  1. (10:28:05) ‹+RapeApe9k› right now r9k is stagnant as FUCK
  2. (10:28:14) ‹+RapeApe9k› >tfw no gf x99999
  3. (10:28:23) ‹+andonuts› A lot of boards are complete shit.
  4. (10:28:42) ‹+andonuts› You just have to hope that the users change their shit, and get creative once again.
  5. (10:28:45) ‹+RapeApe9k› yes. the motivation for volunteering to do this job is to change that.
  6. (10:29:18) ‹+RapeApe9k› if i accept that the board will be irreparably horrid, then why am i bothering?
  7. (10:29:40) ‹%kami`› like real life janitors, you clean up shit, but you can't stop people from shitting in the toilet
  8. (10:29:58) ‹+andonuts› Or on the walls, in the case of boards like /r9k/, /sp/ and /mu/.
  9. (10:30:08) ‹%kami`› if you've had enough shit then that's up to you
  10. (10:30:16) ‹+RapeApe9k› i'm getting there
  11. (10:30:52) ‹%kami`› welp
  12. (10:31:01) ‹%kami`› you don't seem very open to my advice
  13. (10:31:18) ‹+RapeApe9k› Subject: FUCK YOU MODS I DARE YA
  14. (10:31:27) ‹+RapeApe9k› they love me
  15. (10:32:48) ‹%kami`› this is the ultimate test for all janitors
  16. (10:32:59) ‹+RapeApe9k› kami`, it's not that i don't appreciate you giving me advice, it's just that there's nothing rewarding about this any longer
  17. (10:33:01) ‹%kami`› if you survive long enough, you reach this stage
  18. (10:33:15) ‹+andonuts› But is it your final form?
  19. (10:33:16) ‹%kami`› if you can't adapt then its the end of the line
  20. (10:33:41) ‹+RapeApe9k› boards about a specific interest can still be rewarding, because the janitor must obviously enjoy that interest
  21. (10:33:49) ‹+RapeApe9k› but r9k has no topic or interest
  22. (10:33:52) ‹+RapeApe9k› it's just crap
  23. (10:34:03) ‹%kami`› why did you choose it then if you don't like it
  24. (10:34:11) ‹+RapeApe9k› it wasn't this bad
  25. (10:34:20) ‹%kami`› its always been bad
  26. (10:34:27) ‹+RapeApe9k› not this bad
  27. (10:34:30) ‹%kami`› take off your rose tinted glasses
  28. (10:34:32) ‹+RapeApe9k› the craigbot killed it
  29. (10:35:36) ‹%kami`› I'm going to give you 3 options and then I'll go back to studying
  30. (10:35:42) ‹%kami`› 1. you can quit
  31. (10:35:44) ‹%kami`› 2. you can adapt
  32. (10:35:51) ‹%kami`› 3. you can ask moot to change your board
  33. (10:36:16) ‹%kami`› ok back to studying
  34.  
  35. (13:19:48) ‹+AoC› there's something weird about 4chan turning 9
  36. (13:20:33) ‹+AoC› I have now been here for 2/3 of it. Remember being so scared of it at the start
  37.  
  38. (14:37:57) ‹+AoC› >standard dubs/GET ban is 1 day length
  39. (14:38:01) ‹+AoC› oh, this is bullshit
  40. (14:39:15) ‹+yournamehere› can't ban everyone for too long
  41. (14:39:16) ‹+AlBorland› a lot of the bans are 1 day
  42. (14:39:24) ‹+yournamehere› then longer bans lose meaning
  43. (14:39:51) ‹+AoC› any ban is meaningless at this point, everyone evades anyway
  44.  
  45. (14:43:40) ‹+AoC› I really believe we need to rethink the current ban system since it's going nowhere. Specially now that things are more vague for the end user and we have more accessibility to request more. Show the content of the post and the number so they can check it by themselves in the archives. The ideal is to educate people and show them the error of their ways and why they're harming the boards with their bullshit.
  46. (14:44:18) ‹+AoC› As it is, they just consider it as arbitrary bullshit decisions that should be ignored. Like turnstiles at a subway station
  47. (14:48:18) ‹+horsemilk› Yes. There are many problems with the way we deal with bans and janitoring.
  48. (14:48:55) ‹+horsemilk› We ought to have the option to leave a predefined message when we delete a post/image; the message would just state the rule the post violated.
  49. (14:49:26) ‹+horsemilk› If an entire thread is deleted, visiting that thread's page should likewise optionally show the reason.
  50. (14:50:45) ‹+Kyoubro› Agreed, AoC. It's most important to demonstrate to the AVERAGE POSTER what is okay and what is not okay, and for what reason. That's why I feel like public bans are the most potent and also the most underused weapon in our arsenal.
  51. (14:58:14) ‹+WalterWhite› Depends. Public bans often just derail threads to no end. Making the public ban kind of pointless rather than giving a person a silent ban and keeping/saving the thread.
  52. (15:02:20) ‹+RapeApe9k› moot said yesterday that he wants us to ban request fewer things, so i'm not sure if he'd be in agreement with beefing up the ban system
  53. (15:02:44) ‹+AoC› he said we were clogging up the system with too many requests
  54. (15:03:21) ‹+AoC› and to have looser standards since there were plenty of things that should have gotten just deleted
  55.  
  56. (15:42:12) ‹~moots› i've never seen big bang theory
  57. (15:42:14) ‹~moots› but it seems horrible
  58. (15:42:46) ‹+WalterWhite› I lost all hope when my mom actually started watching it. I guess it comes on after Wheel of Fortune/Jeopardy or something.
  59. [...]
  60. (15:45:39) ‹+AlBorland› moots: all you need to know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfFd_wOQsGQ
  61.  
  62. Video is gone, kek.
  63.  
  64. (19:44:57) ‹+fsdfdsf› >Make a video game thread
  65. (19:45:01) ‹+fsdfdsf› >Get told to go to /v/
  66. (19:45:08) ‹+fsdfdsf› >Ask for recs instead
  67. (19:45:11) ‹+fsdfdsf› wow
  68.  
  69. (21:54:48) ‹+Bloom› >legitimate thread about upcoming jrpgs
  70. (21:54:58) ‹+Bloom› >cleared report and it gets reported again
  71. (21:55:02) ‹+Bloom› fuck you /v/
  72. (21:56:01) ‹+Bloom› can someone still re-report a thread if they've reported it and the report was cleared?
  73. (22:00:10) ‹+Beam› yeah
  74. (22:00:55) ‹+fsdfdsf› They do it all the time on /a/ trying to get me to delete things
