As authorized under admin post No. 677151 I formally submit to the community the following idea for improving this board and open the thread for discussion and debate on the issue and for further ideas to be submitted.
There is a common sentiment that the generals are killing Sup Forums. No longer can you simply browse the first page and see genuine threads on individual topics within a sport, instead most discussion is done in the generals which are permanently bumped to the first few pages of Sup Forums making it harder to see the rest of the threads without using the catalog.
I propose a compromise, generals should be allowed to exist since clearly they're quite popular, but in the sake of making the front page more interesting to browse, we should add an [Expand Perma-Stikied Threads] or [Expand Generals] link at the top. All generals should be given a separate section that is normally hidden unless you click to expand it. This way the front page would only be a mixed bag of threads about different individual aspects of sports rather than a bunch of generals. People who want to post in the generals could easily navigate to their threads and post in them so it would be a win/win.

fuck generals, remove that trash altogether, literally are reddit
Ryder Rogers
bring back power rankings threads and allow off-topic gamethreads
make Sup Forums great again
Gabriel Hernandez
move all the american "sports" to /asp/ move all the video games threads to /vg/
Jace Miller
The format could be kept similar to how it is now, where people post another thread every 500 posts and those threads would just be marked as generals when posted, either by the user or by janitors or mods if they fail to, and be hidden, or we could allow one perma stickied thread per general with a rolling 500 post limit. We would have to discuss in the meta threads which threads deserve perma sticky status, so it's kind of authoritarian but it's an option.

the problem is that the euros can't keep their shitty soccer dicussion in their containment general so you get "le footy lad", "tsu", etc threads shitting up the catalog
70% of it is soccer shitposting
get rid of euros imo, send them to /asp/
Lincoln Gomez
ban anime, since this is a SPORT BOARD
Just make a Sup Forums general board like /vg/
Aiden Rogers
Also, you could make the OP image for each perma-sticky update to the image that is posted closest to, or on the 500th post from the last OP image post. Gotta throw a bone to the thread war types so now they can compete for OP image instead.
Wyatt Garcia
Sup Forums is fine for the most part
too many generals still but there have been more non general threads recently

>making power ranking threads
gtfo newfag. They're supposed to go inside ongoing threads to spice them up a little, you don't make a unique thread for them.

NO General stickies.
The problem in the worst General - /heem/ - is that the same handful of teens shit up the board with constant comments to each other about who started which thread, in-joke pics of Brendan Schaub, and other bullshit no one cares about and is certainly NOT relevent to MMA. This could easily be MODERATED out of existance. Just delete those posts as soon as they appear.
A stickie General will NOT solve this little group's need to dilute a potentially good thread with shitposting. Only moderation will.
Jace Brooks
never
Ryder Bennett
I see way too many Sup Forums-tier material on Sup Forums not being removed just because it has sport's in op's post. Just today we were talking about weather just because they had the word sport in it. I think that if the topic isin't linked to sports by some way, it should be removed
Carter Rivera
wtf are you talking about Sup Forums makes power ranking threads especially crowd/fan power rankings
Sebastian Gomez
Filter general to faggotry Auto sage all faggotry threads, Tada spee is saved

Aaron Jones
Fuck the chileans, less perro caca
Jace Cox
This.
Merge Sup Forums and /asp/, but no generals allowed.
Create a containment board for generals and mandrama.
Levi Cruz
Agreed, we need to separate the semi-serious discussion from the memes.
Cooper Murphy
Split American/sp/ and Euro/sp/
Dominic Rodriguez
more anime more perro caca more jazz
Julian Cook
Move the general to their own board. Sup Forums did this route and they still went alright.
Having it sport related will be no different
Leo Johnson
Becoming less convinced that Sup Forums can be saved by anything. Seems to have been a significant influx of underage, Sup Forums, and reddit lately. The change in audience is more problematic than the existence or location of generals.
Parker Russell
Sup Forums should be like a sports bar like it used to be
Dominic Gray
Manorama to Sup Forums
Owen Bell
Didn't read lmao But seriously, generals should be containenment for the sports and retardation that happens, 1000000 Perro caca threads or, it doesn't fookin sleep, get it the way of the generals most of us browse
