Enjoy your stay, anon.

To be honest the guy spamming his YouTube channel, is actually trying to make people draw and accept challenges and have their 15 minutes of fame on the internet and it's something fresh on this board.

The wanna be Basquiat guy is really annoying

>>4353612
pyw fag

>>4353612
No one cares fag.

>>4353612
AZN dude isn't really that bad. The other guy you're talking about and that one retard spamming threads about weeaboos and muh culture have got to go though.
It'd be nice to have illastrat banned too so that maybe he'll learn to stop spamming his crap and post in /trad/ like he should, but that's just wishful thinking.

Almost forgot that one asshole that signs his work as MTP keeps making pointless threads too.

youtube anon is great, some actual content on this garbage board and tries to help people

still, your point remains. this place is compelte garbage and it starts with the sticky. there were excellent threads made in the past how to improve it and resources linked, yet nothing has changed.

>>4353612
First of all we need to carpet bomb the /b tier shit
>Wojak threads
>Pepe threads
>Muh artist gf threads
>Muh artist friends thread
>How do i draw like this thread
All this shit needs a purge

>>4353612
IC went downhill ages ago anyway.I just come here for the free courses and for the memes

>>4353684
the sticky is good enough as is, let’s not fuck that up with how to draw manga book #27483. don’t fix what isn’t broken and focus on what is, like the general lack of any moderation whatsoever. I don’t want an overmoderated board but ffs retards won’t stop bumping useless threads so they need to be deleted.

>>4353693
Just on /ic i would have absolutely no problem with overmoderation.
Somebody needs to drop all those bans

>>4353693
the sticky is outdated
it still has its worth and plenty of resources, but it also needs to be revised, at the very least change/delete the dead links

>>4353612
This happens because not enough people report these threads. Simple as that.

Now please stop opening dumb threads.

>taking ic this seriously

>>4353718
I report almost every one of them and nothing ever gets done fuck you >>4353720
there are no good art forums left, what’s wrong with wanting to work with what we have and make it a little better?

>>4353612
this, seriously. its been really bad lately. Illustrat MTP and that other black guy with the shitty dolls as well as that autist who spams dozens of literal scribbles. the obnoxious attentionwhore chink. it seems like every other thread besides the generals is a /beg/ shitpost. there is NO moderation anymore

>>4353731
Not enough people as in not enough people report A thread. If just one person reports it obviously they aren't going to do anything about it.
Again, stop opening dumb threads, retard.

>>4353734
and that's a good thing!

>>4353720
And I was told by the anons here that /ic/ is the best art community when they are actually worse than tumblr, kek.

>>4353735
I didn’t “open” the thread retard. you’re insufferable and pedantic and there are no mods here and that’s the problem, eat shit

>>4353735
a board this slow and the mods still cant pay attention long enough to delete spam and have to rely on a slurry of reports? sounds fishy.

>people are actually drawing instead of crying and complaining

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY, ASSEMBLE THE CRAB COUNCILS

>>4353787
We're talking about the spammers crapping up the board because no one is doing anything about them. Reading comprehension, what is that?

>>4353787
and so you type out a shitpost and find a google image instead of drawing. great job

>>4353790
*Snib snab* Yes, yes well said my fellow minister. I concur: there should be no more drawing done on here, and threads encouraging drawing should be banned! Any other suggestions?

>>4353792
Drawing is outlawed during the Crab Council!

>>4353787
>>4353794
>>4353798

>>4353815
no anime allowed weeb

>>4353817
no!

>>4353787
Shilling your shitty youtube channel =! drawing

>>4353787
>>4353794
>>4353798
>>4353815
he did the meme again

>>4353825
Indeed, indeed, indeed! We shall assume that anyone who opposes us is one specific person with some interest that we don't like! That is genius!
>>4353826
Don't make fun of your fellow crab council members, it's disrespectful.

>>4353831
Your channel shilling would unironically be more appreciated on reddit. Posting on 4chan doesn't make you look cool or edgy, it just reveals how autistic you are.

>>4353841
Ah yes, yes, the strategy, here I go...

Stop causing drama to make noise for your youtube channel! Everyone can see what you're doing, you're attacking yourself so that more people take time to check your youtube channel! Get out of here, shill!

>east v west thread
>talent thread
>"how do I draw this guise?" thread
>self pity thread
>anons venting outside the designated venting thread
>crabbing after any post- not even criticism just retard-tier hostility
this board is worse than I remember.

