Yea Forums meta meta thread

Reporting the thread doesn't guarantee that the jannie will take it down. I could literally go and report almost half of the threads currently on this board at, if I'm lucky, only maybe two will get (eventually, maybe, probably not) deleted.

I mean, people could also report posts that are low-effort and off-topic. I don’t see what’s stopping them other than laziness

Every time they try and talk about literature they embarrass themselves and get outed as a non-reader. Bitching about "the state of the board" is a safe larp and they get to pretend to be enlightened and better than everyone else.
Report, shift-click, move on with your life.
Most people realize that deleting low effort threads or even off topic whole sale will not cause them to get replaced by high effort on-topic threads, they will just be replaced by more low effort and off topic threads. Getting them all would require full time paid janitors and would destroy a big part of what makes Yea Forums unique.

The better question is why mods don't perma ban the people who make off-topic and low-quality threads and posts. Since I'm more than certain its all the same people doing it.

>Every time they try and talk about literature they embarrass themselves and get outed as a non-reader.
No shit. People who actually read were driven out by the low-effort and off-topic threads and posts.

Ignoring context so you can wave your flag is about as low effort as it gets, but thanks for proving the point for me.

Does anyone actually use Yea Forums in 2022?

Also a lot of you youngsters forget Yea Forums was created at the behest of r9k anons

I'm sure you'll defend this somehow.

That’s just the current state of Yea Forums.

I know what you mean, OP. It's surprising that the jannies and mods just let it happen without doing anything about it. Hell, one of the generals that I go to has a spammer that does nothing but low quality shitposts every single thread. I don't even know how he hasn't been ban yet. Just boogles the mind.

>Just boogles the mind.
What really boogles the mind is how many people do not seem to realize that it is essentially impossible to ban someone from Yea Forums since all that can be banned is IP and most people have dynamic IPs. They can do a range ban but that will often also ban many bystanders, so they are last resort and only left in place long enough for the trouble maker to loose interest.

>and most people have dynamic IPs
No they don't.

If you're a phoneposter just turn airplane mode on and off. If you're on a desktop just restart your router or whatever you gotta do.

I think cross posters from other boards looking to snag fast upvotes with their ebin baits also land here and are surprised at the one post per minute average on this board. So they leave up bad threads which would normally 404 in 20 minutes and then we have a bad thread that goes on for days.

>reportfagging and making meta threads
kek, Yea Forums was completely unmoderated for years. it's fucking hilarious you want the mods to discern what is Yea Forums. i don't think Yea Forums even has a dedicated mod. consider reading a book if you want good oc

nice take. how do we make it better?

A lot of them are zoomers who don’t care about old posting etiquette, or actually having discussions or even just shitposting. They come here simply for reviving validation from (you’s) and feeling like they are apart of their own little group. Post quality be damned, what matters is feeling included.

Yea Forums doesn’t even resemble its former self anymore. It’s all porn. With a few actually random posts and maybe a drawthead.
>/lit was created at the behest of r9k anons
Huh, I’ve never heard about this. Do you happen to know how that went down?

you literally can't. there is nothing you can do to make the board better.

the gayest opinion imaginable. people like you are the second biggest cause of why the world sucks so much. opinion discarded.

not this user. whats the biggest cause of why the world sucks so much?

>high quality
>christian threads
KEK

you will live to see your hopes dashed, your efforts frustrated, and everything you work for come to naught, you will see your lofty aspirations humbled in the face of the immersive weight of the world. and when that days comes, you will return to me, and being of like opinion, we will have the gayest sex imaginable.

Is this the Our Lady of the Flowers reading group?

Cause is probably the wrong word, the cause would be the thing that is happening. I am talking about the types of people allow bad thing to happen. the number one are apologists that see the bad thing as a good thing and try to rationalize and defend the bad thing. the second are the impotents, those that know something is bad but allow it to continue and discourage others from doing anything about because "no individual is capable of doing anything about it." That may be true but a group may be able to do something and groups are created by individuals thus individual action is needed (which is only one obvious refutation of this kind of thinking). the third worst are those that enact the bad thing. that may seem like a weird order but the truth is that the perpetrators are far fewer than their apologists and impotent masses and they are generally well known and thus are easier to target for corrective action.

if I am going to be crushed it will be the end of me, making our union necrophilia.

People don’t report spammers and other low-effort shit.

>the world sucks become some people understand that what sets Yea Forums apart from the rest is mob rule
Only way Yea Forums can be 'fixed' is if Yea Forums starts requiring accounts. Why do you want to turn Yea Forums into reddit?

not interested in making accounts. I think we as users can do more to make shit posting less appealing. the best thing I can think of is reporting shit threads without relying in them while creating and participating in quality threads. This idea that the quality of this forum is solely in the hands of mods is the kind of impotent thinking that keeps things shitty (sustains the status quo).

How effective would sage-posting be?

*replying in them
fucking phone posting

i like the idea but it still gives them yous which i think is all these people want any way so I would stick to just no post report.

People here seem to rarely, if ever, report.

