Can something be done about these imbeciles?
I understand how tripcodes can be useful in some threads, like video game generals and people in charge of projects, but people who use them to share their opinion are cancer of the worst kind.
These people want to establish their identity on an anonymous image board. Can you not see how stupid that is?
>>369351
It's stupid for sure, but as long they do nothing against the rules, then there is no reason to do something against them
>>369351
>Can you not see how stupid that is?
No. Not really.
>>369351
>These people want to establish their identity on an anonymous image board.
And look at that, you're helping them do just that so willingly.
>>369351
Filter them idiot. A majority do it for attention, so don't give it to them.
>>369357
That rule applies to everyone already
Just use filters
>>369357
If they enforced that rule they'd have to ban 95% of people.
>>369351
Tripcodes are the best thing ever.
You can just filter them and anybody who replies to them.
Tripcodes used to be a lot more prevalent and shitposters were easier to filter.
>>369366
Too bad you can't get rid of people just because they have different ideas from you
>>369366
>the whole idea of trips (or any form of registration) conflicts with the whole idea of an anonymous image board.
So what?
>>369366
Except nothing will come of it, like the millions of times people have complained about tripfags in the past.
All you're doing is giving them attention. If you're really incapable of ignoring something you don't like, then stop coming on 4chan until you've grown up.
>>369366
It may interest you to learn that 4chan is not an anonymous imageboard and has never been; it's an imageboard with the option of anonymity.
>>369364
>using the tripfag filter to make them all look anonymous
No thanks. I'd rather know that they're using tripcodes so I can confirm they're idiots.
>filter them out as you see them
That doesn't stop them from appearing, it just slows down the rate.
It's also worth noting the other reason tripfags are cancer is because of the circlejerks they create. You could enter a thread to discuss something relative to the main subject, only to be flushed out by a horde of idiots engaged in something completely different, possibly even RPing, and if you question that, shitfest ensues.
Just because you filter them doesn't mean others will.
>>369375
Report them for off-topic or roleplaying, unless you're in /b/, in which case you're just shit out of luck and should think about migrating to a more usable board such as /trash/.
>>369366
Forced anon was removed for a reason, anon.
>>369379
>implying reporting ever works unless it's illegal content
>>369380
>So fuck off back to reddit.
Can't even give a decent reply? Figures
>>369375
You can filter recursively so you don't have to see any of their replies period. They are literally invisible to you.
>>369370
You have it in reverse. No registration is needed and everyone is anonymous, but you have the option to adopt a tripcode
>>369382
Well, it depends if the board has any mods, but unless you pick an abandoned board try spamming porn and see what happens.
>>369366
So you're asking to sanction someone not for violating the rules, but because they don't use the site exactly the same way you do? Do you realize how nutty that is? It's like those entitled college kids who demand someone be punished for "triggering" them. It's not at all what 4chan stands for, and if you think it should be, then perhaps you need to be shown the door.
Quick reminder.
>>369385
But then he'd be missing out on all that insightful conversation he hates seeing.
>>369365
The board quality would drastically increase, though.
>>369392
On top of being dead, sure.
Actually not that bad of an idea, some of my favorite boards are low-population and equally slow.
>>369387
Timely reminder of just how idiotic this tripfag is.
>>369398
Just think, if he didn't have his tripcode you might have mistaken him for a passing user.
>>369398
Interesting definition of "idiotic"
>>369398
He's right though.
>>369399
Yeah, it is just because he is a tripfag that you actually notice how stupid he is when many anons are no better
>>369410
>agreeing means I'm samefag.
Fuck. You.
>>369392
This very thread wouldn't exist at all, for instance
>>369426
Yeah, that's how much intelligent anti-tripfags are
>>369398
He and The Nicest Guy are the worst new trips on /a/ right now.
>>369436
>lecturing people on intelligence
>how much intelligent
>how
>much
>intelligent
Too ashamed to turn your trip on, idiot? I suppose you've embarrassed yourself enough.
>>369442
You are the one embarrassing yourself by claiming everyone is the same guy.
