Continuation of >>679615 → #

Hiro asked us to get feedback for 'regulations' via metathreads.

Continue to discuss the perceived consensus' reached by the metathreads here, as we wait & hope for Hiro to respond to the information he asked us to collect.

I can't speak for the other boards' metathreads as I do not frequent them, but in the /tg/ metathread there was substantial debate over whether quest threads should be allowed on /tg/.
When bringing this up with Hiro, he was of the opinion that no change should be enacted on the board without there being a large (or even total?) consensus among the users as to whether said change should be enacted.
If this is truly Hiro's belief, then why were quests banned in the first place? There was definitely no consensus among the users for such an action.

/ic/'s meta thread
>>>/ic/2684829

Final Results:
>>681974
>>
Current /tg/-/qst/ idea & consensus attempt:

Allow quests back on /tg/. Use /qst/ as an additional board if quests want to use it, for example QMs who want to utilise the extra functions. /qst/ also serves as a /trash/-type board where quests can be moved if they're dead or overpopulating the board.

Quests on /tg/ only bump to page 2. This would be achieved via a 'Game/Quest' checkbox in the OP creation interface. Creating a game/quest without checking the box means quest can be reported and deleted.

Any comments?

>consensus on /co/:
/co/ doesn't want live action cinematic universes (because 3DPD non-comics and non-cartoons do not belong on a 2D board).

>consensus on /tv/:
/tv/ doesn't want superhero cinematic universes (because the company wars raise infighting and lower the overall quality of discussion).

>not a consensus, just my observation (I'm not sure how I would measure this anyway):
No currently-existing board wants the BANE/INVINCIBLE SON/DANCE-OFF cinematic universes (because hot heads).

Superheroes (especially Marvel and DC) have content that thousands of posters want to discuss. However, no existing board wants to hold all the baggage associated with live action superhero movies and live action superhero television shows. Therefore, I ask Hiro to please make a new board for superheroes (especially live action superheroes).

What are seiyuu threads? Yes, I know what a seiyuu is but I don't go to /a/. This sounds like something I'd be interested in, because I am obsessed with them and don't have anyone to talk to who knows enough about them. What do they talk about there?
>>
>>682260
Why can't we call it /cape/ or /sh/ or even /hero/ instead of /cpsht/? Not only is /cpsht/ hard to pronounce but there's not a single other board on this site where the name of the board is specifically insulting to the subject matter.

/qa/ posters are always resistant to change. The fact of the matter is that /co/ still wants that content removed from /co/, and /tv/ still wants that content removed from /tv/.

And a lot of them are the same guy. /d/ had an issue where a couple days into their feedback thread somebody from here somebody started shitposting up an absolute storm, impersonating a mod, demanding they delete the thread and go to /qa/, and botting all their polls. It was a mess.

I'll never understand why people are so desperate to avoid any kind of changes.

The problem with the board is that it's a board. It's not a topic that draws people in.

Seems like a great thread. I can't believe I didn't know about this. Finally a place where I can make jokes about Sakurai and someone will understand them.

On one hand it's pretty /a/-relevant since it's directly related to anime, but it's definitely also a good fit for /jp/. Both sides seem to have a valid argument here. So I personally think it'll be fine no matter what happens but I hope it turns out in a way the majority is satisfied with.

I'd rather have strict moderation than inconsistent moderation any day.

And chances are good that they'll be easier to talk to than the current batch.
>>
>>682435
Making new boards doesn't mean things will get better. Just look at /asp/ and /his/.

We have absolute piss poor moderation, and it's been getting worse since moot left. The mods are destorying this site and everyone knows it. You make another board now it's just going to get infested with shitposters because the mods are too lazy to moderate the board.

>Who gets to be a new mod?
Anyone who cares about 4chan.

>Where do they come from?
The internet. As long as they have used this site for 6+ years or more they qualify

>What are the qualifications necessary to apply?
Someone who loves their home boards hobby and actually cares about the board, preferably someone 21 or older, and someone knows knows about IRC, computers, running things and is competent in their job. Must prove they are not newfags either.

>You hate all the janitors too, so it can't be any of them.
They don't even train the janitors we got. Seriously they actually stopped training them because were that lazy

>The internet. As long as they have used this site for 6+ years or more they qualify
Vague.

Vague.

Please write up an actual proposal with solid, concrete guidelines. And then pass it around to see if you can get a consensus of opinions. Until then, this shit is honestly pretty useless.

Can I assume every post you've made in this thread is based on equally poor reading comprehension or what?

and what the fuck are you even talking about with all this reddit shit out of nowhere? It doesn't make any sense. You honestly sound like a fucking idiot if you think reddit is somehow linked to the topic of manga in general just because they have a board for it. Wanting a board for manga has absolutely nothing to do with that site whatsoever.

How do you even know they have a manga board anyway unless you go there, and why are you so concerned with them?

>and there not being enough mods to keep up with the shitposting
Hence prioritising feels over reals, because it's a lot easier to do. If there were an adequate amount of moderators, if would be harder for this culture of us vs. them mentality which has existed since day one.

First of all, I didn't ask to get feedback.
If there is consensus to change something,
I would like to know.
>>
>>682723
I mean, I can understand why they might moderate where they know how to moderate, that would help explain why some threads are better than others. but then there are threads (even on popular boards like /v/) that have posts that are very obviously breaking multiple rules and those threads will have posts that stay up for many hours.

I'm convinced that the mods aren't the best, and I'm sure they would agree themselves. But the userbase is obviously at fault as well. I'm almost certain that most people don't report posts simply because they are so used to every other website where moderation does almost all the work for them.

The users on 4chan complain about moderation so much not just because there are somewhat unresponsive mods, but also because they are so damn used to being babysatby moderation on every other website.


If it's against the rules, and you want it gone, you MUST report it. Stop being lazy.

Mod intervention and discouraging them when the discussion isn't on topic or meaningless. Ask the people who moderated /a/ between 2011 and 2013 on how they tried to remove generals since they have some experience in it.

>>682814
He got fired because of that crusade of his.
>>
>>682808
Please look at this:
http://desuarchive.org/a/thread/31236541/
We did not want a manga board 6 years ago, and we do not want one now.
>>
>>682808
There are three types of manga when it comes to /a/.
1. Small set of manga that consistently get lots of posters, SnK, BNHA, etc.
2. Manga that can sustain threads every so often for chapter releases and similar.
3. Everything else.
Threads in tier 3 are basically a crap shoot if they will get posters and even then they won't survive long. Tier 2 threads can do okay depending.
Effectively manga discussion on /a/ ends up obeying pareto principle where vast majority of it is discussing the same popular manga ad nauseum. There's plenty of good threads that simply can't survive on /a/ because of the board speed and proportion of /a/ that is primarily interested in manga.

/a/ is not conducive to manga discussion and a slower board would likely work very well.
Consider the solution shown here https://i.4cdn.org/qa/1474279912543.png
This would allow for more manga discussion and less popular (but still good) manga.
It would also still allow for discussion of manga to occur in anime threads which are adaptions of said manga.

