/a/ and general threads round 2

>>934949
Mods should ban both series from /a/.

>>934961
They would just hole up somewhere like some of the kancolle cancer does on /jp/ from /a/ and come back during lapses of moderation. Some complain while in the process of shitting up a thread about getting rightfully deleted as they get told to fuck off if they have no translations to post either, it being promptly ignored. I'll see if I can find it.

Found it, although archived.

Shitposter called THK/Stellafag/etc is shitposting again in StB threads.
>>>/a/151786060
His posts are easy to recognise, because he frequently uses same shitposting over and over
xxxfag (where xxx stands for name of girl he hates)
xxxnigger (for example Harunigger in Kore Zombie threads)
Yuckynofag (Yahari threads)
asterisktards (related to Asterisk anime)
xxx a shit. A SHIT

Why is this shitposting allowed?

>>935191
>StB threads
Why exactly is StB still having threads? That show aired literally four years ago.

>>934949
GUP threads are pretty much the longest running cancerous general on /a/. For whatever fucking reason Kinomod was too much of a limp wrist fuck to actually go after generals, instead getting rid of one and handing out warnings to others, instead of getting rid of the others and making his warnings into a temporary fucking sticky so everyone on /a/ has no excuse to not be painfully aware of what moderation was trying to remove from /a/.

Fucking cancerous generalfags and selfish, lazy moderation.

>>935115
>>935124
Fuck off generalfag.

>>935203
>Concrete Revolutio not under "Best Animation"
Fucking plebs.

>>935211
It's not a Crunchyroll series, but was on Daisuki and Funimation.

Anyway, it definitely needs to be deleted for being shilling.

>>935209
With asan gone it's much less moderation overall.

>>935203
CR threads have more validity being on /a/ than the buyfag general has, considering the reasoning which has allowed the buyfag general to remain on /a/.

>>935203
And another one
>>>/a/151794914
>>935207
New season airs as OVA series

>>935214
Eh, I've hardly noticed a difference. Moderation on /a/ has been complete dogshit since it became completely overran at some point around 2009. Like all of the scum from 2007 and 2008 had settled in and mods basically gave up, aside from targeting a few outlying spammers.

>>935215
Doesn't matter, thread is pure shitposting so mods should do something anyway

>>935219
Tripfagging was a mistake and should've netted a permanent ban earlier on certain trips. Unfortunately this website is always oh so very lucky.

>>935219
Mods are losing the battle anyway.
They delete a general thread that has become utter shit, posters make angry posts for one or two days, and three days later, the general is simply back up again, and nothing has changed.

Mods are weak and dumb pathetic morons.
Sometimes, they try to show that they're still in charge by setting up an obvious shitpost-thread where they "ban" the OP for breaking the rules with their big bold red letters, instead of doing their job.

There ain't no excuses anymore.

>>935212
Kabaneri was exclusive to Amazon or some shit and that doesn't stop it from being in every category for some reason.

I'm a little annoyed that with all the great shows this year anyone would pick Kabaneri.

>>935209
>handing out warnings to others
Those things weren't written by him. It was fucking clear that someone with as much experience on /a/ as him wouldn't write something as stupid as what amounted to "please don't repeat ops thank you".

>much less moderation overall.
That's now what I've seen for the past month and half, moderation has increased so much that any thread that isn't strictly on-topic gets deleted. In fact, plenty of on-topic threads have gotten deleted as well.
>>935217
And what the fuck are you doing reporting threads on /qa/ instead of just telling them to fuck off no /a/ and reporting them? Are you so new that you think complaining about shit in here can do anything other than increase the amount of shitposting on /a/? We've gone through this countless times by now, including back when /q/ was around, and the logical conclusion was to let /a/'s problems stay as far away from /qa/ as possible. You and your autistic tantrum against those few threads aren't helping the board at all.

>>935226
>Are you really implying that old shows shouldn't have threads? Seriously?
No, just that they shouldn't have generals.

>>935220
>thread is pure shitposting
Only thanks to the fucking morons trying to spam it to death. Face it: it's these fuckers who are the problem on /a/ and they used to do the same with Naruto threads before m00t got so fed up he personally stepped in and defaced /a/ over it, sending a huge message to the spergs to fuck off and get over themselves.
CR is anime and is far more on topic that a vast majority of the lewd image dump threads and lazy template threads which plague the board 24/7. On top of that, the most of the subs used in "fan" subs are rips from CR.
/a/ can be so fucking hypocritical at times.

