/jp/, I guess it's time for us to wake up from our self-induced phlegm and do something about the state of this board.

What the mods say behind our back about /jp/ - that it's the garbage bin of 4chan, lacks a clean-cut identity and all in all is the laughing stock of the entire site - is becoming closer and closer to the truth with every passing day, therefore I propose to map out a contingency plan to follow in order to improve the quality of this mod-forsaken place and better our stature to the eyes of the other boards.

Any suggestion?

Right off the bat, I would already have two we could use as general guidelines that could already be adopted from this very moment on.

1) Ban all Japanese IPs. I know this can sound quite eccentric for a board devoted to suck up to otaku-oriented Japanese franchises, but they have proven to be despicable posters, what with their abysmal command of English and their one-track mind (their sole contribution is an endless string of pointless invectives against Korea, 'nuff said).
As our goal is to weed out bad apples, I propose to deny them access to /jp/ at once.

2) Ban all 3D stuff. Ignoring our common distaste for what they worship, idolfriends and their associates are becoming cockier and unrulier by the day.
Because they blissfully disregard that their behavior makes them guests to this board rather than true denizens, I fear that before we know it this ego trip of theirs will in a not so distant future be our very undoing.
I do not advocate their ousting, but actively keeping them in check would be a first step toward the right direction.

And I'm done. The ball is now in your court, my friends.

The only thoughts that come to mind are that, first off keep /jp/ as Japan/General, and now it could be a board about JAPAN. And stop with all the "lol this board is for touhou only".

And create a board for Japan/Geemu, which would include VN and Touhou for example. If it would be splitting up too much, a lone board for touhou would attract people as well. But most importantly, futa's should seperate from /d/.

Seriously speaking, the biggest problem /a/ has is normalfriends. I'm not saying this as 'HURR NEET IS LEGION UNVIRGIN GET OUT', but normalfriends don't watch enough anime to have decent tastes, lack the motivation to come up with original content, and only discuss flavor of the month series. Add to this that the board is too fast for discussion that's not throwing dumb 'LOL UR ANIME SUCKS PRETENTIOUS SHIT FOR FAGS' oneliners back and forth, and the 14 year old shonen fanbois are the icing on the cake.

So, no, from what I've seen going there every other week or so, /jp/ has yet to sink to such levels of shit. Which brings us to, why 'better our stature', it's not like having some of their posters migrate over would be anything but bad, be it the 14 year olds or the college normalfriends that aren't dedicated enough for serious discussion.

But seriously, they are. We have a single mod over on /a/ who ever does anything, and he's stated quite clearly before that he's the only mod who still seriously watches anime. Surely moot watched Code Geass and a few others, but for the most part the mods are normalfriends. Also, keep in mind that /jp/ has inherited old /a/'s innate critical nature which demands proper posts and proper humor. If you've ever seen moot type, he doesn't even capitalize "i's". He also doesn't seem to care for loli. I suspect he's never played a visual novel or touhou as well. What reason would he possibly have to like /jp/?

I know the distinction is somewhat vague, but there's a difference between asking for help with getting into a medium and constantly making 'I played x y z what do I play next' threads. The kind of posters we'd get from more dedicated boards like /co/ are likely to assimilate into the board, and contribute to normal discussion as VNs come out, while the /a/ posters are stuck in an endless loop of asking for reccomandations and making redundant 'I PLAYED THIS IT WAS SO AWESOME I FEEL THE NEED TO BLOG ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW' threads.

This is why I don't approve of /a/'s normalfriends; while both them and future good posters start with the same 'how do I get into VNs' threads, /a/ posters never seem to grow out of them, remaining in a perpetual guest/newbie form.

You make it sound as if the other boards look down upon us. They might despise our topics, but I'm pretty sure they know we're one of the more mature userbases on 4chan.

Moot needs to strip the mods of their global power. You either frequent the board you moderate or you don't deserve to moderate that board. It probably takes the average mod 15 or more seconds to decide whether if the query on their report log belongs or not. Which is a lot of time considering the fact that they get hundreds of reports each minute. If they had a better understanding of the boards in which they moderate, they would be able to moderate more efficiently.

It would probably only take the average /jp/er 4 seconds to decide if a thread belongs here or not. That's the difference between someone that frequents a board and someone that doesn't.

/bun/ in my opinion was created at a bad time. /jp/ is still a pretty good board (even by old /a/ and /tg/ standards). /bun/ wont be needed until a few years later once /jp/ers start getting fed up by the shitposters. But this is under the assumption that a board like /jp/ could be killed.