All it would take is a short trial run of a manga board /ma/ to see how it would play out. /a/ would not be harmed.
You may see lots of anons saying and yelling against this but why don't they provide any reasons? They have none.
>>
>>682816
>no argument
>kill yourself
>everyone on /a/ hate his gook trash
Fuck off, braindead gook
>>
>>682831
THERES NO MANHWA ON /a/ RIGHT NOW,

FUCK OFF
>>
>>682808
Okay, here are reasons.

I want a manga board because /a/ moves too fast.

When see a manga thread, it's already in the archives.

Also, a manga forum would encourage more interest in manga.

In Japan, manga is more popular than anime.

It should have a board.
>>
>>682820
>lets ruin /a/ with a split
Anime and manga are too intertwined to separate that easily. It would create more shitposting and decrease discussion quality for both mediums.
>>
>>682834
He got fired because this was around the time moot destroyed most of the mods for no reason and he was past his boiling point.

Personally I'd like an expansion of the options field for thread OPs. Like on Futaba the OP can put an option in to have IDs display for all posters.
But while I do not want IDs on /a/, some stuff off the top of my head that sounded good:
Anon - forces Anonymous in the thread.
Sage - puts the thread on autosage but gets rid of post timers.
ID - makes everyone have IDs (like I said not on /a/ though, but for other boards)
Kana - enables kana captchas in the thread.

>>682831

>>
/a/ decides to merge with /jp/, hiro. Do it, fast.
>>
>>682808
We do not want a manga board. We usually discuss the manga and anime together, a separate board would just split communication. There are very few people who think that their unpopular manga will get popular on a new board, but they are wrong.
>>
>>682837
I know Hiro can speak English really well, but dude, simplify.
>>
>>682837
>All it would take is a short trial run of a manga board /ma/ to see how it would play out.
There is no such thing as a trial board and sure as hell no such thing as a trial split. A trial split is permanently damaging to a board and will forever leave a scar on /a/ to cater to a very small minority of people who don't actually use the board.
>>
>>682808
/a/ has a problem with shitposting.
Everyone looks at shitposting and thinks 'it's fine'.
If you bring back 'sage' visible it makes people think 'did I make a bad post?'
If you make the threads 'sage' by default like in 2ch then it means 'my post is only my opinion so the thread will not be bumped'
If the person thinks it's an important post it writes 'age' and the thread is bumped.
But if you write 'age' in a shitpost, then it means you did it on purpose. Your post is deleted.
This will change how /a/ sees shitposts. Please test it in /a/ for a week.
>>
>>682831
Chink and koreanshit are had always been deleted on /a/ dumb nigger.
>>
>>682845
Let me say it again, are you retard? the only one who made this poll is you
>>
>>682786
If the board is not deleted perhaps listen to /qst/ for what happens to it afterwards.

Their discussion thread >>>/qst/570135 here is quite big, but the general consensus with /qst/ from the /qst/ discussion thread was:

>the board is unnecessary
>ID's for anyone but OP are not useful
>reintegration with other board or boards preferable

This is summary though. There are other delicate opinions regarding what content the board must have, but it is significantly more divisive than these.

To be honest they may like you posting there again.
>>
>>682749
It is too late.

People on /tg/ who don't like things will bother the mods until they get their way. This is how /qst/ was made and why mods put quests there. Because a small number of people whined and lied to the mods. The mods did what they said to do. Now no matter what, people who whine and cry to the mods will get things banned all the time.

This is how it will be from now on. the mods will do whatever makes the crying people happy.

>>
>>682808
the general consensus for the meta threads on /a/ that we don't want a manga board.
>>
Okay here's how you do it Hiro.

Never ask any board for a consensus opinion.
Just keep things as is and let the idiotic userbase handle their own garbage. But if the mods or you yourself, as evidenced by the 404 page drama recently, cause outrage only then will you need to have a talk with the board spited.

Literally don't touch anything. Literally don't listen to anybody. If there's any subconscious consensus that always exists in the back of everybody's heads, is that change will always cause trouble.

This place ain't a democracy.

>>682808
Hi Hiro, I propose a test of a manga board.
There is much more manga than anime in the world and yet /a/ discuss only a small fraction of manga most of which is very popular series in WSJ and similar. Manga discussion accounts for only a fraction of the discussion on /a/.
Meanwhile /a/ is one of the faster boards on 4chan this makes it very difficult to discuss these less than popular manga that are still quite good, I'd call them hidden gems.

A slower board is far more suitable to the level of manga interest on 4chan and would allow for higher quality discussion and more manga to be discusses.
As it stands now manga is stuck int he shadow of anime on /a/ and it will never flourish as it could and should.
I hope you'll consider at least a test board for manga. I think it could work very well.

Cheers.

Not the person you were replying to obviously, but I have been applying every Janny drive since 2011 and never got a reply.

In general it seems nearly impossible to get hired for thi compared to how many Janitors and mods quit per year.

Who looks at applications, Hiro? How long have they been doing this?
>>
>>682875
No there is not a consensus. And frankly, any time someone who is for a manga board posts, it's met with swearing and childish name-calling and not actual counter-arguments.

Get a manga subforum, please Hiro.

>>682808
Hiro, a small and sensible request for the entire website:
Please get the mods and janitors to better enforce the rules. Especially Global Rules 3 and 6.
>>
>>682808
Hiro please consider a manga board.
I am somewhat biased as I much prefer manga to anime, but as /a/ is currently manga discussion is all but impossible with he exception of the very popular series. Manga readers on 4chan would be very happy with a manga board.

This is not true at all. It's just that no-one wants to discuss your manga.
>>
>>682880
I've had a Freezing thread deleted once.
>>
>>682881
Are you kidding me?
/m/ is a lot better than /a/.
>>
>>682881
It's because mecha is a genre of anime.

Manga and anime are just two mediums to tell stories. There's nothing superior or inferior about either.

This is why i think a manga subforum would work.

It would be just like /a/ but slower and only about stuff you read.
>>
>>682858
It doesn't because they are quite different since one is a genre type and the other is a medium. Both mecha manga and anime can be taken to /m/. With a manga board made people would push out any discussion of manga on /a/ and any anime discussion on the manga board causing more shitposting over when people bring it up in a thread. Even Pokemon threads have people trying to remove the discussion from /a/ back to /vp/ as another example.

>>682877
Any reduction of quality is on the road to ruin even if the board would survive.
>>
>>682808
I would like a board focused on manga because anime is much more popular in America so it drowns discussion of manga on 4chan.
Thanks!

>>682780
>how to ban generals?
Buy banning them? Simple as that. Mods ban people who make them or try to make threads similar to them and users tell people who make threads of their kind to fuck off. Increase education.

Yea, I bloody wish. That's never happening, I've tried tons of times and damn well know I'm knowledgeable and care. Also, doesn't that shit require you to provide personal real life information now? Fuck that.

