generals degrade over time.
In a year they'd be just a chatroom for the same ~50 people.

>>876560
I'm not complaining about DJT getting nuked nor any general like Monmusume or Aikatsu getting a warning, but homo threads are not a general and they are being deleted.

>>876551
Head on over to /vg/ and try to make that comparison. Homo threads aren't even close to being general material. Stop talking about things you have no understanding of.
/a/ mods need to get their shit together. We shouldn't have to come over to /qa/ and bitch about something that's been longstanding and a fucking banner for years.

Why didn't they stay on /int/? Too much shitposting and flags?

>>876554
The topic is general, that is, homo stuff in various series. What the moderators want is specific discussion in separate threads (presumably for separate series, episodes, chapters, etc.).

>>876606
I thought /jp/ hated DJT. I mean they have a lot of idol generals, so I don't think they care that much, but still.

>>876609
They hate them, but djt hates /int/ so they ignore those on /jp/ that hate them.

>>876604
There is no way to discuss certain series but there. BL and minor series can't sustain discussion on /a/. It's the only place were you can discuss stuff like Trickster.

If you change the OP you wouldn't know even it's an homothread. It's like an old anime getting a thread once in a while. Are RE: Zero threads general? Eva? CG?

>>876604
That's retarded and never going to happen. How do you even enforce something like that? Do people get banned for mentioning the previous chapter of a series in a thread about the newest one? There is absolutely no problem with having threads about broad topics rather than specific ones. That's not the issue with generals. It's the way they turn into unending behemoth threads and become weird little isolated cliques of shitty idiots.

>>876604
>What the moderators want is specific discussion in separate threads (presumably for separate series, episodes, chapters, etc.)

That makes no sense and I've not seen a single mod say something like this. By your dumb definition, we can't have a 80's anime thread/retro anime, sakuga threads, OPT threads, webm threads, hell even the post your waifu thread wouldn't be allowed either.

It's just some new mod (yes, new, because that definitely isn't the Kinomod I've seen in action) arbitrarily enforcing some random level of "quality" for threads that nobody asked for, as proven by the fact that people haven't changed at all. /a/ is not a board that cares much about its OPs, and will discuss anything as long as the topic of any thread interests them (including "generals") -- but I guess I can see why this would look bad for outsiders, which explains why a minority of /a/, /qa/ and this mod want the board to change.
But well, too fucking bad, looks like it won't.

>>876640

At least this thread is decent proof that the people who are complaining have no idea what they're complaining about and just want to group people they hate together by implying they're all the same.

We have 2 to 1 thread per week. If they stay up for more than one day it's because of how slow /a/ is during the week. If you truly believe homo threads are the same as Aikatsu/ Monmusume/Drawfag/etc, you are delusional.

>>876692
Someone has not visited homo threads.

>>876543
You guys sure are desperate at lying their asses off.

Everyone on /a/ has seen how your circlejerk artificially keeps your threads alive by preventing the thread from naturally 404ing on page 10, allowing your thread to sometimes last 2 to 3 days out of a week before you make another thread yet again.

Also, seeing the frequency of how you faggots post links to Yaoi Hentai Sites pretty much shows where you faggots came from.

Perhaps, your favorite Yaoi Hentai Sites should be added to 4chan's spam filter.

You are a general. Just admit it. You even have a bunch of Avatarfags in your threads that shit up the rest of /a/.

For example, that Killua avatarfag that roleplayed in Hunterx x Hunter threads and that One Piece fag who kept spamming yaoi in One Piece threads who regularly is part on your circlejerk.

>>876543
I see discussion on /u/, why can't homosexuals and fujoshi do that too? Homo generals are unneeded, if there is a show with homobait or yuribait in it and it has a fanbase it will get threads, like Free, Izetta or Yoi. Homo threads do get image dumps and blogging. They literally began as imagedump threads and turned into chatrooms. Having a banner doesn't justify them.

>>876700
From the thread that's on /a/ now. Are you satisfied now?

>>876697
>Someone has not visited homo threads.
I have, and they are 80% terrible ever since tumblr discovered them and avatarfags are accepted in them.

>>876698
>Everyone on /a/ has seen how your circlejerk artificially keeps your threads alive by preventing the thread from naturally 404ing on page 10, allowing your thread to sometimes last 2 to 3 days out of a week before you make another thread yet again.

I won't deny that bumping from page 10 happens, but the last part is a gigatic fucking lie. As a matter of fact, when the homo threads were being spammed, the majorit wouldn't join the threads and anons would report it.

>Yaoi Hentai Sites

What the fuck are you even implying? We can't post sad panda links anymore?

>You even have a bunch of Avatarfags in your threads that shit up the rest of /a/.

Killuafag is a well known cancer, we don't like as much as you do. We report him and don't give him (you)s but mods already gave up trying to deal with him.

No one posts about One Piece in the homo threads, so I don't know about this other guy. Just because some shitposter spam yaoi pictures doesn't mean he is from the homo threads, the majority of newfags don't even know what the hell are the homo threads, they just see a Mugen picture and move on.

What? There's no one posting One Piece homo in the homo thread. They're just in your shitty threads.
We aren't responsible for your local shitposters.

Also, pretty much all of /a/'s submitted banners were accepted 100 percent. moot didn't bother to do any QC on 4chan banners so even shit from knowyourmeme got in.

