Why is asking for people to voluntarily contribute to something they enjoy considered "jewish"?
Regardless of the board and what it deals with (anime, tv/movies, video games, etc.) this is met with the same attitude of "they're e-begging jews now, let's stop supporting them" simply because donations are being accepted. In some cases the product wouldn't even exist without said donations.
Is there something inherently wrong with this practice or are the naysayers just your average shitters who take issue with everything?

They're just your average shitters who take issue with everything.
>promotes attention whoring
>makes online content creators accountable(makes their content a paid product)
>e-begging is and will forever be frowned upon.
it's okay when someone i like does it but if someone I don't like does it they're an attention whore kike

4chan is full of poor communists who hate success stories so they convince themselves that everyone richer than them is some immoral douchebag to rationalize they're poverty.
Reminder to block ads when visiting 4chan to keep yourself safe from malvertising.
If you're using iOS, upgrade to iOS 9.
Reminder that you don't need browser extensions to block ads, contrary to what uBlock Origin shills will tell you. Just use HOSTS blacklisting. It doesn't use any additional resources, and ads get blocked on an OS level.

You don't need to download anything if they use an exploit in your browser (which are being found all the time).
---=== DAILY REMINDER ===--- Daily reminder that /qa/ IS NOT /q/. Please take all your crying and suggestions to your homeboards and www.4chan.org/feedback to allow us to have a meta board about 4chan.
Do I still need to remind you? This goes extremely towards you, hiro.

Daily reminder that /qa/ was a throwaway board that just happened to stick around and it can be whatever people want it to be.
THANK YOU BASED REMINDER MAN

Daily reminder for you to cry harder.
What is the best creative work made by 4channers?
/b/ day
If you think about it, it's still effecting the site to this day. Things would be a lot different without it.
Historical revisionism by newfag weebs. Reading some of the shit they say is truly better than anything else I can think of.

Hey /qa/,
I have been blasting wet shit out of my ass for about 3 days now. Any ideas that can get me solid again? The liquid kind sprays on everything

Nah I'm not falling for the "Doctor" or "hospital" scam. There's nothing that can't be fixed the old fashioned way, I don't need some overpayed fuckstick prescribing 30 different pills that cost $5000 each to make my shit solid

First off, I know what this thread will be filled with:
>WAAAAAH GO BACK TO POWL YOU FUCKING NAZI WE HAVE FREEZE PEECH
First off, I don't care for /pol/ at all. They are so fucking dumb that most of them believe you can actually transmit AIDS by coughing. Its just as much of a petty circlejerk as Tumblr or NeoFAG is.
Second off, freedom of speech doesn't exist on this board. If a moderator wants to do something because he feels it will effect the board in a better way, he is allowed to do it. Its been like this for years,...

This is satire, right?
This has not only happened to censorship threads. Plenty of threads, such as speedrunning ones, are easily exploited because of transexual members of the community, leading up to an initial argument about gender politics. They constantly spam threads and ruin topics, overall making /v/ an undesirable place for people to post video games and avoid pointless politics. While this could be argued that this is trolling, this doesn't make it any less acceptable, as the quote says "a community of pretend retards will bring actual retards". The mannerisms often seen by SJWs often rival /pol/ and other notorious shitposters with their usage of buzzwords, OC, and "reddit" spam to try and ward people away to make a safe environment. The worst part, they even go against what people know of 4chan, the place of no feelings and no remorse, and change it from what people seek and make it into a hugbox, and land where peoples feelings are on high priority and that calling someone a faggot or a nigger is worth being shunned and told to go back to Reddit.
This is not just a problem for /v/, but a problem for the entire website. What do you think most of the people on /b/ come for? They come to express themselves in an unrestricted environment, socializing and making jokes without having someone watch over them encase their feeling get hurt. In other words, a place free from political correctness. This, as I said earlier, goes back to the days when the website was considered at its peak in terms of recognition and popularity. And while most people would argue that they come for discussion, it still links back to that hint of no political correction. Now, we know that SJWs will stop at nothing to make their opinions fact, and they will not back down until they have it their way. Think about what this can do to the website, if people started to flood and shitpost things they found problematic.
Next.
People would be turned off knowing what they came for is now being taken away from them, and that the once free board is now under control by a force of people who will stop at nothing to shun and spam until what they want gone is gone. You can say this doesn't apply to you, and it doesn't to me, but you can't argue a HUGE majority of the site thinks this way, and that this logic is what brings in people. If you take away the thing people come here in hopes for, and ruin it for the people who have already settled here, then you are damaging a proportionate chunk...

