Thread 23143900

what changes would you do in this website if you could

personally:
>allow videos with sound on all boards
>make a /kg/ (Korea/General) for the Kpopfags
>make /jp/ Japan/General again
>maybe create a religion board (there’s /his/, but it can be too messy sometimes)
>architecture and appliances board

allow strike-through text style
bring back ip counters
more moderation transparency / clearer rules
some stuff that's already in 4chan-x is really nice and could be integrated natively
at least off-topic blue board (besides /vip/)

>>23143900 (OP)
i would ban everyone for exactly 20 seconds so they all think it was some government psyop

first thing i would do is katana chop all brazillian niggers in half

>>23143900 (OP)
Posting anime would get you banned

Add a random board with 20 pages for generals.

>extend definition of off-topic to threads that are obviously just about the off-topic attached image not the bodytext, i.e. twitter screencap threads
>stop banning for saying nigger on hobby boards
>bring back ip counters
>ban daily recurring generals from /bant/, move all of /bant/'s to /trash/
>ban frog spam
>include DT-type blog threads in the definition of "spam"
>ban ecchi dump on /bant/

>>23143920
>maybe create a religion board (there’s /his/, but it can be too messy sometimes)
This might be a good idea because the constant low-IQ debates on religion on /his/, /lit/, and /pol/ are annoying. I think maybe only history about religion should be allowed on /his/, religious texts on /lit/, and religious politics on /pol/. However, this might be too restrictive, because you're allowed to talk about, for example, philosophers' ideas without specific reference to text on /lit/, so I don't know if there should be a double-standard for religion. Maybe you can still talk about theology on /lit/ but not have i.e. denomination debates without reference to a textual work?

>>23144232
Maybe there should be big text on the top of the page that says "anime website."

>>23143900 (OP)
flags on every board!!

>>23144232
You could just extend /trash/ to 20 pages.

>>23143920
I'd love for there to be a religion board, isn't it odd that there isn't one?

>>23144259
If /vg/ can exist they can make a board for random generals.

>>23144259
>Maybe there should be big text on the top of the page that says "anime website."
OP said if I could make a change to the website. My change would simply be "no anime avatars".

range ban all third worlders. maybe the eurotrash too.

>>23144268
but then who's left for us to talk to?! Canadians..

>>23144278
Canada will become part of America soon either way

>>23144263
you mean something other than just Abrahamic religions? agreed, but it would end up being /pol/ just like every other fucking board.

>>23144265
Is that not what /trash/ already is?
>>23144268
/bant/ has too many burgers these days. It's barely international. Just look at this thread

>>23143920
The only change I would do would be permabanning you because these suggestions are horrible.

>>23144291
/trash/ is the gooner board with a couple of other generals mixed in. Wouldn't really be the same thing if porn spam wasn't allowed on the board.

>>23144283
/pol/ but it has some nigga defending shia Islam or some shit, sounds entertaining asf

>>23144281
inshallah

>>23144259
>Maybe you can still talk about theology on /lit/ but not have i.e. denomination debates without reference to a textual work?
sounds good enough to be honest
the only bad thing about a religion board is that it would quickly became a cesspool but that's expected, /his/ is already like that with the same bait threads everyday
>>23144062
>at least off-topic blue board (besides /vip/)
i forgot about that
closest thing to that nowadays is either /int/ or /v/

>>23143900 (OP)
No more cloudflare

>>23144306
Ew a shia. Praying to dead imams is shirk you dumbdumb

>>23144762
Oy vey cool it with the antisemitism

I would make everyone have Israel flag doe

>>23144772
yeah the flag tracks lmfao all that desert shit is equally nonsensical to me nigga

>>23143900 (OP)
I would allow the pony board to post NSFW stuff. I would also make another board for furry porn. I would also embed a game in the style of an old-school Flash game with a monkey called Don't be a retard. And you would play as a monkey that would avoid words that I consider to be retarded and I would update it every once in a while. I would also add an up doot and down doot system. The reactions would be so funny.

