Come to think of it, I don't think entering your email actually did anything. Have it one way it the other! Though personally, I'd prefer the email way.

So...
what can we put in the email section and what will it do?

Why can't we do new subjects mid-thread already? While you're at it, throw in Message-ID, In-Reply-To, and X-Sage.

I'm completely serious about this by the way. I'd love a messageboard that basically runs entirely through SMTP, but maybe it isn't meant to be. The website hosting it could act as an archive, interface (for embedded images and stuff), and mail agent.

Well obviously there's sage (it doesn't make a visible difference though, so it might be hard to notice), but I've confirmed that actual email addresses don't work by testing it. Maybe the admin is planning on implementing more functions in the future.

I actually had this exact idea, and I posted it somewhere I can't remember now (probably 4chan /g/) and everyone just shot down the idea.
The main argument was that that's basically what mailinglists already are. I guess some of them allow attached images/media too.

>>3
In addition to sage you can put a post number in there and it'll make a sort of sub-post

>>6
A mailing list is exactly what I want. I've been looking for social mailing lists, but I've been unable to find any. Interesting thing about the sub-post feature though, I figured that was just a way for tabamin to publicly tag posts. I guess that covers the "In-Reply-To" thing then.

idk, I've never used usenet but most general mailinglists I've seen just seem to turn into the same whiny political shit as anywhere else

Maybe because the world is garbage and needs to be fixed.

Not everything needs to be a warzone. If you want to bitch about politics there's a zillion different platforms to do it on

Ah so that's why putting my email in didn't work. I was just expecting what was on the tin.

An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.

A dick anywhere is a dick in your mouth

I hate that line of logic. Human beings aren't ants. We need downtime and recreation if we want to function. If you're always at eleven and putting all of your passion into every aspect of your life, sooner or later it's going to start negatively affecting you. All of the /pol/ and tumblr people are nutcases for that very reason; they're driving themselves insane with stress

>>15
That would be a good point if that wasn't the everyday existence of people of color. Fix it by destroying white supremacy.

Can you please stop with the baiting? It's blatantly obvious what you're doing

Truth isn't bait. That's what you need to learn.

I'm pretty sure that's literally why 4taba has the "subpost" feature. It's to help throw a wrench in those pointless political discussions where people aren't actually "discussing" but are really just ranting at each other.
Just ignore them, and in the cases where you feel you have to respond then just respond as a subreply instead of a normal one.

Stop responding to them even indirectly. It doesnt matter whether they're /pol/ vermin trying to false flag or a genuine deranged ""left""-twitter vampire type, they feed on your attention either way.

Nice try, white people. You won't get away that easily.

weird, i thought this thread would be the one where taba-tan allowed emails to go through but it was one mostly unrelated to the email field.

what's wrong with putting your email in a post if its an anonymos one?

>>23
Nothing.
I wasn't around back when 4chan had an email field, but if you look at old /jp/ posts, you see people putting their actual emails all the time, as a means to contact others. I blame me not having any internet friends on moot removing the email field.

>>23
Because people who used the field for their actual email forgot the "anonymous" part and put in their real emails.

>>25
Literally where does it state that you can't enter your real email in there?

>>26
Nowhere. But everyone who did put in their real email got their inbox spammed with bullshit
