Shitposters. Gensokyo suicide threads. Daily doses and other tangential content only if /jp/ actually likes it, forced shit that gets lit up with reports like a christmas tree goes.

But most especially, I'd never have mercy on baww and NEET life threads (they just don't fucking belong here). moot and I seem to share the notion that baww threads are the worst things on 4chan and should be shot on sight. Sometimes we get such threads straight out of .. well, I woulda said r9k but (thank god) they're dead.. straight out of /soc/ or /adv/ now I guess. It's cool if a thread ends up derailing (it just happens with conversation sometimes), but threads that are completely off topic from the start cannot stand.

Aren't those some of the reasons why /jp/ was created? Well, moot wanted to stop them on /a/, so who knows. Still, they're almost part of our culture by now and they usually tend to be good, so I don't see the harm on them.
Plus, trying to make such threads on /soc/ or /adv/ would not end well at all, given the personality of the people who live over there.

Such threads shouldn't be allowed to stay because they attract exactly the kinds of people who make the board shittier.

moot said to take the baww threads out of /a/ to here -ONLY- because /r9k/ hadn't gainned a reputation as being the hub for those, in fact, I don't recall if /r9k/ even existed on the day /jp/ was made (that the boards were of the same generation, very early '08, is as far as I can recall).

I would say rather than threads, what generally needs deleting are individual posts. Something I like about /jp/ is that any thread has potential to rise into intellectual discussion or lighthearted joking. Also, just because something originally wasn't supposed to be in /jp/ that doesn't mean that it won't eventually be accepted as part of our board's culture (idol threads, MMO threads).

The fact of the matter is, /jp/ is a slow board. Any thread can be made and stay up for quite a while (look at the Rika threads). In other words, the reason /jp/ doesn't fit the level of quality that you aspire it to have is not because threads need deleting; it's because high quality threads aren't being created. I think it could be helped a lot more by having our board's denizens try to think of exactly what it is they want to see on /jp/ and trying to facilitate that discussion.

Anyway, I love /jp/ and as long as it's still around I'll probably keep coming. I don't think it really needs to start removing pieces of its culture even if they are a bit off-topic.

>> No.6838391

Honestly, does /jp/ even need a janitor? I remember spamming/overall retardation being somewhat higher before we lost ours, and this thread is filled with people more interested in deleting stuff that personally irritates them. Which in turn pisses people off, and said pissed off people are likely to either leave, or spam. Neither of which is good for the board as a whole.

No, they don't. There are more than enough of them in the archive. Meta has been discussed to death, resurrection, undeath, ascendance into heaven and then back to hell.

I already keep watch of pretty much every thread that is made here. One of the first things I do in the morning is go here and look through all the threads that were made since I went to bed. When I'm done, I find something else to do, but always keeps an eye on what's happening, if any new threads are made, and if the threads I'm following are getting any replies.

If I was a janitor, I would exercise my extremely relaxed and unemotional attitude to just delete content that is against the rules and serves no purpose. No insane rage-induced crusades, no provoking of shitposters, just being that creepy janitor you remember in high school who no one dared to talk to, but who would put up with all kinds of shit to make sure the building was in a tolerable condition, without complaining, just because it was his job.

As a result of years of dedicated training and having endured countless hardships, a select few of the human race are able to obtain a fascinating ability. Its hard to describe to someone who's never experienced it, though.

Hey Sudo, you're a decent guy, but you need to take it easy before you can become a meido, for your own good.
If you are too strict and unrelenting, you will get stressed and I don't want you becoming like AoC.
It's okay if you are doing it a bit of attention because every deserves to be appreciated. It's human nature.
And there will always be haters but don't ignore them, just accept it and take in their feedback, which would normally have some real basis at the bottom.
Please don't be stubborn and unwilling to admit when you are wrong. Don't take sides, even if you truly dislike one thing, make compromises.
And you should stop filtering /jp/, a major/candidate can't just ignore the slums and ghettos in his city.

The only anime I've watched in the past 3 years is Railgun. I don't like anime at all, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed here.

The whole "we have an anime board, therefore anime doesn't belong here" faulty line of thinking has been shot down years ago. There is not one single /jp/ related thing that cannot be discussed on some other board, aside from maybe idols and figs. Do you tell Touhou fans to go to /v/? VN fans to go to /v/ or /lit/?

Of course not. You only cry about anime, simply because you don't like it. You are putting your own personal views over the official rules, and that is why you have no business being in this thread.

It does, though. /jp/ was spawned from /a/ precisely because the anime would stay in the latter while all the other otaku-related stuff would move to the former.

>There is not one single /jp/ related thing that cannot be discussed on some other board

Irrelevant. Even if Touhou is a videogame and can therefore be discussed on /v/, this doesn't mean anime should be allowed on /jp/. Unlike you, I thoroughly enjoy anime, but know better than to discuss it here. Also, these aren't just my views, I can assure you that the majority of /jp/ users feel the same. After all, it was from them that I learned how to behave on this board.

