Any of you have suggestions of things which could improve this site? There are many glaring problems which are very trivial to solve. I'll start.
>Frogposting, even hidden, is an instant permaban. This includes Sharty basedjaks, averi and glegle, alongside other forced memes.
>Dedicated board for /ai/ Artificial Intelligence so /g/ has worthwhile shit to talk about.
>Alternatively to the above, /gg/ Technology General for all the generals which exist on /g/.
>Dedicated board for /kr/ Korean as a containment board equivalent to /jp/.
>Forcing /mu/'s KPOP thread to go to /kr/. A less elegant solution would be anything explicitly not music in the KPOP threads on /mu/ gets deleted.
>Have a dedicated board for /vgc/ Video Games/Gacha. Self-explanatory if you spent any time on /v/.
>Any forms of dysgenic speech (e.g. Sharty lingo and way of talking, zoomer talk) is an instant permaban.
>Forced meme posters, especially gacha ones (e.g. Spiki, Dororong, Essex) are either permanently banned or forced to post on /vgc/
>Having a dedicated /pr/ Programming board. Rust memelang and discussions on programming go there. One advantage is programming related threads can persist longer there.
>Having an /og/ Old Technology board dedicated to old software and tech discussions.
>Having a board for /vn/ Video Games/News to put Tendie and corporate shilling for new games put there.
>Avatarfagging is also an instantban offense.
This is the only way.
>inb4 "it's offtopic"
It is very much on topic given how how this site functions pertains to technology.

Not because it would make the site better, but because we already have pseudo-registration and it's retarded to keep pretending we don't, might as well be transparent about the enshitification 4chan went through

>>108219304
/trash/ already exists
Anyway nothing will change. Hiroshimoot doesn't give a shit about /g/. You can either stay and accept that or find another imageboard.
>>
>>108219273
Give the biggest boards a back alley equivalent that has more relaxed moderation and cannot be accessed by phonefags. Also it's "hidden" in the sense that you have to modify the address to access it. i.e.

>>>/a2/catalog
>>
>>108219273
my proposals to improve the overall quality of this website are:
1- enable geographic location for the entire site but do NOT give them the option of using memeflags
2- enable ID posts for the entire website
3- block 4chan on mobile so that phoneposters are not allowed

those 3 things would improve the quality of this site significantly
>>
>>108219330

By the way, you can tell how the vast majority of shartjeets are nonwhite simply by observing how many of them come to 4chan just to talk about how much they hate 4chan.

Too many rules. The internet has enough of that already. New boards would be cool assuming people actually post on them.
/b/ could be fixed. It's never random. It's just porn and poop posts. I'd recommend something similar but as extreme to r9k's duplicate post detector so at least the topics would get shaken up every now and then.
Like it's fine to talk about what you want...but the same thing every day?

/vt/ is probably the only board recently that actually worked to separate into its own board since its used a lot
an /ai/ board would be the same way, i think, and i would finally be able to stop filtering ai threads

i doubt anything is going to happen though because current owner seems too lazy

Frogs are fine on any board except anime-related boards. Shitjaks should be an instant permaban.

>>108219273
Your suggestions are basically splitting up boards and banning things you don't personally like, which would cut user interactions and hurt ad revenue for essentially zero gain

>ai board
>prevent mobile user agents from starting threads

4chan just bought Israelian security system to block VPN posters for an eye watering $100k dollars. It also block most of new virgin IPs as well. Its working but it killed like half of the website because posting on new PC / Phone / Browser / Fresh cookies is now an extreme annoyance.

I think people just move on to other chan instead.

I'm surprised this non-kosher thread is still up. Anyway I feel that what's been happening recently is a slow rotting of this website ever since the gook who bought it went hands off. It's likely 0 improvements are coming other than new captchas it seems. The fact that we still don't have support for WebP makes this pretty clear.

It would be more useful for everyone to recommend altchans. Hiro abandoned this shithole so why shouldn't we do the same?

My top suggestion: enough with the stupid captchas. Bring me back to classic captcha at once. I'll take the increased shilling. This experience is ass.

Second suggestion: a blog or some onsite transparency as to what's going on. Keep your loyal users in the know. Stop being a cryptic cocksucking admin.

Suggestion the third: remove /pol/. It would be really really funny. Just do it. Bring it back next year on April 1st for one day. Come on do you need a better reason?

>>108220461
Worse, they are per cookie. You can open two different browsers from the same IP and get two different IDs. That's why glavset hookers and wumaos love that shit, and flags they can rotate with their embassy VPNs. Identification and tracking of users never helped anything.

This. But that would require effort.

If this ever happens, I will be okay with this option. /pol/ is the reason this site is fucking ruined.

Making an AI board is warranted but we don't need 30 other boards which will app have 1 post per year.
Also, make pass users solve captchas to cut down on bot posting.

>>108219273
Make the captchas harder, include the spacial rotation iq test, but add a verbal iq test, add a number pattern test. This will filter out the esls and the stupid even more than the current captcha has.

spur is a fingerprinting service that is now required to post. When you request a captcha, it does its javascript malware test to determine if you are a real user that's not on a VPN/proxy. If you pass, 4chan stores a cookie and then you can get a captcha. The cookie expires after a few hours so after that you have to connect to spur and get fingerprinted again. The ublock filter maintainer went full retard and nuked the default setting of blocking third party scripts on 4chan so now you get served malware out of the box with default ublock settings

What setting in UBO fixes the malware problem? Or is it just a matter of having the latest version?