>>876705
>why can't homosexuals and fujoshi do that too?
There was a time when discussion was actively discouraged by the moderation on those boards. I'm not sure if things have changed or if they just don't pay any attention anymore but glancing at /cm/ at least it seems like there's a bit of discussion going on now. Mostly as a side note to the image dumping, but still. Anyway, people still assume (maybe rightfully, like I said it's hard to determine if there was a change in policy or it's just not being enforced) that discussion is not allowed on those boards so they stay on a board where it is allowed.

>>876717
>even shit from knowyourmeme got in.
What ? Really?
Which ones?

>>876717
Not the norm and /y/ allowing discussion is quite new.

Regardless, homo threads still talk more about current anime than any BL manga or BL anime.

This. The whole /y/ and /cm/ can't have discussion narrative is patently false.

>>876705
>I see discussion on /u/, why can't homosexuals and fujoshi do that too?
Because we are discussing anime and manga?

>>876773
>Talking about Trump for no reason

Why are you even here?

>>876761
Curious. I can't tell if this is a rule change or mods just stopped visiting. Considering the quality of some posts on the catalog it'd be easy to suspect the latter.

>>876729
Unfortunately some people who post in homothreads would have used /cm/ before the Hetalia anime aired, and at that time because of the popularity of the webcomic moderation clamped down hard on multiple threads, and posts without images or too much text. Mods posted that any further discussion would result in bans, and some namefag got a public one. After that nobody dared to discuss Turkish history.

/cm/ went to complete shit with newfags around the same time so everyone bailed and never touched it again. We're older now and there's better image site organisation too.

>>876778
Does reporting /pol/tards on /qa/ work?

>>876773
They don't need an excuse. The threads are about anime and manga. That makes them /a/-related, just like all the threads about female characters that people post on /a/ instead of /c/.

>>876543

What if you're misinterpreting their actions? Maybe different mod that favors the threads gave a reprieve in the form of forcing bump limit instead of a straight up deletion.

A clear statement would be better than any amount of guesswork though.

>>877118
If there is no response, of course the most vile intentions should be suspected to be at work.

If mods don't give a reason as to why Homo threads are getting deleted/autosaged, then they're going to keep getting re-posed ad nauseum until the end of time. At least explain the reasoning behind the decision.

I think they're fine to have since they discuss unpopular series, new BL news and series updates, aren't daily, and generally stay civil (compared to other threads). But if they're going to be removed or are suddenly not allowed after 9 years of existence then the logic of the decision needs to be explained.

>>877118
Mods gave a pretty clear statement to multiple threads not long ago on the direction they want /a/ to go.
https://desuarchive.org/a/search/text/In%20an%20effort/capcode/mod/
It looks pretty reasonable and they mentioned applying it across all of a/ but as usual it is applied pretty inconsistently.

>>877133
Going by the link in >>877134 it probably is the template rule they set up. Might have to start putting extra stuff in the OP.

>>877118
If the mods themselves haven't come to an agreement over whether or not homothreads should be deleted, then why not just let the thread run its course for now?

That thread was going to naturally die in less than a day anyway, but forcibly making it die without any explanation will just make the angry fujos create another thread to complain.

Does he want to delete half of /a/ to get rid of the template threads? Because most of our threads are some kind of copy of another thread.
Why does he want multiple threads with the same content? How does this improve board quality?

These posts explain nothing, they just state that mod wants threads to go the way HE wants, no matter if that is retarded or not.

This is not the first time mods have done this either.

I think it's because generals usually have always the same people talking about the same things, so eventually they become their own little world completely isolated from the rest of the board.

Instead of threads devoted to individual series isolating the fans from the rest of the board, they should be welcome to contribute to each other's conversations. 4chan is not structured or meant for long, multi-week conversations over a single topic. That's more apt for a traditional forum setting where people have recognizable names and posting habits. Here we're meant to discuss freely and not get so invested in our own special cliques that we shun the rest of the board. With generals, /a/ becomes an Anime/Manga forum with subforums full of trolling and shitposting due to Anonymity and lack of recourse for derailing into bitchfests. /a/ (and 4chan as a whole) is meant to be open and topical with a shared culture rather than splintered and having extremely devoted, niche groups acting like they're not a part of the board they're using to discuss things. It's a problem that's affected all of 4chan, not just /a/. People are taking the reddit/MAL/what-have-you approach to online communities and trying to apply it here where it doesn't fit. /vg/ was created because you couldn't actually discuss video games on /v/ due to all the recurring threads devoted to one specific genre or series of games. Now /vg/ is full of the same problems that have plagued /a/ - circlejerking, stale memes, avatarfagging, freely linking to rival sites, and the same 50 or so devoted fans shutting out any other kind of discussion. I'm glad /a/ is at least trying to fight back against this but I'm not sure how successful it will be. Especially since they're now deleting a long-standing tradition of the board without rhyme or reason.

New Homothread was deleted but since it's devolved into meta bitching that's understandable. Still, mods, you're being cunts. Give your reasons or stop deleting the threads. We don't want to be shitty and we don't want an /ag/ board to be necessary but you're fucking up with something that's been around for nearly a decade.

Homo threads are once per week and discussing homobait that happened in most of the shows and manga during this week. If the show's thread is up, posters are told to fuck off there, like it usually happens with HQ, YoI and Gundum IBO fags. It's hard to be isolated with homo threads.

>>877193
Natsume is used goods, but at least he is not cum dumpster like Oikawa.

>>877203
This is retarded considering most generals on /a/ work just fine within the board culture.
See buyfag, drawfag, /ai/, homo, kancolle.

>b-but they have recurring conversation and shitposting!!
Every thread on /a/ has that, stop deluding yourself.

