I'd prefer that you refrain from advertising on Tumblr, please just keep it on 8chan.

Aww thats so nice.
I'm an average person with strengths and weaknesses. Sadly, I dont have many friends, partially because my interests which led me to make questionable life choices that made me become who I am today. The way I deal with life made the passionate, inspired and righteously good person think I am. Today I look back at my old times at school and I miss the good and bad moments I had with friends.
Truth be told, its also because depression, but rather than getting sad over the same things every day, I'd love to make a change for the better, to improve my social skills and to help everyone around me to feel better.
I program, I read, I cook, I dislike violence and crowded places. I'd love making friends.

I wouldn't call it trolling, but I agree that it's a non-point. Following that logic, anything can be allowed on any board, so long as everyone hides whatever they don't like.
So yeah. "Just hide it if you don't like it" is off topic, this is a discussion about allowing this content or not, on the board.
My take on it is: I'd love to allow for any kind of discussion, but the fact of the matter is that the moment a political discussion pops up, you get /pol/ posters pointing fingers at /leftypol/ and the other way around, and both doing so without any real justification.
The IDEAL solution would be to get both sides to be more reasonable, but since that is impossible, I suppose I'd be in favor of allowing the staff to delete "bait" political threads, as long as that's justified. Whether it's justified or not is left at the discretion of the staff and the community, through reports.

This very sticky cleary says
>Any topic can be discussed here, just use common sense.
If you start selectively deleting certain threads even though they don't violate the given rules, users will (rightfully) question the impartiality of the moderation. If anything, you'd have to make a general rule like "no political threads", although I'd still be strongly against it, as it'd narrow the possible discussion and drive away posters.
I also find it amusing how many people here cannot into self-moderation and beg the hotpockets to protect their personal feelings. It's like you came straight out of some heavily regulated hugbox like reddit and you're on an imageboard for the first time in your life. You know there are literally thousands of alternative sites with strict rules and tight moderation, right? Why don't you go there if you hate freedom so much? Don't bring that kind of mindset here please.
There are many threads I'm not interested in either, but guess what? I just ignore them; it takes me literally ten seconds to decide if I don't like a thread and to scroll past it.

There are hundreds upon hundreds of websites which are just like that. Why do you have to drag one of the few places devoted to free speech and open discussion into that dirt? I literally can't comprehend it anymore; why do you even post here?
I left halfchan and came here precisely because I wanted to escape rulecuckery and ban-happy hotpockets, not to replicate that place. Why do you want to turn this place into another halfchan or reddit?
>Why do you people only serve to stir shit up?
I didn't stir anything. People asked the BO to delete threads they dislike, I responded by saying I'm not ok with that. Nothing more and nothing less. So not conforming to your personal hugbox is "stirring shit up", now?
>You tried killing /pol/
Top kek, /pol/ is truly such a great place now that it's essentially /stormfront/. Freedom of speech was intvented by the jooooos.

As I see it, one of the core aspects of chan culture is that every board is essentially (or ideally) /b/ with a specific theme. Old /pol/ was a politically themed random board, /int/ or /intl/ are internationally themed random boards.
You don't come here to have regulated serious discussions; there are other sites for that. You come here to have fun, and talk with people who share your interests. That's how unique board cultures come to be and creativity is strengthened.

Topics that don't belong here don't need to be discussed here at all. Sort of like the BO already making porn against the rules.
>I mean, ultimately it's up to BO-chan how he wants to run /kind/. But I seriously hope he remembers the purpose and origin of this site as a whole.
We get it, 4chan sucks. Not every board on 8ch has to give the symbolic middle-finger to 4chan and allow all discussion on every board and force users to just hide threads they don't like, and board owners that want to enforce rules aren't wrong at all for doing so.
>It sure is tumblr in here…
This is a board called /kind/, and all you're being is rude. For the record, I don't even like tumblr, and I don't use reddit either. I cannot stand the layout of either site.

Chan culture is dead. It died with 4chan. Let it rest in peace, okay? It's also "chan culture" that MLP is banned everywhere on the site other than its containment board, but you don't see 8/v/ really enforcing that rule much, do you?
>You don't come here to have regulated serious discussions; there are other sites for that.

