other highlights from 25th August 2012

(00:21:55) ‹+Bloom› /v/ has no bocu no pico, there aren't really many recommendation threads and usually they get on topic replies or people link them to the rec wiki

 

(02:18:06) ‹+duanemoody› when did the spoilered images lose uploaded filenames

(02:18:14) ‹+duanemoody› who thought this was a good idea

(02:18:25) ‹%dongfix› moot

(02:18:29) ‹+duanemoody› he's wrong

(02:18:36) ‹+duanemoody› it's not cute

(02:18:47) ‹+duanemoody› when does he get back

(02:18:52) ‹%dongfix› it is good

(02:18:56) ‹+duanemoody› no

(02:18:59) ‹+duanemoody› how is it good

(02:18:59) ‹%dongfix› you can hover over "spoilered image" to get the filanem

(02:19:05) ‹+duanemoody› wat

(02:19:07) ‹%dongfix› you can put spoilers in filenames

(02:19:30) ‹+duanemoody› nope

(02:19:39) ‹+duanemoody› is it a tooltip

(02:20:06) ‹+duanemoody› oh i see

(02:20:10) ‹+duanemoody› whatever

(02:20:13) ‹+duanemoody› ignore me

(02:21:44) ‹+duanemoody› oh wow /v/

(02:21:59) ‹+duanemoody› are we back to the days of "download this .gif and rename it"

 

(03:01:29) ‹+duanemoody› but i can't use 4chanX because dongfix says it fucks with his extension

(03:01:39) ‹+duanemoody› and i take his word for it

(03:01:42) ‹%dongfix› huh

(03:01:45) ‹%dongfix› no i don't

(03:01:47) ‹%dongfix› i say it sucks

 

(03:24:52) ‹+Bloom› and i just asked why /co/ and /a/ hate eachother since they are fans of the exact same medium just with different words to describe it

(03:25:05) ‹+Bloom› and someone had this image comparing FMA:B to Ben 10

(03:25:08) ‹+duanemoody› it's almost invariably a third party stirrying shit

(03:25:10) ‹+Bloom› as if thats an apt comparison

(03:25:13) ‹+duanemoody› "let's you and him fight"

(03:25:22) ‹+duanemoody› impersonating one party

(03:25:41) ‹+duanemoody› i really really doubt regulars on /a/ run over to /co/ to start "why is your medium shit" threads

 

This concerns IBs overall. What do we take from this? Do not listen to worthless trolls when discussing animation as a whole, I guess.

 

(03:32:09) ‹+Bloom› i've kind of given up trying to clear the summer out of /v/

(03:32:21) ‹+Bloom› its almost over so ive just been skimming and deleting really blatantly shitty stuff

[...]

(03:32:54) ‹+Bloom› mostly because i just get annoyed when i delete a genuinely shit thread that happened to mention a video game in it and then there are 20 /q/ threads about it

 

(03:33:00) ‹+Bloom› i dont like /q/ as much as it hought i would

(03:33:03) ‹+Bloom› in fact i think i hate /q/

(03:33:10) ‹+VCR_Working› i used to like /q/

(03:33:16) ‹+Bloom› i liked it for like 5 days

(03:33:17) ‹+VCR_Working› when it was helping out /jp/

(03:33:24) ‹+VCR_Working› then the naruto thing happened

(03:33:26) ‹+Bloom› and then it stopped being constructive

(03:33:30) ‹+VCR_Working› and everything went to shit

(03:33:49) ‹+duanemoody› let people complain

(03:34:12) ‹+duanemoody› for the love of god we now have a place to tell people to take their "my board sucks" threads

(03:34:57) ‹+Bloom› nobody listens when you tell them to go to other boards

 

(05:34:27) ‹+AoC› well, I guess it all comes down to what moot wants the site to be. 4chan doesn't need to have a space for every single thing, and it seems one of the topics that will never go in here is western drawn porn

 

(05:40:21) ‹+AoC› And I really wish our policy with ban evaders wasn't just "deal with it, let's not waste time" because this Pinkie Pie avatarfag is a goddamn pest

(05:41:40) ‹%kami`› yeah, it would be great if bans stuck

(05:41:41) ‹+duanemoody› could i see an example

(05:41:57) ‹+duanemoody› of pinkie pie avatarfag

(05:41:58) ‹%kami`› and I wouldn't have to babysit all the assholes that think it is fun to ban evade

(05:42:05) ‹%kami`› for the whole day

(05:42:10) ‹%kami`› because that is so much fun

(05:43:03) ‹+AoC› duanemoody http://archive.foolz.us/v/search/tripcode/%21DianeOECCA/order/desc/

