Hey, Dorkly. You're the BO of /m/, right? I had a look through the board log and you seem to be the only person listed there. (Aside from globals, but they appear on most of the boards in the top 100)
So I'm wondering: why does the board have a three image limit instead of a five image limit?

that was how the guy who ran this before me had it set. I can swap it to five if you want.

Well? What do y'all think?
this seems like something to put up to everybody for discussion
What's your preference for moderation on this stuff? Let a thread fizzle out into stuff and just start a new one? Delete the posts that are going off-topic?
I'm open to what the group thinks.
No.11046
I'd argue on board this slow, it's kind of important. On fast board, shit posting really doesn't matter, since it's drowned out by real discussion. On a slowboard like this, you run the risk of shitposting making up the majority of the posts.
I think a slower board is better suited to tightnit discussion.
That said, maybe it's best just to let people filter, or just ignore shit they don't like.
No.11047

Like I intimated in >>11046
I'm for people just ignoring those they deem trolls. Though if you do go that route, you may consider turning IDs back on. I know people hated them, but if I recall correctly one of the arguments against them is that /m/ was a slowboard with no shit posting. If people want to shitpost without consequence, might as well just add the tool that for people don't want to shit post. Going semi-psuedo anon, at leasts prevents the

But it does raise the question, why can't the guy raging about pilot suits hide the thread? He's clearly trying to back seat mod, going

Nice numbers.
People usually call 4chan "halfchan" or "cuckchan" here, I prefer "halfchan" because the term has been around longer and makes more sense.

>Who cares? Let threads get derailed
Just because you don't care doesn't mean other people don't/
If somebody is imagedumping and another user starts screaming about the art they're posting that's outright shitposting. If you shitpost so hard that you derail threads then you shouldn't be allowed to post at all.

Just a warning for you guys
Josh (an 8chan dev) said that he imported every post and image on 8ch, and that every post made after the site was imported will be lost.
So whenever InfinityNext goes live, expect a bunch of posts to disappear.

Hey Dorkly, could you increase the bump limit a bit? From 300 posts to 500 or so. There's no reason for it to be so low.
Don't increase it to 600 or 700, though. Threads stop working correctly when they get that many posts.

I'd say go for global or both.
When I check "last 25 posts" it's pretty noticeable if somebody posted it so board-only isn't that productive.
