Keep an eye on this thread to make sure nothing fishy happens, such as autosage before the bump limit.

Sup Forums is bouncing back lad
Jack Howard
more and strict moderation desu

this
mods need to delete threads like these
Leo Ward
/spg/ would be great. It would actually mean more post made in generals and in other threads. Threads on Sup Forums wouldn't be drowned out by generals and people would be more different types of generals would be made on /spg/.
Jack Murphy
1 year bans for JUSTposting

I tell you the 3 steps that will make Sup Forums great again:
1) Relaxed, Sports Bar Moderation The sports bar vision of our forefathers needs to be rekindled. The mods' lazy and frankly vindictive view of ''We can't take the time to figure out your culture so we're going to nuke it'' is a travesty. In 2011, Sup Forums was the meme capital of Sup Forums due to a unique blend of sports and off-topic that influenced the entire site for years. Today, nothing original comes from Sup Forums. Moderation should serve to protect us from CP, porn dumps, race-baiting, spam, and egregious shitposting. It should not helicopter over power rankings, chase bowls, and other fun threads. If Janitors are meant to represent the community, it should be easy for them to determine which threads are good and which are shit.
2) Gamethread Post Timers Reduced to 30 Second Cooldowns: When creating a thread, Sup Forums should have a special UI option for ''gamethread'', that reduces the post cooldown to 30 seconds. Threads that are pretending to be gamethreads to circumvent the 60 second timer will be banned (Threads that are checked as being gamethreads can have special subject rules such as needing two team name fields to be filled to help cull this). This way generalfags (I don't like generals but I don't think it's fair to outlaw them) can have their threads without them devolving into chatrooms (which was the original intention for the 60 second increase).
3) Audio Enabled for Webms: 99% of sports video has a broadcaster's call associated with it. Why is audio disabled? Webm creators would appreciate audio allowance, and webm threads would be more popular. Remember, content creation is a key to Sup Forums.
These 3 simple steps would breathe life back into the board, and those who have been exiled can return to create content and make Sup Forums fun again.
TL;DR: • Relaxed Moderation at Night (Sports Bar Mindset) • Gamethread post timers reduced to 30 seconds • Webms need audio
Jayden Flores
I mean people would make more different types of generals on /spg/. Fuck, I need to proofred more.
Jack Campbell
>Audio Enabled for Webms: There should be an option in settings.
>I don't like generals but I don't think it's fair to outlaw them Don't outlaw them, move them to /spg/.
>Today, nothing original comes from Sup Forums. Moderation should serve to protect us from CP, porn dumps, race-baiting, spam, and egregious shitposting Things which are illegal, NSFW, overly disruptive (spam) or outside culture basically. We should keep Sup Forums out so we grow strong as a board. We must protect our culture and make sure we are an exporter of memes, not an importer.
Levi Thomas
We need to export perro caca, SKEEUUP and BBB to other boards
Jeremiah King
>Deleting footy lad threads. Sad!
Christian Reed
i think we should make a fund and donate for mod's salaries
Anthony Lewis
Yes, just like the US export McDonald's and their shitty culture the world over. It shows they are a superpower. We must regain our position as one of the powers of this chan.
Benjamin Hall
5 minutes cool down for any thread please.
Dylan Rodriguez
How contrived.
Lincoln Jenkins
What is the argument against having audio for webms?
I seriously want to hear it, because I've yet to hear it ever since webms were added to Sup Forums.
Henry Ramirez
Remove foreigners, bring us back the the Golden age of being a mostly American Board
Andrew Price
screamers money
Benjamin Baker
I was one of the first posters here, I made the first >18-1 thread and I posted in the first >yfwdbwdso
Aiden Sanchez
Audio spam and bandwidth/file size
Grayson Jenkins
screamers
its literally just that
Nathaniel Butler
Other boards have sound webms. You just set the volume to off and manually adjusted.
Jacob White
Then you remember how this board was mostly Americans discussing American sports
Robert Cook
only the gif/webm related boards have sound
Gavin Parker
Sup Forums is an international website nigga. It's night in some places when it's day for you.
Gavin Morales
I've never seen a screamer on any webm board.
That fear is so overblown.
Mason Kelly
Loud porn on my wsf board
Luis Sanders
well yeah, those boards are basically just porn material, no one bothers doing it
but i can see it happening in popular boards like Sup Forums or Sup Forums all the time if they allow it
i still think its worth it tb h
Gavin Thompson
Make soccer, cricket, and other gay sports go to /ppsp/ (poor people sports)
Mason Gray

