/sci/ - Science & Math

brb, trolling scichan

>The mods have made it very clear that they do not give two halves of a fuck about this board
what mods

sweet!

Argh, why did you make seperate boards for applied and natural sciences?

Fix that asap and I'll contribute everything I've been holding back.

Advertising a 'trolless' *chan here is a perfect plan that can not fail.

well /sci/ it's been nice knowing ya

>>1282429

And advertising it on the most troll-infested of all the chans.

>>1282447

that's what he meant
>hurr durr i've been trolled derp

>>1282421
I was also thinking something in the lines of 3.14chan: http://ib4f.com/board/science/

The way it was split was perfect.

>>1282447
Although the boards had a recent re-organization (so most posts were lost), there were only a couple trolls in the very beginning, and they were instantly taken care of.

>>1282421
A lot of people complain about something not "really" being science, but "applied science". If you have something that fits both /nsci/ and /asci/, don't be afraid to post it in /osci/!

breaking it up to science and not science and all that is a bad idea.
You should start with one for starters, and break it up later if there's enough trafic.

>>1282397
Trolling is what makes /sci/ fun.

You now realize only about 7 people are the actual nerds of /sci/. This is mainly /b/ runoff and /v/irgins trying to be smart.

>>1282486
>Trolling is what makes /sci/ fun.
no you fuckhead this is what ruined /sci/. You weren't here in the first two weeks where we had math grads discussing advanced math, and there was even a guy teaching logic. You fuckheads ruined this board with your idiotic crap, go back to fucking /b/ or /v/ you'll be greeted with open arms there.

>>1282501
This. A thousand times this.

>>1282501
>go back to fucking /b/ or /v/ you'll be greeted with open arms there.

/v/ doesn't want them, either.

I propose moot wordfilters the following for an instant 3 day ban from /sci/...
-evolution/ist/ary
-geuss
-magnets
-creationism/ist
-300,000
-atheism/ist
-god
-anything else that becomes a favorite of trolls.

>>1282511
and yet no one complains in half the threads which are not vidya related, face it /v/ is the new /b/

>>1282528
bad idea

It just needs a mod who clears out the trash once in a while

Overmodding is bad, people will become overly selfconscious about what to say and some of the interesting stuff and ideas simply won't get talked about because of it.

going to go CP-bomb scichan and savor the butthurt. I'll bring back screens

>>1282562
i emailed moot, and probably about 20 other people did too, but he's probably too busy fighting 4chan spammers to read our emails.

>>1282397
That's really appreciated, but /sci/ is already a slowish board (on 4chan of all places, which has hundreds of thousands of regular users). Can you imagine how slow scichan is going to be? There's no point and we would be better off trying to improve /sci/ before a mass exodus.

/sci/ is a very niche board.

>>1282573
>improve /sci/

This is ridiculous.

sage

>>1282562
The moderation is anonymous and is strictly to filter out trolling and rule-breaking. Everything else we just don't really care about.

sage for idiotic faggots, advertise your shit someplace else

>>1282609
bump to counteract said sage. I'm not advertising anywhere else other than this thread, I'm keeping very nicely to one thread and I'm only making a thread like once a day.

>>1282622
Fucking offer moot to moderate his board first, instead of making a clone...

This is ridiculous, shut up.

moot doesn't give a shit.

sage for not science

>>1282636
moot is busy making 4chan 2.0, i think it was called canv.as or something like that

>>1282655
why don't you sage your troll threads

>>1282657
It's code named "Last Measure" - and if you try to link to it on the boards it gets banned. Search google for it though, it's pretty cool.

>>1282397


How about this, GTFO this board.

Don't advertise in /sci/.

I frequented your boards, I do not see any substantial benefits by quitting this board and transitioning to yours. You claim your boards have less trolls and more intelligent postings. I yet to see either.

I'd like to see you not advertise anymore, it is quit annoying and unprofessional

Alright thank you for trying pico, but your board got off on the wrong foot.

