Meta Thread

now we see the real reason for this discussion

I mean it sucks that I'm probably wiretapped and they can see my giant robot porn, but still.
MEME ENGINEERS

Or they're just shitposting faggots.

IS NOTHING SACRED!?

anyway i'm so happy to have you as my BO and that i love Azooka so much

...

It's pretty obvious that certain people who scream Holla Forums boogeyman are doing it just to stir shit, if certain things are to believed they could legit be here to D&C instead of simply baiting. It probably goes the other way too but people screaming Holla Forums are much more prevalent.

So long as you don't ban minor politically relevant posting completely or stop us from discussing politics when it's relevant to the thread, I don't mind if total off topic derailments are cleaned up.

RAISE THE BUMP LIMIT MARK

Don't worry Mark, I'll take care of the Globalists.

What's the alternative? Even if it's all being directed by one autist with a high post count in the thread, and he gets reported, and his posts are deleted, all anyone will see is a bunch of missing replies from the thread and will go find another one that hasn't been sullied by moderation

Did I miss a Klonoa thread?

fuck you mark /vcollins/

I've found my calling, where do I sign up?

Did you not read my post? REPORT

(checked)
(unchecked ha)
I don't mind Holla Forums, as long as there only are a few posts about it and the thread doesn't disintegrate into said poopposting parade. Then just ban the user who started the discussion as quick as possible and anyone who still decides to participate get the banhammer as well. Personally I get more annoyed by the /christian/ spammer in the WEBM-threads.

you can, I'm sure the majority of threads don't have the Holla Forums crap/. It's an issue we have, but not as widespread as it seems.

100%, we WANT to clean up the off topic derailments more. However we need more people reporting it so we're aware.

I'm not a furry.

That would mean he'd have to actually set limits to what is and isn't too much politics or related to the thread and we know that that don't going to happen. It's just going to be another rule like the template one that's enforced half-assedly and only by some.

Did you read further than three words into mine? Nuking the thread and nuking one poster in the thread aren't too different, the real problem is that people are retarded

...

Not with that attitude you aren't.

:^)

I'm pretty sure it's been an ongoing problem even before I got dibs on Holla Forums.

The political shit has to go. It doesn't matter what it is or by who, it just shits up threads.

kike

the goldwater cracks me up

But everyone hates each other in this hellhole

I personally don't mind derailers being dealt with honestly. Just keep doing what you been doing and don't go full pantsu/HipToBeSqaure with it.

Shut up fag I don't hate you

You kinda have to do the same for normal shitposting derailments, it's very difficult to specify where exactly the line is or count posts to find it.

You can also just do friendly banter that everyone enjoys, or total bait shitting that nobody enjoys. But it's extremely difficult to put into words what the difference is in practice.

For all we know it is literally the CIA trying out their meme department

When are you going to stream yourself eating cake batter ice cream?

I don't hate everyone.

What I mean their "point" is shitposting, the D&C is just a bonus for them or some shit.

i'm pretty sure it's the other way around ; d&c is the point , shitposting while doing it is the bonus

Why haven't you banned what I like yet? You should just ban the fucking 4am threads already and send them to the board set up for it. It's a fucking pathetic mockery of what it was last year at this time.

pretty much hit the nail on the head. political derailment is still derailment, it's against the rules and should be dealt with.

but I don't want to ban this thing you don't like.

We are as one. There is no hate.

what a time to be alive

That shitty mentality has been getting much worse these days.

...

...

/a/ tier

The users should be able to moderate themselves.

Just please delete 'hurr go back to Holla Forums' and 'hurr go back to Holla Forums' on sight while giving everyone involved a warning

I shouldn't even have to report this shit for the mods to get into action, do you guys even browse through threads which you don't normally bother with? I did an experiment concerning that on an Overwatch general recently:

One of the newer posts in that thread was nothing but redtext spam containing nothing but FUCKOVERWATCHFUCKOVERWATCH etc. after which I reported it for spam. Some five minutes later, one of the mods deletes the post and gives the guy a ban for spam according to the board log. Yet before that spam post was made, someone already posted a roll image which already had a dozen or so replies at a time, so a mod must've entered the thread seeing that roll image and then only did something about the redtext spammer.
So then I report the roll image guy, and a few minutes later another mod steps in and deletes the roll image post while giving its poster a ban for roll images, as only then he proceeds to clear out the rest of the shitposts from the Overwatch general.

And that's why I can't help but wonder if you fags intentionally ignore posts you are indecisive about whether they actually break the rules until someone actually takes issue with them. If that is the stance your hotpocket team has been taking then that explains a fucking lot. I can understand hotpockets not being able to clean up shit 24/7, but given how I sincerely doubt that the majority of users in this board actually report shitposts, it's no surprise how much you rely on reports to not come off as doing it for free when dealing with posts that aren't blatantly shit.

I've been trying that and I find you guys do alright with it. I still have issues lol threads and think we would do much better by getting rid of them but I will give it to you that you tend to remove the absolute shit threads when reported.
I recall this image of what kind of bait to use on what boards, you should sticky that and and remind anons to report, hide, and move on.

The loudest voice will always win, and the loudest voice will always be from the one trying to shit up the place.

Who said I didn't like it?

Deus Ex was right again.

There's literally nothing wrong with not being able to talk about certain things.

Self-moderation only works on a board like /tg/ that has quality posters. If you try it on Holla Forums, you get endless shitposting in threads about games the person doesn't like while people scream to the mods about how the board is shit.

It's pretty obvious the Holla Forums userbase is unable to moderate itself.

Holla Forums has gone to shit for the past 4 months because of autists posting nonsensical posts and mods (like you) banning people for criticizing your favorite threads even when they were low-quality or evocative of Something Awful.

This isn't Holla Forums's fault, it's your fault.

Nobody even knows what the GoldWater is. Why does Jim still shill it? If he wanted to make money, he could push 8ch to the /r/the_donald audience so as to get lots of traffic. Glad he pushes his silly news org instead

...

Holla Forums tier

Holla Forumsidiots couldn't moderate themselves even if they tried.

I would be surprised if M/a/rk hasn't been an /a/ regular for years. They are just a bunch of fat jews anyway.

I sexually identify as the goon boogeyman and I can confirm that we are in the minority, Holla Forums is likely responsible for the recent attacks. Did you know that they are the 3rd most popular board now? Fuggen gommies are proliferating at a rapid rate here.

wew

Where did it all go wrong?

It's because they're adverting the board on Reddit so they can get a larger population to be able to raid the rest of the site.

You could have prevented this.

AFAIK both of them come in here and shit up the board with political arguments, but whereas Holla Forums is limited to just name calling and dropping "cuck" and "kike" in their posts, Holla Forums goes full blown "muh pol boogeyman" unprovoked. It could very possibly be /int/ shitting the board to try and get a reaction from both, but there was this one guy who was definitely a commie and had a "what communist games do you know of" thread five times in a row after getting it deleted.

Sadly its true, there are actual bloggers working for the Guardian shilling for Holla Forums

It's literally just Holla Forums. They're a foreign presence in themselves, since they recruit from various commie hubs and go against the body politic of the site.

...

there's a difference between going full hotpocket and being fair about things. We have specific rules that were made in order to keep the peace, action and consequence also play a factor into this. Like say I wouldn't ban someone who didn't spoiler their lewds for 3 days, however I WOULD ban a spammer for 3 days. It's like how do we balance our actions vs the consequence, right now I think we have a decent system. Most bans are usually only an hour long and we delete the shitposting after the ban.

We don't ignore them, we just don't know about them until someone reports it. like for example I'm talking in this meta thread so I can't seen what's going on in the Nihongo learning thread. So while some of us ARE looking at that thread, I wouldn't be.

meta spam=/=criticizing

keep it out of the ROB thread yee faget.

I barely used /a/, I was always a Holla Forums and /sp/ guy.

Looking forward to Nier user?

I would agree if it wasn't for the fact that moonman bans anyone on Holla Forums who leans towards the left.

Or could be the more simple answer, just autistic shitposting.

also

:^)

why not both?

If people are stupid enough to fall for D&C tactics maybe they deserve the fucking drama.