>>935221
Wouldn't have been such a big deal if 4chan didn't explode into a massive site with millions of people, something it simply will never be able to handle properly with the system it uses. Not with a majority American userbase, anyway. Sure, maybe if we had shitloads of smaller boards for more specific topics but m00t and his fucking insistence on having as few boards as possible, along with trying to pimp the site out for traffic, was basically a means to guarrentte that the monolithic board format will always function more of a moshpit than anything else.
All good for a group of detached faggots hiding away in IRC, I guess.
I mean, we were basically founded and moulded with a small board mentality and anyone with any means to change the format completely failed to act while 4chan became far too bit for its boots. We have all of these small board features smooshed into a massive, singular board fucking melting pot format.

>>935226
>Those things weren't written by him.
Yes they were.
>It was fucking clear that someone with as much experience on /a/ as him wouldn't write
Man, you've got no fucking idea. That's how they fucking interact with us: aggressive followed up by passive aggressive and half arsed attempts at being cordial.

>>935233
It's anime, dickhead.

>>935229
Huh. I haven't been keeping up with anime news for the last few months so I didn't know about that.

Crunchyroll sure has come far. When I see someone claim that anime is dying in the west I have to hope they are trolling because the alternative would be that they are retarded.

>>935210
Do you need another thread full of people telling you that there's no problem with those threads being there while you ignore everything they say and use arguments that only apply to /vg/?

>>935233
An anime awards thingo for an anime streaming website is far more on-topic than goddamn livestreams to a club who plays music from video games, touhou, etc.
I bet you'd be the first to defend those stickies of "muh board culture".

>>935236
I have to thank you for slowly but surely killing the meaning of generals. One day you'll ensure that either no threads about anything can be made on /a/, or you'll make dumb mods realize that it's stupid to try getting rid of "generals" in there.

New Crunchyroll shill thread got finally deleted. Only took one hour and 30 minutes.

Mods, you are lame.

>>935245
Nobody from /a/ cares if it's on-topic or not, they only care whether they like it or not. That's why Naruto threads were banned by the board's population for the longest time, before moot decided to fuck with everyone.

>>935248
If you want to complain about the moderation, why don't you go to IRC where you can actually talk to the mods directly? What do you expect /qa/ to do about your problem? None of us are mods.

What you're doing right now is the equivalent of screaming into your pillow.

>>935253
Don't worry, bro. Some of the mods do actually lurk on /qa/.

>>935115

>>935254
That's not an excuse to avoid going to IRC. You can complain on /qa/ for an hour and thirty minutes or you can go to IRC and get your answer immediately.

>>935257
I want to reach a wider audience and continue showing off the incompetence of the moderation staff to the rest of 4chan.
Far more lurkers on /qa/ than on #4chan.

>>935260
So you have an interest in creating a big scene rather than just trying to solve the problem in a rational and efficient way
Yeah, we get it, everyone gets the point you're trying to make, and about 20~30 people give a shit, much fewer who actually would put in effort to do anything about it
And whoa shit dude, an anon on /qa/ is complaining about moderation, that's some breaking news shit right there. After all, the general 4chan user base is usually known to be so supportive and trusting of the moderation team, you're really gonna make waves

>>935247
Please don't mind him.

Modern /a/ is making me sad.

>>935266
The only duty you and I have is to click on the report button.
If the mods fail to act in time, or in this case even allow the older rule-breaking thread to continue existing, then that is to their shame and detriment.

>>935291
>their shame and detriment
I can see where he comes from especially when you get warned/banned when reporting rule breaking threads and posts within.

>>935266
Raising awareness can be a good thing in some cases. Showing just how bad /a/ can get really forces the board to be more humble lest they look even more underage. It's chemotherapy for board culture (cancer).

CR shill still at it.

>>>/a/151801289

Are we gonna have to deal with this garbage for a whole week? Since when does /a/ care about CR shit? Can we have MAL and reddit AOTY thread too now?

>>935469
shill to attract newfags from /a/

Being fine with a thread not actually about anime but linking to some other site and some poll they are having is exactly the same as arguing it's fine for threads directly linking to NeoGAF and Reddit are fine on /v/.

