I support anything that pisses off the pedos
I think we need an /a/ equivalent to /pol/harbour. Purge it.

>>856927
This happens every so often, mods need to earn their hotpockets so they usually go apeshit like this after they've inactive for a long time. Just wait a month or so and things should go back to normal.
On the upside, if we're lucky enough they might realize how much shitposting (especially from /qa/, why is this board still alive) their current actions are causing and try to hold back in the future.

>>856967
I've seen what looks like many of the same posters here that I've seen shitposting on /a/ about this.

Honestly makes me suspect some kind of crossboarding raid.

>>856967
>On the upside, if we're lucky enough they might realize how much shitposting (especially from /qa/, why is this board still alive) their current actions are causing and try to hold back in the future.
Yeah, optimism.

>>856979
It's obviously /pol/-affiliated mods and posters trying to get us back for /pol/harbor, cf >>856963

>>856967
>especially from /qa/
This never ceases to amaze me. Just like /pol/ you're convinced a couple dozen people are influencing and shaping your board from the shadows. Fucking hilarious.

>>857004
>>857005
I highly doubt that. Why would /pol/ raid /a/? they are too busy sucking each other off about the election and current happenings.

Is this some kind of /qa/ meme?

>>857012
No, they're convinced /qa/ is raiding /a/ just like /pol/ thought /qa/ was raiding them. /qa/ is the CTR/JIDF headquarters and now I guess we need to add MAL to it.

>>857012
>Why would /pol/ raid /a/
because they attracted a huge amount of people that are new to the site that think they have a say on other boards, similar to how they do in the modern version of /b/ through gets and other stupid shit they masquerade as memes.

>>857012
>Why would /pol/ raid /a/?
Why wouldn't they? They can't keep themselves from /pol/posting on /a/ under normal circumstances, let alone with mods egging them on.

It's an empirical fact at this point, desu

>>857018
So I just checked /pol/ and theres nothing about an /a/raid in the catalog or the archive.

Are yuri threads not allowed on /a/ anymore? There was one a few days ago which started with "Why does /a/ like yuri so much?" or something like that, and it was deleted twice.

>>857028
I doubt it's any sort of "raid", but /pol/ leakage is severe lately. Instead of dissipating back to social media after the election, they're dissipating and shitting over the rest of the boards. If only moot were here.

>>857040
Yeah , it's not a raid, it's the overflow effect, which is far worse as it the passive result of /pol/ being a gateway board for newfags who haven't cut their teeth on /b/.

>>856960
Every one of these changes has destroyed the respective thread.

>>857052
Sounds like nothing was lost.

>>857053
>I didn't complain when it was /mlp/ because they were cancer.
>I didn't complain about DJT because they were like generals
>I didn't complain until they came for me

>>857055
Yes that's what both /pol/ and /a/ live and parade around. Nice to see it finally biting one of them in the ass.

>>857055
When they come for me I'll be gone.

>>857052
>has destroyed the respective thread
So fucking what?
Threads aren't entitled to having a community and their safe space on a catalogue. The threads should have been "destroyed" the moment they fell of page ten for the first time.

Boards are lobbies for chatrooms.

>>857055
Stop trying to make out that these were injustices, you dishonest clown.

>>857061
>threads are chatrooms with a shelf life
>shelf life ends
>people still want to talk so they make a new chatroom

whats so hard to understand about this?

>>857064
DJT did absolutely nothing wrong, it was an injustice.

>>856927
Fuck off generalfag, fuck off of /a/. Any mod nuking generals is a hero.

> These series cant be discussed on the board anymore
You never discussed them in the first place.

>>856927
Regardless, Mods on /a/ actually need to do something with /pol/ related posts on there. Im getting tired of seeing threads being shit up with unrelated crap, & the jannies & mods do nothing about it.

>>857197
There needs to be a new global rule with a global announcement that politics of all stripes goes to /pol/ and nowhere else.
It's an implied rule everywhere, but with the fresh wave of idiots that /pol/ brought over from social media maybe there needs to be more visible.

