How much is it gonna cost me to become janitor on /tv/ email me at [email protected] thanks mods.
Fuck off
No m8 you got it all wrong. You get paid to be a mod on /tv/.
You just have to prove that you'll delete anything that gets in the way of all the officially approved commercial spam.

Ask Hiroyuki on Twitter.
Anyone knows why was /rs/ removed?
Because the site rapidshare is dead.
>>384261
It has archived mediafire links as well.
>>384263
Mediafire is also dead.
Does anyone know about any decent place to talk about videogames? I'm tired of the autistic Nintoddler mods and userbase on /v/. Neogaf is not an option, place is full of them as well.

You have to new 18 or older to post on 4chan

seems pretty disingenuous desu with you.
What's hiro's opinion on tripcodes?
The majority of the userbase want tripcodes removed or at least an option to enable trips when creating a thread. They're ultimately pointless to keep globally in all threads unless the OP wants to identify himself or for niche purposes, which can be solved by having an option for the user.
Filtering tripcode abusers is what the majority of people do but not even that stops then from others replying to them and thus derailing the thread. Even if you filter, you have no control of the other people in the thread derailing...

Why take freedom away from the user? Tripcodes can be very useful in certain extremely specific situations, like generals, q&as, OC threads etc. As long as the majority of users shame, dismiss and filter people who use tripcodes to attention whore, as they do, I see no reason to remove them.
Tripcodes are inherent part of imageboard culture.
People who want attention will find another way to piss you off.

Just kill yourself already, you imbecilic cumdumpster.
Have you ever managed to successfully force a meme?
No but I managed to convince moot to rename /jp/ into Otaku Culture, which in turn turned into a meme, if that counts.
I usually join forced meme trains on /g/ because it's so shit that even that garbage is more entertaining than the average thread on the board.
Only the "Apple users eat shit from their hands" one has really been successful though.
I forced a big dank meme into your mom's vagina if you know what I mean
Hey Hiroshimoot you really need to address the /d/ problem. Thing is, /d/ has always been the placed for fucked up cartoon porn, from both East and West. It exists as a containment board for /h/. No one cared about region distinctions. But since they creation of /aco/, the rules at /d/ have tightened and simultaneously/aco/ has relaxed. Now there are two factions in /aco/, the /d/ posters and the people who actually wanted this board for it's intended purposes. It's a mess. No one likes when a containment board leaks.
But good news is, it's easy to fix....

Stop making 10 theads, you silly deviantart kid

No
I doubt he will do anything about it until you tell me what reaction image number one is.
>allow western fetish art on /d/ again
>remove the rule banning western art and fanart
>post a sticky on /d/ reiterating the new rule changes
It's good that you're making changes Hiro but you need to follow up and and fix the problems that arise from them
>>372508
What changes did he do now?
Fuck off to /aco/
>>372512
Mods banned /d/ users from /d/ en masse over western art.
Now the board is slow as shit
The fact is that the people who wanted /aco/ in the first place aren't happy because they wanted NSFW /co/. The people who were forced off /d/ aren't happy because a lot of their threads got wrecked and now they're scattered between two boards for niche things with a scarce amount of content and every time they post a thread, they get bombarded with posts going 'What's the appeal?/You're sick/How can you like this?' etc. The only people that are happy are autists who get off by insisting they're right.
Not to mention some types...

This.
>>368129
agreed. i miss the old /d/. /aco/ is weird
Make /aco/ just a rule 34 board and bring back old /d/. Or, modify /d/ to be the fetish board. All fetish material, east and west, goes to /d/. Some fetishes are just too niche to be split between two boards. But all the fetishes together have enough content to fill out a board. And all the weebs that cry about it can just fuck off. Problem solved.