>>877196
I don't know, was just giving an alternative after being asked. And maybe mods decided that special exceptions on "generals" aren't allowed any more? They moved on DJT first then buyfag and some others in more recent weeks.

The rest I can kinda understand, but kancolle threads are stealth game threads broken up by image dumps and the occasional chapter release.

Why are you posting a thread on /qa/ about moderation? You're better off going to the IRC and speaking to a moderator directly. Here's a real question: What the fuck is the purpose of this shitty fucking board?

>>877213
SFW /b/

>>877213
Mods and Hiro check /qa/ every once in a full moon.

And it's better to post about meta here than on /a/.

>>877213
I really, really want to put the t. spammer card on you, but basically this >>877215
Now answer: what's the purpose of [s4s]?

>>877213
Making people feel like they have a say when they don't. You can only blame hiro for reinforcing the idea that his is /q/-lite by posting here once every few months.

>>877211
Both of them.

>>877216
>Post about meta on /qa/ rather than /a/ (or anywhere)

Yeah, I mostly disagree. Post here so that a bunch of shitposters that hang out only on /qa/ can shitpost about how little they know about each of the boards.

>>877218
>When they really don't

Seems it's working wonders. People post here, get bombarded by shitposters that think they knoew better, and then give up. Ingenious.

>>>/a/150790673
I suspect threads like this really won't work in the long run.

Just like those "what are your homo OTPs" or general gay shit threads, they'll probably be full of shitposting from anons who hate everything related to faggotry in anime, and also from newfag/crossboarder fujos who are not used to /a/'s fujophobia and take even the most obvious baits.

Homo threads are easy to filter or ignore for the anons who hate homo, and if they try to shitpost there no one pays them attention. As for the newfag fujos, based backseat mods are always there ready to tell them to lurk more or fuck off.

>>876543
The mods doing it because you are going just
>it's time
and normally with the same image each time and that's it. There is zero attempt to start discussion, so the mods nuked you. Did you people even read his mod post?

>>877273
>There is zero attempt to start discussion
Because everyone who's not a newfag knows exactly what the thread is about and what kind of discussion it contains.

>>877193
It's fine, slut threads have been on /a/ for years.

Just like a certain other thread.

>>877175
Making multiple threads back to back to back IS what a general does. Attempting such doesn't send a good message to the mods.

What? But it does. Your usual "get out of my board you degenerate faggots" reply that guarantees several (You)s in generic fujo threads were always ignored and reported on sight on homo threads.

You clearly don't visit those threads frequently and have no idea what you're talking about.

Look shithead, I've been for like 9 years now. I've seen homothreads evoling from imagedump threads, imagedump with discussion to threads where people actually discuss stuff, you bet your sweet ass I'm mad that newfag comes and takes them away.

I don't even know where the fuck I am suppose to discuss most of series homothread discuss. Have you tried starting a Natsume or Trickster threads? Or a Yoneda Kou/BL thread?

Because I tried, that shit gets 5 posts and dies 99%. Even HomoOTP threads use to die fast these days, and they were the only thing that could rival with homothread flow of discussions for a while.

You don't need the retarded pastebin, nigger. The mod is encouraging you to not "haha penis waifu" and instead attempt to initiate some sort of discussion or fun without relying on some dumb unfunny inane bullshit. Yes, removing half of /a/ is the way to go. Template threads need to go, simple as that. They are garbage and rarely produce anything good and shit up the fucking catalog. If you aren't even capable of producing even a slightly original thought, don't make a OP. Because he's telling you, you don't need to jam everything together and that making multiple threads allows topics to grow better. This questions is answered by having experience with chans. Disagreement with multiple threads is a sign of being a newfag.

The OP has a big impact on the flow of the thread. The mod is enforcing basically the same quality standards used years ago to remove all the dumb and inane garbage shitting the place up. He's removing shitposting. You are reacting because as it turns out, you are a shitposter.

>>877284

>>877310

Yeah, because people asking 10 times what a forwarder is, how to buy from honto.jp, how to deal with taxes when importing and how to evade them, if cons are a great place to buy stuff, what prize figures are and if they're better than scales, what all those abbreviations like MF mean, what the difference between scales and figmas are and if SAL is the fastest shipping method sure is quality content, right?
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

Nothing, everything should be relegated to different boards now that /a/ is pointless. Everything about cute girls must go to /c/, every show with a robot must go to /m/, every ecchi must go to /e/, and every cute boy must go to /cm/.

>>877321
Yeah, that'll sure help more than just putting a short link in the OP that'll prevent every shitty of those hundred question.

And more importantly is that fucking second line you retard. You think the mods are fucking stupid? You are encouraging people to metapost in the thread. Holy shit are you people stupid.

>>877310
>You don't need the retarded pastebin, nigger.
Do you remember those lists of recommended anime/sources to download it/codecs to watch it with made by /a/? Do you remember why did we make them? Because there was no /wsr/ yet and tons of newshits wanted to get into anime since it suddenly became hip and were asking the same fucking questions over and over again. Pasterbins are for exactly that propose. Telling newfags to fuck off and google everything by themselves would only make the isolation thing worse.

>>877334
Where was the metapost in that thread?

>>877334

That guy doesn't even sound like he frequents /a/.

>>877336
And guess what, those things rarely helped because people don't fucking read. Post the pastebin when someone asks something stupid? Sure, and that means asking something stupid instead of trying to initiate discussion, throw the link at them. It doesn't need to be in the OP.

>>877337
>>877340
Am I talking to fucking /v/ or something? Whether there was any in it or not doesn't matter. It heavily encourages it to devolve into metaposting. Do you people just never use non-template threads?

