Why are "Sad Panda Threads" allowed on /a/? These

It's up to the users to be responsible and not post porn links and discuss porn on any blue board. But this is 4can, so we already know many of them won't act responsibly.

The thing is /h/ and /e/ etc were made essentially as imagedump boards rather than discussion. Despite the topic people don't tend to actually post /h/ stuff itself (images) in those threads at all.

If people just dumped porn in those threads it would make sense to go "isn't this just /h/, take it there" but it's not so black and white in reality.

>>470487
There's no rule saying that discussion isn't allowed on /h/. I'm browsing the board right now and I see a lot of discussion.

it's literally board culture guy

>>470504
>board culture
>it's always OK when it's preestablished and posted by enough people frequently
Then what happened to /v/'s "culture"? What about platform wars? Where is the MLP spam? I want deep sea threads that have nothing to do with video games. Gamer food threads are totally in line with the culture. What about that GamerGate? How about Anita Sarkeesian?

>>470487
They can't even into image dumping since there are lots of lowres images posted

>>470509
you're like the exact reason /a/ hates /v/

>>470544
I was joking. There are few things I hate more than "board culture".

>>470546
I mean I kinda find it silly too but this is just one of those things man, like it's never gonna go away even if a number of legitimate /a/ users find it obnoxious/'clogging up the catalog'/what have you

>>470549
/a/ can keep it to themselves exclusively. They can linger in their lair of chosen debauchery if they desperately wish to keep it that way.

>>470478
because they are technically not linking to anything naughty unless you have exhentai access.

>>470556
Which many of those users already have. And it still doesn't change the fact that they will start to discuss the content of those links on /a/. The idea of removing porn is not just about the images, it's the way people start to think when talking about it. The fact of the matter is that they're on a blue board jerking each other off and talking about porn. Of course for saying this someone is going to respond to me calling me gay, faggot, SJW, or whatever insult they feel like throwing at me today because board culture is oh so precious, even when there are multiple boards specifically made for animated porn AND the discussion of it. /a/ is the most spoiled board on this website due to how many boards are directly tied to it, yet a few people will try their hardest to keep everything they possibly can on /a/.

>>470560
Most people in /a/ only seem to care about the NSFW rule in so far as it stops /a/ from being a porn dump.

You can call /a/ a bunch of spoiled princess fags, but you can't make them care.

>>470562
>spoiled
Yes.
>princess fags
No, they're closer to pretentious teenagers with a poorly supported holier-than-thou air about them, or people who never grew out of that kind of attitude. Oh wait, maybe they are princesses! As long as they keep this NSFW habit on their board and their board alone, I won't care too much. Even if it goes nowhere, I'm still going to knock a head or two if they show up on board I actually use. Someone has to remind them that there are other kinds of people on 4chan.

>>470580
To be completely honest bromigo, that's probably for the best. The only people who hate /a/ so much that they would come here and bitch probably aren't old regulars. /a/ is a very insulated board done through heavy self moderation. The fact that sad panda threads still exist there is proof they belong.

>>470590
Gay ERP threads also exist when the mods don't crack down on them, do they belong too?

>>470595
Only one man can stop them

>>470590
I still won't believe they belong on /a/ until the rules change. It makes no sense when it goes against a global rule and isn't allowed through a board rule.

>>470478

Please stop browsing /a/.

>>470509
>Then what happened to /v/'s "culture"?

Reddit mods removed it all so they could circlejerk about how great Nintendo is.

>>470602
You should take your autism to the /q/ archives, where you can find like-minded people

>>470595
Literally been around for years with the same pic and everything so yes, they do belong.

>>470602
I guess that's alright but this place has never been sticklers for rules. It's like a speed limit. You can go 10-20 mph over without cops bugging you as long as you aren't disrupting traffic or acting like an idiot in general.

Again to both of you, /a/ is heavily self moderated. If the users didn't want these threads they would leave them alone or tell them to fuck off, and if a mod saw harm in it the thread would be gone.

It's not lewd. It's just this and then the text will always say "It's time". I honestly didn't even know it was gay shit for a good year or so. I just ignored it because it looked stupid.

>>470628
When I said gay ERP I meant gay ERP, not discussion of homo series. There's a difference.

>>470629
My b then dawg. I thought you were referring to these homos. They all look alike.

Cry more, faggot.

>>470624

I wouldn't call self-shitposting, self-moderation. By that logic, GETs should be allowed and Dubs should come back.

>>470634
>GETs should be allowed and Dubs should come back.
Better than Naruto threads.

>>470634
Shit post? Wanna point me to shit posts that aren't being shit on endlessly or completely ignored? Because I'm only half believing that you could find a single one from the entire catalog. I'm not saying there's not a hive-mind aspect to it, or that it's perfect. But the user base knows what it want and how they want their section of community run. It's almost like a Sharia zone in the UK.

>>470639
Never paid attention to Naruto, but I do know that some fanbases are usually seen as a huge annoying joke, and usually for good reasons.

>>470641
>It's almost like a Sharia zone in the UK.
Special zones where rules they don't like, don't apply? Yeah, that sounds like /a/. Anyway, the point is, is that not just reporting them is wrong. You reply to those threads and they win.

I'm sure I missed a few. Oh yes, I'm sure that /a/ is a much better place now that /v/ actually had a metric assload of people banned from it in the last couple of months. Wanna guess where a good number of them went? I don't wish ill on /a/, a lot of those people don't even deserve to be on 4chan at all.

>>470663
Alright so this is the breakdown:

>>138721796
>>138743847
Board culture

>>138756909
>>138759231
>>138745512
Self Moderated.

I'll concede that you found some that out of context seem like shitposts. Unfortunately, you just don't have the context to get it. Maybe you should lurk more if you want to be part of the community? And if you don't want to be part of that community why keep going back?

>>470663
Most of those you linked should be on relocated to /c/ or /e/. Umaruspam should be banned

>>470671
I dun goofed, but I'm sure you can figure it out. My b.

>>470673
The fact is that /a/ is a mess, and I partially blame /v/ users for it. Oh yes, /v/ has had a massive number of people banned from it in the last few months, and you just know a lot of them went to /a/.

>>470682
They probably just left. /v/ is by far the most trafficked board especially by people not native to 4chan. The ones who weren't banned though? You're probably right. This just goes back to self-moderation to weed out the casuals though.

>>470504
I browsed /a/ a lot durin 2008-2009 and I can tell you that these threads weren't around back then. It may be board culture now, but it hasn't always been like that.

>>470556
It's off-topic, that's the issue here.
There's a board for hentai, use that. This is like the Indians and their fear of toilets, don't shit in the streets when you have a damn toilet.

>>470478
/h/ primary purpose is for image dumping, not discussion. H-manga is still manga as well and /h/ is also shit. No one fucking cares, /q/tard.

>b-but b-blue board
Yea and 4chan isn't sfw at all. The blue boards are only to stop porn dumping, not stop nsfw discussion. Deal with it and stop bitching about boards you don't even use. Next you'll tell me the fact /a/ can post nsfw images makes them spoiled despite the fact it was allowed for actual reasons and not just we want to dump porn like the other boards want to do.

>>470707
Like I said earlier: There's no rule saying that discussion isn't allowed on /h/. Just visit the board right now and you'll see a lot of discussion.

As an example:
>>>4218749

>>470711
That means nothing, anon. The primary purpose of the board is still image dumping not discussion. On-top of that no one wants to go to /h/ with its 12 year old userbase who don't even know what google is.

Boards aren't a end all 'everything about this topic MUST BE discussed in here'. That is called a containment board and the only one on the site is /mlp/.

