Now that I think about it, I would have a hard time deleting most threads. Is yukkuri abuse allowed? I personally don't enjoy it, but that doesn't mean anything. But it features Touhou characters, which are /jp/ related. And the people in the thread seem to be having fun. But is it also guro? Guro doesn't belong here. I don't think I'd get anything done.

The only enjoyment that I would get as a janitor is to follow NSJ around deleting his shitposts.

He targets individuals and deletes their on-topic comments. Besides, 4chan is a shithole, and no matter how prestigious it may sound to be given admin rights on a large imageboard, he still essentially has to delete shitposting /a/ and /v/ users threads.

I normally just ignore shit threads or troll the OP of them. I started to report NSJ's cosplay threads, though.

I can only be janitor for a single board at first, which won't be /jp/. But if I do good, they'll let me branch out into other boards. I'll come back for you /jp/, I promise, just stay alive until then!

>> No.9532515

>>9532497
I am not advocating off topic posting but you really sound like a uptight asshole. Also I see none of those anywhere on the board
(except the FFT thread which is completely harmless). I am sure to you 'setting an example' would be to wipe threads out without thinking of the consequences.

I think there is a perfect balance with our current janitors right now and it is my hope that the staff will not consider any applications for /jp/ but keep possible candidates on file for the future. If you think having more janitors on hand will somehow magically create better content then you are horribly wrong.

The janitor system is dumb, it's a very rare chance you'll find a competent person to carry out the task. A lot of boards just get some dick who deletes on topic stuff and leaves ambiguous meta-shit up, all this does is create angry shitposters.

>> No.9532522

>>9532488
Not him, but the problem is how inconsistent they are. No doubt you will have noticed a lot of depression and suicide threads sticking around. Now, I think the odd NEET/hikikomori thread is fine, but there was a sticky telling people specifically *not* to make threads blogging about themselves. Meanwhile, plenty of /jp/-related threads get caught in the crossfire. Check /ghost/.

Largely, I think it's because the janitors aren't too familiar with the board material. Here's an example:
https://fuuka.warosu.org/jp/thread/S9523262
Janitor doesn't know his shmups.

Even Touhou, I once posted a thread asking about Genji:
https://fuuka.warosu.org/jp/thread/9200650
Janitor deleted it, so I explained (then deleted my own thread because it wasn't that important or interesting):
https://fuuka.warosu.org/jp/thread/9200654
In his defence, the janitor actually reposted my thread "apologising" for his mistake:
https://fuuka.warosu.org/jp/thread/9200666
>sorry.jpg

I think by and large, the janitors are doing a great job. It's just that they delete in bursts, and a lot of good threads happen to be in the middle of it. It's as though they've just woken up or got back from school, so they're trying to make up for lost time.

>>9532519
I think the biggest problem with janitors is that people who shitpost do it for attention, so even if their thread gets deleted, they consider that getting attention, and they'll just keep shitposting, because they know the actual mods won't ever do shit and they won't get banned.

I'm going to be controversial here and say
>board X is not good enough for me so I'll post it on /jp/
is, in a roundabout way, a valid defense.

/jp/ is for Japanese popular culture that doesn't go in /a/. That means if someone wants to post about a Japanese band here instead of /mu/, let them. Same with figures and plushies here instead of /toy/. Same with mahjong here instead of /tg/. If people want to make the odd thread about something that has a board of its own but it meets those first criteria, why not let them? I agree that it becomes a problem when it swamps the board, which is why /jp/ had these ideas in place originally. If we allowed a whole bunch of anime threads, /jp/ would just be /a/. But the occasional thread about Japanese musician and songwriter Taiji Sawada dying is not a huge problem. We need more topics, not less.

>Saten spam

I'd just like to intrject for a moment. What you're referring to as Saten spam, is in fact, light novel threads, or as I've recently taken to calling them, /jp/ related threads. Saten is not spam unto itself, but rather another character of fully /jp/ related material made /jp/ related by the fact that she is in a light novel, visual novel and doujin games comprising a full set of requirements to be /jp/ related as defined by the /jp/ rules.

Many /jp/ users post light novel characters every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Saten threads which are widely posted today are often called spam, and many of /jp/'s users are not aware that she is completely /jp/ related, developed by the light novels which are allowed by the rules.