Suspicious suspicious. I like how some people are parading the idea that his life suddenly got busy again so he can't reply to anyone on IRC, well if that's the case then he certainly has no time to moderate /a/ either.

Creating homo-themed threads to bitch at mods isn't going to work. It's just making homo thread frequenters seem petulant and obnoxious. Fucker who banned you was incredibly salty, though. Maybe try creating a "beautiful men in anime" topic? That's not a general, it's open for a lot of discussion, and basically follows other established criteria for threads.

I kind of miss the days when mods being dicks in any way could get the whole board whipped up into a frenzy. Nipples are sacred while discussions about 2D boys are not, apparently.

>>877366
wew laddies

>>877330
Someone should make a thread similar to that one (but not with the same image or text, otherwise it would be spam), without the "it's time" part, and also replacing the second line with something generic like "keep it civil and on topic". I want to see what excuses the mod defense force ITT would come up with to justify the thread's inevitable deletion.

I'd do it myself, but I'm currently using a static IP so I don't want to get banned.

>>877364
>Suspicious suspicious
Are you fucking retarded? He probably was busy and wasn't there at the time. Going by anons messages, he only messaged them once. So he easily could have missed it. There is nothing "suspicious" here you retarded conspiracy nut. There are tons of obvious reasons why anon didn't get a response. But instead of going for these you latch onto the conspiracy tier shit of "its a fake kino" because you want to believe in some narrative that you good ol' kino isn't against your shitposting. The fucker might not have responded because 50 other people were asking the same questions as well. The tag has been registered since 2010, it hasn't switched hands.

If you are going to quote that thread, here is a good quote from it

So if he's so busy with his life, how is he finding time to moderate /a/? If he really wanted to clear away all misconceptions, then why hasn't he said anything on IRC or posted again on /a/ since the first incident? (A bunch of copypasted rules doesn't mean shit)
Giving away a known user handle that might have been afk for ages doesn't prove shit. If he wanted to prove the authenticity of his words (which, might I remind you, have never said a single shit about getting rid of generals, only "making them less problematic"), I'd say that 18 days is more than enough time for that.

Then why hasn't he, or anyone else in the staff done anything other than silently deleting threads at random for that time?

Do you have zero knowledge of the mods or something? hownew.ru

As for IRC, no one has seemed to have attempted. There was one person in another thread that said he "did", but there is also no proof that he was the one who posted the screenshots or even asked the mod. Until someone proves fucking otherwise, it is kinomod. This is how it works. You are trying to claim some bullshit conspiracy. If you want it to be taken seriously, provide something to prove it other then some wild claims that make sense.

You faggots are the reason DJT got moved to an even shittier place. Its not about the post it garners, what matters is keeping people on track about the purpose of the thread. Therefore learning the language itself. If you say it was all just blogging 24/7 then delete and ban the bloggers.

Deleting a thread with a noble purpose just because shitposters decide to shit on it is just a lazy approach.

>>877425

>>877273
>There is zero attempt to start discussion
If you had used /a/ for any amount of time, you'd know that it is a board that doesn't care about OPs. People will post in any given thread and have thread-filling discussions as long as it pertains to a topic they're interested in.
Hell, look at this example from today: >>>/a/150770469
>OP is a silly scene with a silly comment
>people still decided to use it to talk about the series in GENERAL and the episode that had just come out
Outsiders to /a/ have no right to say what should go in there or not. Any mod who's familiar with the board should know this as well, but look at what situation we're in right now. And there's also how despite all the random deletions and sparse mod posts, people haven't changed at all - isn't that proof that they don't want to change? /a/ doesn't care if (You) or a new mod who's using a clueless mod's post as excuse to do whatever he wants think they're wrong. They're still regarded as a good board who knows how to self-moderate and hasn't gone deep into shit for a reason, and that's the fact that they have a [trigger warning] culture they're willing to protect, even when the moderation itself wants to kill that culture.

The waifu drawthreads supposedly spoke to a mod who told them how to make their OP posts correctly to avoid deletion, however the discussion of this I saw included shitposting about how it was only relayed by the inquirer on a Discord channel for circlejerkers, and the conversation was never distributed in threads under the assumption anyone that mattered was in their friendship circle.

But then that's just how waifu threads operate.

>>877440
Are you retarded?

>>877449
And yet their threads are allowed, and they continue to hop to a new one every time it hits 500 posts. We must be missing something.

>>877433
This mod only cares about OPs, he seems unable to give a fuck if people posting in threads are being civil or not. It's like he's more worried about the appearance of the board to people from outside than the actual quality of posts and discussions.

>>877446
This honestly sounds believable.

>>877449
The mods are extremely active in those waifu drawthreads. You could see a lot of deleted posts in the archive.

>>877452
Are you? I don't see how your post addresses anything regarding /a/'s quality (or lack thereof).

>>877458
OPs have a effect on the contents of a thread. Fix one and the other becomes easier to fix. Just the same as the mod is nuking all the garbage one by one at a time instead of all at once.

>>877463
But why try to fix what isn't broken? If threads with shit OPs still get good posters and good discussions, then what's the fucking problem?

I'm talking specifically about threads that have decent discussions despite their OPs not being "100% mod-approved" and that are still being deleted regardless.

I think those threads got deleted because of that link in the OP. You guys are still in a better situation than us, man, we still didn't get a fucking explanation.

