Sages and Such

Name: Anonymous 2006-06-07 21:18

There's been a lot of flack recently about /b/'s recent cp flood. personally I'm appalled by such material, and I have to wonder how this stuff stays online. then I realize that the one tool that normal user's have for board regulation, the infamous SAGE, is more or less impotent. I've seen furry and torture threads last in /b/ for 20 minutes with up to 30 something sages, most of them properly placed in the email field. So in the end anonymous is forced to rely on mods an janitors, who really only care about bumping their own inane threads.

From what I know of the mechanics of these boards, SAGE only acts to increase the post count without bumping the thread, Slowly advancing a thread to its natural demise. If this is true, then as demonstrated, a poster who relentlessly bumps his own thread, or enlists the help of a few cohorts to assist in bumping, can keep a shitty thread up nearly a half hour on /b/... a veritable eternity.

Would it not be possible through scripting to enable SAGE a greater degree of potency? Granted, /b/ is populated by assholes, who would love nothing more than to ruin an otherwise decent thread, but Seriously it really shouldn't take more than 4 or 5 unique SAGE to kill (read: delete) a thread. Would there really be a need for janitors, if enough users recognized the need to remove a thread?

we don't give a flying fuck for your subjective view and how appalled you are BY CP or whatever. mods delete CP when it's spotted or reported to them via irc. as for continuation of 4chan: doesn't matter if the cp last 30 minutes and then gets deleted by a mod or sagekilled after 20. you only wants a unnessecary system that would only be abused.
