Okay I've already emailed about it but got no answer (surprise surprise) and we all know Mark doesn't read /metav/ so...

Okay I've already emailed about it but got no answer (surprise surprise) and we all know Mark doesn't read /metav/ so here goes:

Rule 7 is vague and all the generals currently up on the board could qualify as template threads because of the identical OPs from thread to thread, rewrite it and make the effort to clearly define what a template thread actually is.

Fire off something if you've actually read the email because otherwise a nigga's completely left in the dark and they start to think emailing you (even at your own behest) was a fucking waste of time like I'm currently thinking.

Rule 8 is broad but we already knew that.

Follow your own rules on replacing or deleting videos (only in the event of a monetized video) because if enough fucking monkeys who weren't going to watch it anyways start screeching about a webm completely regardless of whether or not the video is monetized then chances are it'll be replaced with a mixtape.moe link to a webm conversion. This problem I actually haven't seen in a decent while but it was frustrating to watch when it was going on and that "it's the principle of the thing!" bit holds no water if the people crying about it not being a webm don't even adhere to the original principle.

Adhere to your own bans on 4AM threads and LOL threads because every time I see a "foot put down" about it the very next day I see a 4AM or LOL thread seemingly unmolested, then they get ultra-cancerous all over again and the foot is "put down" and then nothing happens all over again. Keep your wrists straight on this one and commit to a decision for once in your Holla Forums career, either they're gone or they're not.

This place is dead anyway

Cry me a river niga.

Mate I don't care about the actual contents of those threads one way or another because I don't go in them, I just want him to stop pussyfooting around banning them and figure out if they're here to stay or if they're gone forever.

Give up

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Mark is constantly suffering from Cognitive Dissonance.
I personally don't mind LOL threads, but 4 AM threads are cancer incarnate and need to die.
Of course. The only people who want 4 AM threads are namefags themselves, Mark should just do force user and people will stop bitching

Just fucking hide the threads you nigger.

You need another cake for this. Jews understand only sound precious metal and goofy cakes.

...

People here are too fucking stupid to hide threads and use filters.

So, you're saying we should all pitch in for a lead and polonium lined cake?

I'm with this.

Also when's the next meta thread? did we ever make a consistent time or is it flip floppy like everything else mark does. Sage because meta unless mods decide to make it official.

I wish Mark would do something about all the Nintendrones roaming around as of late.

More like I'm smart enough to know that hiding problems only make them worse. Undertale threads are a great example. Filters enforce hugbox mentality and aren't going to save this shitty site.

Are you a dog or something? You should have realize they aren't coming.

They come and go. I'm certainly not going to make a thread if it's not vidya. Meta threads should be made by mods anyway. Also I'm not up to date with the shit going on here so I ask in case the mods already have a time

Flipfloppy like everything else, I do remember some "discontinuation" brought up months back but that was more a refusal to create any further threads with no actual announcement.

But the rules imply they should be made by users if needed. What are you going to do about it

???

To expensive.

How many times has Mark tried to purge 4 AM? Three? Four? He always backs out after a day or two.

You're right, what we need is more strict moderation. That turned out so great back on halfchan! Banning only the threads you don't like isn't enforcing a hugbox mentality at all!

Either accept the fact that people will sometimes make threads you don't like or fuck off to a forum where you can suck moderator dick more efficiently.

Have to make sure. I'm sure he'd just process regular toxic waste into obtaining an even larger ass.

...

...

Do you not know how it was before? Either way if there's an actual date system then the mods shouldn't miss it. I'm not saying anons shouldn't make meta threads if mods aren't I'm saying the mods should to begin with. That way we don't get a spastic OP with a shit opinion that we have to use because it already has 50 replies.

...

I repeat, are you a dog or something? They have "missed" the "date" some 194 times by now and you still haven't noticed.

>hey guys do you like this ice cream
Yeah sorry for not being tolerant of furfags, I need to be more open.
In other news I'm pretty sure you're a shitposter

...

More like we need faggots who don't get triggered at shit they don't like and know how to ignore it. Self moderation isn't just blocking shit you don't like you turbo fag. We're on the same side here dipshit. The only difference is that the only thing filtering and hiding serves to do is make things worse. It's a bandaid solution.
4am threads need to be purged because they're pointless. They serve nothing but a select few faggots egos. "filtering" that is useless because it's already obvious that they need to go.


I'm speaking how it should be you autist not the de-facto situation. Re-read what I posted and understand why it's a problem. If every user here decides they want to voice their opinion by making a meta thread we're going to be up to our ears in shitty opinions clogging up the catalog.

We've been in this system for at least 1 year and nothing has happened yet.

Are you seriously fucking butthurt that you couldn't make your own undertale thread?

