>>1145502Traps, racebaiting, genderbaiting, robobaiting, /b/aiting, and a word filter that fails to create originality. It's /b/ lite with a heavy coating of /pol/. We see now that /pol/ with a coating of /b/ was the right choice, ala /bant/. Though,
/r9k/'s whole purpose was to create originality which has failed miserably. And nobody expected robots to take over, which just further exaserbates the issue of /r9k/'s very purpose being subverted. That's where the true problem lies, the board's mods have failed to adapt the rules of /r9k/ to fit it's new purpose, which is robot containment.
I'd be satisfied if they just purged traps though, that'd improve their quality tenfold by itself.