I saw that initially you even made 6 subboards: [ ] bio [ ] chm [ ] csc [ ] eng [ ] mth [ ] phy

http://scichan.org/sug/res/55.html#55
http://scichan.org/sug/res/76.html#76

Even split the current way it's not going to be good..

Gonna need more specific boards for some major sciences, like math, bio, physics, chemistry, engineering, separated by theme like

Math:Calculus, Algebra, Geometry, Topology, etc...

Bio: Zoology, Infectology, Anatomy, Botanics, etc...

Physics: Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Optics, Astronomy,etc...

Chemistry: Organic, Mineral, Analithic Chemistry,etc...

Computer Science: Data Banks, Cloud Computing, Programming Language specific boards, etc...

Engineering: EE, ME, CE, NE etc...

Scientific Softwares: Maple, Matlab, Mathematica, Labview, Origin, Winplot, StatD, Minitab, Eagle, Tango, PSPICE, etc...

Scientific Games: The Incredible Machine, Powder Toy, etc..

>>1282677 unprofessional

4chan srs business

>>1282681
everyone always forgets us neuroscientists ;_;

>>1282681
maybe when they reach 10 million users like 4chan

>>1282501
>there was even a guy teaching logic
I remember that. Wasn't he the fag that said something is valid only if it is sound, and then gave no other definition for it?

>>1282681
>>1282681

You're going to need a lot more active contributors for that to be viable

(>>1282680 here)

OK so some people e.g >>1282681 want hyperspecific subboards.. Incompatible wishes..

>>1282397
You are unoriginal, you kept the same name, layout and format of /sci/

>>1282668
wow i almost fell for that man, i'm an oldfag so its been a while since i saw gnaa shit but my troll senses were tingling

>>1282707
i don't know what he said, i didn't pay attention too much since i already took a logic course but his name was "the logician" , hell it's probably the same guy how many people have we had teaching logic in /sci/

>>1282704
>>1282710

This. At the moment, we can't have very many boards, as there simply aren't enough users. At the moment they're divided up based on level of application, and I think that's going pretty well so far. When we get up on our feet and going solid this could be a more realistic option for us.

http://scichan.org/sug/res/80.html

This guy's suggestion is really good, and if we can get it set in place I think it'll be great, and it solves all the worry about separate boards.

>>1282714
Because imageboards are totally unique to 4chan.

>>1282729
Why are you trying to steal users from /sci/ over to your crappy forums? Your site is no better than this one. I'd rather have freedom of speech, than a mod randomly deleting a post for no reason other than "trolling" which they may/may not be able to prove. You didn't bother to change the forum name form /sci/ you are using the same layout and coming here to convert users. Go away.

>>1282723
Yeah, that's him.

>goto SciChan, find you laugh you loose, some notes on Eignevalues, and nothing else.

>>1282739
About the layout comment, see
>>1282733

I'm a frequenter of /sci/, and I hate to see it overrun with trolls. SciChan is simply an outlet for people to discuss Science and the like without trolls getting in the way. Moderation is lenient and completely anonymous, the focus on moderation is to delete/ban obvious troll threads, not to keep people from discussing what they wish to discuss.

>>1282691
i lurv you, what field are you working in? me: memory,

I just don't want you fucking namefags spamming your board here GTFO

HAHAHA, WHO'S GOING TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK NOW TROLLS?

LOL

VERY RELATED THREAD...

>>>/b/245036152

>>1282821
Hmm, I wonder if it was you who posted that thread?

>are you fucking serious, theres like 20 posts across the entire website, not worth my time, gtfo.

no obligation to post on it seriously, no movitation to troll it.

fuck off loser.

>>1282832
This.
>>1282821
I laughed. Really hard. I make two threads letting users know of a place to post if they're pissed about moot not doing shit about the trolls, and you get angry enough to try to organize a raid against the site. I'm not spamming, I'm just letting /sci/ know with one thread (two threads total, one when site first launched and one now). I think you're funny.

Don't advertise your shitty chan clone.

>>1282397

Dude

You should remove most of the boards.

You don't have enough traffic to justify them.

Just have one single board and then if users request more because it becomes cluttered you can add more.

