Can we talk about how 'general' threads are ruining this board?They attract a certain kind of loser that enjoys a parasocial relationship with celebs and or other users which goes against the spirit of an anonymous image board. This behavior enforces in jokes similar to old reddit narwhal beacons. It also suppresses the formation of new memes since these users just interact in their generals snuffing out more interesting threads.Perpetual generals should be banned
>>204459166Generals are where jannies hang out.
>>204459166All reality tv generals, especially fishtank, should be quarantined to their own board. Video games have their own generals board, why can't we be free of them?
>makes an off topic general thread to complain about general threadsSeeing how you're this stupid, I'm forced to assume you're some slack jawed redneck sack of shit. Yes, I can picture it now. I bet you don't brush your teeth either.
generals were a part of the death of 4chan. it's a direct result of reddit. before generals, threads were more fun. the topic would flow from various things and would often tern into something different from the OP. more fun stream of consciousness conversations, more trying to make each other laugh. twitter sucked away a lot of that fun, and annoying reddit faggots saturated 4chan.
>>204459166Not to mention my dick pics keep getting deleted.
>>204459166general threads killed several boards already. how do they not see it?
>>204459238this thread isn't a general, you stupid faggot. it's a thread about a singular, specific topic.
>>204459166All generals are hives of reddit faggotry and that's nothing new
>>204459166Generals only appear when the board already goes into a decline where we most threads are nothing but ironic shitposting and bait so there's a need to create a separate perpetual general to actually be able to discuss something specific. It's a symptom, not a cause.
>>204459260Wrong shithead, it's a general threadcomplaining about the board, meta threads like this are ALWAYS general threads and news flash -- they aren't allowed anyway! This thread is off topic and shouldn't be here.
>>204459166generals for non airing shows were banned before november 2019but some middle aged star trek fan infiltrated the moderation and keeps forcing them
>>204459199thisgenerals are what results form excessive moderationlook at /a/. it's 100% generals now
It is a known fact that generals attract the most mentally ill posters on this site. Every single one that I've looked at, without fail, had at least one schizo who made it his life's mission to spam that specific general with whatever retarded psychobabble he decided to base his entire personality around. What I'm not certain of is whether the presence of generals serves to contain some of these individuals to just one kind of thread, thus preventing their psychosis from leaking out onto the rest of a board. There is certainly no shortage of mental illness in non-general threads. What I wonder, then, is if the problem would be even worse without them.
>>204459486Inderesting. Would a 60s music general save /mu/ from the Nico tranny? And The Shittles spam as well.
>>204459486those posters are paidusually trannies. they get dimes for keeping generals up and creating the illusion of a "community"
>>204459166No one gives a shit about your opinion, reddit frog
>>204459166Just look at /hotd/got/ generals. I absolutely despise what goes on in that place. I'm a bookfag and I wish jannies would care, but they're too busy jacking off.I wouldn't mind normies getting interested in the lore, and if they'd just stay on topic, but /hotd/ has attracted the most disgusting homos and furry subhumans. and there's nothing i can do about it.
I've always suspected they removed post count for /ftl/ threads since they have low user interation.
>>204459404wrong
>>204459166Generals are so fkn r*ddit
>>204459166I'm a fan of fishtank, and usually enjoy the threads because i actually have a life and cant watch it 24/7... but the fact that there are generals for it WHEN IT ISN"T EVEN AIRING is kinda fucking stupid.
>>204459654*slams fists on table in anger*
>>204459692>I'm a fan of FishtankKill yourself. Strip naked, pour gasoline over yourself and light a match.
>>204459596You're a retard.
>>204459238Hiro allows one thread per board to talk about the board.Fish tank general whatever the fuck is ruining this board.Prove me wrong.
Generals are shit, but they are a symptom not a cause If /tv/ wasn't so awful we likely wouldn't have generals, but half of /tv/ just wants to discuss the latest Netflix zogslop. Any threads about older films archive fast and rarely get many replies
>>204459701I literally just did this
>>204459240You got here in 2016 so your opinion is meaningless
generals are for fags but I dont get why they dont want a dopamine hit of replying to multiple threads and instead stay talking about nothing important
>>204459904incorrect. 2005. what do you disagree with?
>>204460010Why are you lying on an anonymous board
>>204459967>talking about nothing importantThat's all of 4chan
>>204460038I mean 4chan, not /tv/ obviously. but okay, say nothing.
>>204460056>say nothingI already said it, you're a liar.
>>204459166once we get rid of frogposters, we can get rid of generals too
>>204460134frogs are 4chan
>>204460134Tranime reaction pics will NEVER return.
I wish hiro would care about us bros
>>204459404you are generally retarded
>I was here in 2005So what, you fapped to CP and gore when you were 15 and that makes you an arbiter on what this board should be 20 years later?
>>204460349I responded to>You got here in 2016 so your opinion is meaninglessfaggot
Why can’t you fat fucking faggots stay on topic? Post generals
>>204460364Regardless, your opinion is worthless. Don't you get it?
>>204460175>frogs are 4chan :)not since 2016
>>204460366
>>204460397it was more of a comment, really
>>204460412A very honourable addition
>>204459553>they get dimes for keeping generals upWait what? All generals? What about /vg/?
>>204460405Normalfags also breathe so you should stop.
Fast boards shouldn't have generals. Slow boards like /his/ need containment threads for controversial topics
>>204460481lol, that retard thinks that breathing is a meme
>tfw I had a hand in killing the Star Wars generalsDisneyshills and Filonifags fear me.
>>204460736Based comrade.
