Creating a thread to gather feedback on how the General thread should be formatted.
What should we include/not include?
Any sections to add/remove?
How is the current version?
Also what rules should Bakers adhere to before delivering the bread?
All feedback is greatly appreciated by new and old Bakers alike.

Below is my conceptualization for what future breads/doughs should be made of. Thoughts anyone?
-Fun subject fields
-Link to dedicated FAQ thread or pastebin (I will help work on this, I'm a writefag. It will explain the basics clearly and concisely in case anyone needs to get caught up.)
-Link to dedicated links thread with all kinds of links and explanations for them, including archives
-Select direct off-site links - only the most useful and relevant at that general point in time (not sure what, IMO trumptwitterachive.com and qcodefag.github.io/ should be there, and the spreadsheet, and say, 2, others) w/ minimal explanation.
-A word of encouragement, and a reminder: We are the calm before, during, and after the storm. We are all researchers in a collaborative online workspace.
-A word of guidance: eg, right now we should be focused on authenticating Q's posts; then, a reasonable list of alternative leads.
-Brief baking instructions, maybe?
-Direct links to latest Q posts and up-to-date map/authentication graphic - possibly in second, follow up post
THAT'S IT.
IN MORE OR LESS THAT ORDER.
STREAMLINED.
SLEEK.
FUNCTIONAL.
PROFESSIONAL.

Mybe I'm offtopic, but I think we should adopt a STRICT policy about derailing-monopolyzing the General thread.
I believe it's impossible to make sense of anything when there are hundreds of posts about "the evil Pope" or adenochrome or Oprah or whatever. People interested in one topic should be addressed to make their own thread, or face a ban. Most of them are shills anyway.
I know this is not a good chan policy, but this is a working board. We are already late on making the map and understanding the Q code, and I think all the derailing is the culprit.
Hope BO will do something.

BREAD/DOUGH TEMPLATE
We are the calm before, during, and after the storm. We are researchers collaborating in an online workspace. We serve at the pleasure of the President of the United States. This is not a joke. Feel proud.
Present Lead: Review Q-posts and POTUS-tweets, look for timestamp or keyword markers, compile confirmations list; produce authentication maps.
(As determined by consistent concensus of meaning of recent-ish Q-crumbs)
Other Leads: [insert short summary of a topic, like Loop Capital, here].
(As determined by somewhat lesser degrees of consistency and consensus, maybe even by individual request, at Baker's discretion)
FAQ: [link to FAQ]
(I will help writefag it, thread or pastebin whichever works better. I'm unfamiliar w/ pastebin so would prefer to do thread, also threadgoers could help refine FAQ; yet I'm not sure thread-format fit for the overall purpose of FAQ. Suggestions?)
Links: [link to dedicated links thread w/ all former dough's links not found here]
Quick Access
qcodefag.github.io
trumptwitterachive.com
[insert site TBD here]
[insert site TBD here]
[insert site TBD here]
(Links added here not by request but by consistent group consensus over multiple threads, and not to exceed a maximum of 10 - some may need to be replaced eventually)
Latest Q-posts: >>>/thegreatawakening/
[insert links to latest Q-posts here]
Q Maps: [links to grand Q-maps, all 4, latest 8]
(I could use help assembling these. Ideas for long-term hosting format - image attach, threads, offsite archives?)
Authentication Maps: [links or images of best authentication maps available, and eventually grand maps, as decided by group discussion/consensus or Q verification (ask and you shall receive)]
Apologies for off topic, but this relates to the board: I believe we should link /greatawakening/ in the board subtitle.
As threads pile up someone should always collect links to relevant posts and post into one reply. There is too much text message type chit chat shit filling up those valuable 751 posts. As you read relavant stuff post numbers on a big ass reply. Saves a lot of time.
Maybe mods could do this, or just delete all the back and forth shit.
You quit being a lameass. Having a functional bread template is absolutely critical to the successfulness of our operations here on the chans. For example, last night I tried what should have been a simple task: finding a link to the latest grand Q map. I searched and searched old bread system for 15-20 minutes, found 1 but by then I was exhausted and gave up. Now you can say, well, you're just a retard - fine, whatever, although I don't think that's the case, the point is, grand q maps are important and finding them at a moment's notice should be so easy even a retard could do it.
