I don't watch anime can I be a janitor?
>>139627265
You'll fit right in.
Are they going to do it for FREE?
>>139625965
Ban yuri and yaoi threads unless they are talking about a specific anime and canon relationships.
>>139627496
kill yourself.
Can I be a janitor with broken English? I don't think it's possible.
But seriously, can a janitor see the IP of the posts? I really wish I could do something about those anons that keep shitposting nonstop, but never shitpost hard enough to be banned in a single post.
If the janitor can't confirm that those are all by a samefag, then it's useless.
>>139627603
Nope. It is gonna be GLORIOUS. No more /u/ or /y/ generals, they have ti be relevant and about a specific series. I am gonna make /a/ great again.

will you encourage posts with the purest form of love?
>>139627801
O sorry. Yuri and yaoi janitor here. Will also be getting rid if ntr if i see it. And /pol/ if its not strongly related to the series. And 3d references.
I'm gonna make /a/a better by not applying for Janitor.
BOOM

Send the threads about things that have their own board back.
Waifu/"who is this semen demon"/"post best girl" threads back to /c/
Ecchi threads back to /e/
Sadpanda and the like back to /h/
Those boards are dead, and /a/ is full. We need to send them back
Is there any reason to be a janitor? Do you get perks like no captcha posts?
>>139628170
Huh. We have somewhat similar views, but are you really gonna get rid of all fun posting? I was thinking mostly topics that have their own boards and obvious bait.

>>139628264
You're right.
About funposting and that i think that threads should be given a chance, and if they turn out okay then they can be allowed sometimes, even if they are for example blogging or gookshit threads that always get shit on.
Basically if the thread itself is designed as bait and/or belongs in other board into the trash it goes. If it's at least decent then it deserves a chance to see how it turns out.
Basically the idea is to have some kind of grey zone and don't go full black or white nazi with things that may or may not be 100% according to the rules.
>>139628418
Since when is deleting threads an adminstrative function? Hell, the OP used to be able to, until IRC decided to troll to make it look like certain fanbases were being oppressed, and it was removed.
Can something be done about TG:re threads? The only solution I can come up with is to nuke those threads
>>139628507

honestly though we should ban all triggershit. They're notorious for sending stealth marketing shills to /a/, so any trigger thread should be considered spam, be deleted and all the posters banned.
The big generals need to go the jojo one with a goddamn pastebin in the OP and the SNK threads will be limited to only the day they air and the day after. Also images with tumblr in the title will not be allowed to be posted. Those who spoonfeed shall be warned and those who ask for sauce in a obvious way shall be warned. The word "animes" shall be filtered into anime.
>>139628911
How the hell are they going to post if they're banned? they would need to delete their session data each time they want to post, and you and everyone knows those fucking guys won't do it.
>>139629178

I'd want to do more like re-ban Naruto and set conditions for what qualifies for a general (such as must have something new/relevant to talk about in the past X weeks, must stay on topic etc), but that's up to mods.
We should vote to re-ban naruto. I mean, some boards still have shit banned whether the users asked for it or not just to try to preserve their quality; what fucking gives that /a/ doesn't have such a guideline yet you can't have stupid e-celeb threads on /v/, frozen got removed from /co/, MLP is still site-wide ban etc. So, how hard is it to undo something moot overturned purely to antagonize and fuck with us, worse yet at the behest of fucking /q/? What's he gonna do, complain anonymously from his google office?

What can janitors even do besides delete posts that people with an add-on can still view?

>>139630544
Naruto ban was a basic guard rail for the board.
Most of the shit I mentioned wouldn't affect anime discussion at all, only clean up faggots. I don't consider seasonal show threads "generals" either; if that was the case then /a/ has literally always had dozens of them.
Some things like Kancolle I would recommend go to /vg/ since it would absolutely rub /jp/ the wrong way to put it all there (besides they actually have it already along with monomusu). If it's Kancolle animu discussion it can stay, but game discussion isn't /a/. TM VN stuff is also /jp/ or /vg/ but usually that isn't a problem here.
>>139630740
Damn are you saying that I won't be able to become a janitor and encourage cuckposting and NTR enlightening/a/ into a new age?
Dammit. Dammit it all.
>>139630590
I mean more like greentext stories. It's very, very common those are blogshit and it's also very /v/ behavior.
>>139630891
also >monomusu
monmusu
>>139630957
Are you saying that every other board got greentext stories from /v/? Never realized that before.
Ban generals and meta threads like this one
>>139631092
No, just /v/ loves them more than anyone. I think (not going to double check) /r9k/ likes them a lot too and what do you know, it's always used for blogshit too. It's blogshit mode.
>>139630891
VNs have been on a perenially, especially popular ones with anime adaptations. There's no reason to persecute them unless they turn into cancerous generalfaggotry and chain threads nonstop. TM threads will always be a thing, but they don't have nearly enough presence on the board to be an issue, and the times where they do have any presence, it's because of an /a/-related announcement. There's a general on /vg/ to contain the mobage stuff but overall TM has a place here.
Kancolle has a general on /jp/ and are also welcomed in a general on /vg/ that covers naval-related games (friendly reminder that kancolles primary media is a game). There's absolutely no reason for kancolle to continue to maintain a 24/7 general on /a/, especially when they do not discuss the anime and no longer post/translate/discuss related manga. The /a/ threads have just become a den for /u/ shitposting, pixiv imagedumping and general character worship.
>>139631148
Meta thread are the best thing about modern /a/.
>>139630119
Nah. /a/'s shittiness is what makes it so fun. Besides none of /a/s shit compares to the cancerous hell that was frozen threads on /co/. None.
>>139628507
Please don't touch them, they're the only thing I look forward to in life

