haven't you seen that porn video that featured live action Baneposting?

Everyone's ideology constantly change to fit their new world-view.
4chan was held as a bastion for free speech because people loved it being anonymous, and wanted to keep fapping to ayanami pics.
Then when a sufficiently large group of people here hated something, they'd raid it, because they only cared to shut up those they didn't like.
early on moot defended 4chan's opportunity for people to express themselves freely, because he needed that to sleep well at night with all the shit that went through here.
moot banned illegal stuff (CP, drug selling) because it would give the site and him trouble (he did the right thing here)
Child-lovers bitched about it being "against the site's premise", while others said good ridance
Then when there's a greater opposing power (eg. SOPA at the time) users would claim that they violated free speech, when in restrospect we just wanted to pirate anime and vidya and were just complaining because we didn't want to pay those obscene amounts of money for consuming media (fuck media coorporations, but let's not fool ourselves saying it was for free speech)
Then lots of activism happened, and people who didn't like it (moot included) felt that 4chan stopped being fun. and started saying 4chan was NOT for free speech (directly contradicting his stance on why 4chan was so great that he said before)
Now some people want to make 4chan a haven for anonimity online, while some who can't stand the constant and blatant shitposting just want it to stop.
4chan was never meant for anything other than posting Ayanami hentai.
People always make of it what they want it to be, depending on what they want (activism, redpilling, quiet discussion, shitposting, masturbating to loli)
People just decide "4chan is for X" based on what would rid the site of people they don't like
Do just drop the charade, say "I don't like X", but stop talking as if 4chan has a purpose
>>383357
/mlp/ is polling people for episode rankings now that season 5 is over.
>>383358
>early on moot defended 4chan's opportunity for people to express themselves freely
This is something he always defended.
People conflate are conflating freedom of speech with the freedom to do what you want. 4chan has always allowed all opinions as long as they obeyed the rules (stay on topic, don't deliberately present an opinion that you know will start a flame war, abide to posting quality aka don't be a dick, etc). This has been like that since the site was funded.
Libertad and libertinaje. There's a very important difference.
>(directly contradicting his stance on why 4chan was so great that he said before)
Even during his TED talks where he exposed his beliefs on anonymity and his raptor hands to thousand of college students, he never referred to 4chan as a place of free speech.
That said, "People just decide "4chan is for X" based on what would rid the site of people they don't like" practically summarizes all 4chan beliefs

I saw one gif which an autistic faggot puts an underwear over his head, as it was bane's mask, is that it?

yeah, you are right. My point is that he'd have never imagined he'd be running people off the site like with GG.
The raptor stance was priceless, but I cannot find it
>>383533
Yeah, and this one >>>/gif/7838826
As the guy said in the thread, Brazzers is pretty internet savvy. They even were a meme at a point, god knows if they did anything to push it too.
>>383560
Was GG (or loosely speaking game-related politics discussion) banned from /b/ and /pol/ as well?

Which board is more getting filled with spam right now, /tv/ or /v/?
/tv/ is being spammed to hell because of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. 90% of the threads are spoilers or just general SW shitposting right now.
In other news, /x/ is still discussing the same 5 things that've been debunked a million times, as always.
I don't think anybody posted this as it was happening. Anon masturbated as a facerigged anime girl.

