ITT: We fix Sup Forums. How? We find threads (other than the generals) that are unrelated to Sup Forums, and tell them to fuck off.
Remember to type "sage" in the "Options" box when posting.
The general recipe: - In tech support threads ("hurr durr muh computer broke", "how do I install this?", "I need this program"), we post this:
From > Sup Forums is NOT your personal tech support team or personal consumer review site.
- We report consumerism threads, treat the OP as a spammer and tell posters to fuck off:
>> hurr muh hardware (GPU, CPU, ...) > your hardware > Reported for spamming. > STOP replying to the spam, fags.
- In threads that have their own generals/boards, we send them to their respective thread/board. For example,
> How do I install linux??!??! > Muh desktop! and so on.
What's the idea? - We get used to reporting useless, spammy threads. - We leave news threads and (real) tech threads. - Also, we leave useful generals, since there is no need to remove them anyway.
Let's discuss how to fix Sup Forums ITT. This is my proposal.
it's hopeless, give up. do you think we haven't been trying this the entire time? 95% of my shitposting budget is spent on telling these retards to fuck off, install gentoo, and other memes *in addition to* reporting/hiding/saging.
mods don't care ,certainly the shitposters don't care, everyone with a modicum of intelligence left years ago.
give up.
Zachary Miller
you sound a little upset
Hunter Sullivan
self-control should help us. but yeah, it's difficult. thanks for your help. I sometimes tell people to fuck off to their threads/boards/ too

Gavin Wilson
Step one: All weebs and man children to their respective board. Step two: Discuss any and technology. Step three: ??????? Step Four: Profit.

Fuck off to one of the five thousand programming and linux threads.

the whole idea is to discuss how we fix this technology board. propose something, criticize my post, whatever.

Hey guys, let's have a thread about the PS4. It's a computer. It's hardware. It's technology!

Parker Smith
>muh Sup Forums boogieman Sup Forums is already shit because you faggots keep making one liner threads like "
Nolan Cook
I know, that's why I said it's a computer.
But do you know why we don't discuss the PS4 on Sup Forums?
The same reason we shouldn't discuss GPUs on Sup Forums
Nicholas Sanders
>he doesn't filter "meme", "windows", and "linux"
Austin Myers
The difference being the PS4 is a literal gaming device. It serves no other purpose.
Then again, the point of the previous post was that it's unfair to single out hardware (GPU, CPU) threads and let the others (headphone, watch, chink shit, desktop) get a free pass.
It's not a one way road friendo.
Nolan Reed
>The difference being the PS4 is a literal gaming device. It serves no other purpose.
If you think the PS4 is a gaming device, then I would also say that a graphics card is a gaming device. Though both can be used for other things, their primary purpose is gaming
>a thread about gamer RAM >a thread about gamer graphix card
This is the spam we are trying to prevent. Get with the program!

the way to fix Sup Forums is not make it "hacker news after 6"
Jackson Rodriguez
hacker news without the marxist moderation would actually be nice
Carter James
The board is not getting better just because you are filtering 90% of the threads.
Levi Stewart

Bentley Bennett
But you just said we don't talk about those?
This is consumer tech, isn't it? Sup Forums rarely talks about the hardware, that's mostly Sup Forums. GET WITH THE PROGRAM!
Carson Rivera
Actually, it is. I can focus on threads where meaningful discussion is taking place much more efficiently when I have filters. Thus contributing to good threads on Sup Forums, thus making the board better
Wyatt Cooper
I said we "Shouldn't" talk about those things.
And the PS4 is consumer hardware too.
Sup Forums talked about it a lot when it first came out. GPU discussion should be in Sup Forums
Ryder Hernandez
>what are filters Kill yourself autistic fag.
Oliver Bennett
The mods are the problem. Somehow the power structure got FUCKED here and I think it has to do with Asian moot making deals with hardware/software companies to allow shills (if they exist) or to mine data to get trending opinion on a product. I will probably be banned for this, I have been banned for saying a lot less.
Jeremiah Anderson