>>470711
whoops
>>>/h/4218749

Seriously, /h/ is not a sterile imagedump board. A lot of discussion is going on there, and sad panda threads would fit in perfectly there.

>>470686
>self-moderation
I really hate the use of that word when talking about /a/. It's just shitposting and trolling in threads that don't belong, and /a/ will STILL post like crazy in a thread that isn't even pretending it shouldn't be on /e/. No, /a/ is just as bad as /v/ when it comes to self moderation. It's shitposting and caving to trolls. They give those threads the very attention they ask for.

Yes, by replying to a thread that was made for the sole purpose of getting any replies whatsoever, we will surely win against the idiots who make those threads.

You are giving those people exactly what they want. The knowledge of what trolls do and why they do it has been lost entirely, hasn't it? You loose when you reply to those threads at all. What are you supposed to do? Report it.

>>470718
>They give those threads the very attention they ask for.
Because they like them.

Side-question, what's your opinion of [s4s]?

>>470732
Of course they like them, but those threads still shouldn't be on that board. They shouldn't take a dump on their own board by giving in to the people who make those threads. They're doing what they shouldn't do if they want /a/ to be a better board. /e/, /h/, /d/, /y/, /u/, /jp/, /c/, /cm/, and /w/- all of these boards are for anime fans to use, yet many of the more vocal users try to force everything they possibly can onto /a/. It makes no sense for these people to say anime is important on 4chan, but at the same time try to ignore many boards that were made for anime fans. It's almost like these select people are trying to make less anime boards useful and to have them deleted, thus making the presence of anime of 4chan less dominant.

[s4s]?
I don't really go there. I might look at it once in a blue moon to remind myself of what it's like. Boards that encourage people to act like they can't tie their shoelaces aren't my cup of tea.

>>470478
/a/ userbase has the same syndrome as /v/ and /sp/ and I assume/pol/: They want to discuss every topic with their "bros" on one board.
>>470716
I would argue /h/ is excellent at both disucssions and pure image dumps, except that one tme with the liru general.

>>471003
>I would argue /h/ is excellent at both disucssions
No it isn't. It has a horrible userbase and if the sad panda thread was on /h/, 90% of the thread would be 'how do i get past the sad panda'. There are a few reasons why it is on /a/ that isn't just wanting to talk with my 'bros'.

>>471006
Then put a readme in the topic you child. Or how about you link to g.e-hentai instead?

>>471010
>he thinks stickies and ops do fucking anything
Also, no one is going to link to g.e-h instead of the panda just because of brain dead retards. You are complaining about something when there isn't a problem. Topics aren't completely fucking board separated and some can be on more than a single board. H-manga is still manga and the blue board is mainly there to stop porn dumping, not nsfw discussion. The thread is technically not actually breaking the rules unless you go nazi modding. Although that is /v/ermin logic somewhat, the panda threads were mod approved because there is nothing wrong or harmful about them being on /a/ and people wanted to do it on /a/ and not go to another board that shares a userbase similar to shit like /gif/.

>>470493
But both /h/ and /d/ would ban people for having discussions.

>>471003
>They want to discuss every topic with their "bros" on one board.
That is exactly it.

>>471013
The fact that you think the discussion of porn on a blue board is perfectly reasonable just because you don't like the board it's actually supposed to go on, only makes >>471003 look twice as right about /a/. You're much more like "/v/ermin" than you think you are.

>>471039
Then there are an awful lot of people on /h/ that need to be banned.

>>470608
Fucking mods don't even read the rules of the board.

>>471113
I'm gonna go on record and say that 99.99% of /v/ posters deserve to be banned right now for some reason or another.

>>471115
>99.99%
If we want to go all the way with that level of extremes, we should just be honest about most people on 4chan here and admit that almost everyone here deserves to be banned for something. We've all made at least one post that has been overlooked by a Mod or Janitor.

>>471123
I don't wanna go all the way though. /v/ has over a million people and I think that at least 10,000 of them are great.

Many of you /a/utists complain about generals, guess what? This is a general, it goes on forever.

>>471006
>'how do i get past the sad panda'
This is another problem with these threads. The links goes to a place that you can't access without doing god knows what. creating an account, installing an add-on, clearing cookies... You have to jump through hoops to access this shit. Just another reason why these threads are bad.

>>471155
>This is a general, it goes on forever.
No it doesn't. Sad Panda threads aren't up all the time. Sometimes we go several days without one. They've only become relatively frequent in the last couple years because of Wani and Fakku drama. For a long stretch we had several threads that were mostly just people arguing about Fakku shit with hardly any link posting.

>The links goes to a place that you can't access without doing god knows what
Oh that explains your butthurt, you're just a moron who can't get past the panda. Move along, nothing to see here.

>>471155
>I'm a literal retard who can't get past the retard filter so these threads are bad

>>471130
I sometimes let the vocal minority/frequent bad posters disturb me. It doesn't help that I'm such a frequent user of /v/ myself, so I end up seeing a lot of the same few people I really can't stand. I see them many hours a day, every day, for months and years. I think I have a decent idea of what exactly the moderation team has to deal with, at least on /v/.

I've noticed that one of the better ways of getting around the many annoyances here is to be in a relaxed or zen-like state of mind. But because I'm still human, a few select things will always distress/bother me without fail. Everyone has something they can't stand, if they say they don't, they're lying or haven't discovered it yet.

>>471248
In my opinion the best way to not give a shit about 4chan is to make 4chan not the only website you go to. If 4chan disappeared today I'd just go to lainchan or tgchan or 7chan or reddit.

>>470478
>/a/ allows porn threads and waifu circleerking
>actress and porn threads on /tv/ get deleted on sight

IT'S NOT FAIR

>>470718
I agree that what you say is true. However, it is also true that "ignore it and it'll go away" simply does NOT work. In fact, it can actually make things worse.

While we're dutifully ignoring rule-breaking threads, newcomers, and those that may not visit the board frequently, will see them and assume that it's not only accepted, but SOP, and repeat the behavior. Others will them come and see even more, and so on and so forth. At least if there are a slew of people telling OPs of rule-breaking threads to go fuck off and die or whatever, only people who actually are trolls will repeat it.

No, it's not really a good solution. "Self moderation" is bullshit; only actual mods can perform actual moderation. But the whole point of this thread is that they're applying the rules inconsistently at best.

>>471264
I have no idea where I would go if 4chan closed its doors tomorrow. I'd probably be really upset and lost for a long while because I actually like a few frequent posters I see here. Finding and moving to another website I would feel comfortable on would take a while, and becoming comfortable enough to post there would take a very long time (I almost exclusively lurked for 4 years before I started posting about 2 years ago). This place is a very happy and very sad addiction of mine. I have very bad social anxiety, so this addiction is also the easiest way for me to communicate with people, or at least watch people communicate with each other almost in real time.

Sorry about this blogpost, but hey, this is the Question & Answer board, and there are no board rules for /qa/. I answered your post with my thoughts.

>>471271
>At least if there are a slew of people telling OPs of rule-breaking threads to go fuck off and die or whatever
The best way to post in a sitposting thread is to make the people posting in it feel like they did something wrong. But just telling someone to leave and/or die isn't good enough to show the new users what to do. Telling someone to die is not telling them what they did wrong. You need to tell then why they should report those threads and posts. Drop a link to the rules page once in a while. Not for the people who make the threads and purposefully make bad posts, but so new users can see what the rules are. Discourage users from using the threads how the OP might want them to. Discuss the rules in them and why those rules might be in place. You can usually bait the bad users into trying to justify that thread on that board. You're questioning and threatening the very existence of a thread they like, and who wouldn't try to defend a thread they like? If there's going to be a shitposting thread up for a while, why not turn it into something somewhat useful by showing more people the rules?