>>383777
Perfect solid usage of it, /a/non has the right idea
Those faces at the end though
>Its getting cold.
What the fuck does that means?
>>383777
Some of the responses really show how young the average age on that board is. One poster literally typed "masterbaiting."
>>383832
It's a reference to Game of Thrones. In the show, Cersei Lannister has it as a catchphrase.
Is it okay if any /v/ermin could kindly link the "Oh shit nigger" threads from /v/ here whenever they happen? It's pretty much the only reason I'd visit /v/ anymore.
Thanks.
>>383839
That's because the underage and newfag lurkers see those kinds of posts as an opportunity to go out of hiding and join a bandwagon movement with no repercussions.
>>383849
Which is why the mods should start mass banning people who spam respond to posts like that. Rule 6 and such.
>>383843
>"Oh shit nigger" threads
What?
>>383860
I don't think it's hurting anything. It doesn't happen very often, and when it does it's because the post they're replying to is genuinely funny/retarded/interesting/etc. It's always been a 4chan thing that extraordinarily weird posts get a shitload of bandwagon replies.
The cuck to kek filter has been lifted.
Fun is now over.
Sad it got removed, it was fun.
>>383860
This sort of these aren't that common anymore. Theres no harm done by them and are just fun. Banning people for things like this is actually just stupid, even more so since its been done since the dawn of the site
>>383867
Just a drawfag who likes to start his adventure threads with "Oh shit nigger". There's literally nothing else to help distinguish him from the others with how uptight he keeps his anonymity.
>>383885
Oh, i will link them if i find something
>>383879
It wasn't fun. It was pointless and only please
>>383889
If you were from /pol/, but when in /a/ someone misused cuck talking about NTR it was fun.
>>383879
As long as the nigspeak filters aren't removed, I'm okay with it. Maybe remove them in a year or two when it's naturally died out, but until then they're doing fantastic work.

>>384366
think of the same treatment marvel got with their movies (of course that's because because of josh whedon, but disney is perfectly capable of interfering)
>>384172
This. They act like contrarians above the Plebs but what they are is ironic shite posters with terrible taste. It's annoying how they drove baneposting into the ground and they never have serious discussions about anything good. They're so fedora it hurts.

>>384653
>>384662
The smutfags are five tripfaggots who ran a shitposting ERP thread in /tg/ called /wst/ that NiceDaemonette led. They shit all over every thread trying to turn them into fetish threads.
We chased them off to /d/ once the mod that protected them got fired, but they're still shitting up out board.
They're also the people that make 90% of the shitty "well in my setting..." posts which are almost always fetish bait.
We need Nazi mod back pronto. He'd get rid of the generals too.

>>384351
>Is one of the pre requisites of being a Janitor not giving a shit about Spoilers?
The rules has always been ignored, because it'd be outright stupid to enforce it. You are on a website made for discussing shit, getting spoiled is your own fault and its great that way
>>384674
Question for /a/nons, how often do you stream your north korean Stop motion movies? I wonder if watching them with /a/ is fun
>>384996
Occasionally. There's 3 or 4 obligatory annual streams and a few others organized on the spot or for special occasions. It's always a ton of fun.
There's also other non-anime streams like mogra every month and on new years eve which are also great.
>>384606

