Let's discuss everything you'd change with 4chan that has nothing to do with adding/removing a board.
Change Titles:
>/x/ - Horror and the Paranormal
>/m/ - Mecha and Tokusatsu
Other Changes:
>captcha only appears once every 3-5 posts or so
>actually enforce Global Rule #3
>add the ability to automatically hide all replies to a post when you hide/filter a post
>allow users to embed links to /f/
>all WebMs now have sound, and the volume setting is saved across the site for each user
>allow doubles on all boards
>increase the file size cap to 4MB on all boards that have it lower
>add animated PNG support
Remove rule 3
remove recaptcha. why do i have to help google spy on houses, or help their ai develop, just in order to post? this place is like mechanical turk now only you don't get paid money, you just get to post. holy fuck how has this gone on for so long?
get rid of /a/ on /tv/.
get rid of generals on /tv/ and replace it with /tvg/ - Television Generals
>>345935
i believe he simply wants a captcha solution that is not google's bullshit, and i would like that also
>>345907
>>/m/ - Mecha and Tokusatsu
I'd rather it just become sci-fi entirely so we can discuss Star Wars without people having to go "Is Star Wars /m/?"
I mean, we already do discuss it, this would just streamline things more.
Give /tv/ webm's with sound
>>345935
You can have CAPTCHA without Google.

>>346124
It's late here, shut up. Still, why do you want to remove filters?
>>346164
Because there is no point to them. For starters, they are contributing heavily to the growing general trend. Rather then calling things and people they don't like faggots, they hide in their generals for the few topics they care about, refuse to come out, and filter out everything else. Also any problems on the sites and bringing attention to it is normally responded to, 'lol just filter it'
The short version is, they fucking encourage people circlejerking and having echo boxes
>>346187
It seems like you have more of a problem with generals than you do filters. I don't use them myself, but filters can help people who don't know how to ignore shit. If every other shitpost got even more responses then this site would be in an even worse state than it is now.
>>346058

