[Locked] Fakku isn't 4Chan or /b/

Pages 12Next
1
Last I checked, most people tend to complain about how 4Chan, mainly /b/, is made of fail. I don't know what exactly causes the fail there, probably all the trolling, pedophiles and idiots who are so easily fooled that they save viral type content to their computer and end up spamming up the place. Or maybe it's the underage children who spout memes like crazy to fit in and look cool, when... when it all comes down to it, you're anonymous and it won't have any amazing effect on you.

But that's not really the point of this thread, finding out why it's said to fail.

I'm mainly posting this thread as a method of addressing the "issue"1 of how many things from 4Chan have been carried into Fakku. I'll post examples in a spoiler/spoilers. If you've been to 4Chan (mainly /b/) enough, you should be able to easily take note of the "garbage" that's being brought here.

Pretty much what everybody said here.
1) Don't bring in 4chan
2) Don't spam posts/topics
3) Try not to go overboard with the being active
4) Don't overuse memes
5) Try to be nice
6) Post something with seriousness eventhou its meant to be silly
7) Trolling is retarded
8) Be yourself, don't mimic other members

Welcome new members btw. :D


Anyway, I don't quite know exactly what I'm aiming to accomplish with this thread. And since not many people have said much, it's probably not that big an issue. I mean, it's not like when there were protests/threads about banning FreeNadia or anything. This is something small, I guess. And for the most part, I don't really have a problem with it (after all, with some people, it can be pretty amusing).

I just want other's opinion on the matter. Discuss?

p.s. One of our members, ShaggyJebus has been on 4Chan for years I believe. Yet, unlike some people here (who go to 4chan), he doesn't post crap from that site. I guess that just goes to show that sometimes you need to know what's appropriate and what might not be. Also, if I quoted your post and you have a problem with it, PM me or leave a post and I'll delete it. Finally, In before 4chan Lmao.



1- "Issue" can be taken as a sign that something is negative. While the situation that I'm addressing may not be negative to you, it sorta is to me, though it's not driving me crazy.

2-"trash", like the above word, issue, can certainly be looked at negatively and it refers to the stuff brought from 4Chan and dropped on Fakku.

3- Though the person who posted that quote made a misogynistic post, something that you see on 4chan, I chose not to post his name because of respect for him.. Plus, I believe he wasn't all that serious. But either way, I suppose it shouldn't be. But whatever.

If people want to post that crap, they should do so in IB - I don't think anywhere where posts count should consider memes as a valuable contribution. I also think that anywhere else, anything offensive in that vein should be taken seriously, even if someone knows it wasn't meant to be; with IB you kind of know what you're getting, but out of that jesting context people have mistakenly taken things to heart.

And of course, I don't think everyone deserves to be universally subjected to the stuff regardless.

I've noticed some people were referred here from 4chan. Plus, this is the internet, people don't give a shit about being racist and shit.

I've learned not to care. The internet is supposed to be a freeing place where you can talk about anything. I just choose to ignore all of the 4chan-esque responses, but I think they are well in their right to act that way if they so choose.

I was never active, but I've been on 4chan for years and I've seen it all, and none of it bothers me that much. It is just what this generation is up to. Give it a few years and no one will remember it and those who act like that will be ostracised.

The nigger thing really should be censored down a bit. I'm not afraid of the word, but it's a sensitive word for a lot of other people.

Like G-money said, whether it's a joke or not, a lot of people get offensive about it. And the last thing we need is for Fakku to get in trouble some how.

I remember that post with the women and kitchen ;p he was kidding. Hell I didn't even get offended. Though I'm used to hanging around guys and those kind of jokes I can roll with because I know they're light hearted.

Good! I'm not mentioned in those posts.

First off you can't expect a certain level of maturity here being a forum of a porn site. I love it here but the fact remains this is a porn site, porn sites don't scream serious business.

I think mods should be stricter though. We have a forum for spamming (4chan~like behavoir) I feel people should just keep it in there.

Anyway, yeah, I first visited 4chan years ago. I don't visit much anymore, partly because instead of funny conversations and topics, it's just anger and stupid shit passed off as humor.

