Well, Hiro. I've had adblock off on 4chan for quite a while now but after seeing this, I think I'll enable it.
Let me know when this ad is gone and I'll disable adblock again.
>>384664
4chan has malicious ads on the front page, you should not be disabling adblock regardless.

Hi 8gag!
Why are current weebs so intensely into traps/trannies/etc?
It was always sort of a thing, like with Bridget jokes and such, but never on this level. Nowadays every other weeb you meet is a tranny or would-be tranny and half of what they talk about is chicks with dicks.
I don't think that's the group you call "weebs" but rather just people who like to appear as weird and edgy as possible. It's like a whole new subculture of people who get off on trying to confuse people with strangeness.
>>384532
>I don't think that's the group you call "weebs"
I'm talking about people who obsessively watch anime, read manga, buy merchandise, use the avatars, stutter-type, and consider this all to be their main hobby.
If that isn't your definition of "weeb" then okay, cool, now you know what I meant by it and we can ignore that insufferable semantics discussion for the thousandth time.
>>384537
Yeah, and I'm saying it's not them. It's people who hardly even care about anime, they just come to /a/ and shit for the trap threads and to talk about what gets them off. Counter-culture nonsense, the "heh this place is so fucked up" sort of posting that gave this site the reputation it has.
But thanks for the unnecessary freakout. I can tell this thread is off to a great start with a reasonable poster such as yourself involved.
Do you think we can word filter Reddit to some other site, like Gaia or 4chan? The Reddit blame game and war has gotten so bad this year its caused a massive increase in shitposting. Almost all insults thrown around now are about going back to Reddit. In fact it seems like who legit are invading from Reddit are using that insult as well just to piss people off. Point being, Reddit needs to be word filtered to something else in order to stop the constant spam of the word. Its just like baka desu and senpai. We need Reddit changed to something else, maybe Gaia, since that used to be something of a boogyman back in the early days of 4chan. Or hell just filter Reddit to 4chan.
We just need Reddit filtered already. This can't keep going on anymore, just look at >>379651 and see how bad things are getting. Its not asking for much, just a simple filter like that would really cut back on the constant go back to Reddit spam
>>384468
I'm conflicted... from a side this will only be more cancerous and I'm strongly against word filters, but I want to see someone say "go back to 4chan". It should be made the only word filter.
>>384468
It should redirect to "Liberal, Retard Land."
If they do continue to add filters I would be pretty surprised if Reddit/Leddit -> 4chan wasn't one of the next ones. It has definitely gotten to be a massive problem and a simple filter would throw people off to the extent that they'd use it less.
>someone dislikes my generic creatively bankrupt moe garbage with zero redeeming value except qt grils
>better tell him to go to /v/!
But I love generic moe and my homeboard is /v/
Please strictly ban all forms of writeshit from boards that don't specifically house it, and ideally make a global announcement, mod post, and/or rule specifically against it. This includes fanfiction, quest/roleplay shit outside /tg/, and most/all greentext stories barring specific cases where it's on-topic like describing an actual gameplay experience on /v/.
Setting aside that it's blatantly off-topic in virtually all cases, any threads where it's allowed to take root becomes an off-topic circlejerk where a handful of people clog up entire threads with stories, reposts, and requests, making any kind of extended discussion virtually impossible. Obviously, this also causes people to make endless generals because they're no longer discussing the content of the topic but rather loosely related shit that is based on said topic.
Prime current examples can be seen in /a/'s Monster Girl threads (which currently already has a /qa/ thread >>365996) and /co/'s RWBY threads (which have had /qa/ threads previously). Probably more, but those are the notorious examples that nobody on their respective boards wants to be there.
For virtually every fanbase that has needed to be forcefully evicted from boards such as /a/ and /co/, writeshit has been the main cause. Drawfags have to stay contained within their own general on a given board specifically because they derail threads, Writefags being given more freedom despite being less desirable and more detrimental is absurd. I personally think they shouldn't be on the site whatsoever, but this shit is not going to stop without harsh moderator action and/or collaboration from users.
Any anons should be doing their part and reporting this shit on sight. It's already considered off topic in nearly all cases and gets deleted. Even if you don't regularly report things, this is one of the few cases where it WILL be acted on with high regularity and thus is worth your time.
But I like the cyoa threads.
How about we work on other, more pressing forms of cancer like memesters and /q/posting faggots?
>>383731
/mlp/ would fucking disappear.
I agree though. Drawfagging/writefagging is a furfag preoccupation. Just meaningless reams of shit for furfags to delude themselves into believing they are creative and influential.
>>>/news/8720
I thought referral links were against the rules? Doesn't /news/ have mods?