1. DO NOT SPLIT /a/ OR MAKE A MANGA BOARD
Reason: A manga board would be slow and would quickly die off. There would be no discussion on it. At the same time, it would take manga threads from /a/, making it harder to discuss manga there. In short, a manga board would kill manga discussion.

2. DO NOT LISTEN TO THESE IDIOTS THAT ARE CALLING FOR BANS ON MANHWA
Reason: Manhwa has always been discussed on /a/. There has never been a change of policy on this. The people who are against it are a vocal minority of shitposters who just like spamming the word

>probably
He's literally the only person who wants gook in /a/ so he's obviously the OP.

There are only very few changes of /a/ that I could really support:
Make sage visible again.
Reduce bump limit (drastically).
Make bumps require a minimum of symbols written in the post body.

Additionally one could experiment with a complicated system of reducing bump limit to 50, but changing the rules so that sage posts don't count towards that limit anymore. Threads go on autosage after 24 hours. I don't know what that would mean for posting habits though. It would make regular threads with several thousand replies possible so long as no one bumps by accident. It would also enable people to bump threads to a quick death.

Like others in the thread I would like a manga board Hiro.
If you look at /m/ - mecha as an example you will find it often has higher quality posts and discussion when compared to /a/ it is also a slower board.
Much like /m/ a manga board could do very well with a slower post rate more inline with the number of people interested in it.
I hope I get to see it!

Yes, because we would be discussing it on a manga board. You are free to discuss anime as usual though.

>>682916
How many times do people have to explain this? /a/ isn't a "fast" board. This isn't /v/ or /pol/ where threads who don't get replies fall off the board in 30 mins or less. Threads on /a/ survive for hours after reach bump limit, so clearly the problem is people just don't want to talk about manga on /a/.
>>
>>682931
There's a lot of people who for some reason believe that their threads "fail" unless they reach the bump limit so they keep bumping them and even after all the discussion has long since been exhausted and everyone but them left the thread.

Hiro here's a suggestion,

make a board for gook shit and call it /gook/

Here is an example of a few general threads on /a/ which anons have wanted removed for a while now, years infact.
I will quote the post: >>>/a/147328798
1. Japanese learning general to either /jp/ or /int/
2. Buyfag general to /toy/.
3. Drawfag general to /ic/.
4. Exhentai general to one of the handful of porn boards.
5. Image dump threads to either /c/ or outright delete them.
6. Seiyuu 3DPD worship threads to /jp/.

1/2

1. The Japanese learning general, found here:
>>>/a/147406689
does not belong on /a/ as it is not about the discussion of anime and/or manga. The primary form of entertainment they discuss is Visual Novels/ エロゲ and the focus on the thread is language learning. Their interests are suited to the /jp/ board, while the topic itself is related to the international board, /int/. They also have a website of their own which they post in every thread and essentially exist simple as a means to promote their website.

2. The toy buying general, found here:
>>>/a/147401547
is a general thread which is about the discussion of buying mechanise, posting photos of their toys and discussing shipping costs. They also have their own website and guides. The thread is tangential to /a/ at best, though it acts more like a chatroom.

3. The drawfag general, found here:
>>>/a/147296917
to put it simply, belongs on the board that is dedicated to artists to post and discuss their artwork, which is /ic/. On /a/ they have created a circlejerk community mentality and the resident artists often use the thread as a means to promote their work and encourage anons to buy their work. This is essentially a form of undermining the advertisement policy on 4chan.

Manga board please.
/a/ - Anime & Manga does not live up to its name because anime is much much more popular on /a/.
Manga gets drowned out by all the anime! I personally like manga very much and it's frustrating not being able to discuss it very well on /a/. I think a manga board could work.

>>682939

This is a good idea but I'd make it so that if there was a sudden spike of posts from different countries, the autosage would be revoked. In case a thread flies under the radar until it's too late.

4. This is a general dedicated to the pornographic comic website, exhentai, which is found here:
>>>/a/147420213
It exists solely as a platform to post links to pornographic content and, as a group, masturbate together. There already exists multiple boards for drawn pornography, hence they should be moved to one of those as opposed to being a literal circlejerk, by proxy, as a consistent thread on /a/.

5. Image dump threads as usually threads which start off by the OP posting a lewd image along with some sort of set phrase, to encourage image dumps. Here are some examples:
>>>/a/147412940
>>>/a/147421780
>>>/a/147422800
These are commonly referred to as "template threads", due to their lazy and often copy/pasted format. They are often nothing but an excuse to dump images. There are already boards for image dumps, such as /c/.

6. 声優 threads, to put it simply, belong on /jp/. Here is an example:
http://desuarchive.org/a/thread/147144473/#147144473
They are distinctively 3DPD discussions with are almost always nothing but a group of obsessed anons talking about their favourite voice actors. That's fine, but that's what /jp/ is for. They even have these threads on /jp/, meaning there is no reason to have them on /a/. /a/ is for 2D, not 3DPD.
>>
>>682930
Holy shit, stop being triggered by shit that doesn't matter.
>>
>>682943
I do watch seasonal anime, but I will freely admit that I avoid fast threads. So there is definitely a side of /a/ that I am missing.
>>
>>682808
Do not split manga from /a/. Given the inherent relation between the two media, it's pointless to split them. Instead, I suggest allowing LN content on /a/, as well as maybe allowing chinese/korean stuff given that there is nowhere on the site to discuss it.

No, it would kill manga discussion on /a/. People would try to go to /ma/, but not be able to make successful threads there.

Again. Threads dont simply "fall off and disappear". It takes hours, hours during which people can bump the thread, start discussions, shitpost, do whatever they want in the thread. Threads fall off the board due to a lack of interest or discussion material, not speed

It would be deleted. The move there was forced and most /qst/ users find it lacking. If not deleted then fixed according to what has been suggested in their meta thread.

They are different mediums but they are basically the same industry. It is not possible to separate them. People who are into one medium are generally into the other as well. /a/ doesn't need to be split and every previously board split on other boards has killed them.

Manga discussion on /a/ these days is garbage pls fix.
I want to say that making a manga board would not result in "weaker" boards.
/a/ is one of the faster boards on 4chan and can easily make up the slack from most of the manga discussion moving to a different board. Like wise a manga board would be slower but that is not bad.
Look at boards like /ck/, /out/, and /k/ all are much slower than /a/ but have fine discussion and are very much alive.

Nice straw man fallacy. Go look up what that is before replying to me.

>Fuck off. A manga board is cancer and would kill manga discussion.
Oh look, you've run out of arguments and have resorted to swearing. That aside, how do you think that having an entire board dedicated to manga would kill manga discussion? (Bo nus points if you do it without getting mad and swearing like a 6 year who got headshot in CoD). /lit/ as shit as it may be, didn't actually kill off discussion because IT STILL THERE. /asp/ didn't kill off discussion about pro-wrestling because it's an entire board devoted to it. Hell, by your logic, /a/ shouldn't even work because it's... a board dedicated to anime which means anime discussion is dead... somehow.

