Alright I gotta bring something up about the state of this board specifically regarding Homestuck threads and I'm using the permitted meta thread to do so. No matter what they're being 404d for no apparent reason. While I am aware that there may have been an off-topic issue in years past if one actually looked into these threads they would see that the current threads manage to stay entirely on-topic, simply discussing Homestuck. I don't see a reason why there should be a continued ban on these threads about a webcomic on Sup Forums that consistently manages stays on topic.

Hotpockets is mad, what do you expect?

There's nothing left to say about Homestuck anymore. All the threads are just about how shitty the comic got.

Basically the HSG regulars still browse the board and use any homestuck thread to shitpost on.

I think the mods that regularly browse this board fucking hate circlejerks they just shitcan anything vaguely related to the topic as to not give the HSG guys any room.

It happens to many other topics that got a general Past a point the mod simply says "enough" and shitcans the topic entirely, unless there's new on-topic content being produced. Not much you can do about it.

perhaps in a couple years they HSG guys will leave and you can have your homosuck nostalgia back. perhaps.

Perhaps the quality of discussion wasn't exactly the best but everything posted in those threads were centered around Homestuck which is what matters for a general.

Move cartoons to Sup Forums al-fucking-ready.

Mods obviously don't care. Steven Universe threads get moved to /trash/ despite being on topic because "it's on hiatus" and Sinfest threads get deleted for no apparent reason. Adhering to the rules they've set up is less important than getting rid of threads they don't like.

Move live-action capeshit discussion to Sup Forums al-fucking-ready

why do most generals get sent to trash yet Star Wars general gets to stay here

The Mouse pays Hiro.

Yes. Moving cartoons should be the priority though. Most Sup Forums discussion will go away with them anyway.

This board has mods?
Oh, right. Only when you upset their feelings rather than, you know, make a shit thread.

I think there's a mod who's a Sup Forums regular and likes some cartoons. Pretty sure he micromanages the generals because they fetishists trigger him

Star Wars is too large of a media franchise compared to Loud House or Star Vs., it needs containment

Wow I wasn't aware of this happening to a lot of generals on this board. What's even the point of Sup Forums if EVERYTHING gets moved/deleted?

Can we do something about that annoying sperg who makes "best cartoons ever" and "what happened to Cartoon Network?" threads everyday?

Homestuck generals were a persistent blight on the board for years. They were pure concentrated cancer and were axed permanently a few years ago. The occasional Homestuck thread now is fine, but a Homestuck "general" will never exist again and you'd be pretty stupid to try it.

the deal is that the threads are also getting canned.

Generals should all be banned.

>Sup Forums is permitted a metathread

Lucky, we're not allowed them on /tg/

We aren't really, they get auto-saged

Yeah that's the problem I was talking about. Even an infrequent basic thread ends up 404d

they are not allowed here either, we just take the chance.

Though the usual autists that makes the "HIRO MADE IT A RULE META THREAD NAO" seems to not be behind this one.

Like I said, once the mod rules the general to be beyond saving, the topic is effectively forbidden.

Just talk about Hussie as an artist or his other works. The HSG autists will inevitably make it a homestuck thread.

Nobody is allowed one. That OP is misconstrued as a carte blanche whenever you want it thing, but Hiro only intended for them to be made at that specific time. That's why they get deleted and I'm pretty sure the people who make them know it.

/tg/ also doesn't have mods that are as bad as Sup Forums though.

hiro thinks meta is ok, but he doesn't deal with the nutcases 24/7 so he doesn't know better

it's much more complex than that and you can't just allow people to freely make threads because there's mentally ill kids crafty enough to craft narratives from vague statements and simple mistakes and make everyone believe the staff is evil

>simple mistakes
Right. Definitely has nothing to do with mods being utterly incompetent baffoons. Nope, it's not their fault. It's those "mentally ill".

After seeing what happened to Sup Forums after they banned generals I'm not so sure. The containment threads spilled put so bad that the runoff is pushing less popular stuff straight off the board. Even if you don't like the content shutting down everyone that does is just gonna make this place a worse shitshow

The staff is criminally incompetent. That is absolutely true, and for anyone trying to defend them, I challenge you to spend more than 5 minutes having a conversation with one on the IRC. Every single one of them is a petulant child with a chip on their shoulder.

Generals were an idea that pushed the decline of Sup Forums no matter the board generals are just bad ideas on this website since they all decay into something terrible

Regular threads are often just as bad.

Mods are global. There is no such thing as a board specific mod.

And this.

What about janitors?

I agree. Got banned once for posting one once. There were no other threads regarding the topic at the time. Kinda silly that we can't have comic/cartoons on a comic/cartoon board.

Why does South Park get two shipping threads? Even one thread that tried to avoid shipping ended up getting invaded by fujos. It's gotten ridiculous.