>The fact that you think the discussion of porn on a blue board is perfectly reasonable just because you don't like the board it's actually supposed to go on, only makes >>471003 look twice as right about /a/
No, you only think this because you are a fucking idiot treating 4chan like every other site on the internet and not realizing the entire site is fucking nsfw. The blue boards were always about stopping porn dumps, nothing else. moot was always vocal about this. The levels it is enforced varies from board. You are literally upset and calling /a/ a bunch of babies because it had a mod that actually gave a fuck about the community and tried to make it good and not some shithple like what you want. Panda threads are on /a/ because they ARE board related.

>>471155
>This is a general, it goes on forever.
Yea and most people would be ok if it was always up and instead once every few days.

>The links goes to a place that you can't access without doing god knows what. creating an account, installing an add-on, clearing cookies... You have to jump through hoops to access this shit.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA It's not our fault you are fucking stupid and can't get past the simplest idiot filter in existence.

>>471332
Because you don't like the board it's actually supposed to go on.
I'm tired, and I'm just going to tell you your reasoning is awful, and everyone else knows it, and the only reason mods do nothing about it on the princess board is because the people like you will throw the single biggest ban evading, shitposting bitchfit for a year + 75 days. You aren't worth watching so closely for that long, and you seem to like the people that kind of content invites, so you're allowed to sit and rot in your crumbling castle that you pretend isn't built out of your own feces. /a/ is a board that falls apart at it's own bidding- if your claims of what /a/ as a whole really wants are true.

Your reasoning always ends in simple insults, and I'm even going to go as far as believing even the mods and janitors that have see the conversations you hold regarding this topic will believe you to be an unreliable and poor interpreter of the rules, because what you defend goes directly against the global rules that are relatively properly enforced on literally every other blue board with known active moderation. You know it, and so does everyone else. You are not fooling anyone.

>>471220
I don't want to jump through hoops just to access this shit.
It's a retard filter, yes. It filters out the retards who are prepared to do all that shit. The site owner is laughing at you and so am I.

I can get the same content on nhentai or hitomi.la so why bother with this bullshit.

>>471344
Welcome to fucking 4chan, topics aren't board restricted. Discussion of manga belongs on /a/, even if it is nsfw. You are just not allowed to post images for shit that is considered porn by the elevens.

> and the only reason mods do nothing about it on the princess board is because the people like you will throw the single biggest ban evading, shitposting bitchfit for a year + 75 days
Funny, because that isn't even the reason it was approved. One of the reasons it was, was because the mod actually liked the thread and actually gave a shit about /a/. The /a/ mods were always just at good at enforcing rules and beating up ban evaders as /a/ was at overthrowing mod decisions.

You are really desperate to make it seem like /a/ is wallowing in its own shit by allowing panda threads. You haven't provided anything for this. You also are saying my reasoning is nothing but insults, but, you should probably reread your entire post and have a case of self-reflection.

But, this arguement is pointless. Why? Because you don't even fucking use the board and don't even know anything about it and are one of those idiots who have just went

That's because 4chan moderation goes both ways. If it is only the mods who care, the users will simply out shitpost them. If it is only the users who care, the mods will out ban them. Both partys need to care for it to work and to have a quality board, unless you are /jp/ in which case they managed to abuse sage in a very effective way for a while. No one claims /a/ did all the work, but /a/nons did a good fucking chunk of it. Telling retards to fuck off, reporting people, sage bombing shit threads, etc etc. Mods just banned people and enforced the rules and board culture.

Keep being upset your board is complete dogshit because neither side cares about it.

>>471391
>You literally get spoiled by mods

No, they just think they're spoiled, but they're not. /a/ is garbage, just look at the threads there. Half the threads could be deleted right now because of low quality/off topic.
They are not spoiled, they are neglected.

You're talking about board culture but /jp/s board culture was ruined by the stop of visible sage, and the new moderator which bans anything he deems to be shitposting, and he's clearly not from the board. Neither are you.

/jp/ is a ghost town now with nothing but boring posts because of the happenings the last 2 years or so.

4chan nsfw doesn't follow the traditional standards and is its own thing. There is a reason it is in quotation marks. If the large bulk of text was apart of the nsfw rules I couldn't call you a fucking stupid nigger cunt shit fuck, now could I. Maybe you should learn more about the site other than reading the rules and faq and say 'yes this is the site' without even knowing most of the rules are fucking irrelevant and most aren't even written.

>3 year old screencap that tells us the rules are wrong
>There is a reason it is in quotation marks.
There is. It's literally, directly quoting the FAQ page.
http://www.4chan.org/faq#worksafe
It's up to the Mods and Janitors to decide whether they feel it's worth it or not to delete a post. They choose to at least delete most of the blatant stuff on all blue boards that are known to be actively moderated other than /a/. There's obviously a limit to how far they let NSFW content bend, and that limit is hardly in place on /a/. Get the hint that /a/ isn't worth the inevitable samefagging, ban evading, bitchfit some people on /a/ would throw? /a/ is nothing more than very spoiled children that the parents do not want to deal with, so they let them run around doing nearly anything they want. That makes /a/ on its own feel far more important than it really is. 4chan is a big website and /a/ is not where most of the population is, there are other boards that are much bigger and even like to cause legal issues for this website. /a/ isn't worth the effort to clean up.

>most of the rules are fucking irrelevant
And this is yet another reason why no one will ever believe you. People are always complaining about getting banned for breaking any rules on all boards OTHER than /a/. Can you not see how something is out of place when the vast majority of this website is run one way, yet /a/ dances in a pit of disregard? I'm sorry, but /a/ is very obviously in the wrong here.

Because they're discussing manga and there's no porn being posted in the threads. Anyone who says some other dumbass excuse is wrong.

>>472318
>It's literally, directly quoting the FAQ page.
No it isn't. The FAQ page has never had any bearing on anything. Stop grasping at straws.

>haha no /a/ is just spoiled children thats all this is aha
No, you just have clearly never used /a/ and have no idea what the fuck you are just talking about. The only reason /a/ got treated differently was because it had mods who actually gave a fuck about it and its community so they went out of their way to try and make it good and fun. What you are saying has never been the case and is retarded crossborder garbage.

>so they let them run around doing nearly anything they want
See, this is how I know you have no fucking idea what you are talking about. /a/ doesn't get to do what it fucking wants. The creation of /jp/ directly fucking proves that wrong. This is stupid shit spouted by people who don't even use the board, see the board running differently or /a/nons fighting against the mods about the rules to have them in their favour and just go "those fucking spoiled manchildren how dare they be ran differently, care about their board and not have the same shithole as me. yes the mods dont like the board and they are just simply spoiled children no one wants to deal with. yes. this is the case."

Congrats on wasting your time typing up the post when you don't even know what you are fucking talking about. The rules aren't a static thing, can change and the way they are enforced variates board to board. /a/ has looser nsfw rules because of the board topic and the common occurrence of nsfw content. The nsfw rule has never had anything to do with making boards sfw and has always been about stopping porn dumping and moot has always been really fucking vocal about not liking pron.

>>472320
Other than the images being hosted on 4chan, what''s the difference between a thread sharing porn and a thread sharing porn? Keep in mind that this is all on a SFW board. The subject material is blatantly NSFW, and at the end of the day, that's what actually matters.