Because they think reporting is bad, even if someone is just blatantly spamming or making low-effort shit.

Plus a lot of the instigators come from the wild west boards where stealth off topic threads can come and go before a mod or janitor sees the report. Sometimes you can even get a few posts off before it dies. So then you have a slow board (lit) that has slower moderation and then the board gets clogged with shit threads that way too.

>not interested in making accounts.
Never said or even implied that you were, you have poor reading skills. Personally I find anons who ignore context to be a bigger issue.

Do you have any comprehension of what the board is on the whole? Have you not noticed that the board takes a dive in quality after meta threads since they are pretty much how to manuals for trolls and angry anons with nothing in their lives start posting "not literature" or "stop making low effort posts" in every thread they disagree with even if they are literature and good topics?
Sage for this use is beyond pathetic, you know they will respond to you and just bump the thread anyways, but secretly you want the (You) and you want people to see your opinion on the topic and would be thrilled if the tread got derailed and became about your post and will rant about the mods deleting it in /wwoym/ when the thread gets deleted.

the bigger part of it is just not bumping shit threads with complaints. let them die and give the OP nothing. its not fun to post anything at a blank wall. we also should probably stop posting complaint threads since that feeds shit posters (bad ones. some shit posts are effort and fun) while also distracting us in participating in quality threads.

I will never understand this mindset, especially if they complain about the state of Yea Forums. They can at least do the bare minimum if they care.

>So then you have a slow board (lit) that has slower moderation and then the board gets clogged with shit threads that way too.
I don't think Yea Forums has slow moderation, I just think few people report things that jannies and mods don't think it's an issue until someone blatantly breaks global rules.

>Only way Yea Forums can be 'fixed' is if Yea Forums starts requiring accounts
Sorry I guess I just thought you replying that to a person suggesting that lit be 'fixed' implied you thought that is what I wanted. I 100% agree with you about the meta threads btw. see

That is what I mean about context. Only way we will not have a poor signal to noise ratio is if we make Yea Forums into reddit and why would anyone want that? Being able to shitpost and make low effort threads is what makes Yea Forums what it is, it is mob rule and chaos is always close by.

I think you should come up with another fpbo one liner like you or one of your butt buddies did to try and save your last maybe salvagable literature forum on the internet.
Surely that will work.

do you really believe low effort shit posts are what make this place great? I always thought it was the high quality shit posts, ability to insult one another when something stupid is said and the lack of wrong think policing (when it comes to actual ideas, not reeeing uncontrollably).

>do you really believe low effort shit posts are what make this place great?
Again, context. Seriously people, work on your reading comprehension. I did not say that it made Yea Forums great, or that Yea Forums was great, I said they make Yea Forums what it is. Great and unexpected things sometime result from a shitpost, on other forums that never gets a chance since they just get deleted. You go back to the early days of Yea Forums and the biggest difference is that people rolled with the punches, they exploited and used the shit threads for good fun instead of just getting angry about them, this is a source of a large quantity of our old memes and why we actually had memes, we had fun. Now our memes are just 'incel' or 'coomer' or 'trad cath larper,' they are just anons being angry and attacking other anons, no more fun allowed on lit.
>I am a serious intellectual and my academic studies are very serious things and I take myself very seriously because these are very serious things and if you would jusst take a moment to seriously consider these serious things I have to say you would see that i am your intellectual god, seriously.
Yea Forums seriously needs to lighten up and learn to have fun again.

eh fuck it. you're right. lit isnt and never was about discussion of literature. it was and is about shit posting and sometimes there is a reference to literature. This is a place for lighthearted fun making. if anyone actually wants a place to actually talk literature they should look else where. /thread

What an idiotic post.

Yeah, man, who gives a shit of this board if falling apart, we shouldn’t do anything about it because spammers and shitposters are ruining for the rest

>most of the earth is inanimate matter therefor the earth is not for life and you should just kys
?
Do you have any comprehension at all?

>Now our memes are just 'incel' or 'coomer' or 'trad cath larper,' they are just anons being angry and attacking other anons, no more fun allowed on lit.
I think this is a site problem more than a board specific problem, too. I think based has been around since at least 2012 but 2016 and onward in particular has reduced the value of shitposts from cleverness to itty word bytes you try to cram as much pwnage into as possible. It's discouraging on fast boards where you try to effortpost and it's ignored for the 37 reply post that just says "cringe". Here at least it has the pace to discourage that. It's even in the sticky to write out thoughtful posts.

your analogy is garbage but lets take it seriously for a second. what did people do when they realized that the earth was not optimal for human life (literature discussion)? did they accept it and kill themselves/ die out? or did they devise methods to make it more habitable (facilitate better quality discussion)?
>no but I want a desolate wasteland full of nothing because the alternative is trannys
there is a middle ground that I think is worth working towards.

>It's discouraging on fast boards where you try to effortpost and it's ignored for the 37 reply post that just says "cringe".
this is why the other part of the solution is to participate and start quality threads, encourage quality with yous while discouraging bullshit with silence and reports.