Why do people think moderation is censorship?
It's clearly not. Censorship is when someone prevents you from publishing your views. Simply refusing to publish others' views is not censorship – you can still publish it elsewhere.
8chan is not devoted to anything, the only global rule is that you can't post illegal stuff, everything else is up to the board owners, they can do whatever they wish. The only purpose of 8chan is to enable board owners to manage their boards in any way they wish.
Friendly reminder that 8chan wasn't made for the exodus. For a while they even banned boards with 'loli' in the name!
If you don't like that this board is not about hatred, I suggest you try to find a board where you can post about how you hate everyone who is a little bit different or if you can't find any, you can always create a new one.

Again, he's just asking for a specific kind of topic to get deleted. I mean, if you want to ban "race discussion" because it "disrupts the board", what's your excuse for not banning other things as well? There are hundreds of topics which could potentially "disrupt" the board.
This has to be either an open board where everything can be discussed as long as you're friendly and polite, or it's a regulated board that's pushed in a certain direction.
Discussing this is somewhat pointless anyway, as the decision is the BO's, ultimately. He should either decide it according to his own inclination, or hold a strawpoll or something.
>/int/ shitposter
Ebin buzzword.
>And this is the only board on 8ch that is dedicated to being kind and helping people
Yeah, so? The rule still says anything can be discussed. And I believe that's in no small part the reason this board grew so much in the first place.
>They want to talk about politically incorrect things, not who their favorite 2hu is.
Sure, because they're largely from stormfront and reddit.
>You're mad they got new leadership that enforces the board culture.

This is just getting more hilarious with each post.
So you want users to conform to your idea of how the board should be ran in order to not "force" them to hide threads? Brilliant.
>This is a board called /kind/
Which doesn't mean that different ideas shouldn't be able to coexist peacefully, or that opinions should be censored.
>and all you're being is rude.

>Chan culture is dead.
Then this site might as well not exist at all, and we can all go post on reddit.
>and discussions that are better for other boards should go there
Again, unless you're the BO this is not up to you to decide. I don't think discussion should be limited in any way, especially since there isn't even a significant number of threads of such a nature right now, so I don't see your problem. All you'd achieve is making your userbase smaller.

I don't think that in general, although I do believe moderation should always be as hands-off as possible.
Users ITT did ask for specific topics to be censored though.
>everything else is up to the board owners, they can do whatever they wish.
Sure, but with every board that turns into a halfchan/reddit clone, the site as a whole moves further away from what it could or should be.
>If you don't like that this board is not about hatred
Where did I say anything like that? How many "gas the kikes race war now" threads do you see in the catalog?
Again, I see no reason for anything to be deleted as long as it doesn't violate the rules.
I mean, what the hell is wrong with political discussion as long as its kept polite? I could see your point if the board got flooded with such threads in a way that its culture gets diluted or turned into another /pol/, but nothing like that is the case.

>Then this site might as well not exist at all, and we can all go post on reddit.
Reddit sucks. If you don't like that users of some boards want to have rules, don't use the board. After all "there are thousands of other boards on 8ch for you to use"
>Again, unless you're the BO this is not up to you to decide.
It's pretty clear that it's his decision and I'm trying to help make it clear which is the right one for this board.
>I don't think discussion should be limited in any way
Cool opinion, so you think the rule about no bullying should go too?
>All you'd achieve is making your userbase smaller

That would be ideal, but you know, teenagers. Structure is better than free-for-all, at least on this website, from my experience with 8ch this last year.
>Sure, but with every board that turns into a halfchan/reddit clone
That doesn't really apply to this board, does it? 4chan doesn't have any sort of board like this, and since I'm unfamiliar with reddit, I couldn't tell you if they do or not.
>the site as a whole moves further away from what it could or should be.
The site is what it is. It's an imageboard service. Nothing more, nothing less.
>Again, I see no reason for anything to be deleted as long as it doesn't violate the rules.
And rules cannot be amended, they are absolute from the moment the board is conceived, correct? Whatever the board owner decided to make the rules when he created the board are the rules forever, set in stone. Right? Oh but some of those rules "limit discussion" already, so should those rules go?
>I mean, what the hell is wrong with political discussion as long as its kept polite?
There can be no "polite" political discussion, because that would mean everybody agrees with each other, or be acting fake. It's probably better to just not have political threads. Otherwise you'll just get a thread like "Why aren't you a libertarian yet?" with a bunch of people saging and beating around the bush basically telling the OP to fuck off, but in a polite way.