The stuff that's said on 4chan (specifically, /b/) is funny in its own pocket universe. Being racist on /b/ is alright; it's accepted there, because nothing is serious on /b/. If you say something on /b/ and expect it to be taken as fact, then you're an idiot. So, if you take something that's funny on /b/ and say it somewhere else, people may think you're serious, and it can look very bad. Even if it's a place where jokes are often made, the kind of humor found on 4chan often should stay on 4chan. It's similar to how I can act like a pedophile around my friends, and we'll all laugh, but if I do it in a classroom, trying to get people to laugh, it probably won't fly. My friends know that I'm not a pedophile; my classmates don't. My friends laugh; my classmates don't.

@lollollol12: is that stupidity I see?

@HentaiElder: +rep you when I get the chance. (I never forget my reppings) I've personally never been on 4chan except for the rapidshares section (rs.4chan.org), but I have a very strong incentive not to. 4chan has an administrative staff from what I can tell, but they're so freakin lax and there's too many things that goes on in 4chan for complete 24/7 monitoring. It's also full of bullshit and fail that you wouldn't find at FAKKU! where most users and the admin staff don't take shit from others. (me for example)

Honestly, people who join FAKKU! forums have to understand that this isn't a community to post your crap to be cool. We're here because we like hentai and many other things and discuss things in a civil manner where everyone can participate and have a good debate. You wanna bring 4chan here, then get the fuck out, because we don't take shit like that.

On a less defensive stance, I think that it isn't quite the problem aside from the rise of trolls, spammers, and -reppers. (Yes, I have seen cases of unjustified -reppings...) 4chan users often stick to themselves, and I think many users can tell that there is a huge fundamental difference between FAKKU! and 4chan, and usually new users learn the ropes. Still, joking can only go so far, and FAKKU! rules state that no offensive/racist/sexist posts should be made. While I don't view 4chan-going-into-FAKKU! as much of a problem, I do think users should be more aware that this is a regular forum that is in no shape way or form like 4chan and that they get used to rules and moderating from the administrative staff.

Lax doesn't even begin to describe the attitude of 4chan. Not until the site was actually under FBI investigation for the linking of child pornography did the staff begin to actually censor what goes through that site.

I guess it does depend on the content. Silly 4chan memes and things don't bug me, but the racist comments are going too far. People seem to misunderstand what Freedom of Speech actually means because I've heard that defense used on countless occasions when it doesn't even apply. -_-

Don't really know what you’re trying to get across with this thread. Maybe that you don't want Fakku to become 4Chan? I don't want that either I guess it’s possible, but is there really a need to worry about it? The reason 4Chan feel apart is lack monitoring and bad admids. Fakku has great mods and admids so there’s not much to worry about.

As for the use of racial slurs it’s the internet so it’s not avoidable. While some people will avoid hurting people’s feelings some won’t. Oh about not allowing those words would be censorship and that’s bad. People should stop themselves from saying racial slurs to avoid hurting people not because they are told not to.

Hey, I'm there and I don't even post on 4chan! Seriously, those were obviously jokes. Anyone who takes what is obviously a joke seriously is stupid. Also, the only reason people complain about 4chan is due to there preconceived notions. 4chan has produced a fair amount of funny things (memes included) that everyone thinks are stupid, simply because they came from places like /b/. I mean, it's not like we constantly have threads asking for CP or some form of "roll" game or Xfags, post here, so why are you complaining? Also, lollollol12 doesn't even act like he's from /b/. Typing in ALL CAPS doesn't mean he's from /b/. I guarantee you, if you go on /b/ right now very few people will be posting in ALL CAPS. Also, I only post memes in troll threads or when the posting of said meme results in hilarity.

Since I asked for your opinions, despite who you are, I will be responding to all posts. If I miss yours, just let me know (though likely, I'll check back and get to it myself. Especially if you posted a few seconds before i finished a post).

Thanks for your opinion. And while that sounds like a good idea, what if people do start to post their crap in IB? Lol IB will be like /b/ and Fakku like 4chan. Sooner or later our /b/ (IB) will creep into other sections (like it does with 4Chan).

But oh well, people do have freedom of speech. So.. can't complain all that much.

Lmao, yeah that was funny. I actually think I commented on how funny it was. And as Ziggy pointed out, despite being a female, she didn't get offended. I figured it wasn't all that bad. That's why I censored the name. Haha.

Yeah, I don't care all that much either. But obviously, I did, enough to make a thread. And like you said, ignoring is an option. I suppose I should do that.

And like you said, eventually it may die out. But the human race.. never seems to have stability. We'll probably always have some form of inequality and discrimination (whether it's based on gender, race, or age sects).