You're destroying your own site 6 gorillion times more effectively than any redditor ever could. All it does is lower the signal-to-noise ratio even further, because it's not like any tourist actually takes those repetitive comments seriously.

this, if you don't act like a reddit user you won't get told to go back to reddit. i have never been told to go back to reddit(though I assume salty redditors will quote me and do just this to "get" me)
the biggest problem with this fucking website is nobody lurks anymore, and nobody wants to assimilate into the site culture anymore

Its clear now to everyone on here and on most other boards like /d/, /aco/, /v/, and /tv/ that the boiling point between mods and users has now been reached. Except for boards like /a/ and /jp/, the mods have been acting like complete nazi's, banning people who dare to criticize them on any other board besides /qa/, leaving up shitposts for hours without deleting them, leaving up off topic threads without deleting them, and simply not caring at all about the board they're supposed to take of. IRC logs that were leaked earlier this year showed that the mods hate the...

Either way, both sides are at fault for the way 4chan is now: Mods for hating the user base and becoming Nazi's and lazy asses, and the user base for not trying to fight back hard enough against shitposters. THIS MUST STOP! Nothing will ever get done at this rate. Its getting worse and worse on 4chan now, and I can see why many older users are leaving the site to go elsewhere.
I don't know what the fuck Hiro has been doing, but he needs to start interacting with the userbase and getting to know us and...

And one more thing to the moderation team: If you're going to view complaints about moderation as "spam" now and ban people for it, why don't you actually start doing your job and delete off topic threads that really are spam
when you have moderation without controls or accountability, then this happens every time and on every discussion site.
other sites have adapted and made the mods and admins accountable by making them public, for starters. 4chan is one of the rare sites where mods identities are unknown to other users. There is no reason for this other than to encourage abuse.
>go on every board
>"generals" for the smallest of things, usually made because of a one off question
Why is this allowed? This is literally subreddits and it's allowed.
/vg/ was a mistake
>>384269
Almost everyone hates the stupid things and the mods don't want to put the effort into killing them. Generals are technically not allowed
/vg/ was a bad mistake
The time has come to seriously discuss what we're going to do about this problem. It's high time we deleted or merged some boards - now which ones?! There's more than a few that need deleting. Time to start picking and choosing them. Helpful suggestions in the picture are made.
>>383766
That's cute. Maybe a mod will hang it on the fridge.

>The time has come to seriously discuss what we're going to do about this problem
What problem?
The >>/his/ board should be for your post history, it should display all the active threads a user has posted in.
>>382598
Too many users, unless you mean it's just for you. That might be a neat feature but probably wouldn't be a /board/ exactly.
>>382615
>just for you
Yeah, that's what I mean.
It would be a pretty easy thing to do, even for 4chan devs.
It would have to be a dynamic web page and display different threads based on the users IP address and post history.
>>382626
Most people these days have a dynamic IP so that wouldn't work.
I don't quite understand why you would want this anyway.
>/a/ is the best board with the best moderation
Says how shit the rest of 4chan really is, because /a/'s quality and moderation are still sub-par.
>>379095
/a/ is trash and they only watch FOTM moeblob shit
/v/ has better taste in anime than /a/ ever will
>>379097
Even if this was true (it isn't), /v/ is still a shitty board with some of the worst moderation on the site, so I don't see your point.
>>379097
>this is what /v/tards actually believe
Oh yeah man, Cowbow Bebop and Dragon Ball Z is so amazing.
Hi, Hiro, /pol/ user here.
I would just like to inform you I've found a bug that might be a security risk.
You can "linkify" URLs without a user having the "linkify" settings enabled.
For example:
https://sys.4chan.org/%64erefer?url=www.youtube.com
Also, there doesn't seem to be a lot of validation as it works with non-links too:
https://sys.4chan.org/%64erefer?url=hello%20Hiro
Just...

Has it been fixed already?
the only security risk would be if someone attached a redirect but even then it would be fucking obvious IP or long string of seemingly random numbers, located after an @ or before the URL.
>>384932
plus theres a proper place to report security risks, and it isnt here