>>856927
this is what we've always wanted though, things are finally getting back to how they were years ago, /a/ always wanted more moderation so to reinforce it's beliefs that a board and it's members should follow a set of rules set by those who came before and that if you don't agree you don't belong, leave the boards who don't actually care for moderation to have there way but don't include /a/ in that group

>>856938
You're not being clear at all, mods started to delete generals, which thank fucking christ, and started allowing "general threads" again which or threads that don't have to have a specific topic to them when op starts one, which used to be way more common until that last couple years, it got up to the point you would just have constant crying from newfags if you tried to make anything new or without a topic and the mods just started deleting them outright eventually, so yeah thank fuck things are getting back to normal it's about fucking time

>>856967
it's way more frequent now, there was another stint like this back in may/june-ish, compared to the years of fucking nothing before and a little while after moot gave up site

>>856963
>he fell for the pedo meme

>>857061
this, if you need a hand full of threads if a single one isn't good enough, and I don't mean one after another new />>>/shit here is cancer outside of event shit but O mean actually picking up a recurring topic until of full topic or event is sussed out, then fine go ahead, but when that shit continues day after day, week after week, year after year, then you have a fucking problem and thats when interventions are in order, you fuckers brought this on yourselves

Is there ANY reason why Re:Zero threads shouldn't be deleted and moved to /jp/?

LNs are not anime and manga. All LNs, VNs and the like belong in /jp/.

>>857489
It has several manga adaptations ongoing

>>857387
You and I both know those generals will be dumped onto /jp/.

>>857193
Now thats absolutely wrong, discussion did occur, you just dont like the material being discussed.

>>857497

Fate threads and Muv-Luv threads are being deleted despite having anime adaptations.

>>857064
>>857068
DJT has been on /a/ for as long as i can remember and it makes sense to be there since people would like to enjoy anime and manga why wouldn't they try to learn the language. I don't think it was a good idea to move them, it makes less sense on /int/

>>857384
We don't want a fucking safe space we want somewhere to chat about whatever it is we're chatting about. How is removing them making anything better?

>>857489
because it's anime and manga? it has to be fucking airing now for us to have a discussion about it? Christ has /a/ and 4chan fallen this far. i've been gone from /a/ for maybe a year now and now everything has just gone to shit.

If hiro would just say if general threads are allowed on /a/ or not there wouldn't be so much shitposting about it.

>>857823
Hiro flip flopped over the whole nipples thing for like 10 threads causing lots of frustration, so I wouldn't bank on his opinion meaning much.
Also not all generals are banned, they are just got a warning to improve quality and restructure right now from what the mod has posted in some of the threads.

>>857689
text field is needed because mods don't always get the context of how the rule is being broken

>threads with template OPs getting deleted too
Why? OPs are only meant as discussion starters, so they often use lines popular in the board to quickly attract the attention of people who want to talk about something. Do OPs need to be elaborate topic setters that only allow discussion about one specific thing now? Why are mods listening to /qa/ whiners who pretend they're janitors and post huge lists of threads they (and only they) find offensive along with a sequence of lines that are popular on /a/?

>>858112
Nobody on 4chan except hiro is dumb enough to blindly listen to /qa/. They have their own opinions.

>>858112
>defending template threads
Holy shit, fuck right off. No seriously, fuck off. Template threads are a cancer equal to generals. Op is meant to be a discussion starter, but this isn't a traditional forum. Template threads don't belong here.

Please kill yourself, there is no functional way to actually be able to excuse the existence of template threads unless you enjoy the cesspools that is generals.

DJT was literally fine.
I posted there before, but by now I pretty much haven't been there for years.
There was always new discussion to be had, because learning Japanese is an inherently complex topic with lots of nuances to discuss, which helps prevent the "general rot". Also, the thread in general always had newcomers coming in, since lots of people only decided to learn Japanese by noticing the thread.
Also, their guide is fucking best, their custom-made resources are fucking best, they are generally helpful when asked good questions and reference the guide or quickly summarise the thread opinion on dumb ones, they rarely affect other threads, the primary method of learning is assumed to be reading untranslated manga and VNs, the primary goal of learning is assumed to be reading untranslated manga and VNs, and the threads are pretty consistently more discussion than memes.
I literally have no idea what the hell these guys did wrong. Maybe I'm just deluded, but I always thought they were like the poster child of what general needs to be to not be shit.

>>858146
No it wasn't. It was a general, as such, it needed to be removed. Nor did the thread avoid the nature of generals because there was "always new content". You just admitted you hadn't used it for years. It was just another fucking cancerous general and was mostly people who weren't even /a/ and glancing into the thread, people who didn't even like /a/ or anime/manga. They had a fucking spat over using a anime image as the fucking op image for fuck sake.

