/sci/ - Science & Math

[Anonymous No.1138867]

I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT BOARD!!!
When moot first created the /sci/ board every homework/troll thread was welcomed with extreme harshness and plenty of sage but it seems that the overflowing population of under-aged posters(summer) is turning this board into shit.
Troll threads get 50+ replies while real science threads 404 in a couple of minutes.
Tomorrow I'm gonna create an image that explains how to fucking behave on this board and I am gonna post it at least 20 times a day till the situation improves.
Feel free to suggest things that I should add apart from how to distinguish troll threads from genuine ones and how not to act like a retard.
Matrix always related...

It was never like this. Before this bored was made a little while ago, I spent all my time on 7chan's /sci/, but NO ONE FUCKING GOES THERE. I'd rather have an active board that sucks with some glimmers of hope than a few decent threads that stay up for weeks before anyone replies.

Ignoring the faggots shouting about how bad this thread is, here are some suggestions (assuming that you are serious).
1. If your making a post about fucking magnets, GTFO.
2. If you are making a thread involving something reaching the speed of light, GTFO.
3. If you are making a thread beginning with a large equation, GTFO.
4. If you are making a tier thread, GTFO.
5. If you are making a religion vs. science thread, GTFO.
6. If you are making a thread that fits into the form of "ask a ____ anything", GTFO.
etc.

And frankly the /x/ shit is worse because they're not even trolling so much as willfully ignorant.

Don't insult someone without a good reason. Even better, never insult someone. Show him why he is wrong,correct him and you should stop right there.Act like a responsible adult.
You can be offensive towards someone if he is: -trolling *the approach here is to ignore him. Pointing out that he's a troll is a good way to prevent other posters from falling into his trap.
-breaking the site/board's rules
-using text emoticons/reaction images
-posting off-topic content/retarded comment (see trolling)
-starting his comment with >implying (don't even bother reading that)

Anything else to add??

the more i know the less i want to discover about the world. i mean there are no fucking wonders, everything is boring as shit, no supertechnology, no fucking aliens with megastructurs floating around in space.

Without those troll threads at the top of your list, /sci/ will be nothing but homework threads and "favorite molecule!!!1" threads. Fuck that shit, at least the religion garbage is fun when it turns into atheist v. agnostic shitstorm.

Oh, what else will be dominating our "sci of tomorrow." More fucking Sagan/Tesla/Tyson/random threads. More flourine copypasta.

Improving sci? fuck no, you won't be.

And that's why these are troll threads. Trying to troll people into making sci as shitty as a million other no-bullshit forums that we could be at, but aren't.

[Anonymous No.1139315]

If someone already answered a question don't bother posting unless you have a different opinion and you can reason your thinking.

You should also think about the value of this board. It's supposed to be a place of education and learning:
-People posting homework threads will get links to learning resources so they could figure out 'basic' stuff on their own.
-People questioning really hard stuff will get fruitful conversations going.
-Nobody cares about your religion. You can believe anything you want as long as you do some science.
-Threads about famous physicists will contain information related to their work.. .
-Fun will still be there, but at least you won't wasting your time for nothing..

Hey dumbass.
Now that we're in summer, we'll have much fewer idiots asking for homework help. These people will be weeded out, and instead we'll get curious young minds that you can help to educate.

[Anonymous No.1139578]

>>1139328
I am saying exactly what I mean and not implying anything. You should stop writing like that.
>>1139485
You mean curious young minds who don't know basic trigonometry right?
Also it's not our job (as an image board) to educate them, that's for what teachers are for.
If they are really passionate about science they should struggle a little bit and learn for themselves.
We just cannot afford to explain to a 14 year old(or 20+ retarded troll) why holding a magnet in front of your car wouldn't accelerate it indefinitely.

[Anonymous No.1139620]

>>1139578
I never said it was your job. As a man of science it should be your fucking pleasure.

And why force them to struggle with things when you (or people around here who aren't douchebags) could easily explain things to them? You don't get to decide what is and isn't allowed on this board. This is Science & Math. If it's Science or Math, it's supposed to be on this fucking board. If it's genuine curiosity and not homework, it is allowed on this board. You not being able to differentiate between a troll and someone who is curious is no reason for you to go around spouting this bullshit.

[Anonymous No.1139693]

>>1139620
I agree with you that we should guide young minds and promote curiosity. That is why you should be polite to everyone and offer links to other sites to those whose knowledge is very limited about a certain subject.
But great minds should be focused on solving greater problems. We should offer a bit of guiding to those who know very little but in the end we should think about the important stuff.
It would be a big waste if a brilliant mind (any famous physicist) would spent most of his time teaching Newton's laws to young children.

No, that's what instructors are for. We have an entire industry based around that. You may have heard of these "school" things.

A major part of science is publishing, so that you get funding. As a happy side-effect this also spreads knowledge.

Well, to people who aren't too lazy to read the publications anyway.

[Anonymous No.1139721]

>>1139693
So this is basically just because you think you are too far above them to be teaching them rudimentary science.

Wouldn't you also say that it is a waste for a great mind such as yours to be wasted on this community of plebeians? Or creating an image telling them how to behave and posting it here regularly? Do you realize the irony in this? You're saying it's a waste of time for a great mind to spend maybe ten minutes at the ABSOLUTE MOST explaining something to somebody, yet you're going through all this trouble because you can't tell a troll from an idiot.

I'm doing this so that hundreds of people would find good information and smart people when they come here. So that those individuals don't have to spend 10 minutes each to explain to someone something that they could have learned by reading a wiki article or paying attention in class.
And no, I don't consider myself smart or above the others. There are very bright people in this world but their ideas only reach a few of us just because they don't have a good medium to send their information.
Do you know how even the tiniest action might have worldwide effects(butterfly effect)? I hope that by improving an anonymous board on the internet people will change and our future will be more bright. There's a very big chance that someone very smart comes to this place and leaves right away because it's a big shithole. If that person passed his knowledge to 10 people who would see his thread and those 10 people passed on the knowledge even further our whole world could be influenced.

if upon posting a troll thread, the OP doesn't get a reply it will disappoint him.
There's a big chance that he will 'samefag' a few times but if he still doesn't get any reply he will just leave this board and never come back.
Let's say that an ignorant person replies to the troll... it would be ideal that someone sages the thread (not to bump it) and points out that OP is trolling and why people shouldn't bother replying.
OP would give up and move to another board...
And that's how we could have more relevant content and less garbage...