>>4353849
Thanks for helping keep the thread alive, the mods need to see this

>>4353853
the crab council must survive, it is ordained

Usually, around a certain hour on any of the blue boards, a jaintor will clean up rule-violating threads or is just generally around more. But because /ic/ is a red board, I wonder if that's why it gets either minimal to no moderation? Id rather keep the nsfw, but does that idea hold any credence?

This is a creative board.
We are allowed to run free.
Now get back to work you lazy cunts.

>>4353956
Yeah, no. Now that my work will be stolen for some faggot to farm clout theres no reason to post work here.

>>4353961
there was never a reason to post your art here even 5 years ago.ngmis giving critiques doesnt make you get better

>>4353970
Worthless critiques are fine when they aren't literally stealing my shit

>>4353978
so stop posting, nobody gives a fuck

whatever happened to jimmy or whoever that one fag with the shitty painting was? Did he get banned?

>>4353978
I'm a new here, what's the deal with that stealing stuff? When that has ever happened?

Mods dont even show their work..

>>4354082
i hope he OD'd

>>4354086
>>4353537

>>4354065
No, I think I'm going to keep complaining so you keep seething and something gets done.

You cocksuckers that go about reporting shit that you don't like are the same faggots that are complaining about these shitpost threads? Well done cockmonglers, you managed to get the attention of at least one incompetent mod that cannot tell whether the content that is posted here is outside of /b/ or not and as a result people that contribute to others end up getting penalized meanwhile these threads which you got a bloody hemorrhoid from continue to run rampant. Well done you fucking retards.

>>4354123
Cry more pedo

>>4354123
haha owned

>>4354107
rage more

>>4354153
Seethe, cope, dilate, etc

i just want the chinck and that one black banned

>>4354168
good dog

>>4354123
>posting the garbage that got you banned
yikes

>>4354107
Nothing will get done, just go away

>>4354192
>>4354200
You cant stop me :)

>>4354226
I don't plan on it

>>4353612

How are mods chosen at the Entmoot? Isnt there a certain time of year when they do that?
I never really paid attention to the dates.

>>4354239
They only choose janitor from time to time. Most mods nowadays are mentally ill trannies or are paid shills, I would post the mods IRC screenshots to prove it, but I don't want to get banned today

>>4354246
Even a janny would be a welcome change, I think. I've got 52 hidden threads right now, and its just irritating to wait for them to die off. If someone could just get rid of the ancient stuff and the detritus, I would be satisfied.

> Most mods nowadays are mentally ill trannies or are paid shills
Damn, that sucks. But I dont disbelieve you, based on what Ive seen in the past few years.
Im still mystified on how this place gets any revenue. Even Moot was never able to pull it off.

>>4354259
The new jap owner made his money by selling 2ch user's information and banning random people to force them to buy passes to get around the bans (and selling all the informations like name, address and credit card information), he is probably doing the same here

>>4353612
I've been here for only 4 months and even I have seen the quality go downhill
The chinese guy is not a bad dude but he is advertising his shit using the board, which is against the rules.

My own polemic opinion is that the board should be clearly split between digital fags and trad fags, but that's only a dream

>>4354269
Jesus Christ. I remember seeing screencaps from 2ch warning about these types of behaviors, but I had no idea they were that extensive.

>>4353612
Meh, the fag shilling his YT channel is miles better then that 1 pathetic fatfag who used to hijack threads with Nazi OPs but then immediately gave up and just plain obnoxious people like Malaysia and N*sebro.

>>4354294
community not big enough to split

digital/trad stuff overlaps so much as well, so i don't see the point

What a whiny little baby, no one cares fag.

I know it's always brought up and nothing ever happens but

Can we all just fucking emigrate somewhere else?
/ic/, 4chan as a whole gets worse each year, there's not many good artists on this board anymore, the moderation is lower than it's ever been in its history and shitposting is up tenfold

You can't even make a proper thread anymore without it getting ruined by some shitposter.
Any serious discussion or study thread is not possible in the current climate of this website


We need to establish a new location to be the hub of artistic discussion and learning on the internet that has all the benefits of /ic/ while eliminating the problems it has developed in recent years
It needs to be
>free
>stable network
>actively moderated by suitably qualified people
>be large enough to produce a quality environment for discussion and studying

>>4354432
facebook

>>4353612
petitioning to ban grafitti-fag

>>4354432

I remember back when /x/ tried moving to a new board in 2008. It was a huge mess and the flooders and shitposters stayed on the board months after most of us had left.