English is not my first language anyway
>>369351
>but as long they do nothing against the rules,
Tripfagging should be against the rules because no one uses it correctly. People get banned for shitposting like a retard because they aren't using the post function correctly, which is to communicate with people and 4chan is an 18 board, meaning you should be communicating as though you were older than a child. Misusing the secure tripcode and name field function ought follow the same bannable offence.
Mods/jannies only allow it because they are the exact sort of fucking idiots who would use a secure trip and many likely do. Legitimate anons don't have an interest in becoming a hotpocketeer.
>>369455
>Legitimate anons don't have an interest in becoming a hotpocketeer.
why would you not want to replace retarded staff if you didn't like how they were doing things
>>369455
With this line of logic, you should ban everyone misusing greentext or spoilers as well, but what would be the point of banning people for such reasons other than being an asshole? You are not being helpful to the site quality, you are just being a dick
>>369458
Do you at least know 4chan is not about the poster, but the post quality and discussion? It doesn't matter who you are, where you are from etc. on a anonymous imageboard, so why are you trying to argue about identity?
>>369455
>4chan is an 18 board, meaning you should be communicating as though you were older than a child
No, it means that you can't post if you aren't a child due to content that is inappropriate for them. It does not mean you can't talk like a child
>>369466
Because attaching a name to your post has always made the post about the name instead of the post. This is true for all forums and 4chan as well. Its something you do subconsciously and people come here to fucking avoid that shit
>>369458
>Can't say I'm surprised.
>CAN'T SAY I'M SURPRISED
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>CAN'T SAY I'M SURPRISED
And you're making fun of HIS English. Wow.
>>369472
You are free to attach a name and on your posts, but those would be the obvious consequences, since people are unable to judge your posts while using a name for some reason
>>369473
What's the problem? That's correct.
Mexican idiots shouldn't lecture english people on the english language.
>>369473
Also samefagging and referring to yourself in the third person. Holy shit you're mentally ill.
>>369357
This thread violates that rule
>>369351
Hello there user!
I see you have a complaint about Trip-fagging on 4chan!
Although the majority of the 4chan culture believes that Anonymity is key, there are at times need for Non-Anonymity. We see this in built in site features such as the ID, and the Country Flags. The other way is to insert a name into the "Name" box, and therefore you will have a "Trip". However, due to the nature of 4chan, you will often be looked down upon for calling attention to yourself, especially when it isn't needed. Remember, names are only important and relevant if they are on topic, and board specific.
If you are a user who decides to use the name for intents that fall relevent to having one, and you are worried about people impersonating you, please put a space after your name then #[customword] here. That is known as a tripcode. And you will be known as a "Tripfag" by a majority of the Anonymous 4chan community. Putting a second hashtag after the first results in a Secure Tripcode, but those are for jerks.
As per persons utilizing tripcodes, names, or people you simply do not like, there is a feature called "Filter and Hide"
In your settings, located in the bottom right hand of the screen, click the third option, Filtering and Hiding. Click the first box "post hiding" and then edit, add, and switch the option box to tripcode or name or both.
That way, whenever that particular user posts something you'll never see it.
I hope this has been helpful!
Have an excellent day!
https://youtu.be/-i7Hj1fAYN4
Tripfags are definitely cancer, but not sure what can be done to prevent them from using them pointlessly.
>>369399
This, be glad he is a tripfag. Just filter and move on. Giving attention grows them up
>>369375
filtering as in hiding their posts entirely, dumbshit
Anyways, they're not violating any rules or even going against guidelines. The anonymous nature of 4chan was something that came about organically, otherwise we wouldn't even have name fields.
>>369509
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgHNtzxO0y8
If everyone managed to just ignore/filter tripfags they wouldn't even exist because no one would pay attention to them.
Sadly every thread is still filled with people who give them attention by telling them to take off their trip or posting a screencap of one of their posts or some other dumb reply they've seen about a million times. This is the dumbest thing you can do. The whole reason they have a trip is for attention.
Just fucking filter them recursively.
>LE FUG LE DRIBFAGS XDXD
>>369583
Thanks for the bump senpai.
>>369455
Anonymity is a means to an end, not an end in itself. It gives us the option of saying what we believe is right without fear that it will be held against us at a later date.