This kind of shitposting goes beyond "board X is to blame for invading us", its a combination of different variables like lack of moderation, age of the users, and how the respective media is associated with modern politics, notice how things like movies, video games, comics and cartoons are usually involved in gender/race issues, its hard to talk about those things without the thread derailing somehow
As for the /pol/ thing, /pol/ is one of the extreme sides in the SJW threads, SJW/modern politics threads are usually like pic related, where anyone who picks a side is either called /pol/ or tumblr and real discussion never happens, but that doesn't really mean /pol/ is invading or anything, it just means the board is filled with underage faggots (and by underage i mean teenagers and retards on their 20s who are too immature to talk about these subjects like functional adults) who can't keep their political views separated from their hobbies
And as i mentioned before, moderation means a lot when it comes to the "vision" of the board, people usually associate /v/ and /tv/ with "fun is allowed but with a price", you can do a lot of shit in these boards, and their chaotic nature can sometimes be entertaining, but all this freedom means shitposters will go wild without thinking twice, and if mods started going nazi people would complain because they are already used to the boards being like that
>>385352
Forgot to add pic related
>>384672
On the one hand, I hate smutfags. On the other hand no we don't need Nazi Mod back. I don't want /tg/ to go back to being nothing but rules lawyering and edition wars because any discussion outside of game mechanics is a bannable offense.
/o/ is currently the playground of legendary shitposter Alphonse, who has been holding the board hostage for about a month.
They rangebanned his phone or something that led to a bunch of people also getting banned
>>385362
I swear, one of these days Hiro is going to make 4chan a imageboard that requires usernames, if they don't invent a new way to effectively ban people shit is going down
>>385363
>disable mobile posting
Fixed 90% of ban evasion in one blow.
>>385363
Yea, there already is a system, it's called anons actually reporting things in numbers. It works quite well when its not like only 10 people doing it
Banning mobile posting would probably stop like 85% of shitposters as well
>>385364
>>disable mobile posting
>Fixed 90% of ban evasion in one blow.
>>385365
>Banning mobile posting would probably stop like 85% of shitposters as well
>>385366
It's common knowledge that most shitposters do it through mobile posting because its 10x faster than resetting a modem
>>385366
Fact: It's easy to ban evade by posting from your phone.
Fact: Posting from your phone makes it harder to write a longer post, which encourages you to be flippant and flippancy leads to shitposting.
>>385366
Getting a new ip to evade a ban from a mobile connection is extremely fast, compared to the methods for a computer.
I guess one would still be able to connect to the phone's hotspot with a wireless connection from a computer, but that would still take much more effort than what mobile ban evaders have to now.
>>385367
>>385368
>>385369
I really doubt many people post on their phones when they're at home, it's ridiculously inconvenient compared to a computer and it's not like ban evading is that much harder on a computer.
>Fact: Posting from your phone makes it harder to write a longer post, which encourages you to be flippant and flippancy leads to shitposting.
I will concede this.
And obviously a lot of shitposters are mobile posters but throwing around figures like 85 and 90 percent seems like an exaggeration.
Is it embedded into a post or an ip whether it's posted from a mobile or from a pc? If so, it should be easy to get stats on what percentage of bans are given to mobile posters compared to computer posters.
>>385371
An ISP lookup can be done on most IP addresses.
Then again even if 4chan can compute those stats they'll probably never tell us.
>>385364
I support this
phonefags have ruined /g/ among other boards
>>385373

