For once in quite some time, the board IP count has decreased for reasons unrelated to my moderation (I haven't been on much lately). I suspect it's effortposters going back to school.
Since the post rate is slow, it should be easier for volunteers and myself to deal with a lowered character requirement, and I'm considering lowering it.
What do people think? Volunteers' opinions? Would you like the char requirement lower, and to what level?
I don't think I'll remove it completely.
Char count
Even with 100 characters the quality here is garbage. You should up it to 500 and turn this place into Marx 2.0 and weed out all of the low-effort LARP cancer. Also, remove the Nazi flag
Well it seems to me that either chans are dying or it's just the time of the year.
No strong opinions either way, just nothing absurdly low please
Effortposters have to deal with university classes, what a surprise
Don't.
And add proper gold-on-red hammer&sickle for ML.
character requirement is retarded
This place just isn't nearly as good as it used to be and that's probably why people have lost interest. Quality of discussion is way down and I suspect it does have something to do with moderation. People getting tired of what they feel are undeserved bans for saying Russia is imperialist or something.
I don't really have an opinion on the character requirement.
character requirement should be about the posts character, not characters used to stretch it
I expect everything to pick up more if some really retarded shit happens in world affairs.
No, not really. I don't want the place to be too super serious and Marx 2.0 and have it higher, however. I like it where it is.
Probably just that time of year.
Yeah, I kind of agree somewhat. We're a target for shitposting so that's partially it.
This is just a partially related question for anyone reading this: do you think we should bumplock more threads or just straight up delete them?