Board atmosphere is very important. If people see things that upset them on /kind/, they are much less likely to be nice. This board is for kindness, not thorough discussions of moral and ethical issues.

From what I can see:
- One side wants to stop seeing race arguments all over /kind/. I think no one likes /pol/ - /leftypol/ fingerpointing, shill-calling, shitposting, etc
- The other side cares about keeping the board relatively moderation free. Banning one kind of conversation sets a precedent for future community complaints that could lead to further content deletion.
Both sides have a point here. We want the board to remain a fun space for everyone, but we also want it to remain a place for open-minded discussion. So here's a proposal, keep in mind this is *my* proposal as a poster, this is nothing official in any way.
We don't ban people for making comments, or threads on politically sensitive topics. Neither do we delete said threads. However if a thread heads that way, we just autosage it.
That way whoever wants to debate in there gets to debate about race and nationalism and whatever they want and everyone else can be okay with it.
About posters who are genuinely trying to start flame wars, (which so far, I have to be honest, looking at posting history of people who have been accused of that, there are almost none): If the staff ever has sufficient proof that someone is just on /kind/ to stir shit up, they will get warned, and then banned if they keep doing it, as has ALWAYS been our philosophy with those kinds of people anyway.

You're the one who said "it's a start", don't talk about your only suggestion.
Banning an entire subject just because it causes heated discussions isn't really a smart move.
And yes, what world do you live in where people don't feel uncomfortable for things outside their control? Being homosexual isn't the only thing you're born with. Someone can feel uncomofrtable with being [race] and /kind/ is there to say him that it's ok to be who you are. I don't see a reason to ban this venue of discussion simply because some people are acting assholeish about it.

At this point I think I'll have to deal with these political threads on a case-by-case basis. If any thread doesn't conform to the lighthearted atmosphere of this board it will be auto-saged for unspecified amount of time or until it 404s. Duplicate threads will be locked and the OP will be reminded to use the catalog and linked to the first of the two threads.
>>4979
I'm apathetic towards politics, it has nothing to do with me not liking them, it has more to do with them turning into shit and conflicting with the lighthearted atmosphere of the board. But I will delete spam and those edgy "HAHA U GUISE ARE PUSSI KIL URSELF XD" threads. I'll also continue to ban spammers.

What's the point? No, really. The whole idea of bumplocking a thread is so it gets purged by the page 16 monster.
I'm not really much in favor of banning posters either, since banning really has no effect on people who will shitpost to their hearts content if they are determined enough, I'd rather the threads just get deleted.

Is painting over the "gas the kikes" graffiti on the wall of your house censorship? Obviously not.
Deleting posts from a message board is not censorship, you can post it somewhere else.
Censorship would be if the government made it illegal to post about the topic everywhere, i.e. you are not allowed to post about it even on a board you host yourself on your own hardware.
One is an obvious attack on our liberty while the other is the right of the medium's owner. There's a huge difference!

I think the board was doing fine so far. Why introduce more rules when its not even needed? It's literally just a bunch of people complaining about things they don't like.
>Cool opinion, so you think the rule about no bullying should go too?
Personally, I wouldn't enforce any rules beyond global rules at all. I'm fine with it as long as moderation does not overdo it though.
More rules aren't necessary though; there is literally no reason besides "muh feelings/stop liking what I don't like" to ban anything else.

It has the strict authoritarian moderation you seem to be yearning for.
>The site is what it is. It's an imageboard service.
And as such, dedicated to free speech. The more boards remember that, the better.
>Oh but some of those rules "limit discussion" already, so should those rules go?
As I said, I'm overall fine with how this board is ran so far. I'm just generally opposed to a certain vocal faction constantly pushing for stricter rules. The same shit happened on /pol/ a few months ago.
>because that would mean everybody agrees with each other
That's not what politeness means. Not being an echochamber =/= being impolite.
>It's probably better to just not have political threads.
Based on what? As I said, if the board's quality starts to deteriorate mods can still intervene and introduce new rules. But why push for rulecuckery while the board is completely fine? And again, where do you draw the line? Disagreements and disruptions can always happen, even without political discussion.

