How do you think we can MGGA? Proposals: -Half the board is becoming generals, taking up space for potential threads. We can overcome this by placing a limit on the number of generals allowed at a time. -Operating system war threads provide no actual content, and just end up being people throwing shit at each other. Ban them. -There are currently four threads about TempleOS and Terry Davis. We need to limit it to one at a time, or /tosg/. -Tech support threads still pop up every hour. Instead of helping people. we need to link them to /sqt/. -The sticky doesn't contain enough information. If we also added infograpics like pic related, it could prevent unnecesarry posts.
I agree with banning the number of generals. Some of them are way too specific, and we could combine several into one.
Andrew Martin
But wont that just make more spam threads?
Luke Ward
That implies people who just came here check for generals
James Baker
Is to
Carson Murphy
Kill the sticky. Stallman is a communist piece of shit.
Joshua Kelly
What if we replaced Stallman with another Sup Forums idol like Terry? There was already a vote on this, although it was probably rigged by Terry's followers.
Xavier Bell
>we have too many generals >make another general
James Foster
But this is different. Those threads are recreated every single day. I have trouble believing this will become a constant thread.
Fuck hardware or buying threads. Literally just open your search bar and go to any modern site to find reviews on hardware you're interested in.
Headphone threads are worthless
Spec threads are literally screenshots of text representing hardware. Aka worthless
Fetch threads are slightly more interesting but that's not saying much. Worthless
Guts threads are dumber than everything I've mentioned so far. Just pictures of computer components. Worthless
The only good generals are the programming and web dev ones. The Linux general is okay in theory but it turns into people starting flame wars instantly.
But the most important thing to remember about my complaints is I really hate consumer threads bc there are literally hundreds of websites devoted to reviewing and comparing products.
Samuel Baker
oh fugg, I meant Brian Kernighan pls don't kill me
Jonathan Taylor
This, although I believe that Chink Shit General is also valid
Aiden Martinez
>This, although I believe that Chink Shit General is also valid
Chink shit thread is the definition of consumerism. How is a thread filled with knockoff recommendations related to technology? Should we also have an eBay thread too for getting good deals?
Gabriel Green
>Chink shit thread is the definition of consumerism. How is a thread filled with knockoff recommendations related to technology? Should we also have an eBay thread too for getting good deals? kek, that is basically what /tpg/ is now. There truly is a godafwul general for everything
Hunter Jones
i would like this to happen but i do not think it will happen. people are not interested in conversation, well not enough people are. remember /nsg/
Oliver Myers
I want the whole board to be generals. The discussion within them is of much higher quality than "RATE MY BUILD THREAD #98928392832" and GPU shitpost thread #9819829389328932
Nathaniel Edwards
The rules are fine. They do not need to change. If you don't like a thread, blame the person who started it. >Waaah waaaah this thread is a general So? >Waaah waaah they're discussing things that don't interest me Then don't read those threads. If that leaves you with no threads to read, either start a good thread or stop coming here.
Personally, the only changes I would like to see on Sup Forums are: >Less whinging about Pajeets >Only one browser b8 thread at a time (yes, another general!) >More talk about hardware jobs and less talk about programming >A general for certifications, getting IT jobs, etc, but only if people are going to post in it >Less b8 all round >No more "I want to buy headphones but I am entitled to only the finest headphones so tell me what headphones are objectively best for muh gaymen even though we all know that headphones of a similar price are going to be borderline-indistinguishable in quality" cancer >OP needs to kys
If we can achieve all those, Sup Forums will be perfect.
Ian Price
oh look, a general's general
Andrew James
Why not make a /gg/ board just like Sup Forums has its own /vg/?
Juan Garcia
yes
Logan Russell
Is time to create a proper board for consumerism and rename this board as computers, IT, or whatever.
The only pic I would agree to replace Stallman with is this one, and is obviously not a popular choice.
Just give up already and accept Stallman you trolls.
Gabriel Robinson
>Do you care about bloat >Yes >Ubuntu and its spinoffs are listed That shit is bloated and slow as jesus christ rising from the grave
Wyatt Collins
Also >LFS >Not real operative systems Literally what? LFS is building and compiling your own distro from scratch. It's like Gentoo for kids with endless time
Juan Diaz
Stallman is a fucking hack at this point, but Ritchie seems a bit generous for this board.
