>>39261Good. A registered association is the right way to run a 'hobby' site these days. Way better than to have a guy nimed Chris' handle all the finances and volunteer wetting himself. We saw what happened with that - when moot gave up it all went to toilet so fast.
>>39206I'm a big proponent of poster IDs on serious boards. For convenience a running count from 1, not just a session hash directly pulled from the database.
Couple that with a robust culture of trip faggotry and serious discussions can be had.

>>39360>>39355Poster IDs are a TERRIBLE idea and are useless because of VPNs. Also /pol/ uses them and I'd hardly count that as more serious than a shitposting board. We're NOT a serious professional forum, we never have been, nor should we be, this is an anonymous place to chat, argue and shitpost about different topics with effort-posting on occasion. People are mostly free to discuss things that userIDs immediately take away.
TL;DR: Terrible idea that most of us do not want.

Posters piss and moan all the time about all kinds of stupid bullshit, but unless they're paying for the bandwidth their opinion doesn't fucking matter. The only consideration should be whether or not the decision helps or hinders the function of the forum, which is to facilitate discussion.

IDs are also a convenience feature for following multi party conversations that violates the ideal of anynomity as little as possible. If they nudge the ostensibly good faith users to act more often in better faith, that's just and added bonus.
As I said, the way they are currently implemented in most places is garbage.

found this from 2 years ago or so
The "prevailing opinion" is in a lot of cases nothing but manufactured as the medium is susceptible to manipulation. This is widely known and not a hard concept to grasp, so doing this spiel of "we are legion", while engaging in all sorts of foul play at the same time, is fundamentally dishonest (besides popularity and truth would still not have a meaningful connection). You can not on one hand do the sort of "flood the zone with shit" tactic that generally the advocates of looser moderation are engaged in, on the other ask for this idea of laissez-faire to be considered. It necessarily engenders an opposite reaction, if any. This reflects the tendency of reactionaries to bring about their own demise.

>>39368This.
>>39374>Skill issue. You'll get an intuitive feeling for that if you browse more.Eh, confirmation bias and irrelevant.
The anonymous culture of an imageboard intentionally makes it abnormal to form identities. The ideal is that people judge a post based on the contents, not who wrote it, not how many reputation points they have or their popularity. You can't receive flak which makes people ignore your posts later. Anonymity eliminates whole classes of fallacies and chills identity politics in a structural way.

The concern raised that in indefintely running generals the IDs could linger for too long is a valid one.

>>39387There are two types of generals. Threads for a wide topic where more specific threads would otherwise fall off the catalog and containment threads for high-volume/low-content discussions. I don't have anything against the /isg/ and /usapol/ shitposters, but at this point they're clogging up /leftypol/ to a degree where they should get their own containment board.
I already suggested this in a /meta/ thread 1 or 2 years ago, yet it seems the mods don't want their matrix clique to have to use a board other than /leftypol/.

>>39392They don't have enough to warrant their own board. /edu/ was a mistake, and I would even suggest /b/ \ /siberia/ was a mistake. /isg/ and /usapol/ are contained and active, what would moving them to another board achieve?

https://anon.cafe/meta/res/16466.html Anoncafe is going to be kill on March 15th and apparently its because the owners decided to just shut it down.
>Because Anon.cafe is an independent imageboard, there will invariably be speculation that we're being forced offline by various nefarious forces, so we should also say that we've had no contact of any kind whatsoever from any such entities, or indeed from anyone at all – the decision to shut down Anon.cafe is purely our own, taken on our own initiative. >We'd like to thank every anon who has ever posted here for a little over four relaxing years, and we wish every board and poster the absolute best of luck into the future, whatever it may bring.

Someone on /siberia/ mentioned Nuclear Change, it looks pretty slow at the moment but it's a new socialist board so that's cool.
It's more focused than the loungy /GET/ and /siberia/, but less edgy and dumb than /leftypol/. Their /praxis/ board is kind of a cool idea and their org thread gives the impression that it's got users who actually do shit IRL instead of roleplaying all day.
The design is sleek as fuck, props.