The worst part is that Chodemonkey is a regular there
This is some Yuri Bezmenov-tier shit

I recognize that the image is both old and subject to disinformation, but there's something humorous about the /mlp/ average being short and obese virgins by a larger variation.

I kind of want to make a survey for Holla Forums now.

Any forum that is not explicitly right-wing will become explicitly left-wing. There are no exceptions.

Holla Forums is run by kikes and mulattoes who have a vested interest in turning the board into a caricature of itself, what else is new?

t. natsoc who got banned from Holla Forums for being a shill

Threads I've made I've tolerated but kept the politics under control outside of bullying Jews and hating libtards or cucks.

It probably is

Didn't it come out today? Or a few weeks ago?

You don't want to do that, I have no interest in learning how young and short everyone is

Rob thread?

What I'm talking about goes back to the AlphaBlaster days mang.

They are a right wing-board, that's why there's Holla Forums.

I agree with all of that except
Not everyone is in it "just for the memes, lol SJWs" user.

it came out last tuesday, I'm just waiting for the PC port.

So you're such a faggot you don't have a quarter of the board open in your tabs at any one time?

Don't forget that a couple of people on /sudo/ actually used Holla Forums as a replacement for the board for a few threads in order to try to get a response. They didn't get a response.

more like

I got perma banned for making a joke about the mods being like reddit mods.

You can't be serious.

I haven't really checked it out

Can confirm, the niggers moderating that place bumplocked a thread about fucking American infrastructure policy.

Because the Holla Forums mod is such a staggering model of objective moderation, literally I pranked some guys into getting banned by reporting them for not being "fit for the cause". Besides, any board that has word filters is immediately a shit board.

All I know for sure is that Holla Forums was far better before the second exodus ruined it.

At least you got banned for something you actually posted, I caught a one-month ban for something somebody posted on the same IP as me and the only ban explanation was "wew"

I got banned for not worshipping a fucking meme.

Hey Mark. Just wanna say I'm with you. Sometimes, politics comes up when discussing stuff like localisation and so on.

But blatant derailment has been a little too common these days, especially when you get "go back to pol/leftypol" or a jew-face or having normal fucking opinions. Everyone here likes to shit on you, so just know that I support what you're trying to achieve.

Where else do you faggots go to see and discuss politics, I want in

Hi AlphaBlaster

That's the problem, dissenting viewpoints shouldn't be banned. Holla Forums should be mocking the left when the left is wrong, banning people for months at a time will only make them leave the board and go to Holla Forums. You want legitimacy then you don't ban everyone who disagrees with you. Hell I got banned for a month for being a jew. What the fuck man? How is that even relevant?

Loving tits and ass, hating mudshits, hating transhits and hating literal cuck shit is all anyone needs to stop any asshurt leftist retard bullshit.

WHO COULD BE BEHIND THIS?

I'm not in it for the memes either, and SJWs are just another manifestation of kikery.

The problem is that if you don't want to gas the kikes tomorrow and hang the niggers from trees the day after that, you're not welcome on Holla Forums. The mods are intentionally removing anyone with any sense of planning or long-term strategy.

You deserved it, heretic.

May not have been libertarian, but there was still room for disagreement, and they had leftist court jesters.

They can't even do this shit properly.

Long term planning is for the Jews, and we can't have that, can we?

This is objective fact. 2014 was the comfiest year on 8ch

/polmeta/ makes a good sanctuary, since the Holla Forums mods never so much as look at the catalog.

People stay on Holla Forums but use VPNs because imkaphy doesn't have a stable system,.

the jews?

but the thing is that Holla Forums was never meant to be stormfront

these

At least we can agree on something you dirty jew. I still wish the mods would let users handle their own problems though.

He's probably /christian/, don't bully.

I got permabanned from Holla Forums for essentially saying that they should try to be more approachable with their tactics to gain a wider audience.

There's something fucked up with the mods over there sometimes. I want to believe they're just broken because of the amount of shilling they have to deal with, but I dunno.

because you're a jew m8

Is this gonna end up like when the owner of r9k said he didn't want every thread to be political and a bunch of spergs from pol came to a board they never visited demanding free speech to talk about something completely unrelated?

Don't poke the bear mark, these people are huge fags

Weaponize memes

Oh vey its another shoah!

I really like how they refuse to use the (((alt-right))) as a way to drop redpills on normalfags and gain more support because the (((alt-right))) is made up of shills.

You should be banned for posting that sick filth. Give me more.

You guys are the chucklefucks who volunteered to clean up the board, why should I do the hard part of your job for you so you can sit back and just push the button? Get more vols if you're too lazy to read the board you supposedly moderate.

Political shit has been plaguing Holla Forums for years now. It's far too late to rectify that, even if you had the will to do so, which everyone who's been paying attention knows you do not.

Old news, faggot.

4am has to go, Holla Forums has to go.
Holla Forums can stick around for some shitposting under the condition that they don't sperg out too much.

Starting somewhere in 2015, with the Trump threads getting shilled, Holla Forums's moderation really went downhill. Did they change owners at one point? Not sure but the mods ban holocaust threads, self-improvement threads, literature threads it's basically NatSoc/news/.

I agree they shouldn't ban newfags for that. Believe me, I'm no fan of the moderation either and I've gotten bans from them myself for the most inane reasons.

Isn't there anyway you can disown your jewish race, assimilate into becoming a European and convert to a different religion like Bobby Fischer did?

You're not 100% Ashkenazim so you won't have the Rabbi look that more European Jews have when they age. You're basically half gentile already so it should be easier for you than for most Jews.

If your forum goal is open discussion yes, but that's not what Holla Forums is. It has a very specific modus operandi. Shills are constantly trying to slide important information and disrupt budding political operations before they become too powerful. You should know all of this from Gamergate alone, two entire /gg/ boards up in flames and after that you had a war between two replacement boards that ended up killing off the last of it.

I would sooner cancel my ISP service than post on Holla Forums, and no, they also do not let "dissenting opinion" there.

Gee I wonder.

Holla Forums doesn't have tactics. Holla Forums is not a political actor, it's a think tank.

Which isn't even true, the mods either bought into or are pushing the "Milo and Thernovich are alt-right" meme. The Daily fucking Stormer calls itself alt-right, for God's sake.

Mark, drop the act.
You don't listen to anyone here BUT the people that consistently shit up the board and want to shitpost even harder than before.
You've surrounded yourself with a band of volunteers that resemble mob enforcers that have as their main priority making this board even shittier and pushing their own agenda instead of actually cleaning anything up.

The proof that you (and the people you work with) don't actually give a single fuck is right here:

EVERYONE HERE that hasn't drank the revisionist koolaid is laughing their ass off reading about this shit.
Really, -yesterday- someone told you about this new problem?
Really, just yesterday you found out about this shit, you retarded kike?
We've been telling you about this shit for months and just now you're starting to SUSPECT that MAYBE this is why this board is fucking shit?

How about you check the main people that aren't doing anything about it and instead literally let shit slide when it fuels their own political agenda, aka the volunteers themselves?
Just stop lying you fucking idiot, people here might be stupid, but not stupid enough to genuinely think you give half a goddamn shit about this board.

-You don't give a shit about Holla Forums
-You absolutely don't give a shit about video game discussion (when you were more active and acted like a retarded tripfag it was clear you barely play video games and could barely interact with the regulars aside finding common ground in memeing and shitposting)
-You actively enable and encourage board wide shitposting
-You work with massive shitposters that enforce posts that shit up entire threads just because it's in line with their agenda

You're the single worst BO on this entire site.

You're never going to make this board better because you're part of the group of people that make this board worse, every day.
You always were, and you always will be.
You're not part of the group of people that come here to discuss video games, you're always going to take the side of those that just come here to shit the board up.

You clearly don't browse any boards other than Holla Forums, /k/, and Holla Forums because it isn't true on any other board you stormfag.

Trump is the Democratic Holla Forumsitician, Holla Forums is the gay guy in Hollywood organizing NAMBLA parades to change societal norms.

2014 wasn't as good as you remember.

archive.is/v5YmE

Entirely possible.

I'm jewish in blood only, there's no escaping my heritage user.