Cross-website site meta is both a.) Off topic and b.) Viral advertising and trying to force themselves on local users. Any mod who doesn't fucking understand this and argues that it should be fine to freely force crunchyshit on /a/ (or neogaf or Kotaku on /v/) should be fucking demoted, any janitor who doesn't relieved of duty. Those people objectively do not care much about 4chan (much less the collective voices of millions of users on this) relative to other sites and inarguably should be nowhere near running it.

And the viral advertising thread is back on /a/.

If they want to advertise that badly here, then they are going to have to pay a handsome fee for ad space.

The worst part is that the shills know that most users on 4chan use the catalog anyway and respond to the OP first.

What are you going to shove onto /jp/ this time?

So why is /a/ the hot button topic right now?
What about generals on the other boards? /co/, /m/, /tv/, all have generals but mods don't lift a finger on those. Not to mention the generals on /pol/ but that is it's own problem in of itself.

It's funny seeing all these people in this thread that I doubt go to /a/ much less like anime taking on this crusade against /a/.
Instead of doing the logical thing and ignoring something they don't like, they force their personal feelings and views on a site because they feel they are a special snowflake.

>>940317
Keep /a/ clean from general threads that always ultimately devolve into shitty circlejerks where people don't even talk about the anime or the manga of the topic anymore.
Seriously, what's the fucking problem of some general-posters to try to talk about their preferred topic on other fitting sub-boards?
Why do they always want to try to reach bump limit all the time? There is no reward for doing that.

>>940299
Because some clueless mod decided to listen to whiners after letting a meta-thread happen, giving them more material to use against so-called generals. The fact that the current mod is completely crazy and seems to hate /a/ doesn't help much.
>>940436
>Seriously, what's the fucking problem of some general-posters to try to talk about their preferred topic on other fitting sub-boards?
If you haven't noticed that the 4chan community isn't homogeneous enough to only post things on boards where they're strictly on-topic with absolutely no tolerance to content overlap, then you must be really new here. Each board is its own community, you know, and "on-topic" isn't something that can be defined as black or white. Sadly, recognizing whether something is on-topic or not takes experience (also known as lurking), which isn't a requirement for browsing or moderating 4chan anymore.
And great job generalizing everything as well instead of looking at each instance separately. But then again I guess that requires effort, just saying all generals are shit is much easier.

>>940436

I asked you multiple times to provide proof for this yet you never had. There might be some shitposting, there is no way around that, but it literally not true that it is off-topic.

But I know you will just ignore this post, like you always do when someone speaks up against your bullshit.

DO NOT REPLY TO THIS POSTER, HE WILL IGNORE ANYTHING THAT GOES AGAINST HIS VIEWS.

>>940436
>Seriously, what's the fucking problem of some general-posters to try to talk about their preferred topic on other fitting sub-boards?
Because they see people that like what they like, and automatically cling to them for that reason alone. They say "Hey, I like X, they like X! We should discuss other things we have in common instead of what the thread is for."

>Why do they always want to try to reach bump limit all the time?
Probably because they feel like it isn't a "proper" or "complete" thread if it doesn't hit bump limit. They need to "earn" general #679 by "completing" threads.

Generalfags treat 4chan like a chatroom and that ruins 4chan because 4chan isn't a chatroom.

>>>/a/151905937

>We're not allowed to talk about anime on /a/
I don't know what's left? What do you want to from /a/? Live watch threads? Shitty waifu threads? What? Generals is such a wide subject that covers so much that there isn't a clear example as to what is allowed.
All I see here are people posting thread that they don't like, it's personal, not professional.

Why are /y/ lewds allowed to be posted on a blue board in Arc-V threads?

File: concerned.png (191KB, 419x398px)

The fact that some mod is actually listening to someone who's atutasmically going DLET THIS for threads he dislikes on /qa/ is the biggest proof that he doesn't belong on /a/ and should stop trying to moderate that board.

>>941067
Make a thread with some question in the topic, accept that it only gets 30-50 posts at most, let it die instead of trying to keep it alive at any cost.
There. That's how it works.

Be reasonable. Don't start threads with extremely dumb questions. Don't spam threads. Behave like somebody with common sense.

Some off-topic discussion is always fine, and sometimes, a good joke can lighten up the mood of the discussion. But don't force them.