Since I have ceased to give a fuck what others think of me, I have no need to avail myself of that protection, and instead I find the ability to identify my own posts and for others to do so likewise in a thread are useful benefits.
IDs would serve the same purpose, but since /a/ does not have IDs, I use a tripcode instead.
If you don't like it, you can request that hiroshimoot remove tripcodes from the board like was done with /b/. Taking your rage out on me accomplishes absolutely nothing.
>>369621
You could not be more wrong.
On the surface it appears that anonymous posting is only a personal choice, and that I post anonymously only because I don't want to be identified.
But anyone who has been here longer than a few years surely knows that there is another aspect to it entirely.
When everyone is anonymous, the conversations are more enjoyable because we don't have to put up with all the same social problems you have on any other forum.
So in this aspect, we post anonymously to benefit other users as well.
When you don't reciprocate it just makes you an asshole, and you drag into the thread with you all the same baggage that a lot of us stopped using normal forums to get away from in the first place.
So it's not about _you_, I don't give a fuck if you care what people think about you or not. If you really can't see that anonymous posting changes things for the better than you are cancer here, period.
>>369629
>you drag into the thread with you all the same baggage that a lot of us stopped using normal forums to get away from in the first place.
All the "normal forums" I ever used were characterized chiefly by how immensely boring they were and I occasionally enjoy seeing an ancient trip around because it conjures up memories of years past.
>>369633
and I wonder how much more prone to taking that ancient users words at face value you are than any other user whenever he decides to stroll into a thread.
>>369621
It sucks how those two were only remotely threatening in the first episode they appeared in and then after that they just became comic relief.
https://youtu.be/g3OTgTyujtE
>>369664
>every thought moot ever had is pure gold
>>369664
What a newfag.
>>369579
Can't you just try to not care about if they have a tripcode and treat them like regular anons? That's what I do anyway, I never cared about tripcodes unless they produced some OC
>>369765
Sounds like they have it in reverse too
Nothing against tripfriends, but it doesn't make sense saying that being anonymous an option when actually, making an identity here is what really is optional
>>370386
A person has the option to post without a name and they also have the option to post with a name. They're both options.
>>370391
Not him, but the default usually makes a huge fucking difference.
>>370391
They aren't both options. One of them is set to default, as such, the website is anon posting with having a name optional. The difference is massive
>>370382
>>370382
I mean I don't care about trips either, that's why I usually ignore them. If someone is just blatantly shitposting/trolling with a trip I'll filter them though.
My problem with trips is more that the threat can often derail into an argument that revolvles around someone using a tripcode.
>>369351
>Can something be done about these imbeciles?
You filter them out or anonymize them and realize they're the same brand of idiot, just with a different label.
>>370643
>and realize they're the same brand of idiot, just with a different label
I'm pretty sure people who get upset at tripfags aren't just thinking about the immediate situation.
It's a reaction more like long-term self moderation and a constant battle to weed out potentially harmful things that if not nipped in the bud might grow to a bigger problem.
Another part of it is what the purpose is. There has apparently never been an understanding between people who use trips and people who dislike them, about why they do it (or at least that's what tripfags want you to think).
Personally I think it's because we all really do understand why they do it, but all of them are in denial and will tell you they only do it to "find their posts easier" or some bullshit like that.
I've told tripfags before that I wouldn't have half as many problems with them if they'd just fucking admit that they do it because they want to be remembered. Because at least if they admit it then maybe they understand the value of anonymous posting and just feel like being a trip faggot anyway.
But when they're in denial about it and think "it's no big deal you can just filter me" I have to question if they even understand the reasons we value anonymity at all, and that's what kind of pisses me off about them.
>>369351
You fail at 4chan
You are supposed to not care about someone's identity, only about the contents of their post
In your effort to hate tripfags more than anything you forget that for every stupid tripfag comment there's 10 equally stupid anonymous comments.
If you get angry only at tripfags, you are retarded.
>>370660
Not him, but I feel I should point out that you're kind of changing the topic.
Nobody is talking about the quality of tripfag posts, it's merely an issue of their existence regardless of what they're posting.