>waaahh waah the mods aren't doing waht i want!!! ban him MODS MODS!!!!!!

>someone breaks the rules

>its reddit to want to have mods do something
what?
>>383641
That's not a referral link. He just pasted the URL wrong because he followed a link from 4chan to that site and then linked something on /news/.
If you're going to bitch, know what you're talking about first. So you don't create stupid threads like this instead of discussing actual problems.
Reddit has honestly turned out to be a much better place for discussing things you like than 4chan.
>inb4 gb2/reddit/
I'll go there and I'll go here as I please. You mad?
>>376115
That's a hilarious thought because of how ineffectual it would be.
Just getting a front row seat for the incoming ban.
>>376115
Yea, like that's ever going to happen. You sekrit club fags are cute.
>/a/ is the best place on the internet that's not dead to talk about anime/manga
>every other topic on 4chan can be enjoyed elsewhere without underage meme spouters shitposting everywhere
It's almost like the people who use this website for anything other than to talk about anime/manga are retarded.
>>384219
/a/ is full of meme spewing teenagers.
Where the fuck have you been for the past eight years?
The best places to discuss anime and manga aren't in English; they're Japanese sites, more often than not smaller webrings/blogs and image/textboards which by nature prevents shits like you accidentally barging into the conversation.
You are part of the larger group of retards.
>>384241
>/a/ is the best place on the Western internet to talk about anime/manga
Happy now?
And Japanese is a very difficult language that's not really worth learning.
>>384241
He's right though anon, it's obvious he was talking about English sites. /a/ really is the only place on the English side with speed thats decent to talk about anime/manga. All the others are filled with drooling casual retards who do things like unironically review anime, say things like 'manime' and moeshit is killing the industry' seriously and are filled with idiots who type like a 12 year old furry roleplayers
ITT: we try to guess each other's homeboards based on memes that are specific to it.
I'll start:
>I bought this for my wife's son
/int/
And /int/ memes are shit.

