/jp/ - Otaku Culture

As long as I get to talk about lolis, I'm good.

Row Row Fight the Power?

>>2246619
I still don't understand why new people don't lurk.

>>2246626

Also, what are you going to do during summer then?

>>2246636
>what are you going to do during summer then
Train/study.

>>2246619
Well, I'm not staying, and I doubt any veteran will.

We will miss you. In all fairness, even with the recent /b/ invasions, /jp/ is by far the best discussion board on 4chan. Sure, within one or two years it will succumb to the rampant stupidity of /a/ and /v/. For now though, it should remain somewhat pure until at least around November.

>>2246619
Good bye anon.
I hope things won't be worse when you come back

>>2246635
I've been lurking for a few months now. This is actually my first post. Not everyone is the same.

Be of good cheer at all times.

That's the spirit

>>2246688
Why are you answering a troll?

NEWFAG SUMMER

so dramatic

I'll protect /jp/'s loliculture

>>2246688
Yes. Yes it does. Also, only newfags think they can change things on the internet.

If the amount of shitposts on /jp/ increases by 1% every day.
How soon will /jp/'s quality be halved?

>>2246721
In 50 days?

flee after new people have actually appeared.
They MAY just stay at the more popular boards, and it isnt that bad if they come here to discuss pocky.

>>2246728
Incorrect.

>>2246731
>if they come here to discuss pocky
We could tell them to go to /ck/.

>>2246731

>>2246738
eye don't know why eye'm wrong

>>2246673
>Or we could fight so that doesn't happen.
It's good to know that some of my fellow /jp/ers are willing to stand and fight so that /jp/ will not become another /a/, /v/, or /b/.

Newcomers should blend into the board's culture; not shape the board's culture.

I know how you feel, but the idea of simply leaving and wait for things to settle down hasn't worked for us in the past. It's how we lost /a/, and the biggest reason why weekends are increasingly unbearable.
But I respect your wishes. It's a ungrateful job, to try to steer the board into what it should be, and the endless noise storm from "not /jp/ related" is really harming us.

I'm gonna catch up with VNs and do some original content. Hopefully, the place will still be here when Fall comes.

>>2246739
and they would redirect them back.
Seriously, i cant imagine that ''newfags'' could be so bad here. Ok, moralfags against loli could be..

>>2246716
>newfags
Go back to /b/

>>2246714
I will protect /jp/'s horticulture.

I will save /jp/.

Okay, guys we need 10 janitors here.

Apply now, faggots.

THIS IS WHERE WE STAND
THIS IS WHERE WE FIGHT
DON'T GIVE THEM A SINGLE THREAD, BUT FROM THEM...SAGE EVERY ONE!

>>2246765
Not that I'm fit for the position (or know anything about being one), but why would I come here if I wanted responsibilities?

How will any of us "save" anything?

>>2246774
That's well and good, but sage doesn't really do anything, other than allow you to post without bumping a thread.

>>2246765
I would gladly

Also, I'll finish all the smirks and one day just post them all.

~Haruhi1994 for mod~

>>2246753
>I know how you feel, but the idea of simply leaving and wait for things to settle down

I wouldn't call it retreating. I'm really just taking a vacation. I've lost count of how much times I've stayed on 4chan during summer playing the role of the culture janitor. This summer I plan on taking it easy and catching up with my /prog/ tutorials.

Original content will be the thing that saves /jp/. Hopefully I'll have a few /jp/ related games coded by winter.

>>2246765
>Okay, guys we need 10 janitors here.

You mean "culture janitors" right? I.e.The veterans that teach newcomers the Dos and Don'ts of 4chan.

Fighting newfags would require janitors. And we all know moot hasn't even looked at the applications sent out a year ago.

>>2246800
That dude is hilarious.

So /b/ is still here?

I was planning to make a "How to post in /jp/" guide but I always think this would generate more trolls

>>2246765
If I became a janitor expect:
no more roleplaying tripfags (/b/ shit - roleplaying)
no more shitposting tripfags (/b/ shit - offtopic and spamming)
no more shitty /a/-like meme-images with threads full of them (/b/ shit - offtopic and repeated spamming)
no more 3D (go to /s/ or /mu/ or whatever, who thought it would be a good idea to mix 2D-loving weeaboos and 3D pretentious faggots)
no more dolls (/toy/)

One of the most annoying things is newfags who sage posts they don't like while saying "sage for" or just saying "sage"
Are they really that fucking stupid?

