Can we all agree that the Fappening was the worst thing to happen to this website?
Absolutely. Still makes me chuckle how newfags unironically think that Gamergate, and not the Fappening, was the reason for the massive reddit / normalfag influx towards the end of 2014.
>>467429
Yeah. Gamergate was at least just a bunch of (mostly) likeminded people, but IIRC, they kept to their home site.
Fappening though, got too much media attention and even made moot leave.
Faggots who
>imply
That it was actually GG that caused it are delusional, since GGfags fucked off to cripplechan.
Fappening's lulz factor wasn't worth the amount of faggotry that spread.
Chanology and GG were also terrible.
What would 4chan be like if we had user names?
>>466378
search 'sheeky forums'
it's a 4chan clone page that adds an username to every post
use adblock

Just like every average forum.
But we already have usernames.
For a long time now, /d/ has faced numerous problems, most related to moderation issues. This thread is an attempt to get proper attention brought to these issues and bring solutions to these.
The biggest and most pressing issue /d/ faces is the recent mod-driven shift in /d/'s posting base. For years now /d/ has been a board for General Fetishism, supporting both Eastern and Western art. Recently, the mods have decided that not only is Western art forbidden, but that many fetishes with Japanese art are also banned. This has severely reduced the amount of posters...

(2/2)
Additionally, the recent slowdown in posting has exacerbated another longstanding issue with /d/: for years now /d/ has had issues with a very persistent spammer who spams futa content. While other users create singular threads for fetishes, this poster creates up to fifty futa threads at a time. Each thread receives one image every one or two days (most of which have nothing to do with the OP) to bump it to the top of the catalog, which continues until the thread reaches the image limit.
This pushes...

I don't post on /d/ but I remember the old /qa/ thread from months ago about that site that sells those items...
Have a bump, /d/friend
Nobody cares.
There is a 200+ replies abortion politics shitflinging shitpost fest on /his/ right now
There are both sitewide and board specific rules against this
WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE MODS
is micromanaging every other post for /a/, /tv/ & /v/ really worth letting the rest of the site go to shit? Especially on a board thats new and therefore has actual quality posts beibg buried by this shitposting?

Im actually somewhat /pol/ myself but I have the goddamn maturity to keep discussion ontopic. Guess thats...

4chan is under /pol/ control
>>467926
why contain it?
>>467926
Mods aren't micromanaging shit on /tv/, it's getting worse.
>people think I'm samefagging
>I'm actually not samefagging
>have no way to prove it
>they get away with it and I look like a fool
Why is this allowed?
>>467503
At least you can take comfort in knowing there's one person who knows you aren't samefagging: the other guy who got accused of being you.
z0mg I know this feel all too well.

The IP counter is your friend.
Do you like /mu/ ?
>>>/mu/63296567
I used to browse it a lot, Haven't been there since Centipede HZ and No Love Deep Web were released.
Does /mu/ still have a hard-on for Scaruffi?
Any new additions to essential /mu/core? (Loveless, MBDTF, ITAOTS, etc.)
>>467505
People are divided on the reviewers. I think Scaruffi is good at writing academic style reviews but I don't really agree with his scores.
/mu/core, not sure really. The board is obsessed with memes now, it's honestly hard to tell whether an album being spammed is good or it's some cunt trying to make a new meme
>>467509
Shame.
I've heard that Grimes spamming has gotten worse, is that true? I remember it being noticeable but not that bad.
I also remember a tripfag who claimed 80's synth pop or some shit (can't recall the actual genre) was superior to anything and later he turned out to be just a lonely kid. He even made a cool compilation of his favorites. Is that guy still around?
What would you say is the easiest board to rile up on 4chan.org? Why?
>>467320
probably /qa/ considering 90% of the threads here are angry people asking the mods to get rid of things they don't like
>>467321
What a shame, in theory this seemed like the best board to ask but i guess it's been around for long enough to develop some sort of culture
Either /pol/ or /r9k/. Both are steeped eyeballs-deep in board hivemind shit hence anyone flagrantly breaking their customs is gonna get them mad.
For example a thread on /r9k/ about banging your GF after coming home from your lucrative job or the many reasons racists are just compensating for their own failures or are too afraid/lazy to bother learning or understanding cultures/people outside their comfort zones.
Since when are filename threads disallowed on boards like /v/ and /co?
They've always been a beloved tradition.
/v/ is fucked
>filename threads deleted
>roll for vidya waifu deleted
>hourly Youtube Gaming channel shill thread stays up
>hourly HOWS YOUR GAME COMING ALONG VEEE thread stays up