I have been blocked from making any kind of post on any other boards except this one for 5 months. I did not break any of the rules and one day I was suddenly blocked from making threads 5 months ago. So I sent some feedback explaining the mods mistake and then the next day I was blocked from making any kind of post on all boards except /qa/.
I want this block removed NOW.
I have been patiently waiting and submitting feedback every day but I'm putting my foot down now.
FIX THIS.

If you guys aren't aware these are joke account created solely for making these mock-up conversations. I knew some guys in Uni who used to do the same thing for reddit karmafarming (safe to say they weren't my friends). Basically you make older people say wacky uninformed things and then post it to a myriad of "funny" subreddits to get thousands in karma in mere weeks, after which you sell the accounts to marketing firms.
>remove the green arrow
>nobody knows how to use it
>>417044
Overcoming functional fixedness doesn't mean you don't know how to use something, Anon. Actually, it means you know how to use it better than other people.

>oh yeah?
>can you please clarify
>thanks
>>417055
Well, alright.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_fixedness
Functional fixedness is when you see an object as only having one purpose. For example, seeing the green arrow as something you can only use to quote something and not use it in other clever ways is functional fixedness.
>Here I am using the arrow to not quote anybody in particular. I'm just making my text green. What I mean when I use this in this way is open to interpretation and is up to the reader to...

Who /r/ShitRedditSays/ here?
Is srs real or trolls? It seems like a great scheme for trolls 2bh.

Everyone who disagrees with is condemned to this fate, are you one of them?
In this thread rank Hiro-era boards

Flip that, and you'll be right,
>>414101
From best to worst:
/wsr/ - The comfiest place ever. I like to go there to chill out and help somebody without getting yelled at for spoonfeeding or whiteknighting or whatever else people call helpful people these days. I like that there's a place to be kind. I like being nice to people.
/trash/ - I don't actually go here very often because I'm not a furry, but I think every niche interest should have its place. Additionally, I like the fact that the "no Avatarfagging" rule is not...

/news/ is nice. So is /his/.
Why are the mods scared to talk to the users?
>>411641
They aren't afraid to talk to the users. They understand that talking to the users doesn't achieve what they want it to.
Most of the users on 4chan are about as intelligent and understanding as your average cinder block. Most of what the mods would say about moderation would only cause further confusion and anger throughout much of the userbase.
>>411667
That's no excuse for them to ignore us. People are mad at them and for good reasons to. We want them to do a better job and actually do something to fix this place. They could air their grievances they have with us here and just let it out
When are we going to have a /b/2? I mean, there are already about 4 "/b/"s, but none of them really serves /b/'s purpose. [s4s] is the forced memes shitposting land, /r9k/ is the frogposter hugbox containment board, /trash/ is a fetish dump board and the actual /b/ has been totally unusable for about 4/5 years. I'm pretty sure not the only one who wants a real random board.
Random pic. (Get it?)
maybe move to less known imageboards if you want an actual "b"
4chan boards will always be lame, since this site is so popular nowadays
>>416795
>I'm pretty sure not the only one who wants a real random board.
Actually you are the only one.
I'm with the OP, though his would never happen. /b/0 through /b/9.
The intraboard animosity would fuel memery.
Is there any actual reason to not allow WebM's with sound outside of /gif/ and /wsg/?
/wsg/ is probably the single most creative board on this site simply because it has audio WebM's
>>416480
Bandwidth. Audio add's it. Stump up some coin for hosting or deal with it.
>>416495
>Bandwidth
Aha, that's why VP9/Opus are forbidden.
Also, are you aware that 4mb video weights exactly the same as 4mb video with audio?
>>416495
That doesn't make any sense anon
