Garbage in /sci/ Anonymous Thu Oct 29 17:09:11 2015 No.7624376 [Reply] [Original]

What can be done about the amount of garbage here in /sci/? I know some people will post here saying this thread is garbage, but it might be interesting to have a real discussion about this.

Examples of garbage include:
- Anything about Wildberger, Mochizuki, clock kid, etc.
- Anything about memes (with the exception of when "meme" is being used properly, but even then these discussions are usually dumb)
- Anything ranking university majors
- Anything about grade-school arithmetic (order of operations, etc.)

And then there's the miscellaneous garbage that doesn't fit into any of the above categories. It would be nice if /sci/ were more like physicsforums.com. In a perfect world, /sci/ would be more serious, but at the same time people would more freedom than on physics forums (e.g. use swear words, etc.)

Basically, I think we should just add more rules, and have all threads which don't obey the rules deleted, and the poster should be banned as well. But banning the user might be a little heavy handed.

How did you not mention the HW flooding that's been happening these past several months? /sci/ always had retards posting HW help, but never so many as now. Half the front page is usually HW threads or poorly disguised HW threads. Honestly, need some visible permanent bans for these fucks spamming their trivial nonsense--there are so few discussion threads anymore.