>>346507
I can see this one working.
Remove generals. If people want to post in a normal forum thread go to a normal forum. Generals don't actually work here and need to be propped up by the creation of new boards, filters and the catalog. They undermine normal posting and disrupt the regular flow of a board.
The old method was to make a thread on a topic and you usually got a few posts, and maybe stirred up a real discussion on a focused idea, that thread then dies with the discussion and people move on to a different topic.
Now a single general sits on a board generating no new discussion or ideas. Endlessly circling the same focused topic without branching out or pulling from a wider userbase that and older style thread would attract. Any thread related to that topic is sent to the general instead. It generates echo chambers and circlejerking instead of ideas and new discussion.
Imageboards are best served with short rapid fire threads, and only if the discussion is interesting does it last for a long period.
Ban anyone that posts on /co/, /v/ or /tv/ from posting on /a/
>>347505
this, and ban /v/, /b/, /a/ and other crossboard shitposters from /g/
>>347502
How would one go about removing generals?
>>347502
>remove generals
>removing the only non-shitpost threads
>>347519
One rule addition "Creation of a series of threads with the same topic in a short period of time or on a schedule may result in a ban"
Enforce it after roughly 4 threads, give or take a few. Loophole for threads with the creation of content (drawthreads mostly) could also be implemented
>>347798
This could also cut down on "shill" threads and constantly remade shitposting threads
>>346098
What general problem on /a/? The whole board is basically about the generals. Other threads only survive if they're worth posting in. Everything is perfectly the way we want it to be
>>347882
>The whole board is basically about the generals
That's the problem, moron, generals are starting to become the only type of thread. As this anon here said >>347502 generals are bad. Posters these days have this constant need for always having a thread up for something they like, even if it serves no purpose other than it just being there for the sake of it. Nothing is perfect, the board is slowly decaying into nothing but circlejerking and faggotry
>Other threads only survive if they're worth posting in
You can't seriously believe this
>>348354
>Posters these days have this constant need for always having a thread up for something they like, even if it serves no purpose other than it just being there for the sake of it.
This I agree with; using the thread system like your own interest-based chatroom is a problem.
>the board is slowly decaying into nothing but circlejerking and faggotry
Every interest board has had varying degrees of this throughout the years, /a/ is no different.
>>Other threads only survive if they're worth posting in
>You can't seriously believe this
Whatever the majority wants (that isn't against the rules) is worth posting in. Just because what you want isn't there doesn't mean it will be. See: Naruto threads.
>>348905
>>Whatever the majority wants (that isn't against the rules) is worth posting in. Just because what you want isn't there doesn't mean it will be. See: Naruto threads.
No, my point there was that in modern times, outside of the generals, normally threads not worth posting in survive. See: Dub, CR, rec threads
>>345935
use legacy captcha in settings reee
>>348909
If the board outside of generals are filled with threads nobody wants to post in, why don't you make your own?
>>348912
I'm bad with coming up with good threads topics and encouraging discussion. But atleast I try unlike some anons
>>348354
>Posters these days have this constant need for always having a thread up for something they like
If there is no general up, they will just shitpost somewhere else, just not enough to warrant a ban.
>>348917
Don't give up, you're the reason everything sucks right now!
>>348354
But generals on /a/ are almost always made when there's a new episode of a show. If we didn't have a general, there'd be tons of small threads about the same subject.
I don't recall anyone on /a/ not liking this system, it works perfectly fine there and if you don't like generals on /a/ it's probably because the topics of you threads are too uninteresting and shit to survive
>>345907
Make port begging a bannable offense on any video game related board.
>>345907
I like your options OP, you are still a faggot, but a cool faggot, like Freddy Mercury.
>>345936
I agree, we can have better captchas than google botnet.
>>345955
mah nigga.
Here are others people suggest.
Allow pdf files in /diy/ and /sci/, and .stl files in /diy/ and /3/.
Allow "hilo latino" on /mlp/
Allow australians to post on /mu/
Contain the dick threads on /soc/ to only one general.
Rename "/adv/ - Advice" to "/adv/ - Advice & Self-Improvement". Give space to life hacks and education.
Rename "/sci/ - Science & Mathematics" to "/sci/ - Science & Engineering". Invite the discussion of machines and engineering.
Rename "/po/ - Papercraft & Origami" to "/po/ - Puzzles & Origami". Give space for puzzles and crosswords along origami.
Rename "/vp/ - Pokémon" to "/vp/ - Virtual Pets". The community asks to include Digimons to revive its board.
Rename "/vr/ - Retro Games" to "/vr/ - Retro & Indie Games". /v/ has many problems and this helps in part.
flags on every board
Remove flags on /int/ and /pol/.
>>345907
>/x/ - Horror and the Paranormal
nah just leave it paranormal, just send christfags and RP threads to /trash/ and sent creepypasta fags to /lit/
>>349518
Creepypasta is the heart of /x/, or it was until /pol/ started to infiltrate atheist shit and christfags followed.
Hiroyuki can save the board by creating a board for religion.
/a/ changes:
>kana captchas
>new rule that officially bans rec threads
>new rule that officially bands gookshit
/co/ changes:
>new rule that bans all live action discussion from /co/
>relaxed rules about generals, since /co/ would be dead without them
/tv/ changes:
>improve moderation in general, delete /v/, /co/, and /pol/ topics on sight
>new rule that prohibits celebrity threads
>>349450
>Rename "/vp/ - Pokémon" to "/vp/ - Virtual Pets". The community asks to include Digimons to revive its board.
Pokemon isn't a virtual pet in any way, shape or form. You're basically kicking out the original community. Hell, Digimon started as one, and barely is at this point
>Rename "/vr/ - Retro Games" to "/vr/ - Retro & Indie Games". /v/ has many problems and this helps in part.
What do indie and retro games have to do with eachother? Retro games are the least indie thing on the planet, and indie games are the least retro thing on the planet.
>>349688
To add to the second one, it would make more sense to make /v/ the indie game board, and put recent licensed games in /vr/ since it's often the same old companies doing the licensed games. I think either option is fucking stupid though.
>>349450
>Rename "/sci/ - Science & Mathematics" to "/sci/ - Science & Engineering". Invite the discussion of machines and engineering.
It makes more sense for /g/ to cover this, no?
>Rename "/po/ - Papercraft & Origami" to "/po/ - Puzzles & Origami". Give space for puzzles and crosswords along origami.
Has the community asked for this specifically?
>Rename "/vp/ - Pokémon" to "/vp/ - Virtual Pets". The community asks to include Digimons to revive its board.
This I like. Although as >>349688 pointed out the name needs to be something other than 'Virtual' Pets.
>Rename "/vr/ - Retro Games" to "/vr/ - Retro & Indie Games". /v/ has many problems and this helps in part.
I agree with >>349688 and >>349694 as in that is a shitty idea.
>>349566
If you want to ban all live action discussion from /co/, but then delete /co/-type stuff on /tv/, then where will all the live-action capeshit go? Also celebrity threads are already not allowed on /tv/; they just talk about 'bodies of work'.
>>349688
I believe his first name change was with the intent to keep the vp acronym. I agree with your second point.

