Appreciate your comments, anon.
>1. neutral
totally agree
>2. avoid looking like a club
here the problem is optics vs practicality
to ensure no ghost bakes during the day, bakers communicate when they will be around to bake
New bakers could - and did - bake as well. but can't rely on that alone.
Bakers were always asking if someone wanted to bake (espec a newbie) -
offer almost never accepted but shills kept saying 'club' nonetheless
>3. namefagging
won't apologize for that, coupla reasons
a. they are not real names, b. no gain for bakers, just better comms, c. to me, anon is a security measure, nothing more, d. bakering is lonely (w/constant, nasty, often personal attacks - so mutual support matters for maintaining esprit de corps).
>4. one of you
bakers are diverse, we don't control one another
>no outside comms
applies to where Q posts imo - has nothing to do with where anons work (on 8, twitter, etc).
>5. Changing the Q graphic
initiated by barkeep b/sine_nomine/akira - guy who 'loves' the animes
Baked on gerbil's endchan board. Disappeared after replatforming then reappeared with inflated ego late this summer, threw in with OSS. I was there two nights ago when battle raged about the image - this baker completely ignored anons who wanted the image reverted to the original. Now he's changing it every time he bakes - truly appalling, it's the destruction of an important symbol for the board.
>6. bakers critical
Yep. But patriots bakers can't realistically bake on /qr/ at this point. there were repeated efforts to help things 'settle' during sept - only result was sleepless, exhausted bakers. OSS is a remarkable manipulator, espec w/support from BO. If anons do not realize this, they will be subject to those manipulations.
Re posting crap on /qr/ - Jeez anon, the fact that anons actually believe traditional bakers would do this - what can i say? This is SO FAR from true as to be unthinkable. It is 100% SHILLS. ALL OF IT. One reason i will continue to keep this class open is so anons can see how "comms bakers" actually talk and act for themselves.
>7. mindset of anons
Agree that most anons don't care about board politics - just wanna place to post. But just look at how this mindset creates the perfect conditions for shills to division fag. Exactly the same way the msm manipulates normies IRL. Really important from now on - whatever happens with QR - that anons realize that situational awareness on the part of ALL anons is necessary to keep any board resistant to shill attacks.
Thanks for caring, anon. Bakers care too - but caring is not enough to resurrect /qr/. BO could help but won't. So fixing this situation is likely to require the intervention of Q in some way or a move to a new board, imo. If bakers like me try to bake on /qr/, shills will scream and OSS will flood the place with spam on /comms/. Even worse than now.
Each of us can each do only what it is within our power to do. Some bakers created a clean board because that is what bakers know how to do. Anons are welcome to work there, Q is welcome to post there should he wish. Nobody wanted this but it is what it is. Past is past, we move forward into an unknown future.

Never give up. Board has been thru a lot. Will survive until it doesn't need to, one way or another.

Ten Tips for Notables
rev. 11-5-2020
GENERALLY
1. Maintain a separate Notepad++ file for notables (don't insert directly in the pastebin file).
Enables you to note missing sauce, put in "iffy" notes at the end (waiting for a nom), etc.
2. Post about four times during the bread, (early, middle, last call, final).
Don't stick anything iffy in at the last moment, make sure anons can vet it first.
3. Make notables easy to find with RED TEXT and BOLD.
Especially important if you may have to ghost–next baker needs heavy formatting to locate important info like notes.
4. Link notes to dough post if you have to ghost.
Same reason as above.
DECIDING WHAT TO NOTABLE
5. Look for anon noms, they are usually notable.
"Usually" because shills nom too. So do trolls. If not sure, ask for a 2nd nom or say what's missing.''
6. For noms wo/a description (usually anon diagrams, etc.), ask for one.
It's anons' responsibility to summarize a main point.'
7. Look for newsy articles
If necessary, edit the title to be more neutral (not insulting) or shorter if wordy (or add important details if missing).
8. Look for special reports: planefags, boatfags, Resignations in the News, etc.
Anons seldom nom these, except for RA's stuff if they don't see it in Notes.
9. If there is too much news & bred is fast…
…focus mainly on nommed posts, breaking news (if verified), news re Q concerns (CP, etc.).
10. Check for two things: dates and whether it's been notabled (in qresear.ch).
Easy during slow breads, hard during fast ones. Dates take priority. But if you forget, anons or shills will always let you know.