Yes, obviously you need to compile good information, research, etc. But what's the point if you've got big bloated bread like we have now that's immensely cumbersome and confusing, and to the extent that it is, useless, with entire posts-worth of irrelevant or off-topic basic info that has no place there to begin with and is also worded poorly.
/qresearch/ is our opportunity to fix and refine the problems and methods of the past.
Collective research works best when there is a collective, minds work together toward one goal and shit is easy to find. Rabbit holes are great, but time is short (Q's words not mine) so why make it harder?
My suggestion is whoever set this board up be nominated for major bad ass AUTIST RESEARCH organization HMFIC. Thank you all Anons much much love. You are saving the world Patriots you are the frontline of the INFORMATION front. Stand Tall and Proud. Powered with Truth we cannot fail. Bless you all. Love and Light
Actually, scratch that idea. One can lurk moar and find the information easily.
FAQ submission imminent. Once we have that, all we need is the links part, and the complete Q maps, and the latest authentication maps and we'l be set. This is going to happen, a new kind of bread awaits. I can feel it.
Oh holy fuck. Oh my God. I can see it's already implemented, basically!!! This is the best day of my life! Thank you God! Thank you based bakers!!!!!!
Welp current model isn't exactly what I had imagined but, at least right now, you know what I feel? It's good enough. It's more than that. It's fucking great. I'm so glad the old model is out. Thank fucking goodness!
"TORFAGS GET FUCKED" is not my prefered way of being greeted to a thread. Also, it's not my fetish. I vouch to change this for something nice or remove it alltogether.
Also, this is now a /meta/ thread.
Baker asked me to put my request here. >>26111
It was my THIRD request to Baker to update the image catalog to the latest. See >>24980
and
THIRD request to BO/MOD to keep all of the memes (Image Library) threads stickied. (As well as additional memes threads that will be needed to accomodate the the memes that Anons create). >>23936
More info: Image Library #7 >>387 had been sticked per my request, but somebody unstickied it when they stickied #8 >>16771 at my request. Really both (all) of them need to be stickied. There will be a few more image threads created, but not as fast as #7 and 8 once the porting of the image library is complete in a day or two.
Memes/images are one of this group's main deliverables (after digging produces information that is rendered into image form).
Some of the meme droppers are casual visitors here and are not familiar with the site's structure. But we very much need it to be easy for them to find and pick up memes to distribute on their social media. That is why these threads ought to be sticked and remain stickied.
It would be a disaster if these threads fell off the board once they lock up. For example it took me two full days to port over 5000 images that we had from /cbts/ and /thestorm/ over here. I just cannot imagine having to repeat that work because of somebody's intransigence. Please.
Stop editing/memoryholing posts faggot
>>36756
Why the FUCK are the board rules explained in the dough? Idiots.
OPSEC RULES??? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??? RETARDS!!!!!!!!!!
THERE SHOULD BE A DEDICATED ARCHIVE THREAD WITH LINKS TO MEMES. THIS ALONE WOULD CUT 15 LINES OF TEXT OF YOUR SHITTY DOUGH.
FUCK YOU GAY POEM.
WHY THE FUCK IS OPSEC RULES MENTIONED TWICE? KILL YOURSELF FAGGOT.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT SECTION WORTHLESS.
ABOUT SHILLS SECTION SUPERFLUOUS.
PRAYER SECTION SUPERFLUOUS.
I AM DEEPLY DISTURBED BY THE DIRECTION IN WHICH THE NEW DOUGH IS HEADED.
And regarding hooktube, I feel a lot safer being one of YT's faceless millions/billions than using some two-bit website ran by who-knows-who like hooktube.
Bread is unusable and disgusting in its current state. Information overload, again. The same problem that plagued both old boards. It was supposed to be different here. It was supposed to be 1-2 posts, tops.

Nothing else of value has been lost. Proposed dough is highly functional and readable, without superfluous information (not distracting, not confusing, not redundant).
When this board was formed, there was a poll. Should the new bread be simple or not? Overwhelmingly, we voted for simplicity. This is a new era in Q research. OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW.
Can't right now, sorry.
Not sure if this helps but this show show the formatting.

