How to improve Veeky Forums

the moment blantant hw posting is allowed this board will be unbrowseable

When did the hw posting start because it's already unbrowsable?

well you're still here so it's not completely unbrowseable

it'll be open season for every retarded brainlet freshman to start just posting their full hw assignments if it's ever allowed, it would never work

If by "climate" science, you mean climate change denial threads then I agree.

Different user. I kinda feel like I'm actually making a difference. It would make my noble deeds easier if there was a rule in the sticky against posting unsourced data and against "redpill" dumps. But I think it's important to educate people on how to look at things from a scientific perspective. Maybe add a tutorial on "how to fact-check."

Alternate proposal:
>Can we please have some moderation?

It seems that Veeky Forums, more than most slow boards, gets all shit up easily but mods/janitors don't seem to be doing anything about the shit, while at the same time deleting good threads. I just don't get what's going on in the mind of these people.

You wanna ban me? Get real faggot.

>Hiroshima Nagasaki says we can talk about how to improve our board.
Stop using reCANCER, actually enforce global rule #6, problem solved.

1. ban flat earth threads
2. filter the word brainlet into something else

>2. filter the word brainlet into something else

Someone hurt this brainlet's feelings.

Op you forgot to ask for an upvote system.

-t /pol/

-delete /pol/
-permaban alt-reich shitposters
-country flags and post id's on all boards
-greatly expand the word filter
-more mods

Delete flat earth, pol, and conspiracy theory threads.

>Allow an "Academic General" thread once a day for university related shitposting and shameless hw plagiarism
This is actually a good idea. Ban all of this outside this thread, since its all over the board already, and confine it to this one thread, like /sqt/

Also, delete all "I have this idea for ..." threads

>filter the word brainlet into something else
Fucking this. Let's replace it with something more offensive, like mongoloid or retard.

You realize all your proposals will just make things worse right?

That's fine I guess.

You can't just silence the morons. It will make you feel better, but it's not going to fix the problem. We need some info in the sticky about fact-checking and posting unsourced data.

...

this

What we need is a stickied Stupid Questions Thread, and a ban on all stupid/simple questions that are not posted in this thread.

The sticky would quickly become a mess, so there needs to be a small limit (250 posts), after which the current thread is unstickied, and another one automatically created.

How about banning shootposts

We need to ban all people with an IQ lower than 150, and ban all women.

>make posting sideways images a bannable offense
I vote for perma ban of phone posters.

>being against thought police makes you a right-wing pol user

No wonder Trump won

How about a word filter for brainlet and IQ? desu senpai

>t. alt cuck

Thread id#'s would be a huge help, they all but eliminate samefaggotry.

How can an opinion be so wrong?

samefag

>waaaah, ban topics i am too stupid to defend!!!!11111
back to your safe space, pls

sounds excellent

Literally just deleting threads that don't adhere to the rules like what should be happening and the board would be great. So many non Veeky Forumsientists, lurk initially then congregate in threads, playing off of one another. There isn't enough non-retards to batter down the retards. So they think their high school tier pseudo-philosophical 'musings' or anti-scientific dribble is actually intelligent.

It's not about that. It's about limiting the number of useless topic, that burry the intersting ones under a pile of shit.

here's how to improve the board: stop with the retarded backseat modding and whining like you're a faggot 12 year old, you absolute newfag. are you even in STEM?

>hurr my mom says we can talk about how to improve the board

you don't need permission for this you imbecile, mods are sissy idiots who do it for free

also fuck your whore mother

the raging brainlet whose only contribution the board is shitposting in troll threads

Nothing wrong with everything you just said. You CAN just silence the morons, Veeky Forums was stricter in the past and coincidentally threads were more engaging and the average user intelligence was 100x that of the present.

Though word filter is useless and retarded, present word filter is memes. It will add nothing except inhibit communication in round-about way. Country flags and post ids seems useless too.

Ultimately if threads no adherent to Veeky Forums's rules were instantly deleted there would be no retards here in the first place.

>you don't need permission for this you imbecile
It's a metathread, metathreads generally get deleted.

>WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
I'm a mathematics student and an ICPC world finalist. Do I call you an idiot here a lot? You probably are.

Oh yeah. Well I'm a 6'6" chef with a 10" dick who works at Wendy's making $500,000 and if you don't reply to this post your mother will die in her sleep tonight. Reading this negates your immunities.

>- Ban /pol/ tier threads unless they are about new scientific information that proves the superiority of the Aryan race. (new genomic studies, psychometrics, etc.)
agree. they are literally spamming

>- Ban all of the retarded bait threads (flat Earth, "evolution is wrong," 0.999... is not equal to 1, "real numbers don't exist" etc.)
agree, more spamming

>- Encourage more people to use Latex.
don't care about this

>- Encourage more discussion of lower level mathematical and scientific subjects so more people can participate in a meaningful way, instead of just giving opinions on the Fermi Paradox.
no reason to disagree

>- Allow and "Academic General" thread once a day for university related shitposting and shameless hw plagiarism.
no reason this board isn't just called /academia/ or something, no other board will know answers to most questions related to university

>- No more jokes about my mother, EVER EVER FUCKING EVER!
ur mum is a poopy

>- Ban all of the retarded bait threads (flat Earth, "evolution is wrong," 0.999... is not equal to 1, "real numbers don't exist" etc.)
I hope you mean to ban the threads arguing the real numbers exist

Have you tried replying to threads with intelligence and science?