It also never belonged on /a/. It was only ever put on /a/ in hopes in would encourage people to learn the language. This never really happened and there was a board that existed at the time of its creation that much better suited the threads needs. If /djt/ is to exist, it needs a /lang/ text board, not a fucking general on /a/. Simple as that.

>You just admitted you hadn't used it for years.
I was checking it out every couple of months out of nostalgia. I really liked this thread.
You don't need much time to know the quality of the thread if you've been posting in it before. They were still alright, I think. There were a bit more "generic" posts than I remembered when I was actively visiting it, but not enough to overwhelm discussion or even be a bother.
>It was just another fucking cancerous general
And I argued it was exactly a case of general that isn't inherently cancerous. If you've been there, explain what was cancerous about it.
>Nor did the thread avoide the nature of generals because there was "always new content"
Why? My argument is that's exactly what happened.
>This never really happened
Happened to me. I literally noticed this thread by accident while browsing /a/, and was blown away by quality of OP guide and advice. It inspired me to study after a long time where I have been struggling to filter out good resources and methods, and here it was, just sitting there.
In the end, I didn't learn Japanese, though. But it was probably because that was about the time my uni problems started.
>If /djt/ need to exist, it needs a /lang/ text board
I feel it would survive there, but the thread demographics would massively shift.
>not a fucking general on /a/
And yet it was good as a general on /a/ too, and it's the place which it fits its posters the best.
The places where it probably won't survive? /int/ and /jp/. /int/ would slowly dilute it with its retarded posters, and /jp/ doesn't want DJT.

>>858178
Do not frisk my posts.

Also, yes, generals are inherently cancer as they are anti-chan.

>>858181
>Do not frisk my posts
Sorry, my English is failing me here.
>generals are inherently cancer
Why? The argument is they are cancer because they have no new discussion. I just discussed why this doesn't apply to DJT. Or are they just magically cancer for no reason at all?
>as they are anti-chan
"Anti-chan" is really just a buzzword by this point.
Explain why DJT existing actively contradicts the chan nature of things and makes it a little worse, and then it won't be a buzzword. Until then, it's not an argument.

On behalf of the /djt/ supporters, I apologize for this man's actions.

>>858194
I just picked out individual points you were making and answered them in order. I have no idea how to organise it better than quoting certain parts of your posts.
I guess I usually quote an entire paragraph and not a sentence, but my mouse has been bugging out lately, so I can't be bothered to select parts of the post with it. I have to type out a short summary myself instead, so I'm lazy and only type a few words to make it obvious what point I'm answering. I thought about not keeping it to the exact words you were using to make it more obvious I'm answering "this part", but I thought it would probably be worse.
I thought answering individual part of the post fit more than having a generalised response in this case, since I'm arguing the nuance of generals and how they work.
If you think I missed the overall point you were trying to make and just answered some point without context, well, I was specifically trying not to do stuff like that. Tell me if I messed up like that somewhere.

So people shouldn't be allowed to use popular lines to start threads focused on things related to those lines?

And you don't seem to have any idea of what you're talking about if threads that are only made every so often about various different topics which happen to make a references to something popular count as generals.

I don't understand what kind of strawman you're trying to build, but I said literally none of those things.
Here are three main points I'm arguing, and if you try to build a strawman out of anything other than these three things, you are not worth my time:
A. That thread is constantly up on the catalog to the point where it's remade the instant it dies, which is a trait commonly shared with generals
B. The discussion within has nothing to do with anime or manga, it's people jerking off and telling each other about how hard they're jerking off right now while imagedumping
C. The mods, or rather one outlier, has shown in their words and actions they are fully intent on making a change, which involves moving or deleting threads that have no place on /a/. Said threads, with the notable exception of DJT, all share qualities A and B with that particular trap thread; so then, why leave it up, and apparently protect it, other than personal bias?

>>856927
Next time make sure your "self-moderation" is actual moderation

>>858625
>self moderation
That's code for "shitposting".

>>858627
Exactly

>>858631
Yes, in other words, there's no such thing as self moderation in the first place.

>>858574
Then open that thread and report the people who are ERPing. Don't you want to become a moderator?

>>858587
>A. That thread is constantly up on the catalog
Huh, I guess I'm not lurking enough even though I spend all day on /a/, given how I hardly ever see trap threads.
>B. The discussion within has nothing to do with anime or manga
Anime characters are part of anime, and thus discussion about them has place on /a/. If people are talking about how they want to suck each other's cocks or posting 3D images, then please report them.
>C. The mods, or rather one outlier, has shown in their words and actions they are fully intent on making a change, which involves moving or deleting threads that have no place on /a/.
And the standards of what "has place on /a/" are extremely arbitrary and seem heavily influenced by /qa/'s complaints, a board full of people who hate /a/. I wonder who's more credible, a board that's always complaining about some other board or that other board itself.

