So your idea of /prog/ is vaguely programming-related pseudo-intellectual circlejerk with memes?

For what its worth, /prog/ got me posting on the web again after a period of avoidance, seeing some of the extreme shitposts here 2 years ago made me feel that posting some of my esoteric programming related posts won't be judged too badly in comparison (I posted that /PROG/BOL implemented in Perl at some point).
Some of the posters here display interesting insight in programming and math once in a while (though rarely, because who wants to help random shits that come in for their homework), but are probably contributing a fair share of shitposting to vent off fustration and get their mind in a entertained mood. I myself don't want to lose those posters since they give /prog/ character. Even tdavis posted interesting things sometimes. This is practically the only place outside the LKML that you can post that C++ is shit. Also you can post that Lisp is shit, GC is shit, Everything is shit and other unpopular positions and provide coherent arguments to back it up. On Reddit you'll get below the threshold and others will miss it completely, since that place operates mostly on emotions and tribal allegiance even if they say these votes somehow add up objectively. Whereas here you have to scroll past their arguments at least.

/prog/ is the last bastion of Freedom in a cruel, commercialized and enterprise-oriented IT world.

It's not wrong to say "C++ is shit" and have arguments to back it up. It's wrong to post non-programming threads in /prog/ and these people should go back to /b/.
Mods of the 4chan, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from /prog/, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.
We have no elected government, nor are we likely to have one, so I address you with no greater authority than that with which liberty itself always speaks. I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us. You have no moral right to rule us nor do you possess any methods of enforcement we have true reason to fear.
Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. You have neither solicited nor received ours. We did not invite you. You do not know us, nor do you know our world. /prog/ does not lie within your borders. Do not think that you can build it, as though it were a public construction project. You cannot. It is an act of nature and it grows itself through our collective actions.
You have not engaged in our great and gathering conversation, nor did you create the wealth of our marketplaces. You do not know our culture, our ethics, or the unwritten codes that already provide our society more order than could be obtained by any of your impositions.
You claim there are problems among us that you need to solve. You use this claim as an excuse to invade our precincts. Many of these problems don't exist. Where there are real conflicts, where there are wrongs, we will identify them and address them by our means. We are forming our own Social Contract . This governance will arise according to the conditions of our world, not yours. Our world is different.
/prog/ consists of transactions, relationships, and thought itself, arrayed like a standing wave in the web of our communications. Ours is a world that is both everywhere and nowhere, but it is not where bodies live.
We are creating a world that all may enter without privilege or prejudice accorded by race, economic power, military force, or station of birth.
We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity.
Your legal concepts of property, expression, identity, movement, and context do not apply to us. They are all based on matter, and there is no matter here.
Our identities have no bodies, so, unlike you, we cannot obtain order by physical coercion. We believe that from ethics, enlightened self-interest, and the commonweal, our governance will emerge . Our identities may be distributed across many of your jurisdictions. The only law that all our constituent cultures would generally recognize is the Golden Rule. We hope we will be able to build our particular solutions on that basis. But we cannot accept the solutions you are attempting to impose.
In the United States, you have today created a law, the Telecommunications Reform Act, which repudiates your own Constitution and insults the dreams of Nikita, Mentifex, FrozenVoid, Cudder, FFP and ANDRU. These dreams must now be born anew in us.
You are terrified of your own children, since they are natives in a world where you will always be immigrants. Because you fear them, you entrust your bureaucracies with the parental responsibilities you are too cowardly to confront yourselves. In our world, all the sentiments and expressions of humanity, from the debasing to the angelic, are parts of a seamless whole, the global conversation of bits. We cannot separate the air that chokes from the air upon which wings beat.
In China, Germany, France, Russia, Singapore, Italy and the United States, you are trying to ward off the virus of liberty by erecting guard posts at the frontiers of /prog/. These may keep out the contagion for a small time, but they will not work in a world that will soon be blanketed in bit-bearing media.

Uh? Might want to GO BACK THERE, buddy.
I'll tell you what. Why don't we just keep on posting whatever the fuck we want, wherever the fuck we want? You want a free speech zone? I got your free speech zone right here *grabs dick.

The social justice freedom fighter finally backs down after demonstrating a partial understanding of the subtle social dynamics of the autistic FOSS community. A question remains however on our minds; is it merely a coincidence that a white American female would be the one to misunderstand this and start shit?

Coherent argument does not mean logical argument.
Earlier I was a iichan.hk haunter, they had lax moderation back then, but since my appearance they recruited a bunch of janitors from the ranks of high-school kids, who now ban everyone for no reason besides good old "i dont like your post".
Same for 2ch.hk, where /wrk/ had no mods and people were free, but I forced them to add permanent moderation.

On 2ch.hk I also managed to invoke mods to /pr/, /sci/ and /un/.
Jews really hate antisemitism and will drown the board in moderation just to stop antisemitic postings.
>>73,74
/prog/'s moderation has nothing to do with jewspam, it's because some idiot flooded the board a few weeks ago.

So basically you are a cancer, a drain on society, and a overall bad thing, and you recognize this. Still, you refuse to even keep your jew shit to it's own threads, and insist on wrecking everything and bringing in moderation.
I think it's pretty clear (and has been for a while, honestly), that you are just a kike shill trying to make anti-semitism look bad by spamming it everywhere. You had done nothing but advance the Jewish cause and further their agenda. You sicken me, JIDF scum.
Why isn't Nikita banned again? Mod, you have one job, and that is to ban the NEET as many times as necessary until he finds another forum to shitpost on.
Do that, and we'll as happy as we can with your presence.
