This board could easily be improved but it would take some mods/janitors.

1) delete troll threads on sight
2) ban trolls
3) warn users that this isn't /b/ and if they want to be mindless dicks then they should keep it there
4) don't go overboard with 3... sometimes being a dick is justifiable

If you look through it, there's a lot of good stuff on this board with some competent and helpful posters. Unfortunately they're buried beneath mounds of shit, most of which spills over from /b/.

>> No.3873071

We need /phi/ - Philosophy and Science; and /pol/ - Politics and Religion

At the least we need a religion board. Yes, it will be fucking infested with trolls trolling trolls, but at least it will keep that shit out of other boards, AND, give people who actually want to talk about somewhere to try to that is less busy than /b/.

You need to appreciate the value of a sewage board.

You won't get rid of certain kinds of less fun trolls, but you can at least filter them out. I think /r9k/ was excellent at this.

>> No.3873123

I think the problem with /sci/ isn't the trolls, but all of the aspie uni physics students who learn something and then proceed to hate everyone else for not studying how little balls of stuff move around in relation to other litle balls of stuff.

>> No.3873129

Why would moot delete it?

I mean, it's bringing in traffic and gives people a place to discuss science. People also enjoy their time here.

What about the board makes moot think "OH SHIT I HAVE TO DELETE THIS CRAP INSTEAD OF JUST LEAVING IT ALONE"

This is one of the boards I most frequent on this site, and I enjoy the content on here a lot. I always find links to interesting lectures and articles, sometimes people actually answer questions I have, and even though its sometimes snuffed out by no-fun bots there is a degree of humor here that you can't find on other boards. That being said, this board is a gold nugget under a massive pile of dog shit. This is the collective dumping ground of the remaining derelicts that used to frequent /new/ and /b/tards venturing out for their first trolls. That aside, its full of legitimate posters who are just genuinely douchebags. And fucking homework threads, jesus fucking christ. To be honest though, I'd rather see teenagers discussing math than trolls discussing god. This board might have to be axed, but I think that its best cleaved in twain. You hear me moot? You need at least science board on this website (I know about /g/, its not the same). If you could save this board and make a /phi/ board, I think we'd be alright.

who cares? this board is full of science hating liberals who only claim to "believe in scienzz hurr" because they think it puts them in opposition to mommy and daddys religion.

if he removes it, it will just be resurrected on the other site and it will be 10 times better because there wont be agenda pushing mods there. i say DO IT

That's because the janitors are busy dealing with reports from all the other boards. But they do eventually get around to /sci/. So while reports aren't likely to kill a thread in a timely fashion, they do often result in bans being handed out. You just don't get to see that part.

Hey moot, you fucking idiot, I'm still here, still willing to MODERATE this shit hole.

Right, and a bit ago, there was an invite. Fill out some application, explain why you're so cool, etc.

I think /sci/ got one mod, who apparently doesn't give a shit about this board.

>> No.3873384

What I'd like to see from the mods is for them to stop overusing the "delete all posts by this IP" button when they ban someone. It's annoying as fuck to have half of a good thread suddenly disappear because one of the posters (or someone with their IP address) got bored with legitimate discussion and posted a "niggers have low IQ" troll. They ought to at least look at the posts they're deleting.

Does someone wanna like set up an online petition that we can send to moot after we get x number of people?

>> No.3873388

It's not like there's any real intelligent discussions on this board.

Just a bunch of college faggots who think they're better than the rest of the population discussing things that don't even make sense.

If there was discussions and photography about lightweight electric powered space craft that could defy conventional physics then it might be worth keeping around.

But no just a bunch of stuck up fucking hipsters.

It's not even that hard to understand how wrong current and basic scientific theories really are.

This board is pretty pathetic axe it. Actually there is really no need for college anymore if you're in the know.