>>877463
And the point of that entire post is how that mindset doesn't apply to /a/. People there just want to talk about anime/manga and topics related to anime/manga, and that's what they do regardless of the "objective" quality of an OP or how many times it's been reposted. And if that quality of an OP is so important, then why did mods refuse to delete threads about feminism in anime or racist /pol/ shit despite most of the board telling those people to fuck off just a few days ago? Why are those threads that they board doesn't approve more important than threads with vague OPs that they do approve?

Actually, he's deleting all those threads at random.
I don't think this "you deleted our thread so delete theirs too" mentality is healthy, by the way. Keep it up and soon enough the entire board will be nothing but people complaining that threads didn't get deleted.

So what makes a thread a general?

So far it seems that it's an arbitrary rule enforcement.

Also, this thing:
>>877425
>what matters is keeping people on track about the purpose of the thread
Exactly, these niggers here in their generals are helpful at either informing you about shit that happens regularly, keeping information up to date on important shit, and in general the people who take part in generals are better informed about the subject than non regulars.

/a/'s posting quality has been rapidly decreasing for years. Self-moderation IS non-existent, fun is almost non-existent and the majority of the posts and threads on the board incredibly repetitive and unoriginal thoughtless posts no different to a shitpost.

Claiming that /a/ is perfectly fine, has nothing wrong with it and is the best board on the site is just refusing to look at reality. The board has changed greatly in the past few years. The quality has dropped, originality is dead, the posters have changed and most old users have left. Clinging to moots fucking statement on the board being good only is you living in a delusional bubble. That post was about how the board avoided the problems that comes with a big board and the board has certainly fallen victim to them.

What you see as a problem and a mistake from the mods is a relief to older /a/nons.

>>877494
Fuck off, retard, why do you false flag like this? No one wants /ag/, besides you /qa/fags.

The board quality decreased just like the entire site's quality decreased. When it comes to self-moderation, current /a/ may be worse than /a/ from a few years ago, but it's still better than a vast majority of other boards because those boards also got worse over the years.

>What you see as a problem and a mistake from the mods is a relief to older /a/nons.

Yes, because homo threads are really new.

>>877494
When a thread on a certain topic has reached bump limit, someone makes a new thread and everyone migrates to that one. Then repeat that hundreds of times.

Hahahahahaha.

What the fuck are you going to do about it? Call names? Make shit threads on purpose?

Get fucked.

>>877492

My point is he is doing it on fucking purpose to piss off people and not because the thread was shit or made for the sake of shitposting.

>>877496
>and threads on the board incredibly repetitive and unoriginal thoughtless posts no different to a shitpost.
If that's how you think, then it's no wonder you think fun is dead. You should try watching anime sometimes and browsing threads about them, preferably unpopular shows with smaller fanbases to avoid things like the usual shitposting causing by the huge amount of fans KyoAni has, for example. Unless you also avoid those threads because they're generals, in that case there's no more hope left for you.

As someone who still loves watching anime even 9 years after starting taking it more seriously and talking about it and related matters with like-minded people, /a/ is still fucking great. I don't care about what some faggot left for Google said, I still love /a/ as it is right now (or as it was before this mod showed up) and I see no need for it to change. New people showing up is inevitable, but /a/ is one of the few boards left that tells them to lurk the fuck more.

>>877522
>I don't care about what some faggot left for Google said
Cool, leave for Reddit then.

>>877517
Why are homo threads getting deleted then?

>>877503

He doesn't remove it your moron. Buyfag thread was sniped 3 times while dozens of shitpost and shit threads remain.

I was also in that Kimi no Na wa thread and it was derailed into a KyoAni hate thread for no reason. Guess what. Faggot mod didn't do anything.

>>877526
You're the one trying to enforce rules where everyone should be serious and have descriptive, specific OPs here. I think Reddit would suit you much better than me.

>>877481

Seriously if things don't improve take it to Hiro's Twitter. We need to draw out this fucker.

Seriously, what problem did the generals bring that isn't present in normal threads?

>>877496
>is a relief to older /a/nons
how nu r u
On a serious note, generals have been a thing since forever, maybe not in /a/ but it was inevitable that they would happen. I don't understand the need to ban them, it's not like they made more than half of the board or even harmed the board.

>>877517
So almost all seasonal and popular series on /a/ should be banned too? Is it forbidden to carry over conversation now? what is the limit to carry over, 1 thread, 2, 3, n+1?

>>877528
Because nipplemod 2.0 doesn't like it when OPs are so simple and repetitive.

>>877533
>4chan is only for shitposting!
Sure about that?

>>877534
>if things don't improve
They have been getting worse and worse for the past two and a half weeks. I'd say that's more than enough time to consider calling him out already.

>>877522
I use only threads for unpopular and dead things these days because I got sick of all the other threads. For both anime and manga. These things are a massive minority and some of them still fall victim to the dumb inane shit of the rest of board. Don't fucking try using 5% of the board to justify why there is nothing wrong with 95% of the board.

>>877541

Already did my part. Posted in the dead feedback thread and tweeted to Hiro.

>>877543
>tweeted
And now you're trash. Leave 4chan.

>>877538
No, 4chan is for fun. A place where anonymous posters can pretend to be someone else, shitpost and make inane comments was never meant for serious discussions all the time.
Come on, you've been here for a while. It's about time you realized that.

>>877508
I want /a/ to rot in Hell with all the shitty studiowar-threads and generals and all the /m/-fags who each weekend keep complaining on /a/ about nobody discussing their old /m/animus and complaining about moe-shit ruining all of anime.

>>877545
>4chan is for fun.
And your definition of "fun" is to be a faggot. Leave.

