/b/ was a mistake!

a guest Dec 15th, 2015 79 Never
  1. (15:39:52) +Spitch: I think I can define a big problem if you're willing to listen guys:{
  2. (15:40:21) +Spitch: A general problem
  3. (15:41:46) +McNuggets: I always listen
  4. (15:42:02) +Spitch: So typically when you're introduced to 4chan, it's through /b/
  5. (15:42:47) +Spitch: In late 2005 (Or 2006 I can't remember) my friend showed me /b/
  6. (15:43:35) +Spitch: It gives off the impression, "Anything goes, Hilariously funny off color shit etc"
  7. (15:43:44) +Spitch: So you associate that with b, and b with 4chan
  8. (15:43:57) +Spitch: People don't realize, that's b, that's not the rest of the site.
  9. (15:44:19) +Spitch: They feel that you should be able to post whatever for lulz on any other board, when we in fact have specific topics and rules
  10. (15:44:36) +Spitch: If you want garbage, go to b, if you want to discuss food, go to ck
  11. (15:44:53) +Spitch: People can't grasp this though, and it's only the retarded denizes of b
  12. (15:47:04) +AoC: "why am I banned for saying 'nigger'!? This is 4chan you faggots, freedom!" is what you're saying. Doubly so know that people avoid /b/ due to extreme shittiness perpetuated by the steady flow of newcomers that just parrot what they see there. So they head to the outer boards, looking for novelty but still treating things as loose and relaxed, which is actually good, 4chan is always about fun over stiffled discussion, but when the 'fun' starts to
  13. (15:47:04) +AoC: come at the cost of the board itself is when we have to step in and keep things relevant so that we still have a decent place to talk and mess around with in peace in a couple years
  14. (15:47:29) +fsdfdsf: In many ways, many of the boards here are similar to /b/ yet different. All the boards have their own communities and unspoken rules. I think /b/ has failed in teaching people to lurk before posting these last few years. But hey the site got huge so what can you do.
  15. (15:47:58) +AoC: Our biggest problem is of course that people want the atmosphere of /b/, but can't put up with its current situation, which I'd sustain is the logical conclusion to 9 years of loose "anything goes" moderation
  16. (15:48:04) +Spitch: I first found /b/ in late 2005, I didn't make a post until 2007
  17. (15:48:23) +Spitch: lol
  18. (15:48:36) +fsdfdsf: First post I ever made was in 07
  19. (15:48:42) +fsdfdsf: and the first time I ever visited the site
  20. (15:48:52) +fsdfdsf: I heared about the site in 06 from a friend though
  21. (15:49:17) +scrubadour: saying nigger won't get you banned unless you're being a real smartass about it
  22. (15:49:49) +scrubadour: there are not many situations where you'd say "nigger" and not be a real smartass
  23. (15:50:15) +AoC: I think its the same distinction as the casual faggot and the hateful faggot
  24. (15:50:57) +scrubadour: 4chan: Casual Racism
  25. (15:51:23) +scrubadour: most people don't give a fuck
  26. (15:51:42) +scrubadour: just don't be an asshole
  27. (15:52:17) +fsdfdsf: "So there's an American, a spic and a black person" "Nigger" "right, that's what I said"
  28. (15:53:39) +scrubadour: here's another caveat: we try to encourage high-quality posts, but rarely is racism high-quality
  29. (15:53:42) +scrubadour: usually it's just insults
  30. (15:54:02) +fsdfdsf: We need more racism of gentlemen posts
  31. (15:54:03) +fsdfdsf: Indeed
  32. (15:54:12) +fsdfdsf: high time
  33. (15:54:23) +scrubadour: that would probably be a funy thread
  34. (15:54:38) +fsdfdsf: It would be
