/who/ is trying to rid itself of a particularly odious tripfag after he made this childish, butthurt image in response to being banned for breaking rules, but he just won't fuck off or drop his trip and now every time he posts there's a huge, thread-derailing backlash because people can't just ignore him.

Hey hiro, I know you're reading this thread. I come here to request the implementation of "uppost" and "downpost" system. This will give the users an option to see only the most thoughtful posts and not get get bothered by shitposting. The option would be called "sort by upposts". Other users will uppost the posts depending on how they think the quality of the post is. This will improve posting quality a lot. Trust me.
>>391683

You know what I never see in these threads? /b/. Doesn't anything happen on /b/ anymore? In fact, I rarely see it mentioned at all except in passing, despite it being the most used board. It's almost like a separate website.
>>392419
I think it's fair to say most people came to 4chan and started posting on /b/, but grew out of it as they matured or at least got bored
there might be some happenings, when I last was on /b/ in around 2012 the usual rule of fishing for gold in a septic tank still applied, and you could find a couple instances of anynoums delivering per day
since then it was either overrun by newfigs who don't know how to /b/ cause nobody taught them to, or everyone is just reluctant to post shit from /b/ ITT because of a hostile reaction we might have to their person
>>392419
/b/'s just porn for the most part. Not a lot of anything interesting at all anymore. It's just off topic /gif/.

When I was a /b/tard I never really grasped what people meant by cultural shift, and how /b/ has changed. Not for not being long enough, I just couldn't recall how it was before, so I saw people in 2011 saying how great it was in 2008, and me, having been here since 2007 didn't notice that much of a change.
How do people realize? The only thing i noticed is how shitposty /mu/ got.
But this is different. This is a current thread on /b/. What the fuck is this, the first three replies are "don't do it", and it takes a while for someone to say "do it faggot".
Since when is /b/ like this? it looks like a normal nsfw forum
>>392652
Somewhere between Chanology and 2010, getting gradually worse since then tbhfam.
It's nothing but a porn board right now, which is why some people suggested the creation of a /wsb/.
>>391091
>non nsfw
tripfags are really dumb
>>392652
/b/ has been a normalfag for a few years. The last time I used it was in 2012 I think? It was mostly porn, but it still had a shitton of original shit coming out of it regularly. But, now its just a normalfag den were pretty much every thread is porn and most 'oc' is just reposts, more then how it was years ago.
People who say that popularity and high posting speed is the death of 4chan actually have a good reason for saying that.
>>392673
This guy gets it, bigger the board, shittier it is, unless you pull an /a/ and make it nazi moderated, which works for a price
>>392688
the other day I went into /a/ and it did not uphold its newfag-bashing reputation. Has it ceased being that way?
I mean all across the board, but specially in OPM threads, in which it's no surprise, I guess its getting lots of new traffic
>>392656
>It's nothing but a porn board right now,
Which is wrong.
WHERES THE SANTA HATS HIRO?
>>392718
It's nothing but "pics you're not supposed to share" threads, webm porn, boipussi, and the occasional cringe and ylyl thread.
/a/ had a blast with its r/a/dio threads last night.
Kilim was great and it seems Eku is still streaming.
>>392717
Some threads just can't be controlled, so they are left for themselves.

>>>/g/52045389

>>392722
Kinda of related, how often does /b/ talk about "muh SJWs", are they even aware of their existence or they just don't give a shit unlike some other boards?
>>392732
Since everyone stopped expecting /b/ to be something the place has become practically drama-less. Go to the thread you want and do what you want, nobody cares.
The only thing /b/ gets upset about is when you ban a user for non-rule 1 reasons or delete their threads. They are pretty hard on a "do what you want" notion of freedom of speech