If you want to post in less than 60 second just buy the pass nigga.
You want better features? Pay for them

seriously mods its been one and a half years. how butthurt can you even be?
Samuel Jenkins
1. Ban generals.
2. Allow off topic. We need our event bowls, power rankings and ass threads.
3. Still ban any nsfw posting.
Easton Long
What did the mods mean by this?
Nolan Cook
>1. Ban generals. That's banning on-topic discussion. I don't see how you can justify that alone but then you have to consider that some people in those generals prioritize those generals for their posting over everything else on Sup Forums; like that's why they come to Sup Forums and you're taking that away suddenly.
>2. Allow off topic. We need our event bowls, power rankings and ass threads. People do like to discuss off-topic things on their favorite boards as opposed to Sup Forums or the proper topic board but that's too slippery a slope. That's pretty much asking everyone to go wild with mods holding back until anything disastrous happens. Every mod will have to approach moderation that with their own perceptions without criteria or rhetoric because it's so subjective. You can't come to Sup Forums, or any board, and treat it like Sup Forums without it becoming a wasteland of drivel, or worse: blogposting.
If you're aching to make a hilarious off-topic thread that will get 150 replies before deletion you may as well take the short ban if it's that worth it to you, which is what people do.
Lincoln Morris
Sup Forums used to be amazing but the moderator got a power trip.
One example was posting of "lebroning" videos. Youtube them, they are actually quite humorous. But the moderator decides to ban them because he deemed them racist.
Anyways: How about get rid of the admin and janny team as a start? The board goes to shit don't so some limp wristed poll or public survey. Ax the faggets that ruined it from the funnest board to the most boring.
Nathaniel Turner
I don't understand why we don't already have audio webms.
30 sec cooldown for game threads would be good but it would require the mods to make one contained game thread for each game, which is way too much work for them
I think moderation is pretty relaxed as is
>Sup Forums is bouncing back lad I think you're right
Owen Brooks
Sup Forums is a shithole
Luke Martin
pol and v dont need audio. sp and tv do
I'd buy a pass if I wasn't constantly telling myself I'm going to quit this place
Nolan Ramirez
Get rid of the board index. People here are too lazy to click 'page 2', that's why only generals have activity, because nobody uses the catalog
Nathan King
>nobody users the catalog
I find this hard to believe, surely people aren't this retarded?
Jace Hernandez
Heem should have a permanent sticky.
William Bailey
>1. Ban generals. Banning isn't good. Move them to /wsg/.