>>385345
The non-weeb hobby boards got hit hard in recent years. They are the boards that grew the most - Many like /co/ and (arguably) /v/ are practically the world's biggest forums on their respective topic. First it was /sp/, /mu/ and /v/, now it's /tv/ and /r9k/.
This leads to younger demographics, hot opinions of the political kind, unassimilated newfags and other things encouraging a chaotic atmosphere that becomes impossible to moderate. Nobody can agree on anything and instead of talking like adult persons they end up flaming left and right. The board grows so much and so fast they completely lose their old image and shitposting ends up engulfing the board, becoming even more notorious as people begin to spread the word of the board going to shit - so the board doesn't stop growing at all. New users come, see all this shit going on and this that shitposting IS the normal behaviour, essentially dooming the board.
I feel like the whole mentality surrounding these boards can be summarized with "This place is utter shit and it's not worth the effort to follow the rules". It doesn't help that /tv/'s first mayor demographics where literally pedophiles and celebrity stalkers.
just my 2 cents
>>385363
The mods will probably look for a way to implement hellbanning (impossible in current system)
This would solve so many problem it's not even funny, but at the same time it would turn up mod abuse potential up to eleven (IE getting hellbanned for having strong opinions on a board's issues or shit like that). Unless measures are taken to regulate it - be it making all hellbans public or only letting hiro enforce them - i would not accept them
>>385501
This guy gets it, the less people better the board is, some major boards do manage to keep themselves fairly okay when it comes to quality of posting, hobby and porn boards are the best
>>385504
Well, you can always make these kinds of bans something that needs to be double checked, like it needing the aproval of multiple mods and shit, its a good way to spot the retards who don't know how to do their job
>>385501
>said board 4 times in the same sentence
fuck my life
>>385501
To be fair /mu/'s shitposting is actually fairly fun most of the time. It can occasionally ruin the board but at least it's ruined in a fun way (especially when compared to shitholes like /v/ and /tv/.)
>>385524
So is /sp/'s - it became board culture to them and they improved on it. But it's still shitposting - talking about a subjective topic like music taste is already hard enough on 4chan without and endless barrage of
>music
>good
>>385524
/mlp/ is similar, specially during hiatuses the board usually goes to shit with shitposting and generals, but its mostly because the people there are really bored so its less about "people trying to ruin the board" and more like "people fucking around because they are bored", most people don't seem to mind shitposting there
Fuck shitposters.
There's no such thing as "fun shitposting."
You don't get to bitch about other forms of shitposting and then turn around and say BUT SOME OF IT'S FUN.
>>385544
some of it literally is fun
>>385545
And all of it literally is shit.
There is no excuse for either of it.
>>385544
People bitch about shitposting, but 4chan would be really fucking bored without it, some believe shitposters are some force of nature that doesn't think and can't be stopped, when in reality they are just really bored people (most of them at least), 4chan without shitposting would be always ontopic but too boring, without what makes it so fun, but 4chan with too much shitposting would be too chaotic and it would be impossible to have a civil conversation, we need both sides in equal amounts to have good boards, which is why some boards are better than the others even though they have almost the same amount of people
>>385548
yeah i'd hate to see the person so miserable he thought he needed an excuse to have fun too
>>385544
Shitposting has been here since day 1 my friend. But I agree, fuck shitposters, the only good ones are creative shitposters, because they actually can give laughs for everyone else and not just the shitposter
>>385549
Look, either they're a problem or they're not, you can't have it both ways when shitposting literally encourages more shitposting. We don't need shitposting, and we don't need defense of it. Maybe people actually would find fun in being constructive instead of going BANE? every thirty Goddamn seconds.
>>385550
I'd hate to be so miserable and insubstantial as a person that I'd feel the need to shit things up just to have fun.
Why is it that shitposters always try to paint people who just want them gone with these pathetic attempts of calling them miserable?
>>385552
shitposting is not always about ruining the day of everyone around you by drowning them in garbage (although most of it is)
sometimes it's just acting silly and laughing at yourself and each other
>>385554
>(although most of it is)
Good enough reason than any other to ban it outright.
>>385544
desu your post could be considered shitposting in this context
This thread was made for happenings but it's just become constant meta discussion within them now with a lot of bitching. Not really sticking to the topic at all
>>385556
No, as it's relevant to the discussion at hand.
>>385552
You're missing the point lad, think about this as a yin yang thing, where we have two sides who are opposites of each other while sharing a bit of each other at the same time, one side is logical, ontopic, and great if you're looking for information and just a nice conversation about a topic you enjoy, but this side isn't very creative or fun, the other side however, is chaotic, untamed and very creative, this side wants to have fun even if that means shitting on the others, now imagine 4chan without any of these two sides, even if they don't like each other, even if they are in constant conflict, we need both to have a place that is both fun and informative, a place where freedom allow some to be jerks but also be really damn creative, creating memes and other kinds of OC
A board with no shitposting is bad, it raises a community that doesn't know how to deal with jerks in general, those people are so used to spread their hot opinions everywhere they will ALWAYS take the fucking bait, they are blind to baits and shitposting, they don't know how to have fun and stop taking this place so fucking seriously all the time
On the other hand, a board where there is no real conversation and everybody is constantly baiting each other to death is not a good place to be raised either, it raises a generation that doesn't know how to argue properly, needing to rely on cheap tactics and memes to prove their points, people who just know how to spout memes without being able to defend what they believe, i don't think i need to mention names here because we all know what boards are like this
A good board has a bit of both, it has a community that doesn't take itself too seriously, who knows how to have fun on shitposting threads, but when a serious subject comes, they all sit and have a nice talk, they don't lose their shit everytime they see frogs or smug animu girls, they don't always take the fucking bait, there are minor and major boards like this, which are great
>>385557
The discussion at hand could also be considered shitposting within this thread
>>385558
I'm not missing anything.
Ban.
All.
Fucking.
Shitposters.
Now, Goddamn it.
>>385558