I think only posts that incite flaming and insults should be banned/prohibited.
but discussion should be open as long as it doesn't get too heated or verbal.
The earlier posts in this thread showed that people became more prone to using political labels and profanity directed at others, and I think those are the kinds of posts that should be avoided.
I think that being kind includes accepting others opinion and being open to discussion; a hugbox could be avoided and people can disagree.
I don't want discussion to be limited on the possibility that it becomes heated; I would prefer for it to stop when it does become heated, like earlier in the thread

Nobody would benefit from ID's.
ID's a shit. There's nothing wrong with samefriendging.
And if somebody wants to contribute further to the thread, it would be more encouraging if nobody knew it was him.
espeially on a board as non-fast as this
especially with threads about confessing your inner secrets.
It doesn't take a genius to realise how hurtful an ID system would be here, For example imagine if somebody tells something private that others might dislike, then makes an unrelated comment later on and gets judged (and maybe insulted) based on something unrelated that he confessed previously, do you think he will feel like posting more? It does happen every time for people used to anonymity on boards with ID's.
All of this for what? To catch a few ephemeral samefriends that out of loneliness reply to their own thread. The cons outweight the pros. There's no need to do this.

The fetish thread is a good example. I'm annoyed at not having an ID in that thread. I know what I posted. I'm not afraid of having my kinks being linked to my replies as I continue to post in that thread, because it won't leave that thread. Having an ID would not have stopped me, because it's contained to that thread. I don't believe IDs will attract more bullies. In fact, it would more likely be used to call out bullies (which would be unfair). I don't want to call out samefriends. IDs allow you to converse within a thread more easily, while still retaining anonymity as a whole.
I'll admit I am biased. I've been using ID boards for the last 7 or 8 months since coming to 8chan. It's possible I've grown too comfortable with it. I've never been attacked by someone following my ID. I even post in a cyclical thread with an ID. No one follows me and calls me out.

No. This board is relatively slow for being in the top25. We still have 11 day to 2 week old threads at the bottom of the catalog waiting to be 404'd and that's how it should be. There's also the issue of people bumping extremely old and dead threads that are dead for a reason.

When is it not needless? When is it OK to post with a name? I can't think of many situations where it would be important here, besides a thread OP replying in their own thread.
Removing names like "Curious Friend" seems a little overboard, but I guess the idea is to staunchly end anything that could lead to circlejerking.

When you are making OC such as drawfriendging, writefriendging, gamefriendging and stuff like that, it also needs to be relevant to the threads topic i.e not needless.

I'll just start from the beginning.
To me, namefriendging is trying to create a handle, an identity.
Using the namefield ironically for a single post is not trying to namefriend.
In these cases, i don't think they should be edited out because its not to build an identity.
My question:
If all uses of the namefield is prohibited, or will simply be edited out, why bother having it?
If it's for something actually needs an ID, a tripcode works better since it can't be copied.
Please no bully, no smug anime girl
I was just concerned that posts being edited for trivial things will make its validity questionable

Hello,
I am the board owner of the relatively newly claimed boards /happy/ and /roze/ and am wondering if /kind/ would like to be one of the first to join the board ring "United Boards of 8ch".
Right now, boards are loosely linked together. The idea is to have a ring of boards covering a range of topics for a range of different people. This ring would be something like a group, in which every board within the group would advertise everyone else. These owners would be given the chance to work together, as a team, or simply ask others for advice. This ring would also make our boards more united and secure, for there is strength in numbers.
This ring would not disallow anyone from promoting any other boards they want to promote, but they would show that they are a part of the ring and have a link to all of the participating boards.
Perhaps there would be a groupchat for all of the board owners and mods(?) to be able to communicate easily with each other and hang out.
If you want to contact me about becoming a member, please don't be shy.

>The goal of this board is to help others!

