  1. (03:10:11) VCR_Working: https://boards.4chan.org/q/res/362481 man
  2. (03:10:22) VCR_Working: i wish moot really would ban this dickass
  3. (03:10:25) VCR_Working: ah well
  4.  
  5. (14:43:04) +duanemoody: https://boards.4chan.org/co/res/44780873 oh geez
  6. (14:43:33) +duanemoody: ninty's rolling in money, why would they hand over a cash machine to disney
  7. (14:43:56) +duanemoody: wait, disney isn't buying nintendo
  8.  
  9. (15:48:53) +AoC: I think I'm done
  10. (15:49:03) +duanemoody: done?
  11. (15:50:44) +AoC: burned out. looking over the archive and reports and don't feel like getting involved in any of that mess knowing very well that we're not doing any lasting difference
  12. (15:51:12) +AoC: maybe a couple more weeks of not caring about meta will help
  13. (15:51:25) +WalterWhite: Just stop taking it so personally.
  14. (15:51:49) +WalterWhite: It's a vicious cycle we entertain.
  15. (15:52:14) +WalterWhite: But we do it because there are people that care about the boards.
  16. (15:52:28) +WalterWhite: It's just the idiots have a louder voice because they are who we focus on.
  17. (15:52:56) +WalterWhite: Everyone gets burned out.
  18. (15:53:01) +WalterWhite: We are only so big.
  19. (15:53:44) +WalterWhite: It's okay to feel tired, but don't quit. But if you must, be certain. And if that's not even what you were talking about when you mention "done" then ignore what I said.
  20. (15:54:13) +AoC: ignore I will then
  21. (15:54:18) +WalterWhite: <3
  22. (15:55:07) +AoC: I learned from last time. Quitting is like 1 hour of satisfaction
  23. (15:55:23) +AoC: followed by a year of regret watching the board race to the bottom
  24. [...]
  25. (15:58:26) +RapeApe9k: AoC, you need to have a change of philosophy
  26. (15:58:33) +RapeApe9k: we can't 'perfect' boards
  27. (15:58:52) +RapeApe9k: they aren't static things that we can fix and expect to have them stay the same
  28. (15:59:40) +RapeApe9k: the flow of shit never ends
  29. (15:59:44) +RapeApe9k: never, ever
  30. (16:00:30) +duanemoody: hey, what if instead of taking sabbaticals we just moved to other boards for a while
  31. (16:00:34) +RapeApe9k: since we can't stop people from posting garbage, all we can do is mitigate the damage to the experience that non-shitposting users have
  32. (16:00:53) +duanemoody: i have to go so i can't ruin this discussion worse
  33. (16:01:32) +RapeApe9k: so long as we can maintain a site that people still want to keep coming to, we have succeeded, regardless of how much rule-breaking shit is continually posted
  34. (16:02:32) +RapeApe9k: besides, the relative lawlessness and chaos of 4chan is part of what makes 4chan special
  35. [...]
  36. (16:05:52) +AoC: that's why I just need a few more days to rest. I know we can't overturn things and the best we can hope for is keeping entropy away for a couple more years
  37. (16:06:43) +AoC: I'm just tired and sad, specially knowing that anything I do will never amount to nothing
  38. (16:09:20) BluRay: maaaaaaan
  39. (16:09:31) BluRay: I know that feeling
  40. (16:10:43) +fsdfdsf: ;_;
  41. [...]
  42. (16:11:03) +RapeApe9k: >amount to nothing
  43. (16:11:08) +RapeApe9k: see, there's your trouble
  44. (16:11:19) +RapeApe9k: you're expecting something out of a mob of anonymous people
  45. (16:11:34) +RapeApe9k: they are going to do whatever the fuck they want
  46. (16:11:40) +RapeApe9k: you have no control over that
  47. (16:12:03) +RapeApe9k: all you can do is keep the shit from piling up so high that the mob disperses and the board dies
  48. (16:12:17) +RapeApe9k: sometimes that mob will produce something awesome
  49. (16:12:21) +RapeApe9k: that is your reward
  50. (16:14:13) +RapeApe9k: the thing is, is that you can't possibly predict when the nuggets of gold will appear in the river of shit
  51. (16:15:51) +RapeApe9k: sometimes it takes you completely by surprise. during the whole 'le lenny face' debacle, for instance, hundreds of people got banned for shitposting and we were all basically running wild trying to stop it
  52. (16:16:23) +RapeApe9k: but, i mean, such memetic inane crap *is what 4chan does*
  53. (16:16:44) +RapeApe9k: if this place was a factory, that's what we'd be producing
  54. (16:17:29) +RapeApe9k: stupid but absurdly catchy crap that runs the gamut of the moronic and repetitive all the way around to funny again
  55. (16:18:50) BluRay: lo
  56. (16:18:52) BluRay: l
  57. (16:19:11) +RapeApe9k: it's true, though
  58. (16:19:19) BluRay: it is
  59. (16:19:51) +RapeApe9k: the magic recipe that makes 4chan awesome includes a certain amount of repetitive annoying crap
  60. [...]
  61. (16:24:47) +AoC: Don't worry so much, just having a bad day. I'll probably be back up and joking around in no time
  62. [...]