>>3839122,25
Are you new here? It was people like you that allowed old /a/ to die. Whenever serious discussions about the death of /a/ appeared, it was people like you that casually brushed it off as paranoia. Now look at /a/. Doing nothing while a board is dying is not an option.

But you were correct about most of the things you said. /jp/ is still good for three or two years and metathreads like this aren't needed right now. If op wants to help protect our board's culture he needs to do it more subtly. And by that I mean, voice you concerns in the offending threads (not create your own offending threads). Hint: it's not helping.

/jp/ is the first user moderated board on 4chan. The reason for this is that we've already witnessed the death of an imageboard before, and we will try to do everything in our power to stop it from reoccurring. On /jp/, we, the users decide what is accepted on our board. If we simply ignored what was being posted, /jp/ would have become generic (3D) wapanese forum #34353. We said NO to the Japanese fellatio crowd, and because of it, /jp/ is a one of a kind board.

I think there is room for lots of stuff in /jp/ that includes japanophile stuff.

Being interested in Japan and Japanese language is not "normal". People who are interested in that are not normalfags no matter how hard you try to fit them into that mold.

I don't care what the wapanese/weeaboos are; they out number us /jp/ers 1000 to 1. 99% of all Japanese culture forums out there can be summed up as: "I love Japan period!" Topics about kawaii bishies, shitty j-pop bands, and lackluster j-dorama dominate said forums. Cant /jp/ be the one place where we can discuss the 2D aspects of Japan's culture. I do not want these people any where near /jp/: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP5lz2CYNR4

>Are you new here?
Been 4channing since 2004.

>It was people like you that allowed old /a/ to die. Whenever serious discussions about the death of /a/ appeared, it was people like you that casually brushed it off as paranoia. Now look at /a/. Doing nothing while a board is dying is not an option.
I stopped posting on /a/ sometime after it reached 1 million posts. It was no longer interesting at that point. I definitely didn't participate in worthless meta-discussion while I was there, since I was too busy actually talking about anime and shit. I just ignored your brand of faggotry altogether.

>And by that I mean, voice you concerns in the offending threads
No. Hide offending threads and report them if they actually break any rules. What kills a board is flaming, spamming, trolling, etc. /jp/'s "general" nature is laissez-faire whether you like it or not. If this wasn't the case, the mods/janitors would have deleted all the non-Touhou/VN threads a long time ago. Making a stink about everything is the quickest way to kill a board, and faggots like you seem to be trying their damnedest to do so.

>If we simply ignored what was being posted, /jp/ would have become generic (3D) wapanese forum #34353
No. The wap posts would have just just sunk to the bottom. User-moderation works best by directing discussion/mandating culture through the creation of your own content, not by shitting all over somebody else's. /jp/ has a rather narrow set of interests that flourish on this board due to the sheer numbers of people who support them. Shouting down things you disapprove of just leads to factionalism, high-tension, and a generally not-cool atmosphere.

It's funny, that for all your bitching about "/a/ when it was good" dying, you seem to be eager to adopt the very tactics that sent it down the shitter in the first place.

Take it easy, nig-nog.

Continued:

Also, if you're blaming the degrade of /jp/'s quality on /a/ then you obviously haven't been here for long. Spoilers: most /jp/ers are from /a/. When /a/ split, everyone made the decision of what board they wanted to stay on. Neo-/a/nons for the most part have stayed on /a/. The shitposters, trolls, and spambot-herders on /jp/ are all veteran users from old /a/.

One more thing, since you apparently weren't here during the creation of /jp/, I'll give you a quick history lesson. /jp/ was (unfortunately) created to be the garbage dump board of 4chan. moot got tired of all of our visual novel and Touhou discussions on /a/ so he created /jp/ to act as a garbage dump for all of said discussions that didn't belong on /a/. That didn't include j-pop, Japanese birds, or Japanese movies. Those topics already had their boards (i.e., /mu/, /an/, and /tv/ respectively).

Tell me again why you think Japan is so special. Where in /mu/'s rules did it say you may NOT discuss j-pop? Where on /ck/ did it say you cant talk about kawaii sushi with Meru? If /jp/ acted as a host for every topic related to Japan it would have the third most topics behind /b/ and /r9k/. It's /jp/'s niche topics that keep out immigrants. Take away said niche, and /jp/ would become /b/ with Japanese topics. If we went by "all things Japan are welcomed" what would stop us from talking about anime on /jp/? Last time I checked, anime & manga are from Japan.