Moderation team should moderate the rules of the board. The only thing the community can do is uphold standards of posting (for on-topic things). Unfortunately, Holla Forums's """"community"""" has fallen so much that this we're reaching the point where non-critical discussion of junk food games is becoming the norm, rather than the subjects of mockery. You all know the kinds of games I'm talking about.

...

Fuck off, Holla Forums. Marx was a cuck and Stirner hated you fucking faggots.

bo just went inactive for g_d knows how long

kampfy/moonman/learningchode have been shitting up Holla Forums for a long time but it seems to get worse every happening

DEGENERATE FILTH

Funny, I always report 4am threads and they always stay up.

...

How about there being a /polv/ thread or something? That way Holla Forums can focus their energy into one place and drop all the appropriate graphs when there are happenings in vidya, and they won't shit up other threads when it's not needed.

RIP in peace, Fred. We'll miss you.

You've made a great thing and without you none of this would be possible.

Ronald and Jim just aren't the same as our beloved crippled midget mascot thing.

I know the website wound up going the exact opposite of the way you wanted it and mistakes were made, man. By all parties. I think the straw that broke the camel's back was the CP/DOST thing. I know many disagree with that and that's fine because I think in reality it was no one thing.

But I, at least, appriciate what you did greatly and I know others do too. You're a good man and it was a hell of a two years. Quite the ride. Please come back and visit us again someday, space cowboy.

That all said Josh and ((((((Mark)))))) are absolute scoundrels and the bottom of the barrel trash who should have been gassed a long time ago. Oh, and I will not stand for this new Jackson faggot and his "community organizer" bullshit and I intend to spam any thread I see his face in to death for as long as I draw breath.

Mark is the absolute most obnoxious scum of the earth liberal hypocrite on earth, Acidman almost single handedly killed gamergate on Holla Forums, pol's BO bans anyone that he disagrees with making it a bigger hugbox than the people Holla Forums hates, /bane/ has almost died completely… Yeah, the boards could use some help alrighty.

Holla Forums, /k/, and like one or two non-legacy boards with two posts per day are about the only worthwhile boards if you don't just like trolling and pissing off a motley crew of the absolute most autistic

Don't try to, but you have to accept that other people will have blood based/heritage based standards, as is their right.

While not perfect, would you rather live in now, or [current year - 1]?

Well technically…

Oh, but TDS are shills as well owned by the Jews.

STOP

I hope the one autist who got upset at the sticky image is still around.

Are you okay, Mark?

There's a good amount of evidence to support the idea that Holla Forums likes to shitpost on other boards. They used to have these threads talking about spreading propaganda to other boards. I think its easy to do because honestly a lot of Holla Forums memes have become traditional chan memes so whenever someone posts a happy merchant somewhere you will always get someone shitposting "Go back to Holla Forums!" wither or not the user who posted it was actually a Holla Forumstard. With Holla Forums memes its different because they're all forced so only lefties post them. You don't have to be /po/tard to post the same memes as Holla Forumstards

The /r9k/ BO was a degenerate drug addict who couldn't handle the dissent so he gave the board to his (literal) gommunist friend. Who also couldn't take the bantz and later exploded.
t. ex friend of BO

tbh you shouldn't go full retard

hard to say since the later half of 2014 was a mess.

yeah, I just stole a copypasta from here.

basically my way of mocking that guy.

Mark is this the reason you don't accept Jesus as the Lord and savior?

It is true, they're just shilling for things that Holla Forums agrees with sometimes. The larger and organized "alt-right" is cancerous 40 somethings trying to direct youth white male populist feeling in directions they desire.

fugg, forgot the link

youtube.com/watch?v=tT0zTF9UwbY

yes

They had a plan that even if they couldn't control the big boards, they would control all the small boards. Control /svidya/ instead of Holla Forums, control /g/ instead of Holla Forums, etc.

They are infiltrators, only protected by Hotwheel's original vision of total and absolute free speech and board self-moderation.

I know both kind of users. And I can assure you that both are retarded enough to ruin anything they touch.

It's not a conspiracy, they're just assholes. It's as simple as that.

Kek, I have never seen that shit besides Holla Forums and /lit/, how do they think it would work anywhere else?

What have you done?

So you instead of arguing his points, you just make fun of him. That's how you prove his point.

I had the archive of the thread up on Freezepage (archive.is wasn't working) let me try and pull it up

wait a second, what was alex jones right about?

Are you fucking serious.

I was onto this shit nearly 2 fucking weeks ago. The patterns were fucking obvious, and no they don't have to do anything with politics.

Mostly it just involves telling people to go to Reddit.

...

look you fat moron, whether its Holla Forums, Holla Forums, or an (((outside force))), politics are not videogames, and its your job to delete that shit whenever someone goes on an Ancap NOT REAL COMMUNISM post rampage or on a MUH GOD EMPERUR TRUMP KILL ALL JEWS KILL ALL GAYS KILL ALL PEDOS shitpost storm

if you dont want to do it because you're afraid the board themselves will turn against you then give the post to someone else, preferably someone who doesn't browse Holla Forums or Holla Forums.

the threads that turn to shit are generally those where the on topic game are perceived to be "from tumblr" like Off, or where the game is perceived to be "shilling" even when its a free game or a link to a pirated version is in the thread itself like haydee which im going to constantly remind you forever that you shat yourself, no outside force there, you faggot

at least Jim keeps his cum slaves well dressed and fed, what other human trafficker does that with his products? gotta give it to him, he might be an anti-freedom pro-censorship faggot as much as Holla Forums & tumblr, but he sure keeps his slaves in good condition. "goldwater" is a pun on his watersports fetish and how he pisses/gets pissed by those filipino slaves, he thinks he's soooo clever hiding that in the name of his (((news))) podcast.

>>>Holla Forums720531

stole someone elses copypasta

No, because he has no points.

I've mentioned that Holla Forums posting is an issue in the past and I just wanted to discuss it again.

the rest are just attacks

Replies like this is why constructive criticism doesn't exist. You cannot even debate legitimate criticism. You won't even engage it. You deflect everything with memes and shitposts. You're what's wrong with Holla Forums.

You can be better and get /fit/, if you die I will just go to Holla Forums

Mark going full hotpocket is probably what the shills want, dumbass. Deleting anything you thing is overly political is exactly what creates hugbox SJW communities. A good amount of political discussion is healthy

It's hard to see when you don't read the board ;^)
It's been going on for a lot longer than 2 weeks m80.

You just described the LOL thread

And believe me Mr. Eyebrows. We delete it as much as we can. however I wanted to talk about the specifics and such. There's no question that the political derailment is against the rules and should be Banned and Deleted, however I wanted to discuss it more in depth with you guys.

What critique? that I don't care about the board? If I didn't care about Holla Forums then I wouldn't be here. that simple.

He's calling you retarded because you're horrifically out of touch with the board and refuse to do anything to the point that you should be replaced by someone who actually knows what you're doing.

Yeah, on a board that isn't about video games.

Good thing there are multiple boards dedicated to political discussion, then. And the option to make your own if none of them suit your particular ideological leanings.

Shit's been going on for the entire fucking life of the board, though it's only become a really important problem since the great half/pol/ exodus and the summer of our election intensified it to the point where it gets in the way of vidya discussion with notable frequency.

Also lets be honest here, the THICC meme is cancer and ruined porn discussion forever

they're doing*
You get the point, but come the fuck on Mark.

Hey Mark.
Just do your best.
I believe you are alright after all.
I don't have a solution for this, but I hope the remedy isn't worse than the illness

Show me what you got.

There is literally nothing wrong with thicc. I think you just need to get some taste.

No, on any community regardless of its topic. You can't police people over their politics. You're just assmad someone posts something political others disagree with. People need to stop derailing threads over politics, but its not the job of the board owner to police people for their opinions. That is what leads to mod tyranny

and it's based on nothing but confirmation bias, also I'm not gonna be a retard and give the board away to anyone. just look what happened to Holla Forums

This.
For all the shit you get Mark, you're not actually that bad.pls ban what I don't like though

I agree derailment is bad, but the only concern I really have is that there are lots of political games coming out.