So I kinda doubt that.. actually...

Yes it should. And so should any derogatory terms toward any race. Unfortunately people really only care when they or their loved ones are targeted. If it's not you being insulted then all is fine.. but when it is, only then do people react.

And haha, it's good that you have enough of a sense of humor.. to not get pissed with the jokes about women. Lol, I don't take em seriously either.

And... actually, I can and do expect maturity from the site. I've seen it, that's why I posted this thread. If I posted something like this on 4chan, or any serious issue, it'd be trolled (the thread) and I'd be flamed. Here on Fakku, things are different... so I try to express myself and receive intelligent replies. And I don't blame the mods for anything, they do try. And I don't have too much of a problem. I just.. think it should be taken note of. Perhaps warnings should be given out.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. And you realize that, which is a main reason that I mentioned you. You're pretty much what my opinion of the ideal 4Chan member/browser of /b/, should be. You realize that there is a time and place for everything. Unfortunately most people don't. I guess that's because of their level of maturity.

Haha, maybe that's what it has to do with... maturity. Chances are, the people who bring in most of this crap aren't all that mature, lollollol12.

Anyway, I really appreciate your post Shaggy and I'm glad that you're mature enough to know where things are and aren't appropriate. I suppose, it doesn't matter if others don't really understand that concept though. Because at least I know there are some people, like yourself, who do know that there are time and places for everything and that some things are and aren't appropriate or accepted depending on who you're dealing with.,

Surely, Fakku can accept 4Chan material. But perhaps we need a filter.

Well thanks, g-money. And yes, that's the problem with 4Chan. A lack of moderation allows for too much crap to go around, though every now and then, some things are brought under control. Maybe that's the reason 4Chan (mainly /b/) fails. There's not enough mods and nobody can keep the place in check that way. And as you pointed out, here on Fakku, things are different. And I totally understand what you mean with what you said about the mods. Hell, if it was up to me, you'd be a mod yourself. Because you display an understanding of the rules and as you said, "most users and the admin staff don't take shit from others. (me for example). I'm sure you wouldn't.

That is why I come here, exactly why. It's civilized and we can certainly have good discussions. And despite some things that get out of hand, and some derailment, eventually it's put under control. There's order here. /b/ is full of Chaos. My main idea, I suppose.. is making sure that Fakku doesn't become the same. Though.. all that traffic on the site probably would help Fakku.

Yeah, and that's, again, one of my main ideas/goals. People should just know that there's a difference between FAKKU!'s forum and 4Chan. As you pointed out, the new users usually learn the ropes and are fine. There are some users though, who have been here for a while, yet still post /b/-related material (the crap). I guess that's why I post here.

Anyway, luckily, we do have rules and moderation.. so things are pretty well. And things aren't out of control, so I'm happy with that. But yeah, I just wanted to see what others though. Thank you G-money, for your posts. Haha, it's nice to have you here on Fakku

Yeah. Haha. And I know people should have freedom to say certain things, but after a while it gets outta control. Unfortunately though, when freedom of speech comes up, things tend to become very debatable and such. Haha, so I tried to avoid mentioning it.

But yeah, that's main thing that people have on their side, their ability to say what they want. Sometimes though, you should really think about what you're saying.

You're right Gin. That was the topic, Fakku becoming like 4Chan and people treating it like 4Chan. But yeah, luckily we do have good mods which g-money covered earlier in the thread.

And yeah, you're right. Nobody wants censorship and there's the whole freedom of speech thing. So that's something that can't really be stopped... People have to stop it themselves.. but.. most people aren't willing to do so. And most people, on the internet, will continue to say things, if it's what they wish to do. As you said, "People should avoid stop themselves from saying racial slurs to avoid hurting people not because they are told not to." If people do that here on Fakku, with racism and misogyny, things should be fine. They are fine now, actually.. but yeah.

I'll address most of your sentences.. since I don't quite know how to respond.. to your post.. other than doing so.


1. you don't? That's a surprise.
2. I know they're jokes. But did you read the post g-money made about jokes?
3. Maybe that makes me stupid. You sound offended though, don't be. I meant no harm.
4. I don't have preconceived notions about 4Chan. I never did. I stumbled onto the site and everything that I know about it is because of experience. (9-11 months of lurking).
5. Yes, 4Chan has some good things. I love /wg/. I have over 100 MB of walls that came from there.
6. If you don't know why i posted this thread, read all that i typed in this post. Maybe then you'll know. Or read the first post again. No offense.
7&8. Did i say he did? And ah fuck it

I'm defending myself against you. You seem to be in full support of /b/ and 4chan. Listen man, I have nothing against the site. IT just has certain negative aspects that I don't want on Fakku. Don't take it personal. Nothing that I say is meant to hurt people..