But allow any authentic Sup Forums posting whatever its nature. Protect our Sup Forums memes!
Justin Garcia
How do people not use the catalog? The catalog is the only way this site is usable
Hunter Hernandez
Check the threads, when they reach page 3 for some reason they rarely have another post. But if someone bumps them after a couple of hours they suddenly have activity again
Evan Bennett
That's not Sup Forums bub, I don't use the catalog on principle
Gavin Martin
because people are lazy and dont feel like searching for threads, thats why a bunch of idiots ITT complain about generals
Kevin Powell
Sup Forums was great back in 2010-2011. I think it was a combination of the bro/lad cultrue we had and the late night Sup Forums stuff. There aren't sports going on all the time so obviously we can't talk sports 24/7. Not sure what the solution would be but clearly the moderation sucks. General threads also suck, they turn into echo chambers and have ruined the board imo
James Sanchez
Eliminate tripcodes.
Jaxson Collins
How do we improve Sup Forums? Turn everyone from Sup Forums--mods, jannies, anonymous, name friends and trip friends past, future and present--into poorly transitioned trannies and then let me keep them in a special harem where it's my personal job to infect them with HIV via unprotected anal sex during a nasty viral load. Only I'm allowed to infect but once the recipient has been successfully pozzied and someone else has the illness those two can fuck. Then when everyone is infected I can quietly retire to a remote tropical island. I don't have HIV, but I could use some dirty syringes for heroin which I also don't use.
Charles Parker
Is this why people whine about generals? because they cant into catalog? Srs?
Landon Lewis
Look, I'm gonna prove it right now. There hasn't been a single reply in more than 2 hours and now because of this bump the thread is gonna be active again
Daniel Price
are you the "this isn't bro culture" permasalty swiss guy?
Michael Thompson
No. It's because generals have highly stifled overall creativity. General threads are regularly repetitive. They have created closed off groups of people who treat specific generals as their own personal chatroom and home. There are people who literally spend all day in the same generals bumping them to stay alive or fighting over who gets to start the next thread. These are not healthy things to be doing for the board. Some of them have elitist groups or repetitive spammers who make people who don't live in these threads everyday unwelcome. Funny thing is that these people who use the threads as their personal chatroom are regularly posting off topic anyway. So disguising an off topic thread by starting it as a sports general is perfectly fine apparently.
Owen Campbell
>So disguising an off topic thread by starting it as a sports general is perfectly fine apparently. Well yes, I thought everyone knew that by now.
Also, I don't think generals necesarilly make the entire board bad, they are shit but are contained in their bubbles that you can easily ignore. I don't know why you would want those cancerous faggots to post in another threads
Juan Harris
Ass threads should come back
Jack Taylor
We need Carchaseb owl threads
Thomas Rodriguez
Yeah but the argument for includes audio webms of SKEEEEEEEEEEYUUUUP
Joshua Murphy
Well I agree with the /spg/ idea for what its worth
Julian Sanders
You have just described virtually every general on Sup Forums, however you negated to include that the dominant country in that general tries to gang up and force the other nations out, so in essence, they try to create an Sup Forums type of thread. As long as shit like that occurs, generals are always going to be repetitive.
Brody Russell
Generals will always be repetitive. Harmless shit like /trb/ and /arse/ should be allowed to stay. Even though /arse/s only reason to exist is to laugh at them after they fail yet another season.
Nolan Reed
How to make Sup Forums great Bring back: >Haxball >Power Rankings >Car chase threads >Stealing gets from other boards >Embarassing other boards on Youtube >Return of the Mack/Late night R&B >Owl threads for random events like major trials and such >Nutsy Bolts >LeXsplorer (ay free my nigga LeX mane) >Fast food discussion
/spg/ would just mean most of the traffic goes there and Sup Forums becomes even slower.
Liam Turner
Is there a fucking file size limit on image posts now?
Fuck's sake. He's just bleeding this place dry.
Hunter Flores
no jannies and less moderating
Justin Bennett
There's always been. It used to be smaller as a matter of fact.
Nathan Watson
Really? I've been posting and spamming pics here for years and never encountered it until this morning. S-Sorry Hiro.
Dominic Martinez
Lex is coming back
1/2
Jack Young
more board culture and less off topic bans from butthurt jannies
Adrian Carter
...
Gabriel Peterson
You're not even allowed to make a thread criticising American sports here without getting a ban.
Benjamin Green
ban the words "cuck" and "cucked"
Dylan Wood
This please
Carson Long
Face it, Sup Forums has been dead for years (apart from a few threads). These threads never achieve anything.
Janitors can't ban you, iirc. Mods are the fags. Unfortunately will never happen but good list.
Jeremiah Rivera
Jannies have more power than you think. They can send in ban requests which 9/10 get blindly accepted by moderatators because they're too lazy to check the report.
t. Ex-Sup Forums janitor
Hunter Morales
Yes, I'm aware that they have the ban request option but this just adds to how hilarious it is, don't you think? Americans literally can't handle the banter.
Jason Cook
How do we get Hiro to fire Sup Forums janitors?
Dominic Mitchell
Money.
Charles Lewis
>Relaxed Moderation at Night Ever heard of different timezones?
Jordan Brooks
Spoiler for images nudity should be posted under spoiler instead of deleted
Julian Moore
Shit opinion
Sup Forums doesn't need spoilers nor does it need to be a porn dump thread
Jaxon Cook
there will be always people posting porn during intervals. Put them under a spoiler to keep the thread sfw
Chase Green
Ban Canadians right now and I guarantee the board will improve overnight
Easton Powell
This is "sucking another mans dick culture"
Josiah Murphy
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA >for free
If someone posts porn, do you think he cares about the rules? Shit opinion.
Liam Richardson
FUCK YOU MODS. HIRO SAID META-THREADS WERE OKAY
WHY THIS IS IN AUTO SAGE? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Ethan Reyes
lmao why would you think the mods/janitors on here care? They even put legit sports threads like cycling on autosage and delete threads if they don't like you. They don't give a shit about anything.
Jace Ortiz
i just saw a porn thread, you are right. Sup Forums needs a strict moderation