>>2246805
>Original content will be the thing that saves /jp/

Most anons doing that end up like all /jp/ projects.

>>2246842
>no more dolls (/toy/)
You get banned in /toy/ for posting dolls and figs.

>>2246842
Figs belong in /jp/, bro. moot said so.

They tried having fig threads in /toy/ on the first day it was up, resulting in mass threadbans, if I recall correctly.

>>2246851
>implying that smirks are original content
lol

>>2246830
Do it and put it on the archive for future reference.

It could have things like:

Don't make "Why does Japan like x" threads.
Don't post /l/ doujins without the source. Otherwise you'll start a "sauce requesting" shitstorm.
Always use proper grammar and punctuation.

>>2246842
>no more dolls (/toy/)
Fuck you, Kordox is the only good tripfag here.

>>2246842
I'd vote for you.

>>2246864
An example of what we must get rid of

>>2246830
Drop the tripcode first.

>>2246865
OK I will do it later, (I might accidentally include some of the things I don't like but people like in general, correct me if I do this)

>>2246863
I think he was talking about the cosplay dolls. I don't think he was talking about figs.

>>2246890
Those are horrible but are also /jp/ content.

Is it wrong that I'd prefer to just delete /b/ posts on /jp/ all day since I don't have anything better to do with my time?

>>2246870
You have to vote?

>>2246898
That's what a good mod does

>>2246885
Criticism is now bannable offense? Seriously smirks are hardly an "original content" and have nothing to do with NEET otakus. From my PoV they look like a bunch of schoolkids found a new toy.

>>2246898
I guess that's what the current janitor is trying to do
But real /b/tards just remake their thread, and janitors can't ban so yeah
We need a mod

>>2246890
it wouldn't make sense for him to say /toy/ if he was talking about those

>>2246619

/a/ is like that all the time now, I stopped going there because the whole thing just became a gigantic cesspool of newfags and shit. Not to mention the mods are on strike.

I'll wait until /jp/ and the other places I browse get bad before I leave, but I have a feeling I'm going to kick the 4chan habit if it gets bad enough.

Pic related, I want the mods back.

>>2246909
Fucking signed
ORIGINAL content is original for a reason

>>2246842
You'd be a shitty janitor, the only things that need to be quickly deleted are /a/, /b/, /trv/, old /n/, and /lang/ posts.

>>2246912
But if their posts get deleted the second they show up, wouldn't that be almost the same?

>>2246898
I think /jp/ would be better at modding than most other boards.

>>2246927
/jp/ is also about /a/ stuff. I agree with this but deleting a discussion about Spice and Wolf, Bokurano or other stuff that they can't be discussed in /a/ is idiotic. Otaku stuff include anime and manga.

>>2246933
Well I guess it does. But there are still some of that taiko faggot's threads in these 10 pages.

This thread shows exactly why nobody on /jp/ should be allowed to mod this place.

If I were a janitor I would delete this thread, since it has nothing to do with /jp/

>>2246888
Let's add some details to this.

- Don't sagebomb.
- Don't respond to trolls (under no circumstances).
- Take it easy.
- Don't make trend threads. Instead make original threads. The following is an example of trend threads:
-Post ending in x.
-Image reaction threads.
-If x you must post in this thread.

Another thing people need to stop doing is trying to force a new trend, meme, or "epic" thread. Everybody tries too hard to be remembered for something that noone cares about.

>>2246943
Well, it's a janitor's duty to deleted those
That's why we need more

>>2246954
>>2246952
It shows why you shouldn't

>>2246970
>- Take it easy.
It's like I'm really in pooshlmer!

>>2246952
>This thread shows exactly why nobody on /jp/ should be allowed to mod this place.
Agreed.

Everybody shut up about being a janitor. Your only job as a user is to be a culture janitor (a person that sets a good example for newcomers).

To be a moderator/janitor is to be a machine. It doesn't matter if you like/dislike /fig/, /lang/, /a/, or /b/ threads. If moot says it's against the rules you would have to delete. Likewise, if moot said it wasn't against the rules you would have to leave it.