Thus Terry, who could easily be mistaken for an elaborate Sup Forums troll, should be our mascot.
Thomas King
fuck off troll, you are not convincing anyone
Charles Martinez
ban >>>/ptg/
Lucas Jackson
poor baby can't get an invite
Jaxon Sanders
>Half the board is becoming generals, taking up space for potential threads. We can overcome this by placing a limit on the number of generals allowed at a time. I'd rather have 15 generals than ten more retarded threads, even though I only visit one general regularly.
Samuel Scott
>How is a thread about buying cheap tech related to technology? gee I have no idea.
Dylan Kelly
that thread is basically consumer reviews and suggests not technology
Jayden Young
Deleting generals won't restart the stagnant tech industry from which we derive much of our content. Furthermore, the generals serve as good containment for the social media retards.
Hunter Ortiz
>I want the whole board to be generals.

Luke Morris
I voted for all of them :^)
Luke Long
Or we could have a proper /prog/ramming board.
Wyatt Morris
dumb, it'll sort itself out eventually
it always has
Parker Thompson
like Sup Forums? I don't think so
Ayden Robinson
where do you think this is
Nolan Gutierrez
more maki/satania/weeb threads less generals and stupid technology discussion, especially Sup Forumseddit tier
Jaxson Brown
Where the fuck is Steve jobs on the ballot?
Redo the poll, this is unacceptable.
Hudson Robinson
Ban the use of the abbreviation "af"
Carter Thompson
Better yes have it filter to as fuck as well as "a f"
Angel Cook
CSG is one of the best Generals on Sup Forums someone bought a domain for it, they have tons of loot infographics and ops are always well done
Asher Evans
word/ban filter on pajeet/poo in loo/etc the niggers that keep spamming those terms are racist pieces of shit
Jeremiah Jenkins
Hello Rajesh you run any good IRS scams lately?
Isaiah Butler
I side with most posters on the thread count. HOWEVER, for the love of Stallman, don't just set such a command and control rule such as "Only X threads on TOPIC allowed"...
A poster should check the catalogue to see if his subject matter is already covered in a thread. If it is, post there. If a anyone sees a thread, whose subject is already sdiscussed in a separate thread, this newer thread should be reported/deleted.
And finally, implement global rule 4 both for OPs and for posts. 4. You should always elaborate on your opinions rather than just spilling the soykaf.
E.g. pic related should be deleted instantly.
Cameron Turner
this isn't lainchan
Noah Hernandez
bring back desktop threads
Asher Scott
/gg/ when?
Andrew Peterson
THIS THIS THIS
Evan Peterson
Ban all mac/iphone/ishit devices. This would actually be easy since all you do is examine the browser agent and ban anything that smells of Apple
Side note: does anything ever get actioned through these threads, or are they just a waste of time?
Jace Johnson
>Less whinging about Pajeets >A general for certifications, getting IT jobs, etc, but only if people are going to post in it >OP needs to kys
Nice try pajeet.
Daniel Gray
I agree with most of them but also: >no thread about amd vs nvidia >no threads about distro posting
Joseph Smith
Literally this. Sup Forums is floaded with this shit all the time.
Lincoln Turner
ban your idiocy
fuck off pajeet
Cameron Hernandez
FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
Tyler Rodriguez
As much as everyone (especially mods/admins) against board split, Sup Forums could use a split to
-Sup Forums - Technology -a consumer electronics board (phones, watches, portable media players etc) -a computer customization board (hardware and sw wise customizations. Buttstation, desktops, homescreens, foobar skins etc.)
Christopher Torres
If we could just make a containment board or general for the gaymen manchilds it would be enough. they are the absolute surce of consumeirism garbadge that only cares about muh gpu, muh RGB "insert anything here" and muh "help i cant run muh gaymes"
Jayden Nguyen
I like the idea, there is a certain logic behind that solves many problems on both sides.
Jaxon Hall
Good idea, but that would turn one fast board into three slow ones
Carson Brooks
That's not really a problem. An on-topic slow/medium speed board is not bad.