Learn to let go.

>mods have to find a way to get rid of shitposters
you have no idea how long these posters have been reported and ignored.

To simply put it, if the mods dont want to do something simple as remove, warn/ban then they leave the message stating its fine for them to continue posting it.

threads become general because posters make it that way. not the thread itself.

No one in history has ever insulted a moderator before.

Well, if it is between CR and commie with their shitty meme subs, I will rather go with CR since they are not fucking up their subs on purpose...

I honestly see no problem with CR's translations and you can get them for free by downloading from HorribleSubs anyway.

>>942428
The problem is that there are phrases that don't translate well into english, they will just put in the first fitting 'meaning'. Or they fail to translate the sentence as a whole, and it sometimes lose meaning. It's not bad for subs, but I wouldn't say it is good either.

>>942452
Well, the reason for that is because they are working on a tight schedule. Of course most fansubs will be an improvement (though some of them are idiots who only stick idiotic memes into the translation) but if you're looking for a fast and solid translation Crunchyroll gets the job done adequately.

It should also be noted that they have a number of different translators working for them and some of them are better than others. For example, Anna Exter does pretty high quality work.

>>942463
No shit, unless the translator is fluent with a large vocabulary, he won't be able to do quality subs in a few hours. I'd rather wait for quality subs, and I don't really watch airing shows anyway. Though it's a pain when the only subs is commie or some other QUALITY subs...

>>942452
If you're an EOP you won't have any point of reference to understand why X was translated 'incorrectly' but if you're not an EOP, why the fuck would you care?

>>942463
>Of course most fansubs will be an improvement
Rarely. Fan subbers and fan scanlators as a general rule don't really have an advanced comprehension of the language and wouldn't be able to get work translating for commission by actual businesses.
Those in the Japanese to English translation for anime are kind of like American voice actors for English dubbing of anime in that they are pretty shitty. Anons often complain about fansubbing "dying" or what have you but the reality of the situation is that companies like CR routinely provide far better quality consistent English subtitles than fansubbers ever really did. So even while it isn't great, it's a lot better than EOPs have been getting spoonfed to them for years.
You'd think /a/ wouldn't be so antagonistic towards companies like CR, who without they wouldn't get subs for pretty much every show they talk about basically as soon as it has aired in Japan. It's a really strange situation of beggars demanding food, accepting handouts but slapping the hand of the people who are giving them free food, as though the beggars are somehow in a position to look down on those providing them charity. That's not really elitism, as some put it, it's more entirely unwarranted arrogance and self entitlement.

>>941397
Fuck off mod

>>942477
Sometimes fansubbers don't touch a show at all though, or if they do they just slap on the official subs without changing anything. For example I'm pretty sure Arslan Senki still only has an official translation. And it's a really good show so it's not like fansubbers do it based on quality. The fansub scene is dying out because they see no reason to compete with official TLs.

Anyway, you may be like that, but speed is important to a lot of people. And CR comes with pretty solid translation quality for the speed. So if you ARE watching a show as it's airing, there's not really any real reason not to use them.

>>942482
>If you're an EOP you won't have any point of reference to understand why X was translated 'incorrectly' but if you're not an EOP, why the fuck would you care?
>you either fully understand the language or don't understand a single word at all

Yes, some fansubbers are bad, but there are good ones too.

>It's a really strange situation of beggars demanding food, accepting handouts but slapping the hand of the people who are giving them free food,
>not wanting expired food is bad

>>942496
They simply don't have the manpower to make subs for everything. It's not a secret that subgroups only sub animes they like.

/v/ is because of the inherent culture of /v/ you moron. That's why /vg/ was spun off from it, because the critical mass of people wanting something different couldn't be contained.

Just like a person, you can't replace the innards of a fucking board and still call it the same board. No one just 'gets used to it', no matter how hard you try to shill the new vision. So no. It's like fucking Nipplegate on /a/ all over again.

And moreover, I don't WANT your vision of what things should be. It's pure shit. I've seen this story before, it doesn't end well. Who gave you authority anyways? The majority certainly doesn't want what you want. So fuck you and your "vision". Gather you and your tiny minority of 'visionaries' and demand a different board. We don't have to adapt to you. /a/ was ALWAYS like this.