>>857545
>>857568
Everyone else on /a/ is getting great enjoyment out of seeing these shitty chatrooms taken to the chopping block, so your argument doesn't work.

>>858678
You mean the people who shitposted on some BR's attempt to rebel by spamming DJTs, which were unlike any post I've seen on /a/ despite using that board for a long time? I didn't know /a/ was repressing all its shitposting capabilities all the time, it was almost like they were a different board. But nah, no way that could be.

>>858686
>You mean the people who shitposted on some BR's attempt to rebel by spamming DJTs
No, I don't.

>>858676
>Huh, I guess I'm not lurking enough even though I spend all day on /a/, given how I hardly ever see trap threads.
I barely lurk /a/ anymore because of the state it's been in, so the fact that I see a trap thread up nearly every time I visit there is a serious red flag.
>Anime characters are part of anime, and thus discussion about them has place on /a/.
To what end? When the "discussion" of these characters amounts to no more than "wow cute boi I'm hard now," at that point, the fact that they're anime characters has absolutely no bearing on the conversation at hand. They could just as easily be western characters drawn by a Japanese artist, and no one in that thread would be the wiser, let alone bring attention to it.
>And the standards of what "has place on /a/" are extremely arbitrary and seem heavily influenced by /qa/'s complaints, a board full of people who hate /a/. I wonder who's more credible, a board that's always complaining about some other board or that other board itself.
One, I don't hate /a/. I want to see it be better, but it feels like every time the mods push towards making it better, they just give up the very next day. Two, I don't claim to know what has a place on /a/. That's the staff's prerogative, and they have made it clear that they don't support useless ecchi, imagedump, general threads either.
Three, /qa/ is a joke, everyone knows it, that's why /s4s/ has been using it as their personal dumping ground for the past year. But it's the only place on 4chan where I feel like I can actually get the mods' attention, and that fucking sucks.

>>858740

>>858678
>everyone else on /a/

>>858686

Also they constantly try to convince people theyre oldfags, and that the entirety of /a/ thinks exactly like they do despite not posting anything like /a/nons.

>>858705
>I barely lurk /a/ anymore because of the state it's been in, so the fact that I see a trap thread up nearly every time I visit there is a serious red flag.
Yeah I mean it's not like you could only speak up against those threads when there's one of them around, and then blame the fact that you don't see them other times on how "you don't browse /a/ because of the state it's in". You just kind of admitted that you don't even use /a/.
Also, I won't even say how stupid it is to try policing what should or shouldn't be allowed to be said in a board because you should know how dumb that is.

>>858809
They dont care how dumb it is, they are spamming just to troll and instead of banning them the mods are helping them. It fucking nuts.

>>858560
What the fuck are you complaining about? I just checked that thread on the archive, and people are in fact talking about traps in anime and manga. Some people who tried to blog, RP or post NSFW content got banned too. So what's the issue?

>>858911
They personally dont like it so yhey are using the new janis to remove it.

Next they'll start whining about currently airing shows and try to have them removed during the days there isnt an episode up. They already tried with jojo threads

>>858911
>>858976
And so the circlejerk begins anew.
Said manga is pretty much all NSFW, let's face facts, and clearly belongs on /h/ or /y/. Mods outright protecting the thread is setting a precedence that says "Yes, this thread is okay to have up, please keep making it."

>Next they'll start whining about currently airing shows and try to have them removed during the days there isnt an episode up. They already tried with jojo threads
Sasuga salty jojofag. I never did such a thing personally, but you are admittedly almost as obnoxious as trapfags.

>>859035
Do you gain some kind of sick pleasure from ruining other peoples fun? It seems like more work to shitpost these threads to death than it is to filter them. They make it awfully convenient for you by putting the title in the subject line.

huh?

If you want a chatroom why don't you fucking make a chatroom?

Weekend Waifu/Husbando Drawthread was fine and around all weekend long, with moderation sometimes having to act a bit but no to the point where they posted anything (like they did in other threads, like the Drawthread for example, to remind people to behave and not post shit all the time) - and now suddenly it's deleted and the Drawthread was deleted as well?

