/lit/ - Literature

You forgot:
>>6047996

Why don't you do something about it?
You just made a thread to complain. Do something, anon.

>>6048002
>>6048001
Not OP. Meta thread is fine in this case. The place is fucking ruined. And I say that as an idiot who supports a bane and shitposting ratio of like 10:1 as "board culture" anyway.

Who cares, though, really. It's not like the threads that would replace those would be any better.

>What do you think of Hamlet?
>Should I read James Joyce?
>What do you think of dystopian literature?
>What is the best poem?

Never any substance ever on this board.

A third of the threads you quoted are fine.
I'm honestly surprised that there has been almost no moderation for the past few days.

>>6048002
Do what?

I've been sending emails to moot for months and I report all these pseudo-intellectual threads.

>inb4 jokes about sending moot emails

It's not much to take 5 minutes out of my day to send him an email.

I used to think he wasn't at fault for this site going to shit but in reality he is.

How fucking hard is it to delete a thread?

This whole site could be fixed within a few months. There are apparently board rules and yet the mods don't even abide by them.

fuck off then

>>6047996
You really don't visit /lit/ that often do you

>>6048013
>one of the OPs of a shit thread not related to literature detected

Nobody knows we're here. Keep it that way or they'll delete us

>>6048015
It used to be much MUCH better than this just several months ago

I wish posting continental philosophy was a bannable offence.

>>6048015
I've been here for years, newbie.

moot's leave has got me all riled up.

>>6048008
I don't know. I'm honestly fine with the board, but when was the golden age of /lit/?
Is the period archived?

>>6048008
True but it just requires some stability and after that step better content will thrive.

>>6048028
>but when was the golden age of /lit/?
The whole year leading up to D&Es tripcode being outed.

>>6048025

'Analytic philosophy' is worthless

How are any of these examples of why 4chan is dying? This is the closest we've got to a philosophy board

>>6048034
>>6048025
Neither should be posted unless discussing a certain author or a piece of writing.

Cancer.

>>6048022
>just several months ago

let's see

>daily religion vs atheism thread
>daily marxism thread
>daily zizek thread
>muh nietzche
>muh kierkegaard
>le greeks meme xDDD
>muh meme philosophers xDDD

>>6048036
>Pseudo-intellectual /tv/, /r9k/ and /pol/ crossposter philosophy questions like "What is the purpose to life?" should be posted every week on a literature board

>>6048022
I second this.

The "upkeep" has been a little lax since the Mootsters retirement, but the board has seen better days than in recent months.

I still advocate General threads

>>6048033
I wouldn't know when that was because I asked when it was.

>>6048036
Philosophy threads should discuss certain works, writers or fields not pseudo garbage that clogs this place up every week with question.

>>6048055

>I still advocate General threads

leave

>>/lit/thread/S2909360

The only time moot mentioned /lit/ on the Q&A was when he talked about how he got quints on it
He also said generals are shit

>>6048084
>>6048059

Exactly. Generals are shit.

Any thread that isn't discussing literature, critiquing users works, discussing an author's works or upcoming releases should be deleted.

>>6048084
Moot is shit. Self admittedly he's shit.

Generals are only as good as the contributors.
It's more about self imposed separation as this guy wants >>6048095

But what he wants isn't going to happen, now is it?

>Wahh, who's going to do the dishes? They stack up every night and no one wants to do them. Waahhh.
Sometimes it takes work.

>>6048124
I entirely agree that users should take more responsibility but a great deal of these threads are from crossposters.

I have emailed moot many times and I report threads on a regular basis so don't claim I don't contribute or at least try to clean up the dishes, buttercunt.

But my efforts have little impact.

It takes the mods to make a real change.

>>6047996
this is called a subtle raid

>>6048084
moot's opinion on generals are mixed but since it seems to be something the userbase wants, they're allowed to exist. like i'm not sure /vg/ would exist if he wanted generals gone

>>6048008
>Never any substance ever on this board.
There is, just rarely, like we had a pretty good discussion about Kafka a week or so ago >>/lit/thread/S5987351

>>6048175
>Post is from the 13th

Holy shit, anon. You can't actually think that means the board is good if there is one good thread once every couple of weeks?

>>6048194
I personally enjoyed reading several of the current threads. You always get a mix of insightful comments and uninformative banter, its always been that way. I personally think generals tend to be slightly more on topic than threads with a vague topic.

ITT: tripfags talking to tripfags about faggotry

>>6048228
You understand nothing.

Can you point us to a few of these comments ?