>why should generals be removed
Generals are a reoccurring thread format of longevity and stagnation. They exist for no reason. They defy the ephemeral and constantly changing format of 4chan. They are a thread format that is literally about trying to live for some off chance of "discussion". Quoting discussion as this doesn't happen. Their entire purpose is to exist and exist and exist. Why does some anime from 5 years ago need a thread up 24/7? It doesn't, its there because its general and as such it needs to be up. Even for shit ongoing, why do they need a thread up 24/7? Why do they need someone up when they have NOTHING to discuss? I understand making threads out of the blue to discuss things, these are fine and are common. They also normally die in like 150 replies as people discuss and then leave as the discussion is over. If that was a general, it would hit bump limit as they would try to keep it going on forever.

This post is a mess and someone else better at this should probably do this. I'm not one for words.

Yes, it would. /ma/ would be as dead as /vr/ or /lit/, and it would take manga discussion from /a/.

The reasons of a single person do not represent the whole board even if they make sense. It's not like you'll have anyone else to talk with gookshit with you anyway so your threads will only be reported and killed on the spot.

Quests are a style of interactive writing where a Quest Master writes content and presents choices for a player audience to make. They are not a genre in itself; two quests can be entirely different in mechanics, writing style and content. They rely on their audience to sustain themselves and a great deal of a quest's audience comes from random users stumbling across the OP and deciding to check it out of curiosity. Quests were also rather niche on /tg/, with them only taking up around 8-11% of threads.

This meant that questing in itself didn't have enough of a population to sustain an entire board. This is shown by /qst/'s low board traffic. And since quests are currently isolated from the rest of 4chan and are harder to explain than 'cartoons' or 'television' it means that /qst/ doesn't have much of a way to attract new users. A lack of new users means a lack of audience, which is detrimental to questing as a whole since there won't be as much discussion and posting within the quest threads.

Add a mod who doesn't seem to be listening to feedback, who made the split without notifying anyone in advance and you've got a board whose users don't have a lot a faith in.

See this: >>>/qst/570135

tl;dr: quests are interactive fiction, /qst/ doesn't have many users and it's hurting quests, the mod running the show sucks

It's impossible to represent the opinions of an entire board, you dense fuck.

>>683045
I'm sorry but /a/ is far more important than /toy/, and having those certain generals on /a/ go against the rules which govern /a/ and in so damage the board. A little collateral for /toy/ would be for the greater good. Or outright deleting the general. Either way.

>You are 100% wrong
You are 1000% wrong. Go to those slow boards. Threads barely get a dozen replies. They don't have enormous threads, content, or good discussion. Threads die out without replies all the time, and the ones that get bumped quickly die out after.

> Nice straw man fallacy. Go look up what that is before replying to me.
Holy fucking shit, you literally misused a term that you're smugly accusing someone else of not understanding. Are you 12? Get the fuck out of here, underage faggot.

>Oh look, you've run out of arguments and have resorted to swearing.
Sorry if my profanity offends you, kid. /ma/ will take manga discussion from /a/, just like /vr/ took retro video game discussion from /v/ and placed them on a dead board. All knowledge we have shows that /ma/ will be disastrous for manga discussion.

If you love manga, it belongs on /a/. End of discussion.

Because it does. This isn't philosophy; it's reality.

People most fewer retro video game threads in /v/, because of /vr/. At the same time, /vr/ is dead.

Similarly, people would post to /ma/ instead of /a/, but /ma/ would die off quickly.

MANGA IS FOR /a/ AND /a/ ALONE. DO NOT SPLIT UP /a/.

/ma/ - Manga (I don't care what you actualy call it, I just want manga board please)
Hiro I'll warn you there are chunk of /a/ anons who will say no, this is because they do not read much manga if any so they do not know the struggle of being a primarily manga reader on /a/.
A manga board will not affect them or their anime threads they just want to control as much as possible under the name of /a/.

I would give you an example of this type >>682995 He has nothing to contribute to discussion except to call /ma/ cancer. Why? Because has no argument he just doesn't want people discussing manga and he doesn't want /a/ to change because change upsets him. Anon here has a good summary >>683052

It's not for my own end, anon. It's for the board. By these off topic generals existing on /a/, the board itself is being sacrificed in order to appease a hugbox.
The only people who want specific generals to remain are anons from those generals, making them the extreme minority. Why should the vast majority have to tolerate the extreme minority and their threads which technically belong on other boards? If they don't care about /a/, why should /a/ care about them?
>>
>>683035
If you want it simple.
Generals are a way to force a thread to be a format that isn't that compatible with 4chan's mechanics. This isn't a traditional forum, but keeping a thread up 24/7 is trying to replicate it and so to keep it alive and not drop off the board it stagnates with people forcing it with image dumps and shitty memes etc.

Maybe it would be a better idea to have hiro send the mods to boards to talk to the users. And I mean talk, not the mods wank off their own opinions and then report to hiro their own opinions. Because this apparently doesn't seem to be working this way.

>>683072
What is the fucking issue? That manga threads get archived too quickly? (around 1 hour at peak time) Please. We have the occasional Dandelion, Rokujouma, or Majikoi thread and those generally end up lasting a week or so, while moving about slowly as needed to have a discussion. Worst case scenario, just keep the thread bumped through peak time and then go back to taking your fucking time.

Manga board is what the manga readers of /a/ want.
I drew you a crappy picture explaining why it would be good. Notice the small amount of manga discussion (orange + pink) in /a/ box? Now look at how much additional manga would be discussed in a manga board, the /ma/ box.
For as long as manga is trapped on /a/ it will be stifled by the much more popular anime.
Please ignore anons like >>683078 all they can say is that it will "kill" /a/. This is crazy because manga discussion is only fraction of /a/'s threads. You coulld remove all manga and /a/ would not "die". Please Hiro.

>>683091
>would be a board too slow for most people to want to use.
Plenty of people use slow boards every day. There's more than just /a/, /v/, and /b/ these days anon.
>>
>>683065
/a/ will be destroyed for manga fans. Manga lovers have a right to post on /a/. If you make /ma/, they'll get fewer replies for manga threads on /a/. At the same time, /ma/ will be slow as fuck.

Manga belongs on /a/ and only on /a/.
>>
>>683072
>this is because they do not read much manga if any so they do not know the struggle of being a primarily manga reader on /a/.
Probably because most people on /a/ read both mediums. Fuck off.

WHY A MANGA BOARD IS A BAD IDEA - A short essay.

It would turn into a /vg/ clone while not attracting the same ammount of posters driving its quality to a lower standard that not even current /a/ has. The only proper argument that a /ma/ supporter has is that you can't talk about manga on /a/ because it's too fast. But that's a lie. /a/ has "story time" threads all the time and discuss manga chapters every time a new one is out. What they want is a chatroom to talk about that specific manga and other unrleated things all day, all night.