>>877530
And he more than likely will in the future. Are you stupid? Have you not been paying attention to what has been going on? The mod isn't doing everything at once. He's slowly picking things off and cleaning the place one by one. What the fuck do you think would have happen if he nuked 90% of /a/ at once constantly? Nothing, nothing would happen because the mod would stop because people would overreact so fucking hard and not use their fucking head like what occurs every other time a mod shows up.

If the mod doesn't remove them, then go to irc and ask kami if he will.

T B H
I don't care what happens, generals or not, the current situation is frustrating and using /a/ has now an extra layer of stress.

>>877528

Tell me. Does /y/ hate discussion?

Seriously, buyfags are in a literal stalemate and can't fuck off.

Figs are not /toy/ material.
/jp/ is a hostile place

Same with DJT. Int and jp are shitty places.

>>877542
>some of them still fall victim to the dumb inane shit of the rest of board.
And that's because people post to have fun with others who enjoy the same series as them. If you want serious discussions which consist of nothing but MAL reviews, then sadly enough >>>/r/anime really might be a better place for you.
>>877548
No you are being a faggot. Leave first.

>>877546
>Implying moeshit hasn't ruined anime as a medium by stifling its creativity and pandering to low-hanging fruit
>Implying people like mecha anime because it's TUFF
You start this shit without even realizing it don't you, queer?

>>877545
4chan is for fun AND discussion. It's also a place that is meant to be constantly original. You are encouraging for none of these things.

>>877558
>The only way people can have serious discussion is by way of abiding by MAL reviews

You are one dishonest fucking cunt.

>>877550


WHAT THE FUCK.

He didn't do it for days what makes you think he'll do it next time? That's a shitty justification. Seriously fuck off.

>>877561
You JUST implied both of those things, faggot.

>>877566
He didn't delete waifu threads for 2 weeks and then he did later. Are you stupid? Stop being an idiot trying to go out of your way to not look at the facts. You just want to shit on the mod, regardless of what he does.

>>877560
>It's also a place that is meant to be constantly original.
Isn't 4chan a free place? People should be free to be either original or not, even most of the OC of old times were people reposting the same images with a few edits.
And well, >>>/f/ still exists.

>pulls le rebit boogeyman
>hurr go back to plevvit
>acts like the boogeyman he so despises

Yeah sure. Be a hypocrite. Be HILARIOUS AND ORIGINAL.

>>877575
>I should be free to be a faggot without consequence

>>877573

Wow he targetted a few more minor issues in /a/. That sure made /a/ look a lot better now!

>>877577
>Pulls le insubstantial greentext "counterargument" card
So /a/ sucks because of /v/ evidently.

>>877579
Great job enforcing originality you're doing. Not that enforcing originality is any possible at all.

>>877558
Are you fucking stupid? No one even brought up serious fucking discussions but you. The only things that were brought up that has any relevance to this is
>originality
>repetitive
None these imply serious discussion, but they certainly have an effect on fun. It's not possible to have fun in a vacuum of repetitive inane garbage that wasn't funny in the first place unless you have the brain of a twig. Or, in most cases are a normalfag who sits there repeating the same movie quote for a fucking decade. Face it, you just don't want to see original stuff, you just want to sit there and post without any thought put into any of them. This doesn't imply fucking serious discussion in any form.

Stop ignoring what is being said to strawman and force your view. You are what this mod describes as a bad poster.

>>877589
That's not what I said, so respond to what I said please. Thanks, cunt.

>>877575
And mods have always encouraged posters to not be unoriginal idiots. People used to also understand the concept of not just sitting repeating the same garbage. The website went to shit when people refused to be original and decided to stagnate instead.

>>877591
Fucking rekt.

Just move it to /jp/ like everything else. You will find a janitor to babysit your thread and you can circlejerk and blog as much as you want.
I fucking hate you, /a/.

>>877597
>just move a thread about anime and manga to /jp/

>>877595

What is original?
What defines uniqueness?

This a fucking image board. We start memes? Pepe?

Yeah fuck off. Life is monotonous. You're here forever.

>>877597
>I thought you were my friends!
Fuck off.

>>877604
>This shitty excuse-making for shitposting
Just because you're not capable of original thought doesn't mean others aren't and that it doesn't exist.
Kindly, kindly, fuck off.

I can't imagine someone this fucking stupid with a half decent taste in anime.

>>877604
This is some real cringy modern /b/ tier post.
>we start memes
You are right, modern 4chan starts memes. But guess what? Originally on 4chan we didn't create memes. Memes created themselves.

This is a piss-poor excuse to shitpost.

>>877556
That's not the point, but if you want to know, for a very long time we weren't allowed to post discussion of any kind on /y/, now because the board is dead and there is no moderation, you can pretty much do whatever you want on /y/ or /cm/, that's why both boards are a tumblr cesspoll.

I'm not going to try to save face, if mods want our threads gone after all this years so be it, it sucks, but Sakurafish and Christmas Yui are gone as well. I'm sad and salty, but that's life. I had a lot of fun posting in the homo threads for 6 years we did our best about self moderation, reporting and not making the threads up for the whole week, but I guess this is just not good enough and so be it.

My point and issue is with the mods, they are not moving us to anywhere, they are just deleting the threads and not saying a word about it, they are leaving us in the dark and this is worse than being kicked to /cm/ or /y/.

>>877605
Holy shit that greentext destroyed me. It's like you're inside my mind.

>>877613
Good.

Fuck you.