You are late.
Stop all kindness.
1. Selective, judgemental, structured, calculated charity only intensifies that harm which it thinks it relieves.
2. If you can't help everyone, help no one. Failing just one person in need invalidates all good that you have done to others. Because, what worth is all charity in the world to a person it has never reached? Not even nothing… but _much less_ than nothing. To that person, your charity to others is TFW all sorts of people get credit for helping others while they never help me.
3. Or continue helping your favourite victims, but don't call it "charity".
4. I am the voice of those failed by everybody. Let people die like they have let me die.
5. The fallacy of kindness: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_squeaky_wheel_gets_the_grease
6. The hypocrisy of kindness: http://english.alarabiya.net/en/variety/2015/08/22/Turkish-woman-who-feeds-35-Syrian-refugees-leaves-restaurant-without-paying.html
Pro-tip: How to pass as a kind person and score brownie points while acting selfishly? Consider robbing the poor to help the poor. You'll be a hero at a very low personal expense.
7. People approve of me only when I act against my best interest. Nobody wants to see me healthy and thriving.
8. I had to learn to be okay with it. Which makes me half-mad. Now, if I encounter an actual kind person, that person will have to fight me in order to help me. Who will want to do it?
9. I'm emotionally ill. I must not desire anything good because addiction to unobtainable things is deadly. I have waited for too long and I snapped. I will never heal because I'm too old. The society wilfully reduced me to a toxic byproduct of my former self at a time when I was still curable. Now I'm nothing but a burden. It's a matter of time before some vigilante sees fit to relieve the world of me.
10. Kindness is pointless because the mankind is genetically flawed. The mankind must be replaced. Now the world needs an opposite of /kind/.
11. My mind is undoing itself because all purpose has been taken away from me. Mind cannot operate without light… even a good, healthy mind. Mens sana in corpore sano. It was a very good mind. At this point, I can't take responsibility for my words in this post. Half of them is gibberish but I can't make them better. It's okay to fall now, I've been very strong.
12. Technically, I'm not mentally ill, it's just a healthy mind collapsing under a critical mass of ubiquitous passive-aggressive adversity rendering my life into an act of swimming in glue.
13. If I can't say something right, I could shut up, But shutting up won't help me to say it better.
14. How can you help someone who was learned to resent goodness?
15. Maybe it's natural. My health is gone, so the mind must follow. Agony is part of life, isn't it? I just was blessed with a very slow agony, so that I can partly control my demise. But do I really control it?
16. My only illness is really everyone's hostility. It's not age, nor virus, nor gene, nor drug. My demise is man-made, sociogenic.
17. I don't know how you could help me at this advanced psychological "cancer" stage.
18. If I don't press "Submit" now… I will never press it. Fuck coherent message. It's the best post I can make right now, so I might as well start to enjoy it.

Perhaps you don't understand the reason for that warning? Posting with images in that way creates an identity by making all of your posts more recognizable.

Please, use your own judgement, and try to remain anonymous.

No.21653
I enjoy anime pictures a lot, however
Anime after 1995 is really bad, unless high or drunk. Any sane person just skips 15 seconds forwards all the time when watching anime, there is just not enough content to watch this crap for 20 minute-long episode without skipping. You can watch any episode in 7 minutes, especially if you know Japanese and aren't retarded. It's because it's artificially extended to hit the 20 minutes. The anime is so simplified and focused on moe aspect that you could just read dialogue in txt file (open subs) and you'll not miss ANY context. You'll understand the plot just fine, because it's so standardized and simplified.
After years one becomes desentesized to shallow moe aspect and just skips it through because it's so dumb. Anime is the lowest point of human civilization, unless you're on some stimulants, then you forget 3d people even exist and when there's 8 second scene of a loop of character thinking, you get the impression it's the best thing then

Now and again I look in on this board because I like the idea of an imageboard where people actually behave civilly, yet I never much feel like posting. It's finally occurred to me why: when you enforce kindness it sort of loses its meaning. The trouble with "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" is that you can't really be sure how genuine the nice things are when any unkind things are censored with a veneer of kindness.
There is such a thing as an unkind truth, too– things which are important to hear but aren't altogether nice. You could argue that this is kind in its own way, but it still seems like it goes against the grain of the board.
