Peterson B& when

[Anonymous No.10652434]

I think an ad hoc rule of having one Peterson megathread, with no other Peterson threads allowed until that thread expires, would definitely help clean the place up for a while.

That's because none of them have read the book, he's a youtuber. Peterson threads either need to be banned or put into a containment general as >>10652473 suggested, if the mods don't want outright ban him because he's published. Board quality has noticeably declined since he became popular.

mods are moving the threads, but they're moving them to /pol/ or /his/. /his/ is better than /pol/ (who are also being spammed and think he's just another jew to exterminate) but /tv/ or /adv/ are probably closer to what peterson's demographic is about.

what worries me more is that mods are being drawn to /lit/ by reporting the spamming, and from there it's a very short step to them deleting lolita and other genuine /lit/ threads because they don't read either.

Something has to be done about this YouTuber influx. There should be a blanket ban on posting YouTube links, Twitter posts, news article headlines, or a screenshot of any of the above.

I’m explicitly talking about right now. Having a mainboard was a great smokescreen for normies, but there’s too many of them.

My actual solution would be a /phil/ to absorb all the culture war shit, with the “/lit/ threads need to be centred around a book” being properly enforced, but mods are too dumb for that.

All containment boards do is cause the vermin-like thoughts to propagate. They could surrounded by their own and intense themself and their ideas. That with their big army of rats they go out to the rest of 4chan. The only time containment books have worked is when it resulted in a bann to talk about it anywhere else; for instance MLP.

[Anonymous No.10652891]

Honestly sick of you morons who keep complaing about the 'state' of the board, if you see a thread that is off topic do not reply to it, the more replies a thread gets the less likley it is to be deleted and more likley it would be moved. Honestly /lit/ has better moderation than /his/ or /mu/, if you want the board to be better stop making shit threads and stop replying to shit threads. fucking idiots.

>Mods never deleted lolita threads. Most (99%)of what they delete deserves to be deleted or moved
Yeah they have. Also threads about pedophilia lit charts. It's the standard normie reaction to finding out what's in some books.

Normally though /lit/ kicks up enough shit about it the next one won't get deleted, but there are anons who'll report that shit and mods who'll delete it. A lot of people are uncomfortable with shit that's in books, and there are some books which barely pass the "legal in the US" standard. (The books that don't pass that standard obviously will get deleted, but threads on those are as rare as hen's teeth, whereas a Nabokov thread is a pretty common, legal, example)

To be fair, most threads about her are just filled with quotes from her work. True they tend to be quotes about French postmodernists being wrong of little value besides philippic, but that is a recognised genre.

The others mentioned like Evola, Rupi Kaur, and Sam Hyde aren't as /lit/less threads and not spammed so much. Kaur gets spammed when she's in the news/just published, but it is a legit /lit/ thread when those happen, unlike Sam Hyde (which is really rare as a thread and that anon is smoking some serious shit if he thinks it's regular outside his head).

>>10653863
>this is what commies actually think
Commies are /pol/. Leftypol is not a board, it's also /pol/. And even Stalin said left and right have no place in literature because they are Party words. He even started the Leave Britney Alone meme, because everyone was trying to get him to arrest Pasternak after the CIA badly translated Zhivago to win the Nobel he didn't accept.

We really need a new site. I’ve been boatshedding an idea for a site where threads have to be linked to a canonical id for some item(IMDB, ISBN, Steam listing, Wikipedia page etc.), with boards centred around the source as a proxy for medium(a /tv/ populated exclusively with IMDB, /lit/ with ISBN, /mu/ with AcoustID fingerprint). It’d help with off topic posts, as well as allowing for subboards to pop up based around popular media(a filter for threads on 12 Rules for Life could be a proxy for a Peterson board).

Not only does literature have a connotation of vagueness to it beyond explicitly referencing books- what do you think would happen if 'half those threads' which are not /lit/ according to you, got deleted?

If you want overzealous mods who enforced the rules to a tee, go to reddit, and I don't mean that with contempt, seriously go to reddit.

The shitposts get deleted, go check the archive, there is only so much people can do in the sense of moderation. The rest is up to what the community wants to discuss, and with it comes others who say it is not literature related.
