Imagine there's this car club. They know everything there is to know about cars, whether it's old mint hot rods, the latest japanese street rockets, or big american powerhouses. They're gathered around discussing the merits of various stage 2 turbo intercoolers, when you suddenly pull up in your beat-up, rusty old Ford Escort with a broken door handle, pop the hood, and say HAY GUYZ CAN ANYONE TAKE A LOOK AT MY CAR ITS MAKIN A FUNNY NOISE I THINK THE ROTARY IS BROKEN.

That's what it's like when you post /r/equests on /e/.

imagine there's this car club (and imagine that cars don't fucking suck). they know a lot about cars but not quite everything; therefore, they spend their time sharing information about old mint hot rods, the latest japanese street rockets, or big american powerhouses. someone wants to clarify something for everyone and asks a question about a stage 2 turbo intercooler when suddenly you gird on your judicial raiment and powdered horsehair wig, lean over your despatch box, turn the pitch of your voice up to a bitch whine, and begin to rail at the unfortunate who tried to ask a simple question.

that's what it's like when you bitch about people making 'requests' on the messageboard.

If you have sauce, post the fucking sauce or don't post at all. That way you don't have to bitch about /r/s.

It wasn't always this way. I've been browsing /e/ for almost 2 years now, and when I first started, requests weren't shunned. In fact, the opposite happened: requests were almost always fulfilled, usually without any "/r/ is that way" bullshit.

So, go on, OP. Keep being an ass. But know that you are not /e/. You do not speak for /e/.

Requests weren't shunned because they didn't used to consist of every other thread. There was at most 1 in 20, but now basically since the underage populous of 4chan has grown to such large numbers, the moderators don't moderate like they used to and it doesn't matter, because its these underage newcomers who click on the shiny interstitial adds and banners that earn 4chan its ad revenue. They pretty much don't care that the general user experience of those who lingered here for longer than most everyone else degenerates as long as the baseline of money to traffic is enough that it doesn't matter what kind of shit is posted here or anywhere on the boards. The community that m00t once enjoyed no longer exists and he knows that, the only thing that remains is just a cash cow machine which processes the masses for the milk "money" that they give to him.

I don't know about the rest of that line of shit, but the first part is true.

I don't mind helping a fellow faggot out here and there, whether it's in /r/ or not, especially not when it's relevant to my own interests.

But the newfags that come along with popularity, want to treat the site as their personal fetch gophers. Gimmie gimmie gimmie, I have nothing to give back. Got no time and no help for these colon polyps.

Ah, right. I've made my fair share of requests in my days, but I always offered something in return.

Imagine there's this car club. They know everything there is to know about cars, and while some are totals dicks, others might actually help people with their problem as much as they are able to. This makes them the ideal people to ask for help.

If you BAWWW about requests, you're a total dick.

Commenting with content.

It's sad, 'cause I find that when I started coming, no one gave a shit about /r/s in the other boards because if the content was the general context of the board, it just made sense and was answered. Case and point: When Fate/stay night came out, I personally remember asking for sauce, as well as TTGL. I did it in the /a/ board, and no one bitched me out. Granted, I had to take TTGL to /m/ for some of the more minute things, but it was answered somewhere. This is because /r/ is the same as it's always been: For computer game soundtracks and obscure japanese porn. The thing that really pisses me off about this whole debate, though, is that when people go to a board and ask RELEVANT questions, you always have dicks like RiderFan who jitch them out when they could offer something like, oh, say, pictures. Last I heard, this was an image sharing site.

/a/ and /m/ are more discussion boards anyway. They don't care so much when a thread gets pushed off.

But here, every request kills a thread of content. In other words, every requester starts off with a negative impact. A debt to the board, if you will. And in addition to that he demands we post the content for him!

Quite rude, if you ask me. And encouraging it in any way will not make /e/ a better place. It will make it go the way of /h/, where you have pages upon pages of requests and other junk threads, with one barely-relevant image and nothing to follow. Is this really what you want /e/ to be like?

Summer is upon us. New people will abound. Do you want to let them know that they can just waltz in, post their little mandatory pic, and then sit back like a spoiled child expecting us to do the work?

I. Do. Not.

Besides, asking for sauce, or more, in an existing thread is fine.

But killing an old thread, just to start a new thread with no purpose but to request something?

No, don't let them do that.

actually, what you have in /h/ is pages and pages of both requests and things that may well not be requests but the whiny bitchass sagefags are too paranoid to give long enough to find out if they're requests or not, interspersed with low grade rape manga.

Do you really think anyone who was going to contribute would be stopped by that? Like, "Oh whoops I was accidentally going to contribute but this is a request after all, my bad"? Not very likely.

Threads fail not because someone replies using the sage function. They fail because they're shit.

Imagine there's this imageboard. This board is devoted to the sharing and discussion of ecchi content. They've made a set of excellent threads which contain high quality content, that due to image limit restrictions have gotten pushed back a couple of pages, when you suddenly create a thread demanding that people post images that fit your description while failing to contribute even one related image, choosing instead to provide an unrelated picture, and you push an excellent thread off the board where it is lost forever.

That's what it's like when you post /r/equests on /e/.

The thing is, people who are anti-requests say people often post one image with requests, but I have yet to see that happen. Maybe it happened before, but most every request I see on here and /h/ have a minimum of three images with them.
>> Anonymous
The thing is, people who are anti-requests need to chill and quit taking an imageboard like this so seriously.

>>606863

The thing is, I don't think you pay much attention then.

At the time of this post, there are 10 threads on /h/'s front page.

4 are requests, 1 is a pic-unrelated "tell me this bullcrap" thread. Only one of the requests has more than one pic.

This is typical of the cancer that has eaten /h/ alive, and is attempting to take over /e/.

yeah h/ is pretty gay for a few years but thats part of the experience of looking for sex pictures. e is still good imo and if anything the 'GO TO R' posts are bad the atmosphere, i don't care if some other person on the internet thinks someone didnt post enough to earn his req, especially since classic threads can start this way, its a board you browse looking for pics dudes
