>Not cancerous growth
You need ANY growth, if you want to moral police you do it AFTER growth period, NOT before
>Look at any single one /tech/ with no moderation and see what happens. This isn't irl, there is no mechanism for posters to defend themselves.
are you fuking certain of what your writing here
irl criminals can always get funs (black market, connections) and for civilians it's law-dependent (ironically limited)
here you have proxies, real proxies if you know where to look, fucking opera browser offers vpns at the click of a button, google yields lists of free proxies to use and compared to sites like pissu where he just went and banned like 90% of the free ones alongside tor nodes this is pretty much free reign for the dedicated shitposters
then you waltz in on a tech board no less saying "we can't defend ourselves using TECHNOLOGY"
why are you even here if you can't find a way that obviously exists
>How many serious shitposter do you need to win against a python script or a well-funded team of (((Apple))) shill?
former is spam and falls under global rule of delet
apple shills are blown the fuck out by FACTS AND LOGIC (pricepoint comparisons) and then rapid fire shitposting of soy faces wielding mac gear
same goes for all razer-like products, xbone SSS released a fridge version of their console recently go for it apple copy THAT

>If you are so sure of your 1337 shitposting skillz, why haven't you fixed 4/g/?
first off, not going to cuck/g/ under any circumstances
second off, this board's population is within tens or (very, VERY maybe) hundreds of users, I can have most of you read my posts while on 4/g/ it would take far more posts to reach most of them
>If no banning is needed, you don't need cooperation from mods. Where is your shitposting team? There is plenty of chaos in 4/g/ as well, where is good order?
cuckchan can eat lead
>Again, you project your own view as if a big group of talented posted are leaving.
I see fags on nano doing their own thing rather successfully
I see cuck/g/ full of cancer
I see fucking discord with thousands of users and you don't have shit
success has clear criteria this board fails to meet
>You missed all the other alt /tech/ and /g/.
eh, which ones, ones on 8kunt? if some were drowning in shitposters and others refused to laugh at them using a hundred proxies, that's their fault regardless
>Common misconception. This board does not die if it doesn't expand. It does when it is full of trash.
what a way of thinking
good boards were always full of trash, 4/g/ was full of it, 8/tech/ was full of it, you had to filter through garbage to find good nuggets of wisdom
but that wisdom was there because there very many people were around and by chance, by PURE CHANCE this anon happened to know his shit and was there because the board was worth sorting through and now you have a good post
you take away hundreds of people and there's opportunities for circlejerking, infighting, clear attack vectors, et cetera, you take away the people from a proverbial market and it becomes a small gathering, vulnerable to many, many things
and it is far from easy to GAIN the people, SUSTAINING the numbers is a far less difficult task
>Like many open source projects, they don't die even SJW and their simps are banned from the project. It only dies when it is subverted.
subversion starts from places of command, does the BO want to crusade for trans rights? or wants to use lighter language? is site owner sympathetic? no? no on both fronts, fucko, you're good
you worry about these things only on reaction and against pulling internal SJW takeovers, use harsh methods then and only then, no sense in fucking over the growth period, absolutely none
>What about tens of other dead boards with no moderation? Moderation or the lack of it is not what decide traffic.
when mods and BOs abandon their boards and refuse to support them (direct, shill, POST, etc) no one feels the need to stick around for obvious reasons - there may be better pastures elsewhere, after all
>see another flame war
>it is just another /g/
>Why this board? Because there is ep1c war against shill bots? Because retard questions are welcomed along with their nigger questions?
if you do not keep establishing ebin moral superiority above
>applefags
>programmer socks users
>diversity hires
>java coders
>indians
>atheism+
>code of conduct users
EVERY TIME (or just MOST of them there's no need to be that good) they try to thoughtlessly claim their position is moral and just and just say le heh lurk more, it's gonna end up a closed off circlejerk
thus the way forward is through constant posting and knowing your shit, you cannot reach the PEAK JUST AND RIGHT, you have to actually argue with these cunts or it ends up really fucking terrible
imagine a room of five high profile academics trying to discuss non-euclidean geometry and whether it's even possible to have real life applications of it only to stumble upon themselves and say stupid shit even with their homework done before the sit-down just because current status quo is "deny everything that has no proof" so it's impossible for them to even entertain the thought of such things
that would be close to what would be, you'll have reached "I know what X is, it's retarded and I can make them leave", but arguing and complicated things would be out of reach
>Aren't you going to scare the shills away with your l33t shitposts?
>Go on, make a board somewhere and advertise. Show me how much a not-rulecuck you are.
it's already on this site and while I'm not pointing fingers to it, it's obvious enough what it is
though I just mod it it isn't really mine
it's important to note here that while it was not required to even GIVE you that piece of information, you still have it because you're not someone that's a fucking idiot, just a little bit wrong, so I know what I'm talking about
there is one requirement for big and small boards alike, and that is THEY MUST HAVE STRENGTH AND THEIR USERS MUST HAVE STRENGTH
you can know what's right and what's wrong, but if you can't defend that, it's just a thought man don't interfere don't judge, stay on the sidelines and let the big boys play go somewhere else with that mayne~~~
but once you can defend your theory and apply reasonable force, the other guy has to use something or fucking walk, banning works as a temporary measure to stop the spread of retardation but does nothing for the rest of the anons, they'll be monkey see monkey do
arguing is where lurkers get the "holy shit this guy is wrong I'm gonna lurk" instead of "holy shit this guy got banned" and is thus better for long term, arguing takes a certain kind of strength and inspires others to know what's what, shitposting is fun, enjoyable and can be done in parallel
ideally I wouldn't even have to say that, it's kind of like explaining the joke, completely explaining a murder mystery in a middle of the story or teaching a magic trick, so fuck you you're note alexander