Steam is acting weird, logging people into someone else's account entirely and /v/ is having a total meltdown.
>>392848
that sounds bad. does the person have full control over the other account?
Steam is currently going apeshit for some reason and people are being logged into random accounts. /v/ is in chaos at the moment.
>>392851
You can access Account details giving out your possible email and Credit Card information it seems.
>>392851
>does the person have full control over the other account?
That's the fear but no one really knows for sure. I'm too scared to log in now. From what I've heard it sounds as if it switches accounts any time a user does ANYTHING. I've also heard that some people manage to draw Admin accounts which could be really disastrous.
>>392859
Check any other major gaming forum and you'll find some mention of it. None of them are losing it quite like /v/ is for some reason.
>>392725
Mods still love /a/. That r/a/dio thread was fucking great though.
>>392866
>None of them are losing it quite like /v/ is for some reason.
Must be /v/'s propensity to overreacting .
>>392874
Or perhaps it's a bit concerning that someone logged into your account can purchase a game or modify your settings.
>>392881
It is a bit worrying, true. But /v/ is taking it a bit too far I'd say.
/v/ is shitting the bed with what is going on with steam, everyone stealing information of others and credit and debit cards in danger of everyone.
>>392883
Not really, and regardless, it's part of the fun of the chaos. Remember lostboy?
>>392893
Is this happening mostly on north america/europe or its the whole world? Its not like i have much to lose but you never know
>>392899
Worldwide because people are joining in spanish and russian accounts.
>>392900
Fuck, so, let's say i bought something on steam months ago with a credit card, would the credit card get fucked or just my steam wallet?
>>392901
Not affected.
Only people who were using steam in the last 4~10 hours.
Caching fucked up.
>>392902
Do we have confirmation of this actually being what's going on? I know people have been claiming to be able to modify profiles and make purchases, but we have no confirmation of that either.

Ever since Hiro came into power, the mods have slowly but surely doing their job less and less and more poorly. I believe he might of told them to be more lax and do their job less.

The 4chan subreddit has 600 000+ subscribers.

>We cant allow nswf on /a/ because its a blue board, and we cant in spoilers because it would be shown in the start page