LONGEST POST EVAR. Lmao.. that took a while.

Let's go out on a limb and say 5% of what /b/ produces is actually funny outside of /b/. Is it really a big deal then if that 5% manages to find it's way to the IB section? I don't think so, it's funny, so what's the problem?

The problem is the other 95% of crap that spews forth from 4chan's bowels. The whole n-word overuse, the misogyny, the pointless memes and so on. What a lot of people do when they're posting something offensive is think "Oh it's a joke, everyone will laugh and no one's gonna care." Without giving any thought to that one person who DOESN'T think it's a joke, and DOES care. There's nothing stopping people from posting their garbage, it's a free country as they say. But just because you can doesn't make it alright. People need to learn that manners and common sense should be in use online just as much as they are off.

Without giving any thought to that one person who DOESN'T think it's a joke, and DOES care. There's nothing stopping people from posting their garbage, it's a free country as they say. But just because you can doesn't make it alright. People need to learn that manners and common sense should be in use online just as much as they are off.


You got that right. Netiquette is just as important as etiquette in real life, and trust me, I've become a lot more conscious when I write e-mails to other people because it conveys a sense of who you are as a person. It even becomes more important in the work place. And seriously, doesn't mean you can say whatever you want and get away with it because it isn't right. I don't understand why people don't get this concept, and this applies to online communication as well.

@Harmonian: like what HentaiElder replied, I do expect maturity from a HENTAI site (this is not a PORN site) because hentai are meant for 18 years old and plus, though I'm sure many users aren't of age, but they keep to themselves. Sex on any level of discussion requires a sense of maturity. You laugh every time I say, "Penis," you don't belong here. (This was an example from my seventh-grade health teacher) So yea, I expect seriousness from a hentai site, and there's lots of fun to be had, but under control with moderation.

@HentaiElder: I do feel that IB becoming full of crap as of late, but as long as it stays there, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. In the near future this might need a revisitation. Oh yeah, it's good to be back.

As much as I hate meme spam and /b/ content I really believe this post will do nothing but create more. Why draw attention to it? the users who care already don't use memes excessively, and the users that don't care wont give a shit about you/this thread/fakku in general. Simply making a mountain out of a mole hill.

You have a point as usual, but users who don't care usually don't bother checking out the serious discussion section except for the few trolls. I think he had a valid point in bringing it up though, and it's worthy of attention.

Let's go out on a limb and say 5% of what /b/ produces is actually funny outside of /b/. Is it really a big deal then if that 5% manages to find it's way to the IB section? I don't think so, it's funny, so what's the problem?

You pretty much hit the nail on the head/showed that you understood what I meant with your post. I really have nothing against /b/. And I can't say I haven't made references to it either or used things coming from their site. However, I don't believe I mentioned anything (from that site) that would offend people.

Anyway, I guess that's the thing. People are online.. behind a computer.. and using their ability to say what they please without a fear factor involved.

Lmao. Yes, the threads there are becoming... well.. they're placed in the right sections definitely. Haha.. but they're becoming somewhat ridiculous. But yeah, as long as they're in the right section, it shouldn't be a big deal (for the time). Haha, there was this one thread... I won't mention the title/prove a link.. because it would single someone out.. but it was in IB. Haha, it was almost so bad.. that the guy was neg repped lmao. And he didn't have to offend anyone in the process.. it was just that useless.

Oh wait... I think I made it obvious which thread that might be.. with what I said. But yeah, that's that...

Well, that's probably true. Sorta how when you mention a troll, it notices.. and feeds on it. I suppose that's why there's the saying, don't feed the trolls. Perhaps I'm sorta fueling the content that comes from there (/b/) or will contribute to even more of it with this thread. I never quite considered that though...

Ah well, outside of this thread, I certainly won't be making a fuss about it.

Thanks for posting.


Edit @Waar: Haha, and as g-money said above, they probably won't check this section.. but.. the 4chan part might pull em in.. but then there's all the text. and who wants to read that? Certainly not anyone who acts immaturely..

It'll be too much to handle.
