/sci/ - Science & Math

>>9371096
It's 4chan. It's supposed to be appealing to 12yo social retards with personality disorders. If it's not shitty enough, the mods have to step in and trim out some of the more sane, rational stuff that bores and confuses the retards and mentally ill users. It's the only way to keep things moving.

>>9371096
Fuck off. Low moderation outside explicit porn posting is what makes 4chan good, the opposite of which makes shitholes like /v/ and /a/ absolutely miserable hugbox censorfag garbage boards.

Take your feelings and go die with them.

>Low moderation
It came off wrong. What I really want to say is this.

Fuck off, you idiot mod. You don't even browse /sci/, you aren't one of us and have no business here.

>>9371096
They did make a post 2 years ago saying not to ask for college or career advice. But to get around that all you have to do is ask "is X a brainlet/meme degree?" (spoiler: unless it's pure math or physics, yes, according to /sci/).

They did ban me once for making a thread whose OP was something like:
"What is the minimum IQ for posting IQ threads?" Although I cannot for the life of me tell how they distinguished my shitpost from the quality "what's the minimum IQ to shit my diaper?" threads that we get 3 times a day and are up for a month at a time.

>>9371135
This board is abysmal and has been so since I've started browsing (2012). More moderation would at least be trying something different.

>>9371147
no don't suggest more moderation. the mods are more retarded than the worst shitposters

>>9371150
It's not like they're going to read this, they're just going to delete the thread and give OP a 24 hour ban.

>>9371141

>>9371161
It's really a simple post. I'm telling the mod to fuck off.

>>9371168
that's the cancer board. only complete retards beyond saving post there, it shouldn't exist.

>>9371096
>>I'll do absolutely no cleaning on popsci threads, or blatant stale baiting
I suspect the mods themselves constantly create bait threads just to increase traffic. How many evolution, flat-earth, 'scientifically...' , 'prove me wrong', etc template threads does it take to realize that one or two people are doing it?

You don't seem to read well enough to realize the sticky is useful for keeping irrelevant college advice off this board

>OPs post is allowed
>applications threads aren’t
If they don’t delete this thread that would be like adding insult to injury

>>9371135
>Low moderation
I see you have low intelligence. OP is not saying he wants more moderation. OP is saying he wants mods to stop deleting good threads while leaving alive bad threads.

In general, every thread about help with getting to grad school in math (which is a really niche topic, only like 5 people ever come to post) gets deleted after like 10 minutes. Even when there was worthwhile and meaningful conversation going on.

And every time this happens I get really pissed off and go back to the catalog and what do I see?

You don't seem to be around enough to realize that the stick is shit and no one even looks at it. Fuck off. No one wants you here. Go moderate plebbit instead.

>>9371338
Reading my own post. I would not be surprised if someone hacked their way into making all of these threads right now and all those threads reached bump limit.

I really wish /sci/ mods were actual /sci/ users, but every time I volunteer I never get an e-mail. Fucking sucks. Literally the same people who monitor /b/ monitor us.

You don't seem to be around enough to realize that irrelevant college advice threads are shit and no one even looks at them. Fuck off. No one wants you here. Go ask for advice on plebbit instead.

>>9371340

Perhaps you wouldn't be so surprised about your off-topic application thread getting deleted if you had looked at the sticky first.

If you want a board to post any random garbage you want, there's always /b/. People don't post about college applications on /mu/ or /tv/ either for a reason

>>9371362
I want to discuss something important to the community here, with the community here. Fuck off, it's none of your business.

Why is there a faggot in here complaining about academic advice threads which usually attract intelligent people and discussion to them when garbage like this >>9370970 and >>9370580 is still up?

>>9371372
>I want to discuss something important to the community here, with the community here. Fuck off, it's none of your business.
Your college application will never be important to "the community" here. And you're right, your application is none of my business which is why I don't want to see it.

Did you even bother to report those threads? They're as irrelevant as academic advice threads.

Yep, just like on /lit/, /his/, /int/, /news/...

I reported the first one as soon as it popped up and it's still there. Luckily no one has bumped it. Also is this >>9371376 faggot awake day and night or something? At this point it seems like a bot.

>>9371374
No one gives a fuck about what you want to see or not. The community here are the finishing undergrad / beginning grad students in math and science. They give life to this board through all the cancer, and they are all interested in such a discussion.

>>9371387

Obviously no janitor or mod is around or they just haven't been reported enough, otherwise both this off-topic thread and that off-topic thread would both have been removed

>>9371388
Why do you claim to speak for "the community"?

>>9371388
>No one gives a fuck about what you want to see or not.
Actually no one gives a fuck about your college application, which is why the sticky clearly says to post on /adv/ instead

>>9371391
If you didn't read either thread, why are you posting here? If you did, and you don't realize the quality of the posters in them, why aren't you on reddit instead?

But you don't speak for "the community", only your self.

In fact, most of "the community" that showed up in this thread seem to be against the off-topic application threads that are already disallowed.

>>9371408

At least you didn't imply "the community" thinks I'm a "blind ass motherfucker" this time, good work.

You are out of the game, that's what you wanted.
I'll spend some of my energy to tell you a few things.
First, you are one adorable monkey to my eyes, a really stupid one, since what you just said is wrong, since you can talk about math using words, one plus one is two, and you can understand nature without understanding math, you drop an apple, it falls and so on :)
a small tiny lecture to you, understand it.

And since you are not in, you don't want to know how to.. for example know how to calculate how to get your dream job? Like I have.. or.. How to be the perfect father?
Those are all states of everything in existence, plausible ones.


And yes, I am aware this is waste of time, like trying to teach algebra to a dog, but to others here who don't get this, be humble, don't attack me, but the theories, we will never be finished, but we can use these for literally anything..

be smart, for once in your life at least.

The "newfag test" is reading stickies before posting so you don't get your off-topic thread deleted.

"-fag" is a generic, general-purpose suffix, standing in for "person," attached to many words on the chans. It can be used in an endearing or antagonistic way, and does not connote homophobia.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Homophobic_slurs
>Pascoe's work suggests that boys in high school use the fag epithet as a way to assert their own masculinity, by claiming that another boy is less masculine; this, in their eyes, makes him a fag, and its usage suggests that it is less about sexual orientation and more about gender. One-third of the boys in Pascoe's study claimed that they would not call a homosexual peer a fag; fag is used in this setting as a form of gender policing, in which boys ridicule others who fail at masculinity, heterosexual prowess, or strength. Because boys do not want to be labeled a fag, they hurl the insult at another person. The fag identity does not constitute a static identity attached to the boy receiving the insult. Rather, fag is a fluid identity that boys strive to avoid, often by naming another as the fag. As Pascoe asserts, "[the fag identity] is fluid enough that boys police their behaviors out of fear of having the fag identity permanently adhere and definitive enough so that boys recognize a fag behavior and strive to avoid it".
wow, it's almost like words don't have a static meaning that doesn't change depending on the context.

It doesn't work anymore in the age of social media. Back then users basically moderated the board by themselves because they outnumbered the newcomers. But now there are so many new users every day that it's just not possible anymore.

This. I'm about to swear off /sci. I've wasted too much time wading through inane threads to find the few that are interesting. /sci wasn't always like this.

There was a subtle one not too long ago disguised as an elementary school word problem about an oven baking 5 million loaves of bread in 5 years. /pol/niggers think they're really clever.

Sad fact of the matter is that the board is collectively too stupid to have good threads about science and math so people post vaguely related shit that everyone can relate to.

Just rename the board "STEM University/Homework" so we can end this retarded facade.