It's not uncommon to see threads mocking the latest Gone Home or some 3xA game that has a black transgender lesbian protag or something. You can see how that gets political real quick.

who the hell gives a shit
while i agree threads shouldn't just become political shit flinging, sometimes politics plays a role in vidya and is relevant to the topics at hand

banning people for too Holla Forums or too Holla Forums is quite frankly Holla Forums and Holla Forums rule cuck tier and should at all times be frowned upon because each of the respective boards are anti-fun shit holes.

Holla Forums can be fun, having autistic arguments with weeabo faggots on the internet about video games is fun, being a shit hole where ONLY video games may be discussed in their appropriate and designated threads is what killed 4cuck, but ya know, its but my opinion

leftypol filters the words "/sp/ GET because they get triggered by interrupts to their "serious anime imageboard political discussions" lmao

You're right, /fit/ is where it's at

For people who hate that shit you faggots sure do love talking about it all the time.
Those games are going to be shit anyway, why fucking talk about them?

THICC is only sexy when it's dudes.

It's an imageboard, not a full-time job.

100% and it's something we're trying to avoid. We don't want to ban people for their beliefs, only if they break the rules or are causing chaos in the threads.

I never said we'd ban people for discussing politics, in fact I agree with you. It's just the issue of time and place.

I can back this up a bit. Holla Forums occasionally tries "liberating" smaller boards such as /monster/, and usually get noticed quickly and pushed out because they're obvious outsiders. For example, several times now /monster/ has been hit by a wave of faggots pushing cuckold fetishism and leftist politics at the same time, quickly followed by the same anons loudly crying for all politics to be banned when they failed (as revealed by their post history).

"Strict" topic enforcement ironically stifles some meaningful discussion about the topic the board is supposed to be about. It's also KC tier.

Giving the board away to someone more in touch with the community is a great idea but will never happen because Mark doesn't want to lose the only amount of power and control he will ever have in his pathetic life ;^) That and it's hard to find someone who would actually take care of the board and not sperg out after 2 weeks.

I just wanted more people to share pictures of huggable girls
Why can we never have nice things?

It's funny once in a while.. Remember that Gamer Gate (the first 3 months while it was good) was only possible because of 8ch's Free Speech policies

I'm fine with both sides. You don't understand that people who come to Holla Forums aren't coming here to discuss politics, just like how people who go to /k/ aren't looking to discuss bikes or people who go to /a/ aren't looking to discuss western fantasy movies.

Confirmation bias that's been looking at data for 2 years. I'd rather have your moderation style than /a/'s, but it requires the board to not be shit in order to work.

Can we cuddle sometime? Nothing gay though.

did it ever cross your brain that some people wanted to discuss the game? maybe help each other with the puzzles?

did you just wake up from cryosleep or something?

As a thigh man I wholeheartedly agree, you can't talk about the most erotic part of the woman without retarded "thicc" memes being thrown left and right.

Those commie bastards trying to take away my monster girls!
The hell with them and the goon hive they came from.

...

Prove it.

You're in the wrong place.

you have the goobergater thread, go there if you want to be Holla Forums but on Holla Forums because you're banned from the real Holla Forums.

if i hypothetically make a thread about fucking crash bandicoot i dont want it to turn into KILL ALL JEWS 14/88

because nice things don't exist.

I'm right here though.

only if you're a woman.

I'm fine with that, but holy shit shes fat as fuck delete this

pretty much.

...

While the two can intersect, they are not the same thing.
People who don't realize this are the real political cancer.

fukkin checked
You're right it was, but it just get so old to see what is essentially the same thread over and over, that reminds me.
KIKE LOOK HERE
Whats with these once sentence threads with the OP being
or some gay shit like that. Can I report those? I think we should have a character limit on OPs. Our OPs here tend to be longer anyway and it will help filter out the bait and low effort threads.

...

That outfit will still look terrible on that design.

good, good, we see eye to eye.

So, he has a vagina and is in fact a girl ?
Soooooo, therefore wanting to fugggg Link != gay ??

These meta threads only give you half the story.

A recent surge began approx. 2 weeks ago. That's my point. Not that it hasn't happened before. It was dialed up to fucking 10 very quickly.

Blaming political talk because of people who have the intent of shitposting everything thinly enough while fitting in, will only give them reward if they do lean left. The solution is to detect them and rid

but that requires effort.

This tbh
One sentence low effort OPs need to fucking die in a fire.

And no topic enforcement leads Holla Forums to being the Holla Forums colonized shithole that it is presently, where you can ruin literally any thread just by praising communism because there are always going to be a dozen retards who have to try to correct you and/or tell you to gb2 cuckchan, and others arguing with them. Allowing political discussion in threads not explicitly about that is the greater harm by far.

the one sentence threads are a bigger issue than the Holla Forums thing.

Character limits won't fix it either, we take care of it whenever we see it.

Yeah, and I'm browsing the board every day.

Makes sense

Doesn't change the fact that most meta is seemingly ignored and the fact that vols seemingly reject more reports than they do ban people.

...

thank you based kike

I'm fine with political discussion when it comes to a plotpoint of a game (like metalgear) or even reaction images like picrelated, but Holla Forums and Holla Forums overstep their boundaries way too often and its fucking annoying.

exactly, and we'll do what we can.

If I was ignoring you then I wouldn't be replying retard

Who would've thought that a fat jew spic has low t.

You are correct, I also noticed the increase in shitposting, and it isn't exclusively political. Reporting helps getting rid of these people faster, before they derail the threads.

Memeing it up with your GG bros doesn't really count.

Hence why I used 'seemingly' you cake hoarding kike. I still love you.

Communism never really did anything praise-worthy though.
It certainly works in theory, but to work in practice it would take far more altruism and resources than there exists in the world.

But its part of the monstergirl comics

shieeeeeet , you sure got me there :^)

Again most of these problems ITT can be addressed by adopting a lurk moar policy. It works for shills, D&Cers, and ledditfags

Latinos usually have high t though.

Elaborate

I'm not only in the GG thread.

y-you too

TRUE ZEON HAS NEVER BEEN TRIED

If you want to fight back then go find them on their twitters, in their cities and at their companies.
Not in a vietnamese imageboard.

Fuck you're stupid

I can't believe I'm saying this but I agree with Mark. "THICC" niggers need to fuck off back to halfchan and take their shitty meme fetish with them.

You mean like last meta thread where you posted the "but you didn't do anything" image at the very end?
You had a bunch of anons saying they didn't like something, none coming to the defense of it, and still you didn't do jack.

I'm going to fucking strangle you.
'HOW IS IT THAT CHARACTER LIMITS WONT FUCKING HELP
PLEASE FUCKING ENLIGHTEN ME YOU INBRED FUCK
'WHY DO YOU HAVE THESE THREADS IF YOU NEVER TAKE IDEAS FROM THE ANONS THAT POST IN IT
Holy shit I'm mad. And you sit here and wonder why anons keep saying the board is getting worse and worse.

How do you measure the amount someone has lurked?

Thoughts?

/tenchar

it's called having discourse user.

You can't.

99% of the userbase is lurkers who don't post.

You can never lurk enough. Someone who was posting back when 4chan was made up entirely of banned Goons needs to lurk more, someone who came to Holla Forums for the first time today needs to lurk more.

Clearly you will never be able to understand his genius methodology.

Kill yourself.

Spoiler: Now you know how every meta thread ends.

As much as I would love to physically remove gommies, I respect their right to freely post about how much they love Marx dick. I also respect those who call them out on their bullshit, even if a thread is "ruined" because of it. I'd rather have discussion than censor it, isn't that the real reason why we left 4chan in the first place? But that is my inner goon talking.

I don't think that was your intention, but good job proving it.

And that's my que

see you guys later

:^)

What about

VIDEO GAMES

is so hard to understand, faggot?

It's mostly about encouraging higher quality posts. If you're a newfag, you shouldn't be posting within the first day of being here let alone first month. Telling people to lurk moar would hopefully remind them of this.

NTR is the fetish for the thinking man. Stop being one of those evil goobergator nazis that voted for Drumpf and become a modern man.

Honestly what leads to full on politics derails is often just some guy making a joke and then someone needs to barge in and white knight. If we didn't have white knight kneejerk reactions to harmless jokes there'd be no problem.