Honestly, with such relaxed rules, /jp/ is just going to become another variant of a /v/ + /a/.
I thought the intended purpose of creating /jp/ was to get people to stop posting figures (and hotglue) and visual novels on /a/. It wasn't a board for otaku culture, it was a extremely niche board.
Now, the board has become such a wildcard. Anyone can make the argument of a topic being from japan, or relating to otaku culture, so how do you moderate that? It would be better if we could just moderate ourselves.

moot specifically stated in this board's opening sticky, that /jp/ is for Touhou, VNs, figs, doujin etc. It's not like r9k where it was created as an open experiment; /jp/ has a role and it fulfills it admirably.

/jp/ is also the perfect board for things like Comiket for example, since we already trade doujin here all the fucking time; no other board has such a strong focus on it as we do.

Also anyone can pull the "psh you could just talk about this on another board" bullshit, because guess what, you could talk about anything from any board on 4chan on /b/... Also since VNs and Touhou both carry along with them an inseparable element of well, otaku culture related things, they are very dissimilar in how they are consumed and discussed than normal games are on places like /v/. People on /v/ don't talk about getting figs or posters or doujin of their favorite games for example, because their favorite games tend not to have any kind of following like that to begin with.

But there are other countless examples. Every single thread that people discuss seriously when it doesn't belong here is example of that.

moot always says that it's up to the community to really define what belongs what not does not. Since /jp/ has such a vague "rule" it's up to the community to accept something or not and the janitor should be the hand of justice of that choice. For example, if something is created here but it's not directly related but there a lot of people discussing it and the thread is very active it might be tolerated as long those threads remain condensed, cosmic break comes to mind. That process is obviously not instant and might take some time until the "approval" happen or not.

Oooh, yes he could. Greentext story threads are usually completely and utterly off topic. Off topic threads and off topic replies are against globals. Trolls disguised as on-topic (but still obviously trolls) are against globals. The rules actually give a huge amount of leeway into what you can do within technical bounds, people from other boards tend to be such fucking terrible posters that they often trip one of these rules and so, what are they gonna do, you go delete their shit. Look at /tg/'s draconian janitor for example. You think he's breaking the rules doing what he does, ruling with an iron fist? Nope, he's just doing his job.

I think it's great you've been more active lately, things seem to be looking up for 4chan, /baw/ and /stormfront/ gone, /soc/ added to improve /b/ and the upcoming janitors/mods.

My only complaint is /v/'s seemingly allowed /b/ threads.

And yes, most of us were fond of meido.

Fair enough, hey, while you're here, would you mind answering a question about janitors? How much would you say you'd like the average janitor to be on the boards working? I was semi-interested in applying, but I have a 12 hour course load at college this semester, so if you expect a janitor to be on the majority of the day I wouldn't bother.

>> No.6842415

>>6842377
The one's who didn't like the last meido were the ones who spammed the board.

Ever thought of making an /xx/ -- Doubles & GETs board?

>> No.6842422

>>6842387
Eh, those boards stink though... I guess it could be somewhat of a slippery slope if you endorsed it.

On an unrelated note have you considered doing some sort of scheme with the new /soc/ like you did with /fur/ back in the day? Just an idea.

We did like our last meido, the only problem we had is when the Puddi fiasco happened, the spam got so bad the only thing he could do is delete every thread on the board. All in all he did an okay job, its just he started to slip near the end.

And a couple of questions if you dont mind~

1: I sent in a janitor app/request like three days before you posted that you will be accepting janitor apps. Should I resend it when the time period comes?

2: How do you feel about shitty free korean/japanese MMOs as a part of Otaku Culture? We have things like Cosmic Break, Aika, TERA, and whatnot and we get a small yet VERY vocal crowd of people protesting it.

3: Also, whose you're favorite touhou?

Can only be janitor for one board huh. My main board is /jp/ followed by /sp/, /jp/ does a fairly good job moderating itself which is pretty nice, I definitely like everyone's enthusiasm. It just shows they love this place. /sp/ on the other hand is a shithole most of the time who needs serious help. I've been on /jp/ longer so this really is my home, but I don't really think /jp/ needs any new janitors compared to some of the other boards atleast.

/jp/ is pretty fickle since a couple things that aren't necessarily "otaku culture" are still welcomed here, like mahjong or idols. When looking at a /jp/ janitor please make sure that it is someone who has been here a long time to at least know our common nuances. I don't know what the application process will be, but try to make that a big point! Experience always trumps potential anyway.

Thats the wonderful thing about "All things otaku welcome!", its so generically bland that its hard to determine what is or isn't for /jp/ which a lot of people use this as a shitty excuse to post whatever they want.

You know how people plaster their walls with animu waifus? There are people just as creepy and dedicated to their idol waifus as well, except theres the actual likelihood of seeing her.
Tenhou is pretty much borderline.. I mean its not quite /toy/ but its not quite /tg/ material.

The only really questionable things are the figurine and doll threads, whether or not they belong in /toy/. Personally I find them quite justified here, but it would put some activity on /toy/.

>> No.6842540

I'd say they're classified more as collectibles and obsessions, respectively, than toys.

Wasn't /jp/ originally made for figs, VNs, and touhou? I figure those three are the backbone.

Also no real reason to sage a dying thread, it won't bump it self.

Thats what I was thinking yeah.

>>6842547
Yes, it was the dump board for shit /a/ doesn't want, just as /soc/ is the dump board for shit /b/ doesnt want. The saging is just a courtesy and a habit, my apologies.

...Oh god forgive me I just likened /jp/ to /soc/.
