/baw/ - General Discussion

Gee Billy, two pinned threads?

>>416121
I tried unpinning it three times before it responded. The 600 post threads are glitchy. I'll make sure to replace these more regularly.

My IP range is banned from making threads but not from posting. It's occasionally annoying.

>>416139
What an interesting observation.......... I cannot make new threads on regular 4chan while using Waterfox(Firefox), while Safari works just fine. Is this some sort of digital curse?

>>416152
Does it say an IP range block, or some other error?

I can't make 8ch threads on my PC at all due to "HTTPS referrer" errors, but my laptop works fine. Same with some other chans.

>>416153
It says nothing at all: either loads forever and gives me a "bad redirect" error, or just redirects to the board's homepage. And Safari on the same laptop has none of those issues. Had this problem for half a year now. Can make regular replies on either browser.

Someone made a thread I don't like D:

so I will ignore it like a functional human being. Is it really that hard for people to ignore things? I really don't like that thread though

My weird troubles with Waterfox(Firefox) not allowing me to make new threads on 4chan Prime........ are over. I guess one of the recent updates did it.

All the games are during my exam period. I hope we qualify for the 2018 Winter Cup so I can watch it.

Apparently not.

/co/ has a fun thread, and of course it gets deleted.

>>416958
It got deleted because of past issues with Legion Of Doom thread makers turning it into a 24/7 general

>>416960
Every fucking thread on /co/ is a 24/7 general...

>>416961
Don't exaggerate just so you could hate something more.

A janitor or mod is very mad at the Gumball fandom now, deleting threads and even going across to /trash/ to ban people over in that thread.
It's not even saturday yet.

>>416982
How sad.
It saddens me that the gumball fandom in 4chan will rather move to reddit or let themselves die than coming here or any other chan.
It' s so strange, 4chan is bigger than ever but all other chans seem to be withering away.

>>416983
I mean, I'm happy to suggest coming across here. Especially if deletions persist. That was one of the main uses of +4, as a refuge for prohibited generals.

>>416983
Maybe they are not coming here because they don't know this place exists? Have anyone told them that they can come here?

>It' s so strange, 4chan is bigger than ever but all other chans seem to be withering away.
It used to be that other chans complimented 4chan with boards that it didn't have. Today, 4chan covers nearly every topic, so there's no need for other chans. And 8chan made it worse by allowing everyone to make their own board, so they have a shitload of boards with hardly any posters on each.

It also doesn't help that 4chan considers every mention of another community as spam. Name drop any site and it gets flagged. Mention an alias for a site (like, say, fullchan), it gets flagged. At that point, it is more important to keep people inside.

>>416985
>Maybe they are not coming here because they don't know this place exists? Have anyone told them that they can come here?
I just posted and immediately got the respose "Plus4 is dead as fuck". Apart from loli/shota, they're right.
Mostly, I think people don't know, and the rest of the time they know and remember how dead we are.

>>416985
Yes, 4chan has a lot of boards but that doesn't mean that the site is good, and these threads getting deleted is a proof of that. what other sites do offer is a different feeling, community and moderation.
Maybe because I've been here for so long shuffling different chans seems so normal to me.
>>416986
It's dead because they're not coming here, if their threads moved over here plus4 surely will get a boost in users.

>>416987
>It's dead because they're not coming here
That's what I said, but then they said the functionality of the site is suspect (I can't deny that) which, right now, is still an issue.

>>416988
I can agree with that, it'll be better if we moved to some other chan software that isn't so different

>>416990
It's getting difficult to bring people here, since almost everything except /co/ and /coc/ have a better alternative.

>>417397
Dynamic IPs are dope. Turn cookies off on 4chan, and you are damn near unbannable on 4chan.

>>417402
Sticky IP here (technically dynamic but rarely changes). I have one backup IP but it's a hassle to use.
I admit to using the old "dynamic IP" excuse to evade a long ban.

Did archive-anon ever finish crawling plus4chan?

I have a december full backup, in case we'll need it.

>>417449
Out of curiosity:
- do you mean current state at December, or everything until December?
- full images included?
- is there any backup of the previous plus4chan sites?