this is a long fucking post. i don't expect a swift reply (or any reply really). just sharing my thoughts.
i made the "flatbread - imnotdoinitrite" general today, and i have some feedback. the reason i made that thread was because there was a several minute gap where the current one auto-capped at 750 and there was no new general in the catalog. believe me, i refreshed the page several times. i felt it was more important for the thread to exist in a timely fashion than to take the extra minutes required to create a proper /general/. i haven't been with Q since the beginning. i've only been a part of this since 8chan. i don't really use cuckchan anymore. this gives me different viewpoints as compared to someone who migrated here from 4/pol/.
best i understand it, 4/cbts/ was heavily shilled and it reached the point where you had to have a trusted group of anons (i assume they became tripfags because of this) who could assume the responsibility of making new threads that weren't compromised or subverted with stale bread/disinfo. from what i'm seeing, this is such a habit, a carryover from 4chan, that some anons even question if the board is compromised if every. single. link. isn't cluttering up the first 4 posts. it displays a clear lack of knowledge about the principle of separate board ownership/moderation/control that didn't exist on halfchan. imo, they should stfu and lurk moar. it is that very concept of separate ownership that prevents the movement from being compromised on 8ch.
some anons, it seems, followed a link from jewtube to get here, and are so fucking new they don't even know how to create a new thread. imo, they should go back to plebbit. rude memes aside, the newfaggotry wreaks. i am at a disadvantage having to play catch-up reading the crumbs and the backstory, but the anons, on average, are also at a disadvantage of being clueless as fuck about chan culture and exactly how 8chan functions. i've taught several anons how to link properly, how to embed videos, etc. it's taken a good deal of restraint for me to not shitpost on this board telling them to stfu, gtfo, etc. there's one anon who can't distinguish between a board and a thread, ffs.
i'm not criticizing anons for the sake of criticizing anons. i'm only using it as supporting evidence that there are stark differences here they don't understand, having came from other platforms. i believe these misunderstandings are the root of division between the anons who want a lean & trim OP for the /general/ and the anons who want the behemoth 3+ post OP. my actions today in creating the truncated general thread illustrate perfectly the potential benefits of having a simplified OP. literally anyone who knows how to make a thread can bake the new bread. the pastebin presents a higher barrier of entry and i think it scares many anons away who could otherwise create the next bread with relative ease.
i have no intention of creating an alternate Q board, but if i did, this is how i would organize it:
the current OP pastebin would be its own separate thread. the top few posts could be edited on a continual basis to track current information and link to all the primary & secondary resources. the OP for the general thread would contain the pic and a subject header of /QDG/ #xx or whatever, as long as it's consistent. that's it. nothing else need be in the OP. the separate ownership of boards on 8 allows for this, where the format of 4 didn't. on halfchan, every thread had to be a self-contained whole entity. it's completely unnecessary on infintechan. if anons can't into a separate dough thread, they should gtfo or stfu and lurk moar. while i'm larping as a hypothetical board owner, i'd probably also have only one memes thread and toggle the cyclical bit with the maximum number of posts 8chan's source code will allow.
to the question of board integrity, the hypothetical separate dough thread would be the sanity check to determine if a board has been compromised or if the moderation team is inadequate/incompetent. if the mods can't or won't keep accurate updates for it, it's an indication that another migration should occur to a board with a different owner, or that the owner needs to fire his mods & hire new ones.
those are my thoughts. hope that helps. sorry for writing a fucking novel.
>sorry for writing a fucking novel.
Np. I read it.
> the pastebin presents a higher barrier of entry and i think it scares many anons away who could otherwise create the next bread with relative ease.
True. For now, hypothetically, one could simply copy/paste >>38334
I think there is utility in having a concise OP w/ useful and relevant info. But to your credit I'll admit I agree not that many anons know or care about why the general is the way it is - and no wonder, I mean, that's natural/fine and they shouldn't have to. But that doesn't mean it's not an important issue - just saying.
Current general thread OPs do more to hinder than help our efforts. Plain and simple. They've got to go.

>>>/b/7690922
like i said, i wasn't trying to criticize the newfags. i was just trying to help explain what i saw, and present ideas i thought might streamline it a little.
> But that doesn't mean it's not an important issue - just saying.
i'm not sure what you mean here

i didn't change much. just updated the Q posts, added a link to the new /OPS/ general in the "Tasks" section and an extra highlight for /OPS/ near the top since it's new. also added a pointer to some "side by side" memes, but it could use a few more examples if they're going to be linked in the /general/ OP at all
Requesting somebaker delete the redtext OPs thread notice, since it's inconsistent with rest + already linked in accordance w/ rest elsewhere within the post.