Example (crafted for the sake of extra harmlessness to not derail the meta thread):

Why not both friend?

pretty much

I would expect a man with a waifu harem to understand.

Except it doesn't. What exactly does it mean for workers to "seize the means of production?"

I support this.
If there's a clear invasion going on like , then the mods should bring out the banhammer. But random commies who wander in shouldn't be banned, because their disgusting, subhuman ideology only gets more pathetic under examination.

...

You realize if you ban all Politics then that means any FurFagotry. Tumblrtales, Bio-ware threads, Sodomy, ect discussions also need to be banned. Because the personal is the political (according to leftist) . They where there politics on their sleeve as "live affirming" and virtue signal everywhere about their values. It only becomes "Political" when someone on the right gets fed up with their trash and say's something. The Liberal idea of what John Rawls calls "public reason" is the heart of Political Correctness. It is the idea that we cannot resolve these metaphysical ethical dilemmas so we should govern in a manner that ignores these disputes (Video related). Long story short, is their is not really optimal way to deal with this in a fair manor particularly if the topic at hand (which is presumably about video games) encroaches on the Political. Best course of action is to judge by the OP's topic. If the OP is video game related and Politically related then allow political discussion. If the OP is not politically related and Video game related, then any topic of politics is considered a derailment which I suggest you Bann the person who first derailed the topic and give a temporary ban to people who "took the bait" (you would explain this in board legislature). Any way, I think I sorta made a cogent point so I will shut up now.

and if you want a hobby untainted by politics try something different , not sure what that may be but good luck anyways

I'm all the way past mad to calm again.
Why bother having this thread, please pass it off to one of your hotpockets, your autism and inability to see from other points of view is clearly a detriment to the board. It was like the other meta thread where anons as well as myself were complaining about not enforcing the rules to the letter.
The only thing you could come up with was " they are judged on a case by case basis, the rues are being enforced". Naturally we all flipped out shit until a hotpocket came and said WHY they are done on a case by case.
Why do I bother posting in these fucking threads?
Why do I let it get me mad?

We'll figure out what it means after we do it.

...

Because you love it baby

Because then shitposters exploit that to shit up every fucking thread. Thanks but no thanks.

DER WANDERNDE GOON

seriously, I don't believe that 8ch is important enough to warrant any direct action by actual state actors or even Soros organizations, it's always the brainwashed followers of their artificially created movements that do that shit for free

useful idiots, basically; having all these chinkmade hightech goy toys doesn't mean that society is much different from a hundred years ago

also, first reply decides which Toaplan shmup I play tonight

I thought you hated the switchdog.

wear their politics on their sleeves*

I only like kekitopia's switch dog

I want a hobby untainted by retards like you and by faggotty SJWs and I will keep working towards it.

Be it by telling faggots to fuck off with their gender politics on twitter, or telling you you're a retard, or making my own game and bringing no politics whatsoever into it.

kys, you're part of the cancer

/thread
Too bad no one will ever take any advice on meta threads.

...

You're the BO, Holla Forums feels worse than it felt before, and seems to consantly be going into the shitter. It's your job, fix that.

I just want to go back to shitposting and talking about vidya games

...

pretty much, other than giving bans to people who took the bait. that's what we try to do. but yeah we do judge by OPs topic. we won't ban people for discussing politics of vidya in a thread that's about the politics of vidya.

...

I think everyone should also keep in mind that, while both Holla Forums and Holla Forums shit up threads, there is a difference in how and why they do it.

As far as I know, there is no concerted, intentional effort on Holla Forums to force its agenda anywhere else on the site. That Holla Forums related material shows up frequently in threads on other boards is more likely because it's the number one board on the website by traffic, and it was the other main board besides Holla Forums that was a part of the 2014 exodus. Holla Forums tends to attract hotheads and zealots, because how can you not get mad about the destruction of the white race? When these people go on to other boards, and someone posts something that they don't like, they're vocal about it. These kinds of thread derailments are the actions of Holla Forumsacks who don't know when to keep it to themselves.

Holla Forums, on the other hand, intentionally tries to shit up threads on other boards as part of their agenda. As seen in they have entire threads devoted to this shit. It's also a fact that they try to recruit on /r/socialism. A week ago there were pirate threads here that had a few posters making anti-capitalist statements ( by which I mean (33) (21) and (14) consistently arguing together for socialism). They ended up derailing the threads. I've also (1)s here posting those Stirner memes (the new porky), which are posted nowhere but on Holla Forums.

As I already stated, Codemonkey posts there frequently, and he tried to force that awful globally announced "not your safe space" board (I forgot what it was even called). During the wannabui spam, Holla Forums was cleared before all other boards. My main point is this: Holla Forums's derailments don't represent the actions of a few autists acting alone but of a mass of them from another site trying to force Holla Forums away from Holla Forums and make Holla Forums the new Holla Forums in terms of influence.

So that's why it makes me mad to see anyone try to equate Holla Forums to Holla Forums when it comes to derailment. Although their posters both derail, they do it for completely different reasons. Equating the two only serves Holla Forums's interest.

Got any more Holla Forums® funny graphs™ to show me?
Wouldn't want you to actually use rational thought, you might hurt yourself

Jesus Christ this formatting is godawful

This is the worst fucking anti-horseshoe theory image I have ever seen

Why did you filter Discord?

Also what that guy said about Holla Forums literally being an outside force isn't necessarily completely false. Of course its not the entire board or anything, but there's some connections being made there and since they have mainstream views they're obviously easier to influence/infiltrate. Don't take this as "ban anyone who disagrees with Holla Forums" though, that's not my intention. I'm just trying to say its not completely retarded tinfoil garbage. Only mostly retarded tinfoil garbage. Just like most muslims don't do acts of terror.

Don't hurt me too much.

Why limit yourself?

you shitpost like a newfag , with nothing held back. Admirable , but mistaken

As a shitposter, you need to be more strict about people to intentionally take bait, because it's piss easy to pretend to have [Opinion X] when in fact you have [Opinion Y] and are only there to shit up the thread for fun or to intentionally make a thread hated enough for people to scream for it's banning. It's what I did to the 4am threads tbh.

This sounds like a good idea, do this.

It still looks as if you're not doing it hard enough.

This is also true, Holla Forumsacks are generally either comletely reasonable people or retards who really want well, but don't understand that they're part of the cancer even going to cry on Holla Forums how much Holla Forums is leftists and how badly they wish to change that

You really need to be a special kind of stupid to think that pic is a good argument

sure got me there
Nice spacing between commas btw, lemme guess, just learned to type on a keyboard?

Maybe if they sperg out, but do not ban Holla Forums and Holla Forums outright. It would be very much shit to do so.

Its PR fag again. Look, we know what happens when we "soften up". Shit like civic (((nationalism))) and tranny acceptance gets pushed on us like mad. We give the left an inch, and (((they))) take a mile. And even cuckchan knows how Holla Forums became the leftist shithole it now is. And its just plain against chan culture, which prides itself on not being like everywhere else and self-censoring to "get the message across better".

Did you just learn how to type?

Are we being flooded by cuckchan
Its been getting pretty bad in here, more than normal

Because sex as an extension of a Platonic relationship is the civilized man's fetish.

Maybe we need to try harder then, anyway I gotta go for a bit. feel free to continue the discussion but I gotta take care of a few errands.

No user , I can type like a faggot or an aunt too , see ?

please fall down stairs

See .

I report shitposters that derail otherwise good threads (eg people that are needlessly blunt and rude)

I also hide threads that are not vidya, template, or boring. Usually I have 4-5 threads show up at a time in the catalog at most.

Just sayin', that's how I use Holla Forums.

Because fuck off this is an anonymous image board.

very reasonable user!

user we can't all be english majors.
"their" is may alkalies heal, I will never be truly user on account of dyslexia. pls no bully

I clearly don't
but only if the thread has already been derailed by leftist :^)

What does Holla Forums consider to be a high quality post or OP?

THANK YOU

Thread OPs are the storefront window of the board. If someone sees a ton of low quality shit in the storefront, they will come here for more low quality shit. Thread OPs need to be held to a much higher standard than regular posting. They're also easier to fix than an entire thread worth of replies.

I'm glad you can type properly!

