ADTRW has been boring, bland, self-hating over-moderated poo poo for the longest time. It's like Old GBS: boring rote threads for whatever is currently on the television, no humor, lots of complaining about other people's opinions like an even shittier Debate and Discussion but for children's cartoons.

Vote Vengarr for Moderator, I will allow ADTRW to grow like a forum bonsai tree: by carefully lopping off the shittiest posters while allowing the nubs to blossom into beautiful branches. I believe that a little shitposting is necessary to fertilize the great tree of discussion, so that we may enjoy the fruits of anime as free men. Thank you and god bless

li hope you get probated or banneds for this post

for real though if someone's obviously poo poo posting/derailing the conversation that's one thing but I think there's room for both 'Personally, I believe Madoka's ribbons are a metaphor for the economy. If you look in episode 3, timestamp 12:37, you can see that..." and 'my fav. anime is madoka because homura has cool hair'

i dont believe there is room for posts saying madoka is in any way a good anime and i want you to respect this

what is a quality post on this forum? i dont think just a bog standard regular discussion of an anime or some long rear end effort post is automatically quality. imo this forum has been dull as hell forever and the only thing people really seem to remember was some joke thread about anime tits

Considering how I don't think that 99% of anime don't have enough substance to write five-paragraph effortposts about, I am leaning more towards a new, GBS kind of ADTRW. I can scroll over at least 20 variations of "im gay" by the time it takes me to realise that the wall of text I have been reading is written by someone who is just an obsessed weaboo who hasn't actually watched/read anything that didn't come from Japan.

I hope the new mod is a real ikemen

same re both

also make a thread to talk about anime that arent currently running because its stupid to have one for every single show. sometimes i just want to constantly post about how good k-on is. i, however, dont make threads

a lot of the currently running anime shows don't even need threads tbh; like adtrw could just have "harem animes that only that one poster watches; i can't remember there name right now, but you know who i mean" thread instead of actually having a new thread for each anime filled with posts like"

"episode 1 was promising I'll give it a three episode trial"
"episode 3 was the onsen episode"
"its super amazing how everyone died in the last episode"

yeah but thats what the current season thread is for id say. just get rid of the "only up to episode 3" rule thing and when people want to make a seperate thread about a show, they can! but i think current and old should be seperated still

General chat threads were prohibited for two reasons: A. they promote clique-y behavior and B. we already have an IRC channel (#gattai on irc.synIRC.net) for general bullshit chat.

Of course, we're a pretty angry and bitter clique in #gattai and our ops rule with an iron fist. Come stop by and say hi.

This is perfectly reasonable and something we try to warn all prospective mods about, and why finding someone who will take the job can sometimes take some time.

thank you for mentioning this, i personally think being a moderator for this forum would be hell

but i guess it could be also pretty chill if you didnt take this serious at all, but lowtax makes money for this so idk

DrSunshine posted:

Well, there were all those shows about brother/sister incest, and a thread discussing the issues or problems surrounding fanservice. I think Zorak made a wise call on those.

But hey, whatever guys! I happen to like forums like D&D and CD and BFC, and I think that posts and topics like the ones there are interesting and fun to read. Maybe I'm too uncool to post in the new, hip, ironic ADTRW.

i agree that incest stuff is bad and should be laughed out or even banned, among other really weird topics, but theres also stuff that gets judged too harshly, like just recently the kancolle thread. the show only had one episode so far, but compared to animes that get discussed quite often like the mongatari series, which i find really dang weird and also features incest, its extremely tame (i am fully aware that the ships lose more clothing the more they get damaged, which also gets shown slightly in the anime, but thats something that is and should be completely ignorable to people who are already used to anime so far as long as they dont go overboard with it, which is not an intended ship pun). it deserves a chance imo but its also okay and understandable to not have a ver high opinion of it

i actually mean this as a real post