All /v/ needed and still needs is proper rule enforcement. That's literally all it needs. Delete a kid's garbage and ban them consistently and quickly enough and they'll get bored their attention spans are too short to deal with getting banned within 10 minutes for a few months.

All /a/ needs is also rule enforcement.

>>944616
You're right in a way anon, but the problem is the rules aren't rules. Even the fucking mods don't understand what the rules are. And many of the new crop are fucking newfags who don't understand inherited law, or inherited culture becoming law. Hence, the previously mentioned Nipplegate and japmoot having to lay the hammer down.

And even now, people still get slapped with warns and bans, for that exact same "crime"! It's all so arbitrary, not only because the rules aren't enforced, not only because the rules are selectively enforced, but because rules are whatever some autisitic visionary believes them to be depending on his whims at the moment.

>>944627
>Even the fucking mods don't understand what the rules are
Or there aren't enough of them. Or their standards have diminished to almost nothing after years of dealing with garbage. They're tired, dead, and just don't care. Or so it seems. The biggest issues with the userbase is the high number of people treating every board like it's /b/ or [s4s], as well as ban evasion.

Then what's the fucking point of the recruitment drive? Even after we remove all the dud applications, there are still many, many people who are clearly qualified. Yet from the looks of it not even 1% of those get in.

>Can we really blame them?
Yes.

>>944700
Because they don't fully trust anyone. At all. I think the mods have lost sight of what makes a truly good poster because they can't trust anyone on a website with so many bad users and such heavy ban evasion.

>>944649
I don't get why you're posting this here. Unless you mean it's a general, and are trying to encourage someone to ban it. In that case, you're the problem. One can only hope the mods and jannies are completely purged and burned out of their dilapidated nests. We need a redo at this point - threads can be littered with shitposters or spammers, and nothing is done. Dare I say it's the mods and/or jannies their selective enforcement that is responsible for the current mess? It's a cart before the horse problem.

>>944709
So that means the recruitment drives are pointless?

Not him, but I'd say they are noble in spirit, but basically, it's as true as ever an example that power corrupts. But even more, it attracts people of a certain bent. Power hungry dickwads. It's the very same people hitting report and converging on /qa/ to yell loudly and try to give the impression they are the voice of the majority that enmasse apply to be janitors.

Hence why things remain shit and get worse. They don't ever, EVER want to actually clean up threads, smack spammers, or do any actual janitorial duties, but see it as a road to being a mod, and crushing dissent and anything that rustles their jimmies or their quest to MAKE boards conform to their image.

It's nearly all egomaniac control freaks applying. Sad state of affairs but there you go.

>>944918
Close to it, but not quite. I'm sure at least one new, good janitor will stick around every recruitment drive. But it's really not enough because the website is severely understaffed and unguided for how big its userbase is. And what about all the janitors that quit over time as well? And what of the mostly static number of mods when more are clearly needed? There is no proper sense of what is OK or not, and I can't really understand why. Maybe it's a byproduct of mods constantly being bombarded for years by the worst people on a website that was never known for having very intelligent users?

If the board is still like this after more than a decade, shouldn't it be time for you to realize that what you think it should be is not what it wants to be? Maybe you should try a different board, or even a different site.

>>945018
I like this thing because the empty shell seems interesting. If something wasn't supposed to be what I've been told it's supposed to be, then the rules would have changed. It's very clear that something is not quite right with 4chan.

4chan's rules are meant to be guidelines, but new mods often enough treat them as the only truth and punish people for not completely adhering to them, most often because they haven't lurked enough in a board to absorb a single bit of their culture (which, yes, is something very important on 4chan).

>>945027
Or they just outright hate the thing and looking for justification on a ban.

>>945013

>>945026
I always keep in the back of my mind that if I ever got range banned, it would be because someone really, really awful was the cause.

>>945027
You do know that existing rules exist specifically for the benefit of those who most appreciate their boards respective topic? Boards don't have rules so users can constantly break them and shitpost loud enough, that's counterintuitive to a boards designated topic. Rules are guidelines to tell you how far you can go on a board. If you are within boundaries set by rules, then you won't have trouble. The rules are there for users who most respect the designated topic. The culture is shaped by rules in the first place, break them and you essentially shit on the people who actually like what a board is supposed to be about.

>>945026
>IMG_1729.png
I want to believe.