He has to fall down the stairs, get tossed through a forced masturbation machine that makes him orgasm until he dies with a 25cm piece of wood shoved up his ass and then get thrown off and fall down more stairs until he lands in an oven.

He already said no to fixing them
:^)

What are you even talking about you absolute autistic dipshit

Oh you think punctuation is your ally? But you merely adopted the shitposting i was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see properly syntax in a phrase without any spelling errors until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING

Go look around page 14, that's usually where they end up because Holla Forums only responds to templates, bait, and games they don't like.

And you have the nerve to tell us how to handle kikes.

I thought the roller coaster ride into the deep end of the swimming pool to drown them and then gassing them to bring them back to life was given.

Two points I want to bring up, mainly because I've noticed these lately regarding my/our local racing vidya general:

1. Why is discord censored now? Last year at this time you disliked mumble and wanted people to use discord instead, but now you filter discord suddenly? We used the former for organization and then migrated to the latter when it was found to be easier for what we were doing but it's very difficult to organize shit to do and get new people involved when nobody can join due to the filter in place.

2. I'm not sure how many other groups/generals on Holla Forums have public events, but we have weekly events that are open to everyone on Holla Forums that can participate. The last time I saw anything regarding posting game nights was around two months ago with Star Wars Battlefront and before that Halo Online. How are communities on Holla Forums and Holla Forums supposed to come back when they have difficulty attracting players? Even in Halo Online anyone that isn't JoJo is typically stuck with an empty server or likewise in TF2/TF2C the same happened with anyone who wasn't Alphablaster.

This isn't a democracy buddy. Marko gets the final word on what happens here. If it goes to shit it's on him. A bunch of people screaming about something MIGHT be right. But they dont get the final say. Welcome to monarchy. Ideally Mark would have gone through some kind of screening process to be owner of Holla Forums, but in 8ch the screening process is literally just being the first person with the balls to make a board.

Something better should be the answer with the whatever chan comes next. We're stuck with Mark for better or worse.

Well you glorious newfag, they wont help here for the same reason they didn't help in 4ch. People just spam to beat the character limit.

The way around that could be banning people for attempting to dodge character limits and also having a general guide on what constitutes a good thread or a bad thread.

Whether or not Mark takes this into consideration is up to him.

Discords are shit. They're being shilled to gather data on our userbase.

nice meta thread faggot

Because fuck off this is an anonymous image board.

Any points specifically? I reckon if the key factors can be identified then it will be easier to promote them, and mods will have an easier time identifying unironic shitposts

filtered
:^)

Not selfinserting as the monstergirl
Pleb

The first one is something about how discord can't be trusted or something and Mark decided to filter it out of nowhere because a couple of people said something negative about it.
The second one just suffers from people losing interest in the game, the game becoming shit, or drama making people not want to play anymore, the first one happening to the Planetside 2 outfit we had and the second happening to our Tera guild and the third one apparently happening to the Black Desert Online guild someone from here set up.

I have no idea what your last post was about user
You're full tinfoil-hat rambling

Threadly reminder that Waifu Wednesdays are vidya

Gee I wonder why discord was filtered. Can't see the harm in integrating identity to an anonymous imageboard with shit chinese spyware made for and used by redittors and other normalfags.

Holla Forums and /otherboards/ have never really been the problem, it's just a boogeymen excuse shitposters and mods like to throw around. The phrase "Holla Forums is not politics" is exactly the type of thing an outside group would want Holla Forums to think after we BTFO of everyone during GG and the various things we've uncovered in the past. Holla Forums has already gotten so bad that you can't talk about anything there and now the cancer is infecting the rest of the boards. Holla Forums topics related to politics should be on Holla Forums, Holla Forums political stuff on Holla Forums, and Holla Forums related propaganda on Holla Forums.

Who's fault is that? You know what happens every emulation thread? Anti-emulation fags come to shit it up. Every [AAA current year+2] thread is full of anti-AAA faggots (for good reason). Every thread is derailed by a shitposter here because the hotpockets do nothing unless someone bitches about it. You invited in all manner of shit, enforced no standards, then you come asking us for the answers when it's obvious. Get hotpockets that aren't afraid to moderate and don't have egos and it'll all be fine. Get rid of any of them that do. I suggest a lot less time spent tripfagging on IRC for starters. The OP doesn't inspire much faith in me. You're just either going to slack off on making a new rule all together or it'll be so badly written the hotpockets won't even know how to enforce it. They'll delete shit en masses for about a few days then it'll go back to normal as the users revolt against it. The shitposters will clap in glee, much smug anime will be posted, and the board will get a little worse.

Also, say what you will about the faggots that post in 4am regularly at least they know how to filter and ignore attempts to derail their beloved thread. Despite that thread begin shit and an avatarfag circle jerk they've managed not to be D&Ced. The rest of Holla Forums could learn something from that.

t. old Holla Forumsack that's tired and lost his home.

Keep trying, you almost fit in.

If you were then you wouldn't say "current year+2". Its always the CURRENT YEAR.

oh shit wrong version

Daily reminder there are no wordfilters on Holla Forums

Well then fucking report them.

It's your duty to clean up these streets, and it only takes a literal second.

The mods arent gods, and depend on a good community to report shit.

I reported a shit poster the other day and it took a mod a literal five min to get rid of it.

I don't know if I'm speaking for everyone, but the reason I hate NTR is because it spends so much of their resources on trying to make you relate to the guy being cucked, instead of relating you to one of the characters that are actually having sex.

Complaining is easy, try reporting more.

That's the appeal of NTR, to be the cuck. That's why you should be hating it.

No, it isn't. I didn't sign up to be a volunteer. I don't use the self-checkout at the grocery store, either. I'm not going to do someone else's job for them.

I'm sorry Mr. user, but may I point out…
Can you please help me understand your meaning by using these two statements? They seem to contradict.

Seems like imageboards are not for you newfriend.

But user, we're doing it for free.

So you're just lazy. Got it.

It's the spirit of the community and if you wont participate you aren't welcome here you sniveling little faggot.

My suggestions

What did you expect from mark.
Friendly reminder that he bought discord gold or whatever the fuck is called.

So even if Discord is shit, what other alternatives are there for text+image+voice chat that can be done from pretty much anywhere? The problem is that if we want to continue growing our community, we might have to start looking at expanding into other websites if the playercounts on Holla Forums are unsustainable like they have been in more recent weeks.

None of us tripfag or namefag, we're all based around anonymity. I don't see how using a discord breaks an anonymous community on an anonymous imageboard.

I notice this a lot in generals here on Holla Forums, but the biggest question is why is the lifetime of a game much smaller than on 4chan or other sites. Similar generals on 4chan have been going perfectly fine for several years even though drama and other bullshit, meanwhile it seems like most generals last maybe three months. We're lucky that we've been around for two years now on Holla Forums and we are explicitly an Holla Forums community.

That's not even close, what was said was that the community may have to start looking at other sites to recruit members if the pool on Holla Forums is drying up.

They are just making fun of the cucked, while fapping about the girl plus guy making a happy family

IT'S A TOUGH JOB

I hope to god you really arent a pocket

Yeah, hes a premium goy. Check out is steam if you wanna see the length if his cancer.

There is still the mumble, I don't know why ours goes unused so much.

it only works if the mods collaborate and do what they're told, but, be it because of numbers, be it because of their own personal political views, be it simply because it's not fun, most of the time they'll not do their job properly

WEW
We're long past the point when that was possible. Enjoy more generals for whatever flavour of the week AAA trash pops up.

It's that simple you fuck. That's like saying
Having emigrated from cuckchan, it's not like we haven't seen enough hotpockets that are just in it for the little power and control that it grants them in their miserable existence with little to no care for the actual state of the board they look over. You being a kike makes you doubly suspect, so I suggest you stop brushing off critique of your methods/moderation if they appear to be careless for the quality of the board.

Nice argument

I'm aware of how moderation works. It isn't my job to report every thing or make that decision, an active mod should be lurking more than I do. I rarely lurk here and I see this stuff all of the time, they would too if they didn't spent most of their time circlejerking on IRC.

Use of one word doesn't discredit my argument. WE ARE A COMMUNITY we just just happen to be user. What we aren't is ONE PERSON.

