Since normies with buy advice/recommendation requests woun't leave, what does /g/ think about a daily /consumer advice general/?
pro:
- collecting the cancer into one thread instead of multiple spreading threads
con:
- creating such a thread would be against the sticky
- this would officially say "advice threads allowed"
also ITT:
- why do we need to help ourselves
- do mods even read our sticky?
- what went wrong and where is the chemo
I actually think this is an excellent idea.
EXCEPT
we have stupid questions threads already to mitigate those but people just become lazy and come here from other boards.
We should have a consumer purchase advice board.
And fuck the sticky, if we want to create that thread then let's do it. We've helped ourselves to create threads as containers via /ptg/ /wdg/ and /dpg/ etc
Mods need to get more banhammer happy on /g/

The less shilling, the better. MODS do it for free, so why would they care? I wouldn't.

Someone tried it a while back but it won't really work unless the entire board is behind it, and a sizeable plurality of the board is now composed of normalfag consumertards that line up to spoonfeed every faggot from /b/ and /v/ that blows off the sticky.
The problem with /g/ isn't so much the lack of containment for its cancer, it's the fact that nobody forces the cancer into its containment.

What if we made a bait thread, and then mods permabanned from /g/ everyone who posted in said thread? Both the retards thinking this is /consumer advice/ and the imbeciles answering them.

Exactly this. Why would anyone put their question into /sqt/ or now /wsr/ when they can make their own thread, get a quick answer, and then fuck off back to /v/ or reddit? The honest to God problem is that we simply aren't obnoxious enough to keep our board pleasant.
/sqt/ (or qdttdtdtdtdtddttdot for retards) exists and yet there are many retarded threads just to ask a question whose answer fits in one word. A consumer advice thread would do jack shit.

it's too late, /g/ is over, say hello to neo /g/

mods will prune blatant shitposting threads if you report spam but they're very inconsistent
they have no problem deleting meme threads like Pentium 4 and Nonfree Javascript Botnet shit yet "muh girls in tech" and applel shit run free with impunity
OP ignored the sticky?
Banana thread!
The reason they sticky was created is because there was a million newfriends flooding the place.

Those retards with their "gnoo/liunix sucks" or "wintards/applefags on suicide watch" threads are the worst. They attract the type of people that would be regulars on /b or /v to our board and prevent any other more worthwhile discussion. I don't give a shit what OS you use, don't bother me about mine. Maybe we should have a thread where these fucktards that post in it are banned from /g/ permanently. That would go a long way in cleaning up /g/

>We should have a consumer purchase advice board.
can you imagine the insane levels of shilling that would attract?
>>52152737
Well look around, because that's /g/ already.
