What makes it all the more difficult is that every single time I get a mod on the line, it's always the same response:

Can't blame them to tell the truth, dealing with us must be exhausting. Spam never ends and we will never be happy with whatever moderation we get. Plus, we have no clear rules and most of what goes on here just wooshes past their heads. It's a lose/lose for them, it's a wonder we even get this much.

But we already have many of the trappings of /m/. Going down on a storm of bitterness and arguments all the time about what belongs and what doesn't.
Let's face it, lack of userbase growth leads to stagnation, and stagnation leads to eventual collapse. Everyone gets tired sooner or later of discussing the same topics over and over.

We need more control of our own bored userbase rather than restricting newcomer flow further. Our biggest problem is not new people, but those that are so bored of the present topic that their only source of amusement comes from spam and trolling.

It's not that all things mentioned were bad on their own. The problem was that they didn't belong under a strict definition of /a/. The split was an attempt at bringing /a/ back to being just about anime and manga.

You say that, and yet the board goes down in quality significantly when outsiders come in.

Recommendation threads breed laziness and ignorance on how to use the internet.
What do? threads breed idiocy and shitposting
Greentext threads encourage more outsiders from uninhabitable wastelands like /v/ to come here, thinking it's just like their home.

There is nothing good to come from outsiders.
We have what we need. We know how to use the internet to find new VNs, to find translation projects, to find comiket goods. What of value do normalfags and newfags both offer other than shitposting?

If they can change to fit this board's culture, great, but shitposting is shitposting, and to claim that the "present topic" of this board is boring so immigrants from other boards are needed to spice things up is asinine.

7chan has been more tolerant of 4chan style posting lately. And to be honest, it's a touch too close as it is, I don't really like the future prospects such a move would hold. We really ought to migrate to a more niche *chan as there's less likelihood of normals wandering in from other boards. But that's just my two cents. 7chan moderation is still nothing to scoff at.

We agree on that all of those behaviors are harmful and shouldn't be encouraged. But you see, we're both against the obvious outsider, the one that just stumbled in and refuses to adapt.
Plenty of newcomers still come in and remain unnoticeable because they're doing what anyone should do when arriving to a new place: lurk and adapt.

I believe there's plenty good coming from newcomers. New blood flows, we don't grow stagnant and may I dare dream, less bitter. Outsiders, the sort that want a translation for their tattoo and then leave, they can go to the outer boards.

I think I've made myself clear by now, but I will state this just in case: anime in /jp/, retarded greentext and all the sort of shit that we still try to keep at bay has no place in this board.

/m/ has new content, and various good content to discuss. Whereas /jp/ barely has any content worth mentioning, so people decide to start random threads. There is like 5 touhou games some are 10 years old, ever notice how we NEVER have actual touhou game threads anymore? No one even fucking plays the game, or at least posts about it really on /jp/, I haven't seen a score thread in a while. Visual novels are kinda meh, discussions are meh too. Vocaloid is shit, so are fightan games. Basically the only decent topics involve "/jp/ would you/do you like/whose armpit/image dump".


This thread is pretty bad though, so many newfriends. I think all the regulars on /jp/ killed themselves, learned nihon and left(please tell me where you went) or quit browsing. /jp/ has gotten raided since its creation every single week, sometimes multiply times per day. The only reason why mentioning the janitor as common, was because of that issue. All the newfriends seem to think /jp/ talked about the janitor because the posters wanted the janitor to wipe their ass for them, like so many now do.

I always see that attitude, like: I wish the janitor would clean up any topic I don't like, HMPH. Whereas the original attitude was: I wish the janitor would clean up this 4th /b/ raid today.

I just mean, like before; basically I always thought: I wish the janitor would clean up the 4th /b/ raid today. Pretty much any of the older topics involving the janitor where for issues such as daily script spam, more regular raids. Now people whine about how the janitor should basically wipe their ass, i.e cleaning up any topic they don't strictly agree with. It's the attitude towards them that has slowly distorted over time as newer people have come around. Like AoC reign was only extremely strict for like 3 months, but previously all the janitors were very lax.

It seems a lot of new folks are under some impression that the janitor is suppose to police, and delete any thread which they personally don't agree with. It's like they're asking to be babysat in my view.

We had several score / gameplay threads this past week.

You must be one of those fucking pieces of shit that already left and checks back like once a month to try to say "oh no /jp/ is finished this time, everyone come with me to (ghost town board) it's the only way"

In case you haven't noticed, despite all the incredible shit we've gone through our populace has grown and continues to keep nominal threads (such as vn translation, comiket etc) intact. Screencap spam's mostly stopped too, /jp/ is actually gaining a somewhat terse relationship with other boards as people get tired of /a/ and /v/ and check us out. Not everyone from /a/ and /v/ is unworthy of being here, the fact that they want to leave their shitholes alone suggests that they are above the greentext and doubles shit. Despite all the pessimism and angst we've still grown hugely over the past three years, it used to be that we had like one post per couple of minutes, now /jp/ is faster than most of the other small boards and is now larger than other boards that have been here a lot longer.. such as /m/, while we're on the subject.

So either stay here and help train the newfags properly, or leave, and let them dictate the new rules as what happened to /a/. Fuck that "take my ball and go home" attitude, we need to seize the chance to develop more, our board's very existence is a middle finger up the ass of the normalfags shitting up and flooding 4chan, it is one of the last vestiges of the olds days, don't let those newfag normalfag idiots completely win.

Still, it's hard to get the current moderation involved enough (they're apathetic towards the board at best) to deal with the problems that a janitor is supposed to deal with, like the spam that just won't stop.

What I fear the most is that no matter what kind of moderation we get it won't change anything because it all comes down to the userbase itself and we might be too far off the deep end by now. Somehow getting a great moderator wouldn't make the board any better because we're too corrupted by the bitterness and boredom.

That's tohno chan down to a tee. TC is a fucking ghost town, /jp/ is far too small to try to migrate anything because we'd splinter and end up like them. In other words waiting weeks for a single response on one of the many specific boards there.

/bun/ had the right idea of just making it a single board, but /bun/ is also a ghost town, dead in the water.

You're reading to much into what I said. I acknowledge your points about the screencap spam and growing visual novel community. My point was about how those topics getting tiring and we don't have a lot of brand new shiny content.

After browsing /jp/ so long you become self-sufficient. You don't need people to recommend visual novels, games, music or anything. You already know what you want and only really lurk around for possible things you may have missed. Not everyone is all that into visual novels, touhou(games), music(vocaloid,touhou,comiket).