>>2246918
That was the worst mod action ever. Mods like that are the ones we don't need. After that happened, Lucky Star threads started moving into overdrive, with the most annoying shit popping up right around that time. "MODS LIKE LUCKY STAR" as a justification for posting inane crap all over the place killed /a/ for weeks.

Be happy that at least the Hirano troll is gone.

>>2246842
What the fuck would be left?

I suggest forced anon.
Maybe not coded in /jp/, but so that we will ignore any namefag and/or tripfag. Actually just ignoring the tripfags might do. Those that are willing to use names without a tripcode are gonna get trolled anyway.

/jp/ is still okay.

I'm running away. Forever.

I'll help protect /jp/ dood!

(I've been getting sucked in by Disgaea 3, I haven't had any time to play any VN's, but the hybrid VN/SRPG factor of the game is too much for me to resist. I'll be around though.... dood.)

>>2247214
You know, something like this will only be used like those Japan pictures used by those reporters. It won't make a bit of difference, but would instead just add to the spam.

>>2247189
Add that we don't like tripfags too.

>>2247220
List is pretty good, but he's right, there's a good chance it'll just be spammed in the same manner of the report not-friends' current image. "Rule 6 is broken, this thread is reported, invite everyone to do so, close in 5 seconds", ect.

>>2247189
ADD:

Don't post an ambiguous /h/ doujin without the source. Otherwise you'll start a "sauce request" shitstorm. If you don't have the source, then please specify it in your post so that you'll save your fellow /jp/ers some time by not having to ask you for the source.

Add that Kana knowledge and basic Kanji are considered a given.
Also add that while correct punctuation is needed, not all posters are native English speakers.

>>2247300
It won't make a bit of difference. It's just a list of unenforceable rules that people won't really care about. In addition, most of them are repetitive and can easily fit under "take it easy".

http://archive.easymodo.net/cgi-board.pl/jp/thread/S2246619

If all else fails, we still have the ghost board.

>>2247345
What do you propose we should do?

Oh, and for the record I'm not talking about current /jp/. I'm talking about /jp/ two years from now once the entire board goes to shit.

>>2247395
I propose responsibility. Be responsible for what you post because that's the only thing you can do as a user (as opposed to janitor and moderator).

You don't like threads devolving into shitstorms, don't acknowledge them. If you want, you can try to bring the thread back online by replying to on-topic posts. You don't have to catch the bait everytime. Don't even do the "sage for x" because that's a waste of a post. Sage is just for non-bump posts. If you really hate it, explain why you hate it (actual "discussion") and then add email:sage.

For normal posting, quickly skim through your post before submitting to make sure it's up to your standards. Don't post for the sake of posting. If you want to bump a thread, add something instead of just saying bump. If you want a source, request one time instead of annoying everyone else with constant "sauce" and just follow the thread. Use /r/ too.

If you're going to make a thread, make sure there's not a pre-existing thread already. It's better to reuse a thread with an ongoing discussion, then to start from scratch. If you're lazy, look through the first three pages to make sure. When making the thread, use the subject field to make it easier for watchers. If someone is actively trying to troll you, ignore them and continue servicing your other patrons.

To sum up, "take it easy". Fight the problem by not becoming the problem. It's the only thing a normal user can do. So yeah!

>>2247433
Your post has been saved for future reference.

>>2247189
Ask AoRF to put it on the archive.

>>2247384
Then it's best not to talk about it here

>>2247449
Use your university skills to rephrase it. It's to embarrassing for me in its current state.

>>2247189
>Rule 4:Keep your memes in your board- we aren't meme fans keep your memes in /b/,

PFFFT

>>2247484
It's true

If I became a janitor, I'd probably be so strict, I'd be the only poster in /jp/ left.

You can ignore master trolls like us forever. Your ignore button can only do so much. Also you're curtailing freedom of speech when you act like you're masters of /jp/. Your mastery is an illusion. The trolls won't stop, I won't stop. Don't think you can tell us what to do. We are the real ones in control. We have been in control since the beginning of /jp/. Don't cross our path again.

>>2247502
>You can ignore master trolls like us forever.

Awesome. I will continue to do so, too.

>>2246721
Trick question.
/jp/'s quality is zero, so it can't be halved.