There really is an anime, and these people are posting screencaps from it, but it is just a part of the Saten they post. The anime is the kernel: the derivative work that introduces newcomers and allocates them to the light novels. The anime is an essential part of Raildex, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of the light novels. The anime is normally used in combination with the Raildex light novels: the whole system is basically the light novels with the anime added, making it /jp/ related. All the so-called Saten spam threads are really threads of a /jp/ related character.

>> No.9532560

>>9532546
Japanese bands, sure. But how random music threads are /jp/ related is beyond my comprehension. Same for camera and fishing threads, those certainly look like some sort of trollbaits.
As for JRPGs, the mod already commented on this, saying that games without VN elements should go on /v/vg/.

>If by "caught in the crossfire" you mean a thread getting deleted due to a lot of shitposting, off topic discussion or NSFW content then that is standard policy.

I mean threads being deleted during a high volume of other shit threads or spam, usually when there's a high level of janitor activity.

>Janitors aren't perfect, we are all humans and as humans we sometimes make mistakes.

Agreed, and I think people are too harsh about this.

>Rather than bitching about your thread getting deleted you could have made it again while explaining what you were referencing.

I did! Read the Genji threads I posted. The janitor acknowledged his mistake. But I think that a /jp/ janitor should know his Touhous.

On a coincidental note, that thread you linked was also mine. I get what you mean by
>a thread getting deleted due to a lot of shitposting, off topic discussion or NSFW content then that is standard policy.
but think about that. Look at what happened to my Spice & Wolf thread. This means that if you want a thread deleted, you just have to shitpost in it. The janitor won't delete *your* posts, he will delete the thread. I get that sometimes threads are unsalvageable, but it sets a dangerous precedent and it's largely due to laziness on the janitors' parts.

>> No.9532566

I think the largest problem really is that the janitors delete in quick bursts and then let the shit fester in any way it pleases.

For the start it would not matter all that much what exactly their rules would be for deleting things (those could be fine-tuned later). To make a beginning /jp/ needs some consistency in regards of the moderation.

However, /jp/ is a topical board. It has an (ill-defined) topic, “otaku culture”. Those 2hu cosplay threads are really more related to the board than NEET threads or cocksucking threads. You could say those cosplay threads should get the hell out of /jp/ and that they belong on >>>/cgl/, (which would not be wrong), but then you should post your 2hu and CAVE and visual novels on /v/ or /vg/, H Tōhō dōjins would go on >>>/h/ (or often >>>/d/), non-H Tōho dōjins would go on /a/.
You can’t really slam a janitor for leaving cosplay threads up but deleting NEET threads.

Anyway long story short /jp/ does not need any additional janitors. They have and are doing a fantastic job and things are well balanced I would say.

They should stop deleting threads in bursts, as if they wanted me to notice they are finally here or something. I know they are normals with jobs and are more busy than I am and crap, but please don't slam that fact in my face.

Long story short, the janitor left and the next shift is in 10 hours.

Enjoy your shitposts.

I'm going to apply and if I get elected I'll make /jp/ a heaven, I promise.

I'll delete all the shitposting, ironic or not, by myself. Off topic threads with pics of touhous in the OP will also be deleted. Flanfly will also be deleted because it's flood, it's better to stop it on its track now before it becomes some EPIC /jp/ DAILY DOSE XD. I swear I'd try my hardest to make /jp/ a high quality board...

Translation:
I am going to kill the /jp/.

The janitor's job is to delete spam and rule-breaking threads. Playing quality control police isn't really his job.

I think they're doing a decent job, but I'm still going to put in an application.

Begone with your fancy characters.

I would honestly like Touhou cosplay threads, though. I like seeing the costumes people make. Shame some trolls and autistic nerds decide they will inevitably be bombarded with drama, even if they have to be the ones that make it happen.

Did I say I enjoy blogging thread or those pathetic depression thread?

Deleting touhou thread and shump thread while keeping some con troll thread show how incompetent NSJ is. I dont even know why anyone is defending him. He caused more harm than good.

People are going to take you less seriously if you use a forced /b/-tier catchphrase. Just saying.

I am genuinely convinced that there are shitposters out there who voice their opinion like this because they want /jp/ to stay the same as it does now, so that their shitposting wouldn't be threatened by anyone.
