Meta Board Discussion Thread

>>76211202
you are a gay faggot and this thread is gay

/sp/ is bouncing back lad

more and strict moderation desu

>>76211254
this

mods need to delete threads like these

/spg/ would be great. It would actually mean more post made in generals and in other threads. Threads on /sp/ wouldn't be drowned out by generals and people would be more different types of generals would be made on /spg/.

1 year bans for JUSTposting

I tell you the 3 steps that will make /sp/ great again:

1) Relaxed, Sports Bar Moderation
The sports bar vision of our forefathers needs to be rekindled. The mods' lazy and frankly vindictive view of ''We can't take the time to figure out your culture so we're going to nuke it'' is a travesty. In 2011, /sp/ was the meme capital of 4chan due to a unique blend of sports and off-topic that influenced the entire site for years. Today, nothing original comes from /sp/. Moderation should serve to protect us from CP, porn dumps, race-baiting, spam, and egregious shitposting. It should not helicopter over power rankings, chase bowls, and other fun threads. If Janitors are meant to represent the community, it should be easy for them to determine which threads are good and which are shit.

2) Gamethread Post Timers Reduced to 30 Second Cooldowns:
When creating a thread, /sp/ should have a special UI option for ''gamethread'', that reduces the post cooldown to 30 seconds. Threads that are pretending to be gamethreads to circumvent the 60 second timer will be banned (Threads that are checked as being gamethreads can have special subject rules such as needing two team name fields to be filled to help cull this). This way generalfags (I don't like generals but I don't think it's fair to outlaw them) can have their threads without them devolving into chatrooms (which was the original intention for the 60 second increase).

3) Audio Enabled for Webms:
99% of sports video has a broadcaster's call associated with it. Why is audio disabled? Webm creators would appreciate audio allowance, and webm threads would be more popular. Remember, content creation is a key to /sp/.

These 3 simple steps would breathe life back into the board, and those who have been exiled can return to create content and make 4chan fun again.

TL;DR:
• Relaxed Moderation at Night (Sports Bar Mindset)
• Gamethread post timers reduced to 30 seconds
• Webms need audio

I mean people would make more different types of generals on /spg/. Fuck, I need to proofred more.

>>76211434
>Audio Enabled for Webms:
There should be an option in settings.

>I don't like generals but I don't think it's fair to outlaw them
Don't outlaw them, move them to /spg/.

>Today, nothing original comes from /sp/. Moderation should serve to protect us from CP, porn dumps, race-baiting, spam, and egregious shitposting
Things which are illegal, NSFW, overly disruptive (spam) or outside culture basically. We should keep /pol/ out so we grow strong as a board. We must protect our culture and make sure we are an exporter of memes, not an importer.

>>76211602
We need to export perro caca, SKEEUUP and BBB to other boards

>Deleting footy lad threads.
Sad!

>>76211202
i think we should make a fund and donate for mod's salaries

>>76211663
Yes, just like the US export McDonald's and their shitty culture the world over. It shows they are a superpower. We must regain our position as one of the powers of this chan.

5 minutes cool down for any thread please.

>>76211693
How contrived.

What is the argument against having audio for webms?

I seriously want to hear it, because I've yet to hear it ever since webms were added to 4chan.

Remove foreigners, bring us back the the Golden age of being a mostly American Board

>>76211964

>>76211992
I was one of the first posters here, I made the first >18-1 thread and I posted in the first >yfwdbwdso

>>76211964
Audio spam and bandwidth/file size

>>76211964
screamers

its literally just that

>>76212027
Other boards have sound webms. You just set the volume to off and manually adjusted.

>>76212032
Then you remember how this board was mostly Americans discussing American sports

>>76212084
only the gif/webm related boards have sound

>>76211434
4chan is an international website nigga. It's night in some places when it's day for you.

>>76212048
I've never seen a screamer on any webm board.

That fear is so overblown.

>>76211964
Loud porn on my wsf board

>>76212521
well yeah, those boards are basically just porn material, no one bothers doing it

but i can see it happening in popular boards like /v/ or /pol/ all the time if they allow it

i still think its worth it tb h

Make soccer, cricket, and other gay sports go to /ppsp/ (poor people sports)

>>76211434
If you want to post in less than 60 second just buy the pass nigga.

You want better features? Pay for them

1. Ban generals.

2. Allow off topic. We need our event bowls, power rankings and ass threads.

3. Still ban any nsfw posting.

>>76213102
>1. Ban generals.
That's banning on-topic discussion. I don't see how you can justify that alone but then you have to consider that some people in those generals prioritize those generals for their posting over everything else on 4chan; like that's why they come to 4chan and you're taking that away suddenly.

>2. Allow off topic. We need our event bowls, power rankings and ass threads.
People do like to discuss off-topic things on their favorite boards as opposed to /b/ or the proper topic board but that's too slippery a slope. That's pretty much asking everyone to go wild with mods holding back until anything disastrous happens. Every mod will have to approach moderation that with their own perceptions without criteria or rhetoric because it's so subjective. You can't come to /sp/, or any board, and treat it like /b/ without it becoming a wasteland of drivel, or worse: blogposting.

If you're aching to make a hilarious off-topic thread that will get 150 replies before deletion you may as well take the short ban if it's that worth it to you, which is what people do.

/sp/ used to be amazing but the moderator got a power trip.

One example was posting of "lebroning" videos. Youtube them, they are actually quite humorous. But the moderator decides to ban them because he deemed them racist.