jesus christ just make me a fucking mod already.
/v/ mods are established lazy faggots. Most deleted threads come at the hand of bots sweeping the report bin.
>>467245
Since you uncreative faggots couldn't think of anything original and just kept posting the same shit. That's when.
Where were you when all the
>japanese moot is going to kill all the weeaboss on 4chan
fags were fucking anally destroyed by jmoot?
Not sure what OP is getting at but he seems fine with anime. Actually he is much more open and friendly towards it than post 2011 moot was.
>>467164
/a/ is full of normalfags these days, so it seemed that the weebs are indeed being slowly killed.
>I like animes and games, too. It's same.
Wow, what a victory for you weebs!
He likes anime and games, in fact it's all the same to him. Cheap entertainment, nothing that really matters in the longer run. "It's same".
What does this mean?
I see it posted constantly along with this photo, but I don't see any pattern or consistency with the frequency of posts
>>467079
It has a weird cadence to it, his "remember when you were a chud" paragraph. It seems like it should be sung.
Forced meme spammed by <50 people for the last several years.
They wanted it to be a slur for bronies, highlighting the childishness of MLP by comparing it to another children's show renowned for being obnoxiously retarded and gay.
They have never accepted that it failed to catch on.

I get this feeling that you're new.
did hiro buy hispachan?

No, he merely made a thread there.

but for what purpose

All humans should understand French, Spanish, and niggerspeak.
HEY NIPMOOT WE SHOULD HAVE A BOARD FOR SPACE ENTHUSIASTS! CALL IT /SPC/!
OR SOMETHING, IDGAF.
There used to be a space general on /sci/. They were okay threads. Go bring it back.
What does "safe for work" and "blue board" mean exactly? Is it about not allowing porn and gore? Is it strictly about images or is it also about the text?
/pol/ is a red board, but "posting pornography is not permitted". Same thing with /s4s/, no "porn dump threads" are allowed. So why are these boards red? Just so you can post gore?
>Is it about not allowing porn and gore?
yes
>is it also about the text?
not really. i guess if you filled the text box up with "fuck" it might be deleted. although that might just be because it was a low-quality post. but just having a few swear words in a post will not get it deleted.
>So why are these boards red? Just so you can post gore?
yes. i think an occasional lewd picture won't get deleted from [s4s], but i might be wrong.
>>466916
Blatantly pornographic text does get deleted and the poster occasionally warned/banned.
>>466977
Not on all blue boards. /mlp/ has many generals devoted to the art of greentext erotica.
Have you noticed how the main complaint nowadays is how mods are doing a shit job?
There seems to be a very slight improvement in /v/'s moderation since last year. Too bad every other user is still as dumb as a doorknob.
>>466845
You get what you paid for.
Just shows how much the standards have changed since the old days. We used to have barely any moderation at all. I remember I reposted the exact same threads over and over for weeks and the mods did nothing about them. I'm glad things have improved since then, but as the site gets bigger and bigger, we need more and more.
say something mean about swagman
>>466835
I really don't know anything about him other than he seems to enjoy [s4s] material and might be the sole reason for that board's continued existence.
>>466836
He's responsible for turning /tv/ into meme-central.
his name sounds too jewish