At the moment there is not enough traffic on separate boards and that means no discussions.

>>1282847
when I said no obligation to post on it, I meant not yet, all new 'chans' go through a rough patch.

I used to run jbchan.org. Doesn't even exist anymore.

guess what the jb stood for lol

>>1282864
This is what operatorchan did and that's fairly successful.

Start off small.

>>1282397
>general faggotry
>self refference

>>1282875
Operatorchan is a joke. srsly.

>>1282847
Does this place support LaTeX? Not leaving this place for a science board in only plaintext.

>>1282884
supports jsmath :|

>>1282882
Yeah, they pander to the tripfag 'celebrities' and personalities but fuck, if I want to read posts about guns I don't go to /k/ anymore.

Thanks for inviting me and mah tros to scichan; looking forward to talking about Jesus there 24/7

>>1282884
>>1282886
Yes, we have full jsMath/LaTeX support

>>1282912
can't wait

I can't post on there, so fuck it.

I am "forbidden on this server".

>sciChan doesn't suck!
>/sci/ does
>advertise scichan to /sci/ users

OP you just went full retard.

I like the hide thread feature though!

it's nice to have that without addons.

> Ignoring the moderation filter between the two

>>1282919
It's a bug that we've been dealing with lately, if you try again it should work. It happens when you visit a page at the same time someone posts.

>>1282528
>suggesting banning evolution from a science related board
maths' aspie much?

Pico is the new Kimmo Alm he banned me for no reason whatsoever!!!! FUCK YOU DICK FACE.

I HAVE FREE SPEECH IF I WANT TO TALK ABOUT ATHEISTS AND EVOLUTION I'LL DO SO.

>>1282397


Sir your image board is the same thing as it is here, except without any religious trolls.... I still see homework threads and such.

Might want to step up moderation.

I reported the /b/ thread.

:D

>>1282950
atm the only bans we've had are obvious trolls, people from /b/ and whatnot. If that's not the case, hit me up with an email and I'll look into it ASAP.

Hey, asshole, I am a PhD student in evolutionary biology. According to some dickheads here, my field is a bannable offense.

Are your servers located in the south or something?

>>1282976
fucking agreed

>>1282976
Evolution =/= Science vs. Religion. You're free to discuss Evolution in SciChan.

>>1282976
PhD Forestry here.

Same objection.

>>1282992

>>1282976 here.

I laughed.

Who else thinks pico is annoying?

>>1283004
Everyone that isn't pico.

>>1282991
pico you do sound like a nice guy, you really do, and I am sure your intentions are for the greater good of popularizing and discussing science but I really don't think that's the right place to advertize it...

my opinion is that 4chan is popular enough at the moment to promote what you are trying to do but suggesting us to leave it behind and drag the trolls with us to some other chan no one has heard about which is operated only by a you and a handful of your e-friends would not help...

>>1283003
you douche making fun of my PhD ;_;

Pico, if you're going to do this, be smart about it.

Advertise on Rhizome. Less trolls there, and it'll slowly reach the denizens of good /sci/ posters whilst pushing away trolls.

>>1283042
wat? Rhizome has an imageboard or at least an image-heavy forum?

I'd rather have a shitty board than a dead one.

>>1283046
No we don't.
>>1283042
Trust me, it'll be largely ignored, just like the IRC channel.

>>1283029
The key here is the moderation filter, where people of /sci/ can go *without* the trolls.

>>1283042
Thanks for your suggestion, I'll certainly take it into consideration.

>>1283003
oh sorry that's probably a Master's in english.... linguistic chasm in the titles.

>>1283069
What would you do if say, someone thought you board sucked and advertised on your site getting your users to switch to their new site?

>tripfag
>too much text
>shitty picture
>A Science imageboard that doesn't SUCK
What a faggot.

>>1283119
I'd talk to them about why they think it sucks, and take their suggestions into consideration, and as long as they kept it to a single thread and didn't spam it, I really wouldn't care all that much.

bumping this shit

scichan won't be siphoning good new users out of the gay/b/ar like /sci/ does