(05:43:28) ‹+AoC› We know they don't even watch MLP, they just do it for jimmy rustling, which is super effective in /v/ due to ponies

 

(05:47:00) ‹+duanemoody› i suggested something to moot privately and his response was "we already use ban cookies" while ignoring the other two thirds of the idea

(05:47:54) ‹+AoC› I think the biggest issue is that we still treat the ban tool as the biggest possible punishment but it remains a trivial nuisance that takes seconds to evade. We have to escalate and catch up with the threats

(05:48:10) ‹+duanemoody› actually

(05:48:21) ‹+duanemoody› we're missing an opportunity

(05:48:26) ‹+duanemoody› we keep focusing on punishment

(05:48:31) ‹+duanemoody› and that's a mistake

(05:48:34) ‹+duanemoody› http://goo.gl/ldUXN

(05:48:41) ‹+duanemoody› read this, it's short

(05:49:17)  » Join: moots ‹moots@the.run›

(05:49:17)  » ChanServ ‹+qo› moots moots

(05:49:26) ‹+duanemoody› speak of the devil

(05:51:25) ‹+AoC› Good point.

(05:51:59) ‹+duanemoody› i don't think it's perfect but it's a compromise between creating accounts and present anarchy

(05:52:00) ‹+AoC› Reading this, I have to ask, how does it stop you from getting a new IP, clearing cookies and requesting a new, fresh 24hr pass

(05:52:30) ‹+duanemoody› it provides an additional layer of inconvenience, nothing more

(05:52:33) ‹+duanemoody› however

(05:52:49) ‹+duanemoody› as i pointed out, there is a reward for not shitposting

(05:53:08) ‹+duanemoody› if you insist on shitposting you have to work harder to keep posting

(05:53:27) ‹+duanemoody› right now the problem is that there is no disincentive

(05:53:41) ‹+AoC› longer passes and no captcha is indeed a good reward. I've said before that if you offer posters the chance to go back to no captcha they will do anything to get it

(05:53:41) ‹+duanemoody› because once you're back in you're on an equal ground with everyone else

(05:53:50) ‹+duanemoody› i didn't promise no captcha

(05:54:00) ‹+duanemoody› that's someone else's decision

(05:54:17) ‹+duanemoody› i would however say that the present implementation of captcha sucks because it can be easily cached

(05:54:23) ‹+duanemoody› that's google's fault

(05:54:27) ‹+AoC› sorry, I was mixing it with the 4chan gold idea being considered

(05:54:41) ‹+duanemoody› i automagically tune out anything with that picture

(05:54:47) ‹+AoC› well, being considered is a stretch

(05:55:10) ‹+duanemoody› the cornerstone of "Hall Pass" is that people who behave are rewarded, not just ignored

(05:55:30) ‹+duanemoody› 4chan has no carrot

(05:55:35) ‹+duanemoody› only a stick that's weak

(05:55:47) ‹+duanemoody› social media works off of social engineering

(05:56:05) ‹+duanemoody› hats, likes, that stuff's stupid but it works

(05:56:15) ‹+duanemoody› we don't do any of it because we're too cool

(05:56:19) ‹+duanemoody› well guess what

(05:56:20) ‹+duanemoody› we're not

(05:57:16) ‹+duanemoody› what i'm proposing isn't a fantastic or perfect system but it can be improved

(05:58:13) ‹+duanemoody› basing everything on IP bans is a self-defeating mechanism

(05:58:26) ‹+AoC› I do like it, but any attempt at changing the framework needs to be well polished in all aspects before being implemented, as to avoid the fiasco of the in-house captcha

(05:58:27) ‹+duanemoody› asking people to voluntarily create accounts is suicide

(05:59:07) ‹+duanemoody› honestly? 4chan is huge, if we talked to google why wouldn't they listen

(05:59:19) ‹+duanemoody› ask them to put expirations on captchas

(05:59:36) ‹+duanemoody› i understand why they'd be reticent given the secondary purpose

(05:59:48) ‹+duanemoody› but they can and do put those scanned words on multiple captchas

(06:00:10) ‹+duanemoody› they shouldn't want unexpirable captchas any more than we do

[...]

(06:08:28) ‹+duanemoody› it's not rocket science to create a captcha system

(06:08:52) ‹+duanemoody› the trick is to make it easy to use and difficult to exploit

(06:09:05) ‹+duanemoody› google ruined both of those

 

(14:06:53) ‹+fsdfdsf› You suck, why are you so mean nikka, I'm coming to your board to troll.