>>683054

We both know you don't believe that. You think /a/ > all. You just can't bear thought of /a/ "losing" something even though manga was never appreciated fully on /a/.
>>
>>683092
Posting meta shit isn't the point. The meta threads aren't even a majority of the catalog, even now when autists keep making them. That isn't to say meta threads aren't allowed here for containment purposes, but that's no reason to shit up the board with IDs and flags or other identifiers. One of the things that makes this board *good* is the lack of that stuff. Now you want to bring that stuff back because "this is too much like /q/" ? That doesn't make any sense to me.
>>
>>683089
Answer the fucking question.
How would having a board dedicated to manga, which would attract people who are dedicated to discussing manga, take away from the discussion of manga?

>>683091
>/ma/ would kill manga discussion on /a/ and would be a board too slow for most people to want to use.
Ah, so you don't actually give a shit about the quality of discussion, you just want to have a fast homeboard to draw all your interests into.

>>
>>683095

No? Cite me this cunt, because throughout the years I've been here, at least 98% of people who read manga want to stay on /a/.

>WAIT I'M NOT GETTING ANY REPLIES. OKAY, I WILL POST IT ON /ma/ INSTEAD.
>OH NO, I'M NOT GETTING ANY REPLIES HERE EITHER!
It's hard to make a manga thread as it is. If we split them between two boards, it will result in dead discussion on both.

>Quality over quanitity. I don't give a shit about about desire to have ADHD speed boards.
THERE IS NO QUALITY ON SLOW MOVING BOARDS

THERE IS NO GRAND DISCUSSION

GO TO /lit/

GO TO /ck/

97% OF THREADS DIE WITH ONLY A FEW DOZEN REPLIES

THAT IS NO WAY TO DISCUSS MANGA

>If a board specifically for manga was made for manga, manga would be for the manga board.
Factually incorrect. You are a disgusting human being and I hope you never post on 4chan again.

Manga lovers know that manga only goes on /a/.
>>
>>683095
>Manga board is what the manga readers of /a/ want.
Nobody wants that except you.
>I drew you a crappy picture explaining why it would be good.
The picture makes absolutely no sense.
>manga is trapped on /a/
This is a VERY stupid thing to say. Just because we have more anime threads does not mean that a manga board would be a good idea.
>manga discussion is only fraction of /a/'s threads
So it does not warrant a new board because there are "so few" threads?
>>
>>683078
./ma/ will kill /a/
No it won't. Anime is too popular. Once again, in one breath you idiots say it's not popular enough and then, in the next breath, you say it will kill /a/. which is it?

>end of discussion
No, just because you don't like what others say, doesn't mean you get to stop the discussion especially if you have given no good reason as to why you think you are right.
>>
>>683098
No, this is true.
>>
>>683100
That would be if the only manga discussion on /a/ came from threads dedicated to manga. Removing manga also removes the discussion from anime threads as well due to how closely tied together they are.

No, it would turn into a /vr/ clone and be even more dead.

But I completely agree with you that /ma/ would be a nightmare.

>>683103
I can make a manga thread on /a/ right now and get replies. If /ma/ existed, I would have two boards that wouldn't reply to my manga threads. Manga discussion is only possible because /ma/ doesn't exist.
>>
>>682753
Hiro I want to rebut anon >>683101
He says it would turn into a /vg/ clone, this is not true. You would only have to moderate the faster threads to stop this. Bad generals like on /vg/ don't happen on slow boards.
He also says "/a/...discuss manga chapters every time a new one is out" this is not true. Just look at
Kanojo wa Rokurokubi which hasn't had a chapter thread in months even though it is relatively popular and ha regular translations being released.

See: this is krux. You view /a/ as some monolith you are apart of and do not want changed. You merely want to be part of something larger than yourself and feel better about your existence of this entirely arbitrary facet. Face it: you aren't here for the discussion, you're here for the hugbox factor. Go be a self entitled manchild somewhere else. Someone us actually give a shit about the quality of discussion, and at the moment /a/ is fucking terrible for the most part.
>>
>>683105
>Ah, so you don't actually give a shit about the quality of discussion
Say this to yourself, faggot. I go to slow moving boards, and you can't talk about anything. There is too small a pool of people there for niche interests to be recognized.

Try making a sous vide thread on /ck/. Try making an adventure novel thread on /lit/ Try making a Star Control thread on /vr/. You can't.

However, I could go to /a/ and make a thread about an 80s manga and get a decent amount of replies. That's because the pool of people on /a/ is big enough that I will find people with similar interests and reading experiences.

>>682808
I am just going to leave this here before I sage back to /a/ where I belong.

I dont believe that making another board is a good idea. But as it stands I see more 'generals' of certain anime series that is popular or has a adaptation.

What does need to happen is that threads that are created have a issue with shitposting - off topic posting/intentional spamming/heavy baiting for replies -

KanColle is an example of this - a movie is coming for this game to anime series.

All I have seen is nothing but image spam with no manga translations much less any discussions of anime or manga.
spamming of a character known as Kaga is enough to where it has become toxic. Yuri spaming is also well known in this thread, theres also spamming of non-anime/manga related images and subject as well.

Personally have put in reports of this only to get warned and banned for trying to report any rule breakers with in these threads. I have personally volunteered to be a Janitor/mod for this only to be declined. if anything needs to be suggested is the quality of mods/janitors needs to be improved before making any other boards.

And the majority of boards suck. You don't use them, but I do. I know how frustrating they are.

Let's just say that, at any given time, 10000 people are lurking /a/. I don't pretend that that's an accurate number, but just go with it for this discussion. Out of those 10000, I'm likely to find people who have read the same manga as me. Now pretend there was an /ma/. At best, 1000 people would be lurking at the same time. That would reduce my chances of finding someone with the same taste in manga as me by an order of magnitude. So if I go post my favorite manga to /a/, I will get replies. But if I post it to /ma/, I will get no replies.

This isn't rocket science. More posters = more who want to talk about the same things as you. Fewer posters = fewer people who want to talk about the same things as you.

There is no such this as a test split. Splitting a board is a permanent thing, you don't get to trial it. You are splitting a fucking community in two. Once you do it, its effects are permanent. If the split is done, it stays forever and can't be reversed. No, its impossible to reverse just the same as its impossible to actually put /jp/ back into /a/.

Hiro is an admin. I'm pretty sure he doesn't need public IDs to be able to tell our posts apart. If anything, people are less likely to change IP when public IDs aren't available, so he's more likely to see who's samefagging and who isn't.

Are you mentally retarded? The smaller a board is, the harder it is to find people with similar interests. A small board is more likely to talk about more known things than niche things. A /ma/ board won't fix anything and will only make shit worse and decrease post quality.

Doesn't matter if it's getting 1% of the traffic of /a/. 20% of a huge number is more than 100% of a small number.

There are more people on /a/ who want to talk about my favorite manga than there would be on /ma/.

And yet, so many times the people who want a manga board have said that it's these very huge number of people on /a/ that kick their threads to the archives that are the problem. We want a slower moving board so this doesn't happen, so threads we make actually stay active.

Not that I'd expect you to pay attention to anything that doesn't directly support your argument even though it directly refutes it.