Do you honestly think any other board is going to respect waifuism? You can't just move us to /int/ or anything, especially not if there wasn't even a prior warning..

Trying to make /a/ into /a/eddit

Welcome to Neo /a/!

First they came for Kancolle, and I did not speak out—
Because I did not play Kancolle.

Then they came for DJT, and I did not speak out—
Because I did not browse DJT.

Then they came for the buyfags, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a buyfag.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I support this, way too many namefags and persistent identity meta garbage in them. Hopefully /b/ gets their own justice (global rule 13 is still bannable there) and starts banning the /b/ "draw threads" which are just a circle jerk for 5 second avatar posters who "draw" the same thing repeatedly up to 10,000 times a year per avatarfag. pic related 8 frame gif it's all the same.

I remember /a/ when Speed Grapher aired in 2005, it was a great place. Went back recently and way too much circle jerk and off topic /d/ trap/futa threads being forced trying to fly under the radar,

clean up the trash please then move onto /b/ and get rid of the retards that do pic related

DJT is fine moving to /int/

I cannot understand why they are removing buyfag though, where are they to go? /toy/ does not allow statues and /jp/ doesn't want buyfag, so what is the mod thinking exactly?

Never set a foot into draw threads and DJT, were they really this bad?

Also neither translating and drawing are forbidden, you can just make individual threads for it instead of eternal chatrooms.

>>859423
>DJT is fine moving to /int/
no it's not and you're stupid for not understanding what the entails.

>>859423
KC should have gone to /vg/ in the first place. IT IS A VIDEO GAME. Plenty of browser games already have generals on /vg/.

>>859424
Draw threads are pretty weird and dumb because every time I've taken a glance it's like there's a cult in there shitting on any new talent and jerking each other off. And any time someone comes in with a new request they're judged as to whether or not they're "worthy" based on if they're a regular there or not, and some dumb stuff about whether their request is "seasonal" and so on.

Basically, any general where you see people having conversations inside spoiler text, as if it's some sort of secret discussion they're not allowed to have, is an awful general.

Aside from the generals, is it just me or has /a/ gotten much worse in the last few days?

>>859430
So why ban buyfag threads?

>>859431
It's a side effect from too much meta discussion.

>>859401

One mod started sticking his nose into matters where he wasn't needed, which caused the entirety of /qa/ (and thus people from everyone on 4chan) to pay attention to the board. Of fucking course there are people from all over shitposting in there.
What a great job he's doing "making /a/ great", by inviting crossboarders from everywhere and stickying threads about dumb things like gets.

>>858439
There should be no need to fucking give a reason as to why template threads are bad. It's in its fucking name. It's a template. It isn't a thread, it isn't a discussion. If you don't know how to start a discussion like a real person without relying on templates, fuck off.

Template thread generate nothing of worth and are as template inside as template as the op. This isn't a traditional forum. If you don't understand the basic concept of how chans work, fuck off you retarded newfag with your retarded mentality and culture.

>>859454
>If you don't understand the basic concept of how chans work, fuck off you retarded newfag with your retarded mentality and culture.
Same goes for you if you think threads that start by using a template are the epitome of cancer. People use them EVERYWHERE because they want to start threads about a topic where discussion will take place without caring about the content of the OP, because the OP is irrelevant in most cases.
But oh no I guess they're "anti-chan" as well! Congratulations on learninga new buzzword.

So tough shit crybabies. Mods arent sucking your cocks anymore and giving you a fair dose of moderation like every other board.

Buyfag and drawfag threads have been on /a/ since BEFORE Chode Gayass and TTGL aired. If you don't like it, fuck off somewhere else, you /qa/ newfag, Gaia Online, Reddit fucktards

>>859461
Template threads ARE cancer. They aren't trying to create fucking discussion, it is trying to make a thread. They serve no purpose.

If you want to make a thread, attempt to generate discussion. Not 'x thread'. Fuck off you child and learn how to talk like an adult. OP's are one of the most important aspects of a thread as its the generation of the discussion. Template threads don't generate anything and honestly, anyway who defends them is much worse than generalfags.

>>859464
I'm fairly sure I've been using /a/ for quite a few years before the first time you went there.
>>859467
>If you want to make a thread, attempt to generate discussion.
Discussion is automatically generated in any given thread as long as there's interest in it. OPs don't mean shit and are nothing but topic starters, but I guess "good" OPs make the job easier for lazy mods who would rather delete everything based on nothing other than an OP.