What format would be used? Something like the DAD website with a forum attached?

>>4354432
You ask the world to give you the impossible.

>>4354752
who? if its that one black guy spamming i agree

>>4353612
I bet most of the posts praising that shitty YouTube channel is the yt shill himself. I'm just going to start reporting every new "draw this in my style thread" and YouTube shilling post for " begging for free work" or "advertising" at this point.

The reason these threads stopped happening the last time is because people started making them to get anons to draw their OCs or Waifus for free instead of begging for it in drawthreads on other boards. I like those threads when it isn't obvious begging like the cactus girl one.


>>4353616
>is actually trying to make people draw and accept challenges and have their 15 minutes of fame on the internet

Isn't that what the /las/ thread already exists for?

>>4354432
>>4354766
The only other alternative is the infinity chan art board. That board probably has more active moderation depiste being slow as shit.

>>4354800
>infinity chan art board

Wasnt that place canned after the shootings last year?

>>4354803
It's back under a different domain but I wouldn't go to it because the administration is dodgy as fuck and board owners have had countless dramas with them before and after the change to the new domain.

>>4354808
Damn. Well, I wont lie. Its looking pretty bleak, lads.

Pillowfort thread got a decent-ish response. What about that place? Its either that, or its back to...DA.

>>4354800

>>4354432
The only thing holding this board back is the lack of moderation. Mods aren’t cleaning up stupid, shitty threads and that gives an incentive for shitposting crabs to continue with their crabbery.

Even the /beg/ threads and the draw threads are suffering somewhat.

Usually someone comes in and promises for a new board free of shitposting, /ic/ is on board, and that person just fucks off and it remains a dead dream. We must’ve done some horrible shit as a board to get this treatment.

All these faggots in this thread playing fascist
1. The threads won't go away
2. People will be able to make videos whenever they want and criticize whatever they want
3. People can make whatever the fuck art related threads they want
4. You can't do anything about it

Welcome to 4chan. If you want hard moderation and rigid posting rules then reddit is right there for you, I'm sure you can find a reddit for exactly what you are looking for.

If you want drama in addition to that (you do, because you made this thread), I'm sure there are websites that will welcome you with open arms too.

one thing you should do is stop getting baited.
Ignore and don't post in those threads, don't insult or start dumb discussions with people that are just trying to bait you. It's not a perfect solution, but it helps.

Don't feed the trolls.

>>4354823
reddit doesnt work and favours the popular/whoever has bots to downvote the others.

>>4354823
playing fascist isn't the same as taking out the trash every now and then

>>4353688
along with
>futa baaaaad threads
>porn baaaaad threads
>tumblr art baaaaaad threads
>wamen make bad art threads

this seepage of /b/ and /pol/ trash drives me away for months at a time until i need a book or course. And over the course of 5 odd years, it has just gotten worse every time i peek in. Genuinely little reason to engage and discuss in 70% of threads, which is kinda sad. This board inspired me to start taking my art seriously. There used to be more board collaborations too, like those websites that allowed a server of people to draw on the same file? Forget what they're called, but I miss them.

I do what I can to report off topic posts but i honestly can't stomach looking at threads beyond the first page and what I see when looking for the book thread in the catalog.

>>4353692
the memes are all old shit from 2016 though. Nothing fresh

>>4354823
>asking for a bit of moderation
>"playing fascist"

>>4353612
>moderation is absent
this is not true at all
jannies are working 24/7 to delete and ban anything that criticizes them for using jannie authority only to get on power trips destroying anything they dont like

>>4354823
>4chan is place where you can just post whatever you want! Every board is like /b/
yeah...no...

>>4334118
There's no thread on /ic/ requiring cleansing, only high quality is posted here. The top of the cream. No need to bother the mods.

>>4354432
Dividing the Userbase will just make /ic/ shittier. See >>4354766 , whatever we could make in another place, we can make it here. Our best bet is to make /ic/ better by creating better threads, bumping good threads and helping good-willed people. Hoping for a mod to fix our shit is wishful thinking, if the guy doesn't understand the board he will just hammer the wrong threads and then we'll cry a river about the evil mod.

>>4353612

this place is garbage,
draw tread is good.

Newfags
You need to go back

>>4355363
At least with the first three threads you posted they at least posted their own art although shitty. I agree that the rest of the shit posting and e drama threads need to go. I remember there was a mod that used to quickly delete Twitter screenshot and e-celeb drama threads. It feels like they just decided to give up on the board around nov-dec.