Remember when everyone thought making a furry board would destroy 4chan forever?
Anyone else noticed that hasn't happened?
People have been saying /trash/ is slowing down quite a bit, and soon most people won't even know its real once its off the front page.
>>383450
They'll get sick of their pen soon
>>>/trash/586162
Brony guy is already crying
That's a nice flower.
Please start deleting all Persona 5 threads on /v/. They've become furfag circlejerks. Furfags can't contain their autism and have to obsess and sexualize over every anthro/animal character ever.
purroblem?
laughing the fact that pic looks like morgana got whopping big titties sacks
>>383356
I reported them earlier and a furfag janishitter warned me for it. Probably just going to leave Nintendoga/v/ for Gamefaqs at this point. Let them wallow in their own filth.
What 4chan board is the slowest?
/t/ or /i/
https://catalog.neet.tv/stats.html
/x/ no doubt
I know it's been said for years now but i honestly feel like this site is going to die really soon, more than i have ever felt before.
I mean, Moot doesn't even own the site anymore and ever since he left the site has technically gone to shit. The website has been down a shit ton since he left and there is a lot more technical problems than when moot was here. Plus he sold it to some Japanese dude we barely know that could shutdown or sell the site at any minute.
Honestly, i really feel like this site is gonna die really soon and by die i don't mean the community i mean the site itself. I want to know if anyone else shares the feeling that this site is gonna go soon so i know i`m not alone.
>complains about the death of 4chan
>posts feel pic, the number one cancer ruining this site
It will end up as a complete clusterfuck and die
It can still be saved, if whole moderation staff is replaced
But that's not happening so
The mods aren't the real problem. The userbase is the main issue. Smarten up, and you won't get banned by them.
Can someone please give me a rational reason for requiring captcha to be filled out with every single post?
Other sites use systems where you fill it out once every so often (every hour to a day) or where you fill it out every so many posts. And it works perfectly fine for them. I cannot see any reason (other than coercing users to buy a pass).
The only arguments I can think of are
>But spam
Which on any decent board is nearly nonexistant and will almost definitely continue to be so even with a system where you only have to fill one out every so often, or so many posts. Looking at other popular chan alternatives even without captcha few of them have any real amount of spam. You can even look at some boards which didn't get captcha for years on this site and didn't suffer almost any real automated or commercial spam Furthermore the only reason that capatcha was implemented in the first place was as a temporary solution to a malware attack on a 4chan with crappier servers and DDOS protection, that the users themselves brought on by being utter fucktards. Commercial spam was never really that much of an issue and it is unlikely another simple automated attack could do real damage.
>But we tried removing it on /pol/ and it was chaos
Only because moot did that to fuck with the /pol/ocks, putting embeds, filters and no post timers. Furthermore while it was chaos there was not a true increase of automated spam as far as I could tell.
>Why do we even need less capatcha anyways
Well for one thing it's annoying for many boards such as image dump boards, and in general it makes it much harder to post on the site for those with vision problems (such as myself). Furthermore having people fill out capatcha every post makes people waste their valuable time and by constantly sending requests from your IP to google, it raises some privacy concerns, as well as making it much more likely unsolvable capatchas will appear.
So please Hiro, consider reforming the capatcha system
No, you're retarded, pedotalk spam was the fucking worst.
And yes, spammers still exist, and still spam here.
>in general it makes it much harder to post on the site for those with vision problems (such as myself)
Audio captcha is a thing, you fucking tard.
>>382151
One single anon managed to squeeze out 72 identical OP's on /o/ the other day. God knows how many that would have been, and how long it would have lasted, if captchas weren't a thing.
And sure, we're not getting our shit pushed in with spam now, but if we drop the captchas it will be mere weeks till the spambots and other fuckery return, basically as long as it takes for word to spread among the skiddies and bogeymen from [insert most hated site here] that the pants are down, and the anus is gaping.
I for one stand with my captcha overlord.
>>382162
>Pedotalk spam was the worst
As I said, the only notable spam was Kimmo's doing, and the fact that that crap stayed up in the first place was due to incompetence. These days protections are much better.
>Spamer's still exist
Very rarely someone will spam by hand (as in your example) and if they are willing to do that, then reducing the capatcha will not have noticeable effect on it.
Furthermore if your only objection is people making many threads, then you can leave capatcha for making a new thread intact, while still removing the limits on replies.
>Audio capatcha is a thing
Oh great, I love taking thirty seconds to listen to this garbled crap before I can make a fucking post every single time I want to make one.
>>382168
>If capatcha's weren't a thing
He would have spammed just as much, regardless asI have said if it is a concern we can keep capatcha for certain activities (like making a thread) because that should not be a common activity.
> if we drop the captchas It will be mere weeks till the spambots and other fuckery returns
There are many decently large chan sites with no or little capatcha protection that do not seem to have any of this sort of trouble. But again as I said, I only preposed to reform capatcha to be less onerous a burden, not remove it entirely.
When are we getting new mods for /v/ or at least a containment board for Nintendrones?
>make blatant console warring post
>surprised when your banned for it
did you even read the rules?
>>382131
He's complaining about the inconsistency. Don't be obtuse.
>>382141
The mods are human and INCREDIBLY OUTNUMBERED.
Sorry that he made a blatant shitpost and got banned for it.