>>877608

How is it shitposting when people discuss on a thread and are civil about it?

You twisting that "originality" sentiment is something you want to use to justify stirring shit.

We can have something about an old stuff and still discuss it. Its nothing new but also its nothing detrimental.

>>877615
>>877619
Fuck!

You!

>>877591
Except for, you know, the part about
>dumb inane shit
You're pretty much forcing people to adhere to a mentality you prefer. People can and will have fun in whatever way they want to, and that's how the board has operated for a long time, but when someone tries too hard or has fun in the wrong way, they get called out for being a faggot in the thread they're in (something that hardly ever happens especially in comparison to how much dumb inane shit you claim to see everywhere). I don't even make posts like that (but then again you could consider any post even to be a dumb inane post), but I don't see any harm in their existence if other people are okay with it.

Establishing posting standards is something that should be left to the community of a board, not to a mod. If people really dislike a thread, they'll leave it rot in age 10. If people dislike a poster, they'll call them a faggot. There's no need to a mod to come in and arbitrarily try to correct everyone in their ways by saying they're living their lives incorrectly.
This goes to >>877592 and >>877595 as well.

>>877619
>How is it shitposting when people discuss on a thread and are civil about it?
Wow, something I said nothing about, interesting, it's like you have no idea how to discuss anything.

Don't try again.

What does this originality shit even mean? Most people on /a/ just want to fucking talk about the things they're watching or reading.

Do you people really expect most threads on /a/ not to have just variations of "X thread. Talk about X" in the OP?

>>877624
>Quality is a mentality

You're hopeless. Just stop talking.

>Establishing posting standards is something that should be left to the community of a board
>You're pretty much forcing people to adhere to a mentality you prefer. People
Oh the irony with that appeal to culture shitposting thing you're doing!

>>877626
>>Do you people really expect most threads on /a/ not to have just variations of "X thread. Talk about X" in the OP?
You mean the very thing the entire of 4chan used to do?

>>877626
>Most people on /a/ just want to fucking talk about the things they're watching or reading.
>My idea of talking about things that I'm watching or reading is to post the same inane bullshit over and over again
Really?

>>877611
>This is a piss-poor excuse to shitpost.
And this is a piss-poor excuse to call any post you dislike a shitpost.
>>877628
And you talk as if quality is something that can be objectively analyzed. Guess what, the board you're complaining about doesn't care about your quality standards.

>>877494
I was against /ag/, but seeing how things are going on (threads getting deleted at random) I'd rather have that than deal with asshole mods.

>>877632
>Quality isn't objective

Are you fucking stupid?

>>877631
Holy shit more than one person thinks the same way about something. Call the modcops that shouldn't be forgiven.

>>877636
>Posting the same inane bullshit
>Thinking
Really?

>>877634
For example, this is a low-quality post.

>>877613

Then it is also a fault in the moderation. It should also be addressed. However the topic as of now is /a/. Toy has a valid argument as figures aren't actually toys. So there really is no place for anime scale figures.

>>877639
And you're posting the same inane bullshit about inane bullshit over and over again. It's good to know that you can always have QUALITY discussions about the objective quality of 4chan on /qa/, /Quality Assurance/.

>>877640
You're only saying that because I disagree with you and notes that you're wrong.

What you want is a hugbox, and thus you need to go back to Tumblr.

If homothreads aren't allowed, why does YoI get to keep a thread up 24/7? They burn through posts so quickly with around 90 IPs. Is it containment? Do they actually have quality discussions? I know it's a currently-airing show but surely there isn't so much to discuss that they max out several threads a day.

>>877647
It's shitposting and blogging 24/7.

>>877645
>And you're posting the same inane bullshit about inane bullshit over and over again
That's just a fucking pathetic excuse to escape criticism. If you can't handle discussion beyond template threads and template responses, don't get involved.

>>877646
The same goes to you.

>>877650
Uh, no it doesn't, because I'm not the one stating that something is low quality on the basis of me disagreeing with it.

Just fucking leave this thread before you end up banned or something for being a sophistic retard.

>>877630
I'm not talking about some your random meme boards, I'm talking about /a/.

>>877631
Stop putting words in my mouth. The immense majority of threads on /a/ literally just exist so people can express their opinions or ideas about shows they're currently watching or characters they like, as well as being the source of news regarding these shows. The same for manga series as well.

Most threads are just used to create a space where people can do talk about these things and nothing more. This is simply a fact.

>>877652
It's what you said, I didn't have to put words in your mouth. Why not try MAL?

Free pass for being an airing show, but it's going to be like Osomatsu, give a it a couple months and it'll die out.

If you want to get angry about this rule though, JoJo is a lot worse and rage inducing, they will never change and they are not leaving.

>>877653
Why don't you go there if /a/'s standard in discussions isn't up to your tastes? You could also try Reddit, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook and possibly other things, maybe a Discord group for people that have the same superior ideals as you.

>>877662
>4chan's for shitposting and OTHER sites are for SERIOUS discussion~
Please just get the fuck out and go back to whatever site spawned this mentality that could have only come from a week of looking at /r/4chan screen caps you vile filthy faggot.

>>877652
>I'm not talking about some your random meme boards, I'm talking about /a/.
Every board including /a/ originally did not use "x threads" and template threads. In-fact, /a/ was one of the last boards to fall victim to such a fucking lazy shitposty thread creation method.

>>877591
Modcat fucking owns.

>>877653
>if people on /a/ want to have fun they should go back to /b/

>>877668
>Things that you said that you're putting in my mouth now
Back to 8gag, fag.