Hiro, it should be obvious /a/ doesn't really want or need to be split into new boards, and some few people are forcing this idea hard just because they think you're gullible and might actually do it. It would destroy /a/ as we know it.

Some guy is using some poll that maybe 200 people voted on (out of a userbase of million+), as grounds for what he claims "official new rules" for the board, trying to dictate a bunch of sweeping changes, including things no one really cared about or talked about much before he started forcing them as "relevant" issues. I hope you're wise enough to ignore him.

Many of these people arguing about this on /qa/ might not even post on /a/ normally; check back their IP histories before your request.
>>
>>683197
Have you considered that some people both read manga and watch anime, and that splitting those across two boards would be retarded when they are so closely related? We would probably end up with some stupid rule like "you can discuss manga on /a/ if it has an adaptation" and that would quickly be expanded to stuff people hope will get an adaptation and everything will be SHIT.

Come on on anon.
Red is direct meta with asking for rule/board changes or asking for something to be banned etc.

/ma/ is a bad idea. Even anime original stuff gets a few manga, especially Comedic ones, so it makes no sense to cut the board in two.

I think LN should be limited to ones that are part of franchises that got an anime, manga or threads discussing the possibility of certain LNs getting a show.

/a/ retro isn't a bad idea though. A slower board to talk about older shows could be stimulating. Hard rules though, it should be limited to stuff from 60s to 80s and not some kid wanting to talk about DBZ

I would rather not have a separate manga board. Animu and Manga is often so intertwined I think it would hamper both to force separation.
>>
>>683224
I disagree. Given how manga encompasses many genres and has some overlap with /a/, I think it would be a thriving slower board that would contribute to making manga more popular and supporting anime by encouraging interest in source material.

We will have to agree to disagree here, otherwise we will go in circles.

Thanks for sharing your opinion in a non-retarded manner though.

/a/ is pretty much fine as it is. It most certainly does not need a manga board or a general board equivalent to /vg/. My only real complaint about /a/ is that mods can be too abusive in throwing their banhammers around due to how vague some of the criteria is.

No, LN still belong on /a/. It is incredibly common for LN's to be adapted to both. Or more, LN's themselves are basically based around anime and manga culture. It's apart of the same shit. There is zero reason why it can't go on both /jp/ and /a/ other than people needsly rulefagging about stupid shit and trying to limit content and place stupid restrictions. It should be allowed on /a/.

I don't think that thread size means good content, chief. Calm down. I mean that keeping things on the active forum allows for deeper conversation for said unpopular shit. If you had a slower moving forum for the threads you post, more people would be interested because they could contribute.

Many times, I've wanted to contribute to threads like yours as well, only to find them archived. Sure, i could make another thread, but if it only gets a few replies until its archived then that's not very good conversation now is it?

If you have a dynamic IP router or you're posting from a phone with airplane mode you're still on the same IP range, which I assume they can detect, since they regularly dish out range bans. I think its safe to assume that even the most naive mod would be able to tell samefaggotry if there's a bunch of pro-/ma/ posts made by different iPs from e.g. the same obscure region of Czechia.

I guess it might be possible to fool them by using a different proxy every single time but that might be too much effort since I assume 99.99% of publicly available proxies are banned.

Point them out then. As talking/complaining about 4chan, its culture and policies is meta no matter how you want to look at it. There are also around 20 pony threads alone.
The board is basically the same as /q/ was. Only thing slightly new is the 4chan happenings thread as I don't remember that existing on /q/ at the time.

>In any case, why do you want this place to go back to being /q/?
Rather it was deleted since it is too far gone. Hiro basically made it in to /q/ by actually replying so people think there is a chance of being heard and so others flocked to it to use it as /q/ which spawns more meta threads. If it is here to stay though some kind of regulation is needed.

>>683254
For one thing, a manga board won't increase the amount of anime covered by /a/, because the freed space wil be taken up by generals. Secondly, there will be stupid rules because there are always stupid rules. People whine about discussion of their favorite manga adaptation getting deleted on /ma/? Discussion of manga getting made into anime is now allowed on the manga board, and it's all downhill from there.

>>683307
Many of the most popular things on /a/ revolve around manga. Jojo, One Piece, Monmusu etc. What are you going to do then, arbitrarily have threads for these things on both boards? You would have to. So, why fucking split it in the first place then? Many series are immediately compared to the manga when their anime air. It is integral to discussion of anime. It would be like not being allowed to talk about the Game of Thrones books at all for discussing the show on /tv/ because we have /lit/. That's not how it works.

Lastly, the one poll that one asshole OP forced all those threads for concluded to NOT merge/split anything, that is, leave /a/ as it is as a board. That poll is invalid for one, but even if it wasn't, still no such split would have come of it. So, this whole thing is literally just you forcing "split the board because I say so", an even weaker excuse that clearly gets a lot of pushback shouting no.

And what would be stopping people from making a million waifu threads on a manga board?

He would if he actually had any idea of what he is doing. Moot was smart to go away because he knew he had become completely out of touch with the community he runs and therefore was no longer qualified to make any proper decisions.

>>

They very much do. Retro threads are uncommon and pretty lively. They just aren't constant because they can't be. Because you can't always talk about them. A retro /a/ is a retarded idea and would never work. It would last at best 2 weeks before dying a painful death. This isn't video games, there isn't much to talk about with anime and not many things are NGE.

A retro board is retarded and a bad idea for many reasons. The notion that retro anime isn't talked about on /a/ is something that is outright ignorant.

A good number of users in /co/ and /tv/ want the creation of a board that contains all the live action comic/cartoons adaptations, the reasons behind it is that those movies/shows flood the board everytime there is a new about it and people use the subject of live action movies/shows to create "console wars", or in this case company wars, which have already been banned in /v/.

No it won't. If you want that, start the drive yourself. Don't fucking ask for a new board just so you can hope someone "might" do it. It won't happen. If you want it to occur, start it yourself, whether that means translating yourself or making threads on /a/ to increase interest.

Nothing to explain.
/tg/ is infested by off-site normies who were attracted by /tg/'s old memes.

I read more manga than I watch anime, but I think /a/ should stay both anime and manga.

Anime and Manga are often to intertwinned to seperate. I see a day when someone is discussing a manga and the anime is brought up, only to be hounded and banned for doing it in the wrong board.
Or people are talking about anime so people bring up the manga and the same thing happens.

This.

There is absolutely no need for a manga board. I discuss manga I read all the time on /a/, usually when a new chapter comes out. People who complain about being unable to read manga are in most cases newfag retards who don't know when new chapters are released and aren't present for the threads about them.

Here's an idea. How about you idiots learn moonrunes and translate the manga you like?

Hell then after that you can have live translations on /a/ to even further drive interest. The biggest spikes of interest in a flavor of the month manga on /a/ always occurs because there's suddenly a surge in translations. Oh your manga is already over? Don't know moon? Go full autist and have a storytime thread everyday. Go to a different thread about something tangentially related to a manga you like and mention the manga there in hopes of finding like minded anons who've heard of it or at least get them to read it as well.

