Old BO apparently went awol, but we did get a new janny that actually wants to talk anime and manga.
Off topic and troll posts will be deleted from now on.

Great news! Thanks anon.

Ah, I take it that's a no then?  Not actually sincere about removing the off-topic crap, but apparently you have no problem removing a harmless post that references it?  Or do you consider a post referencing off-topic crap to be "trolling" now?  You're sending mixed messages here.

>off-topic crap
What on earth are you talking about?

>>115812
The other fag was long overdue for a ban, and he only mentioned posts that were disagreeing with him.
Now you're trying to start something as well, so consider this a warning.

>>115813
Video games, Japanese politics, stream whores, etc. are not anime and manga.  This has been a problem with /animu/ for a long time, and it really kills motivation to come here and discuss anime and manga when you expect it's going to get lost in a sea of off-topic crap.

>>115815
What's the warning exactly?  You're going to start banning people for critiquing moderation?  "Starting something" is not the basis for a consistent rule.  If you don't want anons to engage in a particular behavior you should communicate it with a clear and consistently enforceable rule.  "No trolling" is just as bad and has led to rampant abuse on every image board since 2ch.

>DON'T RESIST, GOYIM!!
<why do they hate me so!?
Sounds a lot like kike doublethink to me. Just stay on top of the moderation, and it's a minor issue. Ignoring trolls, or avoiding the banhammer on them is what creates "rampant abuse", imo.

Wisdom in all things is the goal (if difficult to achieve...still it's the goal to strive towards).

Then talk about anime and ignore threads you aren't interested in. I don't like vtubers, so I don't go to the vtuber thread.

True, except for video games, as many of those are in fact trying to be anime and manga. If we had GTA discussions that'd be a different issue, but we don't.
Also, I'm not gonna nuke half a board right of the bat. Jap politics and vtumors will stay as fossils, unless they prove problematic. Right now they see zero engagement, so they're a non issue, unlike vtumor thread on something like smuglo.li's /a/.
>What's the warning exactly?  You're going to start banning people for critiquing moderation?  "Starting something" is not the basis for a consistent rule.
The basis is starting pointless drama (under the pretense of "critiquing moderation") which falls right under "off topic".
I can see what posts you made, and aside for 3 posts about schmups you seem very eager to engage in pointless arguments or just whine in general. You don't seem to be actually interested in talking about chinese cartoons. If you want a place to only complain about things, then find another imageboard. Or you can prove me wrong and make posts about jap cartoons you actually liked.

>I can see the posts you made...
1) No, you actually can't see all the posts I've made.
2) Your attempt to triangulate my posting habits and personality through information only you have amounts to hostility to anonymous posting and you should be very careful when you deploy this.  Most especially important to treat anonymity with respect on a small board with a dwindling user base.
3) As I stated, it's awfully demotivating every time I come here to try and talk animu and then have my attempts at conversation immediately buried by off-topic crap.  I'm sure there have been many tired posters who feel similarly.

Anywho, you'll notice every one of my posts in this thread has been both supportive of one aspect of moderation (topicality) and critical of another ("no trolling" and any other such vague, inconsistent rules that require you to read minds to know poster intent. In the entire history of image boards these have only ever functioned to entrench janny abuse).  You can apply dismissive labels to it if you like, but you started a thread about moderation and shouldn't be at all surprised if some of the responses are critical in nature.  The topic of this thread is clearly moderation and in context my posts have been topical and relevant.  If you have a problem with discussion of moderation being off-topic for the whole board, then start by nuking your own thread.  It's abundantly clear from this discussion that my problem is with topicality for the whole board, so please don't attempt any kind of lame appeal to hypocrisy on me.

>you have to like something to talk about it
Also, come on now.

>>115824
>every time I come here to try and talk animu
And no, by "here" I did not just mean trashchan, I did mean prohlikewhoa too.

I do feel like the further removed we became from 8ch, the more off-topic stuff started to crowd out animu discussion.  That's probably a function of general declining poster activity magnifying the off-topic stuff though.  Which arguably turns it into a nasty positive feedback loop.

How about this: based on what I see I assume you're a troll, or just an annoying nuisance in general that contributes nothing of value.
Prove me wrong or eat a short ban.

>thread got moved
Board Owner, is that you? You're back? You plan to stay?

BO here, changed the post limit to 510 from 550 since the bump limit is 500 already. 
>>115800
>Off topic and troll posts will be deleted from now on.
admittedly, my level of acceptance of this is quite high. Just don't go ape nuts, and don't end up deleting half the posts made like I did.

For future reference, the best way to contact me is via this thread (and I'll do better reading it). My email is just for this board and I rarely check it.

I don't think he's trolling. He isn't wrong about there not being much anime discussion at the moment, even though I don't agree with some of what he's saying. Especially in these rough times for the internet in general (unless you're getting your brain fried on Twitter or Discord), a lot of it is a matter of being patient and being willing to talk with other people about what they're into instead of only expecting responses for random things you post.
Reminds me, I gotta get back to Reconguista in G.
>>115832
Ay, welcome back man.

>>115831
>back
I never left, though I rarely log in since it's kind of a pain. Yes, I intend to stay. I trust myself the most when it comes to not letting the board be hijacked by fags.

>>115835
>I never left
You kinda did for a month though.
>Yes, I intend to stay. I trust myself the most when it comes to not letting the board be hijacked by fags.
Fair enough.
Though next time step in before there's a borderline civil war, lmao.

I see there's a working 'useful links' link working now. Congrats, /animu/ .

>>115839
Where, I can't see it.

>>115844
Nevermind, I'm retarded, I see it now.

Obvs, the size of the text could be a little larger IMHO.

It kinda camouflages itself.
And honestly I think a sticky, locked post with all these links would be better anyway. One less click and being always visible.

The announcement field does support post styling, so the BO could put the link in boldtext or redtext.
Speaking of text, >>115847, what's up with your font rendering?