Its not like i wanted a purple /a/ but this is contradictory.
>>393213
The nsfw rules exist only to stop porn dumping, the site is not sfw in any way
>>392732
We get the /pol/tards trying to rile up /b/ as their personal army but it greatly varies from daytime and wekday. School is still a thing keeping most kids busy after all.
And again: /b/ is full of porn and generals but that does mean that is all there is.
>>392938
Good. Hiro has been doing god's work
>>392938
I hate you hiro, I truely do. You refuse to change any of the existing problems claiming you got "internet problems" but keep shitting up the site with new stuff regardless. No pass sale and no fucking santa hats and music.
Also that chnage SCREAMS do something about /v/ or you will have a random offtopic thread there every minute, more people click on it for an even more filled board with people coming for everything but videogames.
>>393213
>We cant allow nswf on /a/ because its a blue board, and we cant in spoilers because it would be shown in the start page
but /a/ is explicitly allowed to post porn, unlike any other board
>>393449
Are we really going to do this again? /a/ isn't allowed to post porn. /a/ is only allowed to post official lewd content for non-hentai shit. Which most of the time is ecchi, like Tsugumomo or To love-ru. Not allowing image posting of these would be stupid, since the lewd content is a core part of the series. There isn't official porn for that shit and if there is, it probably amounts to the number of fingers on my hands
>>392938
Well it's kind of a pointless change, but for what it is I guess it's good.
>>393213
Spoilers aren't shown on the front page.
>>393457
Every other board classifies "official lewd content" as porn, and results in a ban.
If a game shows an exposed nipple, and you post it on /v/, you get banned.
If an anime shows an exposed nipple, and you post it on /a/, you're golden because
>not allowing image posting of these would be stupid, since the lewd content is a core part of the series
>>393468
I don't see any of those boards actually fighting for the right to post that content either. Using /v/ as your example is just stupid as well. /tv/ would of been a better choice, because if you allowed that on /v/, it /would/ become /b/2.0 because the rule would quickly be twisted to allow actual porn
The nsfw rule is only there to stop porn dumping, but most of the other boards have incredibly immature userbases and if you give them an inch for this sort of thing and they'll take a yard and quickly make their board drown in porn as they don't really care
>>392938
I like having this option for the showned threads, and I like cross-boarding and this reall makes a difference. Maube I'll start using the front page
wait, was that option there before?
>>393473
Yes, it was.
>>393470
It's almost like mods shit on other boards when they act up but have a soft spot for /a/.
>>393475
They have a soft spot for /a/ because it's the sites main fucking purpose. It doesn't help that the main users on a lot of the other big boards is stupid underage retards who do nothing but shitpost and are incapable of anything but spouting the same memes over and over again
>>393476
>They have a soft spot for /a/ because it's the sites main fucking purpose
It is not. Hiro said 4chan's purpose is to "create culture", whatever that is.
>>393477
It is, that's what they site was made for. It doesn't fucking matter what stupid newfags want to think in their deluded offended minds. Hiros opinion on what the sites 'purpose' is means fucking nothing until he actually fucking uses the place as well. The was also a offhand comment based on his interpretation on falsehoods reported by the media
Do people in other forums dicuss site architecture, moderation, etc so much?
Do communities in other forums influence this much the decisions? Because I hear news about forum mods being draconian or batshit insane (fast eddie, the ED guy, thy xkcd guy) and then I come here where for 12 years moot basically went with the flow, occasionally lashing out when he had to much, and even then he backed off from very important decisions because people didn't like them.
Not a complaint, I like bitching about content and moderation too, but I feel like everybody (me included) talks as if they owned significant a part of 4chan, and wonder how this would hold anywhere else. It's no surprise moot sold it to Hiro, as he seems to be that kind of "carried by the flow" guy, albeit one with a business vision.
>>393480
Not everybody discuss meta subjects because they think they can change anything, only newfag idiots seriously believe that, some people just like to discuss those subjects for knowledge sake, because its interesting, and as chaotic as it may be, you can still find some legit good arguments about it around here, you don't see that happening in other forums because the community isn't as self aware as our community, and its not like they care anyway, all they care about is talking about shit without giving a fuck about the website's quality because this is what mods are for in the first place
But this isn't the thread for this and people really need to stop derailing the it everytime someone makes a comment about something, or at least to keep their shit under control, or else these threads will die
>>393480
Back when I used gameFAQs for anything but the FAQs, there was a lot of complaining and circlejerking about specific mods. Most of it was bullshit about them allowing certain discussion or disallowing some other discussion that a majority wanted to talk about on a specific board, but I never participated in it myself since I only ever went to a handful that already covered whatever I wanted to discuss.
Not sure if already covered, but apparently the front page was reorganized

