>/news/ still hasn't got more than 10,000 posts
>>368989
I didn't know that quantity was a sign of quality. In fact the opposite seems true.
>>368990
A dead board also isn't a sign of quality.
>>368994
Posting pepe isn't a sign of quality either.
It's faster than /po/.
>dumb frogposter still hasn't got more than 70 points of IQ
I seriously had no idea there was a news board until I looked at this thread.
Why the fuck isn't it on the 4chanX board list? Why isn't /qa/ for that matter?

Only people like you who constantly use quick reply never see the announcement under the [Post a Reply] at the top of the page.

You only posted fluff and kept breaking the 5 post at a time rule anyway. Good riddance.
Is there a news archive?
>>369074
The 5 threads at a time rule is silly, especially for /news/.
Not even Reddit is this authoritarian.
Why does it matter how many threads someone posts if all the threads are good quality?

tl;dr: probably not right now
>>369083
I'm not sure (haven't personally seen it in action on more than a handful of boards) but I think the 5 post rule applies to all boards and has been that way for a very long time.
>>369085
Seems dumb not archive the early stuff for a new board. Especially one that is slow/low traffic with no images can't be much resource cost I imagine.
Hope desu steals their thunder :^)

He is good bot, keeping /news/ from being /pol/-2.0 with puff piece and food recipes.
>>369097
I resent him for being a rule breaker. It isn't fair to the people who are patiently waiting for their previous posts to finally get bumped off page 10 after 4 or 5 days.
If mods/Hiro wants to get rid of the 5 post rule on /news/ that's fine but as it is now it isn't fair to the people stuck with static IPs to be lax on that rule.
As for your second point, I appreciate a nicepost every now and then as much as the next Anon but not 25 of them on such a slow board.

Wouldn't he be helping those people?
>>369109
Even with all of the bot's fluffposting and that of the /int/ raiding party from the other day, it hasn't moved the catalog more than 2 or 3 pages.
But having the most recent posts in the catalog be all the NYTbot because every other legit poster is waiting for the stories doesn't help because it scares serious posters off as much as having the catalog full of pages of /pol/ racebait or /v/ gaming clickbait would.
All that said, I don't like the NYT personally but I'm really trying to keep an open mind about what an acceptable source is. I mean, I would take a NYTbot in a heartbeat over some other sources he could be spamming.

>over some other sources he could be spamming.
Don't jinx it or we'll get BreitbartBot.
>>369128
I was thinking NYPOSTBot but Breitbart is just as bad if not worse.
While I don't agree post count equals quality, the decision to make it text-only is just baffling.
Not only because most media sources, including news papers, use images but because this is an image board.
>>369132
>because this is an image board.
We've had textboards before. Imageboards are actually older than textboards. There's a lot, like the one Hiro used to run which was the largest forum in the world. So, going "it's an imageboard!" doesn't mean shit since imageboards and textboards go side by side, and 4chan had textboards before. We only got rid of them relatively recently, for most of 4chan's history we've had them.
>>369134
Times change, grandpa.
Also I hope hiroshima adds a like button, like, get with the times
>>369132
It's not completely text only, OPs can have images in them
As a imageboard, /news/ is a failure.
But as a textboard, it's decent.
>>369166
As a quality poster, you're a failure.
But as a redditor, you're decent.
