At least 50% is pure shitposting
ThinkPad General
Do we really need generals just for ThinkPads? Turns out not really since it's also mostly off-topic shitposting.
Daily carry
How the fuck is this even /g/ related?! Just because they also carry around smartphones?
This should be in /out/ if anywhere.
What I'm really trying to tell you is a super easy way to shipost about anything on any board you want.

This is how generals (and often how general-like threads) work.
Generals are nothing but cancer, and because they hardly ever get deleted, it makes the userbase feel invincible, and insufferable, while posting in them.
Generals naturally become communities where the regulars talk about what they want. There is no "solution" to this apart from banning generals.
Of course, the other option is for you to scroll past or hide the thread and stop being a huge fucking baby.
And that's the way we like it, OP.
Stop trying to ruin the fun.

The Daily Programming Thread is only shitposting because of the autistic retards that fight over the OP image, create new threads before the old one falls off the board, and incite discussions on armchair economics or politics, usually as a result of "GPL" being mentioned, or some tripfag blogging.
ThinkPad Generals are more about business laptops in general nowadays, and probably only retained the name for the sake of a meme or to make it easier to find for those using scripts.
Every other general is pure garbage and doesn't belong on /g/.

Negative numbers are a meme desu senpai.
>>401187
Again, autistic retards.
It's probably the same dumbass that insists people do his class homework to average numbers in a list.
Don't ban a topic just because it's filled with shitposters. Ban the shitposters and treat the topic as a honeypot to capture shitposters.
People who shitpost in DPT are likely to shitpost elsewhere. Take 'em out.

Right.
Watch Threads: that's much more /fa/ than /g/.
Deaktop thread: why not on /w/, /wg/?
Is /g/ a containment board for shitty generals?

Or better yet, stop complaining about threads you don't even post in.
I used to treat /dpt/ seriously.
As months passed, the mods ignored my reports of anime, trap and off-topic posters.
Now, I have become part of the shitposters.
>>401120
in general it's more than 50%
why don't you just filter out the generals so you never have to see any of the shitposts? and then just stick to the on-topic threads.
