/christ/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

Sure, sounds like a good idea.

Can't you check the stats?

Unique IP's and whatnot.

Reporting in, currently rereading the stuff from yesterday.

> if we need to promote this board more. It also helps to foster a sense of community

This. If we grow too fast we may become a faster board but the community will also be less tight.

atm there are 17UIPs which makes us a part of the top 100 somewhere above /atheism/ and below /islam/

Checking in.

Haven't posted anything in a few days, but I still lurk.

What do you guys think about using a trip?

I was thinking about using one for a number of reasons.

One reason is its easier to follow a conversation, and know that you are still talking to the same person.

Another reason is personal accountability.

I have a bad habit of turning into a jerk when I disagree with people.

Having a tripcode will help to make me more accountable for what I say.

The reason I ask your opinions is because there are some good reasons to always post anon.

One is once people read a few of your posts, they are likely to form an opinion about you.

They can then judge your posts based on that opinion.

The opinion can be good, or bad, the effect is always bad.

Tripfag x always posts bullshit, therefore everything he says is bullshit.

Alternatively Tripfag a knows what he is talking about, and we should believe everything he says.

In both of these examples the conclusion is false.

We should judge posts by the content, and not the poster.

Having a tripcode makes it possible for people to judge posts based on who it was that made them.

Anyways what do you guys think?

Should I keep the trip, or go back to posting anon?

>>1707

I have never really often used my trip back on /christian/, however I want to start using it here for the most/all time.

If we want to have a community we should have identities.

Also I have experienced a rise in quality of my posts when I use it, since I am accountable for what I say as you said.

>They can then judge your posts based on that opinion.

>The opinion can be good, or bad, the effect is always bad.

I don't really think that judging posts should be our main aim here. I think that exchanging idea if people like them or not + forming a christian fellowship is the best we can do.

I still understand that not all people like using trips or tripusers but that's ok with me.

Just try what you like better or switch between the both

I never understood why Catholic precepts cross states like they do, or fail to leave a single state. Look at Texas.

[…]your name is the splinter inside me…

Just answer me one question: why would you come to anonymous imageboards of all places if that is what you wish for?

>>1719

Yep.

>>1722

>why would you come to anonymous imageboards of all places if that is what you wish for?

First of all this board is not full anon, if it were I would not have the option to put a name.

Secondly, if you read my other post, you will see that I came here for an "open exchange of ideas".

>>1710

>I think the aim should be truth.

>And that by the open exchange of ideas, we can discern truth.

You can tell it's my post because I posted with a trip.

That is one of the reasons I chose to use one.

Do you have a problem with people using names, and/or trips?

If so why?

>>1725

>First of all this board is not full anon

What is this slut saying? Maybe I misunderstood something, I'll see what's the reasoning…

>if it were I would not have the option to put a name.

I hate you.

I really do. I don't care if that makes me a murderer in God's eyes I still hate you. You've arrived at a place you don't understand and instead of learning about it or at least doing as Romans do, you haven't stopped at disregarding the unwritten law of the land but you actually have the audacity to proclaim yourself justified with reasoning that you've arrived at because of your inability to understand how the place works.

>I came here for an "open exchange of ideas".

You disregard some of the basics that constitute freedom of speech on imageboards so I'll have to assume you seek a different kind of "open exchange of ideas". Find yourself some kind of free thinker's forum or something.

>>1727

>you haven't stopped at disregarding the unwritten law of the land but you actually have the audacity to proclaim yourself justified with reasoning that you've arrived at because of your inability to understand how the place works.

I think it is you who does not understand how this place works.

If tripfagging was not allowed, it would not be possible.

>You disregard some of the basics that constitute freedom of speech on imageboards

How do you figure?

Does using a name limit my ability to post?

No.

Well then my freedom of speech is preserved.

As is yours.

If you could explain why it is using a name is bad, I'd be happy to consider not using it.

But if your just butthurt at the sight of a tripfag, I have no sympathy for you.