The general devolved into complete shit because it's a fucking 5 hour long game with very little to actually discuss. If your separate thread dies it's because nobody wants to talk about whatever you wanted to talk about.

If you filter them you don't have to see or interact with them at all. The only thing that would happen if you remove them at this point is those faggot egos would start bitching and moaning all over the board instead of in their containment thread.

I think someone once said "we need faggots who don't get triggered at shit they don't like and know how to ignore it"

Probably because Holla Forums is fucking dying. I'm not against the idea so long as shit doesn't go…well to shit. In a site with more people this would go to shit. Right now though I'de prefer it if mods did it. I mean they won't of course but again, de-facto. Either way, recommending that anons "express their criticism" by making a thread on fucking Holla Forums is inherently a bad idea and you should know why.

There is that whole problem of a thread being about the only way to catch the attention of the mod team at large to consider

I think someone once said "If we let namefags run wild in a single thread they'll just run wild on all threads"
We've also had furfag derail normal threads because, ta-dam, /furry/ still exists even if we ignore them.

I mean we're trying out this "You can just filter it" joke and we have been for the last 3 years and I really haven't seen anything nice coming out of it, maybe its time to admit you're wrong?

They're probably not even awake right now. Another problem with these threads being made by users. The criticisms probably won't reach half of them.

Because of your "could be's" and "haven't-happened-yets", I suppose?

This meta thread is better than all Holla Forums meta monday threads combined because having anons do it means we don't have problems that have to be kept quiet days-after-days and we don't generate reddit/SA hotspots for subversion.

Oh my god, a shitposter derailing threads? That's unheard of! My apologies, you're right. Clearly nuking a containment thread or board would prevent that from ever happening in the future.

You say this but I don't remember any furry raid after /fur/ was deleted on 4chan.
C'mon everyone

I did filter them you moron. And guess what? We started getting Ritsu posting in the webm thread, the LOL thread and random ones as well. Then other name fags started posting outside the 4m thread and it was obvious we had a problem. It was only until Mark started fucking around with the name system and banning namefags on the spot that they finally receded back to their containment thread. I shouldn't be reciting our problems to you faggot. Filtering has been on Holla Forums forever now and it hasn't helped a drop. If you're so keen on hugbox mentality go to reddit where you can have your opinions judged by an arrow.


Re-read my posts. I'm not inherently against anons posting meta threads but only because the mods aren't doing it. If the volunteers actually started doing it I wouldn't care.


Funnily enough, when you get rid of the source of problems, the problems usually diminish and go away. It's like killing the leader in a battle. Fucks up the rest of the hive. 4am isn't shitposting. If the 4am threads were removed we would get 1 or 2 months of 1 or 2 angry autists recreating the thread until they got the message that they weren't welcome. And that's the worst case scenario.

Did we fucking post on the same website?

Do you not remember the hardblush spam or the "hey ervyone whats up gamboys" threads or the fact that /vp/ basically became furry porn central? Furfag shitposters aren't going to magically disappear because you made their board go away, especially since their particular brand of shiposting seems to work since you're so riled up about it.

The difference between /fur/ and the 4am threads is that the 4am threads are at most, 6 people at this point. 2 of which are actually devoted enough to spend more than 2 weeks actually bothering with this shit. You act like it takes more than 1 devoted enough person with more a little more than 20 minutes of tech savvy person to completely nuke the catalog. When the 4am threads were removed before we had 1 person posting the new 4am threads once per night. This entire drama we've been having about the 4am threads is so lop-sided it's laughable.

The amount of cognitive dissonance you have to have to simultaneously say "things that I dont like should have to go away" and bitch about hugbox mentality in the same posts repeatedly is staggering.

The thing you seem not to get is these things aren't the source of the problems. /furry/ is not the source of all furfags and 4AM threads are not the source of all attention seeking autists.

Like fucking christ, how long have you actually been posting on image boards? Do you not remember the endless fucking attention seeking tripfags? Did you not somehow learn to deal with them in the fucking decade plus since halfchan's conception? Or are you one of the retards who would go into tripfag threads and spam sage posts in the same way someone would fight a fire by throwing gasoline on it?

What seriously needs to go is this bullshit about not being allowed to remake generals until they are on the fucking last page.
You stupid fucking kike don't you realize once the thread hits bump limit it's population instantly dies down because SURPRISE ITS NOT HIGH ON THE CATALOG ANYMORE YOU DUMB FUCK

The thing you don't understand is that there's 0 reason to remove 4am threads do you? You really think namefags post constantly outside of them aside from Val? No shit the source of attentionfags aren't the 4am threads. Should I also say that the webm threads aren't the source of webms? Are you really this retarded? I said they were the source of a problem. The problem being namefags and a general of a catalog that's serving as a seedbed for more autistic namefags.

