Hiro has made it clear that we need to talk about and discuss what should be and should not be allowed on our boards. And that the mods must be regulated on a tight leash to follow our guidelines.
So let's talk about how to fix and improve Sup Forums. Also Hiro is watching mods, don't try to fuck us
>Hiro is watching
Prove it.
Gamer shit needs to go and stay go, this isn't Sup Forums
Go to /qa/
Possibly not related to the thread but I would like a board split where they make a new board for purchasing advice, that would get rid of all the smartphone, graphics card etc threads
Yeah, you'll find a thread in auto sage filled with posts saying "its not my problem"
Stop bitching and actually list off the issues
Shills and trolls will come here, no matter how many other boards are created.
Because they're trolls and shills.
But with actual good moderation you can ban them quick and send a message
1) Cannot talk about anything I dislike
2) Can tank about things I like (but must say nice things)
3) Anime
BAN ANIME
I've seen people suggest splitting Sup Forums into two boards: One board would be a programming board and the other would be closer to consumer electronics/other technology.
Seems like an okay idea
I like this idea
...
This, also split it into actual technology and consumer electronics.
>programming board
That's too narrow. It should be sysadmin/programming/engineering/etc
Finally, generals should fucking stop.
GO BACK TO CHINA YOU FUCKING FURRY CAT
g ->
1. /gg/ - Generals
2. Sup Forums - Technology
3. /ng?/ - programming and system administaration
Battlestation threads should be nuked, they are circlejerk cancer. The generals are nice, but there are so many of them. Maybe they could receive their own board?
A programming board sounds nice but a technology general board wouldn't work. There aren't enough generals to fill that board.
Sup Forums - Technology
/ce/ - Consumer electronics and Sup Forumsirgins
OS detector
The mods on Sup Forums are perfectly fine.
I'm glad they delete all that Sup Forums-tier shit.
os flags, but not via useragent
This.
The board will definately not get split, there are already too much boards on 4kun anyway..
"Generals" have exactly this purpose, so you can read only content that's relevant for you. Unless it's some unimportant shit like "iPhone 7 general". But I'd appreaciate a "cpu general" a "graphic cards general" and an "OS general" so I'm not getting molested with "AMD vs. nVidia", "he, check my graphic card" and "Which OS is the best? Which distro should I install? Why are not you not Slackware yet? Is Kali the best hacking distro?".. those are the cancer that kills Sup Forums.
This was a cool idea.
This, and such a board should be called Buying & Shopping, as in /bs/, because all the shilling on Sup Forums belong with the horseshit.
I've didn't notice or thought that, kind of make me thank them.
Obvious bait threads are pretty bad.
Every time I come here
>AMD IS BANKRUPT
>NVIDIA ON SUICIDE WATCH
>WHAT'S WRONG WITH FREETARDS STOP WATCHING KIDS FUCK XD
>PAJEETS WHY DO YOU KEEP USING WANGBLOWS 10 LMAO
>no more game shit, we have multiple gaming boards
>show user OS the same way they show flags on Sup Forums
might as well bring /prog/ back
Yeah, today some edgelord posted a thread with a swastika and it got deleted immediately.
Somtimes they are more subtle, check out the OP of this thread:
I don't know what this is, since a few weeks the Sup Forums-tards are trying to infiltrate Sup Forums. I have no problems with that typical "nigger/jew/pajeet" slang.. Who cares?
But I would hate to see Sup Forums getting spammed with Sup Forums-tier racism, it's just so fucking annoying.
>5 posts a day
>60% of the questions: why won't my helloworld code work
why not /it/ so we can have "have you try to turn it on and off" as a banner? I love the IT Crowd.
get a sticky, or an equivalent /sqt/ for those questions, anything else gets bumped off the board
sounds nice too
This thread needs to cunt the fuck off. Board is fine as it is. If you want a programming board fuck off to reddit you nigger cuck tier Jew.
Is not only Sup Forums user. But it happens from years ago.
If shills or troll raids on Sup Forums exists, nobody can deny the one from that nazi forum was one the firsts.
This. Obvious trolling needs to be banned, this isn't Sup Forums.
I actually really like the OS flags idea.
The only bad thing I can immediately worry about is that there might be a ton of gentoo shitposting, though.
There might be more specific programming threads/generals, like "learning to program in [X]" that appear as their own threads instead of polluting /dpt/ and /sqt/
>I don't like change, the post
Nuke Sup Forums altogether, there is nothing noteworthy discussed on this board.