>>370663
ok I just realized the OP does seem to talk about the quality.
Whatever. The real problem anyway has nothing to do with any specific tripfags or what they post.
>>370663
The point is: you shouldn't care. Your only concern is whetehr a post breaks the rules or not.
If you are getting angry in particular because a post has an identity attached to it, you dont' understand what 4chan is about.
>>370665
>The point is: you shouldn't care. Your only concern is whetehr a post breaks the rules or not.
and I suppose you apply this logic to everything equally?
Anyone who gets upset at anything on 4chan doesn't understand what it's about?
>>370667
Thanks captain obvious. That still doesn't mean you're not a piece of shit for using it.
>>370641
> can often derail into an argument
Started and fuelled by the anons that get butthurt because "OMG, he uses a tripcode. Burn the evil witch!!!!!!"
>>370668
People who get angry at stuff in general are dumb.
You can dislike something and you can make noise if you think it's a good solution, but going around acting like and idiot yourself - and most times thinking you can break the rules to do so - just because it upset you is idiotic.
The rules apply to all. You are not allowed to throw a stone just because you are free of sin, so to speak.
>>370667
There is still a fucking massive difference, retard.
>anon posting with the option to have a identity
>optional either anon or identity
>identity with optional anon
These three differnt things have actual different meanings. 4chan is the first one. When it started out, it was the second, but anon culture grew and its now the first one.
>>370673
Anons normally get butthurt because tripfags are fucking attention whores and are the worst for outright refusing to admit they are wrong and will go to retarded lengths to ensure they aren't. Most people wouldn't have a problem with tripfags if they stopped pretending they don't use it because they want attention and to be remembered
>>370673
So why don't you explain why anyone who voices their opinion about not liking something doesn't understand what 4chan is about like you said.
What do you think 4chan is about anon?
They should allow you the option to force anonymity when you create a thread.
>>370675
A lot of anons "are fucking attention whores" and everything else you wrote. I have seen so many "debates" on this board that made my head hurt and had no trips involved in them.
Banning tripcodes may stop a few users from acting retarded but the overall quality won't improve.
You'll just be triggered by completely anonymous posts then and won't have something tangible to vent your anger at. Doesn't sound so fun, does it?
>>369375
>I'd rather know that they're using tripcodes so I can confirm they're idiots.
And this is why people who bitch about tripcodes have the biggest victim complex.
>>370682
>A lot of anons "are fucking attention whores"
No they aren't, if they were they'd jam a fucking name on their post
Yes. fucking anons do the same. But, tripfags are the fucking worst for it and will ALWAYS refuse to admit they are fucking wrong. Tripfags are almost always fucking MALbabbies as well
This isn't out posting quality, its about shutting out retards for being retarded
>Banning tripcodes
I don't think anyone has said this. There is nothing wrong when with tripfags who are actually using them correctly. Aka, actually fucking either contributing something or the trip has something to do with the thread
>>370680
This.
It would also be pretty nice to be able to kick or even maybe ban certain posters from your thread.
>>370694
>Aka, actually fucking either contributing something or the trip has something to do with the thread
I can count the time that has happened in the history of 4chan on my dick.
>>370675
Optional means that something is not a requirement, that you have the option to do it. This semantics argument literally only exists in your head. The mod was never trying to imply anything like that.
>>370694
>There is nothing wrong when with tripfags who are actually using them correctly.
What do you mean using them correctly? How does one use a trip incorrectly? Where was the proper usage of tripcodes defined? Can you give me a moot post, an admin/mod post, the rule that defines it or the FAQ line that clarifies it? Maybe some screencap of the bans list where it shows a person being banned for incorrect trip usage? Or an interview with moot or Hiro which states how trips should be used? I don't want to accidentally use my trip incorrectly so please educate me.
>>370711
Typical tripfag. You know exactly what he means by proper usage.
So why don't you stop being passive aggressive and just say that you disagree with the community defining what proper usage is and that you think the only thing worth talking about is what the rules are.