The quality of discussion would improve remarkably if we could find a way to ban all undergrads.

>remove hw garbage
>ban OP
>actual moderation, or maybe just more jannies to clean up
>thread topics can be political issues, but a good amount of times the OP is written in a way to bait shitposters. Even if the thread wasn't trying to bait, they often times get dragged into /pol/ shitflinging, which is mostly just a symptom of this board having very little moderation

>lurk initially
>implying

Whatever you come up with here, please try out something. Usually those ideas just fizzle due to lack of consent.
Agree to rotate to ideas, and then keep what sticks.
Can we organize such enforcement periods here? Otherwise, nothibg will happen and the quality won'timprove

there's no way to organize a board of anonymous posters where no rule enforcement except censorship can be done. any attempt to organize a group to push ideas will fail and ends up littering the board more. I suggest you take it upon yourself to produce good content and give constructive replies, this is the best thing you can do.

>idiots being idiots is a symptom of little moderation
this is not how anonymous imageboards work
if you want to attract better posters then post better content and discourage idiots from posting

>I'm
Whatever user

>ban flat earth threads
not an argument, small brain.

agree on most but evolution IS fake.
At least many parts of it.

>Ban /pol/ tier threads
who gets to decide what is pol and what isnt? this will just cause us not to be able to discuss any controversial subjects.

I feel like Veeky Forums as a whole has gotten significantly worse in the past few months, it was already in decline, but it feels like it's been significantly faster recently, especially these past few weeks

It'd be discouraging via moderation

you're wrong. it's been roughly the same for years.

I have noticed it has gotten way worse the past few months too. Don't know if it's due to world events or something else.

spring break, winter break, summer break. learn this.

It feels worse desu, I feel like it's partly due to all the news coverage /pol/ brought here during the election
I want to believe so, but the shitposting seems so much more rampant and harder to ignore now, hell, Veeky Forums feels a lot faster now too

Why would anyone want to discuss science on Veeky Forums of all places? It is inevitable the board is filled with trolls, literal retards, circlejerking and parroting.
Sure, the mods could go full Nazi mode. You would just end up with a dead board and during the few actual discussions still going on, you would still have no idea whose posts are credible or not due to anonimity.

Literally go anywhere else you bunch of spergs. (Hint: try you peers at uni)

there is no reason to come to this website at all. go to physicsforum or reddit for legitimate discussions that mean anything.

>- Allow and "Academic General" thread once a day for university related shitposting and shameless hw plagiarism.
filthy undergrads need to stop infesting my board
give them an inch and we'll be surrounded in the fuckers.

it's good in here as it is now. as good as it always was.
more moderation however, is always nice and welcome.

Not reddit. The lurking retards on that site have the vote, and plausible ignorance is given greater validation from them then any kind of actual discussion/insight. Exception being the shells of specialist subs, but the vast majority of those are dead boards at this point.

Veeky Forums used to be slow as fuck. Not that it was the best either, but at least you could take time to answer a thread in a meaningful way.
Now the constant spam of shitposts is ruining the board by burrying good threads.

>heres how i will improve a thread in an anonymous image board
>start banning people which requires getting rid of anonymity.

You are a brainlet.

Yeah, I feel the same. I might take a break from this site until news coverage blows over... or it goes bankrupt. Whichever comes first.

I do. Subscribe to my youtube channel and learn

He never said anything about baning people. Just baning retardet posts.
Nice strawman m8.

This reminds me that I haven't seen any global warming bait threads in a while.

okay, how about a tutorial on how to latex on here ? we can't even preview posts, it's trash. I can't even tell if what I am writing will work or not for sure, but I'm pretty certain it won't work anyway, cuz Veeky Forums is trash

$\cos(x)^2+\sin(x)^2=1$

if this doesn't work, I promise I'll spend the rest of my time shit posting and making this board much worse than it already is.

aight faggots, you earned it

>we can't even preview posts
yes you can brainlet

you need to use math and /math tags in square brackets

ID, Y/N Veeky Forums

ID improves discussion significantly, as once you get BTFO (people in Veeky Forums do get BTFO often, because most of the times we're arguing about scientific facts so you're either wrong or not)

I'm against it. Sometimes I play a little bit of devil's advocate. It can be a good way to advance discussion and get more info, but I wouldn't want to be ostracized for the rest of the thread. I also don't want to be stripped of all credibility if I make a stupid mistake or something or say something stupid by mistake.

Don't have a problem with /pol/, let's be honest most of us are /pol/ anyways.

Don't have a problem with retarded bait threads, I can just ignore them and honestly I find them amusing to post myself.

...

you didnt even do it right

t. user

>let's be honest most of us are /pol/ anyways.
no.

>honestly I find them amusing to post myself.
mods b& pls.

>retarded frog image
You know how I can tell you aren't in STEM?

Veeky Forums is going to shit because of Trump. They will go back 2 reddit soon.

we need to bring back miscegenation laws and nuke north korea

Fuck the Jews, we were created, only brainlets have problems with math, and fuck Latex like I fuck your whore mother.

>latex
[math]\frac{a}{b}[/math]

Here's how you improve Veeky Forums.

Any post containing the word "redpill" -> automatic ban

Any thread starting with a frog image -> automatic ban

Any post containing the words "scientifically speaking" -> automatic ban.

We've now filtered 50% of the brainless shitposting. Next we need a mod to delete ALL /pol/-threads and climate change threads.

This should clean up most of the retards.
