit, then fine. If it doesn't catch their interest then why should they NEED to? Why to I need to subject myself to a bunch of silly Asian men in spandex just so I can post about a couple of robot shows I like? That's some patronizing bullshit right there.

The problem isn't where people are posting, but what they are posting. And what everyone is posting these days, yourself included, is pure shit.

Why don't you guys just do what moot recommended years ago and just ignore the shitposting?

>>15352437
Because he's been at it non-stop for over a year now. Ignoring him doesn't work. >>15351917
You don't get to define what the board is about, shitposter.

>>15352491
From all the years I've been here, I've never seen any kind of confrontation work. Butting heads with a shitposter just makes you covered in shit too.

This thread is proof enough that we should start using post IDs

I'm on to you. All of the last votes for an entire day have been no.

>>15353513
Taking it from 22% to 28% doesn't really seem like it. Remember, the guy is samefagging this much because he's not technical enough or too lazy to go around IPs.

>>15352491
>telling people to stop being patronizing faggots who think they know better than everyone and aren't actually solving the problem is shitposting
Fuck off back to wherever you came form, because it sure as fuck wasn't /m/.

>>15346116
I propose burning this board to the ground and letting the appropriate bits merge with their respective, actually moderated boards (animu robots in /a/, tokushit and godzilla stuff in /jp/).

>>15354643
I propose shoving a rocket punch up your ass

>>15346440

Hate to say, but without shitposting the board is practically dead. Sometimes a discussion start only in response to a shitpost.

>>15355250
Both of you guys don't know what you're talking about. Thread IDs don't follow you for life, and they don't effect shitposting, unless you reply to yourself to start a shitfest or reply as multiple people. And that's only within individual threads.

>>15354643
I propose doing nothing because the board is fine.

If people don't like it here, anime forums exist.

Didn't actually read the post you quoted until after I'd already replied, but... that guy is the fucking worse. Fuck that guy.

>naysayers in the face of proof
It's pure insanity to say that IDs won't improve the situation. They've been implemented elsewhere and have worked tremendously. This is fact. You can try to project your feelings all you want, but you're just being an illogical twat.

D-do Char threads count as shitposting?

>>15355383
>I can see why you're so against thread id
A terrible idea for such a slow board.

>>15356204
So? You can just ignore them. It's your goddamn fault that you engage with shitposters.

>>15357778
Yeah, just the vast majority wants to demo IDs.

>>15357786

You only say that because you're a moron. Ask the toku half if the board is "too slow" and they'd laugh at your dumb ass. Just because anime doesn't always have big releases doesn't mean other parts don't get multiple releases per week. If they weren't forced into generals, they'd swamp the board.

I don't understand how IDs are going to help when some of the worst shitposters are/were tripfags.

The problem is that mods don't fucking do anything about shitposters and even warn/ban people when they report shitposting.

Can someone point out what threads in the catalog RIGHT NOW constitute as shitposting?
I'm curious as to how this definition differs across anons

>>15357876
i don't visit toku so they're irrelevant

>>15357938
Exactly, you are a moron that doesn't know shit about the board. Thanks for proving the point.

Topics like Leiji Matsumoto, Go Nagai, Getter Robo, Zeta Gundam, and soon 0080 have become impossible to talk about legitimately.
These topic repeatedly have threads designed to bait people into responding with shit posts.
I'm saying we need to squash any negative comments about a topic, but things like "Lazy Matsumoto" or "spic" are buzz words that have ended real discussion.