Memes evolve and somewhere in [current year+1] adding the plus came into fashion. If you were really here back then you would have made an argument instead of shit posting and attempting to discredit my post with

Now tell me how I'm using reddit formatting or some other dumb Holla Forums tier meme that didn't start until 6 months ago to prove how much of an oldfag you are. My points are valid, this will fix nothing and I don't really care. All the good posters fucked off to other boards a long time ago where actual discussion still takes place. Holla Forums is probably 90% newfags by this point judging on the quality of the posts.

I have no problems with Holla Forums overlap as long as they're not delusionally sperging out like retards over Japanese drawings or polygons of girls who aren't even white or American, sometimes not even human or even on Earth, having tanned skin or finding each other cute.

I've learned irreplaceable knowledge from people who just wanted to play their videogames in peace and wound up having to completely politically and culturally send shockwaves through the entire world just to fuck over retarded journalists. And they didn't even intend to. It just snowballed into that happening.

...

It's still trying to make me care about the cuck when others are having actual sex, which fucking pisses me off.

Newfriend, stay your hand. You will only harm yourself.

Holla Forums has gone through what Holla Forums is going through. It has mainly developed into shit posting and it got a lot worse since the election last year. On Holla Forums if you try to make a thread like

It'll most likely get deleted and you'll be told to "take it to Holla Forums". Then you go to Holla Forums and try to discuss politics and everyone just shitposts about how this should "really be on Holla Forums". If you complain about the catch 22 they say "just make a new board" which no one is going to come to or even know about because you can't talk about it on Holla Forums or Holla Forums.

Do you see the problem now? You should be able to talk about both on Holla Forums and Holla Forums without hearing about it. It's easy to avoid a thread you don't like.

Thanks for the insight user.

Point out what I shitposted besides the very first post, user.

Are you saying volunteers should be browsing every single thread at any given time?

...

I wasn't around for discord becoming shit but it can basically be boiled down to

That's the fetish. That's who it appeals to. If you want to fuck other men's women, you're look for for /fit/ and real life. It's really not that hard to be better or more interesting than another guy who is just coasting with his insane broad.

No. It only works if the mods are active. The mods are only active if you give a shit and make interesting threads. Because that's what we're all here for in the first place.

Mods don't report things to themselves, you faggot. That's why we have the report button.

I hope no one called the police when you get robbed and no one calls the fire department when you house is on fire.

vid related, it's you.

If you're going to be a hotpocket you should lurk more than one hour a day. That's their job. If they don't like it get rid of them and find someone that will do it. We have enough NEETs around here that we should be covered 24/7

Newfriend, please stop hitting yourself, it is unsightly.

Can confirm. There were multiple gangs were trying that shit on Halfchan and spiritual decay has reached the world of Image Boards. People do that shit, because they have no purpose in life. Fee free to punch a Rabbi for that.

In other news, I am finally at Gamergays.
>>>/irc/5928
>>>/irc/5929

Today I bring hard evidence that Holla Forums was part of it from the beginning and that a few characters considered the original Zoey Post not videogames. Its not much, but you have to keep in mind that it is only the first day.

I think the joke is fine both ways, since 2015 is when John Oliver started that crap. I've seen both variations. You need to stop being an autist.

Thank you for trying your best Mark I truly appreciate it.

...

God I love that skit.

If you're going to complain about moderation in a meta thread you should prove you have a real interest in the quality of this board and report every low quality post you come across while you're lurking.

Trips of truth.

Alright maybe not every post.
Like the other hotpocket said it can be tough to decide what what threads are shit posting and what ones are legit. I know you guys are under marks yoke but please, for the love of god try to peel his autism back once in a while.

I personally do.

One for simply shitposting.
Another for most likely being a retard while doing it.

It's easy to avoid threads I don't like, but when every thread turns into shitflinging then we're beginning to have a problem. It's not just
It's also every time a game has a girl player character, or some PR ijit posts retard scree on twitter. When it isn't that, then threads about new games are all shill threads, it's not just politcal shit in the game, now everything about it has to be analyzed and pass muster or the great derailers come again and again, and it's very tiring, whether it's newfag spergs from Holla Forums or falseflaggers from Holla Forums, or Holla Forumsored idiots maybe.
It feels like nothing can be discussed about vidya anymore

Checking those holy digits

4ams are already gimped

This

poppin in to say I appreciate ya mark

I'll be following these from here on out and adding any additional evidence as needed. I was part of the steam group/twitter retards for several months and in the irc as well.

This post sums up the headache.

Too bad.

It'll die completely once the tripfag that makes the threads stops posting in the one thread on Holla Forums he posts in.

He's already gone.

Don't worry, he'll come back to delete the thread before long.

Only if someone reports it.

On it fam.

we should have a permanent cyclical thread for the mods to read tbh or just more regular meta threads so the mods can actually stay up to date

I'm just gonna post this and hope it applies at some point

There's /metav/, but at this point I think I'm the only one who even looks at it.

meta boards never work, you need to actually have/allow threads on the proper boards themselves

The mods already have one board to keep watch over, they never so much as lay eyes on meta boards, if /polmeta/ is any indication.

i shitpost in metav but it's almost pointless because only you read my shitpost

We have a twitter system where we can tweet the mods directly actually.

It's called the fucking report system, nigger.

I don't know how often these threads happen because I don't pay attention to time. But if they're happening at least once a month I think that's cool.

/metav/ got dropped, it's not longer the official v meta board - email only so no one else can see the complaints you make.

This works. A permanent cyclical would more than likely just create a habitat for stupid shits to attempt their shitty coups in, by way of slow boil that spreads outward through second hand moderation. In which case, best case scenario would end up being ignore the thread or go through the process of removing it and dealing with the irritants that had cropped up during its life cycle.

The only meta board that gets replies is /a/'s meta, but that's just because they're trying to keep the users sucking their dicks until the end of time.

Shitpost on /sudo/ instead, there's actually people there.

Reports are hidden from users, no? The point of meta discussion threads is for funposting discussion with other users, not just the jewish mods.

/a/ is best board, fight me faggot.

It's a shit board. I'll kick your ass you flaming faggot.

...

Meta threads are supposed to be monthly, and they have been, with the exception of February where we had two for some reason I forget.

good luck making a thread about anything other than moeshit school girls anime.

I don't go to /a/ but the board quality in context is pretty high. I wish it was as high here.

No, you're thinking of killing yourself. Meta threads are so the mod can get a gauge of whats going on.

Anyone who uses the "funposting" meme is really just saying "shitposting" and is a purely cancerous fucking user.

What is this from?

I wish I knew.

Yeah, you're a faggot.

Thanks, it's quite easy to make a thread about something other than "moeshit school girls".

/a/ moderation is excessive and far from perfect, but it does keep the faggots out

People make threads about other shit all the time. They don't always get many posts, but it's not like you get banned for it

This is why nobody takes /a/utists seriously.

...

The rules are there for a reason and it makes for a perfectly comfy and civil board. Keep crying that Holla Forums is nothing but shitposting.

A board needs a little bit of shitposting here and there. For fucks sake, even /r9k/-/v9k/ and /jp/ know better than to blindly trust moderation.

Pic related is what happened when /jp/ decided to visit that board. Back when they were still "allowed".

Banning bestposting completely is what causes a board to stagnate, and lose the culture that made it fun to use in the first place. Please don't tell me that you really hate fun and oc in any form, like the average /a/ user today.

I read the rules, that's why I don't post there anymore. The userbase there enjoys being policed for wrongthink.

/a/ still has its shitposting, but the rules and moderation keep it in check and don't let it swamp the board.

The userbase just wants to discuss anime.

Rulecucks going to rulecuck.

Clearly you don't know what the board wants and you should go back to Reddit.

I understand user I really do, this is what I meant when I said I lost my home. old/pol/ was a hodgepodge of ideologies where you could debate among each other. Over time it became more right leaning mainly because that side made good arguments but counter arguments were still welcomed. Then the exodus came and quality went into a downward spiral. By election year it was so bad the board might as well been called /trump/. Holla Forums can't even run OPs anymore without have multiple sticky threads so they aren't drowned out by shit posting.