>>4354823
I don't like overmoderation either but the slow boards can't survive when shit posters are allowed to go wild. Shit post threads can't be bumped out of the catalog as easily in slow boards. On 4chan the fast boards have too much moderation while the slow boards have too little.

has anyone tried irc or qa

>>4354823

I got a two day bam from here last week.

>>4353658
Why is it okay for people to shit about any thread that isn't about Anime art or illustration but it's not okay for people to talk about it?

That's why only one thing gets posted on this board.

Someone comes in and they are like hey guys do you like Gustav Klimt...

And a whole bunch of people that only like Anime flood and spam.the three with "no, looks like shit" so much that the person who made the thread never comes back... this is why a whole art board is flooded with just 1 subject.

Why is this okay but talking about it is not?

>>4353787
This.


Can't have a thread about Ben Quilty because he is a contemporary artists and people who shit up it up because it's not anime.

But you can have crab threads like "I'm mad at sakimichan for being more successful than me so I am going to find mistakes in her work and laugh at it even though it's still better than what I can do"

And they get full of crabs.. and nobody gives a fuck.

>>4353790
Why is it only okay for people who draw anime to crap nup the board?

Try make a graffiti or tattoo thread or contemporary art thread an see how many people go and crap it up.

>>4353826
Crab isn't a meme it's a common saying.

>>4353956
Hello Australian.

>>4353978
Story time?

>>4354082
>>4354097
Crabs.

>>4354239
Have you ever met a 4chan mod in real life?

They are the most pathetic and cringe people you can imagine.

One was I knew was a nerd who dressed up like a 50s biker and said 50s slang all the time like "foookin ayeee" and talked about vintage Harley Davidson all the time and couldn't tell nobody was listening....

Oh and he didn't even have enough ambition to go out and buy his own motorcycle... he'd rather just talk about them all day.


These are the kinds of people who moderate 4chan.

>>4354294
You can split read and digital because people shit up all the non digital or contemporary art threads.

>>4354752
I like how you posted an Anime picture.

This proves my point about all the Anime fans that only like 1 style of art shitting up all threads.

Maybe you could discuss something put of your normal interests instead of shitting up non Anime threads?

>>4355363
It's already decided because whenever someone makes a read about non illustration art styles it gets what on to the point the OP doesn't come back.

>>4355590

Do you know for sure that you are going to Heaven if you were to die today anon? If you are not 100% sure or you think you can go there because you think you are are a good person, please read through the tract & text or watch the video at the bottom.

It's Once saved, Always Saved. You can't lose your salvation.

John 10:28
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

The biblical way of salvation below.

Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

A quick prayer you can make to God aloud if you choose to receive Christ into your heart tonight:

Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I'm a sinner
And I know I deserve to go to hell
But I believe you died on the cross for my sins, and rose again on the third day.
Please save me right now, and give me the gift of eternal life.
I'm not trusting in my own works.
I'm only trusting in you.
In your name I pray
Amen.

If you prayed this prayer and meant it in your heart, you are saved according to the Bible. God bless.

ah yes, true altruism, my favorite
shall we start pinning threads about people posting their twitter opinions?

how are we supposed to report everything if theres a cooldown on reporting?

>>4358081
1) report the worst offenders first
2) report from your phone, too
0) we only need 20 good men to report them all

Looks like the mods are actually doing something, for once.

>>4359034
There are actually mods here?

Huh
Ya know i thought this place was feeling alot different than it did last year.

>>4358081
>cooldown
Cooldown is just a few seconds

>>4359034
a few threads are gone, including illastrat's.
Mods doing some moderation?

>>4359216
but makes the process longer and tedious if a thread is cluttered with irrelevant webms.

Ban crab meme. Only used by consoomer retards whiteknighting their favorite patreon hacks.

>>4359232
I still see plenty of the youtube chink threads, niggastat and stupid frogpost bait. While some thread about actually drawing which had little traction got deleted. Fuck this gay earth.

sorry i was away for awhile guys i couldnt janny because i was busy drawing

>>4353612
The worst problem is the apple shills.
iPad is good for art but it's not the perfect fucking device.

>>4359918
I thought people were promoting the ipad ironicly as a meme

>>4359921
Most people are actually shilling it. But are trying to claim it's the only useful tool for portable art.

While it certainly is good, it has its downsides. Actual shilling is usually cut off on other boards within a week, this has been going on months with the same responses each time