>>49846
>>56269
What is the purpose of the general OP? What is it supposed to do? Boost morale? Okay, that's accomplished thusly:
>HAVE FAITH.
>YOU WERE CHOSEN FOR A REASON.
>YOU ARE BEING PROVIDED THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF INTEL TO EVER BE DROPPED PUBLICLY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
>USE IT - PROTECT AND COMFORT THOSE AROUND YOU.
>WHERE WE GO ONE, WE GO ALL.
>Q
What else should it do? It should be a functional, efficient directory of useful information. This is accomplished via the sections: Q's board; Latest Q-posts; Board rules; FAQ; Quick acess tools; Resources library; Recent/notable posts; Tasks.
Notice current dough is filled with superfluous text that disrupts the flow of that information - and its wildly and inconsistently variable font size and coloration doesn't help either.
Some of it restates well-known information that already is or could/should be available elsewhere - and linked in the OP itself. That way users are free to preview and pursue it at their discretion, and it isn't forced as clutter on those who don't need it. For example, while the below is good news, since morale's been addressed previously there is no clear utility in its inclusion in the OP nor any reason why it couldn't instead be included in, say, the FAQ (or anywhere else, I don't care):
>There are over 9,294 sealed indictments in federal courts from 10/30 to 12/22. Each set as a remote explosive in the take down of the worlds largest syndicate of evil.
>There have been Thousands of pedophilia-related arrests and sting operations since the day Trump got into office. Millions of children have been saved by stopping this now.
>As of January 4, 2018, 39 representatives will not seek re-election to their U.S. House districts and an additional 12 have announced upcoming resignations.
>Over 40 CEO's of major companies have or announced their resignations.
>There are no coincidences.
(Last line is worthless, as per below: who is it trying to convince? We all already know this.)
Some of it is also completely worthless given that, again, morale has already been addressed at the beginning of the OP. For example, the following contains nothing particularly useful and was clearly only added because some individual found it subjectively appealing:
>>Perhaps he could not in good conscious see the world burn.
>Can you?
>Suit up lads, we will have Peace through the Strength of our Understanding and give Clarity through our Memetic Spread.
>You know what to do.
>“Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of the body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.” ― Thomas Jefferson
>We are the dot connectors. We are the excavators of obscured facts. We are who we've been waiting for our whole lives. We are the Storm, and we are the Calm Center inside it.
(This encompasses 10 lines, including blanks, and 3 colors and 2 sizes of both bold and plain text)
Other portions of it are incorrectly designated as separate sections, when they would better fit within an existing one. This contributes to information overload which, ultimately, is the problem with all of this that I hope to hereby resolve. For example, OPS general should go under resources or tasks just like various other threads - if you wish to indicate its relative importance, simply place it higher-up on the list where it's more visible. There is no reason why it merits a separate category all its own, which obfuscates the OP overall and artificially inflates its own importance.
As I was banned for trying to explain this last night, I should clarify I'm not trying to sow any kind of discord. I genuinely believe in the importance of having a highly functional, readable and efficient OP - which several others have added, they've enjoyed. I want the best for this place and its researchers. I do not believe it is in our own best interest to have an OP that is in any way difficult to navigate. I believe that hinders readability, usability, and ultimately research.
If somebaker reads this and finds it reasonable and to their liking, I'd suggest adding it to the dough as a guide to other bakers. I have experience as an editor and personally curate the FAQ, and am willing to add to it as needed. Let's work together for a better bread. You can reach me here or
Final thoughts in closing:
>Whatever Trump tweets about gains an enormous amount of attention.
>Q has exemplified how calculated every word can be.
>So lets follow the direction of our Masterful Tactician.
>As Trump Trolls, We will Redpill.
>Topic for topic, we will pry open the Overton window.
>For all to see how sickening the world really is, but more importantly, how great it can be.
We already understand this and there is no reason why this can't or shouldn't be summed up in a single sentence.
>SHOW the WORLD the TRUTH.
>OPEN THEIR EYES.
>DON'T LET POTUS SUFFER FROM THE SOROS/LOSER BOTS THAT CONTINUALLY FLOOD.
>MAKE THE FAKE NEWS AWARDS YOUR 1ST ORGANIZED TWEET STORM DAY.
>MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
>Q
Literally just a random Q-quote because…? Morale has been addressed.
>Patriots, let Loose the Memes of War.
>The fate of your countrymen is at hand.
Again, for like the 4th time: morale has already been addressed.
>Our goal is simple:
>To assure your family, loved ones and friends that we're all in very good hands. [YOU ARE THE KEYSTONE TO THIS PLAN].
>[The Q / Trump coded communications are] perfect. Plausible deniability to the world yet ultimate confirmation to us.
This is addressed in the FAQ. No one here needs to be told what our general goal is and if they do, they need to read the fucking FAQ!
This is not a game.
Thank you.
>For example, OPS general should go under resources or tasks
i hate when i do that - click to upload the reply before i'm finished
the only reason i added a new line higher up in my OP pastebin was to highlight the new OPS general. i only intended it to take up that space for 24 hours at most. it was meant to be a temporary highlight, but most bakers probably err on the side of caution and keep things intact, instead only adding new things. which of course contributes to a cluttered OP.
i'm new compared to other bakers, and i consider it someone else's decision what form the template for the main general thread takes.
it could also be that anon used an older copy to create a thread, and bakers since him have just been copying what was already there.
Yeah I don't read anything nefarious into the bakers actions, generally. I believe most/all of them genuinely want to do a good job, and help researchers. That said, and like you said, they're leery about making changes - understandably so. Fair enough, but I think I have a point. And so I suggested adding my remarks to bread, to guide them. If anyone has an issue they can take it up with me, then - not their fault. And if I'm wrong I'm willing to admit it, but so far, I've not seen persuasive evidence I am.
Not to argue with you or anything. Just saying. Kudos.
using the one i was given #76 -
pastebin.com/4KMyngbg as a template, i restructured it into #77 - pastebin.com/i0qLJFdY
changelog from 76 to 77 is as follows:
-major format changes, complete restructuring. 76 pastebin was 2 posts long without comments.
-i kept it as a 2 post structure, but all the higher priority items were moved to the OP and lower priority/off topic items moved to the 2nd post.
-removed LOTS of whitespace
-added commas to the list of example memes so that the links would display properly
-removed a few dead links
-removed the Q raw text dump as anon >>64754 said it was determined to be worthless
-added noteworthy post
-trimmed the list of "recent Q posts"
-included some thematic music videos
-added the standard baker comments back into the pastebin
i think splitting it into the 2 post main OP/off topic 2nd post might be a good format. the anons who want to get down to business (hopefully) have everything they need in the OP without being distracted by the different colors and lesser priority items. the anons who want the extra items still have it available. and if a baker doesn't want to include the extra items, he can just copy the OP post and leave the 2nd post alone.
Looks/sounds good to me.

adding anon's request here so that it doesn't go down the memory hole
Gameplan Wednesday
OKAY FOLKS LISTEN UP
THIS IS OUR GAME PLAN
Quick rundown: Phase I is pushing #greatawakening and #wethepeople early wednesday morning. When twitter kills it we switch to Phase II the #FakeNewsAwards, plus Trump should be tweeting about that during the evening (I suspect) which means it will trend no matter what. We set the ground stage for that. Phase III can be done Wednesday night and onwards. We highjack other trending hashtags and post somewhat related images/memes to redpill unsuspecting normies.
— PHASE I —
How to make things trend on twitter:
We decide a #hashtag
>voting is taking place here: http:// www.strawpoll.me/14832174/r
< #GreatAwakening and #WeThePeople are top votes. #FakeNewsAwards will be part of Phase II. Standby.
We pick a day and time we want this to trend
>Wednesday morning/afternoon
Which means you have to begin pushing the hashtag very early in the a.m.
>Anons should begin dropping around 4-5am EST
< Keep dropping memes steady throughout the a.m. Even if you don't see it trending. KEEP DOING IT. NEVER STOP. ALL DAY!
VERY FUCKING IMPORTANT ^
You need 2-3 thousand unique tweets with the hashtag in a short amount of time
Pictures and content-rich tweets with one or two agreed upon #'s
Original tweets help trend things faster than just simply retweeting things. Likes don't really count for much.
Tweets with a ton of hashtags sometimes don't count because spam filters. Keep it simple and limited.
Follow all Q accounts, follow back all Q accounts.