Also, /cc/ board could have extra features, like secondary file upload for a post for -config/style file -high resolution/uncompressed wallpaper
Brody Young
>Half the board is becoming generals, taking up space for potential threads. Yes >We can overcome this by placing a limit on the number of generals allowed at a time. That's a terrible implementation though, and will be broken constantly. I suggest permanently moving some of them, for example /ptg/ to /t/, while keeping all the consumerist shit in one thread. >Operating system war threads provide no actual content, and just end up being people throwing shit at each other. Ban them. Discussion should be allowed, though obvious spam should be dealt with. "Install gentoo" wasn't funny the first time, and I have no idea why the GNU/linux copypasta isn't in the wordfilter yet.
And while your at it, permaban that pedophile with his shitty MacOS posts. His posts are NSFW and he brings no proper arguments forward. >There are currently four threads about TempleOS and Terry Davis. We need to limit it to one at a time, or /tosg/. Agreed >Tech support threads still pop up every hour. Instead of helping people. we need to link them to /sqt/. I still don't get why this has become so commonplace over the last few years. If you manage to find Sup Forums you should be tec-literate enough to troubleshoot yourself. If not, fuck off. >The sticky doesn't contain enough information. If we also added infograpics like pic related, it could prevent unnecesarry posts. It's like that for every board, but yes, it is an issue, but boils down to the fact that mods are to uncooperative. It has been proposed multiple times already, but they never give a response.
Luke Jackson
What about combining some generals, because some are about very specific things?
Daniel Reed
Is Cyanogen a good phone OS in general? My current phone keeps restarting and crashing so I'm thinking about rooting it and sticking another OS on it.
Joseph Sanders
Why there aren't rules on generals in the first place doesn't make much sense to me.
Why doesn't the administration outline rules for generals? Even a simple rule like "Don't make generals until they hit page 10" would keep the catalog a whole lot fresher.
We should also move /ptg/ to /t/, and we should move all the other "not technology" generals off as well.
Dylan Roberts
Forgot to mention that we should move /fglt/ and /sqt/ to /wsr/.
Lucas Murphy
I had no idea this cringey site existed
Brody Torres
moving sqt solves nothing. Fags would still shit up Sup Forums with their WAT R BEST LABTOB FOR $200 NEEDS TO RUN HAT FORTRESS 2 AND MEMECRAFT threads. It's a containment thread we create so Sup Forums doesn't turn into pure distilled shit, because does-it-for-free-man doesn't/not allowed to mercilessly delete support garbage.
Jose Hughes
Ban Wintard and iphone threads and everything will be fine
Kayden Ward
kill the cancer watch thread.
Jeremiah Brown
There are certain topics that are very specific, talking about blatant consumerism is not and shouldn't be promoted nor tolerated.
If one where, for example, talking about smartphones in /spg/ on a place like Sup Forums, I would expect people to be talking about price/performance ratio, compatibility with custom ROM's, if it has a SD slot, a removable battery or the fact that the bootloader is unlocked or not, NOT comparing the specs of obviously overpriced phones or talking about their looks.
I personally like how 8ch is doing it; there are 2 stickied threads: one for buying recommendations and one for support. Low quality "is X good?" threads are deleted.
Sebastian Williams
Imo ban all discussions about linux or create a containment board for them called /pedo/.
They are behaving on this board like the members of a cult who cannot accept any other OS unless it's part of their cult.
Such behaviour is antithetical to an actual interest in technology, it's just sectarian worship which stifles real debate on technology.

Just cause it's well run doesn't mean it belongs here. Consumerism is cancer.

David Gutierrez

Eli Rodriguez
>Should we also have an eBay thread too for getting good deals?
really, what is wrong with letting each other know what is the best bang for our buck? >kek, that is basically what /tpg/ is now
point still stands. should we tell newcomers to go out and buy a walmart laptop that will last 2 years, or something that, without exaggeration, will last beyond a decade?
The only two things that Sup Forums needs to be rid of are the constant AMD vs. Intel threads (how can you fags talk about this every day?), and the smartphone general (like amd vs. intel, there is only a limited amount of discourse which can be had on this topic)