Kek, i love when that happens, its always hilarious to see people fighting over "the true thread"
>>394098
>using an irrelevant meme comic to try and make an argument but failing to realise that it applies to single communities and not the branching of a website into containing multiple communities
nice
>>394332
How about this them? I kinda of tried to fix it but if its okay i will finish the edits
>>394408
They're probably just going to scream "meme" comic at you again because they don't know how to think/have only been on 4chan 2 or 3 years.
>>394413
Nah, sometimes daily reminders can completely destroy threads because of how true they are, i literally have a folder full of daily reminders in case of i finding some retard saying stupid shit, and they almost always work with calling him for his bullshit
>>394408
That's a good edit for a different argument but it's still not relevant to the point I made, what I was saying is that making new sections of a website and thus expanding its focus =/= the site turning shit due to new users, and that since the site has expanded its focus it makes no sense to make decisions as if it is focused on its original topic.
>>394413
Or maybe it just looked like someone with very little thought put into their argument was trying to use an irrelevant comic to make their argument for them rather than actually making a cohesive argument on the topic themselves, that's fully possible isn't it?
>>394417
>can completely destroy threads due to how true they are
Truly your comics are enlightening, m'good m'sir! Next time I'll make sure to remember that if the point you're trying to make with a shitty comic is irrelevant or illogical it's likely just my fault for not understanding 'the truth.'
>>394440
The site expanding to cater to more topics potentially brings new users that don't want to take the time to adapt to our culture because they think it's like every other forum, and this is especially dangerous at a time in 4chan's history where internet culture is mainstream and is chaotically being used all over the site by newfags who are creating a culture around ironic shitposting. I'm not the poster of the comic, but this is not a difficult concept to understand.
>m'good m'sir
Stop ironically memeposting like a child as if it makes you seem like you matter more on an Anonymous image board.
>>394449
And that would be a fair point if /b/ didn't exist largely as the shitting grounds for the vast majority of newfags. The implication that the addition of boards is the reason for 4chan's decline in overall quality is pants on head retarded.
>>394440
>and that since the site has expanded its focus it makes no sense to make decisions as if it is focused on its original topic.
There was never a focus expansion. A good portion of the boards were splits from /b/ to give weebposters a place to talk about nonweeb things without the inane bullshit /b/ brings. Japshit has continued to be the sites main focus and that shouldn't change. The only people who don't like that are newfags or people who get upset by it. The japshit and japculture is something that helped make the site so appealing in its old days. It should stay the main focus and the site should stay focused on being a nerdy hobbiest board steeped in japcultureshit and not become a site no different to the rest of the internet because people want to just shitpost
>>394455
You're missing the point of WHY people came to a unique place like 4chan and why they might start out at an extreme point like /b/, because it was different and attracted a certain mindset of people who could stand and work with its culture. I might not be following whatever original argument you were having with that other poster, but you have to keep this factor in mind, and understand that things have changed and there is indeed a difference between /b/ and new topical boards in terms of the new users that go to them. The former corresponding to what I mentioned above, and the latter corresponding (potentially in today's climate of internet culture and with the major broadening of the site's topical focus) to what I mentioned in >>394449 - you just have to be careful.
>>394455
>The implication that the addition of boards is the reason for 4chan's decline in overall quality is pants on head retarded.
It did, because it contributed to the sites growing population. /b/ might of been the newfag pot, but the newfags left that pot because they saw other boards with a topic they liked and then proceed to shit on them while ignoring that boards culture
>>393468
I remember an uproar on /lit/ over mods banning people for posting renaissance paintings or greeks statues containing tits. Eventually the mods got the hint.
>>394459
>this site is for Japanese shit and anyone who disagrees with me is just a newfag!
Look at the board list fucktard, the vast majority of boards have nothing to do with Japan. You can't honestly be saying boards such as /x/, /gd/ and /ic/ are for Japanese shit.
>>394440
kek, I think you confused me with the other guy you were arguing with, dude, i literally just came by and saw the comic
Guys, please, you're doing that again
>>394459
>There was never a focus expansion
>Japshit has continued to be the sites main focus
How's life in 2005?
>>394484
Good job fucking ignoring everything else that was said and continue to spouting your bullshit
It doesn't fucking matter if a boards main focus isn't japshit. The sites main existence is for japshit and its culture is full of japshit. You don't need fucking 50 fucking boards for 1 topic, the majority of the boards aren;t for japshit, because it was all concentrated into a few boards, because thats how the users like it. If the users didn't like that, the majority of the boards would of been jap boards. The sites main focus is for japshit, if you don't like that stop fucking using the site. You are just killing everything that makes the site enjoyable and making it no different to every other site on the net
Also, I can't remember what the actual names for them are, but both /ic/ and /x/ don't have fucking English names
>>394505
>Both /ic/ and /x/ don't have English names
nice one retard
>>394513
Nigger, I can't fucking remember what they stand for. But, find a fucking English word for both of them that the board stands for. A lot of boards don't have English names
>>394505
See >>394504
4chan's user base has shifted. If so much of the website are weebs why is there so much triggering when you post smug anime grills on other boards?
Maybe it's that the vast majority of users don't give a shit about anime and they get annoyed when you /a/utists shitpost your unrelated board culture on other boards because of "muh /a/ superiority." At this point you guys are almost as bad as /pol/.
>>394522
The userbase had a shift from the chanology bullshit that brought in a massive influx of newfags. Maybe there is so many people getting upset about the sites history and original culture, is because new users are trying to kick out the original users because they are little faggots who refuse to adapt to the sites culture and would rather treat the site like as if its no different to every other forum out there
>>394519
/lit/ = literature
/out/ = outside
/int/ = international
/co/ = comics and cartoons
/v/, /vp/, /vg/ = Videogames ________
/tv/ = television
/mu/ = music
/qa/ = questions and answers
/news/ = news
/pol/ = politically incorrect
/his/ = history
/sci/ = science
/tg/ = traditional games
/fit/ = fitness
/toy/ = toys
/diy/ = do it yourself
etc.
hmmm, all Japanese I guess!

