>  You put too much emphasis on the meme aspect of communities. I am also of the opinion that lainchan is far from ideal. Could you please please outline how you plan on staying objective in moderation, also, why the name nuchannel?

I believe that memes are the foundation of any successful community. Without memes, digital forums or chans stick to the same 5 or so topics which are a meme in themselves.

"What browser do you use?" -- On a technological forum.

"What are you listening to right now?" -- On a general discussion forum

I could go on. 

Why do you think that Lainchan is far from ideal? I want this project to be the best that it can be, and all constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.

As far as staying objective in moderation goes, as I've said before, it will extremely transparent. I will photograph all removed posts (if appropriate) and paste them in a log. If there is proof that the person's thread was not distributing discussion, then that thread will be recreated, although, replies will be lost.

>  Banning and removing posts is not the cure; dedicated anons posting to create an atmosphere that encourages quality posting is what matters in the long term.

I couldn't agree with you more. My plans are to use the tools of moderation to forge this atmosphere. I will remove posts that create "maymay culture", but by no means will I be a dictator whom decides what is and what isn't wrong. I plan to be extremely objective, and I will never let my personal politics interfere with what this community should be.

>  You can't stop humor regardless of your personal goals. Limiting posting is dangerous. Humor can be used to removal the normals but I agree that it can also lead to a board becoming shitpost À la carte. Still, there are anon shitposts and normie shitposts and this is where many communities with good intentions go wrong.

How can humor remove the normals? I've never seen that done before, and it sounds very interesting. Are you talking about things like Pee Pee Poo Poo made up by /r9k/?


An interesting quote from the above block:

>  There are many anon shitposts and normie shitposts and this is where many communities with good intentions go wrong

I'd like to keep shitposting from both parties to a minimum or none. 

As for the communities that have failed, could you give me an example? I'd like to study those communities so that I may learn from their mistakes.

>  Why the name nuchannel?
I wanted it do be something new. How's the name MayChan sound? The name isn't set in stone.

Had to break the posts up, comment too long...
