The absolute STATE of this board right now

>>38494074
This board has been fucked ever since moot meme'd it as the loser board, 90% of people come here just to make baits threads and shit post to make fun of the 10% that are losers.

You must be the 10% and new if you don't know this.

>>38494109
90% of the people here have been making the same few bait posts for around 6 years over and over and you don't consider them losers?
Also there are hundreds of posts still daily that seem pretty damn genuine so your numbers are off even if the general idea is true.

I'm not saying we should ban everyone who ever mentions being a girl or not a virgin, I'm just saying that the constant racebait threads, trapshit, dick pic spam, etc isn't ideal.

>>38494193
This board is ment to be a meme factory that's OC no rules beyond that, if you don't like it, get the fuck out.

>>38494208
>meant to be
Why, because it was originally thought up to be?
Even though it developed a certain culture around the "losers" who frequented it, and was demanded to be brought back by those same "losers" after being deleted.

If you don't know what you're talking about and just want to appear like you're a le oldfag XD maybe you should fuck off

Also even if you want that, almost nothing original ever takes place here, the robot even encourages less originality because it incentivises people to try making the same posts over and over with only slight alterations.

>>38494275
Its almost like a game. Who can make the same thread with the slightest difference

>>38494074
There's literally nothing wrong with r9k at the moment.

>>38494299
It should be a much more interesting and innovative place than its current state of
>tfw no gf

There's a meguca board I made but it's pretty dead at the moment

what's wrong:
>/pol/-during-election-year tier bait threads
>people cheating the robot (ex. anything ending in 'oregano')
>lazily disguised porno threads or any type
how to fix it:
>universal insta-ban for 1 month to anyone posting a post < 40 words

>>38494392
Or you could turn the bot off

Who asked for it to be turned back on, anyway

>>38494404
It should always be on. There's no point in not having it on, otherwise why is it r9k

>>38494404
Why the fuck would you do that? This board would again be flooded with the dame exact posts and threads.

I've been browsing 4chan for 7~ years, and the entire time people have been complaining about newfags and how bad the site has degraded over the year. Complaining that 4chan used to be better has always been fucking happening, basically nothing has changed. People just like to whinge

>>38494404
That wouldn't do shit. Not that the bot does that much for the state of the board but turning it off would only make things worse as it stands.

Does anyone else notice that the one thing that EVERY shitpost has in common is that it is under 30-40 words?

Anybody who takes the time to write a decently lengthy post has an at least marginally well thought out point to make in it.

>>38494411
To be board for people discussing being a shut-in, a loser, and life as a shut-in loser in general? This board never aligned with mootfag's vision

>>38494413
Which is why the moderators should be enforcing rules which reflect the culture of this board. The ROBOT9001 algo is flawed in the sense that the same topics can be made and discussed ad nauseum; it happens even if the person isn't (intentionally) evading the filter. The filter is stupid, and only works for faced-paced chat rooms or chat rooms in general.

Read https://blog.xkcd.com/2008/01/14/robot9000-and-xkcd-signal-attacking-noise-in-chat/

The robot9000 filter can only filter the most obvious of cancer. I.e "checked"; etc. It doesn't filter conversation topics. That is not what it is for.

>>38494456
Which rules are those? /r9k/ has practically none.

>>38494074
Insta-ban for the following is needed:
>tinder
>trap/homo
>racebaiting
>racemixing
god damn it just designate all the gay porn crap unfit for /lgbt/ to /trash/

>>38494483
1. Limit discussion to that about life, depression, hikikomori culture, etc.
2. Enforce /soc/-like user limitations. Virgins stay out of nonvirgin threads if it is requested. Women stay out of mens threads if it is requested.

There, you are done. You have removed all the cancer that plagues this board. Women are still happy. Men are still happy. Men can easily filter all female-centric conversation topics and women can do the same. Cancerous threads are forced to go elsewhere. Generals will naturally start to form and those will keep the cancer out. Cliques will start to form. The community will heal itself.

If the moderators do this, I guarantee that everyone will be happy. Something that is usually impossible to accomplish on imageboards.

>>38494525
You're not the one who makes rules here. /r9k/ has never been what you said.

Prove me wrong. Show me where your points have ever been said in the rules.

>>38494639
Is the new janyteam recruit feeling angry? Calm down, Mr. For Free. There is no need to be upset.

If you had lurked this board from the beginning, or even as recently as 2014, you would know the culture of this place. Rules are not written in stone. Rules do not define the culture of a board. This board has certainly gone down in quality, but it has hit a new rule as of recently.

Usually, I would show you an archive, but all of the archivers currently have their searches down.

>>38494693
I have been here far longer than you, kiddo. /r9k/ is simply going back to what it originally was meant for. Cancer like you belong on wizchan. You were never welcomed here.

What ever happened to "There are no girls on the internet". Instead even a slight mention of a posters possession of a cunt now results in 100+ replies.

>>38494727
I think I know exactly who you are. Your writing style and ideas. Your moot dicksucking, it all fits perfectly together.

But that's offtopic. To think that anything on 4chan is at it was originally intended is silly. The entire website has far expanded beyond it's original purpose, and /r9k/ is yet another example of that. /r9k/ is something that grew far beyond its original purpose. And now, that good board, and the culture that surrounded it, is dying because of flood. Flood that you refuse to remove. You sit around and ignore the countless issues that pile up, and any and suggestions to remove it are ignored. If this is what the original /r9k/ was supposed to be, it already exists. It's on >>>/b/. Because the last thing this filter does is enforce originality. The board itself is the most original thing on 4chan, and the robot had no part in creating it.

