This is the official hiro approved meta thread to talk about the state of the board.
Jow Forums is currently in a really fucking bad state and the mods aren't really doing a great job at the moment, but it is a tough task to clean up this shithole. it also doesn't help that the two problems plaguing the board feed each other. thot posters have been tolerated for years at the rates they posted at. the incredible vast majority of the time people would just ignore the pictures and reply to the thread normally. but this past month some people have decided there were too many thot posters so they started spamming low effort shitposts. this has had the annoying effect of angering the thot posters so they actually have been posting more frequently, which makes the spam posters post their garbage more. it's a viscous cycle that needs to be stopped
mods have made it clear that neither people are in the right, since both thot threads and coom spammers have been deleted en masse, so no shit flinging will be allowed in this thread. try and come up with solutions to the board's problems. the board is currently april fool's levels of shit, but without any of the fun.

How about literally install the r9k algorithm on this board to ban all non original content forever? That would make shit good fast
This is the best thing that has ever happened to this board.
It is you the nofap monks that need to relax.
Gets pretty annoying tbhtbhtbhtttttttttt
Come the fuck on how’s that not original
coom is funny and a good dose of shitposting keeps the board healthy.
If you want sterile no fun allowed attention whoring fueled circlejerks you can head back to r*ddit you cock sucking mod bootlicking faggot.
jannies are losers that rampantly delete threads that are on topic or at the least, fostering serious discussion. the shitposting you see is a board revolt that happens every couple of months when these reddit faggots overstep, it'll go back to normal in a few weeks, but asking for more of their shitty moderation is just going to prolong coomposting
if they did that people couldn't ss+gomad post
not worth
Hear me out, how about we just make a new rule so that all op images must be related to the thread's topic?
are there mods in this board?
Why can't we get /sig/ to stay up? It is the most productive discussion for a thread general on the board
I don’t get it, where did all this virgin resentment for whores come from, is it some discord thing to get people to only post images of men with big cocks?
It's a good idea, but then every thread would be a person's body, workout equipment, etc. Plus some topics might not have any sort of image to go with it, such as no fap threads. I suppose you could post a banana or something, but that's boring/gets old as well.
I just find it really strange that your shitposting only targets threads where women are posted, and not the dozens of threads where off topic half nude men are posted
it's really odd
and surely if you wanted to have a fitness discussion without ever seeing a filthy w*man reddit would be the first place you'd go since their format doesn't force posting an image with every thread
The best part about Jow Forums is how I'm bigger and stronger than all of you pantywaists
Sig is a general for cumbrains under the placebo effect of 2 days nofap.
That wont keep you out of jail jerome
>no one complaining about half nude men
Well, we are on Jow Forums after all, what did you expect?
Ban all nofap, coom and porn related. Also mod reform
>le how can images of whores pass, but muscular men not
It is because those muscular men do not cause arousal, unless you're a filthy sodomite, but you're too far gone at that point.
No it isn't, it has really helped me alot in getting my life back on track and now its gone. Sad.
coomposting changed my life
How the fuck is the femcel poster not banned? Why are jannies so shit? Who the fuck can we talk to to change anything? Jow Forums(nel) is fucking Reddit now
Thotposting is a surface problem. The underlying problem is that over half the fucking threads made are relationship threads in one form or another. Just because you frame it as "at the gym" doesn't mean you're faggy "How 2 Speak 2 Girls" thread isn't off topic relationshit cancer.
ALL threads like that need to be deleted and their OPs b& for at least a week.
Why the fuck would Hiro care about a cumbrain ridden forum? He's not even fit.
Nofap is also 100% relationship bullshit. It is "sexual health" and therefore cancer.
I'm white and not American.
>Ban feels breads
Or how to kill a relatively healthy board in 2 or less steps
60% of the board are sodomites. if your goal is to clean the board up of porn then you have to target the homo posters, but you're not
Because it's explicitly off topic. /sig/ threads are a general for everything BUT lifting, or any other sort of physical training. There are various other boards meant for that shit, take it to one of them.
but how can we ask people to post body
1. PEOPLE WHO DO NOT EXERCISE OR DISCOURAGE EXERCISE NEED TO STOP POSTING.
2A. PEOPLE WHO DO NOT EXERCISE, POST OFF TOPIC THREADS, AND OFF TOPIC IMAGES NEED TO STOP POSTING. THEY NEED TO BE BANNED.
