What the fuck is wrong with this board? Why is the moderation so horrible? Why is it that threads completely devoted to shitposting and autism are rampant, when an earlier thread about internship opportunities and summer national lab experience gets deleted? It's almost as if this board is actually dedicated to pseudoscience and autistic ramblings, not science and math. Either change the name of the board or change the way it's moderated because in its current state, /sci/ is a disgusting cesspool of shitposting and autistic ignorance.

It's just the fact that actual informative and useful threads are deleted instead of "what's your favorite interpretation of QM" or "le godking shane" threads.

/sci/ needs less moderation because starting with psuedoscience and cutting away the misconceptions until what remains is truth or nothing, that is what science is all about. I don't mind seeing psuedoscience threads, whether they're real, whether they're troll attempts, it doesn't matter. Finding the cracks in a false premise and putting them into such sharp relief that they can't reasonably be ignored, that's satisfying. Whether the other person is able to be reasonable at that point is out of my control.
I think what drives some people (perhaps you?) nuts is that they think they have to change the other person's mind, to make them see what is true. That's futile. Some people just *want* to believe in chemtrails, and there's no getting through to them. Expose the flaws, walk away, stay sane.

the problem is that most of /sci/ knows jack shit, and are exceptionally gullible to trolls, so there is almost no gain of any knowledge, and a large spread of misinformation, that just continually perpetuates itself as the people that were trolled by it spread it as fact, since they believe it. examples:
good thread: >>7118707
bad thread: >>7115966
>>7120935
assuming this isn't b8, interpretations of QM is bullshit pseudoscience that spergs like to talk about and nothing more. recurring threads about conscious observers collapsing wave functions is retarded and unnecessary and have nothing to do with science or math in the first place

Go to that thread. It is utter shit. The first question is garbage, others can be googled easily. The rest of that thread is shitposting about the fact that the first question sucks.The problem with those threads is that OP has to be in the thread. This board is not fast enough for that. How is a conversation about what degree is better bad? Every college student faces this problem.

>lead has a very low absorption cross section unlike the water, and momentum is most efficiently transfered between similar masses, so the water is much more effective at slowing down neutrons than lead. so essentially adding a half inch lead shield is like moving the detector a half inch closer to the source, or removing a half inch of moderator.

That's half the reason why the moderation is shit if you think about it. Mods have to cover every board and they just go through and ban the blatant rule violations, so the slightly passable shit gets flown under the radar.

Janitors can't do shit other than flag posts to mods iirc.

So, you hang out here, complaining about the situation, but are too busy to help fix it?

You are just too important and intelligent, your contribution to intelligent discourse too valuable to take on a responsibly that would require you to limit your partiality? You are just too smart to do the job?

I should have guessed from your perspicacity and erudite vocabulary.
My bad, dog.

>>7121443
You are responding to someone who couldn't even be bothered to respond to what the OP actually said.
Someone who is defending the decrepit state of the board as proper and can't green text appropriately -you expect this person to respond to an appeal to reason and rationality? To understand your desire for threads to be something other than adolescent shitposting, and sympathize?
And moot's not here, man.
mootkins is gone.

>> No.7121496

Just admit that half the people who can be bothered to be to help out have an addenda and the few who give a shit are overwhelmed.

It is a fucking volunteer position.
If you aren't willing to pull your weight, expect people who are actually advertising something ( >>7121065) or are drunk and looking for >>/b/ to rise to authority.

You don't care, who does?
No, moron, I'm actually asking you; it's literally rhetorical, not an empty question: think about it.

I read that pic a bit differently:
Mods have global responsibility/ability to act but in fact have agreed among themselves to divide up territory based on interest.