>>23144790

>>23143900 (OP)
samefagging marketing threads on v and tv would be illegal, but I accept it's probably a janitor they pay to keep the site alive.

the same guy does it all day everyday pushing sjw goyslop he will freak out if you point out his goyslop is bad. He does it from sun up to sundown, he will never let a thread die unless it doesn't go his way. Then he'll just make another

imo it's a huge problem, he's a Australian troony and he ADMMITED this

it's 50% of the threads on tv and v

>>23145032
I have almost a page of proof it's insane, 4chan really pays people to keep the lights on

or someone at Disney is genuinely sinking money into this guy

>>23144999
Yeah I noticed but didn't want to point it out myself. Probably the best ID iv ever gotten

>>23145032
Itll be a paid shill. The userbase is big enough for it to be worthwhile to a company to pay a shill to spam 4chan when some suprisingly small companies of them pay millions for viral/guerilla marketing on sites like jewtube

>>23143900 (OP)
1 - Remove all the porn boards like /gif/, /h/ and so on and ban porn site-wide

/gif/ is likely the board that wastes the most server space since it's all video, and sharing this kind of content in an imageboard is stupid.
Having a 4MB filesize limit means you'll only be able to share short clips anyway.
The amount of effort to clip and convert porn videos and comply with the size limit is pointless. Just go to a real porn site.
Removing porn boards will also save the administration the headache of complying with age verification laws that so many countries are starting to implement.

2 - Ban all posters from Israel and India.

This one is pretty obvious. Most of the spam and low quality content comes from them.
Other imageboards have solved 99% of their CP spam problems by banning these two countries.
Curious, huh?
This would also make boards like /biz/ usable once again without all the coordinated Indian discord scams.

3 - Remove all flags from /pol/. Both national flags and memeflags.
This is a political discussion board, you don't need to know where other posters are from, and it only gets in the way of real productive discussion.
A lot of the time, instead of arguing fairly people will just insult the other person's country to avoid an argument that they are losing.
And by banning Israel and India most of the low quality spam will go away anyways.

>>23143920
>>allow videos with sound on all boards
This would just waste a fuckton of server space, and third party archives wouldn't be able to store any of it.
Sharing video on an imageboard is kinda dumb. Sites like these are meant to be lightweight and easy to run and operate.
Hosting video overcomplicates everything for no good reason, and within the filesize limits you'll only be able to share short clips anyway.

You should just use Youtube or some other third party service to share video instead and put a link in your post.

A good compromise would be to allow Youtube embeds like so many other imageboards do.

I would use a similar structure and format that the Sharty uses. Their site is pretty good, it improves upon 4chan in pretty common sense ways, but it’s just filled with nonsense spam and is cursed

ffmpeglet
and people like jerking off to pictures
>Removing porn boards will also save the administration the headache of complying with age verification laws that so many countries are starting to implement.
it will not retard, if you think 4chan is going to be able to dodge this garbage just because it nukes porn you are delusional. Your own country wants that shit on all social media period.
the rest of your stuff is fine I guess. /pol/ is never not going to be a shithole but if you think removing flags would make it better then whatever.

>>23146668
>Retard
The real retards are the ones going to 4chan for porn when sites with 10x more quality and longer form content exist.
It's just stupid to go to /gif/ for low resolution video porn when dozens of sites exist with higher res with all the stuff you want on demand, instead of waiting for people to start a thread with the content you want with the same dozen webms reposted over and over again.
It's incredibly inefficient and something that imageboards aren't well suited for.
>ffmpeglet
Knowing how to use these programs well enough to comply with filesizes filters out 99% of posters, that's why you always see the same threads with the same dozen webms posted hundreds of times in /gif/.
>people jerk off to pictures
Fair enough. Boards with pictures make more sense, but whatever content you want from them you can always find them on booru sites.
In fact, 99% of the porn pictures posted here come from booru sites where the content is always available instead of randomly reposted and deleted over and over again. It's redundant.

>>23146605
>>23146735
>hurr durrr ban porn cause better websites for it exists
That makes no sense since people use the porn boards to share porn and get sources and then go to these porn sites for the source. It's like deleting /v/ because video game forums exists.

