>>17002478
Mrcummy might be a shitstain, but he doesn't actively work to shit up the board as far as I know. Banning him would be a bit extreme. Banning the legitimate shitposters should be common sense.

The actual problem is, some of us grew up with an /o/ that was usefull and respectfull, self sustainable and didn't really need moderation.
People would lurk, memes where kinda funny, shitposting was regarded as shiposting not a war between [insert brand/country/transmission/engine/shilling] here, and therefor mostly ignored.

Times have changed, we are living in 4 chan's america and therefor, unfortunately, 4 chan's western world.

tl;dr: we are getting old.

>>17002520
Part of the problem is the turbo-autists doing the shilling will buddy up for several thousand posts in a matter of hours. Ignoring them doesn't fix the problem.

>>17002525
Yeah, it really is a reflection of the state this board is in.
The problem is, the kids are outweighing the adults in numbers and i have no idea what we could do about it.

Iv'e been thinking about having country flag's and ID's like on some boards, could be an improvement or only make the 'country wars' worse. Maybe worth a try though

>>17002520
>The actual problem is, some of us grew up with an /o/ that was usefull and respectfull, self sustainable and didn't really need moderation.

Lots of youngsters are brought up to be respectable and have a healthy attitude. They post nicely. But as you noted, there is a cultural change going on with society and that is reflected in the internet as well. A lot of people are brought up to be selfish and take all they can and give as little back as possible because that is the best "bargain" in terms of posting. We also get more kids who lazied their way through elementary, middle (junior high), and high school. As a result, those students hate "know it alls" and will attack those posters.

Mrcummy is a contributive insightful poster. It is "alphonse" that posts lots of spam threads to force the good slow threads off the board. At times in the past, he had bursts of posts that were quite noticeable. He would never get away with spamming on wikipedia because the staff there calls on the FBI to slap down offensive posters with severe penalties from the hacking laws.

>tl;dr: we are getting old.
It's not just that. Internet society is just getting more disrespectful. We used to have trolls on wikipedia very cleverly changing numbers slightly to make them wrong. Those users would be anonymous using wifi from public areas. However, the FBI still caught them because they can request security cam footage for those time periods and then do facial recognition matching to the database for a name. The wifi N servers also obtain more data from the clients as well.

>>17002531
>Unironically ban SELFISH & ASSHOLE americans and things will improve 10x. You can't ban all Murricans cuz the whole lot of them form the contributive backbone of 4chan. They not only make constructive posts, but they "donate" to 4chan by buying the 4chan Passes which enable 4chan to stay alive.

>>17002990
>there is a cultural change going on with society and that is reflected in the internet as well.
That is indeed the core business.
To think that the bastion of free and open minded people, often anarcho-left or right outcasts of society has become so mainstream is just a painful conclusion.
Memes that used to be funny when people took them literally are actually unironically being taken literally now, in such a way it has become the norm.
Now, the old garde of anons that remains on the interests boards because it still is a unique way of browsing the internet, is being fed up by this new generations
edgyness.
My fear is though, this edgyness is there to stay.
People who refuse to read or educate themselves because everything they might ever need to know is accessible online, but what useful information can be found on /o/ if people don't do their research? I mean, check the catalog, open one of the shitty threads and look at the bullshit being posted, it's fucking cringe worthy man!

We should make in a bannable offense (temporary ban, a few hours at most) to respond to obvious, overused bait. Should shut down the GM vs. Everyone that Alphonse feeds on

>>17003709
Unironically yes. Any cultural developments after 2009 should be banned. Strict adherence to the sites rules should be enforced. Offtopic, meta, and memes should be heavily cracked down upon.

>>17003709
Board culture is fine but Jesus Christ is it taken too far here. If the shitposting and memes are preventing any actual discussion, it should be cut down on. Meme responses are getting so awful that there is hardly a way to get an actual productive discussion, even worse is that anyone with any actually useful information gets drowned out or doesn't even post because they think it's futile

>>17003766
Do you actually know anything about cars besides memes?

IP-ban anyone who visits /pol/ and this site would improve dramatically.

And auto-ban anyone who posts memes, frogs and obvious bait.
I already hide all frogposts and meme images without reading them, and it improves the post quality tenfold.

It has gotten far worse than the old days. The mods don't care even a little anymore, and shitposting has vastly increased unchecked since the little fuckers learned that.

>>17005502
I remember actual discussion and generally more informed posters as well as people actually taking the time to lurk. I guess it's like our version of endless September.

Well that's the thing, if the user base is less conceited, more curious and more informed, they generally won't have a reason to bother with the bait when the turboautists post it- Then they're just pissing in the wind because everyone else is talking about other stuff and shit bait threads get bumped off.

Cool to see the community bickering with each other over nonsense. I have recently (~20 days ago) started lurking this board and now am actively commenting, haven't started any new threads, but I would say 50% of my posts are dedicated to actual discussion of autos and 50% replying to memes and jerking in in the /osg/ thread over some stickers. Take this data as you like.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by abnormal social behavior and failure to understand what is real.[2] Common symptoms include false beliefs, unclear or confused thinking, hearing voices that others do not hear, reduced social engagement and emotional expression, and a lack of motivation.[2][3] People with schizophrenia often have additional mental-health problems such as anxiety disorders, major depressive illness, or substance-use disorders.[7] Symptoms typically come on gradually, begin in young adulthood, and last a long time.[3][8]

Obvious bait threads and derail posts should be removed, basically banning the gtr vs Corvette posts would clear up the board quite a bit. The meme is stale anyway and really wasn't very interesting in the first place to anyone who actually thought about the comparison for 2 seconds.

I wish we had more project posts here, but it turns out most everyone here is just a poorfag bench racer like myself.

In reality I think it's hard to moderate this board, especially going too much since /o/ is such a slow moving board. You almost have to allow some shitposting or else three board would be dead.
