/lit/ meta thread: board changes edition

[Anonymous No.19384168]

Why does /sci/ get LaTeX support but we, the literature board, lack even basic word processor functionality like bold, italics, etc? It would improve user experience dramatically and it would be extremely easy to implement. A board dedicated to reading and writing shouldn't lack basic formatting.
Also, increase the character limit per post to 5000.

OP you are a ray of sunshine on this shitty board. This is a fantastic suggestion.

[Anonymous No.19384213]

>>19384168
Never thought about this before but /lit/ really is long overdue for this. Hopefully the mods/Hiro will deliver.

[Anonymous No.19384217]

>>19384168
I give my support!

[Anonymous No.19384246]

>>19384168
hell yeah

[Anonymous No.19384290]

this would make /lit/ by far the best board, pls Yukio Mishimoot, this way I can write racial slurs in bold letters

[Anonymous No.19384724]

4chan used to support bbcode.
The only tag we have left is "spoiler".

How about markdown? That's generally functional.

No. We don't need more fucking walls of text

[Anonymous No.19385269]

>>19384168
Great writers wrote without any of that word processor bullshit. A word is a word.
Raising the character limit would be good, though.

[Anonymous No.19386097]

>>19385269
And great writers have written with it. Why limit yourself unnecessary?

I propose we add upvote and downvote buttons.

[Anonymous No.19386119]

>>19384168
I, on behalf of both /lit/ and /his/, propose the creation of the /god/ board, because half of /his/ is Catholics and protestants sniping at each other, and it keeps leaking into /lit/, too, through innocent "what version of the Bible should I read" threads.

[Anonymous No.19386147]

>>19384168
Just give us LaTeX support and forcefont cmr-12

5k character limit sounds horrendous

Imagine how many times you could write the word nigger in 5000 characters.

Imagine.

what was the title of the last Great Book you read that had fucking bold text and italics in it??

/lit/ only needs one change: permabanning all variations of the butterfly name and people who engage with her to derail threads

[Anonymous No.19387144]

833 without spaces

Lit sucks rn because no one has been able to keep up read because of COVID. I don't think these changes will help but I appreciate the sentiment man.

this was pretty great

[Anonymous No.19387221]

I actually fully support this. I think a God board would be immensley cool and could also allow for some good theological growth for the young ones.
Mods, please seriously consider this as the main solution for our humble humanities section.

[Anonymous No.19387237]

>>19386119
Also, the headline on this would be amazing: "4chan found God"

Very good idea but Hiro and mods don't fucking care about this site, so we probably get nothing.

[Anonymous No.19387983]

>>19384168
Based OP. They should have done this a long time ago

[Anonymous No.19388348]

In principle I think it's a good idea.
In practice however I tend to think that relying on italics and bold to highlight certain words is just poor form.
I mean just imagine your typical tryhard philosophy post but now the poster keeps italicizing the word "metaphysics" for no reason. Absolutely fucking disgusting.

[Anonymous No.19388986]

For once, OP was based

That's only one use of bold and italics.

[Anonymous No.19389021]

you should have to complete six different captchas in order to post, you should only be allowed to post once an hour, half the character limit, delete warosu.

There are at least 3 archives for /lit/

I don't care about any of that shit but give us a 500 post per thread limit like /a/ has. also expel dumb frogposters.

[Anonymous No.19389709]

make it /rel/ to include non-deity religions

[Anonymous No.19389718]

>>19389021
all the archives should be deleted because /write/anons may have posted clips of their work in the threads that could come back to haunt them in the future, given how politcally correct and anal retentive the publishing industry is.

That's why they post it as an image rather than text, dummy. So it doesn't get picked up by searches.

[Anonymous No.19391080]

BUMP

[Anonymous No.19391134]

>>19384168
none of that shit enhances literature in any way and in settings like 4chan it is only ever abused to make extremely obnoxious posts and will kill 4chan. that shit is for technical documents, not literature.