>>945037
That's like saying going slightly over the speed limit should get you a ticket. Most of the rules are not meant to be enforced literally, only the most hardcore are, like the cp one...
Of course going way over the limit should get you banned, but the internet is not serious business...

>>945054
Comparing the enforcement of rules to speed limits is vastly over simplifying it. Human nature is far more complex than a number. Again, the rules are for the good of those who most enjoy and respect the topic of a board. And I do understand how opinions of what should and should not be allowed can differ between people. But when posting on a website for adults those limits should be much more clear to people. Decency on a reasonable level should be expected. Understand the differences between opinions and insults, and refrain from insulting people who have opinions that differ from your own. Keep erotica, strong political views, and racial slurs on their designated boards. There are so many that I can't even list them, and I know saying "act like an adult when moderating, janitoring, and posting" is not really a clear enough answer, but I somehow expect most adults to know better because in the end, many adults do know what they should and shouldn't do when they see the rules.

>>945065
>Human nature is far more complex than a number
But apparently, not complex enough to conflict with a handful of rules...

>Decency on a reasonable level should be expected.
>refrain from insulting people
>Keep erotica, strong political views, and racial slurs on their designated boards.
Lol, this faggot. Do you even know what website are you on?

The rule which applies on most boards is: Lurk more.

That simple, observe the board, then assimilate. Anything beside this is unnecessary.

>>945075
I lurked so long I grew tired of edgy garbage becoming more and more prevalent. It's clear now that you're arguing the rules aren't very important and that several boards aren't worse off now than they were years ago. You've shown you have little to no respect for the very thing that makes every board what it is. Remember that the rules are for people who actually like a board's topic.

No, the rules are for newfags, who have yet to understand board culture, I frequent a bunch of boards and I have no idea what rules they have. Decent posters don't need rules to tell them what is acceptable to post, observing the board for only a month, maybe more for slower boards, should give you a good understanding of how it works.

You're why 4chan is such a mess.

>>945092

>>945095
I'm the one that thinks making boards more enjoyable for the people who are actually interested in talking about their topics, and pushing trolls and shitposters out, is a better idea.

I think you are mistaking me for someone, I wasn't even using /qa/ back then. Probably. But, I am certainly not samefagging.

And stricter rule enforcement is not going to make it more enjoyable, it is going to make it more stale, because people will be afraid to try new things. Off course blatant shitposting and offtopic should still be cleaned up, but I've already said that, so you are arguing for 'no fun allowed' because it will somehow make it more fun...

One last reminder that giving priority to board culture over rules means you're also defending the boards you don't like that are garbage. The rules are for those who actually enjoy a board's subject.

User satisfaction so long as it's for the integrity of a board's defined topic. You wouldn't go to a board and defend the people that ban evade to shitpost and troll to negatively contribute to the culture of that board.

>>945002
What are you trying to accomplish?

>>945027
Anon, I agree with you, what I meant by the rules aren't the rules is that they only apply on the arbitrary whims and wishes of an often power mad induvidual. They are rules, but they have no element of actual justness to them, which is essential to have a functioning society and the rule of law.

And yes, board culture is incredibly important. Hence, Nipplegate. What's sad is the mods still haven't learned even with that.

>>945029
And that's the rub again. The rules are more a way for a control freak autist to merely cover his backside. They are an element in capriciousness and arbitrary "enforcement". They have no actual element of the rule of law to them. You'll notice the majority in a thread doesn't these days even post until at least a day has passed so that they can be sure a thread will likely not just randomly get nuked.

That's not how you fucking build an Internet community.

And the worst part is we have no appeal mechanism. THIS place is not an appeal mechanism. It's literally been hijacked by one of the people it was meant to stop (determined autists trying to wreck the experience for the majority), and protects the people it was meant to keep an eye on (rogue jannies and mods).

>>945037

Not going to let you get away with this lie. You are NOT the MAJORITY. Stop talking in the majority's name. And stop trying to say you just want rules so everyone can have a good time and encourage common decency. You know where you are. You're trying to weasel in a favored enforcement regime that you can try to sit on here and tailor to your benefit. And if not you, you're a muppet for those who do, because that's precisely what happened already. And your other lie, most of the "rules" came AFTER the board, not before.

Again, people like you are the reason Nipplegate happened.