I like the idea of post IDs on more boards
if not all of them. File size limits should go up too.

>>23147669
Ah, I had a feeling it was you behind this thread.

>>23147873
my anon mask is off...
tbf only americans are really anon here

>>23147891
If it makes you feel better, in the early days of /bant/ there were some exceptionally rare flags that never had the mask to begin with. As for me, it's a truly rare moment when I post as anon.

>>23147894
the only sad thing about rare flags is that proxies exists, so its hard to know if its legit or just someone trolling lmao, i remember seeing a vatican flag on /spa/, it was hilarious

>>23148035
Such a man would gather (you)s just for existing.

I think consolidating some boards into 1 might not be a bad idea. Some boards should just be generals.

>>23143900 (OP)
Ban all women and trannies

>>23148812
What is the rarest flag you have ever seen that was probably not a proxy? It's a little hard to know, but I feel that in my case it was either zimbabwe or kyrgyzstan, as the anons I saw there gave a lot of details about their countries

>>23149451
Well, I usually take light hearted things like flags at face value until proven false. But if I had to be a skeptic about it..

Macedonia, Trinidad and Isle of Manlet were the most believable encounters with rare flags. Though my sample size is limited to /bant/.

There were many other encounters with more exotic flags but I'll stick to the confirmed ones.

>>23149516
In /bant/ the most exotic one i've seen was rwanda, but it was probably a proxy
I actually know a macedonian who likes touhou, cool guy

>>23149534
At the risk of going way more off topic than we already have..

When did you first start coming to /bant/ anyways?

>>23149544
first time i visited it was in 2020, but i only started really frequenting it since middle 2024 or so. i'm a newfag

>>23149534
i saw a guam flag on /bant/ once

>>23149617
No judgement in such a thing. I have only recently begun to post here again after many years of absence and I feel the terrain is as new to me as it is to you.

I hope it's been pleasant and remains pleasant during your stay.

Delete it

the obvious
* close #4chan IRC or ban all mods from posting in it in any capacity. YNH's verbal abuse is singlehandedly responsible for half the bad rep team4chan has.
* Start an actual volunteer program for non-vitriolic assholes / masochists in team4chan willing to do honest-to-god customer service
* mods actually willing to engage the site's off-topic culture instead of throwing a shitfit and killing the last off-topic board because it made them do extra work.
* bring back visible sage because it IS a downvote, it was ALWAYS a downvote, and it will ALWAYS be a downvote i can't believe we removed that just to get back at fucking reddit.
* bring back the IP counter. feature removal is fake and gay
* bring back feedback.
* bring back custom report context. no, you had no real good reason beyond "it hurt my hemorroids when retards bot spammed gibberish." an effortpost report is worth one fucking thousand bot spam reports and is obvious at a GLANCE. any mod without literal fucking eyesight problems could tell gibberish from actual text
* thread ids for all boards because samefagging was ALWAYS cancer
* making /intg/, /gg/, /cog/ and /ag/ to purge all generals from boards that NEVER NEEDED GENERALS.
* force gachashit out of /vg/ the speed disparity between them and *everything* else is ridiculous

>>23143900 (OP)
the experimental
* an off-topic board for each general topic (vidya, anime, comics) to ossify the no-off-topic policies for hobby boards. So you stop BANNING EVERY SINGLE COMMUNITY PROJECT HOLY SHIT WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM.
* promote younger mods and give them limited css hacking access and the ability to fuck around so we can incentivize COMMUNITY.
* Maybe create a non-mod role with the same privileges, but without being able to ban.
* make /nternet/ & /meta/. yes it's /qa/ under another name. yes i'm still salty about basedjaks.
* dox policy on schizos. once tagged all their posts reveal IP + user agent. no bros. no mercy. if you make 150 posts a day astroturfing /pol/, /g/, /r9k/, etc. making the site experience unfun for EVERYONE ELSE, only because a single chink/pajeet/invisible ghost/alien/covid/woman was rude to your IRL once, you don't fucking get a right to privacy. paid shills are not even considered human.
