ITT: /lit/ is a new board. We need to define what is and is not acceptable here.

inb4 that's what mods are for, haha yeah right

Here are my proposals for unacceptable threads, add your own:

1.) "What book should I read next?" - fuck you, these threads suck, 99% of the responses are 5 words or less. Use amazon or something.

2.) "Critique my writing!" - fuck you, you don't want us to critique your writing because your writing sucks and when we tell you that you get butthurt. If you want to have someone critique your writing take an English course at a community college or something. Not even being sarcastic that's not a bad idea.

3.) Ayn Rand anything

4.) Anything about politics/religion/philosophy. This is /lit/. This is not /pol/ or /rel/ or /phil/. We don't even have those boards here. Go to 420chan if you want that shit.

Pic very related.

I'm perfectly fine with having those on this board myself.

Otherwise, I agree.

Kinda hard to ignore material when it makes up 90% of the threads.

It's one thing to have threads I don't like. Those I will ignore. Like a thread talking about C.S. Lewis. I'm not into C.S. Lewis so I'd ignore that thread.

But all that shit in my OP is pure unadulterated cancer. None of those 4 things are /lit/ related.

Also I didn't say anything about literature related to politics/religion/etc. I said threads ABOUT those things. There have been more and more threads where the OP is directly "herp derp what if were a brain in a vat". If you want to talk about that shit go on 420chan.

Maybe as opposed to having writing critiques, people can just post the stuff they're working on. I've actually read some pretty cool stuff here, it's just that the threads devolve into mindless trolling afterward. Also, most authors seem to take the criticisms in stride.

yes, constructive discussions about topics relative to our interests are sooo much worse than people posting combos, invasion requests, and stephanie meyer.

oh, let's not forget people like you who create threads to bitch about this shit rather than just ignoring it, not bumping fail threads, and letting the mods get bizzay with the anti-cancer sprizzay.

I did post some of my writing once. It was erotica about a woman whose doctor had been molesting her for 20 years, and the few responses it got were favorable.

So there.

OP is still trolling, he only said this because he knows it's picked up enough momentum to keep going without him. The fact that he says this and the thread still gets 200+ posts (prove me wrong but you know it's coming) will troll people.

I know you OP. We trolls, we're all the same really.
