I hereby respectfully request that porn should be banned from /b/. Porn has no place in a leftist forum. It is ridiculous that I might be subject to porn every time I click on /overboard/. I have filtered /b/, but it still shows up in the /overboard/ catalog. That said, even if I could filter /b/ from the catalog, it would still be unacceptable. New users looking for serious leftist discussion will be turned away when they open /overboard/ and it's full of porn from /b/ (and low quality shitposts for that matter, but I digress). Ever since /b/'s inception, there has regularly been a porn thread on /overboard/. Think of what impression this makes on new users. Imagine visiting this website for the first time and then seeing this thread on the top of /overboard/:
https://leftypol.org/b/res/9485.html.
On another note, I respectfully request that /b/ should be completely deleted. /b/ promotes and only promotes low level discourse, and it has quickly become a cesspit that shits up /overboard/ ever since its inception. I see no point for the existence of /b/ except that it's a remnant of other general chans. However, this is
/leftypol/, not a 4chan/8chan clone. This website should be focused on leftist discussion. The side boards (e.g., hobby, tech, edu, etc.) are fine since the thread in there are high quality discussions that are at the very least tangentially related to leftism. I cannot say the same about /b/.