>>472329
You just sound mad and in denial now.

Also, have fun knowing porn attracts new/underaged/dumb users more than most other things on 4chan. Are we going to pretend The Fappening didn't happen now?

Lurk moar you fucking retard.

Sad Panda threads have been /a/ for a fucking long time and have yet to actually attract any negative elements from it. In-fact, all the bad elements are too fucking stupid to even get into the panda. Stop grasping at straws to try and give yourself some sort of moral highground for a board you don't even use or know anything about. The fact you think the rules are meant to be taking completely literally only shows you are the negative element. You are probably one of those '4chan is for super serious' retard as well completely missing the point.

The only one who is mad and in denial is you because a board and community is its own thing and not catering to you.

Lurk moar, 4chan isn't a traditional forum and the setup isn't the same as whatever shithole you came from. The rules aren't literal and variate from board to board and the application of nsfw is much different to the traditional way. You would already know this if you lurked the fuck moar instead of jumping in and thinking the place runs the same as everywhere else.

I'm not even going to read your post because I know it's the exact same logical fallacy and pointless insults that your other posts contain. If that mod was correct 3 years ago, the rules probably would have been changed by now. Maybe you should get a better grip on the reality of /a/'s situation. /a/ is not worth the bitchfit they would throw if they stepped in to change things, and taking moderation attention from other, bigger and more (legally) troublesome boards isn't worth it as well. It's just like /v/, except it isn't watched as closely because /a/ is smaller and doesn't do stuff that could put 4chan into legal trouble every other month.

>>472361
Yes, but not all doujins are SFW. It's up to the users to not post NSFW, but we all know they aren't responsible enough to do that. And the damn website is called exhentai.

>>472363
Sharing hentai/ecchi on the SFW anime and manga board instead of the hentai or ecchi boards makes no sense at all. It's a disorganized mess made by a load of people who hate their own sister boards that were made for the very content they wish to post and discuss. It's illogical, and frankly, very childish.

>>472365
>It's up to the users to not post NSFW
Specifically referring to uploaded images, not discussion.
>And the damn website is called exhentai.

>ecchi
Look, you're retarded. Ecchi is not "NSFW".
>makes no sense at all
/h/ is an nsfw image dumping board. It's also specifically not a discussion board. /a/ is literally the only other board that manga, even pornographic, can be discussed on.

Kill yourself, you fucking retard. You don't even know anything about the site you on. I'm fucking glad you don't use /a/ since you are one of those 4CHAN IS SUPER FUCKING SERIOUS GOTTA BE SERIOUS GOTTA BE TOUGH NO ACTUAL FUN ALLOWED. Just got to fucking, idk, fucking reddit or somethingawful if you hate how the site is ran so much, you fucking baby /q/tard.

>If that mod was correct 3 years ago, the rules probably would have been changed by now.
No they wouldn't. Most of the rules aren't even written and require you to fucking lurk to even know they exist. eg. talking shit about yotsuba is a guaranteed ban.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Ecchi
"Softcore hentai. Often includes panty-shots, nudity, or perverted situations.

The idea of it is more often than not, NSFW. You have a board specifically for ecchi.

You are mad beyond belief. Sit down for a while, and take an unbiased look at more of 4chan than just /a/ for a moment. Contemplate things, and stop acting so jumpy like /v/.

You are the only one mad here. /a/ isn't the rest of 4chan. /a/ is /a/. Just like every other board is their own thing. The way the rules are enforced variates from board to board, get it through your thick skull and stop shitposting. /a/ has much looser nsfw rules due to the topic of the board and as it has been said multiple times, h-manga is still manga. It is still an /a/ topic and the nsfw rules mostly exist to stop porn dumping as not everything needs to be drowning in porn, not nsfw discussion. It was mod approved because it is still manga, and people wanted to talk about it. Yes, one of the biggest reasons is because /h/ is a fucking shithole, but that is irrelevant as topics and things aren't completely board restricted. That is called a containment board and the only one of that exist on 4chan is /mlp/. Yes, yes, its fucking board culture.

You haven't provided any reason why they should be banned other than citing rules which are made to be vague as fuck so that the mods can ban whatever the fuck they want. They aren't meant to be taken literally. If they were I couldn't call you a stupid fucking monkey nigger right now and the 'quality' rule would be enforced to the maximum effect and you would of just gotten banned for saying I'm mad instead of providing a argument, you fucking idiot. The rules are enforced differently board to board and sad panda threads were mod approved as they aren't harmful, people on the board liked them and the topic is board related. The only rule you could ban them under is because at this point they are generals and I wouldn't disagree there. Generals need to be banned again from /a/, but the mods at the current moment seem more interested in shitting on /a/ then doing their job and fulfilling their promise of banning them.

Got it.
Thanks!

>>472494
No problem.

Hiro-pyon, do you think Homura did anything wrong?

>>472448
Hi Hiro. They were allowed because h-manga is still manga. A mod approved of them years ago as people liked them on /a/ and they weren't harmful. While people crossboard, boards still have different userbases and the good majority of /a/ doesn't actually use /h/. So, they wanted to talk about a single topic that is technically board related on their board and the mods approved of it. There is no reason the panda threads can't be on both /a/ and /h/. There is only the nsfw rule, but it is mostly applied to porn dumping and these threads are mostly discussion and link sharing. No one actually posts nsfw images as the mods requested that it didn't be done in the threads, so people generally comply to that request. Please don't talk about this on /qa/ and instead go talk to /a/. A good majority of /a/ refuses to accept /qa/ existence, so you won't find many people here on the defending side of /a/ for most things and will instead find people who hate /a/ and just want to watch it burn and think they can manipulate you to do so.

Other than that, have you done or seen anything interesting recently?

>>472497
>will instead find people who hate /a/ and just want to watch it burn and think they can manipulate you to do so
Going to /a/ would literally be the exact opposite, because /a/ goes out of its way to shitpost other boards, i.e.
>will instead find people who hate not-/a/ and just want to watch it burn and think they can manipulate you to do so

>>472500
>because /a/ goes out of its way to shitpost other boards, i.e.
This doesn't happen. /a/ has always been the board that keeps to itself. Just because someone posts anime it doesn't mean they use /a/, stop being a fucking idiot. Most people on /a/ crossboard, this has always been the case. However, the board has always had a standing of keeping outsider shit outside of it and keep /a/ shit inside of /a/. This is perfect example of those people who just simply don't like /a/.

If he went to /a/, the chances of someone telling him to do anything outside of it are next to none exist. The only thing you will get there is people from other boards coming there and telling him to go to their board. This thread also has nothing to do with other board and is about a thread on /a/. The opinion of other boards means fucking nothing and only /a/'s matter. Hiro should be asking /a/ about it not a bunch of people from other boards how /a/ should be ran. That is only asking for trouble.

One more thing, Hiro.

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me. I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed. She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead. Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming. Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running. Didn't make sense not to live for fun, your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb. So much to do, so much to see, so what's wrong with taking the back streets? You'll never know if you don't go. You'll never shine if you don't glow.

>>472497
I would also think that a hentai doujin of an /a/ product would also be /a/, even if you have to link out to it and not post the thing on /a/.

>>472466
Actually, hiro will you ever consider the possibility of re-adding the textboards?

>>472503
>Just because someone posts anime it doesn't mean they use /a
No one said it did. But /a/ whines pretty consistently about other boards (and everything else).
Kind of dumb to walk into a crowd of screaming shitposters to figure out what they want, if you can dig it up through the other irrelevant bullshit.

