I just have to fucking vent.
I am so fucking sick and tired of this.
I am sick of the retarded shitposting (not the funny shitposting, but the shitposting done by brain dead imbeciles who are too stupid to realize they are shitposting), I am sick of the /pol/-threads and I am sick of mods deleting good threads (I remember a funny inorganic vs organic chemistry thread a few weeks ago that got deleted spontaneously for no reason).
IS THERE NOTHING WE CAN FUCKING DO ABOUT THIS CRAP?

>shitposting done by brain dead imbeciles who are too stupid to realize they are shitposting

If only high-quality people wanted to waste their lives putting high-effort posts on an anonymous image board! The target audience for 4chan are children and degenerates, and nothing is going to change that.

That's not entirely true. It's just that the fucking mods seem to be actively promoting the state of the board with their decision to delete cool threads while doing nothing about the 10000 /pol/ threads for example.

>cool threads

Are you referring to the junior high homework help, or the em-drive fandom, or the "is [established science] a meme???" threads, or 0.999...? What are these "cool threads" that would lead to /sci/ being good, if only there were more of them?
>>
>/pol/ threads
Lol wut? I unintentionally took a break from /sci/ for /pol/. To be fair, /pol/ is more Trump-talk and current events in America than actual political topics. Every board gets off topic once in a while.

It seems /pol/ can't keep their bantz to one board.

/sci/ was very good back in the old days. But the mods banned all the good posters and eventually retards took over.
Dare speak out how the scientific method is incompatible with religion? You're banned.
Post pseudo-scientific shit (like flat Earth or creationist theories)? Your thread isn't even deleted.

Why can't mods change the rules so that at the very least some pseudo-science shitposting (such as flat Earth theories) wouldn't be allowed?
Look at other science forums on the Internet - they're thriving because they have stricter rules than /sci/. Religious shitposting and other pseudoscience isn't allowed over these forums, while stating how certain pseudo-sciences (including religion) are incompatible with science is perfectly valid. The result is serious discussion and no braindead morons and religionfags crusading their idiotic doctrines.

>>
>>7968017
Because meme spouting and r9k/pol shit make many posters to avoid this board.

There are many containment boards for low quality shitposting, you know?
>>
>>7968037
Yes. /sci/ is one of them. It's where flat earthers, anti-vaxxers, and other garbage go when their tulpas tell them that smoking doesn't cause cancer.
>>
>>7968020
I wish EK came back.

>>
>>7968061
It should be, but as I said in the OP, mods seem to deliberately promote the current state.
>>
>>7968061
It's all the same people. /sci/ is just one click away for /pol/ neo-Nazis who want to spread their ideology, mentally ill /x/ users, and /b/tards who mistakenly think they can ruin something good by filling /sci/ with shit. The userbase is all the same, so it's silly to expect the users themselves to magically be different.
>>
>>7968065
There's a serious lack of communication with the mods on this site. When the mod that communicates the most with the userbase is fucking swaglord of all people, there is definitely something wrong.

I share your feeling bro; we now see posts that should rather belong to /pol than here. IQ tests and racial differences, vaccine paranoia, eugenics, and other shitposts......for god sake, it's all information manipulation, bad population samples, flawed science, pseudo science...Yet you can't really argue against these people because their reasoning has deep roots in paranoia/hatred....I agree, there should be something we can do about it....

If you can cite a single piece of scientific literature that supports the existence of these """""evolutionary differences""""" as a causal factor for any of the following: crime rate, socioeconomic status, IQ; I will retract my argument. In fact, if you can even find any article that proves an exclusive genetic similarity between geographically disconnected members of the same race, I will admit defeat.

Until either of these things exist, it's literally science fiction.

Welcome to 4chan.

No seriously, it is like this on every board in some form or another. It has literally always been like this in the 13 years I've been on 4chan. the only place that seems to be safe is in those Homegrowmen gardening/farming threads on >>>/out/: >>>/out/719608

Which have been pretty based since they started a few years ago on /ck/ and /diy/, before /out/ existed. Only a few times have there been problems, but mostly it is smooth sailing. >>>/diy/ has some fantastic /ohm/ threads too. >>>/diy/961059

/sci/ really doesn't seem to have its own sub-culture in the manner those two boards have.

/sci/ like >>>/x/ started out great, fyi. But, very quickly fell into decay once /popsci/ and CS majors without jobs moved in.

This.

A discussion on racial differences isn't inherently /pol/ and spamming 'le ebil nazis' in an effort to shut down conversation and save your delicate feelings hurts /sci/ far more.
>>
First they came for the loony conspiracy theory threads (flat earth, smoking, climate change denial, anti-GMO) and I said nothing because those threads are shit.

Then they came for the homework threads and I said nothing because they are shit.

Then the came for the puzzle threads and I said nothing because they are shit.

Then they came for the /pol/ race IQ threads and I said nothing because they are shit.

Then the came for the other IQ threads and I said nothing because they are shit.

Then the board was empty except for a meta thread complaining about the quality of /sci/.