Didn't you people also just get a game, or something? Shouldn't that count for allowing a thread through?

Yep. Hiveswap came out on September 14th.

Not to mention Hauntswitch is on the way.

Or the random boob and cheesecake and raven threads stay up instead of getting moved to /aco/

>once the mod rules the general to be beyond saving, the topic is effectively forbidden.
The solution here is to shitpost every single topic, cartoon, and comic into the ground so no one is allowed to discuss anything on Sup Forums again. Which is the end result of "Man, cleaning this up is too hard, better just throw the whole thing in the trash and ban it."

I got a three day ban asking for clarification of the rules. At this point I honestly don't know what I can and can't post here, so I've stopped trying to follow the rules. If I get banned, oh well, reset router. It's just easier than trying to play "Mother may I?" with people who won't communicate.

We were specifically told over at Sup Forums, on sticky that was up for days, that generals were not ok. Maybe it's the same thing for Sup Forums and nobody gave enough of a shit to explain.

I'd be totally fine with No Generals if that meant we were allowed to discuss all comics and cartoons here again.

>This board has mods?
Yeah, nested 24/7 in the drawthread

The heck? The Sup Forums board became a lot less repetitive and boring when everyone was forced to at least change the content of the OP during the short little while when generals and template thread OPs were banished.
That alone made it good.

Jannys are board sensitive but they don't have the power to delete threads anymore (huge mistake) because people would make threads, delete them, and blame the jannies.

the same people who frequent a homestuck thread are certainly not the circlejerk that existed before.

That doesn't matter. This isn't the Quality Comics & Cartoons or Current On-Going Comics & Cartoons. Homestuck threads are still allowed here, no matter if the comic is over or if people don't like it.

Why can't we just get a general board like /vg/?

Ah, but you could use that argument to allow MLP on here, too.

MLP has a specific rule against it.

There is absolutely not enough content to justify that.

how to fix Sup Forums:
- prevent all automatic offsite archiving, make it all internal and based on a vote system, so only the best threads are archived and the bad ones are forever forgotten.
- reduce the thread image and post limits, so boards move faster now, and we don't have poor threads bumped for a week.
- enable public sage again.
- kill all the janitors who are not familiar with board culture, have their own agendas, or generally aren't moderating for the users themselves.
- make /qa/ relevant and actually useful, so we don't need meta threads.

If I didn't knew that was homestuck, I could mistake that pic for looking like an old Christian values lady hanging out with her Satanist grand daughter. I mean, that was what comes to mind on the first look.

Homestuck belongs in /trash/.

>falling for that myth
Yes, mods can technically answer any report from any board. I think there are a couple of exceptions like Sup Forums.

No, they do not keep tabs open for every single Sup Forums board expecting to monitor all of them. They're spread out, and certain mods have homeboards/preferred boards just like users. In a few select cases, INCLUDING AND ESPECIALLY Sup Forums, there was a mod who was basically "in charge" of the board and any issues or janitor's questions went to them. In Sup Forums's case for many years it was Redwood, and when he wasn't around, Alternative. Redwood was more of a capefag, and Alternative was a staunch pro-CN/anti-NickDisney cartoonfag. Also, no, Redwood never officially left the staff either to join the military or whatever, he was always only semi-active, but he has changed his IRC username multiple times because of the backlash he was receiving and because quite frankly he is a sensitive and egotistical faggot.

There are plenty of boards that move at a snail's pace and barely have enough content or visitors but that doesn't stop them from existing.

Threads on /ic/ stick around for months at a time.

Yes. Yes you could.

MLP absolutely should be allowed on here and it's asinine that it's not.

Fuck off. That will be the vast majority of users in response to your idea.

That will be literally one demented autist.

You are either from /mlp/ or barely if ever browse Sup Forums if you actually think that.

Whoever our current guy is really does not seem to like loli waifu shit. He's fallen for the anyone who likes 2D young girls is a child predator meme I guess.

But that's a discussion for another day, maybe. Y'all were talking about banned generals like Homestuck, etc.

I see people discuss those things quite regularly. Maybe not in the way you prefer, but they are talked about very often.

I'm sure that you're shocked that people on the comics and cartoons board enjoy a cartoon and comic, especially when the fandom started here, on the comics and cartoons board.

Why can't you just stay on /mlp/ and discuss it there? You have an entire board for it

Yeah, try having a thread about Out of Placers. Note that poster said "all cartoons and comics". There's more than a few webcomics that are banned because some janny doesn't like them. None of them actually break any posted rules.

