Why is /lit/ so shit at the moment? I know the quality has been declining for a long time, but there's been a noticeable drop in the past week. Half the posts and threads have been extremely low effort spam and bait.

>> No.12798213

I am pretty convinced /lit/ doesn't have a dedicated moderator. The "/lit/ is a slow board" meme means that we probably share a mod with some of the other smaller, slower boards, which means that trash stays up longer than it should.

Discord is for underage faggots

Little kiddies, I have been keeping this site afloat recently with on-topic stuff but I have recently become distracted by what I can only describe as this vixen who is flinging her womanhood around in an attempt to attract a man.

I have thought it over, and there is a 0% chance she doesn’t want what I have. Could any of you have done this? Probably not, she is relatively older and many of you are in your younger 20s or so.

Point is, when the people see this they assume we leave 4chan or something something. Well I’ve talked about this extensively before, but I really don’t see any way around anything but this. This is a great interface, and I’ve even talked before about making sites like this and improvements upon them.

Anyway, me and her we see a way forward. She doesn’t hate me, and although she probably doesn’t love posts like this, she will always post, again, much more often than she did before I showed interest in her, and she will post here because she too likes the interface.

I somewhat dislike the culture, but what are you going to do? The culture has changed because of us as well, and the more she shows interest in me the more the gays and lesbians go away, to be overbourne by the rude of enjoyable heterosexuality - absolutely nothing tops it.

We’ll have a good night tonight, and oh yeah, my ban is over

Poster, Original. Dislike him. A cheap sensationalist, clumsy and vulgar. A phaggot, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. Some of his greentexts are extraordinarily amusing. Nobody takes his grievances seriously.

It’s actually quite the opposite. The problem is just that mod(s) keep deleting interesting threads for some reason. Actual ‘literature’ threads are boring in themselves because there is really nothing to talk about (wow I read this book, me too!, cool). That’s why there are larpers and shitposters posting spam and bait, it’s to actually save this board from dying off.

I also really feel that humanities should belong on this board and not on /his/ since it rarely gets discussed in that board and makes more sense here (which is why the humanities threads that don’t get deleted end up getting more traction in here rather than /his/)

This is an awful position. The classics are classics because they can be understood in multiple meaningful and interesting ways. I mean we still get dozens of original commentaries a year on Plato/Aristotle or even the presocratics. Also books constantly fall in and out of favour, one's that haven't been touched in 100 years can suddenly become required literature because of some asshole's commentary.

We just need a /religion/ board. Would instantly fix 80 percent of problems /lit/ and /his/ currently have.

1) To much off topic shit. Even superficial shit like stack threads are miles better than thinly veiled threads various unrelated crap.
2) People don't use sage enough meaning bait/shit threads survive for ages.

Too much talk about philosophy on this board. Not enough about books.

i don't think most of the pollution comes from pointless discussion about religion, but it is shit and i agree there should be a containment board for it. its the same discussion over and over again. the same talking points. its fucking pointless

Maybe we should look into getting more quality moderators. Also start a process where moderators can share there experiences with posters, to promote discussion for an improved /lit/ board.

Suggestion, add this to the sticky thread.

>>12800547
Yeah definitely. We need some much heavier moderation and maybe a sort of voting system so the best posts are at the top of the page, oh and maybe usernames too so we can keep track of the problematic posters and trolls. We should rebrand ourselves too; 4chan is associated too much with the alt-reich. How about “Read It”?

Highly doubt that will ever happen. I was a janitor for, don't judge me, /v/ for a year or two and policy is to not interact. Kind of stupid, I think. I'd do it for free for /lit/ if we could interact with the users. Especially in threads like this.

You’re 47 here? Bullshitttttt FUCKING BULLSHIT. Are you serious? 40 fucking 7? Is that your actual age ?

I wasn’t trolling, but if that’s your literal age then I am calling this off sorry.

Just to be clear, if you’re a little younger then we should be okay. But 47 is no good.

Either way this experience has served to better a lot of things.

This is the only solution. Pretension is what makes /lit/ great. Dishonest conversation about literature is still conversation, and it encourages corrective effortposting. Lazy meming does nothing and encourages nothing and is a blight on this site. The meme trilogy is both a joke and a benchmark: for every poster we persuade to read even one of those books, and especially read all of those books, we have another person who is capable of reading beyond the level of a ten year old. Shelf threads and stack threads are tiresome but they nonetheless encourage reading, because being in the immediate presence of books makes it just that much more likely that you'll actually open them. Literature and language are /lit/'s heart and soul, but philosophy is its lifeblood. Even all of the LARPative Christcuckery keeps /lit/ in closer orbit to Beauty than the alternative, and even the proliferation of trite threads about the manifestos of banal murderers is a truer /lit/ticism than Londonfrog or Butterfly or niggerposting. Take /lit/ back: the pseud at least strives for sublimity rather than accepting wallowing in phenomenological filth.