Also, making this comment
>Just because someone posts anime it doesn't mean they use /a
in the same post where you imply that anyone who disagrees with your view of what should or shouldn't be on /a/ is not really from /a/?

To understand the different perspectives on this, I would start by reading through the whole thread.
A basic and unbiased understanding of the rules and how the userbase does things will tell you all you really need to know. If this thread is TL;DR, then how about this:

TL;DR: It's OK when /a/ does it. Why is it OK? Because /a/.

Rules are for user satisfaction.

>>472531
BASED

>>472531
Why does /a/ feel the desire to post that kind of content on /a/ when they have /e/ and /h/? Why is /a/ a SFW when that kind of material is allowed? Why not just make /a/ a NSFW board and call it a day? It seems like that's what they want anyway. If you're going to allow that kind of thing on /a/, then the board colour and rules should reflect that, right? Should a board's respective rules not reflect the kind of content that is to be expected on it? After all, NSFW content is extremely common there.

>>472520

>>472606
What if the new mods do the exact same thing? And worse, the old mods who abuse their power don't get removed? We'll be having double the trouble.

For this suggestion to have any chance of working, some mods will have to be dismissed first.

>>472531
People are complaining now, the satisfaction of the users is very low.
A lot of people on /a/ demand that the rules are followed.
Delete the "Sad Panda threads" right now, please!

>>472520
4chan used to have 2ch.net styled textboards. We had /vip/, /lounge/, /prog/ etc. Ask one of the older mods about it, or google world4ch.

>>472531
So what about /d/ and the way the mods eviscerated it?

>>472536
Because you are a fucking idiot who has completely missed the fucking point and is treating the site as every other and for some stupid reason every board should be treated the *exact* same and are thinking of everything in black in white. You are also completely missing the fucking part were the blueboard system was always about stopping porn dumping, not nsfw discussion. Shit like /pol/ is red to reflect its status of this board is fucking bad for you, rather than the nsfw rules. /a/ is still a blue board and it very much reflect its own medium in this regard. You just can't understand it because you are a fucking idiot who refused to lurk and treat the site like some fucking traditional forum or if it is reddit. /h/, /d/, /e/, /c/ and shit also aren't discussion boards. Discussion is a secondary thing and they exist for the sole purpose of image dumping and at some point mods banned you for discussion on some of these boards.

The website has always followed its own nsfw rule set, not the traditional one. How is this so fucking hard to understand? Is the only thing you are capable of is reading the rules? That must be it. It'd explain why you source the fuckers so much. The GR are a vague guideline that gives the mods the power to do whatever the fuck they want, but their enforcement variates board to board and generally depends on the topic. H-manga is still manga, the nsfw rule is mostly about images, not discussion and if fucking /v/ had a mod that cared about it and the userbase wasn't so immature, the board would probably be allowed to at-least have 1-2 threads about H-games on the board.

This isn't '/a/ gets what /a/ wants'. This has never been the case and you damn fucking know it. The creation of /jp/ says the exact opposite. /a/ never got what it wanted and just simply had a mod that went out of their way for the board.

Stop being a '4CHAN IS SERIOUS BUSINESS' retard and lurk the fuck moar and kill yourself.

We used to have old text boards like 2ch before moot removed them and I can't recall if he ever gave a reason why. They are light on system resources and while slow, they can serve a fucking lot of shit. They were useful to have and arguably, a lot of the really stupid boards people are suggesting would be better suited as text boards. Only issue there is for you to remind people that just because something has a board, it doesn't mean it is board restricted and can't set outside that board.

Text boards would fix the general problem as well, as the tb are better suited to those sort of threads than the ib.

The grand irony is that retards are retarded and make logging into a website seem like seem like some advanced shit that requires years of knowledge and experience to do.

You're very upset that I found glaring holes in your logic, and am making them very clear to all the people here. The fact that you feel the need to throw empty insults at me proves me right. Again, I'm not going to read all of your post because it's repeating the same flawed logic as always. Besides, NSFW content will attract a lot of people you might not want to post along side with. Sexy stuff never scares undesirable people away.

If NSFW on /a/ is to continue as it is, then /a/'s rules need to change. Otherwise, this particular "culture" you are always trying to push will always be wrong. Deal with it.


This guy is ridiculously mad about something as simple as the realistic possibility of the removal of NSFW. It's not about the content at all, is it? This guy is completely obsessed with trying to preserve any and everything - good or bad - that has been on /a/ for more than a couple years. It's a culture obsession and a fear of change.

Are you from /b/? I feel like I'm arguing with someone on /b/ years ago. Or, I guess it seems more likely you are a /v/ermin, both work.

You are complaining about insults while your entire post is meant to be a insult while you gargle flawed logic and go
>i dont like x on y board i dont use change it because im a big baby

In-fact, you got proven so wrong and you know it that you just decided to go the sad panda threads are going to completely kill /a/ without providing anything to prove that when everything else disagrees with what you are saying. Deal with it, the only one upset here is you. You are upset that a board is different to the one you use and don't like it. Deal with it, nothing on /a/ needs to change on /a/ in this regards. H-manga is still manga and you lack a decent understanding of the rules. lurk moar

No.

Again, no login needed at all. One easy step, versus no steps at all. I knew you were going to defend your sacred holy land of porn, though.

>>473342
No anon, you are going to quote this shit for me. There isn't a single H-manga site today that doesn't get the majority of its content by ripping the panda, since that is where most scanlators dump their shit besides their blogs. And pretty much almost all of these rip nothing but lq and downscaled shit. You are going to quote me for this shit, because what you are saying is fucking wrong and I know it.

Also, if you aren't looking for loli or incredibly offensive content, g.e-h still exist and it doesn't even need an account! I bet your retarded arse didn't even think about that.

>One easy step, versus no steps at all.
Everything good in life requires effort. While you read lq downscaled garbage, I'm going to read the fullscale hq shit.

You should follow your own advice.

Poronography is contrary to Islam and must be destroyed.

>>473375
According to whom?

>>473374
You first need to lurk moar and understand the global rules aren't literal and are vague to allow the mods to remove whatever they want. How they are applied variates board to board. GR 5 is still applied to /a/! You can't post porn! You can still post official nsfw content as long as it isn't consider 'adult content'/hentai by the elevens and you can still have very nsfw discussion just like every fucking board. The sad panda threads don't actually break the rules. Text for the most part does not break GR 3. The fact the mods literally APPROVED of the thread and allowed them for years and moot never came along and said they have to fuck off and that hiro basically before said that as long as it isn't harmful and is board related, there isn't anything really wrong with it puts your 'b-but the rules that have never been enforced this way on /a/ say otherwise' into the /trash/.

The only real thing you can ban panda threads for is being basically generals at this point. You still haven't provided any reason why sexual text completely falls under the nsfw rule more than me calling you a fucking cunt fuck stupid dick shit.

>The only people who hate /a/ so much that they would come here and bitch probably aren't old regulars
I've been lurking and shitposting on 4chan since 2004 and have started to routinely complain about the contemporary /a/utists who have completely taken over and forced most of the /a/nons out. There was a point wherein got so fucking feed up with the retards and shit moderation around 2010 that I left 4chan for a good two years. I could see it full steam ahead towards becoming a general infested shithole and there was nothing to do about it. However I've noticed that there is a small amount of resistance within /a/ and the legacy boards in general that oppose this wasteland of general which are barren of everything that made 4chan fun and exciting for years. Sure, there may be outsiders and newscum complaining but there definitely are people who really understand the situation who are speaking up about it and it is these people who the /a/utists seem to detest the most.