>mods are not doing their job!
>mods are deleting muh porn and "fun"!
>mods are deleting muh furshit and forcing me to /trash/, instead of deleting porn and shitposts!
>mods are SJWs and only delete muh Sup Forums derail redpillz!
>mods are deleting muh general/circlejerk where we complain about how bad thing has turned!
>mods aren't deleting the circlejerks!
MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MIND

>Yeah, nested 24/7 in the drawthread

So it's the same as /aco/, haha.

>Sup Forums is one person
You're a silly goose.

I never said that
my point is that shit is contradicts itself too much
everyone claims that Sup Forums mods are shit, but noone can say why without someone else claiming there's some other shit behavior that directly contradicts that
at some point this mod shittiness has got to be 90% convincing ourselves that they are shit, and I don't want another gamergate situation

>Star Wars
I don't get it either
Most of the time they just talk about RLM shitposting or the movies, books, and videogames

They rarely touch the cartoons or the comics.

>cartoon gets new episodes
>people make a thread to talk about the new episodes
>thread gets deleted/moved to /trash/ because any cartoon thread without a super specific topic is a general now
>meanwhile Sup Forums baits, random shitposting, and some generals like the star wars general and the channel shit general are allowed 24/7
Is it too hard understand?

Delete porn and fetish threads
Delete generals
Delete Sup Forums threads
Delete Sup Forumsbait threads

In before this thread is deleted because mods don't like when you complain

>gumball has a new episode aired or leaked
>thread gets made
>deleted

This arises from too much ambiguity in the rules as written, or too much variation in the enforcement of said written rules.

There's no official rule against cartoon waifu threads, but one type of cartoon waifu thread may get deleted while another one does not. Sometimes threads about X cartoon/comic get deleted at certain times, other times they don't. Once again, there's nothing in the official rules that states they aren't allowed, it seems to come down to the capricious whims of the staff or who happens to be on duty at any given time.

Unspoken rules and arbitrary enforcement of "board culture" makes for a lot of confused people, user.

In all seriousness if there is one thing the mods do with all haste, it's delete threads that complain about how shit they are. Which shows that they CAN do their job, but choose not to.

now that's something that everyone should be able to agree on, instead of all this petty "mods are/aren't deliting this thing I like/don't like!" whining

Has it had any new releases?

Awful.

How there's isn't an general board of Sup Forums like how Sup Forums have but instead it goes into /trash/? Same with Sup Forums.

they seem to be permitted pretty much at random. some get auto-saged, some are removed as soon as they're posted and others, like this one, stay

The Mouse also owns Star vs. Yet a few months ago, some mod was deleting Star threads, even if it was the only one on Sup Forums at the time and even if it was on topic.

Are all furry cartoons and comics except for ducktales sent to /trash/?
They weren't forced to Sup Forums. Furry cartoons and comics were allowed here before. Has that all changed with /trash/?

sums up the main problem, there is no consistency in the moderation

Cartoons should go to Sup Forums and comics to /lit/ and then allow the rest of us to discuss the mcu in peace

Why do we even have moderators?

you do realize that Sup Forums doesn't operate like a hive mind of ultra hipsters like Sup Forums

the worst mod experience I have ever had was on /vp/ when it got raided a while back

It was a raid that lasted the entire night, and the mods were aware of it, they just actively ignored it. They actually deleted posts asking for the mod's help while leaving everything else up. When they finally got off their ass and did shit there were only 2 pages left

That's because on /tg/ they're primarily made to bitch about the existence of /qst/. Given the opportunity, there are those that will never stop fighting that lost battle, trying to drag as many things down with them as they can. So somebody has to shut them up, otherwise there will be no end to it, ever.

kek

>Move live-action capeshit discussion to Sup Forums al-fucking-ready

And that would help Sup Forums in what way? We'd still have the same threads of whatever is the current shitty tweened calarts cartoon, plus the win-o, the drawthread, two or three waifu threads, and the occasional storytimes.

>Furry cartoons and comics were allowed here before

That was so long ago I seriously doubt anyone in this thread or 95% of the board remembers that time. They were banned for a reason, all the shit about furries is 100% true. They bitch and moan about being persecuted but the mods are absolutely correct in pushing all that off the board.

reminds me of the Sup Forums raid way back 2012

It was probably a janny without enough privileges to nuke the entire board for shitposting.

We'd be rid of the worst reoccurring shit post threads on the board. All those asinine Rick and Morty threads? Those are Sup Forums cross posters. Not to mention the Sup Forums capeshit are also the absolute lowest quality threads on the board. Yea, banning them wouldn't clean the entire sewer but it would flush the worst of it.

make a /cog/ board.

they what?
We can't post Bugs Bunny or Mickey Mouse now?

Sup Forums NEEDS to go and if you disagree you don't give a shit about either comics or cartoons

That's not what I meant by furries and that was obvious. Looney Tunes threads definitely still happen.