Finally, a reasonable response
What's wrong with not liking change? Change for change's sake is one of the biggest problems in technology today.
Yes please stop bst and guts, no one cares
I would very much like to have a sort of Consumer Electronics board. I'm basically only on here for talking about CPUs, GPUs, Smartphones, Headphones, etc etc
I wouldn't mind us being cast away to another board. It would literally be just more of what I want.
Yes this please, more useful information on reddit anyway and smarter people
>board is slow as granny tits as it is
>suddenly, freetards

>gpu threads hurt my ganoo-lunix pride
>pssh I don't even play games... kid
>it's not like the lack of PC games outside windows is an allegory of our opensource circlejerk's total inability to generate a software market at all
For one, SJW faggot mods should not be allowed.
>enjoying the spam of AMD vs Nvidia threads filled with stale memes, trolling and no actual discussion about the hardware at all
>I'm too much of a retard to filter threads I don't like, so how about we create two boards that are even more niche?
Fuck you, Sup Forums is already slow enough as it is.
How the fuck are you going to combat shitposting, you dense fucking autismo-utopian would-be cunt muncher? Downvotes? Pay-per-post? A populated board is going to be a shitposted board. You're not getting rid of the shitposters without getting rid of all posters. Stop thinking about it.
I like the occasional shitpost though. Sometimes some good comes out of them. For instance, things are slow and theres nothing but a wall of phone threads, a shitpost thread can work as a sort of life raft for those of us who just want to talk some random technology. Those threads don't always develop into angry shit flinging and they can provide people with a place to chill until a thread of interest appears.
You're fucking clueless.
This is the only one I really care about.
Sure it would be nice to get Sup Forums out of Sup Forums, but if we could get rid of the obvious trolls it would be a really nice step.
nice
My filters hide about 72 threads on average, and Sup Forums looks kinda neat then.
Actually, I agree with this. This is the only thing about Sup Forums I'm really bothered by.
>just ignore the issue
Hiro gave the go ahead for board meta posting until we see him again. So good luck ignoring it.
Try spamming this in every thread.
This
Why? I thought we are all friends here. Also, I'm a freetard, not a gaymur.
Get rid of obvious bait would be nice.w e need a Apple fag general to get rid of Apple shitposts.
I don't see why watches and everyday carry should be here.THey more look what got nigger!!!! You poor vs talking about new watch tech./CSG/ goes to biz
The mods on Sup Forums in general are fucking shit.
Here on Sup Forums during the night time it becomes shit posting and b tier cancer.
They delete what they want, sometimes threads that are perfectly fine and leave shit threads.
The banning is also stupid, they ban people for literally nothing sometimes.
Remove anti anime posters.
Almost ever board has god awful moderation. Run away power hungry and corrupt, with their own politics and idea of board culture.
It's the NUMBER ONE ISSUE. Hiro witnessed it today, hopefully next year when he posts again we can move on to tackling this issue.
>The banning is also stupid
This. I got a warning for using the word "poop". I wish I were trolling here...
What happend today? What did I miss?
>sometimes threads that are perfectly fine
That happens a lot when the OP has certain anime characters or cartoons. It's being used as an avatar and leads to shitposting.
>13. Do not use avatars or attach signatures to your posts.

Those aren't even bait threads, it's just shitposting.
Only reasonable reply ITT
We should have, just like /tech/, a sticky just for consumer advice (or even for software). I'm tired of seeing the same old 10 reply threads about "building cheap pc" or "whats a good mid-range android phone" that get no good answer.
Delete Sup Forums and just make it redirect to knowyourmeme.com. No one would know the difference at this point.
here you go user
>new GPU/phone/console threads
>desktop threads
>support threads (except some generals)
this still happens.
>Yeah, today some edgelord posted a thread with a swastika and it got deleted immediately.
there was a similar one yesterday for quite some time before being deleted
Why the fuck are graphics card threads allowed.
Here are some rules:
Ban all racist apologetics. Calling people nigger is different than promoting a race war, I can call my nigga to a lot of anons, but defending mass murder is not even funny trolling. And auto-sage racist and pro nazi propaganda in OP's pics for fuck's sake.
Ban all anti-Linux, anti-GNU trolling. We all suspect is some group shilling in favor of MIcrosoft but even if is not this is derailing and shitposting.
Send all consumer electronics to another board. AMD vs Nvidia, Microsoft vs Apple, is like we are in the middle of a cyber war here, and we have nothing to do.
