How come no board other than /jp/ knows how to use sage correctly?

[Anonymous No.]

I'm not sure I really understand its use!

>implying /jp/ uses it correctly

[Anonymous No.]

Because we superior nipponese race.

Because the FAQ used to have this wonderful gem:

>2. Sage
>
>a. What is saging?
>Saging is the process of replying to a topic without bumping it, in order to add to its post count.
>
>b. Why should I care?
>When a post reaches a certain post count, it cannot be bumped. By saging a post, you are in effect causing it to be pruned faster, and disallowing it from being bumped further.
>
>c. How do I sage?
>
>To sage, simply enter "sage" without quotes into the e-mail field in your reply.

Even now, it's not much better:

>Entering "sage" (by itself) into the [E-mail] field while replying will cause the thread not to bump to the top of the page, while still counting against its reply count. Threads that reach their reply limit can no longer be bumped, causing them to sink to the back pages and be pruned more quickly. Abusing the sage function by "sage-bombing" is frowned upon and may result in a ban.

There's even:

>sage-bombing [...] a sticky may result in a ban

Which makes no sense.

Also mods like W.T. Snacks used to ban people for "saging a snacks thread". So all in all, it's perfectly understandable how 4chan took it to be an insult.

Other boards just nokosage; /jp/ likes to show its contempt.

Other boards don't even know nokosage exists.

#wow, #whoa

nokosage is dumb anyway. The humility of our Japanese spirit is an integral part of opting to not bump a thread.

I seem to forget to sage like, 3 out of 5 times. How do I get used to it, everyone?

I know the better /a/utists know how it's used. Yes, I've let myself become dirtied by /a/. It's the only other board I post on.
Of course, /a/ has a lot more visitors of the more casual kind than /jp/, so whether or not you see sage being used correctly depends entirely on the thread you're in.