>(Over)moderation
>mods literally sticky 2 /a/ gets on 2 other boards to encourage crossboarder shitposting.

Nah fuck you. if something, your shitty mods have always been easy on you. and now that they want to enforce some rules on you, you flip your shit out.

DJT could be on /int/
drawthreads on /ic/
buyfags on /toy/ or /jp/

>>859464
Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on you even knowing how to use a computer in 2006.
/a/ has always been moderated differently because it's the reason for the site's existence. If you don't believe the anime and manga board should have special privileges, you're the definition of a crossboarder.

What's your point? Where does it say in the rules that you are entitled to a permanent space on a board where threads are supposed to die once they fall off the catalogue?

>>859473
Yes, they are topic starters. But threads also don't have a topic. However, if you can't understand the importance of a fucking topic starter I think you might have the mental maturity of a fucking 12 year old.

4chan is organic discussion, not forced discussion. Template threads are attempting to force. Template threads are no different to general threads. They hold only a single thread flavour. You can go into one and it'll be no different to the one you saw last fucking month. People do experiments with this all the time, even pulling shit right from the archive. The results every time has always been that template threads are fucking templates. A thread will reflect its op.

>>859482

So drawfag threads aren't breaking any rules, then. They're made in boards outside of /ic/ because they're meant to focused on material that pertains to the board they're in.

Nothing is being forced in a thread just because its OP has a line that's popular on a board. If anything, I'd say it's the opposite - by making too elaborate of an OP, you're forcing discussion to focus on it instead of talking about the whole subject at once, and talking about things IN GENERAL like that was never a problem on fucking /a/. Or at least not until you /qa/ncer has started finding issue with it, because you believe every board is the same thing as /vg/.

People should have the choice of talking strictly about what the OP says and about the topic related to the OP in general in any given thread. You make it sound as if they should absolutely only talk about what's mentioned in the OP and nothing else.
Following your anger, why not ban most threads about anime as well? Quite often, they start with "new episode today, get in here" and that's not a good topic setter so it should be deleted too.

People can talk about whatever the fuck they want in a thread. The OP doesn't limit to what a thread is about. That doesn't change the fact that the OP is the most important part of a thread as it generates discussion. Even a fucking trolling flame thread of massive proportions has more worth than a template thread. It baits people to reply and as a result, it encourages people to discuss. Some of the best threads that have existed have been nothing but shitposting OPs. Template threads don't encourage discussion and threads aren't general threads either. This is a retarded mentality that is something new by generalfags and the like. Just because a thread is discussing x, it doesn't suddenly mean its okay to start talking about x in general. Follow the discussion you brainless idiot.

Template threads have no worth and generate nothing of worth, nor are they capable of doing so. They can only generate the same thing you say last week. The op is arguably the most important part of a thread. Walking up to someone saying "hi, how are you doing" isn't going to generate fucking discussion except on a very very rare occasion unless someone tries to force something. Every fucking time its going to "good, yourself" "same". Template threads aren't a means of discussion, its something done by fucking inbreed morons with the mental maturity of a 5 year old who is too autistic to know how to do something as simple as start a fucking conversation with someone else.

No, it's because you are a fucking idiot. Yes, it does matter, people DO crossboard. Its the most common trait on this website. "any board" implies /a/ as well. It's good to know you actually do hide yourself into some circlejerk and turn off everything else.

Fun fact, the most discussed topic of meta on EVERY BOARD when it comes to /a/ that is done by people who aren't fucking anti-/a/ idiots is getting rid of generals AND template threads. This is /a/ as well, not that I seriously think you have ever even gotten into any meta discussion unless its wanking about how great generals are and help """"organize""""" the board.

I sure am. Because someone who crossboards just means using more than one board and can imply crossboarder if used in that context. Hint, it wasn't. While crossboarder is someone who forces the culture of x that isn't wanted onto y.

No he didn't. It was created out of spite in the first place and when making decisions about the board, instead of consulting /jp/, he consulted /a/. He also put the worst moderation on that board which the entire of 4chan has ever seen. On top of all that he even was spiteful enough to tell people to use the board during one of the panel conventions, knowing it would flood the board with even more off topic shit.

>>859608
>You made a claim, not me, nigger.
My claims are right and supported by moderation.
>"S-shut up! My anecdotal evidence is legitimate! "
It is, and the mods also hold the same views. Acting like a fucking idiot in this situation is only making you retards look even more unwelcome. I didn't get kicked out of a board for making hundreds of bullshit threads, you did.

