They usually accept emoticons, so that's what I use

You'll note that my main point wasn't about your spelling. Feel free to call me an asshole, though! It is important to spell properly, especially in environments such as forums where you're encouraged to take a while to type your posts. It helps with readability as well as giving both the impression that you care about what you're typing, and that you're literate (useful when you want to show people your opinions have some amount of value).

You must understand that i come from a country where uncensored swearing, and full frontal, uncensored nudity, are everyday things on TV, just as much as swearing and dysphemisms are part of everyday, noninsulting language. With asshole, i meant someone. Sorry.

Would you like to address my original argument?

It kinda got stuck in that quote pyramid clusterfuck. I dont think moot is doing a recogniseable attempt at policing his site.
For me it just looks like a giant catastrophe.

Personally, I find that for an anonymous message board with several hundred posts a minute he does a fair job. At least there's not much child porn.

[Aklyon]

Theres only so much you can do for a heavily posted boards. Trying to do more than that causes problems one way or the other.

You'd have to have seen the before and after. He's doing a good job with the budget he's got.

The CP has dwindled noticeable. Still i've seen people doing thread crashes using Child Porn, even this month.
Child Porn is one thing, another is coordinating troll2death attacks and asking advice for suicide and animal abuse.
(And yes i do realise the circumstances that the kids are put under, abduction/shitty parents/sick uncle and all.)

 The poor girl shouldn't have been on /b/ to begin with, 4chan is an 18+ board to begin with but everyone seems to to ignore that rule anyway because it really isn't enforceable unless your completely retarded. Also, /b/ is a shithole in the purest sense of the word, I'm not even talking about the mannerisms of the userbase, but content wise, The only reason people go there now ,unless they are INCREDIBLY new, is to get off to something. You don't wander onto 4chan without knowing something about its history. I, for one, am surprised that /b/ could actually get there hands out of there collective pants for a second a do something of note. That doesn't excuse them in any way, but on that same note I really can't feel sympathy for someone who offs themselves over what a bunch of people on the internet say.
 
Also, M00t has been working to improve the sites UI and moderation in general. /b/ is universally agreed upon to be a lost cause, it only exists as a keepsake from the site's beginnings. 4chan can be a extremely wonderful site if you stay out of certain boards and act like you have a brain in your skull.

Most problems on the internet would be solved if we all followed the golden rule of "treat others like you would want to be treated".

[Aklyon]

Everyone who has even heard of 4chan knows /b/ is a lost cause.

Hell NOPE.

Terrible rule. If I can stab my lungs and be fine with it I shouldn't expect other people to go stabbing each other's lungs.

There's a much better version that I've heard, which is "If you wouldn't want it done to you or your grandmother, don't do it."

If you want a more realistic example of why that law is flawed, just look at the whole "glass houses" analogy. The saying goes, "don't throw rocks from glass houses," but this has the unfortunate implication that it's okay to throw rocks if you can take them in return. A sardonic asshole who doesn't care about being treated badly from others is going to look at your golden rule and laugh.

[kaijyuu]

Nor should someone who lives in a cement one.

They're both throwing rocks.

And yet some people murder their grandmothers.