>The fact that sad panda threads still exist there is proof they belong.
No.
A complete change of the moderation team with people who would be willing to enforce the global and board rules without objection would completely revamp the site and destroy all of these cancerous off topic generals which from the outside may appear to foster a sense of elitism within a board, in reality only attract fags who are able to attach themselves to a single persistent thread and ironically lower the barrier to entry for the board.

In the past /a/ was viewed as being elitist, but spend some time in the board now and you'll find the arrogance of elitism still there but the posters themselves are predictably outspoken plebs that if you know how to trigger their insecurities, will reveal themselves to be no better than outsiders they talk shit about. /a/ is no different than /v/, they just have different memes.

>>472364
Off topic generals by definition do not belong on any given board. How on earth can you possibly make this into some sort of character assassination attempt and think that it does anything other than make the argument of the anon/s you are so offended over even more worth hearing out?

>>472531
That bullshit attitude is exactly why legacy boards are nothing but dens of cancerous generals.

The rules are there so get your slaves to fucking enforce them.

>>473163
>You mean those sites that just rip the panda for lq downscaled crap?
Where do you think the content that gets uploaded to exhentai comes from? People are taking raws from other sites and uploading them to ex. If you know the name of the magazine or artist, you can use google and search for them directly and find dozens of different Japanese and Chinese sites hosting the rips.

I've had an account for ex for years but rarely use it these days because most of the loli content is faster to find because it usually takes a while for people to upload stuff to ex that I'm interested in and worst of all they often either upload some shitty scanlation first and raws at some point later, or don't upload the raws at all. This comes back to the false elitism that I touched upon here >>473395

>>473405
You and I both fucking know that had nothing to do with raws. It was about translated content which is what most people go for. There isn't any false elitism about the panda. You are free to use whatever you want. But don't act like somehow the other sites are somehow 'better' when all they do is rip the panda for translated shit and most of the time at a lower quality and downscaled. g.e-h is still the main fucking site and any form of 'elitism' about the panda is mostly laughing at fucking idiots who are too stupid to get past what is literally the simplest shit in the world. Of course people will act 'elitist' about it. If you can't get past it without the plugin, you are probably fucking stupid.

If you are willing to follow a bunch of blogs and other shit, it is only natural you will get content faster. But most people don't want to do that as it generally can be time consuming.

>>473404
>so get your slaves to fucking enforce them.
I hope you know you are apart of the problem. Treating the mods as nothing more than ban machines and removing them the ability to have fun with us is a big reason in how we got to our current state.

>>473411
>You and I both fucking know that had nothing to do with raws.
They are the only thing that matters.
>It was about translated content which is what most people go for.
So most of the thread is EOP trash? That's even more reason to remove it from the board.
>There isn't any false elitism about the panda
You've presented it throughout this entire thread.
>But don't act like somehow the other sites are somehow 'better' when all they do is rip the panda for translated shit
I wasn't talking about translated shit, because it's fucking irrelevant and you know it.
>Of course people will act 'elitist' about it.
Now you've contradicted yourself.
>But most people don't want to do that as it generally can be time consuming.

You're a fucking hypocrite and to make matters worse you're arrogant to boot.

>>473411
>I hope you know you are apart of the problem.
Someone who wants rules to be enforced as they are written as opposed to enforced selectively when the mod wants to remove something he is personally offended by. I am not part of the problem.

>and removing them the ability to have fun
Get fucked; they have a fucking job to do. They can still have fun, like the rest of us can: anonymously.
>is a big reason in how we got to our current state.
No, the biggest reason why we are in the current state is because of what I stated just before:
>Someone who wants rules to be enforced as they are written as opposed to enforced selectively when the mod wants to remove something he is personally offended by. I am not part of the problem.

>>473445
if you removed all the EOP trash from /a/ there would be basically nothing left

>>473163
>Also, the point of the panda isn't a sekrit club and is just simply a way to avoid the problems with advertisers since they don't like certain content, like loli.

It's not a problem on plenty of other sites (nhentai, hitomi.la)

That statement doesn't really hold when a good chunk of the time, the offending post is deleted fast enough that no one has time to complain, or if a rule-breaking post is made that isn't deleted, then sometimes the posts complaining about it get deleted instead.

>It's not a problem on plenty of other sites
It was a problem many years ago when the panda was made and many sites at the time redid their shit to avoid the loli trouble.

>>473490
Good, burn the fucker down and let it grow again.
If you want scanlations, make a thread and create them as a community.
If you subs, do the same.
Force the community to either start creating content again or fucking starve and die. That should purge out the manchildren who have used /a/ as their little reddit hugbox for the past few years. Literally everything discussed nowdays is in the same inane format that reddit uses: third party aggregation, with the only difference of directly hosting images instead of using whatever reddit uses.

It's about time a casual filter was brought back into the site.

>>473783
>It was a problem many years ago
Ergo entirely irrelevant and therefore there is no reason why sad panda threads should be allowed on /a/. I agree.

>>473840
If you have to register to see the content then you should not be allowed to link to it at all. It's basically a dead link.

Why do people continue to support this site?

Really, why?

Putting aside why it's allowed on /a/, why does anyone puts up with this shit.

When you just post a bare link to ExH without any title or author information, you are precluding the ability to find the content anywhere else it might be. Even Tim Berners-Lee said that's a bad idea in general.

On top of that, the more you support the site, the more content becomes exclusive to it. Since it's not indexed by Google or iqdb, that makes it way more difficult to sauce stuff, which increases the load on >>>/r/

Even >>>/jp/ realized that this was bullshit FOUR FUCKING YEARS AGO ( http://4chandata.org/jp/Are-there-any-decent-alternatives-to-exhentaiAll-this-You-need-50-posts-on-the-forums-and-a-2-year-old-account-to-view-this-galler-a262658 )

Access is arbitrary, bans are more arbitrary still, and the entire setup is convoluted as fuck. Plus, I'm wonder if he's gathering IPs to either give to the authorities if and when they ban lolicon, or to use for

Also, sites like ExH rob the ORIGINAL authors and translators of any possible benefit they could get for their work. If you posted the title+author, people could find the works on their site and support them with advertising revenue.

I propose that Exhentai be added to the spam filter. Period, bar-none. 4chan does not exist to promote some seekrit club. That's not what our hosting bills go to pay for.

>>473925
Listen you fucking retarded cunt. To access ex-hentai you have to jump through hoops, and you're pathetic if you do that. That content can be accessed on nhentai or hitomi.la and you don't have to create an account or do anything else to access it.

Fuck you, you pathetic little idiot.

>>473925
Except a lot of the stuff linked has been "expunged" from EH.

I could find it myself, with a little effort, IF people would give me the author and title. Instead, by posting only a link it ensures that members of that seekrit klub have to put in 0 effort, but those of us who refuse to be jewed by that ponyfag adminasstrator have NO way of accessing it.

>>473919
No, what happened is it was originally a thing to encourage people to post on the forums, but the admin soon realized it just encouraged spamming and shitposting.

Of course, since then he's gone all Orwellian and completely denied it ever happened, but the record speaks for itself.

>>473931
You don't have to jump through any hoops. All the content is still on e-h. The only thing that isn't is loli, which, if not for the panda, wouldn't be on the site at all due to advertisers. You should upset that to actually get something, you have to put effort into it and would rather use sites that just give you lq downscales ripped from the panda.

