>1 guy makes a thread on /qa/

/qa/ is by far the most cancerous board on the site. They should return (you)s and remove /qa/.

What the hell are you talking about? You mean you haven't been using other extensions other than the native one this entire time?

Good. (you)'s were literally being abused by shitposters to get attention.

4chan X is garbage. Too many bullshit features I don't want nor need. The native extension did everything it needed to up until recently.

If the Japanese can post on their image and text boards without the (You) with no problems, surely gaijins with their bigger penises can do so too.
Surely they're not just big pampered spoiled little children.

I seriously doubt that one guy actually influenced the decision.

He was atleast a trigger. The decision to pander to him makes no sense.
>>
>>918832
You know what you said. Backlinking is still there. Phones also have a find.

Less incentive to fish for replies and adds a barrier of entry for the lowest levels of user.

It was much better that way because not every 10 year old was able to use it.
>>
>>918848
There have been anti (You) threads for months on /qa/. This is not a new idea some one just had.
>>
>>918841
Literally no one but that guy was asking for (you)s to be removed. He spammed his retarded whining thread every day for fucking months, and instead of getting a ban or being ignored he gets his personal request rewarded to him because he cried enough.

With every shitty move Hiro makes I'm getting more and more fed up with it. If he continues these retarded fucking decisions I'm going to just leave and find a new site to post on. He clearly doesn't give a shit about the users here, nor does he have any idea how to run the place.
Just watch, it will be fucking weeks before he responds to all these complaints
>>
>>918850
>implying it is hard

/qa/ really is the worst board on 4chan.
>>
>>918864
I didn't say it was hard, I even gave the methods. It makes the site less user friendly though and that itself keeps the newest of fags scratching their heads and maybe even get frustrated enough to leave.

4chan for the longest time never had this silly (You) feature. It isn't your website because you're nothing but a newfag who needs to learn his fucking place by lurking and learning how to read a thread without getting lost. If you want discussion with is entirely focused around you, fuck off to Facebook or Twitter.

>>918812
>to makes the site usable
The site IS usable. Fuck me, for years we didn't even have inline post number replies automatically pinned to posts like we do now and you're fucking saying that a bunch of teenagers are more capable than you?
You are the real problem here. You and all your fucking stupid ilk. The lowest common denominator of societies with Internet connections pouring into 4chan now that it's completely fucking retard friendly.

(You) made it easier and faster to track a topic. It made participating in a topic easier as well. It simplified replying to a topic.

If Hiro doesn't understand this basic logic then he shouldn't be running 4chan in the first place.

Hiro, just sell 4chan already. Give it to someone who actually wants the job

The point Hiro needs to see is that it's not okay to just abandon popular useful features out of fucking nowhere, listen to a spammer who has demanded (you) be removed for fucking months, and be nowhere to be found when people are upset over the change and want to talk to him and tell him they want it back.

Yes you can add it back on your own, but that might not be said for the next retarded change Hiro decides to implement

You're not replying to a topic, you're ignoring it and paying attention only to posts that directly address you.

The custom CSS feature exists for a reason, you're encouraged to change anything you aren't satisfied with in 4chan's layout. Stop crying and add those three lines of text in there, or get 4chanX already.
And the (You) feature was grossly misused for the sake of shitposting, so I'm glad to see it go.

If you can't see why (you) was a helpful feature and not just for shitposting then you're definitely an autist
>>
>>919092
And now ........ Will be misused for shitposting.

My point still stands that Hiro pandered to literally one guy spamming /qa/ for months, and will hide for fucking weeks before addressing any complaints about this
>>
>There are people who actually believe people shitpost just to see a (You) on their screen
People shitpost for reactions, not to tally up their (You) score, you fucking retards. That's a dumb meme
>>
>>919111
It's especially funny people are arguing that (you) was removed to avoid shitposting, yet Hiro added a clover for all 4chan pass buyers, which encourages fucking shitposting.

Moral of the story, Hiro doesn't give a shit about anything besides money
>>
>>919111
This anon is right on the money. The (you)s were removed for nothing.
>>
>>919100
>My point still stands that Hiro pandered to literally one guy spamming /qa/ for months
You can't know that.
>>
What?
>>
>>919131
Yes, I can. Literally no one was asking for (you) to be removed except for that one retard, who spammed his thread for fucking months.

