Incoherent Babbling

So, over the past few months users have been complaining about the current state of affairs in IB. I'm going to point out some of the most obvious flaws that I see are prevalent in the section which contribute to this state. Pointless Blogging Remember the whole IB isn't your personal blog blog mentality? What happened to it? Why aren't we enforcing it anymore? Sure, it's nice to post about your life once in a while, but only if it's something that's actually worth discussing. Does anyone really give a fuck if Slayer's been eating subway or if Lugo's car broke down? I sure as hell don't, shit like that happens every day to millions of people, it doesn't warrant a thread and if you really want to talk about it just use Skype. There's only a few reasons I could really see aside from someone being genuinely bored enough that they'd respond to those threads, which leads me into my next point... Posting for the Sake of Posting and Feeding Trolls This seems like it's pretty rampant in the section right now. All too often people make totally meaningless posts in totally meaningless threads just for the sake of posting or because the user who made the thread in question is their friend. This isn't CTFG, if you want to create chat topics and circle jerk each other that's the place to do it. If you don't like a thread that x user has created or it's a thread with the obvious purpose of trolling don't fucking respond to it. The only reason Shiki keeps making low-quality threads and posts in this section is because you keep responding to it and feeding his goddamn insecurity. I don't even know why I have to point this out, it's Internet 101, don't feed the trolls, don't complain about their content, don't respond to comments and threads that aren't interesting. If you follow those three simple rules you will rid yourselves of whatever troll is plaguing the section. X Newfag is Shit and His/Her Posts are Shit Yeah, sure, the fault is on the user themselves to a point, but only to a point. We're the active users, we're the prominent users and we're the ones that are supposed to be setting a good example for new members. It is our responsibility. If you don't want every new user who comes into this section to post shit content you should probably stop posting about what you had for fucking lunch. What is this, snapchat? And no, just because you've been a member for a long time and have integrated into the community doesn't mean you have the right to shitpost all over the place. I'm not going to point out names, but just looking at the first three pages of IB It's hard to find a thread by an old user that's any more interesting than how many teddy bears I have.
