These would be my ideas for improving 4chan moderation:

1. Create new reporting category for NSFW images on SFW boards.
2. Create new class of subjanitors with the power to delete NSFW/illegal images and to set/unset off-topic threads to permasage. Recruit lots of them.
3. Extend the flood limitation so that after starting a thread you have to wait to start a second thread on another board; this will greatly reduce spamming.
4. Allow janitors to give out 3-day bans for IPs who make 3 or more spam threads within 30 minutes.

The easiest way to handle spam is by not replying and letting it die.
It's the users who fuck this board up by replying to the most obvious shitposts, even when reposted for the hundredth time.

>> No.3871353

>>3871350
And how exactly do you propose to coerce the users to change their behavior en masse?

At least setting the threads to permasage would get them off the front page.

>> No.3871364

>>3871353
Permasage is a good idea, but it is currently executed wrong.
Although the mod fighted anti-bio threads once this way, I've also seen him abusing his power to autosage legit threads that he personally disliked.
A better concept could be some democratic report system. If a thread gets a certain number of reports from different IPs, it gets autosaged.

Examples of the kinds of threads you're speaking of?

People also report threads they personally don't like. (See for example the threads people report with 4watch.) I don't think enough people report threads to distinguish these from legitimate reports.

>> No.3871386

>>3871379
>Examples of the kinds of threads you're speaking of?
There were more, but I only remember two: an interesting psychology/psychiatry thread dealing with mental disorders and a biochemistry thread (don't know anymore what exactly was discussed there).

>People also report threads they personally don't like.
That's why the system would need a minimum number of reports for setting autosage. This way a samefag would have to change his IP for example 20 times before having success.

>> No.3871387

>>3871364
In order to vote to autosage thread on /sci/ - Science & Math, though, you have to solve a Science & Math problem.

Watch all the racism threads vanish.

>> No.3871398

>you have to solve a Science & Math problem

Nope. We want to stay open to people who are less educated but willing to learn.
Racism would vanish anyways in proposed system.

That sounds strange. Can you find them on http://archive.installgentoo.net/ ? Surely there was some reason for it.

>>3871386
>This way a samefag would have to change his IP for example 20 times before having success.
I don't think any threads would ever be autosaged if you required reports from 20 different IPs. Most people don't report at all, and the captcha makes it even more not worth their trouble. On a slow board like /sci/, you might be lucky if one person reports a thread.

OTOH, perhaps more people would report posts if it did something.

That said, finding 20 proxies through which to report a post is not all that difficult.

>> No.3871420

>>3871403
Sorry, I'm not gonna go through the whole archive now.
For sure the mod had his reasons, whether they are justified or not in the users' opinion. But please don't let this thread derail into critcism for the mod.

>>3871419
>you might be lucky if one person reports a thread.
I usually report threads that are obviously against the rules. Unfortunately without any effect yet.

>more people would report posts if it did something
I'm pretty sure that would work. There are more posters on here than you might think and in addition we have lots of lurkers who don't post at all.

>finding 20 proxies
I for myself don't even know one proxy that isn't banned on 4chan.