Although I'm pretty sure that's just a convenient position you're falling back on for these types of issues because the rules just so happen to be on your side.
and by the way, since you might still deny that you know what he's talking about, the community most certainly has defined what it wants proper tripcode usage to be. Even the anons that argue in favor of tripfagging still mostly agree that using it all the time is not a good idea, and that proper usage is a case by case basis usually depending on delivery of some content.
>>370738
>You know exactly what he means by proper usage
Stopped reading there. This is a shitpost.
>>370738
I object to calling tripfagging incorrect usage of tripcodes.
The FAQ states that you can use a trip to maintain your identity. moot said that tripfags are an important part of the site's dynamics. Hiro said if you don't like it don't use it. There are screencaps of mods saying that anonymous posting is optional and that there's nothing wrong with tripfagging. In the entire history of this site, literally no one has ever been banned, warned, or had their post deleted because they were tripfagging. No one has ever stated in any kind of official capacity that trips should only be used when "necessary".
The opinions of the admins, mods, and what is directly stated in the rules/FAQ trump widely held opinions. Just because you (and many others) don't like it doesn't mean it's incorrect usage.
>>370409
Yes, and you have the OPTION to post using the default settings. You also have the OPTION to NOT post with the default settings.
>>370775
This
Now, can we just end this thread already? Hating on trips never made sense and it's just a meme now
>>370775
>>370850
>Now, can we just end this thread already?
not really because he literally just repeated the exact same thing he's said in about 5 other posts and completely ignored everything I said. Not that I would expect anything different from a tripfag.
He'll just repeat that same exact thing ad nauseum just because he wants to have the last word, even if it has nothing to do with what we're talking about.
My post was all about the communities adopted notion of acceptable use for tripcodes. He didn't mention the community at all.
>>370876
>My post was all about the communities adopted notion of acceptable use for tripcodes.
And my post was all about telling you that just because a lot of you believe something doesn't make your belief correct.
>>370927
Right I already covered that, I'd appreciate it if you'd actually read the posts you respond to
what I said:
>So why don't you stop being passive aggressive and just say that you disagree with the community defining what proper usage is and that you think the only thing worth talking about is what the rules are.
>>369455
>because no one uses it correctly
As per the FAQ:
>Can I register a username?
>No user registration process is available. If you're worried about somebody impersonating you, consider using a tripcode to help validate your identity.
>How do I use a "tripcode"?
>Tripcodes can help verify a user's identity to others, and are a type of pseudo-registration. To use a normal tripcode, place a hash mark ("#") followed by a word or short phrase after what you've entered into the [Name] field (ex. "User#password"). Upon submission, the server will generate the hash unique to that particular word or phrase. The previous example would display "User !ozOtJW9BFA" after being posted.
In accordance with this, people using a tripcode to identify themselves are de facto using it correctly. Regardless of how that makes you feel.
>>371027
>just say that you disagree with the community defining what proper usage is and that you think the only thing worth talking about is what the rules are.
But that's literally what I did?
>>370775
>The opinions of the admins, mods, and what is directly stated in the rules/FAQ trump widely held opinions. Just because you (and many others) don't like it doesn't mean it's incorrect usage.
>>370927
>And my post was all about telling you that just because a lot of you believe something doesn't make your belief correct.
Do I have to repeat myself again? Just because you and a lot of other people ("the community") believe tripfags use tripcodes incorrectly doesn't make your belief correct. Especially not when it's directly contradicted by people who own, run, and manage the site.
>>371038
I see the FAQ was already brought up. In any case, people coercing the site to follow their ideals goes against the purpose of the site and only enables the idea that if enough people don't like something they can force it out if they complain loud enough. This is not Tumblr, this is not Reddit, if some part of the site that falls in line within the rules offends you then tough. Filter/hide/ignore the shit you don't like rather than turn the site into your personal safe space.
>>371049
jesus christ you're an idiot.
Why is arguing with tripfags like talking to a doorknob?