Don't be fucking retarded. Jesus Christ. People argue how /a/nons are one of the most autistic motherfuckers to interact with but on the contrary, /a/ is like one of the easiest boards to discuss shit with if you aren't completely braindead.

>>682808
/a/ is fine the way it is. Don't listen to short-sighted people who want to make all too sudden changes, like splitting the board. I've been browsing 4chan since 2004 and there were times when the board was really in trouble. Right now it is not in trouble however. Don't change a running system without there being a very good reason for it.

Creating a dedicated manga board is not a good idea in my opinion. I discuss manga on /a/ all the time. Certainly, manga is not as popular as anime and threads only pop up when a new chapter is released, but if one keeps track of when that happens one can discuss manga on /a/. Not to mention that even in-between releases one can do so (though it's harder due to people having discussed the chapter already). A dedicated board would not solve this problem. Threads would stick around longer due to less traffic, but they wouldn't get more replies. In fact, they might even get less replies, since most people who by chance are around at the time the thread is started are busy browsing /a/ and aren't even exposed to it.

Learning the language for a hobby that hobby is based on is hardly no reason. It literally will improve your experience with it and increase your knowledge. It will also allow you to do more than read the most popular shit. There is no reason to not learn jap if you have anime or manga as your interest. There is zero fucking reasons, don't bullshit me.

No, it won't.

Splitting /a/ is a retarded idea and it's not going to happen just because a minority of retards is whining.

So manga will go on /ma/ and anime will stay on /a/
What happens if i want to bring up the manga associated with an anime on /a/? Will the mods shit on me? Will i be told to fuck off to /ma/?
How about shows whose manga aren't adaptations but side stories? What the fuck do i do with those? Do i pretend the events of the anime didn't happen when i post on /ma/? How will that work?
What if i want to post a smug cutout from a manga on a /a/ like a giant autistic faggot?

Do whatever you want, it's your board now but if you do split /a/, this is what concerns me the most. I'm afraid mods and anons with a hateboner for manga will enforce this division indiscriminately

Don't worry about it, it very likely won't happen.

Even if hiro trusted that one strawpoll by that one guy making seemingly all those meta threads on /a/, which is by the way the same one he is basing his arbitrary "official new rules" off of, then that poll still had the most votes for no new merges/splits.

What you're seeing is a vocal, extremely fucking naive minority who doesn't understand why it's a needless change as it only complicates discussion on /a/ and would generate a menagerie of near-clones of threads already on /a/, as the most popular manga also tend to have anime.

Anime adaptations also have a strong halo effect of bringing interest into the source material, which then goes from unknown in the dark to a new hotness in the limelight for translators to jump on. There are many other reasons why it's a senseless change, really there is no strong case for splitting anything out of /a/ anymore. We already have over a dozen tangentially-related boards.

I'm not the one who keeps posting that retarded graphic but I can see why a split wouldn't be such a bad idea. You're looking at it as if one would kill the other but consider the following:

- manga board would also have LNs and could be /atxt/ - Manga & Light Novels
- franchise threads in general would still go to /a/, like merchandise threads, personality and author threads or adaptation threads. What would go to /atxt/ would be chapter threads or manga and novel discussion itself
- animeonlyfags would be able to enjoy adaptations without being spoiled and whining about it
- manga and novelfags would be able to talk to each other without hiding their posts behind walls of text
- unpopular manga threads would stay alive for a while longer
- scanlation, storytime, one page threads and the like would be moved to /atxt/
- image posting could be changed so that image dumps in /atxt/ would be easier

It's not really a split, it'd be like /a/'s literate twin.

Create a separate manga board.
reasons
1. The anime part of of /a/ is so fast it takes up 99% if not more of the board
2. /a/ being fast causes lots of manga threads to go unnoticed and eventually die mostly because most of /a/ users don't read manga
This is the particular reason why most /a/dolescents will tell you they don't need a manga split. while the truth is, they don't read manga. so their opinion shouldn't matter

They may argue that the board will be dead while the truth is that won't be the case. A lot of posters want to discuss manga but don't do it on /a/ because
1. there is no space for it
2. the ones that are mostly discussed there are shitty generals no one likes

If you don't want, you can make it a trial board for one week and see how it develops. delete it after that if you don't like


Also remove wrestling from /asp/. you don't put a general from fast board to a slow board. either move it to /tv/ or give it its own board

>- animeonlyfags would be able to enjoy adaptations without being spoiled and whining about it
This is not going to happen because plenty of people enjoy spoiling others. If you don't want to be spoiled: stay out of threads.

>- manga and novelfags would be able to talk to each other without hiding their posts behind walls of text
This is not going to happen either because the people who watch the anime will also browse the manga/novel board. These aren't different groups of people but they recruit from the same pool.

>- unpopular manga threads would stay alive for a while longer
Which serves absolutely NO benefit because unpopular threads don't get magically more replies by sticking around longer and festering. People brought the same arguments when /vg/ was created in regards to niche games like flight simulators. Do you think it helped one bit? No, it didn't. You don't get more replies in simulator threads on /vg/ than you do on /v/. You get LESS because the people interested in this kind of thing don't stick around all day on a slow moving board and wait for someone to reply. On /v/ the threads die faster but they accumulate more replies in absolute numbers.

The solution is not to create a new board but to start more threads. There's nothing to keep you from starting threads about the same topic at multiple points in time. I do it all the time when I want to discuss a manga in-between releases.

>It's not really a split, it'd be like /a/'s literate twin.
It's going to take content out of /a/ and rob /a/ of a fraction of its userbase. This is not a good idea and it's not going to help. The problem is not the board, the problem is that too few people are interested in what you want to discuss and moving it to a different place isn't going to solve the problem because absolute numbers won't increase. As I said before: they're going to generate even LESS replies because the userbase is split over two locations.
>>
>>683553
Refer to >>683566.

I discuss manga on /a/ all the time and you're delusional if you think people are going to discuss your obscure niche manga on a niche board with you.

If you don't find anyone to talk to on a big board with a huge userbase like /a/, you won't find anyone on a slow ass niche board either. And if you want the same discussions to stick around for weeks you might as well go look for a regular forum, not for an imageboard.

>>682808
Don't listen to >>683553. Don't split /a/.
>>
>>682808
Create no separate manga board.
1. The anime part of /a/ also likes to discuss the manga version in the same thread.
2. /a/ could handle manga threads for 12 years and the board has been getting slower in the recent years.
Most people who only want manga or anime in a board are really new here or mentally ill, their opinion shouldn't matter

They may argue that the manga board will not be a bad idea but that won't be the case. Most of these new anons don't even know that
1. you can discuss the manga even though the thread is about the anime
2. just don't know who to make good threads because they are new here and don't understand board culture yet

Please don't make a trial board, it will be one of the biggest shitstorms of /a/.
>>
>>683565
This.