Fair enough. Maybe if more did it would make a difference
Jaxson Richardson

Adrian Smith
If *anyone* used their GPU for *anything* other than games here I moght agree with you.
Jonathan Stewart
>computer hardware threads aren't technology when seen from the point of consumerism... it isn't. do you see people talking about GPU modding and other stuff? these threads are about BUYING GPUs, and comparing them for >muh gaymes
>OP made this image and thread dumbass
THIS, people don't seem to understand that filtering is not a solution. most people here come to discuss consumer products, NOT technology, and filtering won't help.
just no Sup Forums
Adam Ward
That's what happens when you spam weeb-shit porn on a blue board.
Xavier Peterson
>But GPU isn't video games
Neither is a PS4. How is this not getting through your thick skull? An Xbox controller is not a video game. It is a piece of technology that you can hook up to a computer. Discussion of it belongs on Sup Forums though
Jose Hughes
I vote we boot homescreen threads too. Auto sage Sup Forums chan daisuki Auto sage maki threads Delete any thread that starts with an anime image, or auto sage(anime reaction images are fine in the thread though)
Thoughts?
Grayson Martin
Look Sup Forums, just because your board is Sup Forums 2.0 or Sup Forums 2.0 doesn't mean Sup Forums is.
Julian Stewart
I'm not the one complaining about discussing a recently launch computer part.
Nathaniel Ward
>hurr durr it's just a computer part
Read these posts
Josiah Collins
So we can't talk about CPUs or SSDs or Motherboards either because gamers use those? You sound insane.
Juan Hall
Honestly simply ignoring a thread is better than saging with a truly pointless post like "fuck off with this shit go to Sup Forums" because even if you sage, someone will inevitably reply with a bump, and then your post only moved the thread two posts towards the bump limit, which most threads don't even come close to anyway (disregarding generals, which are going to get re-made).
Robert Cook
My god you're a stupid fuck. Yes you can install Linux on it, so fucking what? It's made for games, and graphics cards aren't only for gaming, that's just one of their many purposes. The PS4 was designed with one thing in mind, and that's games.
Luke Price
OP is getting fucking slaughtered
I bet he had dreams of this being a huge thread with everybody agreeing with him
Mason Bennett
lol what the hell this might as well be my first time back on this place since i was in highschool and even when we were mostly all open pedophiles we had tons of uh what gfx card buy etc etc threads, just gotta find your own special way to enjoy them :) :) :) ;)
Parker Martin
He's delusional. Probably somewhere high on the spectrum too.
Elijah Howard
We can discuss those because they're MAIN PURPOSE is not for gaming
this is why I use filters
Graphics cards were also made for gaming
fuck off Sup Forums
Xavier Torres
Why isn't this user a mod yet? He'll make Sup Forums great
Michael Watson
who is this semen demon
Carson Clark
>graphics cards were also made for gaming You're fucking retarded. Graphics cards back in the day were called GPGPU, an acronym for General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit. They're meant for any kind of graphical processing. Games aren't the only kind of graphical processing done when using a computer.
Nolan Mitchell
do you not understand the difference between a spammy thread made by fanboys/marketing people, and a thread discussing technology? it's quite clear, m8
OP here. wut? I've only made a few posts, and most people ITT agree that we need more control.
see >THIS, people don't seem to understand that filtering is not a solution. most people here come to discuss consumer products, NOT technology, and filtering won't help. same argument applies. ignoring the problem won't solve it. it's true that generating more discussion won't make it go away, but people WILL leave if there are told once and once again.
Parker Collins
I think cryptocurrency and smartphone threads should be allowed under the condition that they're actually taking about the tech behind it and not just showing off what they bought or asking if they should buy bitcoin "What should I buy"/general consumerism with no substance threads should either be confined to one thread or banned outright

How about getting a janitor? I knew Sup Forums doesn’t have any mod but now I’m suspecting even worse.
Lucas Lewis
I applied to be a janitor twice. I'm pretty sure they tossed it because I said I cared about the quality of the board.
Evan Moore
>tells me to see a post about the PS4 in reply to one about GPUs Wow you really are retarded

Michael Garcia
what's your post history like
Nathan Moore
The post I pointed you to is illustrating a point.
Just because a piece of hardware can technically be used for more than games DOES NOT MEAN that it should be discussed on Sup Forums
Luis Morgan
I believe you because this board is progressively getting worse
Jonathan Campbell
mostly just helping people with programming in dpt and the occasional thread outside of that. Occasionally asking for help with linux in flt
Jaxon Hughes
Alright, so let's ban everything about computers and software. Everything in both those categories can be related to gaming, science, literature, math. Let's relegate all those topics to /sci/, Sup Forums and every other board on this site and leave Sup Forums empty. Is that your solution?
Oliver Jenkins

The main purpose of GPUs is not gaming.
Daniel Allen
So an Intel gpu is mainly for gaming? You can't use an AMD a8 7600 for general desktop use? People rely on r7 240 gpu for gaming where you're from? You can't use AMD graphics for compute? You can't use nvidia graphics for cuda?
Jordan Sullivan
Compare Gentoo compilation times between an i7 and a C2D. Seriously. See
Ian Gutierrez
See OP image. See any thread on Sup Forums about graphics cards. See any website that sells graphics cards, usually labeled as "Xtreme gamer edition" and bundled with CoD
You can install Ubuntu on a PS4. That doesn't mean we need to discuss the PS4 on Sup Forums.
Make a CUDA thread if you want. But this Sup Forums spam has got to go

Colton Diaz
>we can because it's still technology.
That's where you're wrong. See, technically video games are technology. So are cars, bikes, and guns. But BECAUSE THESE THINGS ALREADY HAVE THEIR OWN BOARD, their discussion is not allowed here
Jaxon Gray

David Smith

for in-browser games?
Kayden Wood
ok but what board do i ask which LED fans i should swap into my gfx card
Hudson Nguyen
Trying to change something so deeply embedded in the mindset of this website is not a task that is going to be accomplished with a few people sageing.
Sup Forums is not the place to be for meaningful discussion of anything.
David Ortiz
Yes but video games have their own board. This is the board for consumer technology, which includes graphics cards and computers like the ps4 or alienware laptops.
Among many other uses. Thus, they don't belong on Sup Forums. Give it up faggot.
Austin Jones
>This is the board for consumer technology, which includes graphics cards and computers like the ps4
Dominic Clark
He's not wrong though. You're just a shitty troll.
Xavier Jenkins
One goal at a time, Marcos ;-)
Adam Mitchell
IMO, A /consumer/ board would solve many problems. I keep repeating the same shit: Sup Forums should have a dedicated consumerism board. In fact, Sup Forums could even profit from it, by adding/modifying referral/affiliate links. That way, everyone would win.
