There has been lots of trolling and a huge influx in gear threads in /p/ lately. The users speak out against the shitty posts, so I've been deleting, but it's evident that the users aren't using the report function.Could we get a sticky or at least a post by a mod or admin reminding them to report shitty posts? Would really help me keep the board better rather than having to go find the bad posts and report them to myself since the delete buttons aren't working.tl;dr Could a mod or admin plz tell /p/ users to use the report function?
Would it be possible for one in /x/ as well? I have the same problem with everyone complaining about shitty posts, but no one ever does anything to report them.
>>1170and /s/ too please!
OP here.. maybe it would be best if it was a news update under the post submission box like moot usually does.. that way it would be site-wide and wouldnt require a sticky or a mod post.
For the past few weeks now, there have been various roleplaying sorts of threads on /jp/, where the OP will create a thread and present the users with choices for the direction that the story should take, like a visual novel or a choose your own adventure book. Up until now, I've left them alone because they always concerned themselves with /jp/-related topics (mostly Touhou), but there seems to be a pretty big backlash against them now, and the threads only attract trolls and naysayers./jp/ is pretty young, and there really isn't a whole lot of policy in place yet, so I'm wondering how threads like this should be dealt with. On one hand, the threads concern themselves with /jp/ topics, but on the other hand, they are more games than they are quality discussion, and many users feel that the overabundance of these threads detracts from the quality of the board as a whole. Maybe these little games are better off on /b/ or /r9k/. If some mods could tell us how to handle these threads, that would be great. I'd also appreciate the input of /jp/'s other janitors. Thanks.
>>1133haha oops, I didn't mean to say "don't". I'm not a hick, I swear. Ah, I'm tired.
Personally, I would be willing to live with roleplay threads on /jp/ if they stopped spamming every thread asking "where is (author)?!" "(author) said he'd be here!" "when did (author) say he'd come?" That's what bothers me the most.Even if I personally hate the roleplaying threads, I can live with them. Much like I do the occasional threads full dollfie or kigurumi. It's the constant spam that I can't take.
I'd strictly vote against them given the chance. They can go to gaia or myspace for that shit. Roleplay just doesn't at all seem like imageboard appropriate content to me.
My sentiments on a problem like this is that it isn't a problem until the user base decides it is. If people are actually complaining now, it should be removed for the good of the imageboard, otherwise leave it.
No roleplaying on boards that aren't /b/.
How about some sort of hide/auto-sage button that lets the guy flooding a thread with porn think he's having a grand ol' time, while it goes unnoticed to everyone else? Plenty of these guys just start up more threads over and over again, and rather than having to babysit some asshole, this could buy some time before a mod can come over and ban him.
So Cloverfield is out now, and I'd rather not have to try and decide which of the 100 threads to keep and which to delete. A sticky to keep it all in would be great.
Yeah, one in /x/ would be helpful as well, since there's already about 20 on the first couple of pages.
I fixed the problem in /x/ by killing off some of the threads and letting them all funnel into one. It's all under control now. Don't really need an entire 2 pages worth of 1 topic.
Every time I hop on to /mu/, I find about an entire page worth of posts like "sup /mu/ requesting daft punk rapidshits" on the board. I delete and ban-request these posts for being requests outside of /r/ and for requesting copyrighted material, but there are even more posts like this the next day. I know that stickies are pretty rare, but I think that a simple one that says something like "Please stop making requests for music" would be really helpful, as it would educate many of the posters who clearly don't even know/care about the rules. The sticky would also probably motivate posters to report request threads in the future too.Thanks.
I'm running into the same thing on /s/. I delete them, as they are quite an obvious /r/, and it is reposted two or three times with one image and the "hey mod, this isn't an /r/!" but it is. I try to lurk /r/ as much as I can to answer inquries. The sticky at the top of the board was actually getting the job done quite well- but now that it's gone, the /r/s started up again right away
Ah yeah, I guess requests really are a problem everywhere. Perhaps it was selfish of me to just ask for a sticky on /mu/.>>1094/c/ seems to have a lot of veiled requests like "glasses thread GO!", where the OP posts one or two pictures, but then nothing else in the hope of getting his or her request filled. I tend to leave those threads alone because they almost always turn into a quality thread eventually with 50+ posts. I hope that is the right thing to do. I try to get rid of really obvious requests though.>>1095Lurking /r/ is a good idea and I bet that it helps things on other boards. Maybe I should start doing that. Of course, it won't fix things on /mu/, since requesting commercial music is always against the rules.
>>1096I don't really consider it a request if the OP actually contributes something. Even if it's just one or two posts.
>>1096>>1097I usually nuke the thread unless the OP posts more than 3 images, then I leave it...
>>1098Same.TBH I wasn't sure how to moderate these posts. Back not even 6 months ago it seemed like a fairly okay thing to do and the threads usually turned out just fine. I guess it's some sort of mass reform by a few posters, but considering the mass influx of requests, it's probably a good thing all the same.
After much thought and sticking around uselessly for far longer than I probably should have, I think it's about time I resign from this mess. I seldom look at my board anymore, much less enough to do more than check the reports.
Your wish is my command!
Is anyone else getting these linkshttp://en.thisbitch.info/?id=7fa938f55282d64738f80ef92a567923spammed on their boards, or am I the only one? I'm having one come up every 30 seconds and i'm curious. Seems to be another "click and get points" type site. It's actually a site that apparently installs viriuses on your computer and is completely useless.
yes it is a thing we are banning for and they should not appear on your boards.