Anyways: How about get rid of the admin and janny team as a start? The board goes to shit don't so some limp wristed poll or public survey. Ax the faggets that ruined it from the funnest board to the most boring.

>>76211202
I don't understand why we don't already have audio webms.

30 sec cooldown for game threads would be good but it would require the mods to make one contained game thread for each game, which is way too much work for them

I think moderation is pretty relaxed as is

>>76211219
>/sp/ is bouncing back lad
I think you're right

>>76213355
/sp/ is a shithole

>>76212578
pol and v dont need audio. sp and tv do

>>76212839
I'd buy a pass if I wasn't constantly telling myself I'm going to quit this place

>>76213592
Get rid of the board index. People here are too lazy to click 'page 2', that's why only generals have activity, because nobody uses the catalog

>>76213666
>nobody users the catalog

I find this hard to believe, surely people aren't this retarded?

Heem should have a permanent sticky.

>>76213102
>1. Ban generals.
Banning isn't good. Move them to /wsg/.

>>76213394

Simple then. Keep out /pol/ shit and /b/ shit. But allow any authentic /sp/ posting whatever its nature. Protect our /sp/ memes!

>>76213666
How do people not use the catalog? The catalog is the only way this site is usable

>>76213744
Check the threads, when they reach page 3 for some reason they rarely have another post. But if someone bumps them after a couple of hours they suddenly have activity again

>>76213666
That's not 4chan bub, I don't use the catalog on principle

>>76213829
because people are lazy and dont feel like searching for threads, thats why a bunch of idiots ITT complain about generals

>>76213394
/sp/ was great back in 2010-2011. I think it was a combination of the bro/lad cultrue we had and the late night /sp/ stuff. There aren't sports going on all the time so obviously we can't talk sports 24/7. Not sure what the solution would be but clearly the moderation sucks. General threads also suck, they turn into echo chambers and have ruined the board imo

Eliminate tripcodes.

>>76211202
How do we improve /sp/?
Turn everyone from /sp/--mods, jannies, anonymous, name friends and trip friends past, future and present--into poorly transitioned trannies and then let me keep them in a special harem where it's my personal job to infect them with HIV via unprotected anal sex during a nasty viral load. Only I'm allowed to infect but once the recipient has been successfully pozzied and someone else has the illness those two can fuck. Then when everyone is infected I can quietly retire to a remote tropical island. I don't have HIV, but I could use some dirty syringes for heroin which I also don't use.

>>76213895
Is this why people whine about generals? because they cant into catalog?
Srs?

>>76213744
Look, I'm gonna prove it right now. There hasn't been a single reply in more than 2 hours and now because of this bump the thread is gonna be active again

>>76211254

>>76216501
No. It's because generals have highly stifled overall creativity. General threads are regularly repetitive. They have created closed off groups of people who treat specific generals as their own personal chatroom and home. There are people who literally spend all day in the same generals bumping them to stay alive or fighting over who gets to start the next thread. These are not healthy things to be doing for the board. Some of them have elitist groups or repetitive spammers who make people who don't live in these threads everyday unwelcome. Funny thing is that these people who use the threads as their personal chatroom are regularly posting off topic anyway. So disguising an off topic thread by starting it as a sports general is perfectly fine apparently.

>>76216624
>So disguising an off topic thread by starting it as a sports general is perfectly fine apparently.
Well yes, I thought everyone knew that by now.

Also, I don't think generals necesarilly make the entire board bad, they are shit but are contained in their bubbles that you can easily ignore. I don't know why you would want those cancerous faggots to post in another threads

Ass threads should come back

We need Carchaseb owl threads

>>76212044
Yeah but the argument for includes audio webms of SKEEEEEEEEEEYUUUUP

>>76216624
Well I agree with the /spg/ idea for what its worth

>>76216624
You have just described virtually every general on /sp/, however you negated to include that the dominant country in that general tries to gang up and force the other nations out, so in essence, they try to create an /int/ type of thread.
As long as shit like that occurs, generals are always going to be repetitive.

>>76216624
Generals will always be repetitive.
Harmless shit like /trb/ and /arse/ should be allowed to stay. Even though /arse/s only reason to exist is to laugh at them after they fail yet another season.

/spg/ would just mean most of the traffic goes there and /sp/ becomes even slower.

Is there a fucking file size limit on image posts now?

Fuck's sake. He's just bleeding this place dry.

>>76211202
no jannies and less moderating

>>76218183
There's always been. It used to be smaller as a matter of fact.

>>76218204
Really? I've been posting and spamming pics here for years and never encountered it until this morning. S-Sorry Hiro.

You're not even allowed to make a thread criticising American sports here without getting a ban.

ban the words "cuck" and "cucked"

>>76218357
This please

Face it, /sp/ has been dead for years (apart from a few threads). These threads never achieve anything.

>>76218262
Janitors can't ban you, iirc. Mods are the fags.
>>76217131
Unfortunately will never happen but good list.

>>76218379
Jannies have more power than you think.
They can send in ban requests which 9/10 get blindly accepted by moderatators because they're too lazy to check the report.

nudity should be posted under spoiler instead of deleted

/sp/ doesn't need spoilers nor does it need to be a porn dump thread

>>76218787
there will be always people posting porn during intervals.
Put them under a spoiler to keep the thread sfw

Ban Canadians right now and I guarantee the board will improve overnight