>>139631437
Good, I hope you die.
>>139631380
Blogging shit is fun to you?
So we're all in agreement that generals need to go?
>>139631580
No.
>>139631580
Yes.
You guys do realize that all you'll get to do is follow the mods' directions, and maybe five years later if you don't get axed have a say in things, right?
>>139631580
General mentality needs to go, on going anime/manga are fine as long as new episode/chapter comes out so basically everything turns into >>139631654
>>139631580
Generals, /soc/, nostalgia shit, /r/, reddit/tumbrl.
And leave the few established generals since messing with them could only mean drilling a hole in a pool full of shit.
I propose that if a thread goes so far as to have "general" in the name, everybody reports and shitposts in it.

Something should have been done long ago to put them in their place, I remember so many threads with actual discussion getting derailed and trashed because of the same people who got away with it over and over again. Madoka threads are the perfect example of what happens when generals get out of hand.
>>139632108
Has been for a while it even have a fucking pastebin. You can't get more general than that.
Its sad too because I really enjoy Jojo but these general are just full of /v/ crossboarder who only come on /a/ for the jojo general.

Well of course some of them stay and most likely shit up or make threads about how ''moeshit'' is ruining anime.
>>139632104
I'm talking about those epic screencap threads, but your right those stupid pre2k shit threads need to go too, for mecha you have very good threads on /m/ and if you want to discus a particular show just make a fucking thread about it.

But seriously moot fucked us when he left, he didn't fix any of the mess he made and left it as it is.
>>139632245
Not that guy but trying to make a thread about a specific anime that aired 30 years ago you might get 11 replies before the thread dies. Those threads are actually good and there is some semblance of discussion in them.
>>139632108
How do you even fix that shit.
It has an ongoing manga with regular releases and an ongoing seasonal anime.
As a franchise, it has every right to be here but the quality of the threads and the posters in them are just abysmal.
Do you just go through and ban all the posters that don't meet a certain quality standard? 90% of them are posting from mobile anyways and will just immediately evade it and go right back. You'd need a mod or something browsing that thread 24/7, reading every post and constantly banning and rebanning the terrible posters and generalfaggots until their hugbox is disrupted enough for them to give up (which will still only be temporary. They always come back, madoka threads are proof of this). I don't think you could pay someone to actually waste their time with that shit.
>>139632323
I'll fix it for you

>>139631580
Yes, they are NEVER on topic and their existence means that people cannon actually discuss what they were made to discuss.
What do we do with Tomochan, in theory? Since they do get a page a day, I'm not sure if it really counts as a general.
>>139632104
They really aren't, they attract otaking types like flies.
>>139632333
Fucking this, while I may not always get the opportunity to talk about what I'm currently watching pre2k threads at least let me talk about older series that aren't flavour of the month bullshit
>>139632448
You leave them alone because they're only responding to new material. Their threads aren't very good, but at some point you have to let people have bad threads.

Not to rain on your parade, but you people are aware that even if you're chosen as jannies all you'll be able to do is delete posts/images, send warn/ban requests to mods and see the report queue and the janny board, right? You won't be banning any posters or deleting any threads any time soon.
Maybe if you stick around as janitors for years and do your job successfully you might be promoted to a mod one day and then you'll be able to influence but still not personally decide board policies.
>>139632448
I don't have an issue with pseudo generals of currently ongoing things. Its the retards who need a thread up 24/7 despite nothing to discuss that is the issue.
Look at something like the Mon Musume threads although you can pick any general on /a/ right now and they are all the same.
>Minimal discussion of the actual series
>Character image dumps and off topic posting makes up the VAST majority of the posts
>When a chapter comes out they get barely any replies since everyone is busy doing their FIRST FOR DANK MEME posting.
>OC fanfiction rampant
As I said its the same shit in every general, Overlord, SNK, Osomatsu, LL, Arc-V, take your pick they are all the same.

>>139632448
it get a daily page but they could wait at least a week for make a thread
I'm sure everyone realizes this but it's really tedious work once the excitement wears off. It's nice to have a level of authority over a community you love/frequent, but trust me when I say it eventually makes browsing seem like a chore.
Only those with superhuman dedication (some might call it autism) and a genuine desire to help the board should apply. Also keep in mind that you might not get along with everyone else -- /a/'s values don't always apply sitewide.
Anyway I don't wanna be doxed so I'm out. *teleports into the shadows*

They already have parallel threads on other boards. Those boards just need to stop making a redundant general on /a/ where they dump yuri.
