No.126
Hello, since the amount of active users on /econ/ has shot up a lot since I've started advertising it, I would like to get a general idea of the views of the users on this board.
1. Where do you stand economically and why? (Socialist, Anarchist, Monetarist, Keynesian, Austrian, etc.)
2. What kinds of /econ/ threads would like to see more of or enjoy the most? (debate threads, news threads, shitposting threads etc.)
3. What do you think sucks about the board right now, policy or post quality wise?
Also I was thinking of some policy changes and would like some feedback.
1. This board was intended for general economics discussion and was not made for more specific things like starting a business or how to get invested into stocks, resume advice, etc, like halfchan /biz/. I was wondering if it should be more inclusive to these things and act as 8chan's equivilant to /biz/ (since 8chan's /biz/ board has barely any users and is almost dead) or if I should just advertise 8chan's /biz/ board in the announcements.
2. Should I unsticky the Meta? I feel it clogs up space at the top and was thinking about just pasting the educational resources in a pastebin and linking them in the announcements section.
No.129
Uneducated socialist.
Debate, news and shitposting are all part of the nature of a chan board, whilst we can't have an excess of shitposting to the extent it destroys the others we should have all three to some extent.
I think it just needs more people. Im not good at finding articles and stuff to start threads with so all i can really do is lurk and reply.
I don't know about that last thing.
No.144
Anarchist.
Theory threads.
I think it's too soon to tell. I just want to avoid /pol/-tier meme-style arguments.
Eh. If you do that now, it's going to become nothing but that.
I say leave it. A meta and resources sticky is always handy. Most boards I frequent have one too.
No.153
Not sure if this is helpful, but I think it would be good to provide a means of allowing uneducated new users to deepen their understanding of economics (the educational resources you put in the sticky are a great example of that). Beyond a basic concept of supply and demand I don't know much about economics but I'd like to learn more. Because of this, I don't think I'll be able to contribute anything beyond lurking, sorry. I hope your board succeeds.
