/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I've finally gotten my ass around to idling in the IRC, and I've seen a man ascend from a lowly peasant to the ranks of the Gods.

Sadly, he cares little for the affairs of this realm...

Thus, it is my turn to walk his trodden path, so that I may finally turn this into paradise.

>>6786276

How are you going to fit all those cocks in your mouth, though?

>>6786264
Last day there was already mod baning and deleting quality threads while leaving shit posting.
I Hope he will learn quickly, but he wont replace our dear meido ;_;

>>6786291
I already have them all in my mouth while typing this.

We have mods?

as always, most of the new mods will be complete shit and will either burn out/get replaced. until then, it will be another dark era for this board.

hope you enjoyed the short golden era of meido-free /jp/. I know I did.

Hello.

Direct any concerns about moderation to staff idling in #4chan on irc.rizon.net.

Also, please report any rule-breaking material.

Fucking Matador

is that castlevania 64

>>6786330
Unfortunately this is true.
Though I loved meido. I miss her...good times.

>>6789481
Hello, dear newmod.

What would you like us to call you? Does Head maid sound good?

>>6789481
>Also, please report any rule-breaking material.

I can do that.

If Matador was our mod, things would be different around here.

We can still post loli threads right?

>>6789481
>Also, please report anything you dislike.

Done and done.

>>6789524
Religion threads. That's something that is always allowed.

>>6789524

no

>>6789513

anonymous, man

>>6789512
>she

"she" was

rule clarification would be great

like one of those stickies that says "don't post XXX"

when you name a board "otaku culture" and the one and only rule is "all things otaku welcome," the first thing people are going to think of is anime

>>6789543
Don't forget that there are no guys in /jp/
Only girls. That's why we get along.

>>6789481
>>6789543

Are these the same person?

>>6789481
also feel free to do this if you have valid complaints about posts or posters in /jp/. Like, when I say valid, I mean actual rule-breaking or extreme trouble-making.

That feeling you have when you know that no amount of mods or janitors can fight the Sion plague.

>>6789562
Hope is all we have left!

>>6789565
you guys liked meido so much... if you're so worried about new mods, how about specific suggestions?

>>6789562
You should have gotten used to it now, since it will never stop.

>>6789569
I don't think anyone really liked meido. It was just a defense mechanism to deal with the pain.

>>6789569

Keep in mind that this board is effectively delicious nsfw futaba, given the subject material that falls under our perview. We're the last horrible vestiges of /a/ when /a/ was good, old /b/ and /l/.

I think of the new mod as a refined rich fourth nine year old gentleman who rapes /jp/ everynight.

>>6789569
Rule clarification.
Do the russian mmorpg threads belong here or in /v/? Does anime belong here or in /a/?

>>6789596
... wait, you want the janitor/moderator to make that declaration for us?

>warned for posting material NSFW
nooooooooo

well, at least the report button will become useful again...

>>6789596

Yes, they do, unless we like them, in which case we will discuss them in a civil manner while those who disagree with our preferences shit themselves in impotent rage/shitpost.

Could that Comiket sticky be removed soon?

>>6789598
Sure, why not. You know we will never agree about anything otherwise. This would solve the bitching and trolling problem at least to some extent.

I'm gonna be reporting any MMO or JRPG threads that I see from now on.

>>6789569
1) Don't delete STG/shmup threads

2) Please allow NSFW pics if they're spoilered.

/jp/ should just be turned into a NSFW board.

>>6789605

Yeah, no. First thing, I don't want someone who just got here telling us what we can discuss. Second thing, if such a thing came to pass, we'd still talk about whatever we like. Because we're obstinate dickbags.

>>6789623
>First thing, I don't want someone who just got here telling us what we can discuss.
But this is how the thematic boards work and Moot should have done this in the first place.

>>6789620
I agree

We actually have a mod now?

Please moderate or janitoriate in a mostly hands-off fashion. Use your judgment. If the thread is an obvious troll, obviously in the wrong board, or is otherwise completely fucking retarded, delete it. Be careful to distinguish truly shitty threads from normal threads that have simply been made shitty by obstinate troll.

>>6789631
The only reason it isn't is because moot wants his front page system to look nice.

>>6789629

The rest of 4chan is a pit and moot is an idiot who holds every single one of us in contempt.

>>6789620
Seriously, we have plenty of porn during any point of time, our hobbies are mostly porn related. Otaku culture, doujinshi and eroge, but still somehow SFW? How does it work?