>>2247475
Well, it's not like you need to ignore posts all the time, especially during late night when the viewership drops to the single digits (doesn't actually happen, but it feels like it and people get bored). It's best to just ignore things you don't like, but if you happen to like Nippon-Corea shitstorms, then by all means, go play along. Just stay out of it if you hate it.

>>2247502

Ah, but if you troll so far, there will be nothing left worth trolling.

>>2247502
Go ahead. Just use new material. If you're going to troll, do it tastefully.

How are these unofficial rules of /jp/ going to be enforced?

>>2247523
They're not. That much is obvious.
>>2247511
I'm adding you to my list!

>>2247189
>Imagedumps- Yes, we all know about the boorus and google imagesearch but we aren't going to stop posting imagedumps just because you don't like them
Way to walk back on the whole idea of unofficial rules in the first place.

>>2247502
This is an intresting way to troll,
but you could do better
because as you see noone is getting angry.

>>2247502
this is a good troll

>>2247520
Don't get your hopes up. A retard that believes he's something that matters 'cause he trolls and babbles LOL WE ARE LEGION XD bullshit won't troll any harder than 'overrated shit' threads.

Does /jp/ have any janitors from Europe here? It looked pretty bad here earlier today, I really wished I could have had the power to delete quite a few threads/posts here.

>>2247520
Don't get your hopes up. LOL WE ARE LEGION XD trolling isn't really better than 'overrated shit' threads.

If this' the future of trolling, then there's nothing to worry about.

Is it just me or is this thread a tripfag collector?
Talking about posting quality, why can't you just post like everyone else does? You feel a primal need for self-assurance and you post with a trip?
Take a look at /a/. It's more like a typical forum now. Can't you keep the anon posting trait 4chan has? And no, "Anonymous is a legion" is a shitty response. I don't post anonymously to act like a mob, I respect the value of anon posting in that you have to say everything you need to say in one post. Plus no need for self-defense and topic derailing if people start to quote the hell out of you.

>>2247583
I don't understand why people care about others having names or not,
for me a name is nothing important not even in real life.

>>2247583
Who cares?
The people who post as anon are the same as those who use trips.

>>2247573
>LOL WE ARE LEGION XD
>XD

You just broke one of the unofficial rules. Even when "XD" is used sarcastically it still has the potential to cause some harm. Keep in mind that the average newcomer probably wont be able to distinguish sarcasm from non-sarcasm; consequently, they might end up emulating said sarcasm.

So if I was to say: "lol XD" to mock someone's stupidity, who's to say a newcomer wont emulate my sarcasm. Using faggotry to combat faggotry only creates more faggotry. This is basic mathematics. 1+1 = 2. But I'm one to talk, I've been using gaia ridden sarcasm for years.... It was only a few months ago that I stopped using taboo sarcasm on /jp/.

tl;dr "XD" shouldn't be used on /jp/ period. Not even in a meta-physical way.

I like trips. It allows me to filter out the really bad ones that do nothing but shitpost. I wish I could do that with anon.

>>2247598
I don't think it's the name that's the problem (despite what people say). It's the accumulation. If Yufi#yufi decides to say something stupid today, those stupid points will be added under the name. Eventually, Yufi#yufi will have accumulated so many stupid points that people will eventually associate Yufi#yufi with stupidity. For Anonymous, nothing is ever carried over. It's a fresh start each time.

People, don't start quoting rules.
That's probably the lamest thing you could do.
Focus on not acting like asses, even if you are following said rules, don't mention them.

>>2247598
Almost every tripfag is an attention whore. They are shitposters. Most of them derail threads just by being there. Those who aren't are actually pretty helpful guys and they don't make a big deal about it.
The basic problems with tripfaggism is the "Oh, he told something bad about my post, I have to defend myself" and the "But I've already said that I'm 'that'/'there'/'done that' don't you remember?" which is like watching a sitcom. If you want better quality, start from the tripfags.

>>2247502
Wow, you sure are stupid

>>2247612

>>2247449
http://archive.easymodo.net/jprules.php

/jp/ is still a good board. I don't know what you guys are complaining about. The only thing that annoys me are the /trv/ and /n/ threads, which are usually started by outsiders. Sure, some of the regular /jp/ posters might be shitposters, but I think the ratio isn't that bad, especially compared to other boards.