3. IMAGES THAT BELONG ON /S/ MUST STAY ON /S/, AND POSTING /S/ IMAGES FROM SOCIAL MEDIA OR OTHERWISE ARE DISCOURAGED. THIS BOARD IS SFW. /S/ IMAGES ARE NSFW.
4. LOW EFFORT POSTS, LOW QUALITY POSTS, AND TROLLING ARE DISCOURAGED AND IN WORSE CASES, SHOULD RESULT IN A BAN; E.G. :
> "do i dump my gf? also to keep it fitness related what is your max squat"
> "girls dont like muscles you incels"
> "how do i get this body"
4A. THREADS ABOUT DATING IN SPECIFIC, SHOULD BE A BANNABLE OFFENSE. DATING IS NOT RELATED TO FITNESS.
5. IF NECESSARY, GENERAL THREADS ARE TO BE MADE FOR THOSE MORE SPECIFIC TOPICS; E.G. :
>weight loss general
>running / cardio general
> powerlifting general
>the eternal mire thread
>DYEL general
>fraud general
>current body general
6. NEWCOMERS THAT DO NOT READ THE STICKY ARE LOW QUALITY POSTERS, AND SHOULD BE WARNED, THEN BANNED IF THEY PERSIST. READ THE FUCKING STICKY.
It does not seem to me that they make up a large portion of the board, they're more of a vocal minority, i think.
You're right nonetheless, though.
>Likes feel threads
>Implying Jow Forums is a healthy board
Post body and/or lifts.
Because the janitors are from fucking Reddit too.
Mire threads are ultimately relationship threads. A mire is inherently an interaction between two or more people, and it doesn't have any relevance to actually training.
But everything else you said is perfectly spot on.
I'm sort of a Jow Forums newfag but Jow Forums oldfag. From what I've seen
>thotposting
I like tits and all but there's always softcore porn in the first page which kind of goes against the purpose.
>moderation
Plenty of bait threads are kept, specially fag shit, while related threads such as /sig/ are deleted right away. Now, I'm a newfag so idk what the drama is with sig, but that doesnt excuse all the attention whoring and fag shit that gets posted while tangentially related threads are getting deleted at the same time.
Other than that I think it's a pretty cool, comfy board.
>Trip
>Is retarded
Totally unexpected
Fuck off newfriend. This board literally invented >tfw no gf. Most of us come here to shitpost, you are a retard if you think this board can survive on eat more, eat less and lift more alone. I bet you think zyzz is a degenerate too
Thst is a genuinely terrible fucking idea.
Jow Forums is dead. Jow Forums in general is. Anyone who actually lifts went to Jow Forumsbodybuilding years back now. It's just Jow Forums & Jow Forums shit now.
People making excuses for staying sad cunts like blaming their faces, frames, height, ethnic background, even wrists ffs. Instead of working to be the best version of themselves like Jow Forumsizens in the early days of all different sizes, shapes, and races did. You are pathetic.
I think most threads that get deleted get removed because people report them. No one on Jow Forums seems to be autistic enough to report all the off topic funposting so the threads stay up. They do seem to have clamped down on the high test threads though, I'll miss all those braphogs
>Anyone who actually lifts went to Jow Forumsbodybuilding years back now
Projecting. Post body.
3. IMAGES THAT BELONG ON /S/ MUST STAY ON /S/, AND POSTING /S/ IMAGES FROM SOCIAL MEDIA OR OTHERWISE ARE DISCOURAGED. THIS BOARD IS SFW. /S/ IMAGES ARE NSFW.
yup couldn't agree more, the banter turned to shit when all the downers of r9k swept over for some reason.
I agree. 2016's massive influx of new users to Jow Forums changed Jow Forums entirely when they began spreading out across the site.
/jp/ is also a sfw board yet they have a thread dedicated to discussing japanese porno
4channel is for all intents and purposes nsfw
Pictures of clothed women are safe for work.
OP images should be related to the content. So tired of "how do I lift a dumbell hurr" while the image is some Jow Forums or Jow Forums obvious bait image that those disgusting board refugees flock to.