Not him, but you are really exaggerating. Reaction images and people flipping shit just because they're anime despite anime reaction images being posted on most boards since forever is much different from blatant shitposting and the influence it has had directly on post quality and on how people respond to offensive posts on the site. If you think anime reaction images = shitposting, you are a fucking retard.
>why is there so much triggering when you post smug anime grills
Because they are morons that apparently haven't been on 4chan too long and just randomly want to change something insignificant. What about the /tv/, /co/, /mu/, etc. reaction images used all over the place? There is no difference. Get over it.
>>394526
And ironically /a/utists like you are trying to give the boot to oldfag non-/a/utist users of other boards by attempting to define the site with 'muh weeb culture.' You're just as bad as the newfags you hate.
>>394540
I never said anything like that, nice attempt to make me seem like the bad guy. If you come here and get upset about japshit or anime, you don't belong. If you come to any board that isn't /b/ without being a hobbiest or at least having a decent high interest in that topic, you should fuck off as well
>>394537
>Wow! Something that shows my incredibly weak argument that the names of boards are Japanese thus implying the site is Japanese-oriented is complete horseshit! Better move those goalposts quick!
>>394539
I personally don't mind anime reaction images, I was just using it as an example of how the culture of the majority of the site is quite obviously unrelated to weeb culture and in fact largely detests it.
>>394549
I honestly would not say the majority of users are flipping shit over anime images. I visit a good 4 or so boards daily other than /a/ and very rarely do I see any real chaos over it. I consider it a very retarded minority, and most of the time people ignore it.
>>394553
It's likely a more common thing on some boards than others. I've seen massive storms of shitposting happen because of it on multiple boards but I'd doubt that's the average reaction from most boards.
>>390833
Huge shitposter invasion in the Pokemon Anime Discussion Thread accurately sums up the status of /vp/'s moderation: more or less nonexistent. >>>/vp/24893922
Adding to it all is the fact that a /qa/ thread dedicated to discussing /vp/'s piss poor moderation is itself getting spammed with scat comics by one of /vp/'s own career shitposters, who is butt-mad that a /qa/ thread even exists to ask for moderation help on /vp/. >>391847
>>394688
Luckily the situation seems to have been addressed at least for now.
>>394519
>Doujin (Alt. Hentai)
That's some straight up bullshit. Doujin is literally just any fan-made comic, it doesn't even have to be pornographic.
That being said, I don't disagree with the essence of the post.
>>394823
Anime is also an abbreviation of an English word.
>>394519
That image is funny, but wrong

A shame, they only were such a big thing because we were so few back then. Or they lost their biggest autismal people to bump.
Anyway I'd gladly take a pinkwave over all this /q/ shit.