>>945124
That's why everything should be tolerated at the very least, except for obvious shitposting that goes too far (the ability to decide when it goes that far comes with experience, which should be expected of mods). A shitpost-less 4chan would have absolutely no soul. If any subject or concept in particular has survived in any given board for a long time, that means most of the residents of that board are fine with it, even if they're only like that because they can hit the hide button, and that means that there's no need for mod intervention (especially from mods who are so new that they can't understand why certain boards are fine with certain things that could seem off-topic at first glance).

>>945221
>And the worst part is we have no appeal mechanism.
Well, there is one place: https://www.4chan.org/feedback (the very first category is moderation feedback)
However, yelling at a wall is probably just as effective because there's absolutely no confirmation that anyone reads what you write there.

4chan would improve a fuckton if moderation was more transparent, but I guess that would limit the power of our staff if only slightly and that's unacceptable. I'd be fine even if they were more communicative as they fucking used to be, but nowadays mods can get fired by trying to do that so I understand why they would avoid it.

And no one cares about what you, again, the extreme minority, wants. Except some rogue mod apparently.

>>946731
Why did /toy/ get a board and why don't they want /a/ buyfag threads there?
Genuine curiosity, I've no investment in the discussion.

>>946771
You'd have to ask them for an indepth explanation, but basically one reason /toy/ was made was because toy threads were popping up in every board more or less, and it was thought that helping them consolidate would ease issues on the other boards. The issue is that /toy/ has a culture, and their focus isn't really the same as /a/ figure buyers. Buyfag threads have way more to do with /a/ then with /toy/, they (the vast majority) feel. It's not that they hate /a/ stuff or the occasional anime image, but Buyfag threads have their own culture. So /toy/ doesn't want buyfag threads, and buyfag threaders don't want to move to /toy/.

It's because a fucking transformer or a mecha is not the same as an idol statue. Fucking people talking about things they have no idea, move x to y, but he has never been to either x or y...

>>946771
>>946801
Statues aren't allowed on /toy/ we hate them. Neither are dakimuras or the other retarded shit you /a/utists buy
No articulation = not /toy/

>>946801
And buyfag threads deal in everything you can buy, not just figures. Moving them to /jp/ is a whole nother story, in short, they adamantly say "no". And likewise, buyfag threaders don't want to move there either. Mutually incompatible cultures.

How fucking dense are you? No one said they don't want moderation, but the way you want to implement is completely against what 4chan is supposed to be. Fuck off back to le eddit.

>>946879
Sorry, I don't want more boards to be like the least liked boards on 4chan.

>>946883
No you want more boards to be like your shitty subreddit where you can freely control what people could or could not post...

>>946885
Sorry, I don't want more boards to be like the least satisfactory boards on 4chan. 4chan is the only social media-ish website I use and I grew out of liking the trash posts several years ago.

Nice save there, but go back to redshit.

What you consider trash is not what most users consider trash. I'm tired, we're tired of your efforts to "save" the boards. Why don't you fuck off instead?

>>945990
4chan should literally just have fun boards and serious boards desu

>>946990
Try /b/ and [s4s]. All the "fun" you could ever want- Unless you're on of those guys who has to ruin other people's innocent fun to have "fun" yourself.

>>946998
the problem with [s4s] and /b/ is that they are both unthemed and trying to cram all the fun into two boards makes them very hard to use

like if there were literally only two boards for serious discussion that had to be shared by everyone from hardcore weeb to autistic neckbeard and everyone inbetween, they'd be unmanageable shit boards too

there should be more "themed" boards for people to have fun in

>>947029
It's almost like most people prefer engaging and respectful conversation.

>>947060
this had fucking nothing to do with what i said

>>947067
Two boards for "fun" against many other boards that are not for "fun". Most people complain about boards with too much "fun". Like /pol/.

>>947073
>two boards for "fun"
this has more to do with what the staff want than what users want

>Most people complain about boards with too much "fun". Like /pol/.
people who like "fun" don't complain about serious discussion, but people who like serious discussion do complain about "fun"

people who like "fun" only complain about the mods

also /pol/ is a terribly unfun board

>>>/a/152072843

>>947086
I don't really understand what you want here. You want boards for seriously discussing a topic and boards for... shitposting, but themed around a topic?