>>473933
>Except a lot of the stuff linked has been "expunged" from EH.
And that shit is only loli, incest, toddler, beast, shotacon and abortion going by the wiki. That isn't exactly a lot. You also could find the other content by LITERALLY JUST CHANING the url to g.e-h. Everyone can gain fucking access to the panda by making an account and then waiting a few weeks and it has access. Congrats! You are retarded and am making the most east to access idiot filter seem like some fucking hardcore private tracker. Welcome to fucking actually pirating things. Getting actual quality of things requires more than opening up tpg or kat and actually requires you to put effort in.

>>473938
Incest is a fucking huge chunk of anime. Loli and shota lesser, but still big. Meanwhile nhentai, doujin-moe, and hitomi still have it. Plus the admins have been known in the past to expunge popular works in order to force more people to sign up. It's total and absolute bullshit.

>>473938
>The only thing that isn't is loli, which, if not for the panda, wouldn't be on the site at all due to advertisers.

You are literally complaining that you have to make a simple account to access fucking content. If you want to bitch about the panda, at-least bring up and argument that isn't fucking stupid.

I have never heard of this and the only content that gets expunged is shit that would get them in legal troubles.

I wasn't saying DM was a good thing, just that they still have loli. T.B.H. I'd rather people if they're going to link anywhere do it to the original translator's site.

>he is still trying to cite the GR as what is
Reality must be really hard on you, huh? Besides Gr 15, every single GR is meaningless garbage that has no semblance in reality. Only board specific rules matter and the GR have always been most of the time overruled by board culture. You don't even know what you are talking about, you stupid forum shitter.

Every global rule besides 15, 16 and the loli, guro and furry part of GR 3 are better considered 'guidelines' as they aren't meant to be taken literally and merely exist for the sole purpose of giving the moderation team the right to remove any and all posts they desire. If you are going to take GR 5 literally, don't forget to take GR 6 literally. That means you have to nuke the entire of fucking 4chan, because around 95% of the posts on this site since its creation don't follow that rule.

>>474068
>Besides Gr 15, every single GR is meaningless garbage that has no semblance in reality
If you want ass n titties on /a/ so badly, then you need to push for a change in rules. A board being classified as SFW but still allowing NSFW is maximum hypocrisy, and a terrible indication of what to expect on that board. You want something so blatant and recognizable to be justified on /a/? Then push for /a/ to become a NSFW board. That's all there is to it. Until then, you're wrong.

"Nipplemod" did everything right.

>A board being classified as SFW but still allowing NSFW is maximum hypocrisy
Welcome to your first day of 4chan. Please stop posting and lurk moar.

>>474100
I knew it was you trying to put on a facade. Go on, call me a retard and tell me to "fuck off" next. Everyone here knows you're chomping at the bit to throw another insult at someone who is correct about something that you can't get around. You have literally nothing in the rules to back your claims up, and that's all your post is telling us.

Next reply:
"Fuck off", "Kill yourself.", "retard" and "newfag".

>>474107
You only have the rules to backup your claim retard, rules which have never been enforced the way you want them to be. The few times they have it has been considered mod abuse on the mod. See niggerwood, the nazi mod for /tg/ and fucking nipplemod who decided that it was a great idea to go against everything the entire board was built upon and project his personal opinion onto the board without any regards for the boards culture or users because of 'm-muh rules'. You are nothing more than a stupid rulefag who wants all culture and communityshit on the site to die in favour of the site of just becoming a generic forum. The rules have always been something that exist for the users and not the other way around. The GR exist for the *SOLE SAKE* of giving the mods to do what they want, not something that is meant to be taken literally. There is a reason board culture has most of the time been something used as the base for modding a board. The sad panda threads are there for a reason and the fact it there discredits your argument. Rulefags like you weren't even really a thing until that cancer /q/ board was made, you stupid /q/baby.

Keep crying /q/baby, nothing is changing. Just go to fucking reddit or SA, you'll love both of them. Both follow their rules right to the letter and don't allow any creativity or originality like 4chan always has.

>>474117
Your argument is that the rules are guidelines for boards. NSFW is NSFW. /a/ is a SFW board. It's hypocrisy to think /a/ should have obviously NSFW content without being labeled as a NSFW board. It's misleading for the board as a whole. The difference between something being NSFW and SFW is very big. And again: It doesn't help your case that every single other blue board that is known to be actively moderated, doesn't allow it. And that /e/ and /h/ exist.

You're cornered and all you can come up with is "lurk more". See, the issue is that you want the mods to selectively moderate your board, and I'm being the fair one here by saying that global rule enforcement should be equal on all boards. You cry for special exceptions, and that is something tied to properly corrupt moderation.

>>474134
>It's hypocrisy to think /a/ should have obviously NSFW content without being labeled as a NSFW board
It's only hypocrisy if you are a retarded outsider who never bothered to lurk and decided that 4chan should be treated the same as everything else on the internet.

>and I'm being the fair one here by saying that global rule enforcement should be equal on all boards.
>the community culture and everything is irrelevant every board should be the same and should be super duper serious discussion only
See, this is why no one takes /q/tard rulefags seriously. You aren't looking for 'fairness', you just don't like the fact every board is their own thing and is ran differently. You aren't looking for 'quality' or 'fairness', you want to overthrow everything the site has been built on instead want it to change to become no different to some retarded traditional forum like SA or reddit.

>despite this thing not being made to cater to me i want you to change it despite the fact it has an insane large number of people that love and the minority that agrees with me isnt even 1% but still you should change it to cater to me and ruin it for everyone else
This is you.

Your unbias perspective means fucking nothing because this is 4chan. Board culture that isn't harmful wins over the rules. That is pretty much how it has always ran. Don't like it? Kill yourself and go back to /q/.

Lurk moar is the only answer to your stupidity. Hiro has already done this discussion with /a/ ages ago. nsfw content can be posted as long as it falls under certain conditions and panda threads were approved even further back and were posted even before that. Your only argument is 'b-but the RULES', which means nothing when the entire site history says fucking otherwise. Your 'unbiased' opinion means nothing when you are trying to dictate something you don't even like or have any knowledge of.

>>474164
>the rules
>the rules
>the rules
Are you incapable of providing any argument without being a dicksucking rulefag? These rules you are citing are useless when the site history and the very fact the panda threads were approved on the board say otherwise. Rulefags are the worst group of people in any community. Community's that are ran by rules right to the fucking letter are literally fucking garbage for anything interesting or fun. You'd only use it for super serious topics and discussion. 4chan isn't that.

> then a change of rules in in order.
The only change in the rules that needs to be done is
NO GENERALS FUCKING ALLOWED

>>474165
Something is clearly wrong when a board isn't exempt from one of the global rules, and always breaks that global rule. Change is needed to make /a/ not look like a board full of pompous princesses.

>>474168
So you want a rule against generals of any kind (even when about anime or manga), yet you don't want the rules changed to make /a/ look better to others? You want a rule to suit your personal desire, but then you ignore something the entire board might as well be a laughing stock for?

I seriously hope Hiro will read what you say, because it's dripping with hypocrisy and bias.

>>474168
And this is why we need /ag/

Hiro-sama, would that really be so much to ask?

>>474169
>yet you don't want the rules changed to make /a/ look better to others
Why would any /a/non give two shits about the board looking good to outsiders? /a/ is for /a/nons, not for anyone else. Fuck off with your welcoming attitude.

>You want a rule to suit your personal desire,
No, no, you see. This isn't MY personal desire, this is a sentiment that was on /a/ when the first general was given life. They were already banned once. Generalfags are the invaders.