If you want a place where people are always rulefaging them go to forums or some shit, there are many other websites out there, many imageboards, 4chan isn't going to change just because you don't like a thing, either adapt or fuck off
>>385564
Ah, nice, now you're deliberately over-exaggerating for the sake of using hyperbole to deflect the argument.
"HURR RULEFAG!"
If you want a place to shitpost, go home to your native Reddit. Or do you not shit where you eat?
>>385558
I pretty much agree with you, but I still think frogposters should all fucking kill themselves and be globally banned on anything but /r9k/
>>385563
Freedom of speech is a double edged sword, when people have the freedom to do what they want they will always eventually act like jerks instead of doing something productive, for every 10 shitposters there is one guy making good OC, you can't have one without the other, because most of the time good OC starts as shitposting, just look at the amount of memes that are created through spam and shit
>>385524
>to be fair
gb2r
>>385559
this desu
>>385568
"Muh free speech!"
That doesn't apply to a privately-owned website.
You can make OC and not be a total faggot. But because you've never done one, but not the other, you wouldn't know.
>>385571
>That doesn't apply to a privately-owned website.
That doesn't mean shit, you can't filter creativity, and you can't have creativity without freedom of speech, remember that mods aren't robots, they have their own individual visions of quality, something that is considered shitposting for a mod may not be considered shitposting to the other, we can't trust them with filtering shitposting without taking the risk of having people posting OC getting banned, and like i said, sometimes OC starts as shitposting
>But because you've never done one, but not the other, you wouldn't know.
How can you know that? Do you seriously believe this is a "us vs them" situation where anyone who doesn't agree with you is instantly part of the opposite side? Hell i made a lot of OC over the years, but filtering shitposting would just be dumb, shitposting is part of this website, you can't just remove it like that and expect everything to be fine the next day, i am sorry if you're some perfect little boy who never did that before, but most people here like to shitpost once in a while because its fun
>>385574
Being a faggoty disruptive shitposter is not exercising freedom of speech, it's being a faggot.
Remember that you're a faggot, and you defend faggot shitposters; you are not the one to make that decision.
Nah, I don't believe you're on an opposite side, so how can you ask me "how can I know that" when you're making such grave assumptions?
If you like shitposting so much, go back to Reddit where they value everyone trying too hard to be funny and try their hardest to create the next ebin maymay.
Can you stop please shitposting
These aren't happenings
>>385571
I'm sorry to be the person to do this, but your new is showing anon. The site has had shitposting since day one and the golden ages of peaks are generally when both sides are at a balance
If the site is pure shitposting, well, I don't need to give a example, if you remove shitposting in all forms, then we are basically fucking reddit of all things.
I'm a fucking huge rulefag, but you're a idiot if you think shitposting can be only a negative thing and not something fun and creative. There is a difference between 'lele' shit and people putting actual thought into their shitposts and doing something new and creative
Now stop shitposting yourself
>>385501
I don't get why Hiro and the mods don't do anything about it. This is probably why Hiro is whining about resources. The server probably can't handle this many people, and it's getting too expensive.

It's like you don't even have an argument. At all. Son, just leave.
>>385576
>Being a faggoty disruptive shitposter is not exercising freedom of speech, it's being a faggot.
Which is only an issue when taken too far, which is usually when mods get in the way, Someone acting like a faggot its not the end of the world, its just the usual way people behave around here
>Remember that you're a faggot, and you defend faggot shitposters
Don't worry Anon, i love you too
>you are not the one to make that decision.
But you really seem to take my worthless opinions seriously :^)
>Nah, I don't believe you're on an opposite side, so how can you ask me "how can I know that" when you're making such grave assumptions?
Don't look at me, you're the one who started going full "we need to start a crusade against shitposting", now i wonder if you're from /v/ or some equally shitty board
>If you like shitposting so much, go back to Reddit where they value everyone trying too hard to be funny and try their hardest to create the next ebin maymay.
Literally pic related, kek