>>38494789
I have no idea why you think you know who I am, but that's irrelevant. The only thing that matters is that you're wrong. If you want a board where you enforce the rules, go create one on reddit or 8gag. Or create your own website.

No, I'm certain of who you are. You cannot hide from me, hotpocket.

>If you want a board where you enforce the rules, go create one on reddit or 8gag. Or create your own website.

Yes, you see, this is where the hotpocket truly exposes himself. He cannot comprehend what cultural rules are because he spends his entire life moderating imageboards which he does FOR FREE, as a result he cannot comprehend anything other than the holy book known as DA RULEZ which he must constantly enforce FOR FREE.

When anyone outside of his power seat dares to suggest anything even remotely related to setting policy, or even makes a suggestion to do so in a thread FOR SUGGESTIONS he will lose his fucking mind and contemplate suicide, because he is threatened; threatened that his only outlet for power in his life will be removed.

You and your lack of action are the sole reason that this board is dead.

>>38494776
in the old times anons used to pretend to be women to get praise and sexual attention from other anons (hence required proof)
now they do it to rile up a bunch of incel mongoloids who have an autistic meltdown whenever they see the word 'fembot' in a thread
ironically now the only way to get sexual attention is to pretend to be a boy pretending to be a girl

>>38495019
Since you males the rules here, why don't you enforce them?

>>38495070
Sure thing buddy. Just give me that wonderful moderator account and give me free reign over this entire board, and I will show you how to build a community. I will show you the power of transparency and taking criticism. It will truly blow your mind.

A more realistic to your question:
Because of the fact that people who actually participate in this culture have given up. The moderators *should* exist to help maintain quality, but you see, that is hard on a topicless board, even moreso on a topicless board where the users have set the topic. Most of the constant raiding and shitposting could be gotten rid of by simply setting a topic, which is what I have suggested (but will never happen)

>>38495105
Then create that wonderful board and show everyone. Will you create it on reddit or 8gag?

>>38495145
Me and you both know exactly what will happen the moment that I post it. I will be banned for "self advertising" because who am I to take 4chan's userbase? It would be pointless to create it if I cannot actually reach the target audience. And a SelfServ advertisement for a competing board would likely be denied. Not to mention that 90% of the users here have an adblocker. You hoard every bit of traffic that you can and hold onto it with an iron fist via GR11. There is no way to create a competing imageboard because you hold all the traffic despite having some of the worse practices online.

In spite of all that, I am working on something. And it will be good.

>>38495186
Why don't you put that effort into losing your virginity instead?

>>38495270
Yes, /r9k/ isn't for all that virgin whining. No, the culture of the board totally isn't virgin whining. Despite years of virgin whining. When will you understand that you will never have the authority to make the virgin whining go away? It's never going to happen, so you may as well embrace it. It has been tried for years and years, and you will continue to fail. There will always be a constant fight between the virgins and the normalfags on this board, but that could be ended. It could be ended right now, and everyone would walk away happy. But we both know it won't. And you'll keep clinging to the idea that /r9k/ could eventually become a board that produces tons of OC. The reality of the situation is that /r9k/ will ALWAYS be a board filled with whiny virgins that produces only one kind of content: Pepe images. It's the only thing that will ever come out of this board, and nothing you do, or any person you ban, will change that fact. It's never going to happen. So I suppose /r9k/ will continue to be a shitty board that raids itself, simply because of the fact that no topic is or ever will be set. This is the hell that we are cursed to endure. I often ask myself; "Why must it be this way", and then I remember: because that's the "vision" of the hotpocket overlord

Yes, I need to take my meds and stop talking now, because I'm actually passionate about something.

Goddamn, I hate you. I hate you so much. Because of how stupid and out of touch you are.

When will the hourly cuck / anti cuck, choker, poorly crafted bait by virgins, etc. threads end?

This board is /b/ 2.0

The people who come here do so from reddit/9gag and only browse this board and start posting before lurking.

High amounts of underage and mobile users.

>>38495418
When the moderators set a topic and start deleting offtopic threads

>>38494074
It's not as if this board had anything against meta threads. I don't see why you bother with that picture here and not on /v/ or /a/ or whatever board it actually gets banned at.

>>38494074
This is one of the few places in life you can say just about whatever you want and someone still finds a way to cry.

>>38494208
Yet it's not at all, it's just the same 5 threads posted over and over and over and over.

Just turn r9k into a blue board and 900% of the problems are fixed.

>>38495511
No, it doesn't fix the problems at all. Here's why:
- People can still make shitty spam-tier threads
- People can still make trollbait and people will respond
- People will get yelled at because of "fembot X" and screeching will happen

>>38494074
Mods have tried to enforce the 'all cam whoring/ attention seeking threads must go on /soc/' rule but so far I haven't seen much of that enforced. People have just worded their cam whoring threads differently so they don't get banned.

>>38495511
So far this is my favourite suggestion.
Minimal amount of change for maximum effect.

Proper moderation to reduce shitposting, turn it sfw, encourage good values, general decency and what not.
Simple as that and it'd be quite a start. It's either genuine contribution of content, elaboration and dialog or meddling in a shallow cesspool of degeneracy, circlejerking around misery.
Nothing wrong with melancholy or sorrow, life and the world as it is can be pretty fucked up, but instead all I'm seeing here is gay propaganda and furthering mental illness, disease of menality even that spreads like wildfire.

>>38494776
Sure, shame on girls that do so, but furthermore shame on cunt hungry idiots that cannot stop rubbing their dicks against the monitor.
Shame on idiocy.