>>417450
The current board system doesn't actually purge old threads due to a bug, so everything that was posted on this board. Including some threads which, for some reason, are not in the db but their static htmls still exist. Images included. In fact I think it has a lot of deleted images there too, based on the file count.

Moose said that he may have an archive of the old site. I don't know anything further than that.

>>417450
>>417451
Most of the old site is up on the Wayback Machine, if anyone cares.

>>417452
Yeah, around 2013 era has good backup. I was just curious if there was much chance of filling the bits that are missing.

Latest stupidity from /co/: drawthreads don't allow anchor posts (where artists can link deliveries, so it is possible to keep track of them easier). No explanation give, just janitors deleting every related discussion.

>>418899
Well, we all know what those who know of Slylock want to fuck animals, and that is degenerate.

Damn I got banned from all of 4chan for making a joke about the name of Lovecraft's cats on /tg/, of which as you might already know one having went by the charming name of Nigger-man.

>>419052
Moderation was always crazy on 4chan but nowadays it's just a bunch of assholes on a power trip.

I've been banned so many times now that I just permanently block all cookies from the site (4chan puts a user id in your cookies to track you in case you change IPs).

>>419052
Maybe the mods had a thing against you? If they hate you for something you posted 6 months ago, they can have their "revenge".

>>419099
okay what did I miss now.

>>419100
They don't have a "thing" against me - half the decent topic I've seen gets deleted nowadays.

There's also a janitor in the win-o threads on /co/ who posts his own referral links to everything (which is against the rules), but since he is a janitor, he can clear any reports his own posts get, as well as delete any posts which point this out.
4chan is run entirely by the janitors now.

>>419101
>now
A few years at least?

>>419099
Shit, we just asked for /film/ and /aco/, that's all......

>>419102
More like the best part of the decade. Ever since moot kicked the veteran mods over the gamergate drama.

/tg/ is complete fucking trash.

I miss the days when it was one of the higher quality boards which actually created content.

>>419708
Every damn board has been like that since 2012.

4chan proper is infected by the Green. People should avoid it and post here where its safe and there is large amounts of social distance.

>>419975
I hope they did a 1 day quarantine ban for everyone affected.

Is that digital magic?

4chan now uses hCaptcha instead of reCaptcha on the reports page.

Somehow it is WORSE.
And they restored the old ones now.

>>420400

I've only used it a could of times (when Cloudflare switched) and had no problem at the time. Have the challenges become harder?
Bias: fuck google

So what is the deal with the new black text ads at the top and bottom of 4chan boards now? Why don't ad blockers hide them?

>>420668
I am using Pale Moon with eMatrix fork and uBlock Origin both running, and I have no issues.

>>420668
>>420669
yeah, I'm not seeing any extra ads either. However 4chan has been essentially impossible to use without adblock ever since Hiro took over - the ads are more disgusting than what people are posting.

>>420765
Casual racism has always been a part of imageboard culture. And, if I'm being honest, all human cultures. People shit on the other tribe next to them all the time.

>>420766
Back in 07 everyone on 4chan called each other nigger and faggot, it was so common that it carried zero insults anymore.

>>420766
>>420767
Let's not pretend that racism hasn't been against the rules since at least late 07 and only lax moderation allowed it to happen on boards other than /b/.

New Board
https://boards.4channel.org/vrpg/

>>420770
Seems unnecessary

>>420771
Not really. /v/ is one of the biggest boards on 4chan; this makes it extremely fast and very hard to moderate. Cutting it up is therefore necessary for keeping the site more advertiser-friendly. It's also why /b/ had so many boards made specifically to cut off content from it.

>>420772
But its not like much slower boards have good moderation

>>420774
The slow boards are OVER moderated. The larger boards can get away with shit that would get moderated instantly on the slower boards, simply due to their size.

At any rate, an RPG board isn't what /v/ would have needed, it would've been either a board for streamers / youtube celebrity bullshit (someone brought up /incel/ for INternet CELebrity, which I think is ingenious), or a /v2k/ board for 6th and 7th console generation stuff, to parallel /vr/.