>Find yourself some kind of free thinker's forum or something.

What happened to that freedom of speech you were talking about?

It seems to me that you are trying to limit my free speech so that it does not apply to this board.

Also

Do you really think that this board needs less people?

>>1730

>There is no unwritten law

Ok, maybe it's not exactly unwritten as they're classified as "anonymous imageboards".

>>1729

>If tripfagging was not allowed, it would not be possible

How is it that I was able to learn what tripcodes are for and you people can't?

Consult >>783 , the part that is of interest starts with ">Enlighten us on the proper function of tripfags".

>How do you figure?

I've already told you. You disagree with the basic principle of anonymity. Something everyone that comes to anonymous imageboards should be familiar with and accepting towards. There are actual reasons why some people want to talk with one anther anonymously. You've chosen not to, which is absolutely ok, but this is not the place for it.

>If you could explain why it is using a name is bad, I'd be happy to consider not using it.

The thing is I shouldn't have to.

I could go into detail on the advantages of posting without identity but this is not really a matter of argument as in "let's debate whether anonymity is good or detrimental to discussion".

You've purposefully came to an anonymous imageboard, a place where people go to for anonymous discussion and you don't want that so I'm asking why. Why would you wanna go to a top hat wearers convention wearing a fucking bowler hat?

>What happened to that freedom of speech you were talking about?

What are you trying to say? Have I censored you or have I pointed out that your interests are conflicting with some basic ideas of how discussion is to be conducted around here and this is not about content but about indentity.

>It seems to me that you are trying to limit my free speech so that it does not apply to this board.

Already explained.

>Do you really think that this board needs less people?

If the survival of this board relies on tripfaggotry then it's better dead so is 8chan in general if it's survival must come at the cost of plebbitors dilluting board culture beyond recognition.

Also your image is unrelated. It's not about Anonymous disliking things. It's about you not agreeing on some basic principles of conversation that everyone under Anonymous username has agreed to.

I'm sure there are other places that are more suited to your vision of how discussion is to be done and you should find yourself such a community, not attempt to change this.

>>1737

>The problem you have is that people can do what they want to and don't care for your sacred rules since they do not exist.

It's a really simple concepts to tacle.

Let's go back to the top hat convention.

Let's say each time about one or two bowler hat wearers come by because they like the tea that's served at the event. No point in setting up guards, it's free event after all, it's easier to simply ignore them.

Now let's say more bowler hats begin to show up at the convention and the noumbers are reaching about a third of the participants, it's not longer possible to just ignore them.

Fuckers have their own conventions all year round in every major city in the country and yet they come to top hat convention nevertheless. Fuck your bowler hats, what about top hat convention you don't understand? If you want to be at a fucking top hat convention bring a fucking top hat. If you don't like top hats but you love our tea so fucking much it's not like it's only served here, you can easily get it wherever.

>Never did that. No one has to do that to come here.

What's the point of you coming to a top hat convention if you don't give a shit about top hats?

>The community here is just coming into existance right now, no one knows how it will become.

We're at christian discussion corner at a top hat convention. It's a fresh corner and it's specific intricacies are not yet crystallized but it's still a top hat convention.

>So it is not changing a community

It is for fuck's sake.

>but making a new one where everyone is welcome.

As long as they bring their top hats then… maybe? Just because the event is free for all doesn't mean that the regular participants have to be welcoming towards all manner of faggotry.

>>1736

>You disagree with the basic principle of anonymity

How do you figure that?

Am I not still anonymous?

If not, please tell me my name, address, date of birth, and hair color?

>>1739

Wow. You totally don't get it, do you.

Behold, Austrodesu, this is the poster you're encouraging by your tripfaggotry.

>>1744

>we have different points of view, simple as that

Different points of view about what hat you should wear at top hat convention.

I'll just ask here, not worth an own thread.

What boards do you browse beside /christ/ ?

When did you first hear of us/ how first come here?

Why did you stay?