Great to know, please refer to the last line of my last post
>>385585
>Someone acting like a faggot its not the end of the world
Alright, then we should allow unbridled shitposting. You said it, not me.
You know that shitposting breeds shitposting and still allow for it, so hey. Shitposters should never be banned. I mean it's not like the majority of 4chan is shitposting now, nah. It's only a little!
>>385586
>Get called out on not having an argument.
>LOL /v/ amirite!?
Great to know it wasn't even worth reading after I didn't read it before now. It won't ever be read.
>>385582
the more people the more ad profit tho'. The amounts of adds we have seem to have created a sort of balance.
That said, mods gave up moderation post quality in 2006. There's simply too many posts and too many flames now, so only the most aggravating shit gets reported and deleted.
There's also the fact htat some things lke politics are not 4chan's fault but a trend that's overtaking the entire Internet
>>385588
Did you read the rest of my post or you're just autistic? I literally never said anything about shitposting never being banned, i swear, this is starting to get silly already
>Shitposting breeds shitposting
No, butthurt faggots breed shitposting, if 4chan had less people like you we would have less shitposting because less people would bother to pay attention
>>385589
Not the same guy but /v/ crossposters are know for being unable to keep their power level hidden outside their own boards, they literally only know how to argue in one way which is their own shitty way, combine this with the fact that the majority of the board is stupid and really blind and you have a recipe for disaster
>>385590
I don't think the ads and 4chan passes bring up enough money. The number of people who visit 4chan really exploded the last few months, and it seems to be getting worse.
>>385595
Nah, I'm not gonna read it. You disagree with the notion that all shitposters should be banned, knowing full well that the "good ones" will just inspire shitty ones, and you know damn well that they'll definitely outnumber "good shitposters," but you don't care. So then, discussion's over, we both know where we stand, we're not going to agree or change one another's minds, so let's just call it how it is. You like shitposters, I do not.
>>385597
>Lol I have evidence you're a /v/ kiddie!
>You don't know how to argue but I can forge an argument out of irrelevant details regarding what board I think you're from and how I think these people type and talk, this is a good argument!
Nah.
>>385600
If you believe all shitposters should be banned, then I guess we should start with you. Since you are shitposting pretty heavily in this thread right now
>>385600
>You don't know how to argue but I can forge an argument out of irrelevant details regarding what board I think you're from and how I think these people type and talk, this is a good argument!
Nah man, its more about things like the way you argue and make your post rather than your arguments (even if they do influence on the final judgment), its hard to explain but /v/ has its own way to argue that stands out outside their board, if you browse /v/ for some time you can see that
>>385604
You only say that because I'm adamantly disagreeing with you and am simplifying the viewpoints of the discussion into bluntness that you're intentionally misconstruing as shitposting. Now fuck off back to Reddit where you can hide comments that disagree with you.
>>385605
Not even reading this LOL YOU'RE FROM [X] hypocritical tripe.
God damn if I knew I'd bring yet another buttblasted fucktard into one of these threads by daring to claim that shitposting could be fun I just wouldn't have posted.

Thanks anon, I'll take a mini babby happening over all this shitposting we get here now
OK, so I made this thing:
>>385658
Remember when these were called "comfy" happening threads? I don't want to see the "(89) unread posts" and come to find it's flaming about board-specific policies, or the semantics of shitposting.
I too get carried away with discussion in these threads, but these are HAPPENING threads. Let's try and keep it that way, because we all want to talk about the stuff that happens.
So I propose to use that other "sister" thread to vent anything that should splinter from here, but decided not to include that in the OP so it may work for anyone wanting some /meta/
Assuming most people here use 4chanX, if you have both threads in the Watcher, and someone quotes your post here form the other thread, you'll get a notification, so no need to post ITT to continue the discussion.
Let's see how this works out
>>385662
Great, now the two cunts arguing back and forth are just going to shit up that thread.
>>385662
I get what you mean but I don't think your solution will be ample
I hope it works but I don't see people going to a "/meta/" thread on a meta board. The shitposting in here generally pops up as a result of something someone else naturally said rather than being a focused thing that's done intentionally.
I do want these to go back to simply happening threads though, they've all but lost their purpose and even some "happenings" that are posted here barely qualify now.
We'll see lad

I just think its redundant, its like making a "Video games - talk about video games here" thread on /v/, if you want to bitch about rules and moderation, fine, do it, but make a thread for that or use an already existing thread if it already exists, also a bit of discussion here and there doesn't kill, i see people bitching about nobody posting happenings but even them nobody i posting happenings, the best we can do is ignore the issue and leave the thread alone and only come here to post happenings

YOU'RE NOT CHANGING ANYONE'S MORALS, NOR THEIR ETHICS.
YOU CAN CALL THEM STUPID ONCE.