/tg/ is a pretty slow board and its absolute fucking garbage nowadays with endless spam and shitposts.

>>420777
/co/ and /g/ are full of garbage too, all I ever see are the same usual 10 general threads, plus a lot of smaller ones that disappear without many posts or get outright deleted.

Okay this is just getting ridiculous now
https://boards.4channel.org/vmg/

>>420814
goddamnit.

>>420814
Mobile games are cancer.

>>420814
This isn't entirely bad though. Mobile games are shit and no one really wants to discuss them, so at least they'll be kept off of /v/.

It does open a dangerous precedent though. At this rate they could make a PC gaming only or a Nintendo-only board.

>>420780
/co/ really is one of the worst now.
Its just 24/7 spam of the same crop of low quality threads again and again.
Who sits around making the things just to shit the board up?

>>420849
Yeah. /vr/ and /toy/ has constant threads which are ALWAYS there whenever I visit as well. That's one of the reasons why I don't visit daily anymore, just once a week, maybe a month now.
It also doesn't help that a TON of posts get deleted, and it usually takes 5-15 minutes to get banned over the most minute shit. The kind of posts that dominated the boards ten years ago will get deleted or get you banned.

As far as I'm concerned, /s4s/ is the last good board there.

>>420849
Someone who wants to die at least knowing he destroyed a board. A real achievement.

https://boards.4channel.org/vst/

So now that's 3 /v/ runoff boards and I doubt /v/ is getting slowing and/or better because of them. I am waiting for a fighting game board next.

>>420854
ahaha holy fucking shit. Is every sub genre getting its own board? Will fighting games get one too? How about shmups or platform games?

>>420855

I just wanted a place to discuss old video games in peace. Instead, the leadership at the old site decided to ruin a board.

>>420925
>/vr/ now allows 6th gen
Wow. The current administration is taking the worst choices possible with every single change.

You may as well tell them they can come here. We even have a retro game based board skin.

4chan's /aco/ drawthreads are a lost cause. Too much toxicity and cancer.

>>420962
Last time I checked the problem was that
1 they got spammed with the same shit over and over for years
2 janitors deleted arbitrary requests they didn't like
3 janitors deleted damn near any discussions they didn't like (this is a problem globally on the entire site)
4 4chan rules don't allow for a lot of western art there to begin with

I'm assuming you mean #1 by cancer, but what do you mean by toxicity? Isn't the thread over-moderated so there's absolutely no chance of getting any "toxic" comments in?

>>420963
He's probably talking about the self appointed thread police who call out certain requesters of characters they feel that has had enough deliveries.

>>420964
That's just random noise that comes with the territory of posting on an anonymous imageboard, or is it that bad that it clogs up the thread?
And don't janitors delete those along with everything else that's even slightly off topic?

>>420964
This one tried to request a pic of Jucika getting DVP'd as an homage to Pepsitou. Sadly due to asshats running rampant and wasting posts thinking that ThEY ARe ThE LAw!

>>420966
How is that even a problem? Because the character has been requested a lot? Boy, those guys weren't around in the 00s when a new episode of Avatar meant the entire board was 95% Avatar threads for an entire day.

>>420965
The drawthread is not as heavily moderated as people here like to pretend that it is. The only reason why it might clog up the thread because the thread can hit the bump limit in like 3-5 hours just from requests alone an a long argument just makes the thread hit it faster.
>>420967
From what I saw, it is more that the "Thread Police" are accusing him of being the "Honeyspammer".

Also why are we have these arguments here? Should it be in the 4chan Waaambulance thread? Maybe that thread should be a sticky so people can know it exists.

/aco/ is cancer. /pco/ is superior.

I keep hearing a lot of complaining about the /aco/ drawthread which is probably done by the guys who get pick on in those threads. I invite you guys to spend some time in the /trash/ drawthread and realize just how shit a drawthread could be. A thread where there is no artists and near constant trolling and counter trolling by people who use different drawthreads on different boards and sites.

I wish anthro was allowed on /aco/ so I could leave that place completely but that will never happen.

>>420971
Do you have to bring it up in every thread on /baw/?