> Create your network to help retweet and comment on
Twitter will try to throttle it
>TWITTER ALWAYS TRIES TO KILL RIGHT WING #'S
< We will move to Phase II when see see this happening.
— PHASE II —
Once twitter kills a trending hashtag its very hard to make it trend again.
> It can have thousands of tweets and suddenly disappear from the trending tab.
#GreatAwakening and #WeThePeople is Phase I, early morning. #FakeNewsAwards happen next.
>We will set the stage for FakeNewsAwards. Trump will tweet about this which will make it trend no matter what.
< WE ARE HIS FRONT LINE
Continue dropping examples of fake news, bad journalism, and their lies.
> RESOURCE FOR THIS IS: https:// imgur.com/gallery/Skill
< ^ Tons of examples in that imgur album. Download and prepare.
Eventually this too will die down
> We move to Phase III
— PHASE III —
This will be after #FakeNewsAwards happens and dies down.
Throughout the rest of the night and into the next days find hashtags that are currently trending and tweet our memes and info using their #'s
> HIJACK HIJACK HIJACK!
It helps if the memes you're posting on a # is relevant to the subject matter.
You can also find large twitter accounts (celebs, journalists, people in media/politics) and reply to their new tweets with our memes/info.
> You will get blocked, attacked, and harassed. Report the harassers and move on.
>If you see another Q poster under attack, comment and help out. Defend each other.
Keep this up over the following days. Remember, keep things simple, don't get angry and resort to personal attacks like the left does, and remember to always take the high ground. Not everyone can be saved.
from Harvester;
Baker, suggest you delete all the the text below Image Libraries >>65507 and replace with the latest.
>>67231
>>67275
It is simply too confusing to have multiple versions of the same info, some current and some obsolete. Our focus categories are constantly changing and what was current in #54 is no longer current.

No, I'm not baking right now. I'm trying to sleep (and failing, obviously). I had the graveyard shift. Won't bake again until the a.m.
Any Bakers around on this thread that want to take over. I have the helm until then. At ease, gentlemen.
What I like about Q's 'riddling' format is the opportunity to get his 'wall of text' riddles and post a complete answer to his latest infodump(s), then read other people's ideas and try to synthesize.
My biggest criticism of the way qresearch is laid out is that there are very topic-specific threads. I'd prefer a few threads on chronological 'chunks' at least in addition to the subject-specific, depth-first threads. Q's way of bringing together disparate ideas seems more of a breadth-first exercise.
Thinking about making a pastebin with just the basic OP and simplified instructions at the top to handhold a newfag through an emergency bake. Full time bakers would be responsible for keeping it current and maybe linking the current one in the OP. If done well enough it could prevent some of the steps mods have to take when an emergency bake is made with nothing in it. On the other hand, like I mentioned above, having a pastebin at all presents a higher barrier to entry.
Thoughts? Input? Criticisms?
need some help making cuts to the dough brothers.
not sure where things were when you posted this, but looking at the current general thread >>102968 some things have already been cut. i'll just toss out some general advice about what can be trimmed, though, in my opinion.
look at Q posts. how many are linked? how recent are they? check each Q post and ask yourself if it's a fair assumption that everyone has had enough time to check read them. ask yourself if the Q posts currently linked are relevant right now.
look at the "recent/notable posts" section. grade their importance and prioritize them. as an example, this one is currently linked and can got tossed in the bin:
" >>73810 Anon redpills his campus with 800 posters"
it was great at the time, worth being highlighted, but there's no long term value in it cluttering up the dough.
keep all the tools and resource library links intact. keep all the "current tasks" links intact, but don't be afraid to look them over and make sure they are still relevant.
ask yourself if some of the items mentioned can be consolidated. 2 examples come to mind for this. i put the /OPS/ general and the /Meme War Room/ on the same line to save space:
" >>47341 ←– Memes War Room & /OPS/ General –→ >>47062"
the 2nd example that comes to mind is regarding the meme mega libraries and hashtag instructions for the twitter army (these are no longer listed in the current OP, but the concept still applies). these could potentially be made into their own post somewhere (/OPS/ thread?) and have a single line entry in the bread pointing to it. this same concept could also apply to a section that is in the current OP, pic related. if we're striving for a lean & trim bread, that's valuable real estate being taken up that could be devoted to other things.
basically just prioritize. ask yourself if it's relevant, if it has long term value, if it can be pointed to instead of being displayed ... things like that. that's how i do it when i want to trim it down.
currently blackpilled. i'll be back if/when that changes
Memes are killing the research thread and forum sliding, need to seperate memes and research.