Can we PLEASE talk about how /sig/ belongs in Jow Forums ?!? It's insane that it would get constantly moved.
This is a petition to officially start calling /fph/ threads /fah/: fat activism hate, to be less harsh on the large population of Jow Forumsizens who are on here genuinely trying to lose weight
>This board literally invented >tfw no gf.
Just because Jow Forums is patient zero for that cancer doesn't mean it isn't cancer. Now post body or lifts.
THIS AND
THIS
"Ironic" r*ddit posting should be grounds for a month long ban on all boards.
Sugarcoating will never lead to anything good regarding fat "people".
/sig/ is good. there's always more in life to improve beyond your body and Jow Forums are self improvement specialist. /sig/ also had an emphasis on mental health which is just as important as physical health but it wasnt as defeatist as feel threads
also jannies are garbage
Make your own incel fitness website and get the fuck off my board retarded trip newfriend
I'm literally browsing Reddit right now.
>Calling others new
Post body or lifts. Surely if you've been here for such a long time you'd be strong, swole, or both.
notice everyone bitching about the idea is exactly who the board needs chemo against
It should be a rule that if you tell someone to post their body, you have to post your body first.
also a rule that if you reply with "have sex" you have to post you having sex first
Fit always has the most annoying spammers, it was brapposters before the cumbrain meme.
I'm just really tired of the facebook mommy tier advise and wish people started calling out people on /nomusic/, /nofood/, and all that garbage, literal gains goblin faggot larpers
Post body
>Post some stupid ass shit
>Get told to post body/lifts to justify your existence
>NO U
Post body/lifts.
Nobody cares about your fart-worshipping board. It's been the same repetitive garbage fore years now
>sips
>wojaks
>last rep face
>tfw no gf
Change nothing so more people migrate to reddit or watever forum has actual fitness advice
based and boomerpilled
the only actual fitness advice is covered in the sticky. the rest of the board needs a good balance of shitposting, feels, and existential crises
Jow Forums is in a real threat of dying if this continues, i know im not renewing my Jow Forums pass at this point
gb2/asp/
>.t Dweeb who has been lifting for almost three months now
when I first came to Jow Forums the advice was unironically better than reddit's
the self professed experts on Jow Forumsfitness regurgitate the same fucking shit and switch to a new program every few years, denouncing the former as total garbage
the order was something like
>>SS > SL > 5/3/1 > NSUNS
and they all screamed about each and every single one being too low volume while formerly shouting everyone into the ground who did not do the prorgam the mob currently prefered
at the same time they let obvious roiders post their progressions and because of board policy noone was allowed to argue against it.
>tripnigger thinking he has literally any authority whatsoever

Allow atleast or only 1 test boost thread to operate as a scarifical (galvanic) anode
en.m.wikipedia.org
Let me explain.
Every internet forum has a board dedicated to off topic shit.
For Jow Forums this was /b/
Problem is, given that 4chans boards are "interest" based, people come to Jow Forums for fit related content.
Test boost threads fills a niche/role very common in fitness.
I literally see maxim magazine in sports section of newsstands at airport. Sports illustrated puts out swimsuit edition.
Was watching the movie "The Running Man" earlier and saw a locker room with pictures of girls on the locker and walls.
It's been a part of fitness since forever, and it's not going away.
Sacrificial annode is attached to ship because it basically draws the rusting/corrosion away from the rest of the vessel.
"They are made from a metal alloy with a more "active" voltage (more negative reduction potential / more positive electrochemical potential) than the metal of the structure. The difference in potential between the two metals means that the galvanic anode corrodes, so that the anode material is consumed in preference to the structure.
The loss (or sacrifice) of the anode material gives rise to the alternative name of sacrificial anode"
If a single test boost thread was allowed on Jow Forums, the thot posting and spam would be more contained.
It was also be easier to track and report/ban NSFW content.
Allow a dedicated testboost/thot thread and it will be the sacrificial anode for the board.
Based and anode pilled
Jow Forums is being run like reddit. No one cares about logic or common sense, this ship is sinking and not because of thot posters, but because of jannies and fucking reddit immigrants
>"Jow Forums is being overrun with people from gaiaonline. Let's raid gaia and say it came from YTMD" (anonymous, 2005)
Your arguement is an old one and simply not true.