  63. (16:25:48) +fsdfdsf: More great RapeApe9k posts from time to time pls
  64. (16:25:55) +RapeApe9k: huh?
  65. (16:26:09) BluRay: gununu
  66. (16:26:12) +fsdfdsf: That whole thing was kind of a moral boost for me
  67. (16:26:35) +RapeApe9k: ...
  68.  
  69. That means trouble for /v/ and /jp/ since this means one dedicated hotpocket gone. This speech however is another piece of the puzzle to RapeApe's success.
  70.  
  71. (20:21:50) ~moot: fyi
  72. (20:21:59) ~moot: users will be able to see the posts they were banned for
  73. (20:22:05) +duanemoody: good
  74. (20:22:06) ~moot: for templated bans
  75. (20:22:09) ~moot: which means every ban requested ban
  76. (20:22:11) +WalterWhite: :o
  77. (20:22:27) +duanemoody: do they see the reason text that's in the form or just a copy of it
  78. (20:22:30) ~moot: so be careful else you'll get a million people screenshotting their bans adn being mad
  79. (20:22:35) +duanemoody: ah
  80. (20:22:35) ~moot: what do you mean
  81. (20:22:43) ~moot: they see a reason like they always have
  82. (20:22:45) ~moot: they just also see the post now
  83. (20:22:52) BluRay: huzzah
  84. (20:22:58) +duanemoody: i mean, if that reason form field ever becomes editable again
  85. (20:23:03) ~moot: it wont be
  86. (20:23:10) ~moot: they're still all templated, and always will be
  87. (20:23:23) +duanemoody: i miss adding that personal touch
  88. (20:23:29) +duanemoody: oh well
  89. (20:23:35) +duanemoody: but thanks
  90. (20:23:39) BluRay: this is useful
  91. (20:23:55) BluRay: lol hmm
  92. [...]
  93. (20:24:27) ~moot: so long as people are doing proper bans/BRs, this should vindicate people from a lot of the bitching
  94. (20:24:35) BluRay: yes
  95. (20:24:57) BluRay: kind of sick of people playing dumb
  96. [...]
  97. (20:46:53) +RapeApe9k: moot, do you have a screenshot of the new ban available?
  98. (20:47:28) +RapeApe9k: no doubt this will cause a storm of meta, but it's for the best
  99. (20:50:35) BluRay: exploited by ban evades
  100. (20:50:41) BluRay: evaders
  101. (20:50:42) %kami`: indeed
  102. (20:51:30) +RapeApe9k: ban evaders are going to ban evade. they're going to shit the place up no matter what we do
  103. (20:51:56) +RapeApe9k: but regular posters are often really confused by the long delay between breaking a rule and the ban itself
  104. (20:52:11) +RapeApe9k: they forget what they posted, and think bans are arbitrary and random
  105. (20:52:25) +RapeApe9k: makes us look incompetent, and makes them angry and likely to lash out
  106. (20:53:00) +Beam: /q/ is gonna be booming with smartasses soon :(
  107. (20:53:15) +RapeApe9k: this solves that, even though the ban evaders are certainly going to have a field day with it
  108. (20:53:52) +duanemoody: https://images.4chan.org/co/src/1357616532244.png
  109. (20:54:00) +duanemoody: it's official, i suck at this
  110. (20:55:49) +duanemoody: seriously, we used to be cool
  111. (21:00:04) ~moot: autobans, thread bans, "other..." (no templated) bans, etc wont show the post
  112. (21:00:07) ~moot: only templated bans and ban requests
  113. (21:00:34) +duanemoody: thanks for clearing that up
  114. (21:01:21) +duanemoody: this is nice, more janitors would be more directly helpful for me, but i can't speak for others here
  115. (21:01:32) +duanemoody: again, good to give users feedback
  116. (21:05:37) ~moot: somebody BR something
  117. (21:06:39) +cisrulez: Done
  118. (21:06:48) BluRay: huehuehue
  119. (21:07:55) +AoC: sent a few
  120. (21:08:27) +AoC: was really waiting for this feature, things should be clearer for the end user a lot more know
  121. (21:08:31) +AoC: *now
  122.  
  123. (21:32:41) +cisrulez: If I may make a suggestion to system improvements, I would really like to see a button when I BR someone for "commercial spam" if that URL can be added to the spam filter database automatically/semiautomatically
  124. (21:32:50) +cisrulez: Similar to this prototype: http://i.imgur.com/yng5W.jpg
  125. (21:33:36) +cisrulez: Well I guess that prototype sucks but you get the idea
  126. [...]
  127. (21:41:16) ~moot: i doubt we'll automate adding URLs to the blacklist
  128. [...]
  129. (21:41:34) ~moot: it should be possible for more people to edit it at some point soon though
  130.  
  131. (23:04:45) ~moot: if nikka comes around tell him he's not fired, but i need to talk to him
  132. (23:04:55) ~moot: i disabled his account temporarily
  133.  
  134. (23:56:14) ~moot: alright
  135. (23:56:18) ~moot: the banned page is live
  136. (23:56:27) ~moot: be extra careful with BRs
  137. (23:56:36) ~moot: because now you'll never hear the end of it if you're over zealous