This shit happens all the time, people start posting happenings, them someone says something related to the happening, them we have walls of text of people arguing about that board in particular, them the fight ends and we go back to posting happenings as usual, just because 2-3 fags are shitposting it doesn't mean we need to abandon the thread and stop focusing on its primary purpose

/r9k/ as a divided organism (manchildren and non-manchildren) is showing signs of autoimmune system, where certain shifts in average board behavior is met with board behavior of the opposite kind.
Threads about women start showing up more? Rabid shitposters break lose to derail these threads.
/r9k/ is a very interesting place for monitoring behavioral patterns of human beings without real self-awareness.
Suggestion of a more prominent moderation force to deal with rulebreakers. As the bot's database grow larger, so does the number of rulebreakers, and sadly, the presence of moderation actually seems to decay in return. Board may as well be removed with everyone who ever posted more than 20 times on it permabanned if this trend continues.
>>387976
Discussing technology. Not "halp pc not work I need it plx"
>>388001
why not just leave /r9k/ the way it is?
If /r9k/ doesn't want fembot threads, why do the mods keep forcing it? It's the same as /a/ getting mad at Naruto threads and getting them banned. If there's a consensus on what a board should be, then why go against it?
/co/ is becoming more garbage thanks to a mass /v/ exodus like half a year ago. A year ago (well maybe longer than that, I'm shit at telling time), /co/ was a different place, but now they're always bringing up Tumblr and Reddit and you're not allowed to enjoy any cartoons and there are many more tryhard /pol/ faggots. As for me blaming it on /v/, I've been noticing the same kind of shitposting (paranoia about Tumblr and Reddit, CONSTANT pointless anger of the "fuck this fuck that this is 4chan so I have to be mad to fit in fuck you" variety) on the rise, and even the filename threads (which I used to rarely, if ever, see on /co/) often have /v/-related filenames. Crossboarding isn't a problem on its own, everyone has more than one interest they like to discuss, but if you're gonna talk about comics and/or cartoons there's no need to shitpost like you're on the """video games""" board. The moderation on /co/ is even weak like on /v/ too now, but since mods are global, I suppose whoever moderated /co/ the most decided to just bail.
Instead of assimilating into /co/'s culture, all these tryhard faggots continue to not only contribute nothing of value, but also reinforce some boogeyman narrative. The whole paranoia over Steven Universe is a prime example; post a Steven Universe related image in a thread and you'll be accused of "shitting up the thread" and a flamewar will ensue. Which is a bigger threat to the few nuggets of quality you find on a big board like /co/; someone discussing a show you don't like, or someone raging and being a big pissbaby over a show you don't like and derailing a thread over it?
>>388012
I'm referring to actual rulebreaking, mostly global 3, 6, 7, 8 and 10 along with r9k rule 4. I've seen numerous literal /b/ threads pop up where 9 out of 10 posters were just spamming mindlessly.
/r9k/ is currently the gateway between /b/ and the rest of 4chan, but is definitely not /b/ in itself, hence the notion of "/b/ belongs on /b/" should definitely be enforced more actively. Because it currently isn't, it's how you get frogposters leaking onto other boards, because they end up convinced that their godawful behavior is the norm, and breaking rules is somehow "hip and happening".
The simple solution is declaring exterminatus on /r9k/.