>>877663
But you're the one who hates /a/'s quality, which despite what some say has remained the same (if not fucking improved, good god 2009 was a terror) for a long time. Since you hate how the board behaves so much, why not try an alternative? /a/ won't change just because you want it to.

>>877668

Literally retarded. I don't understand how wanting some solace from the shitposting means we have to fuck off to some other place. Hilarious.

>>877671
>But you're the one who hates /a/'s quality,
WOW, now THAT's a fucking strawman.

>>877675
Well don't you see? It takes THOUGHT for me to make template threads and template replies, I don't have to be serious because 4chan is for that kind of fun, and OTHER sites are for serious discussion you see!

>>877657

I'm not angry about it, just curious since they have a new thread every time I check the catalogue it seems. They certainly don't have the usual general nonsense in the OP at least (pastebins, "editions", template phrases). I have a problem with generals acting like independent boards rather than a part of /a/ as a whole so the YoI threads surviving while a long-standing tradition like homothreads being deleted makes me question what the mods are trying to achieve.

>>877648

That's unfortunate. Due to the nature of the show I'm sure there are a lot of outsiders that never bothered to lurk in them too. It's a problem as old as /a/ with niche shows that reach a wide audience.

>>877677

You can make a thread to have "fun" but fucking leave us out of your shit.

>>877670
How? Literally all I've been saying all this time is that /a/ is, by nature, a board used for people to discuss things they're watching or reading (and "discuss" involves both having serious discussions or just shitposting), and that it's nonsensical to expect most threads to have OPs containing "unique" or "original" content, instead of just being used to give people the means to do that.

I'm not talking about OPs being just the same thing over and over again like the homo thread. But you must be incredibly delusional to expect threads like "The last episode of X is out" or "New chapter of X up. What do you think will happen next?" not to be commonplace.

>>877686
No!

ALL of 4chan is for fun. Don't like it, fuck off to Tumblreddit!

>>877677
This argument is fucking stupid. The only thing you are trying to argue is that you have the right to be a bad fucking poster because 4chan allows that sort of freedom. You are right, it is a place that allows that, just the same as the mods have every right to ban your dumb fucking arse for being a garbage poster shitting the place up and you have no right to disagree with their action.

4chan is meant to exist in the middle between serious and fun. But it is also meant to be original, not regurgitating the exact same dumb shit as last week.

>>877687
>Being a faggot
>Discussing things
I think you have the two confused. You know you're not discussing things, you're "having fun."

>>877690
Define "being a faggot".

>>877691
It's already been defined, you just said "Lmao just go to other sites xD"

>>877690
People can have fun in multiple ways, you know, with them not being limited to discussing things they like or shitposting. You're also implying that serious discussions can't be "fun" in a way.

>>877687
>and that it's nonsensical to expect most threads to have OPs containing "unique" or "original" content, instead of just being used to give people the means to do that.
Because that's how you are meant to make threads. It isn't nonsensical. OP's are meant to be a means to attempt to generate discussion, not be some general catch-all thread people post in to start some sort of discussion. You are treating 4chan like as if it is some form of traditional forum or places like reddit. Template threads don't generate jack shit and 9/10 times generate the /exact same thing/ every time.

>new episode is out
>new chapter
Are acceptable threads of this low quality bullshit. Everything else is not. Is it hypocritical? It sure is! But that doesn't matter.

>>877693
And yet the only kind of "fun" you lot are talking about is shitposting. Imagine that.

>>877692
Are you talking about >>877668?

If so you must have one of the worst reading comprehension I have ever seen. It was clear from that post that I was criticizing people like >>877653 who tell everyone they don't agree with to fuck off to other sites.

>>877694
>OP's are meant to be a means to attempt to generate discussion
And that's what they do all the time, at least on /a/. You can start ten different "This is your _____ tonight" threads about ten different series, and all of them will be different from each other, because that's how /a/ works. I have no idea where that meme came from, but if people don't mind it there's nothing wrong with using it.

>>877679
We only have guesses because mods tell us nothing, but if this is Kino, then he knows what the homo threads are and decided that they are not good enough for /a/. It truly sucks.

>>877699
>who tell everyone they don't agree with to fuck off to other sites.
You're LITERALLY doing that right now.

>>877694
You see. You have apparently misunderstood my point.

I'm not saying these OPs you consider "generic" or "low quality" are how things SHOULD BE. I'm saying this is how they ARE, and that expecting things to change to suit your standards would mean changing the way the entire board works.

>>877707
So it's okay if /a/ is low quality because you say so.
Got it.

>>877701
I find it difficult to believe that a mod who's used /a/ for ages would suddenly find issue in a kind of thread that's existed for forever, especially when it hasn't changed at all. All this "he's slowly weeding threads out" feels more like an excuse to justify the fact that he's slowly hearing about more and more threads a few people want removed and acting accordingly, because if in the end every thread will get deleted then the shitstorm will be even worse at that point than how it would be if he had just deleted everything at once.

>>877702
You either don't know how greentext works besides direct quotes, or you're shitposting.

Please show me exactly where I told someone to go to another site/board if they don't agree with me.

>>877709
Your standards of quality seem to greatly differ from /a/'s ones. Feel free to hate the board for that, but really all you can do in the end is whine and try to keep at least your posts up to your own standards.

On the other hand, if you don't even browse /a/, you have absolutely no say in any of this.

I didn't say it was okay. I said this is how it is, and changing it would be really difficult.

Why is this so hard to understand? I'm trying to be as clear as I can but it's like I'm talking to doors.