Hiro has personally showed us that if you are a huge fucking crybaby and spam your threads on /qa/ for months, he won't ban you, he'll actually give in to your demands.

With so much shitposting there's no choice but to wait and see how long term reception to the loss of (you) goes. Half of 4chan is immediately going to sperg out over any change, good or bad. Or he might go with my idea and make it a feature for pass users.

This really doesn't help your argument when you decide to use boards as a substitute for google. This is also against the rules as it drags down board quality.

>(you) is a helpful feature in all of these to immediately let you know when someome has responded to your post, especially if they linked multiple posts
You seem to regard this place as something here to serve you rather than a community.

>NO USE AN INSTANT MESSANGER INSTEAD STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE!

Normally I'd agree but I hate the idea of (you) in general. It's just instant gratification akin to an upvote on reddit or a like on facebook. If you want it so badly it's obvious you weren't in the thread for a conversation anyway. Those kinds of 4chan users can either fuck off or pay the server bills, since they don't contribute in any other meaningful way.

>>
>>919228
>Simply discard the rest of the thread
Your words, not mine. Personally I read go through the whole thread, and (you) makes it easy to see when someone has specifically replied to me.

>asking for recommendations is against the rules
It's not, and is done very frequently. There are even generals for it.

You're saying 4chan shouldn't pander to people who want (you) back, but are insisting it pander to you because you don't like it.
>>
>>919233

Hiro complained about too much traffic.

>>
>>919258
That's because /qa/ is a very slow moving board. (you) is very helpful on faster boards.

And it's your opinion whether you mind having it back or not, but that doesn't dismiss the many people who want it back

but real (You)'s feel better anon!

Anyway, thanks for the reply, it worked! Got both a (you) and a dotted underline. I'm guessing nipmoot simply meant to switch to the latter as a more subtle quote indicator but not get rid of the functionality altogether. Still, (You)s are better for CTRL-F'ing


now have a (You) yourself.

Are you unable to browse without using a text-to-speech program or something? Because if you have eyes and are literate (in cases when you have to type the letters/numbers displayed and not selecting the correct images) then solving captchas is really, really easy.
>>
>>919834
Thanks my dude, though I've been using some incarnation of 4chan X for the better part of six years now so I've always had the (You) anyway.

It's amazing how much shit ought to have been intuitive that just wasn't there. Gotta put noko in the email field just so you won't lose the thread immediately after posting, gotta manually scroll up to see which quoted post said what, no way of knowing what was yours without memorizing the last few digits of the post number. Dark times.
>>
It doesn't really bother me, 4chan was perfectly navigable before they were added. I always thought it was kind of a dumb feature. They kind of changed the flow of conversations in a way I'm not entirely sure was positive.
>>
>>919844
But they're also tedious, especially for faster boards. And they malfunction. My will broke and I bought a 4chan pass after being hit with 8 of the fuckers in a row before finally being cleared to post, hitting the button, and getting a "mistyped the captcha" error anyway. It's been getting more and more obnoxious over the years.
>>
>>919857
When was the (you) feature added anyway? I don't even remember anymore.

Because people tailor their posts to get lots of (you)s just like they try to get karma on reddit.

I'm more curious why you think this will lead to an account system. Especially considering (you)s only have existed for like two years tops. I didn't even realize they were an official feature. I just thought they were a function of 4chan X.

>>
>>919988
Pretty sure you still should have proper (you)s. Try to contact support, this is probably a mistake on 4chan's part.
>>
I still get (you)'s, which completely invalidates your point.

But it's fucking moronic and pointless to remove them at all when people can still type "(You) hee hee durr durr", infact (You) have actually brought this fucking (You) meme to life and given it credence at all. It's only going to get more powerful because of what (You) did.
>>
>>919979
I didn't get a dotted line from you.

btw, I used to have problems with You's too. Didn't always show up even if I got replied to. That's why I wont miss this feature, it never worked properly.