>>2247604
Not to mention that using XD sarcastically has just gotten fucking annoying. It's about as bad as the real thing now, even putting aside any effect it might have on new posters.

>>2247624

I'm to start quoting these like an asshole every time someone does something remotely related.

>>2247604

You people are the ones shitposting daily, and claim to be a solution.

STIKY DIS SHIT PL0X

>>2247641
This. Seriously.

>>2247616
They would be the same way even without the trip. There are plenty of anonymous attention whores and shitposters. Even anons feel the need to defend themselves at all times, which I've always found odd. Why would you try to defend your ego or reputation when you're posting anonymously? Yet people always do it.

>>2247643

Rule 14: Grammar and spelling - Type coherently. Firefox has a spell checker, there's no excuse. Also use proper capitalization and punctuation. Yes, we actually care about that.

>>2247624
Hopefully Eksopl will leave that up till summer ends.

Please stop using "newfriends". It's equally, if not more, annoying as"newfags". Can't you just say new posters or something?

>>2247648
>really? I use firefox for years and know nothing about this

>>2247624
All seems accurate.

>>2247604
>>2247648
Yeah, it's equally annoying alright. It will come down to the sarcastic use of "XD" in no time.

>>2247624
>http://archive.easymodo.net
Ugh. You made me remember of that post count bullshit. If something like that ever becomes official, THAT will be the end of /jp/

>>2247583
I can't speak for everyone else, but in my case the trip is a whim. Nothing more, nothing less.
If it bothers you that much, you could use a forced anon FF extension.

>>2247659

Why should I have to go out of my way to remove something that you shouldn't have in the first place? That's like saying I should drive around the block if I don't like to look at the prostitutes on the street corner.

/v/ - Died.

Strike 1.

/a/ - Died.

Strike 2.

One more strike and we're out. Wow, people are actually attempting to create ways to prevent /jp/'s collapse rather than simply complaining about it.

>If it bothers you that much, you could use a forced anon FF extension.
In the same sense, if there are non-/jp/ threads on /jp/ just hide them and if there are shitposters in a thread just ignore them.
It's a right way of thinking, I accept it, but wouldn't just be better for all if those things tune down a bit?

>>2247661
Uh, why shouldn't I have it? I mean, there's a field called 'Name' and it's enabled and everything.

If I want to fill it, then I'm free to do so. Do you yell at random people to take off their clothes if you don't like what they're wearing?

>>2247681

>>2247672
You see, the term "new poster" is an actual term. "Newfag" and "Newfriend" are a brand new word. We don't need those to describe anew something that we can already describe.

>>2247718
On the same line, the whole thread is pointless because if you don't like non-/jp/ threads and posters you can just ignore them. No need for rules and code of behavior. That's my whole point. If you want to "change" something, enforce a rule or anything, start from the tripfags.

Just hastening the autosage with some image replies and sharing the fact of it's existence with a certain population of posters at the same time. Take it easy.

>>2247704
Mmmhhh, but how can you differentiate between a normal reply and a defensive reply? I want to reply to people whom I think have made a point or I believe they're wrong.
I ignore senseless replies like >>2247701 but I really don't want to make a single post and leave the thread forever.

I like how the newbies are so mad about the old posters trying to save the board they started to hijack the thread.

>>2247624
Why does everything look a thousand times more prettier on the archive?

>>2247758
Old poster here, this thread is absolute shit.
You are the new people, and your pretentious shit is ridiculous.

>>2247757
>I believe they're wrong.

That means you're defending yourself from their claim. What did we say about defending ourselves?

>The basic problems with tripfaggism is the "Oh, he told something bad about my post, I have to defend myself" and the "But I've already said that I'm 'that'/'there'/'done that' don't you remember?" which is like watching a sitcom. If you want better quality, start from the tripfags.

>>2247763
Are you talking about the /l/ theme? Good times.

>>2247756

>>2247758
How exactly you know who is new and who is old poster? Just saying. People can have different opinions you know.

>>2247771

>>2247767
PEDO SHIT
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

>>2247778

>>2247709
new+poster=newposter, you know it's coming

If this reaches autosage I will make another thread.

