Alright, I'm the third staff member and I guess I'll give my opinion. Do I need a single letter to identify myself? Hmm... nah.
>>6202>Frankly it seems like you're avoiding the topic of what we have to do when people don't understand that a /av/ board is for anime discussion and decide to use it to post funny things.I don't think this is an issue based on what I've seen in /a/ across its various forms on different imageboards including 4chan in recent times. The /a/ name is synonymous with generals and "condense your threads" thinking. What we need to fight against is the instinct for people to live inside individual threads and starting to identify with them instead of kissu. I'd say a rule would be that OP has to start a conversation in the thread and needs to stay engaged with it for a bit. No plopping a "ANIME NAME" thread down and walking away to wait for other people to make something of it. OP's job has always been to start an interaction.
Ideally this board would have posts and screenshots/video that inspires people to make /jp/ threads the way IRC can lead to kissu threads. If people see something in a show/game with broad appeal, especially if it's something simple and dumb, the instinct needs to be to make a /jp/ thread and not to post in the discussion thread. "I didn't think it was worth a thread" is a thought process that will pop up.
Also we need to make it clear that dumb threads on /jp/ can and should lead to discussion. Yes, this means not all discussion of a show or game will be in the serious thread and that's good. Use kissu as a whole site! I've been told I should write up a sticky so I'm going to end my post here, but it will be similar to this post I think.