To an outsider something like Holla Forums would seem like a reaction and maybe at one time it was but from the very early days their main goal was the D&C Holla Forums and boards that were sympathetic to Holla Forums. I didn't mention them before this because I don't want to give more power to the boogeymen but that's clearly what they do. You can't make any counter arguments in there either, just go try and see how quickly you get banned for not going a long with them.

Holla Forums was in a similar position with GG at one point where the op attracted a bunch of newfags and people that didn't come to Holla Forums for vidya outside of politics. Pushing that off to another board was a good idea because it was large enough to sustain itself. Sadly, outsiders D&Ced the op pretty well and it devolved into a discussion about ethics that our enemies didn't and will never follow. It became cancer and eventually abandoned by most everyone.

I guess my greater point is you can't attach boogeymen to shit posting and moderate based on that. It never works and it never will, get rid of the obvious bait and shit posting and let the topic of discussion flow naturally. You're going to get some political discussion when the industry is pushing obvious propaganda and virtue singling to one side of the spectrum. We live in interesting times where public opinion is shifting hard after many years of begin politically correct. Things are begin said in public that used to only be said behind closed doors. You can't hide from it. Separating into a multitude of hug boxes only makes us weaker which is exactly what outsiders want. They want us so divided that we can't even stop to call out an obvious shill post.

is it so hard to just talk about video games? i literally don't care what you think about my politics or video game tastes if you can just let me talk about video games without ruining every thread you step into

And that is different how? I saw what was said. The guy who runs the discord directly talked about getting people from reddit and cuckchan with some bullshit caveat like "if they can behave" which is an incredibly meaningless argument for why this shit is OK. You're using chinese spyware to do shit that can be done in game or in the thread. We're on an imageboard, the point is you post text and images here and not on some third party software. You don't need voice chat for anything but while playing and then you have whatever in game solution most games offer or just use Mumble. At least that way you shit won't be sold to dataminers and you look less like a millennial faggot.

/a/ would be the worst board ever on Holla Forums if Holla Forums and /r/socialism/ had never existed.

The sad thing is you're right, at least about /a/.

I'm not personally part of your hivemind, I barely even post at all. Outside of these meta threads I don't post anything political.

There's literally nothing wrong with overmoderation. If you think otherwise, you're clearly a Holla Forumsedditor and should be rightfully banned. I do like how they actually manage to keep Holla Forums-Holla Forums shitflinging off their board though.

Why do you hate japanese bird?

"Gimped" is a shit half measure which is the main problem with this shit board and its owner. No half measures, have a few clear rules, enforce them. 4am is not video games, waifu threads are not video games, webm threads in their current state are not video games. They're all just BO approved circlejerk offtopic template threads and need to go. As long as they are allowed this board will forever be stuck in limbo of what is and isn't shitposting and nothing can be done about it because no one can reason why something can and can't be banned other than "because I say so".

Required viewing: my.mixtape.moe/ccuiqb.mp4

I'm glad someone feels the same way, we need to ban every single DNC shil-

I like Japanese bird, I even have a folder dedicated to it.

Trips confirmed. Waifu Wednesday threads are here to stay.

Take a screencap while you're at it, fag.

Have they said anything about Holla Forums? We already have enough faggots from Tumblr and Reddit. They aren't even subtle about it either, or they're those fags that believe that "but Tumblr is good for x things" or "Tumblr and Reddit are good for porn".

but you don't have to use discord, it's not necessary to join to be a part of the vidya process
take /ogc/ for example, everything race related gets posted both on the thread and on discord. From being there myself, almost nothing race related is actually posted there (but anything that is posted i have also seen on the thread). You don't want to join the Discord? Fine, nothing is forcing you to, but that doesn't mean discord should be wordfiltered altogether. Hell, even Mark owns a discord, not being there doesn't stop you from interacting with the board, and Mark is not forcing you to join it either. Same thing applies to the mumble, and referring to the user who was talking about it, no one joins because its dead for almost 20 hours out of the day.
In terms of the redditors and non 8ch users, I've only seen two to three outsiders join the discord, and they were invited by people who have no relation to the owner whatsoever. At the end of the day, we are not a closed community, anyone who knows the url can come here and post. Hell, if you use anything but google you can just look up 8ch and the site is at the top of the list. In terms of them joining i see nothing wrong with this. No one is getting offended when someone says nigger, and everyone is polite with each other both in thread, discord, and server when we race. They fit in practically like any other user. In terms of whats spoken about on discord, its just bullshit that has nothing to do with racing and 99% shitposting. If people actually posted the same stuff on the thread it would be completely off topic and for the most part 75% of the people who use /ogc/ dont even come n the discord. (Also keep in mind that the rival racing group from 4chan purposefully posted the discord on reddit so that they could call us faggots.)
Going back to what i said, nothing is forcing you to go to discord. Some people believe the botnet thing, others don't. Both viewpoints are completely fine, we coexist anyway. Nothing should be wordfiltered tbh, that just puts us just as low as leftypol.

But user, Mark proclaimed that Waifu threads are vidya

Soon

Holla Forums was a lost cause far before the first exodus. The poor board never stood a chance.

Holla Forums doesn't show up, but the group info and the events are still the top results. Other than a random website that scrapes Holla Forums threads and pastes them on their website to make it seem active.

Everything needs to be banned because fun is wrong.

Hopefully. The faggot turned the irc they made into his circlejerk as well, and refuses to touch anything else because he either gets laughed out of it when he tries to astroturf it into another of his circlejerks or because his boogeyman is was there.

What's sad is, you're right. It didn't help that our BO followed a "hands-off" approach, which may work for boards like /tg/ or /late/, where posting standards are higher than most, but for Holla Forums it's fucking horrible. It also doesn't help that there's barely any good shit coming out anymore, western animation and comics is far more compromised by leftists than vidya.

...

You got me there, I haven't actually checked in a few months but last time i tried you could get the 8ch url on yahoo, duckduckgo, ect.

I was never a big Holla Forums user, but I feel for you. I really do. I want to say "chin up, hang in there, it'll get better" but that would probably be a lie, so instead I'll just recommend you cut your losses and get a different hobby.

Meta spam is free speech.

I'm glad that one is still a thing

Shitsu should be permabanned on sight until he kills himself tbh.

Be careful, his white knight could show up at any moment and harass us for wrongthink.

Found a cap in my folder about why goycord is shit. If you care, it's also run by Tencent.

You tell em brudder.

That was posted by a truNEET, an oldfag as ancient as time itself, we assume it died with him.

is the dream of Holla Forums dead?

yep

nah

maybe, could you repeat the question?

For (You)

Rulecucked boards rise and fall, but in the end we will always have a spinoff to go back to. Never stop fighting for freedom, and for the love of g-d, don't go back to 4chan.

I mean like alot of boards do not trust eachother and or shift the blame alot. Its like everyone hates eachother and all they can do is namecall

Boards even in the top 25 are slow as hell and not like 1 post an hour but sometimes like barely any posts a day. I look in the gamergate general on Holla Forums and it looks like shitposting and the type of shit you would see on 4chan /vg/. I do not really use Holla Forums much anymore I pretty much just come to Holla Forums for its /tg/ someone will call me a faggot since Holla Forums also seems to hate 8/tg/ aswell

Right now I see no difference from 4chans Holla Forums albeit with more name calling like reddit,Holla Forums,Holla Forums, and some other shit since it seems like every month their is a new thing to blame.

I think the only board that actually hates /tg/ is /int*/ because they spammed the fuck out of the board and tried to get a replacement set up which failed, and then they tried to get the BO slot of /tg/ when HW decided to do a fucking raffle for it for some retarded fucking reason which they also lost.

I think it also has to do with the fact no one experiments with new boards anymore. Boards like /tikilounge/, /kind/, /bane/ or /monarchy/ are either dead or half-dead. Mostly people just flock back off to their legacy board or board-created-because-someone-got-banned-from-said-legacy-board, at least boards like /monster/ are still alive. What's horrible is that we get newfags that only go on Holla Forums or Holla Forums and go back to halfchan/reddit afterwards. However, there's now "advertisements" for boards now, maybe we'll see a resurgence?

Isn't he always?

You know who play that shit? Gay niggaz.
Gay niggaz.

They started this war, we'll finish it.
