3 Rules:

1) Change the catalog settings to “Creation date” instead of bump order.

Every fast board on 4chan goes to shit, and usually for the same reason: 4chan rewards post frequency rather than post quality. If an OP takes longer to read or requires more thoughtful replies, it tends towards the back of the catalog, while short, provocative threads which prompt single words or image dumps do relatively well. Take /b/ as an extreme example.

/pol/ is currently so fast that new threads wind up in the doldrums in the back of the catalog after about thirty seconds. That's a very short window, and so threads which survive have to be pedestrian and easy for everybody to reply to. Threads which demand thoughtful posts or expertise disappear quickly. Sorting by creation date gives new threads a larger reply window and makes it much easier to find good content.

2) Filter and ignore bad threads

You see black dick every day because retards bump race bait threads by calling them part of a Jewish conspiracy. Don't reward shitty content by giving it public attention, regardless of who it's coming from.

3) Bump good threads

If an OP clearly had effort put into it, or could turn into something worth reading, bump it when it's at the back of the catalog. Even if you have nothing to say, if something's on page 8 it will probably die, so your bump can't hurt. Keeping good threads alive is the best way to save /pol/. Also, effortposters will feel more much more appreciated if their thread is bumped than if it dies empty.

Please bump this thread so more people will see it. Also, save it to repost later when it isn't up in the catalog. I understand that there's a rule on the number of meta threads, but rules exist to protect communities rather than punish them. If a large number of /pol/acks read this thread, board quality could improve considerably.