>>6789642
I like it that way. Even if we do talk about it all the time, I prefer things that are especially lewd to stay behind spoiler tags rather than posted openly.

>>6789640
>The rest of 4chan is a pit
/jp/ isn't a magical paradise though.

>>6789620
You want to start seeing JAV-shit in here now? They'll probably have 10 billion chained threads like those idol faggots.

>>6789642
It hardly mattered before because the mods ignored us and the worst you'd get is a delete, but SFW rules are going to clash with the board's natural content now.

>>6789655
I think your overreacting. Mod just needs to make this board NSFW already.

>>6789655
JAV shit doesn't belong here.

>>6789569

Meido, while certainly hard-working, approached it the wrong way.

What meido did wrong:
-Bringing attention to himself. You are probably thinking this isn't a problem for you, but moderating /jp/ is a thankless job and it will break anybody over time. Please do not create moderator praise threads and expect to be shown gratitude. You will quickly learn that you cannot please /jp/ no matter what you do. Either suck it up or be sensible and say "hey you know what, fuck this, it's not worth it," like most of the previous staff.
-Inconsistency. Simply put, he followed the community-made rules instead of the official 4chan rules. It is very frustrating to see your PC98 thread deleted while there is porn or World of Tanks on the front page. This is what drove quite a few of the spammers to shit up /jp/.
-Taking things too seriously. This is a problem with the whole board. I don't mean /b/ threads are OK. But everyone needs to lighten up a little bit.
-Auto-deletion scripts, of course these were quickly forbidden by moot

Hey mod could you please permaban >>6789665

Thanks.

>>6789678
hey mod could you perma ban this whiny faggot? thanks!

>>6789681

No need to get so defensive.

>>6789680
>Auto-deletion scripts, of course these were quickly forbidden by moot
When was this? Because I completely support the use of using auto-deletion scripts against that spammer like that guy who wouldn't stop making a new thread for fucking hours on end.

This is, of course, a moot point if you are a mod.

I just woke up. Where's the proof that moot actually added moderators here and not just to his precious little /b/?

>>6789684
you fail to realize you faggots whining and asking for stuff to be deleted are fucking worse than random shit posters. i really wish the mod would fucking ban idiots who beg for threads to be deleted by making a thread with links.

>>6789680
>Taking things too seriously. This is a problem with the whole board. I don't mean /b/ threads are OK. But everyone needs to lighten up a little bit.

No.

You give an inch, they take a mile, your definition of ''fun'' is shitposting and a general nuisance

This is one of the few boards that still retains a decent culture.

Can we still have threads about how we molested our imaginary little sisters

Requesting a ban on >>6789691.

>>6789691

It's one post in a pointless thread. Calm down.

>>6789692
>someone named manfred.
>never seen this faggot before and he doesn't realize /jp/ otaku culture is actually /jp/ otaku random.
decent culture? heh. thisboard couldn't even fill up 5 pages with the "new culture" it's nothing but reposts/random and very few new things.

>>6789686
For example, he made a script autodeleting any post with the word "Saten" in it.

The problem is that if moot wanted janitors to be able to do this, he would just give them the privilege to ban. And while it's obviously moot's fault for not giving us anyone with banning privileges who browse this place regularly, there's no way a mere janitor can change how things are done. Moot will simply dispose of any janitor breaking the rules as soon as he finds out, even if it was moot's fault in the first place that the janitor found it appropriate to break the rules.

>>6789680
This is a difficult board to moderate. We have no rules at all, and nobody on staff knows about the board. So in hopes of making you guys happier, I tried to stick by the community policies. I went too far when I started dealing with the quality as well, that was my mistake.

Please, forgive me. All I did was with the best of intentions.

>>6789702
Work on your grammar and I'll humor you.

>>6789702
That's not how you quote.

Oh also, anal toy & onahole threads are on topic and should not be deleted.

>>6789717
Oh and /jp/ is gayer than /y/ sometimes.

>>6789686

Throughout the final few months of Meidolf's regime.

Good idea in theory, but legitimate posts were being deleted too (talking about Saten figures in figure threads, posts using the word "reportedly" were being deleted because it contains "reported" which was flagged, etc.). Not to mention all images that happened to be 1280x720, regardless of whether they were from anime or VNs.

In addition to deleting legit posts, doing that only encourages spammers to shit up the board more to find workarounds. So you get people taking about Saten in binary or hex or "morse fucking code." You can't stop spam unless you range ban, and even then there are people that switch ISPs. I know it must have been frustrating to meido that moot wouldn't do anything but using scripts is going too far.