I can call you a stupid nigger and laugh in your face and it would still be more valid than your current failed attempts at convincing anyone that you fuckwits deserve a space on /a/. See how this works, moron? Your the dog here, you need to be beg and show your masters you are worth allowing back inside. I'm just here to laugh at you for finally getting the spanking you have long deserved.

Then please say something like "person who uses multiple boards" to avoid confusion. Not that there's much need for that since using more than one board is something most people do, including "general"fags.

Organic discussion isn't "OKAY THREAD REACHED ARBITRARY 500 POSTS, TIME TO LOSE INTEREST OR ELSE GET BANNED".

>>859617
>Organic discussion
Well fuck you. I want to keep discussing Gae Bolg after 500 posts.

>>859619
Organic and ephemeral discussion is when the thread 404's, its time for you to move the fuck on. The discussion is over, go find something else to fucking talk about. This isn't a chat room, you already had your fucking discussion, stop trying to artificially keep it alive because your an idiot.

>>859617
>That is how organic discussion works, anon.
But I thought you were arguing that threads should stick to one topic just a while ago.

>>859623
And if the thread died or got deleted minutes discussion because somebody shitposts 24/7 in it?

>>859623
That's not how 4chan works you fucking newfag. As I said, stay the fuck on /b/ if you want random shit with no consistent discussion.

>>859634
Thank you for policing our board /qa/. We're all retarded so we wouldn't know if we're wrong or not.

>>859628
That is how chans work shitstain. The bump limit is there to tell you the thread is over and its time to move the fuck on to allow something fresh in. It's literally about a constant flow of originality while you are desiring stagnation. Threads aren't intended to be chained. When a thread 404's, it dies and so does everything in it. It's fucking dead, get the fuck over it and get a hobby or learn how to talk about something different.

Chans are about organic and ephemerality, while you desire forced, constant and stagnation. If that's the case, why the fuck are you here instead of a traditional forum. Also, telling me to go to /b/ holds no grounding nor does it make sense because its the catch-all board. It's the board that exist to allow anything to be discussed. As such, it has nothing to do with the topic at hand, dumbass.

>>859635

There's your 'lol so randum' discussion site.

>>859639
I was on /a/ from 2003 to 2007. It has not always liked traps, you retard. /d/ was a tiny board no one cared about and one person would post a shitting dick nipples and get banned once every few months. Most of the board was straight and there weren't gender identity issues/fetish forcing outside of moot wanting to be the little girl.

>>859638
Everything you spew out reads like you learned all you know about 4chan from wikipedia. Just admit already that your one true desire is to turn everything into mini-/b/.

>>859638
That's why if people feel they haven't had enough discussion about a topic, they make a new thread. The fact that you're parroting the same silly arguments against generals is pretty hilarious though so I'll have to thank you for the chuckles.

>>859641
Yeah okay, you should be able to talk about these characters, as long as it's related to anime and manga. But these masturbation threads attract the worst people and rather belong on the yotsuba boards we have for masturbation.

>>859646

>>859657

This keeps getting more and more amusing.

>>859660
Sorry, but generals don't exist to talk about shit. It exist merely for the sake of it, even outside of /vg/.

>>859665

Epic.

>>859663
>the opinion of someone who actively uses a board
>/a/ has always liked traps.
>always
Last I checked, yea it does. Using a board actively doesn't suddenly mean you know anything about its history. Generalfags are a good example of that.

Tell me /a/, do you really like mod-kun's dick so much?

>>859665
As said by someone who doesn't even use /a/.

>>859670
You are right, I don't. I stopped using it a few months ago after being on it for basically a decade because its nothing but a stagnant shithole with all the generals and template threads. Nothing changes and almost every post I saw just fucking last week. I only ever use it for certain manga threads as they are truly golds that aren't stagnant shitholes and are actually fun to participate in.

I'll admit that deleting DJT seems to have worked out for the best so far (raw threads are bustling but relatively on-topic, and muhJLPT has fucked off to /int/), but I quibble with the lack of transparency, and I get the feeling this mod is going to keep going way past the point of what's reasonable. Things could get ugly the next time mogranon shows up.

>>859679
If MAL and Gaia and Reddit took over /a/ and filled it with shitposting while the mods did nothing, you'd eventually leave for a place that wasn't shit too. It still wouldn't give the invaders any moral authority.