>>947255
>shitposting
basically all of early 4chan would be considered "shitposting" by today's grown-up serious standards, it's a word like "bait" that should have never been invented

>>947274
No, it really wouldn't. Was it a little more free and easy? Of course. It was also a fuckton smaller. Discussion could still be had (and was) around/including the more "fun" posts.

>By today's grown-up serious standards
Come on, nigger. The utter shite of today is not comparable to how 4chan was "back when" and disliking the amount of shit that is about nowadays is not really "serious standards".

There's a difference between being serious business all the time and going full /b/, if you disagree it's likely that you have no experience in here. If you want nazi moderation enforcing seriousness and lots of content on every post, there's a place I can recommend you to that you're very familiar with.

Go back to red dit. Or did they throw you out because you're such a fa ggot?

That thread was on topic, it had translations that someone worked very hard on and wanted to show off. Stop bitching about things you don't like and grow up, you don't get your ways contrary to what your mother's told you. But I doubt you could stop sucking her tit to ever realize that.

>>947867
Why are you directing your anger at me? I don't hold any power. Are you okay, anon?

>>947872
Just let them have their fucking thread, who gives a shit? It's honestly more trouble than it's worth.

>>947888
Why don't you hop over to IRC and tell them that, anon? I'm not a moderator.

>>947892
What happens when this thread dies? You make another and keep doing this? Don't you have anything better to do than play pretend? You're right, you're not a mod, so stop acting like one and deciding what should get deleted.

>>947904
>deciding what should get deleted
That's right, I can't decide what gets deleted. So, why are you here?

>>947916
I could ask you the same thing.

honestly count the number of posts in that thread that were about characters who even showed up in the anime as background characters

it's like not even 50%

More than half the threads on /a/ have nothing to do with anime. Get over yourself.

Or you realize that's always been the case and /a/ has always self moderated. You would know that if you were here longer than a week.
If you really think you can be some hero and save 4chan then you are more delusional than I thought. 4chan's reputation is tainted beyond repair, there's a reason Hiro can't get any ads on this site because no one wants to touch it with a 100 foot pole. 4chan is a sinkhole for money which is why it's up for debate to burn the entire thing to the ground and walk away. So the least you could do is just let people enjoy themselves while they still can and stop picking fights.
There will always be shitposting on /a/, on this entire website. And there will always be generals, if not KanColle then something else down the line. There will always be something so trying to fight it all and win is fruitless and you're better off fighting the tides. Generals are bubbles, they will grow and grow and grow and then pop and they'll be gone. Yes it might get messy but if you can contain then they'll destroy themselves and move on. That's the only way. You cannot force people to do something because they will fight back, let them find their own way. It's that simple.

This is a message to mods and jannys too.

>>948002
>jannys
What?

>>948002
>/a/ has always self-moderated
you can't self-moderate a general thread off the board without an orbital shitpost array because general threads don't play by the rules that the rest of 4chan does, and mods don't let people use the orbital shitpost array anymore

waiting for something to go away is not self-moderation

>>948002
>Or you realize that's always been the case and /a/ has always self moderated.
Self moderation is just another world for the hivemind, newfag. It's not good thing and /a/ is an example of a board that simply cannot "moderate itself" in any manner outside of autistically shitposting threads to death which you aren't supposed to like, regardless of them being on topic. Do you not remember that it go so pathetic with the hivemind trying to shut down Naruto threads that m00t himself stepped in and defaced /a/ with a Naruto related theme as a clear message telling the "self moderating" anons to fuck off?

Self moderation is something most people have no real understanding of and almost always something clueless newfags use as an attempt to defend peer pressure driven shitposting as a desperate act to "fit in".

Child porn is posted daily on this site. Orange boards have rape, gore, porn, people being killed, but you pick the battle against people enjoying their Japanese cartoons. Man, your priorities are fucked up.

>>948027
>Child porn is posted daily on this site.
i report it when i see it and the mods delete it, so unless you're proposing some sort of sweeping change to the system that stops CP from being posted i don't know why you would bring it up

>Orange boards have rape, gore, porn, people being killed
it's a good thing i don't give a shit about orange boards

You can't self-moderate a general thread off the board because they're actually on-topic, and spamming in on-topic threads is a huge sign that you're a faggot. Self-moderation still works for things that most of the board doesn't want, like e-celeb threads and /qa/-tier shit.
