/sci/ - Science & Math

>>4508756
I didn't say they are reportable. But they are off-topic spam. And stop using the shitposters' fallacy. Just because /sci/ is full of spam, no one has the right to post more spam.

>>4508737
Documentaries are pop sci and not real science. They belong to /tv/. /sci/ is for the discussion of scientific and mathematical theories.

Not science or math. Neither documentaries nor circle-jerks belong here. Stop off-topic posting.

Don't bump a thread that violates the rules. Use sage.

>>4472279
Please refrain from shitposting.

>>4472258
Doesn't change the fact that it doesn't belong here.

No homework threads on /sci/.

Posting homework on /sci/ is a rule violation.

>>4472221
All you need is multiplication and addition. If this is too hard for you, you're wrong in university.

>>4472194
Yes, it is off-topic. You do neither ask nor explain scientific mechanisms, your question is about costs. That's not science and can be asked on any dedicated forums out there.

No homework threads on /sci/. If you can't handle elementary school math, it's time for you to drop out.

Do you not want /sci/ to become a better place? Is your intention to further reduce /sci/'s quality? Well then you are a shitposter and should better spend your time somewhere else.

4chan has 15 global rules and /sci/ 3 local rules. There is no rule 19.

>>4451339
Oh wow, you're such a cool troll, dude. /irony

Threads have bump limit. My deleted posts were saged and did not contribute. Their deletion does not affect the thread. I did not make this thread popular. There are a few shitposters who think it's funny to bumpt it. These can't be taken serious as they intend to shit up /sci/. Probably they are the same guys who post religion threads. And then there are some posters who want to discuss the issue I brought up. Those should use sage.

>>4451324
I regularly contribute to actual science threads. I do so anonymously, like it should be. The tripcode is only for calling out shitposters in off-topic threads.

*you're

There's a difference between new people making a board "fresher" and people shitting up a board that used to be better.
I am not a minority regarding the fact of being annoyed by off-topic spam. Most serious posters who come here for science and math feel the same way. Maybe I get so few support ITT, because people already know me for being able to be good at handling discussions with shitposters.

>>4451297
So that "trolls" who only want to bump the thread for the purpose of annoyance can't reference them.

>>4451284
Why would you waste your time with such a pointless activity? You are not "trolling" anyone but yourself.

>>4451257
There are other boards that manage to have mainly on-topic threads. Since /sci/ claims to be the smartest board of 4chan, I don't see a reason why its users shouldn't be able to improve the board's quality.

>>4451261
I did not bump the thread. I put sage in my email field every time.

>>4451229
It is important to raise awareness of the issue. Only this way OP and potential other off-topic posters can know that this kind of posts is wrong. If I left, this thread would have got a lot of replies from underage sci fi kids and it would have given them the false impression that what they do is welcome here.
I did however not bump the thread. By saging I don't slow down its 404. Only when addressed and asked questions, I do of course respond.

>>4451202
This is like saying a ">tfwngf" thread or a religion thread is scientific because it could be derailed by science posts.
The original post was unscientific and off-topic. That makes the thread bad. If you want to discuss a specific science topic, make a thread about it. If you don't know any specific topic but have a general idea of what you want to learn, you can still start a thread asking for more information on scientific theories in said field. But making a thread purely about fantasy, speculation, fiction and opinions and then expecting it to become scientific is seriously stupid and harms the board.
From the last sentence of your post I can see that you resort to "trolling" now. I hope for you to give up this attitude.

>>4451171
I can confirm that I am genuinly not trolling. Your thread is not scientific and an invitation for underage sci fi kids to post irrelevant garbage. This is not what science is about. /sci/ should be more academic. Your scenario is not of scientific nature. It asks for personal opinions and uneducated speculations without scientific basis. A thread on /sci/ should discuss scientific or mathematical theories/problems/concepts etc.

*your

I am a poster that comes here for science and math. This is what /sci/ is dedicated to. The huge number of off-topic threads annoys me.

>>4451154
Well, I'm gonna delete my posts.

>>4451137
Obviously he got banned for violating the rules.

>>4451138
1. OP did not post any hypothesis.
2. Science is way more than just brainstorming. Please educate yourself regarding the scientific method.

>>4451129
I am none of these. I am a normal poster. If I had any powers, I would have improved /sci/'s quality by now and threads like this one would not exist.