/jp/ was created for Japanese topics that lacked their own boards. The one exception was Touhou, a topic that technically belonged on /v/. I guess moot made that exception because it was the Touhou fans' behavior that created the board in the first place.

Ws were carried.

>I stopped posting on /a/ sometime after it reached 1 million posts.
So let me get this straight, you left /a/ when it was good, then later in your post you went on to comment about how it died (even though you weren't there during the days of its death)? Yeah, makes perfect sense. If you don't know something then please don't open your mouth about it. It makes you look like a moron.

>I just ignored your brand of faggotry altogether.
There weren't even meta-discussions back on post-1M /a/. Well, at least not the meta threads you're referring to. Meta threads about the death of /a/ didn't occur until 6 million post later.

>No. Hide offending threads and report them if they actually break any rules.
Back on 1M /a/, most users didn't even have filter scripts.

>What kills a board is flaming, spamming, trolling, etc. /jp/'s "general" nature is laissez-faire whether you like it or not.
No you [edit: taking it easy], boards die when the ratio of newcomers to veterans gets unbalanced. When old /a/'s veterans fled from /a/ to /jp/, no one was left behind to protect /a/'s culture. Consequently, /a/'s culture was shaped by newcomers.

>Making a stink about everything is the quickest way to kill a board,
So what do you suggest we do, sit around and do nothing while history repeats itself. What point of /a/ died did you not understand?

It's so obvious from your post that you just discovered 4chan in 2008. I think I should put you to the test. I could ask you some questions about /a/'s old users, stickies, and topics and see if you can answer them.

>Shouting down things you disapprove of just leads to factionalism, high-tension, and a generally not-cool atmosphere.
You obviously don't know how Touhou fans work. The culture of hijacking threads we disagree with is part of our blood. A guest such as yourself can never understand the ways of Nameless Fairy and/or Your Local Chink.

>It's funny, that for all your bitching about "/a/ when it was good" dying, you seem to be eager to adopt the very tactics that sent it down the shitter in the first place.
Please do not speak of things you don't understand. That'd be like me talking about the death of /v/. I wasn't there during the death of /v/; therefore, I have no say in matters regarding /v/. (<- Assuming /v/ wasn't always dead).

Well I still think you should get fucked. I am not a weeaboo by any stretch of the imagination I am just not a closed minded bigot and I know how to ignore most of the stuff that doesn't interest me. If you guys had you way there would be about 20 posters on /jp/.

Face it /jp/ is never going to be like the original /b/ or old /a/. The stuff moot has done and hasn't done preclude that. No matter how much "peer moderation" you try and force with trolling. spamming and shitting /jp/ up. You are all living in the past.

As pathetic as it is, I probably could do this to a limited degree. I can remember Humbert Humbert and his unhealthy obsession with Shinku and Henticle being a generally awesome person. I was alongside /a/ for most of its favorite shows during that time too, but fell out of it once /a/'s tastes declined. (Or maybe mine just improved). For what it's worth, I never stopped lurking on /a/ entirely. It just wasn't "my board" anymore after 1M GET, and I'd be lost if you tried referencing some sort of meme or infamous poster from the board's current userbase.

The rest of your post is grade-A xynta, mostly because it relies upon you trying to discredit my e-experience more than anything else. Though, to be quite honest, your posting style initially struck me as somebody who discovered 4chan in 2008, because it is tinged with levels of care that only really started showing up after nonsense like the Haboo raids. I associate old 4chan with detached retardation, not high-tension blubbering. Even if we are kindred spirits, I suppose that it has less to do with how long you've been here and more to do with you just being a plain terrible poster. Your autistic obsession with maintaining community standards (as if an imageboard should have such things) and your inability to simply ignore things you don't like do a lot more to damage the atmosphere of this place than some uninformed post does.

I guess that's the difference between you and me: when I think of the "good old days," I remember a time when the goals of an anonymous BBS were carried out with some degree of regularity. I seek to maintain that general spirit. Your conceptions of the good old days are based in narrow-minded perceptions of "culture," knowledge of memes, and other superficial bullshit that we both know will never return. You see a certain topic on /jp/ and you flip out, because it wasn't how things "were meant to be." I see the same one and ignore it, because I have not become the internets serious business faggot that we both used to mock.
