/lit/ - Literature

>>8895620
Because there are so many shitposts and bait threads

>>8895623
How is that new to /lit/? I think it's some new overly zealous underage mod

>>8895620
The community has been complaining about the threads unrelated to literature, the frogposting, shitposts and low quality content.
The mods are just enforcing the rules, but the truth is that most of us don't want the kind of shit you guys post here.

I frogpost all the time. Never got banned. But it's always lit related so that's probably why.

Is frogposting specifically frowned upon or bannable?

>>8895620
Because they're buttmad SJW cucks and the userbase of this board is mostly rulecuck redditors.

>>8895643
Better late than never.
I don't think /lit/ has endured so much Reddit/imgur/pol/r9k/ cross-posting in one year.
this is an image board about reading books on an obscure taiwanese paper-folding forum, and yet it's a constant warzone

>>8895818
Frogposting is fine IF the thread is legitimately literature-related and not a thinly veiled excuse to start a thread about Trump or why women are awful. There's a frogpost on the catalog right now about the Prose Eddas that is within the rules and does belong on /lit/. It is a regular literature thread that just happened to start with a picture of a frog.

>>8895842
>implying people who complain about /pol/ aren't from Reddit
It's hilarious to see you nu-anons bitch and moan about 4chan culture on fucking 4chan. Just go back to your home site and everyone will be happy.

>>8895823
do you even think in your own words anymore

>>8895846
>everything I don't like is off-topic
Explain this then.

Complete text of a thread that was deleted by the mods

>In plato's republic. He suggests censorship for the children so they grow up brave and strong.

>What films, music, games would be suitable today? What would media would you hypothetically bring up your child on so they grow up strong and courageous. Since kids are impressionable, you wouldn't want shit that encourages promiscuity or homosexuality (so ban 4chan). Which disney films? Which studio ghilbi films? Dark souls?

Does anyone here seriously think this is a low quality off topic frogpost?

>>8895823
>Anyone who doesn't like our redpill/alt-right/with jews you lose memes has to be from another website

/pol/ came from stormfront. They heard there was cheese pizza on /b/ and came to trade and leech. They spread out and took /new/ and /news/. Moot finely gave in to the maggots and gave them /pol/, they grew worse and spread to all the other boards, he deleted /pol/ for a while, but they didn't take the hint.
No one likes you, least of all /lit/, now censor yourselves, or gtfo.

>>8895853
Fuck off back to /pol/. You shitpost /pol/ topics on lit and then wonder why you are banned, and are you now ban evading or did it expire?

>>8895857
Did the thread evolve into pol shitposting? Because if so, yes, it should be deleted.

>>8895858
How fucking new are you? Do you get your chan history from ED?

>>8895850
I have been on 4chan longer than /pol/ as a board has existed. But now I only come to /lit/ and /fit/ because the other boards don't really interest me. These boards should be about literature and fitness, respectively, and you should keep your dubs worship and faggotry where it belongs.

>>8895853
This is one of the aforementioned "thinly-veiled bait threads." He did not start it to talk about publishing, he started it to bitch about politics. It would turn into a circlejerk about oppression and racism in seconds.
If it was a black frogposter saying white people are racist against him, it should still be deleted and he should still be banned, because that is not about literature.

>>8895620
because they don't want this board to become like /mu/

>>8895860
>>8895865
>le pol boogeyman!

>>8895853
Identity politics bait.
If you genuinely wanted to discuss this, then you'd have made an OP expounding on what you perceived to be a legitimate complaint instead of this retarded frogfaggotry accompanied with a complaint. What you wanted was a 'feel' thread that's not conducive to a literary discussion. Take that shit to /r9k/.

Also, let's be honest, you wanted a politics thread, right? You wanted to talk about how the liberal world-order is oppressing the white male? Why not post it on /pol/ then? It's not literature related

>>8895858
This is like watching my grandma talk about 50 Cent

>>8895873
>circlejerk

>>8895857
This is a thread about raising children, film, music, and games. It is not very low-quality but it isn't about literature. Disney films, studio ghibli, and dark souls are not books.

>>8895850
Been here since 07 when you were probably in elementary school learning how not to piss yourself.
"4chan culture" is a cheap spook fabricated as an ideological damage control because you kids feel attacked in your own precious safe-space secret club.
The idea that every board needs to be childishly reactionary, superficial, and militant so that those who enjoy being so aren't offended is exactly the behavior you dumbasses are fighting against.
This is the literature board and were gonna leave it that way.

>>8895866
I got it first hand. No need to look anything up on ED.

He didn't argue about politics at all, he told you to argue about politics somewhere else.
And I thought you guys had updated this deflection to that nu-anon image, didn't you?

>repeatedly
kek

>>8895899
Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean it's off topic bait. It was perfectly literature related unless you do extreme Reddit-tier mental gymnastics.

And we have threads about communism that don't get deleted, so you can't say that politics is banned. What's banned is views that the mods don't like, i.e. le pol boogeyman

>>8895894
It wasn't a discussion about plato, he just mentioned that as a segue into what the thread was actually about. He explicitly listed films, music, and games.

>>8895918
It's still literature related.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you filthy shitposter? I’ll have you know I moderate several boards, and I delet over 10,000 threads per month. I’ve been involved in numerous secret shadow banning raids on Gass posters, and I have over 300 confirmed bans. I am trained in rapid reply removal and I’m the most active mod in the entire internet. You are nothing to me but another keyboard. I will delete every comment you've ever made by scouring threads with Ctrl+F precision the likes of which has never before been seen on 4chan, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with acting like the rulesdoesn't apply to you? Think again, newfag. As we speak I am contacting Hiroshima and your IP is being traced, so you better prepare for the permaban, faggot. The permaban that wipes out that pathetic little thing you call your spare time. You’re fucking banned, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, I don't sleep, and I can ban you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my common janny apps. Not only am I extensively trained in anti trolling, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the 4chan ban hammers and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable postsoff the face of this website, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have read the fucking ruyes. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit bans all over you and you will drown in them. You’re fucking permabanned, kiddo.

Threads about communism should be deleted. Threads about Das Kapital or communist authors are /lit/.
Threads about the alt-right should be deleted. Threads about Nick Land and alt-right authors are /lit/.
This is very simple. I also find it hilarious that you mock /lit/ for hating le pol bogeyman when 1. You confirm it by actually flooding /lit/ with shit and 2. Simultaneously whine about an sjw bogeyman on 4chan of all places

>>8895911
literal cherry-picking

>>8895942
Then how come a thread that was explicitly about conservative books was deleted?

>>8895823
Not everyone is a nazi larper stormfaggot.