These are literally the same kinds of whiners who caused the /jp/ split. They dreamt of all kinds of great changes. In fact the discussion of less popular anime and manga was one of the reasons why they advocated in favour of the /jp/ split. I told them back then already that it wasn't going to happen but they wouldn't listen. All that happened was that valuable content was taken out of /a/. It didn't improve /a/ one bit.

Splitting /a/ is a stupid idea and it's not going to help because the issues they perceived aren't caused by the board but by their niche interests that too few people share.
>>
>>682208
As always: MODERATE THE BOARDS.

Adding new boards or adjusting the rules is useless if the current boards and rules are not being adequately enforced. Site-wide, moderation has been in severe decline, and has been for a while, and people are taking notice. 4chan is severely under-moderated. Fixing this should be the absolute #1 priority for this website.

We cannot allow ourselves to get distracted by argumentative and superficially constructive-sounding policy changes when the entire moderation system is as broken as it is. 99% of the problems listed above could be resolved through consistent, fair, and sufficient moderation.

Recruit more mods, train them properly, and ensure they act swiftly and consistently. Everything else is nice but ancillary to this central need.
>>
>>683566
>the people who watch the anime will also browse the manga/novel board
Doubt it. In adaptation threads most animeonlyfags don't care about the source material even when it's translated. Besides if you go out of your way to visit the manga and novel thread then you have to be up to date with the chapters. You can't complain about being spoiled in that board but you can complain about being spoiled in the anime board.

>unpopular threads don't get magically more replies by sticking around longer
They do anon. Not everyone browses /a/ the whole day every day. Sometimes a manga you like had a thread while you were sleeping but it died in the meantime. I don't know how the vidya boards work but it's easy for a manga thread to go unnoticed in /a/ depending on the time or day of the week. And people who read manga are used to wait months between chapters so I doubt they would mind waiting a week to get a reply in their thread.

>going to take content out of /a/ and rob /a/ of a fraction of its userbase
It will make space for more anime related threads and more manga related threads. You would have double the threads to browse if you like both watching and reading. How is that a bad thing? Just because there are two boards it doesn't mean you can't browse both. It only means you can do it more comfortably.

>too few people are interested in what you want to discuss
You're contradicting yourself anon. If it's so little then why are you saying that it will take content out of /a/ and would rob its userbase? If so few people are interested then it wouldn't make any difference.

I understand you dislike change but we could make a trial board for this and test it. There's nothing like testing things to see how wrong or good they would be.

Split /jp/:
/jp/ is split in two kinds of users, the ones that keep themselves in general threads and the ones who want it to be a "虹裏" kind of board mostly composed of the old userbase. Therefore we can't reach a consensus since both parties would be affected by any big changes.

Many of us agreed that splitting the board would bring the old users back and would solve the problem with what's allowed on /jp/ and what is not.

>>683574
That's what I'm concerned about, certainly the imageboards need more moderation, especially on the faster boards, /pol/, /a/, ect.

However there probably only needs to be a few mods to scan the "Frontier" with boards that are really slow, so things like /t/, /po/ and /diy/ could probably be grouped together into places where a single mod could feasibly moderate a few boards at once. Hopefully they learn the culture there in order to moderate better, rather than just ignoring the culture there.

Also I'd like to say that just due to the current posting limits (can only post an OP every 10 minutes with a limit of 5 threads per person, so a little over 1 hour to post 5 threads, not including the time it takes to find a flash not posted in the previous 24 hours) and it's sheer obscurity, /f/ is well protected from any spammers.
>>
>>682808
Manga fans want a manga board because they think they're discussions are over taken by anime discussions.

Anime fans don't want a manga board because they don't want /a/ to become like /v/, split up to a bunch of random boards for not much reason.

I'm neutral on this but I definitely it so that even even there's a separate board that manga can still be talked about on /a/ (and mech series, cute girls, and LNs that /a/ is the "home board" and that it's offshots are "sub-boards).

Fuck every last one of you little shitposting faggots who turned /a/ into a passive aggressive safe space for narcissistic manchild. Of course you don't want decent moderation or shitty generals removed; they're the only fucking reason why you use /a/.

I've no different from /v/: say the "wrong thing" and a dozen spergs shitpost the entire thread to death as an attempt to maintain the status quo.

Plenty of manga and anime discussion going on already and board traffic is good. Splitting it is unnecessary and idiots will turn it into a new shitposting meme.

>Declare light novels okay in /a/
They have always been around in /a/ but different mods have different opinions. Lots of light novels have been adapted into anime and lots more will be adapted into anime in the future. Manga is like that too so there is no reason not to include it in /a/. It's silly to exclude it when the user overlap between anime, manga and light novels is huge.

Make it easier for people to search for threads. Have the subject field autocomplete suggestions based on currently live thread titles so anons know if there's already one up and prevent multiple new episode reaction threads.

Most people agreed with most of it, so I'll repost it below.

>This faggot is ban evading by the way.
Fuck you. No, I am not.

1. Improve consistency of guidelines from board to board. Threads about our anime/manga collection and what we should watch next are considered "blogging" here and deleted/banned, but similar threads (collections and recommendations) are acceptable on other boards, like /k/. Inconsistent application of guidelines leads to confusion and resentment, especially when sneaky moderation tactics like "auto-sage" are used on threads that have not yet hit any bump limits.

2. Mods should stop abusing short bans and should take ban appeals more seriously instead of blanket denying/blocking all appeals with no transparency.

3. Bring back ability to delete own OP on all boards, eliminate requirement to delete posts before they become "too old to delete."

4. Bring back OP's ability to bump own threads. The unique IP meter is a good enough indicator of samefagging. There is no need to prevent OPs from bumping their own threads.

5. Bring back visible sage and educate people what it means.

6. Bring back ability to announce reports and sages.

7. Mods should stop micro-managing conversations by deleting short shitposts that no one cares about and which don't actually disrupt the thread.

8. Bring back a /z/ board where people can go if they are banned for infractions other than CP and post with no rules or post-timers.

9. Bring back /l/ where we can post lewd loli images. Trying to make /l/ threads work on /b/ is like being marooned on a desert island. Spam and non-enthusiasts filling the thread make for a bad environment, and the speed that /b/ moves means that threads die quickly and few /l/olikons hang around long.

10. Eliminate SFW requirement on /a/.

You people don't even understand that 4chan doesn't control what kinds of street signs or wavy words appear in Captcha. That's a Google service. Google controls what kinds of text are in their Captcha, and most of it is automated, not even under their direct supervision.

>It'll be like v and vg. A lot of hate at first but it will clean a lot of shit pretty quicky
So you mean, it'll effectively kill /a/ and make it a former shell of itself? Good advice, no. Containment doesn't contain, generals included and general boards contain the least. It spills everywhere.

Is this what they call being deluded? I see nothing of the sort and only disagreement.

Honestly the not announcing it ahead of time is what pissed me off the most.

No warning whatsoever, just one day they're accepted and the next out to the curb.

>Durr there was the sticky retard

That sticky lost any credibility when people still posted quests on /tg/ not only without any repercussions, but also the mods actively still deleting posts that shitposted about people not moving to /qst/