[mod edit: this and the aforementioned comment was previously posted in the Speak Your Mind thread. Recent posts from three threads have now been moved here]

Big thumbs up to the mod for moving those post here

>>420977
Indeed. I wanted to do it myself but he got to it before I was home. That's good.

We've seem to gotten a bit more activity in the last few days than we usually do, so I'm even more glad.

>>420969
>The drawthread is not as heavily moderated as people here like to pretend that it is.
Maybe not compared to its own. But compared to other threads on the site, it has significantly more activity. I've seen plenty of clearly rule breaking threads on /aco/ that went entirely unnoticed for a long time, while the drawthreads have anything bad taken care of in minutes. This is true on both /co/ and /aco/ too.

>>420981
/aco/ drawthreads have become a toxic dump inhabited by inbred sixth graders who eat their own fecal matters.

>>420982
That's a good line, I'm gonna have to write that down for later usage.

>>420981
>I've seen plenty of clearly rule breaking threads on /aco/ that went entirely unnoticed for a long time, while the drawthreads have anything bad taken care of in minutes. This is true on both /co/ and /aco/ too.
Reminds me of /co/ caturdays. There would literally be a janitor waiting there to try and delete it with a minute.

>>420982
That's what a real coomer is like. You only care about getting new porn of the special kind you prefer, and nutting to it. Nothing is more important than porn.

>>420986
To throw /co/ jannies a bone, the threads were also filled with people all too ready to just porn furry porn. Which they often did.

>>416117
another /aco/ drawthread is burning due to idiots wasting posts reenacting Among Us.

>>420988
Most of the furry porn they would post was just pinup/cheesecake shit that was no different than the pics in other threads. In the drawthread, you would get banned over any sexualized anthro pic whether it was actual porn or not. I guess they figured if we are going to catch a 3 day ban, might as well request porn.

>>420991
literally any furry character request gets removed in the /co/ drawthread, and I haven't seen a Swat Kats thread there either for a very long time, despite the show being incredibly popular.

>>420992
>literally any furry character request gets removed in the /co/ drawthread,
No they don't. It's almost always the caturday requests. Sometimes other cheesecake requests featuring anthro get removed but not all the time and not to the level of how they treat the caturday requests.

>I haven't seen a Swat Kats thread there either for a very long time
There was one just yesterday that got deleted https://boards.fireden.net/co/thread/117515573/
People dumped porn and tried to turn it into a /pol/ thread but it still stayed up for a while.

>>420993
>No they don't.

Yeah they pretty much do. Check the archives.

>>420994
They must have missed this one then
https://boards.fireden.net/co/thread/117480749/#q117482525
Or the TMNT requests with Jennika, Mona Lisa and other anthros that rarely get deleted.

The janitors and mods don't go as hard as they did a few years ago except for caturday posting.

>>420995
>The janitors and mods don't go as hard as they did a few years ago
Well I stopped checking 4chan completely a few years ago due to overmoderation, so yeah.

I still check ever once a while but it usually takes around an hour max before some post I make get deleted or the captcha becomes impossible to solve. Or to see deleted posts getting quoted, or an interesting thread getting deleted before I can read through it.

>>420999
not the first time either:
https://pastebin.com/YFZxLpQJ

>>421000
Well this is disappointing

>>420999
Why delete your post?

>>421002
that thread was on the verge of collapse

>>421003
That doesn't really matter, knowing the url you can check them in the archives. In fact, many threads are easier to read through the archives, or through an app that permanently caches incoming posts, given how many posts get deleted.

>>421004
https://boards.4chan.org/aco/thread/4469493#p4473188
470 posts. mostly comprised of textual diarrhea.

>>421005
ah, it was just abusefag spam. That happens occasionally.

>>421006
it's repelling artists from making actual requests.

>>421007
It's sad really. Nobody can get a request done.

>>421009
Yeah they suck

>>421009
lmfao, really? Just check the next thread a day later.

>>421011
it's still a shitshow

He'll just come back later. I've seen him around for years.

>>421100
You want to see a shitshow
https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/32872120

That's a shitshow

>>421118
That OP looks bueno.

why do artists even come to those threads?

