/vg/ needs a robot

a guest Sep 16th, 2015 4 Never
  1. (15:02:27) SerWind: /vg/ needs /r9k/ repost protection
  2. [...]
  3. (15:11:20) +andonuts: A lot of boards need that.
  4. (15:11:42) SerWind: /vg/ really needs it. Badly.
  5. [...]
  6. (15:15:20) SerWind: A few people have nothing to discuss anymore related to their topic so they just sit in the generals spamming the same shit instead of moving on
  7. [...]
  8. (15:27:47) SerWind: moot I implore you to consider repost protection in /vg/, at least for a little bit.
  9. (15:30:20) %RapeApe: SerWind, if you're getting overworked, just take a day or so off.
  10. (15:30:23) +andonuts: Fill out 1,000 recaptchas to make a request to j00t, as an offering.
  11. (15:31:06) SerWind: It's not about being overworked RapeApe, but when I first got access to the report queue it was br'ing for shitposting. Now 90 percent is reposting because people repost the same shit everyday
  12. (15:31:18) SerWind: everythread
  13. (15:31:36) %RapeApe: i don't mean to sound callous, but welcome to #janiteam
  14. (15:31:41) %RapeApe: the ride never ends
  15. (15:31:44) SerWind: lol
  16. (15:32:01) SerWind: /vg/ just seems like a place particularly prone to reposting for no other reason
  17. (15:32:06) %RapeApe: you need to learn to stop thinking as if garbage posts is a problem that can be *fixed*
  18. (15:32:12) %RapeApe: it can only be *managed*
  19. (15:33:08) SerWind: I think that's the second time you've told me that lol
  20. [...]
  21. (15:35:56) SerWind: RapeApe: https://images.4chan.org/vg/src/1361140511268.jpg
  22. (15:37:27) %RapeApe: precisely.
  23. (15:37:44) SerWind: hence the repost protection request because
  24. (15:37:51) SerWind: janitors won't stop that
  25. (15:37:57) %RapeApe: even with the #xkcd-signal algorithm, that won't stop.
  26. (15:38:18) %RapeApe: do you think it stops /r9k/ from posting feelguy?
  27. (15:38:39) SerWind: So they have to modify the image everytime they want to post. Sounds like a small "fuck you" at least
  28. (15:38:42) %RapeApe: 4chan doesn't have the computing resources to have content-based image recognition filtering.
  29. (15:39:14) %RapeApe: but the idea has been floated before
  30. [...]
  31. (15:40:20) %RapeApe: no. but technical solutions usually fail us
  32. (15:41:02) %RapeApe: filters and whatnot are easily evaded, and piss off those who can't evade them.
  33. (15:41:42) %RapeApe: trying to make them as unobtrusive as possible is a challenge
  34. (15:42:35) %RapeApe: it seems to me that the most successful effort we've had re: SC2 is the support of kpop on /mu/
  35. (15:43:14) SerWind: I'm not just speaking about sc2 generals though
  36. (15:43:15) SerWind: but yeah
  37. (15:43:32) SerWind: that helped for that general, a bit
  38. (15:44:10) SerWind: I see your points. But it's hard to say what effect it would have on /vg/ without trying I guess.
  39. (15:44:26) SerWind: Aside from the obvious
  40. (15:46:04) SerWind: /vg/ seems like a place that desperately needs a little more encouragement for peopel to explore other boards when they get tired of discussing the game their general is about
  41. (15:46:38) SerWind: Anyways
  42. (15:46:39) %RapeApe: there are things in the works, but right now we are sort of manpower constrained. be patient; good things are coming.
  43. (15:46:47) %RapeApe: sorry for being vague
  44. (15:47:26) +scrubadour: g... gold stars?
  45. (15:47:29) SerWind: Lol
  46. (15:47:35) SerWind: Now I'm excited.