>>370711
Good job literally ignoring the part after I said after that. There is no fucking rules on it, because the community fucking defined it. How is this so hard for tripfags to understand, but literally every anon who doesn't use a trip can? We could even bring up the notion that people come here to avoid the psychology that comes with the name bullshit, but thats not the point right now. The point is, you're a fucking retard. The majority of anons decided that tripfagging is retarded and shouldn't be used UNLESS you are contributing or your trip has importance to the thread. What is contributing something? Fucking easy, making vectors/stitches of current airing shit, or just in general shitting out a constant stream of OC and anons what to easy find it in the archive. What about when your trip has importance to a thread? Even fucking easier. It's when you fucking matter in the thread. So, if you the translator of the series, your fucking trip has importance in a thread to that series, in the sad panda thread Max Joe has importance there. This is simple shit
There isn't any fucking rules on this because admins don't care, but anons do. The community doesn't want it, because trips bring nothing to the table, are fucking annoying and cause drama. There is no 'buts' to this shit, its what the community wants and is no different to /a/ saying don't fucking post shit like Naruto or RWBY
Most people wouldn't have such problems anyway, if the majority of you guys weren't actual newfags, fucking retarded as hell, always refuse to admit you are wrong and finally, stopped giving stupid reasons like 'i want to track my posts' and just fucking admit you want to be the next big thing and want attention. You shouldn't be keeping track of old posts on 4chan anyway, it goes against how its supposed to run
>>371248
>The majority of anons decided that tripfagging is retarded and shouldn't be used UNLESS you are contributing or your trip has importance to the thread.
There is nothing wrong with having that opinion. There is nothing wrong with "boycotting" tripfags, intentionally ignoring their posts and not replying to them, not because of the content on their post, but solely because of the fact that they post with a trip. There is nothing wrong with anonymizing them. There is nothing wrong with filtering them. There is nothing wrong with replying "kill yourself tripfag" to them. Feel free to be mean and bully tripfags as much as you want, no one is going to or even wants to stop you.
But that doesn't mean you get to redefine what the correct usage of tripcodes is. Not when your opinion on the matter is in direct contradiction with the statements made by the people who own and run the site.
I've never seen a more stupid thing to argue about
Clearly the mods are fine with the way trips are being used and they've been fine with it for years, most anons are fine with it too based on the fact that they gladly respond to trips
stop being whiny bitches, this isn't /q/
>>371337
Not him but holy fuck you're autistic
Just fucking call it "polite usage" then instead of "correct usage" who fucking cares.
You knew what everyone was trying to tell you like 10 posts back, but you just couldn't resist pulling out your little tripfag handbook of techniques to subvert discussions you don't like could you?
>>371347
You're just falling for his strawman.
Literally nobody is dumb enough to think tripfagging is a bannable offense. We all know the rules are on his side, and it's even been said explicitly a few times.
He just keeps replying to people with inappropriate responses like "what you're saying is wrong because tripfagging is allowed" to make everyone he disagrees with look like an idiot.

Even if you could remove the option to use a tripcode on 4chan people sould still find a way to make themselves into special snowflakes. only way it could feasibly work is if you made moderators tighten things up.
best option is to just ignore their posts.
>>369351
Tripfags always existed, /vg/-tier generals not so much.
Ban generals.
The best idea to curb this is to give OPs the option to disable tripcoding for their threads. I wish this idea has garnered more support though.
>>372938
that's a really good idea
>>373027
Hiding them is just closing your eyes and not fixing the problem.
Unless you got everyone to ignore them which is never going to happen.
Am I the only one who thinks avatarfags are more cancerous than tripfags? I'm surprised nobody ever dropped a mention on them on the entire board. I know they're already taken care of from the rules, but that doesn't stop them shitposting in the occasional obscure general and such.
>>373027
Although it doesn't necessarily stop shitposting in general. I believe that sort of idea is better since people will not shitpost when a tripfag happens to appear in the thread.
>>373041
Meant to specify shitpost at or complain about the tripfag when they appear, so increasing chances of staying on topic even if it's marginal.
>>373038
They get taken care of in the boards I browse the most, but I agree they are just as annoying as tripfags.
>>369351
i recall one of the first 4chan extensions being a regex filter to solve the problem of users dealing with spammers on the boards they browsed. ideas like that evolved into full fledged extensions like 4chan x and 4chan's official extension. although they were designed by different people, these were extensions that offered many extra useful features other than filtering even after captcha was implemented and wiped out spammers.
what i'm saying is deal with it the same way everyone else has in the past and filter them.