>>421142
If you mean the /trash/ threads, it's because that the only board outside of /b/ that allows furry porn. If you mean /aco/ well that is the only board where you can request vanilla porn of /co/ characters since /co/ mods bans any porn request unlike /v/ or /a/.

>>421143
We need to raise awareness that /pco/ (still) exists.

>>421144
We need to raise awareness that plus4chan itself still exists.

>>421145
Okay, and how would you do that without it coming off as something like the nonstop 8chan spam?

>>421146
those idiots inhabiting the dumpster fire won't believe you.
They'll suck you into the black hole and force you to play their version of Among Us.

>>421146
Well don't spam and casually bring it up in various conversations where there are artists.

>>416117
I'm this close to disassociating from /aco/. assholes insulting actual autists (which included my cousin's son who died from COVID-19 months ago). Are these 6th-grade sociopathic reptiles never received any affection as children?

>>421157
That's not a case of /aco/ sucking, it's more like a case of standard lingo on anonymous imageboards. People seem to forget that part of the charm of 4chan is that you are *allowed* to be a total asshole and say anything you want without any repercussions thanks to anonymity.
For example, way before the PC/LGBT culture emerged, everyone on every board was referring to each other as fag or nigger, so much that both phrases effectively lost their meaning as insults.

tl:dr; don't jump in the pool if you don't know how to swim.

>>421160
I know to "swim". It's just that the "waste" has hit upstream.

>>421164
There was never anything but waste there.

>>421160
>allowed* to be a total asshole and say anything you want without any repercussions thanks to anonymity.
And that the reason why there is so much shit

>>421170
>And that the reason why there is so much shit

Nah, the reason 4chan is so bad now is because selective moderation, zero administration or transparency in administration, stupid board rules, and nonstop shilling for big media.

>>421172
nothing gets done and users become literally sick

>>421172
>selective moderation, zero administration or transparency in administration, stupid board rules
But that has always been the case for 4chan.

>>421185
No. Bans used to be public, there was even a public list for them to browse, and you also had a suggestion box form which had public replies from the administration.
The ban list may be there (I didn't check), but visible bans are extremely rare and used only as jokes, the suggestion box got 0 updates after Hiro took over and then was removed entirely, and the whole "high quality posts" rule basically gives carte blanche for janitors to delete any post they don't like with no rhyme or reason.
Moot at least told his moderators how to run the site, for better or ill. Hiro doesn't do jack shit beyond hiring more janitors every three or so months and letting the site rot.

4chan is being stupid slow with the election drama going on.

>>421508
At least it's not spilling on /co/ TOO much.

>>421509
It's not about it spilling over, it's that posting is slow and images take much longer to load.

>>421511
Oh that's a thing? Thought it was just my shitty internet.

The captchas are getting worse.

>>421639
You mean is google captcha getting revamped for the worse, or did they just up the difficulty so you have to solve it for ten minutes before it lets you through?

>>421642
On Pixel Planet the Captcha is actually faster and better (for a browser that is not Chrome-like).

>>421645
What is Pixel Planet?

Seems like one of those games where you can edit 1 pixel of a huge canvas, except the canvas is a really huge map of the planet.

I remember back when someone did the same thing but with an advertising twist; every pixel on a website was individually sold as ad space. That one was interesting.

got banned on /h/ for posting a "loli" character on the rare hentai thread.

What was the character?

Makoto Shido from Idaten Jump.

I thought this was an EH thread, but after finally reading through it, decided it was good enough to show you:

it's sad how conversation on 4chan is slowly devolving, becoming the dialogue from Garth Ennis' "Crossed"

When mapped to English, yes.

What really sucks the most is your ISP getting blocked due to jackassery. I do not have the money to afford a pass.

You can get your IP changed with some ISPs. If you use ADSL, fiber, or anything else that requires PPPoE logins, you can usually just reconnect and get a new IP. If you have the same IP, try to change the mac address of whatever device that is closest to the incoming internet; either your router or your PC (or maybe a modem if you have access to it). When I had cable, this latter was necessary to change IPs.