I'm seriously tired of this shit, is there ANYTHING we can do to stop morons from continuously posting shit in /d/. I don't browse /b/ so I have no idea if they're provoked or not. Even if it were, /d/'s "attacks" on /b/ is like pissing in an ocean of piss, whereas /b/ floods /d/ off in 2 minutes.
Also, to reiterate, I'm leaving in 30 minutes and won't be able to jan properly til weds night.
As in subject, since no one answers my requests on the IRC channel, might as well post it here.For the past month, and maybe longer, this faggot has been shitting up /a/ and /v/ every goddamn day. Autobans are no use.All I can do is autosage his threads, since he'll just come back and post AGAIN.Once again, PLEASE BAN RUSSIA FROM POSTING.
Seems kind of severe to punish all of Russia just for 1 man.
I haven't been paying too much attention to these threads, but they seem to be developing an /i/nvasion-like tone. Taking pics of the guy at his school, plans to steal his "medallion", etc. How should these threads be treated?
I'd delete the ones that aren't obvious /v/ related (like this one), and any more invady-sounding ones (like "HERE IS HIS ADDRESS/EMAIL/PHONE NUMBER") you should banrequest.
Is there any way that we could see the reasons for previous ban requests on a reported post? There's an obvious difference between the penalties posting porn in a worksafe board and say, CP or something, and I'm kind of scared of a guy that posted that stuff only being banned for a day because of an unrelated offense.Picture unrelated.
So how do we deal with meme spamming? There's a lot of it going around in /x/, which is really pissing a lot of people off. I've been deleting the majority of it off the board, but a lot of people are still forcing it, much to the annoyance of the general userbase. Suggestions?
I janitor /x/ too the "is this paranormal" shit with some retarded /b/ image attached gets really annoying. For a week I deleted it, and it never stopped so I've just been throwing up banrequests since. It's helped.
People keep bitching about not having a place to put /e/, /u/, /y/, /h/, and /d/ wallpapers. I think they'd be fine in their respective boards and that /w/ is fine remaining worksafe, but these complaints are becoming more prevalent, so...In a recent thread (escalated at the time of this writing):"No, worksafe isn't the problem, the problem is that there isn't an alternative board for /e/ related wallpapers (other than just /e/) /wg/ complains about it being anime related, /w/ is still burichan, people don't actually think about having thread in /e/ for wallpaper./a/ isn't fagged up due to the worksafeness, just because it is /a/. Or rather, we are on 4chan, so fagged up by default.""Simple solution is to make /w/ non-worksafe.I don't know why the mods had the idea to have it worksafe in the first place.""because then it would just turn into a horrible hybrid of /d/ /u/ and /y/""So? Better than daily drama over it being worksafe.Allow /e/ wallpapers, but not /d/ or /h/ wallpapers. Simple as that, so it doesn't turn into another porn board."
if /w/ becomes nonworksafe nobody will ever post worksafe wallpapers ever again. nsfw /w/ = /h/ in 4:3.
/wg/ should just suck it up if they don't like anime-related images. It is a general wallpaper board after all. Even NFSW anime wallpapers fall under the category of "everything".
I don't understand why people so badly want wallpapers that are hentai.If /w/ becomes a nonworksafe board, I would have to leave it.
I don't see why we should have a board for NSFW walls. They should just be posted in /e/ or /h/. I've never had people complain in /e/ or /h/ that someone posted wallpapers. And if that's the kind of content they're interested in, then it's not really going out of their range of taste by posting in /e/ or /h/. Or /d/, or /u/ or whatever. We'd love the wallpapers there. Really. Much more than we love the 'pic unrelated' requests and /b/ leaking we keep getting.Besides, NSFW wallpapers are silly. Do people really want the first thing anyone sees on powering up their computer to be drawn pornography?
Since lucky star has become popular, i've been seeing a lot of loli pictures being posted repeatedly in /e/ and /h/. Since they used to be rare, i had always just deleted these, but given the frequency i think some bannings are in order. Do you agree? Is it alright if i start sending up ban requests on these people?
deletion should be the first choice, Ban Request for a flood of it in a thread, or on the board, or if a person is reposting after deletion.
I generally leave it. But recently, the userbase claims that by doing so, we are "unfair" because we would delete Yaoi if it showed up, so we should delete Yuri, too.I have always thought /u/ (as well as /e/) was just for people who don't like seeing cocks period, and that /u/ material is acceptable in /h/.What is the official take on this?
Meh, just delete it if it strikes your fancy. TECHNICALLY it shouldn't be there, but if it's going to take you more than a second to clean a thread that isn't a flame trap, just leave it or nuke the entire thread if it's nothing but baaawws is my philosophy.
I usually leave it, but if the thread fills up with bitching, I single out the main offenders and just nuke the thread from orbit. It only seems to be a handful of people who are sticklers for the rules who keep whining about it tbh, everyone else is just too busy fapping. Yes, technically, it shouldn't be there, but a) requests are more troublesome and more people hate those and b) most of the pics I've seen getting saged lately usually have vast quantities of spooge everywhere, barring them from /u/ anyway.
I think the fact is that nobody in /h/ is offended by /u/ content, just like /e/ content. But /y/ content is going to offend most people looking for /h/.