It happened to ponies, why would it never happen again?
Anyways, things happen man. Life is always in flux and there will always be migrations. /mlp/ was amazing when I first got there, but the quality started to saturate with newfags not willing to lurk and asshole from other boards. While I was a bit upset, I shrugged and went to other boards for a bit. When I came back /mlp/ changed. Not in a drastic manner, but it sort of shifted. People who were try hards mellowed out, though still retain bitterness. Ponychan fags started to be more chill. A lot of the namefags fell off. They weren't being shit on as hard as I'd like, but I think they started to get bored of it. Only a few still have useless names filled out. People are still encouraging each other for green, so I think everything'll work out for a bit.
I suggest taking a break from the board. In time things may mellow out. Try going to /a/ or /tg/.
>>388040
>That's a matter of taste and opinion
No its not, its board etiquette. The general consensus is that unless your trip has importance to the topic at hand, you shouldn't do it and doing so is nothing more than attention whoring. It's board etiquette just as lurk moar is
And the general consensus has been overridden a long time ago by moot himself.

>moot
Who?
>>388055
Who are you quoting?
>>388060
who?
>>388047
moot literally says in that, that anon culture grew over time and that they still have an importance, and they do. But, not for general posting. His opinion in that doesn't go against the general consensus at all. The general consensus, as I said, is unless you have importance, you don't need a name or trip, otherwise thats just fucking attention whoring.
If you want to defend tripfagging, don't fall into the traditional tripfagging arguments which are literally just 'because i can and i want to because im a faggot please rape my face'. Saying there is nothing wrong with attention whoring tripfagging is saying there is nothing wrong with no lurking in any way and being a stupid nigger
>>388066
huh???
>>388067
There are plenty reasons other than attentionwhoring or vital identification for using a trip.
>being able to look back at all of your posts on an archive
>wanting to "hugbox" your posting experience since a lot of low IQ posters get angry and filter you simply because you have a trip (this is my reason for using a trip)
>trolling purposes considering a lot of people throw instant tantrums for no real reason (might be considered a form of attentionwhoring as well)
>circlejerking with other trip users whom you know from outside of 4chan (think of those anime and mlp breads on /b/ a long time ago, not sure if those are still a thing)
Anyway, moot doesn't specifically claim to be referring to those who use a trip for identification. He quite literally says, in the very starting days of 4chan, "everyone" tripped.
>Saying there is nothing wrong with attention whoring tripfagging is saying there is nothing wrong with no lurking in any way and being a stupid nigger
But there ISN'T anything wrong with attentionwhore tripping. The fault mainly lies with those who give these people attention. They live solely on the attention. If they wouldn't get anything, they wouldn't bother.
Attentionwhore trips are only a means to an end.

You shouldn't be caring about this. It goes against the point of the site
All those reasons are reasons people fucking hate tripfags you fucking retard. You shouldn't be doing any of that here, nor should you be making a hugbox either. Fuck off. Everyone tripfagged because they came from namefag forums and over time everyone stopped tripping and instead grew anon culture
No, there is everything wrong with attention-whoring tripfagging. People don't like it and don't want it here simple as that. In addition, its no different to ironic shitposting and when newfags see you doing it, they think its ok to do it themselves. Your experience on 4chan should be throwing a pebble into the ocean. Unless you have importance, you shouldn't be putting yourself on a pedestal and people over the years have gave insane amounts of reason why. Not just does tripfagging make you a retard, you encourage other people to be a retard.
>But there ISN'T anything wrong with attentionwhore tripping. The fault mainly lies with those who give these people attention. They live solely on the attention. If they wouldn't get anything, they wouldn't bother.

It's not a literal hugbox. You just remove those from the reply pool who would otherwise shitpost anyway. It's an own initiative where you have to rely less on staff intervention when they do, in fact, shitpost.
>everyone tripfagged because they came from forums
That's a very good assessment and I hadn't thought of it before.
>grew anon culture
And in turn, we ended up with the shitfest that was Chanology. Are you claiming that this was a positive experience?
>But there ISN't anything wrong with not lurking. The fault lies with people not spoonfeeding me everything. I live solely to leech off people. If you don't spoonfeed me everything, I'm going to act like a stupid ignorant nigger
But that's true, you silly fucker. This is called enabling, and is the first and foremost reason thirstlords and attentionwhores exist.
>and when newfags see you doing it, they think its ok to do it themselves
This is also enabling. Why is this specifically out of the question, but the meme arrow text you just conjured is absolutely not an issue?