Why do captchas expire so quickly? I should be able to solve a bunch of captchas in a row and save them up for hassle free posting.
>>349823
>>make /mlp/ a red board
That's why we have /trash/
>>fix /i/
How?
>>enable robot on /b/
That's what /r9k/ is for
>>every other post on [s4s] results in a short ban just for fun
Sounds annoying. The bard's slow enough as is
completely ban star wars and capeshit
Ban all live-action and video game shit from /co/.
Ban all "wagekek" threads on /r9k/, they are nothing but shitposts and go against the point of the board anyway ("original" content) since they all basically say the exact same thing.
Permanently ban everyone who has posted on /trash/ [s4s] /r9k/ /soc/ and /b/ within the past week
replace the mods on v completly
remove captcha from r9k entirely. the robot would deter spammers
Ban generals on /tv/ please. It's just tripfag circlejerking.
>>345907
>actually enforce Global Rule #3
Someone can't handle the bantz.
>>345909
FUCKING THIS
>make /mlp/- Pony to /mlp/- Pony and Equestria Girls
Allow NSFW images to be posted in select /vg/ threads like /aa2g/ or /hgg/, and any other generals about games with pornographic content.
It's not like you'd be browsing those threads at work anyway.
>>349478
>Remove flags on /int/ and /pol/.
I understand /pol/, but why remove them from /int/? They're literally the point of the board.
If you want to get rid of generals on /int/, which I agree with, just make a rule against them.
>>350236
Isn't that already implied?
Nothing. 4chan is fine as it is.
>>351229
Then why are we here?
>>351221
>Why are people against flags now? Don't you remember how /pol/ was before them?
Flags on /int/ just encourage shitposting. If you're from Mexico, India, or whatever country has been deemed meme of the week, you can actually have a serious discussion because you'll just get spammed with "build wall xdddd" "DESIGNATED xddddddd" Plus, the flags on /pol/ just encourage threads that should belong on /int/ like "post flags from your cunt" or whatever.
I'm not a butthurt Indian or Mexican either, I'm an American.
>>349450
>Rename "/sci/ - Science & Mathematics" to "/sci/ - Science & Engineering". Invite the discussion of machines and engineering.
Math needs to stay in the title.
>>349831
v1 takes longer to expire.
>>350142
The robot doesn't even deter frogposters.
>>345955
That's a terrible idea because it would attract people who have no interest in Japanese/mecha related subjects to the board and would come to it solely to discuss science fiction. Tolerating occasional sci-fi discussion is fine, but officially endorsing it is a completely different thing.
>>352144
This is a case of the moderators not properly enforcing Global Rule #3.
Change the word filter to change all of the current filtered words to only "desu"
Updated list.
Change Titles:
>/x/ - Horror and the Paranormal
>/m/ - Mecha and Tokusatsu
>/adv/ - Advice and Self-Improvement
Board Specific Changes:
>remove the ability to post threads on /trash/
>allow colorposting on /s4s/
>allow users to embed links to /f/
>allow doubles on all boards where it isn't allowed
Other Changes:
>allow users the option to automatically hide all replies to a post when you hide/filter a post

>increase the file size cap to 4MB on all boards that have it lower
>add animated PNG support
>all WebMs now have sound, and the volume setting is saved across the site for each user
>allow .pdf files on all boards
Every board should have flags
Every board should have spoilers
>>354037
Please explain both points.
>>346507
Yes please, this.
>>352144
That's right, thanks to flags now the shitposting has increased, and legit posting is discouraged.
>>355270
Correction, circlejerk has increased, legit posting is drowning.
Stop this madness, ID are ok. Shit, put IDs in every board, but be careful with flags.