>>2247751
I agree on the rules being silly bit. My whole point, however, is that if you want change, then it's best to start from yourself.

The world may be rotting, but if there's a seed of hope, then everything will be fine.

>>2247785

>>2247767
I have been here since before /jp/ was created,

why do you think that change will destroy everything?

THIS THREAD IS AT IT'S LIMIT. OOOOOOOOOOOHH

>>2247773

I wasn't serious.

>>2247789
This is just a spelling mistake. By that sense, New fags is much more appropriate than new friends. We are not friends. We just share common interests...sometimes.

>>2247798
This is what people need to learn, change yourself before you tell other people to do.

>>2247809

I thought we were bros, anon.

>>2247801
I don't believe that change can destroy anything, I believe that giving oneself unwarranted importance, acting like the holder of absolute truth and trying to force thing upon other people destroys things.
Making this place a better board is everybody's effort, but it is a personal effort.
Making threads where 4 people circlejerk about being the paradigm of anonymous posting does not contribute to board quality.

>>2247809
Using "newfriends" means you adhere to Cirno's school of thought. Using "newbros" means you're a ZUN!bar follower.

That's about it, really.

>>2247800

>>2247769
But how can we have meaningful discussion threads without... y'know, discussions?

Polite sage.

>>2247758
>I like how the newbies are so mad about the old posters trying to save the board they started to hijack the thread.
This.

Some how this makes me more mad than anything else on /jp/. What's so bad about defending our e-community? If you count how much hours the average veteran has wasted on 4chan it would be equivalent to 1/2 a year. That's 1/2 a year out of my miserable life that I'll never get back. If I've spent that much hours on any given subject, you're damn right I'm going to try to defend it. And who are you to tell me I shouldn't.

>>2247796
Now it's going to be like the /jp/ theme song. Even if this whole effort is somehow good, it will descend to shit fast like this.

>>2247819
Damn

>>2247809
How about newacquaintances? It's a bit long, but I think it's dandy!

You guys just need to take advice from that guide and take it easy.

>>2247826
Take it easy. We are not angry. We never said don't discuss this, we say that we don't agree with it. Unless a meaningful discussion for you is a person saying something and everyone answers with "Oh yeah!""I agree.""Good point" etc.

Well, this thread was fun while it lasted. Then this >>2247767 guy started to take things too seriously. Now it's been reduced to /a/ level quality.

>>2247681
Thanks again Eksopl for hosting the unofficial rules page. I think this is the right step towards preventing another board collapse.

4chan is a place where the culture is shaped by the userbase. Instead of complaining, let's find ways to prevent another /a/.

>>2247821

Abandon the ship I say. You can't fight idiocy.

Bravado is cheap.
The fact is the ship is sinking and there isn't a damn thing anyone here can do. There's too many shepherds and too many cats and the whole thing has gone to hell anyway.

So, my advice to you would be to just sit back and try to enjoy the twilight of /jp/.

>>2247895

>>2247624
Needs some bold text, among other things. Overall it has to be more friendlier to the eyes of the average lurker, otherwise they may not read it.

Imagedumps are retarded.

The problem with the terms "newfag" and "newfriend" is that they're both used very condescendingly, and as an easy way to reinforce something you're saying without having to prove it. "You disagree with me, so you must be a newfag!"
If you actually want to seriously reply to threads like "Why do we have two weaboo boards on 4chan?" instead of just shouting out "gtfo newfag", you could post the screenshot of the first sticky, or simply hide the thread instead.

In b4 "gtfo newfag".

>Abandon the ship I say. You can't fight idiocy.
The whole point of this discussion was to prevent/counter idiocy. Amazing how a gathering of like-minded veterans was easily hijacked by one butthurt troll. I guess this is just a testament to how futile our battle is. If we cant win while we're in the majority, how the hell are we going to win when we're in the minority?

It's silly to fight something you have no sway over.

>>2247946

>>2247968
I don't even know why you bothered posting that. This is /jp/ we're talking about. Words such as GAR, EPIC, and newfag are taboo here.

>>2248012

>>2248020

>>2248015
I'm a bit late to the discussion. I should have quoted:
>>2247672
>>2247709
I'm saying that instead of using any fixed term, it's better to just speak naturally. "Are you new here? You should lurk more before posting" etc.
