>>- Please avoid making threads in “general” or “template” formats. Avoid chaining threads, copy-pasting OPs, backlinks, and the like.
Why? What purpose does enforcing this restriction serve? We don't currently have an "Anime General" board, like we do for /vg/ - Video Game Generals. If we had an /ag/ board we'd be MORE than happy to post there. If Video Games can have their own general board, Anime should too.
>>- Avoid redirecting all discussion of a series to a single thread. Users are free to discuss similar content in separate threads as long as threads are not being spammed.
While understandable regarding the point about disccusing similar content in separate threads, how is this okay when we're not allowed to make "general" threads, or chaining threads? Does this mean its okay to have entire pages of Sup Forums dedicated with separate threads on one single anime, as long as each thread is unique in some way? What separates this from spamming? Wouldn't it be better to have just one thread with multiple discussions, instead of dozens taking up space?
>>- As commonly recurring threads tend to suffer from degradation of quality over time, posts inside such threads may be held to higher standards in terms of rules 6 (Quality of Posts) and 10 (Spamming/Excessive Reposting).
I can't argue much with this point. It gets really old really fast especially, for example, in the DB Super threads where someone posts "Reminder that Caulifla stinks", with an image of her exiting SSJ form that makes it look like she has stink lines emanating from her. It's a meme, sure, but it contributes nothing.
- Threads in Sup Forums should be primarily based on anime/manga discussion. Consider using either or for image sharing threads, and or for generals which have long since exhausted all fresh discussion.
Agreed. Drawthreads for example should go in /i/, or whichever relevant board pending the theme. I disagree with /bant/ and /trash however. For Aniome, we really need an Anime General board.
>- Discussion should be centered on series and characters, not the posters or communities that discuss said series and characters.
More or less agree on this. I think its fine to mention a particular Youtuber, for example, in a post when referencing something they said, however entire threads should not be made about them in relation to an anime or manga they are discussing.
>- Aim for original discussion or content, both when creating OPs and posting inside threads, and allow threads to die naturally.
It's hard to always be original. Once one person has made a thread on a topic, any subsequent thread is no longer "original". This is also a problem for posters who were never part of a thread in the past, and therefore don't know that a particular topic may have already been covered. Duplicate threads are bound to happen. There is no way to control that.

>- Request threads belong on or and “spoonfeeding” is not encouraged as that degrades the point/validity of using those other boards. Lurk and learn, rather than demand chores from the board.
While I agree to some extent, it's important to understand that if you're searching for Sup Forums related sources, Sup Forums is your absolute best bet to receive information. The majority of times people will even go to /r/ or /wsr/, is if they themselves have a request. I believe that if a person makes a post in an Sup Forums thread with some claim or a supposed "spoiler" or leak, other posters should have the right to request that poster to provide a source, instead of being sent to /r/ or /wsr/.
- Threads which are Sup Forums related but have no clear alternative forms (such as buyfag/drawfag) are allowed as long as they follow these.
Honestly, shouldn't these threads belong more on boards like /toy/? If Sup Forums, as mentioned in a prior point, is meant primarily for anime/manga discussion, then figures are mere material objects that don't contribute to the discussion of the anime or the manga. The ONLY time I can think of where this is okay, is if a figure spoils a plot element before it has been shown in the anime/manga.
What do you think, Sup Forums? I'd love to know everyone's opinions.

Why, this would improve threads about popular topics by providing easy access to info.

Start banning OP's that bait spoonfeeders by posting cropped porn and the anti-spoonfeeders who take the opportunity to completely derail threads with their shit.

Public ban for OP when?

Rules won't work since it means Mods actually have to do some work all the time. Might seem promising for the next few weeks but give it a month and we'll still have the same general issue just under a different guise.
Jonathan Carter
>Why? What purpose does enforcing this restriction serve? Because general threads are cancer and unnecessary. If you have something to discuss start a thread about it if you have nothing to discuss, don't. There does not need to be a thread up 24/7 when there is nothing specific to discuss. And we don't need a cancerous /ag/ board.

>What separates this from spamming? The "unique" part.

OP here.
I'm sorry Sup Forums. I didn't realize there was already a meta thread I somehow missed it when I made this one. I tried to delete this thread so I could repost in that one but it won't let me.
Please have mercy on me mods.
Joshua Hughes
I think it's okay if you want to talk about Re:Zero or Konosuba, LWA or whatever the fuck every couple of days. But when retards purposefully bump a thread that's on page 10 with some inane shit like "Megumeme my waifu" or something obviously just to keep the thread alive it's infuriating. Hopefully mods will start clamping down on stuff like this.
Jose Baker
Sup Forums was already loosely structured like /vg/. Now the mods have turned it to Sup Forums. Expect Sup Forums tier garbage threads to follow soon.
Leo Torres
There is nothing left to discuss, everything has been already talked to death, it's just a general for shitposting about a shit anime which pisses me off whenever I see it

The only time "anti-spoonfeeding" leads to thread derailment is when the saucefaggots throw a hissy fit and make it a point to shit up a thread because they aren't competent enough to find their own porn. Any otherwise it's almost always just two or three guys saying 'lurk more' or 'fuck off', nice try attempting to shift the blame though. If that was going to work we wouldn't have this sticky right now. My final straw was when they did it to MiA and turned something beautiful into something ugly. Next faggot that tries to chain a thread is getting fucked right in the ass. Too bad. Anime generals never should have existed to with, that's exactly why he's saying both they and you belong in the /trash/.
Austin Rogers

Which is stupid because this is a blue board to begin with, so no one should be posting any porn, thereby leading people to ask for sauce.
Fucking go to /e/ or /h/ for that shit. Christ.
Aiden Nguyen

Well, I guess scums like you are truly going to enjoy it

Generals only attract the worse type of posters and you can just make a thread whenever you want to discuss the show instead of demanding a new board that would be detrimental to the entire site. Y O U R E T A R D.
Kevin Campbell

Christian Hughes
C'mon something good.

There's plenty of manga related threads that often turn into asking sauce, like OPTs
Anthony Johnson
Been a few times over the years. They tried it like a year ago I think and went back on it. They have tried to ban a lot of things on Sup Forums before and it never goes over well. Some of the those generals have probably been a round long then you have been posting
Evan Ortiz

Jacob Stewart
Gotta call these threads pl/a/cebo generals at this point.
Kevin Long
It'll do the opposite you fucktard, because a slam on shitposting will only make things better instead of sending this place to Sup Forums levels before /vg/ was made.

I think currently airing shows with threads shouldn't be considered generals

because it worked for Sup Forums etc etc memes this is getting tiring
People should learn to let go and stop making threads in chains when there's nothing to discuss anymore.
Adam Phillips
Absolute mongs promoting any sort of anime general board should kill themselves painfully Is it so hard to understand that shitposters and ledditors and undesirables will frequent both boards and just drive up site costs with no real improvement to Sup Forums's current userbase at all? Guess it's literally rocket science since you're advertising /vg/ as a high standard for your generalshit