I've always told them to fuck off when they wern't asked for or needed. If you're going to try and assume that I think this is a new problem to hit the image boards then you're acting more like a spastic retard than I thought.

DING DING DING DING
THERE'S THE PROBLEM YOU RETARD
Ignoring them doesn't mean telling them to fuck off, ignoring them means IGNORING THEM.

And no, I don't think removing the 4AM threads would do anything for the quality of this board, because what would happen is even if those particular namefags fucked off more like-minded individuals will pop up anyway. The fucking mentality of people like that is not exclusive to 4am threads. If tomorrow Mark said "no 4am threads every again and all 4am posters are now IP banned" the only thing that would happen is a month from now a new groups of faggots will have taken hold in some other general and you'll be bitching about it again. And every time the mods have to come in and remove something to keep you from having a bitch fit you're telling them "Yes, please meddle more with people posts here because I am too fucking retarded and childish to ignore something that I dislike."

Fucking kill yoursef OP

I find it funny sometimes, at the autism needed to spend hours debating ideology and semantics on a board discussing vidya games.


I ignore shitposting. I tell namefags who won't go away to fuck off because ignoring them clearly didn't work.

And the rest of your post is garbage. You really don't understand that the 4am threads almost purely consist of namefags because it's the only place they can post. If they tried to take up residence in the LOL thread they would be laughed out of it before week 2 of purging them. And if they kept it up Mark could just do what he did prior and banned the names from being used. Either way the answer isn't a simple one. I do know that ignoring them never has and never will work though. How many Undertale autists do you see posting gay furshit these days? I don't see much at all. Seriously fuck off newfag. Every time you think you have a solution it just shows how everything you've recommended has been tried and failed already.

This. Let's all go to 16chan

Here's an idea, why not turn all the generals into cyclical threads?

Why have generals in the first place? Might as well make Holla Forums a forum instead of an IB.

You want shitty generals constantly stuck at the top of the catalog? You should know why this is a terrible idea I'm only replying in case you're actually serious.

Working as intended, no change required.

It didn't work because you're not fucking ignoring them you retard. They want attention. Any kind of attention. Telling them to fuck off is just validating them and makes them want to being annoying faggots even longer because you gave them what they want.

And do you know why that is? Because they have their own board now, you fucking moron. You know what I do remember? Someone started fucking with their board because they didn't like them and wanted them to leave and then they started spamming shit on Holla Forums again until the butthurt faggot bitching about them stopped fucking with their board.

Better than 2 or 3 generals of the same shit on the catalog, or maybe not.

It's marks board culture xdee

Because immortal generals tend toward cancer.
Just look at halfchan /vg/.
3245 THREADS AND COUNTING

...

namefags and their shitty circlejerks shouldn't be allowed on Holla Forums
end of story

???

Try a year.

It's almost like they never would have done that if they still had their general here.

Apparently you follow their drama more than I do but I never heard of this happening. I like how you're assuming I'm "for" somebody not wanting them on their own board. I don't care what autists do on another board, just so long as they don't bring it here. If this "someone" started getting mad because of it then they were in the wrong. I do like how you're structuring your argument around 1 persons extreme case of extreme autism as a guideline for how things should work though. It only proves how wrong you are.


It's the same thing but instead those 2 or 3 generals would always be at the top of the catalog.

Nintendo Thr– whoops.

Please become mod.

ROB is actually endearing and doesn't use the name as a method of enjoyment rather than circlejerking. And I'm sure if a good amount of us told him to stop he would. Unlike most namefags he actually uses the name field for the purpose of entertainment rather than pointlessly blogging in a thread for attention.

and uses the name as a method of enjoyment*

that's exactly what he does

Point me to the spot where he discusses his living conditions and current relationships being shit for the entire thread? He's putting on a little play, not pushing his feelings on others for empty sympathy.

thankfully he hasn't posted a thread in a while so I don't have to go digging through one, since they are pure autismal attention whoring

So you're shitposting? Ok then.

you're the one actually defending a tripfag

So you have anything else to say? You wanna get it out all in 1 post or something?

Remember user:

It's

...

I just wish this place was actually about video games and not filled with drive-by shitposters who don't even play games.

Go ahead and ban non-vidya webms because honestly it's just 4 guys having a dump war between fucking MADs, an Autistic dude pretending to eat hotdogs, nigger vids and recently a guy trying to convert us to Christianity.

We aren't 4chan, we aren't brimming with users to the point where moderation doesn't work and the way things are going we're losing people anyway. Just fucking save this place from becoming a "funposting" hell hole please.

there is also someone running it's own mini tv channel in 12mb webm format

That dude needs to help populate Holla Forums because honestly, they need it.

Ban thing I don't like!

...

what the hell happened to this place?