anon from the general, are you here?
Yo
cool. first things first, do you already know how to create a thread? if so, you're farther along than some anons. sorry if that question is insulting to you, but whatever. anyway, you'll need a copy of the pic we use for the general threads first off. there are only 2 other things you need. you need to understand how the pastebin works. and you need to monitor the current thread for updates…
the pastebin (or ghostbin) is your text based template that gives you the proper formatting.
currently, the pastebin that just got handed off is
pastebin.com/YW8mzjsP
i just took over as baker, so you'll have to be patient with me, trying to monitor the main at the same time. take a quick look through the pastebin, notice the formatting marks like double equal signs for red, triple single quotes for bold, etc.
brb
the pastebin used to have extra comments in it to help explain things, but it doesn't anymore. we could add them back in, but the ones of us who bake don't need them, so we kinda don't care.
pay attention in the pastebin to the middle somewhere there will be an extra line noting the page break
////////////////////////// next post /////////////////////////
or something like that. the OP is everything above that, with all the q posts and morale message, etc. as soon as you've created the thread, make a new post with everything underneath that, containing the notable posts, current tasks, etc. that's the easy part of baking
actually making the posts is pretty easy. you just copy the text from the pastebin, and paste it into the text box. of course you'll need to think of "or ask for suggestions" a title to put into the "Subject" field. name your thread Q Research General #XXX - Whatever Title You Want Edition
adding quote tags is quite literal. the only hard part, if you're really new is if it's a cross-board link. if it's a post inside /qresearch/ you only need 2 greater than signs followed immediately by the post number (no spaces). if you're trying to link to /greatawakening/ then you need 3 greater than signs, a slash, greatawakening, another slash, then the post number. like this:
>>12345 (i don't know what post this is, but it's one inside /qresearch/)
if you mess it up, you'll know because it won't display properly
>12345
>> 12345
>>12345
>>>greatawakening/35
>>>/greatawakning/35
the hardest part about baking, IMO, isn't making the post. it's monitoring the thread for updates. when you find an update that needs included, whether it be a new Q post, a new "notable" post, new instructions from the war room, etc. you need to add that to your pastebin. i keep a browser window open the entire time i'm baking just for the pastebin, so that i can make changes to it. some bakers use notepad or gedit. basically, you have a copy open that you can make edits to somewhere. right before you're ready to create the next thread, you lock it in. you take your copy that's still being edited, and you save the file - whether that being local on your hard drive, or saving it as a new pastebin/ghostbin file in the cloud. that saved file is your template that you use to make the next thread with
also see:
the faster a thread moves, the more likely it is that you'll miss something. if it's important enough, anons will sperg out until you fix it. if you've lurked long enough, and you said you have, then it should be easy for you to spot which posts are important enough to get a mention and which ones aren't.
depending on the pace of the thread, you'll have to create the next thread sooner rather than later. me, i usually make the next one when the current one is sitting around 675-720, depending on the pace. but i never link to it until approx post 730-740, because people start spamming with useless replies just to fill the current thread. it won't hurt anything to create the next thread too early. just don't link it until the current one is almost full. but make sure you link it before the current one is filled.
if you want to play around, go to >>>/test/
it's a board just for testing things out. when i want to check my post formatting, i go there and pick the last thread in the catalog, and sage my post. but whatever works for you to get the desired results
for pastebin, there's a button near the bottom that says "create new paste". click that, and it saves the pastebin. if you're using ghostbin, there's a button on the top right that has a save icon. click that one. some of us have been using ghostbin since about a week ago pastebin decided we were spam. lmao. but the bakers who have a pastebin account it doesn't make them fill out a captcha or anything. once you've saved the pastebin, it gives you the link. as a convenience to other bakers, in case you need to hand it off to the next guy, you should include the link to your pastebin file either at the bottom of your 2nd post, or as a new reply as early as possible in the new bread
THIS
the threads move so fast especially when shills or a set of chatty newfags arrive and its easy to miss crumbs when scanning to catch up
Yes thank you! Big help.
But, more seriously…
