I still laugh at how 4chan doesn't understand what sage means.

If only I knew moon so I wouldn't have to spend time on a board that imports foreign concepts and then DOES IT WRONG all the time.

Using sage as a way to "insult" someone's post or thread is just completely wrong and a retarded misuse of a good feature that is so popular in sites like 2ch and Futaba. Fuck, iichan and 4-ch do it right. It's just 4chan and 4chan's lame knockoffs that fail at using sage.

The true meaning of sage means that YOUR POST isn't worthy enough to bump the thread. It's ironic, because you think that you're insulting others while you're just, in fact, insulting yourself. Yes, sage can be used when posting a derogatory comment in a thread that you don't want to bump, but posting with just the word "sage" accomplishes nothing but contribute to spamming the board. The trend of replying with the name of a tripfag and sage is even worse, as it accomplishes nothing and only serves to increase the e-penis of whoever you're "attacking".

The sage feature was never meant to serve as an implied insult or general disagreement! Why people started using it that way is beyond me. There are plenty of reasons why one would choose not to bump a thread with his reply. For example, bumping threads with stupid one liner replies should be discouraged and those people should be coerced into using sage instead.

I want to use sage, yet I almost never do it on 4chan because people will jump on me thinking I'm insulting their post or something.

God I hate how /jp/ tries to show off with using sage "the Japanese way".

Whenever a newfriend turns up here it's always a matter of minutes before some posturing /jp/ genius comes along and goes on a detailed explanation of how "We here at /jp/" use the sage function, complete with pompous tone as if it's some incredible achievement.

Guys it's nothing to be proud of, you're not the only board that manages to do it and no one is impressed. I am fucking embarrassed to have people like that represent /jp/.

I know this is copy-pasta but this is wrong shit and wreaks of elite newfagness. Since day 1 futaba and 2ch have used "sage" to say that your thread is shit, much like how the rest of 4chan does now.

You go onto 2chan's cat board and post pictures of dead cats and watch what happens.

See also "Ho ho! I see you have committed to a common misconception, new friend. The confusing fact of the matter is that us enlightened gentlemen at /jp/ aren't actually interested in Japan. Please make your thread elsewhere!"

Again, no one impressed. The most annoying thing is that it's blatantly obvious you haven't even thought about this -- you've just seen people post it on /jp/, imagined they are "oldfags" (and therefore worth imitating, right?) then re-posted their shit over and over again, but usually worded even more pathetically.

Stop.

I all i did was repost it around.
And /jp/ doesn't show off about using "sage" the Japanese way we just don't want stupid nerds from other boards getting angry because their thread got "saged" or something.

It's not "the Japanese way". Go to any other imageboard that's not 4chan or a disgusting copy of it, and you'll find the same behavior.

The stupid thing is that people think it has to be one or the other. Sage just means you don't want to bump the thread, but you still want to make a comment about it. Depending on the context, that can mean that the poster thinks it's a shitty thread, or it can mean that the poster simply wants to have a discussion without needlessly bumping the thread, but for some reason most people think that only one of the two above uses is the "correct" way to use sage.

>> No.7050148

I see, thanks for the clarification.
But I'm pretty sure they also have timed deletion.

It's pronounced "reported for off-topic threads".

>>7050143
Furthermore, it's more commonly the former than the latter. In nearly all cases, you'll be able to judge the quality of a thread and how relevant it is to /jp/ by how much people use sage in it. Some people will bump shitty threads, and some people will sage good threads, but it stays a general rule that shitty threads gets saged more often.

No, they don't. Each board has a limited number of total posts, and when the limit is reached, the oldest thread on the board gets deleted. The approximate time that a thread is going to disappear is estimated by looking at when it was posted and how fast the current posting rate is, but it's not exact.

Post on topic with noko+sage and kill threads. Works every time.