Before deleting or auto-saging a thread with desktop in his name, make sure it doesn't have content other than mere screenshots and you are not deleting a genuine thread. Many times we tried to make threads about ricing and got sage.
Of course these rules need to be accompanied by the creation of a consumer electronics board so we can send all the spam there. But may as well create a more general board for general buying advice and information.
I propose the exact opposite of this post.
Oh, and also the battlestation and guts threads can be sent to the buying board if is to be created.
cancer doesn't want to get out, not a surprise, I bet you are one of the fucking shitposters, fuck you
ban desktop threads on Sup Forums. they belong on /wg/ anyway
Friendly reminder that mods on Sup Forums are shit
Pic related
Ok, if that one is true we are more fucked than I thought.
Maybe there was a lot of insults on your thread and janitors got trigger happy?
>ban
How long of a ban are we talking? Like a 24 hour ban or a perma?
Cause I don't think trolls/(fake) shills should be perma banned for being retards
That's like half the fun of Sup Forums
>Ok, if that one is true we are more fucked than I thought.
It is
>Maybe there was a lot of insults on your thread and janitors got trigger happy?
No more than the usual. The poster corrected a janitor / mod.
Here's another one. The poster got this from posting a picture that encouraged people to do "sudo rm -rf /"
Meanwhile, blatant racism, trolling, flamewars, consumerism and "gamers vs neckbeards" etc are seemingly allowed on this board.
I get that some trolling comes from deceived kids who were tricked by real shills into shitposting, I know because that happened in Sup Forums, /new/ and the beginnings of Sup Forums with the stromfags.
Now, do you want to have a board controlled by shills and trolls, without quality posts? you have to send them somewhere else and ban them at least as a warning.
I believe there are good mods on Sup Forums, but I am the first to admit some are venom for the community. Some legit mods even get shit from shills like in /lit/ time ago when stormfags tried a coup because he was not a nazi like them.
I dunno, future looks bleak.

>Meanwhile, blatant racism, trolling, flamewars, consumerism and "gamers vs neckbeards" etc are seemingly allowed on this board.
this is true, though
>I dunno, future looks bleak.
Well, future of Sup Forums that is. Meme masters will probably pounce at me for saying this, but at some point I will honestly just just migrate to /r/programming
>2014
I'm the poster that got that ban and I've been lurking since 2007. The board has gotten progressively worse since around the time mods stopped enforcing Sup Forums containment and since moot killed /prog/. Apparently /prog/ was filled with racist Racket and Haskell programmers and they started shitting this board up because they couldn't talk tech on Sup Forums
Fuck that. I don't say reddit is bad, but is not Sup Forums. Of course the Sup Forums of now is not what Sup Forums was some time ago.
I refuse to lose all the hope left. I prefer curse the real cause of these problems. Shills want to keep Sup Forums like they want, I say FUCK THEM.
I lost Sup Forums and Sup Forums to shitpost and porn spam, Sup Forums is one the boards that keep some decency thanks to smart people not eating the shills shit and I am going to defend it to death.
I don't think there is really any reason to ban certain certain types of threads unless they are illegal or off topic.
If certain types of threads piss you off then ignore them.
Ok, I understand where you're coming from but it doesn't have to be a black/white subject.
We just have to look at context and see if the trolls are just being trolls or if their legitimate retards, that's how this has always seemed to work. It seems that recently everybody went down the road of believing all the shit that is spewed and getting but hurt about it.
Having threads dedicated to shut smut and retardness shouldn't be allowed attention (shouldn't be banned, but just saged so they know that kind of content isn't what attracts the community, but the occasional joking about of "house fires" and "wood screws" is fine in my eyes.
Can't ignore the shitposting and flaming and harassment inside legit threads.
Also all the spam is like free publicity.

MOMMY THERE'S A SWASTIKA ON Sup Forums
Praise Stallman that we've never had an owner or moderation team that listens to user feedback.
A Sup Forums invasion would be a massive improvement to Sup Forums.
>A Sup Forums invasion would be a massive improvement to Sup Forums.
We already had a Sup Forums invasion, it happened when moot killed /prog/
It made Sup Forums objectively worse.
Go kill yourself faggot.
I don't see any of those things as an issue unless they are posting illegal content or consistently posting flames.
Pretty sure they have clear intentions. They want to spam.
So far we've been mostly free from nazis, that is one thing we can thank to mods. Also this