I wish we could make a compromise and maybe have one single thread dedicated to anime, but there's no way that would fly.

>>6789717
i havent seen one of these threads for months

>>6789711
>I went too far when I started dealing with the quality as well, that was my mistake.

You're telling me that when moot hires janitors/mods there isn't a big, red, bold text statement shouting 'ENFORCE THE RULES, NOT YOUR OPINIONS' blaring in your face at all times?

No fucking wonder moderation quality has tanked since janitors was implemented

>>6789709
>mad because he's some random tripfag completely unknown to anyone.
>>6789712
>doesn't understand what it means to "quote" someone and interject whatever you want about them and what they said.
quotes are a tool and people decide to how it however they want.

>>6789712
>>6789709
>>6789692
Prime examples of -Taking things too seriously.
/b/ and shitposting isn't going to magically disappear if you sage every post and make hostile replies. You should report threads that don't belong, then ignore them.

There was a good one a week or so ago.

>>6789742

/jp/ is so much better when you just relax and keep in mind that it's just an imageboard at the end of the day.

Whatever happened to taking it easy.

>>6789739
Fuck you too. It was never about opinions, it was always about the rules. Took the meaning of global rule 6 too liberally and started applying it to try to improve your quality. But my personal preferences never had any weight, I take offense to that. Neutral as fuck.

Don't worry, the twilight period from my dismissal to new staff has finally ended. Moderation should be more relaxed and deal only with spam now.

>>6789774
If it means anything... you will always be the meido of my heart.

>>6789711

I won't forgive you until you stop apologizing and take it easy.

Ah, the old days, back when nobody knew who meido was.

Anyway, just delete completely useless shit, leave the rest alone, and you'll be fine.

>>6789807
This. Man, I love you. You said exactly what I was thinking.

Just take it easy. Everyone does mistakes, but it's gonna be awwwright if we just try our best. Some fun threads are always important to make sure that everyone is feeling good. Just my opinion.

>>6789807

Sauce anime?

>>6789807
I guess I can finally take it easy. Replacement is ready, have nothing holding me back here.

So long, it was a pleasure.

>>6789837

This post. Exactly.

Just ake it easy, man. We won't expect the world of you right away. Take your time.

But remember, we all have seven proxies and linksys routers.

>>6789853

Railgun

>>6789837

Since I don't feel like getting banned at the moment for making a new thread, I'll just wish you an OH YAH SUE ME here.

>>6789814
[0] only.

Remember you're regulating the culture of a small, knit, in group. Also, get the fucking drawwhore threads off here. /tg/ was shit up by drawwhores.

>>6789865

The fuck is a railgun?

which series PLOX

>>6789875
The anime A Certain Scientific Railgun, itself a spinoff of Toaru Majutsu no Index.

>>6789875
You must be trolling.
To Aru Kagaku No Railgun

>>6789877
Of course he is, stop replying to him.

>>6789885
Sometimes giving somebody what they want is the fastest way to make them go away.

>>6789865
Oh yah sue me!
Sleep well anon. See you when you wake up! I'll be waiting.

>>6789888
ZUN!bar will always hold a special place in my heart, but you seem a much more responsive object of my love. I hope we can grow well acquainted over the years.

>>6789901
ZUN!bar is just a shy little girl.

Not allowing loli threads = Get ready to quit your job.

It won't be pretty.

Well, it's not like it made any difference. From the moment the mod deletes a Sion thread, he will have to deal with spam 24h per day and will probably quit even before the rest of /jp/ starts to think the mod is a normalfag retard.

>>6790146
You seem to be mistaken that a mod is equal to a janitor. You know a ban is different from simply deleting a thread right? And don't even get started on proxies, most of them are already banned in the first place.

>>6790157

Why use an external proxy when you have a perfectly good router?

>>6790157
I'm not.

No one is able to moderate /jp/ for more than a few months, even with the mod powers. The /jp/ hivemind is simply too much for someone who has to deal with the other shit from all the other boards too.

He will probably just stick to deleting the reported illegal content.

And about your point, I know all the tripfag spammers can be banned, but I refuse to believe they don't have a way to circumvent it, seeing as we had to deal with their spam for so long. It's not possible /jp/ is so forgotten as to the spammers having never received a ban. (And I don't think it is, seeing the name change, mod posts, stickies, etc)

And yes, I know Currybutt had been banned long ago, but the Railgun/Persona/Ika spammers kept posting.

>This is, of course, a moot point if you are a mod.
>a moot point
I hope I wasn't the first to notice this.