>>859681
Except MAL threads still get hundreds of replies while all of the ancient /a/ threads get stomped on. The only conclusion is that the mods themselves are MALfaggots, like you, and want to see everything that has become tradition on /a/ wiped away.

>>859679

But I did? In-fact, I still do. Mostly out of habit. But atlas, nothing occurs from them. You know why? Because for the past few years I've gotten nothing but

>someone pointing out my thread is shit because its original and attempting to generate discussion and not x thread
The only successful threads I've had in the past few years in general threads. Threads that I've made that have been raided by generalfags who completely ignored everything I said in the OP and just turned the thread into their little general clubhouse.

Go fuck yourself.

>>859683

General and template threads aren't tradition.

>Nobody has pushed you off a cliff. We've just moved the ground out from under you. Why not just make your own ground?
Hey retard, you're not entitled to a permanent space on an imageboard that is ephemeral by design, where threads are to be created then naturally die.
Firstly, you belong on /ic/, the board that is actually about drawing. Secondly, you fuckers have your own external booru with your own forum and your own discord, etc. Literally all you are doing on /a/ is attention whoring.

>>859785

Well said anon; you're much better with words than I am but conveyed my feelings exactly.

Most of these pro general people basically just want anonymous subreddits, and this place being an imageboard or playing to it's strengths is just an afterthought.

Doesn't that mean that your business model relies on exploiting idiots who are too dense to see that they're being cheated?

>>859788
And anyone can post in 4chan and post whatever is on topic with the board.

Oh, and also a near-total monopoly on western imageboards, enabled by a healthy dose of sabotaging the competition, whether with spam, attacks on their hosting services, or simply creating new boards to leech away their users (/trash/, /r9k/, /pol/new/whatever).

For people who don't care if their users leave, you're awfully leery of letting even the smallest niche go unfilled.

>>856927
I came back recently, why the hell are mods doing this?
It only stir up shit and these threads have been here for a long time.
They should have deleted it right from the start if they didn't like it, or apply generals specific rules like Gintama thread.
Instead it's just one faggot mod who's spergs out and busted false flagging, plus a bunch of shitposters sucking his dick for (You)s
Shit even panda threads are deleted
No sticky with explanations or anything just deleting threads on sight.

>So, you're saying that having been here since 2005, and having generated content for this site for years, doesn't entitle you to any kind of stake or say in how things are run?
No, it doesn't. You don't own the board. We don't give a single fuck about how long your "culture" has been around. It doesn't make you arguments and entitlements any more important.

>>859819
Why do you moderate a site you don't give a fuck about?

>>859826
>implying it's just one mod

>>859831
Well, I'm asking this one.

>>859836
Well, why should /a/ get the special treatment and not be moderated like the rest of the site?

>>859840
Each board is different.
Imagine banning generals on /g/.

>>859849
It might make some of the users on /g/ happy as they are fed up of it being a consumer goods board. Also some generals were so much of a problem they had to make /biz/ even so they technically did ban some.

>>859840
Because the only board with a rule against "generals", whatever that's supposed to mean, is /v/.

But that has nothing to do with my question. In what way is it fair for you, a guy who doesn't care about the userbase at all, who probably spends more time on Twitter and IRC than 4chan, to make decisions that screw over people who have been here for years?

>>859849
Why aren't they banning generals on /g/? It's a discussion board for technology, not for blatant consumerism/marketing and "r8 my epeen"

>>859860
Generals are discussion. "Consumerism/marketing" doesn't mean anything. Why not just give us the real reason you don't want generals? Is it impairing "site churn"? Which metrics are going down when they should be going up?

>>859865
>Why not just give us the real reason you don't want generals
Going on /g/ alone, there are so many stale copy-pastas that it's not even funny anymore. Discussions in generals always devolve into AMDvsNvidia or AMDvsIntel shitflinging contests. All of these PC building, battlestation, and guts threads are turning /g/ into neo-/v/, complete with the same self-fellating buyer's remorse behavior.

>>859870
Users aren't being paid to constantly generate exciting new content for you. You only get that with likes, RTs, or upvotes. Is this your idea of playing to your strengths?

Whatever decision moderators do, keep the drawthreads banned. That's nothing more than a glorified circlejerk and if more, belong on /i/

>>859831
This, it looks like there are at least two. One of them knows their shit, the other is trying to delete everything they personally want gone and sticky epic get threads.

>>859878

I don't see how a billion "requesting this and that" with an occasional delivery counts as a circlejerk. Thank you for proving you have no idea what you are talking about.