/qa/ is not /q/ you fucking retard
fuck off back to >>>/r/eddit with your whiny shitposting
>>369351
You should be thankful.
You can add their trip to your filter list.
You can't do that with a toxic anon.
As you start filtering tripfags you'll come to find that plenty of them are actually kinda good. It's only your confirmation bias seeing them as bad.
>>375884
What actually is /qa/ for then?
>>375886
It was created by moot when he was leaving and wanted to have a Q&A session but didn't want to do it on any particular board. Then once he left, the people who were temporary in charge probably didn't feel like deleting the last board he ever made since it would feel kinda disrespectful, so they just left it to remain a pointless, directionless board (like .e.g /r9k/, or [s4s]).
Outside of admin Q&As its a completely pointless board.
>>375890
Fuck off you retarded weeaboo avatarfag, we fucking hate you
>>375904
Oh, don't get me wrong, [s4s] is objectively one of the top five boards on this site.
>>375919
You really are a complete idiot.
>>369543
Underrated post.
>>377359
You really are a Redditor
>>371442
Yotsuba& isn't an anime.
>>377612
Just giving you the heads up, /qa/ is becoming increasingly hostile to people accusing people of being redditors, tumblrinas, Gaia Online posters, Facebook users, F-Listers, or anything else of that nature. Attack people on the content of their argument and not on your perceived notion of where they came from.
>>377639
>Gaia Online posters
I prefer the term "Gais".
I apologize.
>>371697
Reminder that he is unironically Jewish.
>the "anonymity is always necessary" meme
posting with an unneccessary trip to trigger all the fuccbois in this ITT thread
>>370705
this is genius, salting the triphashes would get rid of all tripcancer
if you're a good trip-poster, people will like you, if not, they'll impersonate you and troll with your trip

4chan doesn't seem to appreciate unicode characters too much. Oh well.
>>369351
derp commander is a fucking retarded kid and deserves a permaban.
99% of dedicated trip users use their trip simply to irritate you.
Filter/ignore them, mate.
>>379041
99% of tripfags have lame excuses to reassure themselves that they're doing it for literally any other reason than garnering attention.
Why does somebody using a name make you autists so mad? Do you just have an irrational grudge towards tripfags because one of them blew you the fuck out in an argument or something?
I mean, you fags realize that there are ways to make everybody be displayed as "Anonymous," right? No, this is /qa/, of course you don't.
>>379813
You're obviously new and haven't yet learned the real value of anonymous discussions.
Give it a few years.
>I mean, you fags realize that there are ways to make everybody be displayed as "Anonymous," right?
The reason this is an unacceptable solution has also been explained dozens of times on every board before.
>>369351
I think not having tripcodes available on the vast majority of boards would be fantastic. Banning them outright and letting some thread-specific tripcodes exist for OPs dumping something would be even better.
>>369351
>These people want to establish their identity on an anonymous image board.
But people establishing identities on 4chan is as old as the site itself. Features and other aspects of the site aren't going to be removed just because you're a hypersensitive tumblrfaggot who can't ignore things that make him irrationally upset. Sorry, babby.

If those are the cards you choose to play, so be it.

4chan started with people from forum shit, its only natural they tripfag. Overtime, however, a lot of them stopped doing it and embraced anon culture
>>369366
The idea of "no registration" refers to not being obligated to fork over personal information, such as your email, and not being obligated to manage a profile. A tripcode isn't registration.
4chan is a website where people can post their opinions with the OPTION of anonymity. There's nothing stopping you from posting personal information or building an identity. 4chan was never solely based on anonymity, anonymity was simply a facet inherited from Japanese imageboard software, just like tripcodes were a facet inherited from Japanese imageboard software.
If you think that having thin skin and trying to mold 4chan into what YOU want it to be is going to result in anything other than frustration on your end, you're sorely mistaken.
>>369398
But he's right.
Seriously man, the fact that you're more concerned with his identity than the content of his post just shows that YOU'RE the one who uses the site "incorrectly."