You are retarded, look at how many people came after the fappening. Forget about ancientchan. Look at the statistics from 2012 onwards, haven't you seen how jennies are behaving like reddit lately?
The mods need to keep their noses out of the board and let it cure itself.
If the thotposters increase and the coom posters increase, this will be settled over time.
What we dont need is more government coming into control and report and ban the people who actually run this board.
If you don't like the state of the board, fuck you this is litterally the evolution of fourchan and its always been like this.
As far as posting off topic stuff, i come here plenty and post off topic stuff because i want to discuss feelings and girls and jobs and life with people who have similar interests as me (health and fitness)
i don't go to TV to discuss my wife with people who watch TV all day because i don't watch tv, also i don't have a wife.
Mods should only be on thelookout for illegal shit like child porn and other than that, there shouldn't be any real rules enforced at all.
This is the most pure way to run a board, let it cleanse itself.
coomposting is only the beginning.
for anyone wondering about the weird faggot trip sperging out ITT, this is literally what he looks like. he's a known /plg/ shit poster that might actually be on the spectrum. nobody likes him yet he won't go away. he's also confirmed for being 5'3", having bitch tits and being an actual redneck retard that still thinks "professional wrestling" is real.
composters are just triggered r9k faggots butthurt because they’re being reminded of what they can’t have. coomposters should be banned and be redirected to r9k every time they type in Jow Forums.org/fit
I'll post my body if you want, but only if you post yours first. Rules are rules Figgy.
AHH FOOOOOOK ARRGHHH IM COOOOOOOOMING
jk, i actually am a coom poster but i also wrote thisand i do it purely out of irony to trigger butthurts like you who get annoyed by insignificant shit
see:
This whole situation reminds me so much of old /sp/, a based board before it was flooded by shitposters and got in the hands of incompetent moderators.
If history repeats itself, the shitposting will get much worse ti.l the point fitness threads are less than 50-70% of the board at all times, then a bunch of newfag redditors who don't lift will be put in charge of the moderation to curb down the shitposting, in the process, they will take everything slightly offtopic down, even threads that although off topic, were tolerated to some degree like pushup threads, feels, tinder, varbies, high test, WoW, etc. This will make the quality of off topic threads plummet (why bother making a fun thread if it's gonna get deleted anyways in 5 minutes, here janny delete this dog feces 4 free!), regular posters and shitposters then will be more prone to post and discuss in generals to avoid getting banned, more and more generals will get created until the place looks like /vg/ but with the traffic of /po/.
Just be glad you don't have a CP spammer like /sp/ did
>follows hundreds if not thousands of instathots
>calling others r9k virgins
This is your brain on being underage, also post body
Not that dude but what is this com shit I've been seeing lately. Is it like "cuuuuum" or what.
If /sig/ isn't allowed on Jow Forums then it should be given its own board.
>Jow Forums is blue
>Fappening is red
More likely influx of new people is from the exposure via 8 chan and the recent shootings.
Even inlaws had heard of Jow Forums from it (they forgot about it from the fappening)
Yeah, i hate how ive come here and discussed getting up at 5am to workout, to study more, philosophers to look at, better ways to cook and live my life, and gotten banned from it.
We should be able to discuss more then just one way to improve ourselves then physically here.
weights and running and shit gets boring but i still want to be on Jow Forums because getting aesthetic is my goal.
fucking nazi mods
The guy I responded to is either A; an underage/indian or B; mentally ill tranny obsessed with thots because he wants to be one
Not sure which but he's a ban evading high test thread spammer (threads that are nothing but sfw softcore porn)
People started spamming "COOM" in all thot threads as retaliation to mock people like him
>these are the people using tripcodes on Jow Forums
holy shit, what a fucking DISASTER.
>Reddit
makes millions a year
>Jow Forums
gets flooded with malware ads so the server can stay up
Clearly this is Jow Forums's fault and literally nothing else
isn't the founder married to a transgender tennis monkey?
trannies can't get pregnant, so no
Unironically got sad reading this because you dropped a massive blackpill and there is literally nothing we can do. There is never going to be another Jow Forums, it can't exist in current year. I am a fucking autist and I get like 50% of my social needs from here, hurts bruh
