>>16074this is what happens when the only justification for action mods use is "muh chan culture". so tripfags retort with "trips have always been a part of chan culture" and that shuts the mods right up because they're too young to remember HOW trips were used in the early stages of chans. hint: not as usernames, but so that you could identify an OP of a thread if it is required, like when someone with deep technical knowledge is explaining something. the OP was supposed to throw away the trip after the thread was done.
this instagram/SoMe generation that makes up most of the mod team and most of the users, doesn't know of an internet that isn't tied to a username or your real name (fb, google, etc.). they don't know what it's like to visit a website and not be required to login via google or your email/phone number. conversely, since they are used to the dopamine hit from fb likes, twitter hearts and retweets, instagram whatevers, they think you need an account for the drug to work. they haven't realised that (You)s have been added for this very purpose, and that you get the same dopamine effect from (You)s to an anonymous post as you do from a facebook like on your personal post.
now we get to the crux of the issue: does getting a (You) as an Anonymous user release the same amount of dopamine when getting it as a tripfag'd user?

The quality of the site has been not very good lately. This is plain to see.
>>16074It's a known issue. But consider their specific pathologies, they get worse when they do not wear their name. I think the vast majority of them should just be filtered by everyone. They are hyper online so you have to think about efficiency a bit maybe.

1. Encourage reading by promoting reading groups and coordinating site wide reading clubs.
Eg. This week we will read chapter 1-5 of x, have both fiction and non fiction options simultaneously.
2. Force anon on /leftypol/.
3. Next roulette topic, creative writing, to get people writing.

He’s still wrong though. There is nothing wrong with tripping if you want to, the beauty is you can do either or if you choose. I would argue that if you have a serious political program or program for the board you want to get across, a trip can be helpful because people can generally identify where you are coming from. It also forces you to be consistent, you can’t just engage in gotchas and sophistry from whatever position you want. This adds to quality.
It is no coincidence that the people who hate trips the most are also the most toxic and dishonest posters

No.16106
>>16102Throughout the entire history of this board there have been trips. If people could get over frothing at the mouth the trips have either been 1) lolcows, which are a source of lols and therefore positive, or 2) autists and skitzoids who actually have a lot of knowledge and interesting takes. Which is interesting and a positive. Honestly most of the tripfags are fine. I admit, I’m a tripfag, and only Bee was really annoying. If people shit up Siberia who cares that is what it’s for. Some of the trip/identify fags like sabo are some of the best posters.
Basically, people just need to chill. If you don’t like trips don’t post with one. If you don’t like somebodies opinion well, it’s just words at the end of the day, words in an irrelevant forum after all
No.16107
This and anglo control have so much potential it actually saddens me.
I'd propose a third measure which is allowing no one to post for more than 5 hours in a 24-hour period. These three put together would eliminate all problems the board has (the overlap between these three groups is extremely huge).
Otherwise
>>16094>hope that anprim poster gets laid/finds a job soonis the answer of normal people to this situation, which is just depressing. Without drastic measures there really only remains the hope they find something to do. This is the fundamental weakness of imageboards.
Consider someone who spends ten hours a day here is at least ten times as visible as someone who spends one hour here. Plus it does appear nearly every tripfag has mental problems which make them particularly obnoxious.

Some are attention seeking radlibs such as bee but they are in a minority, about 1 quarter of the tripfags

The tripfags in general are not the problem though. It’s the moderation. Always has been.
Certain mods
Pasq have also deliberately tried to chase away certain posters such as king Lear because they don’t like their political views. They spoke proudly about it to other mods.

There is no reason why a community can't self-moderate. Leftypol like to fall into the 'of course leftypol takes bait' meme but it's just that, an illusion that has been demonstrated false at times.
Don't like horny threads or incel threads? Bump better threads with interesting content that promotes discussion and remind others to do likewise.
Relying on moderation isn't the answer, moderators shouldn't have to intervene to stop low effort nazi AMAs and yelling about da blacks at the top of the catalog. That's only a necessity because the community here overall is dogshit.