>>474170
Fuck off cancer, no one gives two fucks what you think. We don't need a cancerous /ag/ board. It's cancer and you don't know what you are talking about. General boards are the worst fucking idea in existence. You of all people have no right to an opinion for fucking /a/ when you came to /qa/ to demand the board change its entire culture to cater to you. Fuck back off to >>>/b/

>>474172
The past is somewhat irrelevant when we're talking about current events.
You want the generals gone, but you somehow think the rules for /a/ shouldn't be changed to allow other content you personally want? And even when the content you want already has several boards for it.

If /a/ really wants it, then /a/'s rules need to change. It's that simple.

>>474175
It would help if /a/ would ever follow its own rules in the first place.

>>474175
I never said anything about written rules, you fucking idiot. Hiro or a mod just needs to post saying they are banned and it is as simple as that. The majority of actual rules aren't written, lurk moar.

Before you go
>IT NEEDS TO BE WRITTEN
It doesn't, most rules have never been written and hiro placed a rule on it recently that isn't written. You just simple need to LURK MOAR.

>>474179
Fuck off. Don't try acting like you know anything. You literally spout /v/ermin memes and shit. Kill yourself, you are apart of the cancer killing /a/. You haven't even used the board for 2 years and yet you think you know everything and should have the right to dictate the entire thing when you have only ever displayed your lack of knowledge of the board. lurk moar

>>474182
For permanent and board altering rules to be taken seriously by the majority of users, things need to be written down. If NSFW is and has been officially (but unwritten) allowed for a long time, then the board rules should reflect that decision.

>>474169
>Something is clearly wrong when a board isn't exempt from one of the global rules, and always breaks that global rule. Change is needed to make /a/ not look like a board full of pompous princesses.
And whatever 'change' that is will make 50% or more leave /a/ and go in some other anonymous image board. I'm beginning to think you're from the SJW or perhaps one of these /b/-fags I keep hearing so much.

>>474211
So we should bend and break the rules for them just because some might get up and leave?

Speaking of /b/, isn't that what we fought Old /b/ Day for?

>>474211
The people few that would leave wouldn't be of any real concern, would they? I keep hearing the majority of users on /a/ want it, so why would that be an issue?

Then again, people that want it on /a/ already have a few places to go on 4chan.

>>474172
> /a/ is for /a/nons
There are very few /a/nons left
the /a/utists took over during 2007 and 2008.
The general threads also sprang into life and stayed after they came, because the mods were sick of trying to fight against their autistic lashing out at not getting their way.

The remaining /a/nons without a doubt would welcome every single general being purged from /a/ and allowing /a/ to grow once again after all the outsiders finally fucked off after all of these years.

You don't know what it's like, to have your home board completely taken over by unwelcome immigrants and have their every desire pandered to at the expense of everything that made your board great to be in.

>>474211
>And whatever 'change' that is will make 50% or more leave /a/ and go in some other anonymous image board
Fucking good. That would be the best possible thing to happen to /a/ and 4chan in general. Get rid of the faggots who only come here to hide away in their little hugbox.

>>474214
>So we should bend and break the rules for them just because some might get up and leave?
They did it for years on /d/ and are still doing it on /h/ so yea.

>>473967
Did you even read it?

There's something very suspicious about exhentai. What the hell is up with all that cookie-tampering?
Why isn't it enough to just make an account and wait a few days? Why all the tampering with cookies? Explain that to me, I'm guessing that you can't.

The whole damn site is fishier than Sakura and de geso put together. Some people get in easily, other others have to jump through hoops. I suspect it's all done manually and therefore people end up with wildly different experiences. There's no rhyme or reason to it. It's all the more reason why it should either be added to the spam filter, or as a matter of official or unofficial policy all links to it must be accompanied by author and title information so people can find material elsewhere if they choose.

What's so bad about it? Works fine for me.

>>474455
Just ignoring shit is the reason why /a/ is full of these cancerous generals.

What is fucking autistic are the people defending this thread being on /a/ when there are multiple other boards which are far more related to porn. People don't want your shitty thread on the board and it's extremely fucking selfish to expect everyone else to just put up with it when it has no place on the board and isn't justified by the rules to be allowed to exist there.

How the fuck do you think the thousands of other anons feel when their more on topic threads are deleted willy nilly yet cancerous off topic generals are protected by the people who used the very rules these threads break in order to delete threads which didn't break the rules. They have every right to be pissed off at this double standard.

I'm so fucking sick of the selfish "put up with my shit or I'll throw a fit" attitude your generation has.

Do provide examples of mods deleting things that aren't off-topic. I agree they do protect some threads, but most people in this thread don't actually want to complain about the moderation but about the sad panda threads. Do you intend on having a thread like this for every thread you deem off-topic?

No it doesn't. Why would you need to right something down something for anons to take it seriously? See, there you are doing it again. You are treating 4chan like some traditional forum with e-whoring mods with iron fists. No, those rules don't need to be written down. Everyone knows what they are and have screencaps. If you don't, you just need to LURK MOAR like how it always has been.

These double standards have to go and don't fucking tell me to lurk moar because I've used this site for a fucking hell of a lot longer than you and the entire reason these generals exists is due to you and your ilk coming into 4chan in massive numbers, NOT LURKING, then completely taking over boards and throwing fucking fits when mods tried to get you all to fuck off.

You are out of line here and are behaving exactly like a muslim in the UK demanding that the established laws must be bent to respect Islam just because they came in fuck off huge numbers and took over suburbs with a mob mentality.

You are acting like this some sort of big thing? And yes, there is websites that require you to clear cookies to access some of its shit. This isn't some suspicious shit, it is pretty simple. The panda is babys first 'secret' website and yet you are treating it like some FBI cp hotpot. How fucking funny. Also, you don't need to clear cookies to register, only before accessing the panda.

Don't mistake me for that other guy, I'm a different person that's in total disbelief at the shit you people are saying. You DO know 4chan uses cookies, right? Like, there's about 6 different cookies coming from 4chan sitting in your hard drive right now.

But on the topic of sadpanda, I have NO idea what that other guy is talking about, I didn't have to do ANY of that shit. I just downloaded the plugin, made a g.e- account, waited about a week, and bam - instant access to my loli porn. I'm probably an edge case, though, if all the stories are to be believed.

The issue is that you have to delete all existing related cookies or clear everything in general before you can register or sign up.

>I just downloaded the plugin
Not a good idea according to almost everyone.
In this thread >>>/h/4220461 people are saying that it might get you banned or that it might contain malicious code.

>>474765
All the plugin does is delete the cookie. As it's a non-official plugin, it may break after some updates and people flood the thread asking how to fix it when they shouldn't be using it in the first place. The deal with the cookies is that while most sites use cookies to enhance site performance, the panda uses the cookies to keep users out. Exhentai is a site designed to be a sekrit klub, of course normal sites wouldn't have cookies to prevent user from getting in, that's counterproductive

The only reason its a 'sekrit club' is because advertisers are fucking jews and don't like loli.

>>474799

>>474825
How do magnets work, anon?

>>474825
The cookies happen when you're trying to access exhentai without account/with an account newer than 1-2 weeks. The cookies are there to block the access to exhentai even if 2 weeks later you try to access it. So you remove exhentai cookies yourself or use the retarded haruhi plugin and you can access exhentai.

tl;dr create an e-h account, wait 2 weeks, and then access exhentai.

>>474830
Thanks for the answer.
And this is all done because the site owner doesn't want a lot of people on exhentai? Why would he NOT want that?

>>474842
Mostly because there's no ads.

>>474842
Because it has no ads and the site owner doesn't want advertisers and lawyers shitting the place up with bitching maybe? It was almost as if the panda was made in attempt to circumvent certain people making them remove content.