Whoops I didn't see this thread so I created my own
Heres a buttload of bugs to add:
>/his/ and /trash/ don't have redirects from 4chan.org

>not sure if nonoko still even works
>the archives are slow and painful to use
>there are two nearly identical forms for replying to threads, creating and replying to threads should exclusively be moved to the floating window, and the old moved to options or deleted
>long single word posts break scrolling on mobile
>replying and creating threads not very mobile friendly
>hard to click on board dropdown on smaller phones
>new captcha doesn't work / hard to use for some people (I haven't personally experienced any problems)
>failing captcha sometimes deletes entire post
>storing settings in cookie doesn't work for majority of posters who have them disabled/using incognito mode/using do not track mode
>playing too webms simultaneously sometimes causes bug with the [close] and reply links when closing one
New features which would be good:
>allow attaching image from link to online resource
>an alert should be added if a user has text typed and is attempting to leave the page
>create an option for a specific max dimensions for an image so huge images don't take up three pages (I know there is a setting similar to this but it would help if you could enter custom ones as fit screen is often still too big)
>add a live character count on the bottom of a post
>>355602
>not sure if nonoko still even works
It does, but only when you use that "post a reply" feature from the top of the page, if you use it in a new reply window (which I assume literally everyone uses) it does nothing.
>>345907
>E-enf-force rules!!
You blew it newfag. Was doing good before.
Go play hugbox on neogaf.
>>351221
they take preference on specific boards.
Through seing your post you are either new or from /co/mblr, so your stupidity is forgivable.
+1 for sound webms. /tv/ and /v/ is a must.
>>354023

This actually was an option for a few days, I have no idea why they got rid of it.
>>355602
>/news/ has a naming conflict with http://www.4chan.org/news/
Yap, it should be renamed to /new/.
>blotter and note feature have the exact same functionality, and need to be merged
>note feature
wat?
>the archives are slow and painful to use
Agreed, they could use a search feature like in the catalog. It gets quite laggy for boards like /v/ with over 14,000 dead threads, so it should be broken up into pages of 1,000 or so.
some other bugs:
>"Center threads" option doesn't work on Chrome
>Hyperlinks (the ones that appear when you have "Linkify URLs" enabled) will disappear if you click "Comment too long. Click here to view the full text." when viewing threads from the board index
>If a hyperlink is used in greentext, any additional text that appears on the same line will be non-green
>The "[View]" text in 4chan.org/board/archive doesn't adjust for different themes and is impossible to read in Tomorrow
>/f/ should get an archive
>>355760
>Don't be retarded, that'll just make spambots active again
Changed to every 2 posts.
>encouraging the usage of retarded filters
Why are you against users having a little choice to what they're exposed to?
>>349450
>Rename "/sci/ - Science & Mathematics" to "/sci/ - Science & Engineering". Invite the discussion of machines and engineering.
What, why? Math 100% belongs on /sci/ and engineers post there already, that change is totally unecessary.
>>356021
>Changed to every 2 posts.
A pointless change
>Why are you against users having a little choice to what they're exposed to?
It might be a good idea in theory, but in use its not. Outside of boards that are purely generals, it encourages and people do grow incredibly retarded mentalitys around them. A good example would be bringing up any problems now a days will normally result in a 'just filter it lol' as a response
If anything, the base 4chan design should be set back to how it was years ago, the inline extension by default turned off and by default require tweaking to set up. Early extensions was a hell in its own way and would help scare away a lot of the casual users who only come here to shitpost
>>352144
Wow, did you ever post on /int/ before flags? There were even more "X country sucks" threads because no one could where you were actually from. Nevermind all the "Argentina is white" threads, those were rampant.
>>356026
>A pointless change
How is it pointless to halve the number of captchas you have to fill out? That's like half a 4chan pass for free!
