/jp/ - Otaku Culture

As a resident /v/irgin who sometimes visits /jp/, I can safely say that moderation isn't going to do anything for the board.

Too many people go to /v/ for it to be practically modded, and if the shitposters get mad, they'll go up and arms about it. Very much pic related.

What /v/ needs is less traffic, which more INTERESTING boards can accomplish. Of course we wouldn't even need that if /b/ would stop flooding into /v/, since /b/ is going waaay to fast.

I see user moderation being brought up, and unfortunately, it's just not practical, there are at least 10 shitposters for every 1 person who wants to clean up /v/

Self moderation can work on smaller boards, like /jp/ because the community doesn't have such a diverse mindset, where /v/ has a diverse mindset, and even the ones who HAVE gathered opinions on how to clean up /v/ have incredibly varied thoughts on it.

So an E-sports board would be fine. It's hard to get any real video game discussion done when all you see are E-sports and shitposting.

As for /jp/....well I haven't been here in the last two months, so I can't comment on the state of it, unfortunately.
