Hey guys,

Went away for a while. Does /sci/ still suck?

>> No.1615541

>Does /sci/ still suck?
Whether it sucks or not is an opinion. It is still summer and there are still troll threads about pseudoscience or religion.

>> No.1615545

It's been good for a while now, actually.

>> No.1615539

Still 2 religion threads on front page at all times.

And aether is still here.

>> No.1615547

Yes. You may resume your inactivity.

>> No.1615550

aether has been pretty active on /sci/ lately.

A namefag/tripfag who spams /sci/ with pseudoscience. Types like an underaged an he fails at trolling.

No, you're fine for you contribute positively and beneficially.

I tripfag so I can actually have a proper conversation, discussion, or argument on here. Much easier if you dont have 3 other people with the name "Anonymous" pretending to be you

and actually I haven't seen Aether for the past two days. Maybe he got bored of trolling /sci/, and went to go troll /fit/ or something?

The worst part about aether is that he also comes on at night. I see him on /b/ every now and then.

>> No.1615604

sucks

>> No.1615615

The two biggest reasons I have to dislike tripfags are this:
1. A good part of the people who decide to tripfag are of the sort that are prone to attention whoring. Not all, but a lot.
2. Tripfags feel that they have to maintain an image. If an anon is losing an argument, they can just walk away. Tripfags will often continue arguing, even if they're wrong, in an attempt to save face.

There are appropriate times to adopt a temporary trip, but most people use them because they want to be known. I just feel that kind of shit belongs on forums, not imageboards.

Namefagging is fine in my opinion, because to me it indicates that they are comfortable being vulnerable to impersonation and not taking shit too seriously.

Semi-Guilty of #2. That being said, I'd never back down from an argument, whether I was a trip/namefag or not, untill I was either proven wrong, or they were proven wrong, untill the thread 404s, or untill we both come to an agreement that it's going nowhere and we should both just stop wasting effort.

You have inspired me to start tripcoding. Obviously I will be shitstormed and be accused of whoring, but I don't mind.

/sci/ being shitty may be an opinion, but /sci/ having all sorts of anti-factual pseudo-information unrelated to science is a fact.

>> No.1615678

>>1615585

He's still here, asleep now, supposedly. I tried fucking with him in a thread just a couple of hours ago.

And to answer OP's question, yes. We need mods. Badly.

>> No.1615698

>>1615678
Agreed. Has anyone here written to Moot about getting mods on /sci/?

>> No.1615717

>>1615555
aether gave his tripcode to anonymous, and multiple anons have therefore taken over his name

>>1615569
attention-whoring and at the same time being clueless of how much nobody cares about them. also, sparkles = free energy

>>1615585
bullshit. I trip'd once for a couple months, and it didn't really do shit as far as make threads more readable.

>>1615615
anons attempt to save face too. and often tripfags will walk away to "save face" (not be known for fruitless arguments with retards)

>>1615678
you mean janitors. and not really. retard and troll threads dont stop legit threads, and at the same time satisfy the retards and trolls, hence net gain.
