Okay Mark/Hotpockets. I want to provide the opportunity for you to receive some open fucking feedback so hopefully you don't keep making these retarded decisions over and over again.
Healthy discussion I didn't catch the last of it so I can't say for certain about the general pozzed nature of the game devs and why the game is normalfagbait cancer which places disrespect on the millions of soldiers who died on the REAL western front and WW1 scene, not just WE WUZ SNIPERZ AND SHIET.
Ripe with discussion about how the game will never live up to expectations and general mocking of the people who spent their life savings on pictures for a game that hasn't been released yet
Now, these are just two examples of what I would consider to be fuckups on your part. And the mistake, if you haven't noticed, is what did these threads do to deserve deletion? And in that regard, what does any thread that you prune or delete do to deserve deletion, because you never actually specify a reason, it just gets wiped. I've noticed a bit of a pattern lately, any thread that discusses general jewishness or dishonest, shitty malpractice at consumer expense in the industry gets wiped. And on the other end of the spectrum, summer posting is fucking rampant, and slowly destroying the quality of this board from within assuming it's not temporary, which seems increasingly doubtful at the moment. I'm beginning to think you guys don't have any particular set of rules, you just ban shit which you don't like, regardless of what it may contribute to the site or general discussion. And it is one of the exact fucking reasons I daresay, that the majority of people fucking hate you, disrespect you, and generally tell you that you're a piece of shit at every turn on this board that you manage and maintain.
Say what you want, do what thou wilt. But give a fucking reason at least. Speak to us instead of just assuming that everything is okay. Either way, whatever happens now, happens. You guys can call me a fag, sage this thread to oblivion, bump lock it, or even delete it or whatever now. But I would love to hear what Mark, or any of the other hotpockets, have to say about this shit.
Usually it's miscommunication and someone gets scolded later on for deleting it, the rules can be so vague sometimes it doesnt cover a lot of the topics that are posted here, and when you intervene with threads that seem to fall enough under one rule, some people get pissed, if you ignore them, then other people get pissed
miscommunciation and bad judgement is the result of a lot of threads non-delete worthy getting deleted, and nobod to bounce "should i delete x or y?" off of because most people are asleep or not paying attention
not a mod btw
Charles Barnes
KEEP DELETING Holla Forums, I MEAN LOL THREADS
Hudson Harris
No. Because it's full of shitty reposts. Like the faggot who keeps spamming that cringey ass comic "Pretty Boy"

Jaxon Roberts
Quick, post your rarest Markie before the thread dies.
Charles Walker
Can we delete the webm general as well? The damn thing is 40% vidya related as it is.

I demand visible bumplocks. No more of this invisible bumplock horse shit you faggots have been doing.
David Gomez
Keep in mind that threads being deleted might also be collateral damage from these "delete by IP" processes vols seem to be fond of.
Luis Roberts
Haven't people been screeching for Mark to clarify most of the rules for goddamned months? Most of them are so goddamned broad that it can mean whatever the fuck the mod wants it to at the time which may or may not be the point
Elijah Jones
Mark, please gas yourself with a nice dose of Zyklon B so that we can get a decent BO.
Ian Turner
I no mod and even I can see what's going on here For the battlefied 1 thread you're talking about look at the disparate topics it went over, two are general complaimt territory and easily sidetracked, and it was only 51 posts in. I don't even have to see that thread, I know how it turned out. Into a babbling shitfest of screamimg anons As for scam citizen I don't know why that 404'd, thought it just autosaged or got derailed. You could probably just make a new one with no issues
But the thing in your post that really grinds my gears is this board quality meme. What is a quality post in the first place? Why do we have to throw a fit everytime some OP does a template for shits and giggles? Why is funposting frowned upon? I don't want the entire board to become that way but policing quality by some arbitrary, ever-changing standard of quality is ass and it turns away fresh content. How many posts have been thrown out for the awful boogeyman of reddit spacing? How many other weird rules should we force the mods to hold posts to while we're at it? Just explain what a quality post is first and make some of your own for chist sake
Benjamin Ward

Sebastian Torres
love you mark
Ayden Cruz
This is true, some lazy vol doesn't want to clean up 3 or 4 posts so he just wipes your entire post history.
Lincoln Price
Okay, good we got that settled. Now about rob threads, those need to go as well. Secondary at best.
Logan Young
Quads confirm, be careful what you ask for.
Jonathan Ortiz
I have no opinion on Mark or the mods in general but getting banned for talking in a thread that's diverted into Holla Forums talk is pretty fucking gay. I get if you want to delete the posts but a three-day ban is rather excessive.
Also ban that stupid faggot who tries to redirect all threads into generals.
Nathan Collins
I have absolutely no idea what the hell they think will happen with the invisible bumplocks, honestly. If you're updating the thread you're pretty friggin' quick to notice it had a post two minutes ago and yet is on page 3.
They've been getting better about it lately. Now I see "deleted all posts by IP in thread" instead of "deleted all posts by IP". I wish they'd quit only deleting one side of whatever shitflinging is going on with that (oftentimes they only get one half of the problem or occasionally ban/delete the IP of the guy that's responding to bait and not the bait itself) but it's better than it was before.
Four-quads but if the board were somehow torn from Mark's hands one day that doesn't actually entail we'd get a worse BO. Probably it'd just filter down to whoever's second-in-command on the mod cabal or it'd be put up for open claims, then be claimed in mere nanoseconds.
You do realize "Video Games" is a hilariously broad field of discussion?
Jackson Ross
I post a fair bit of gfur in the pokemon etc threads. Is it too much?
Charles Hall
Yes.
Jack Phillips
You either uphold the rules or you don't. Simple as that.
Leo James
any amount is too much. Please keep the gay ERP in /fur/ or something.
Charles Kelly
one picture is always too much, also gas yourself
Luis Cook
this sin't a democracy you stupid goy , the only one than can make threads is the kike himself
Cooper Cruz
democracy is on reddit, where you should return.
Hudson Baker

James Young
Cenorblade chronicles. :^)
Jackson Gonzalez
Oh this whole "namefag" or "avatarfag" bit again, see I'd give credence to that if he were actually doing it outside of dedicated threads, which he doesn't. I'm aware he gets special treatment and I personally have no idea why beyond "Mark likes them", but the screeching about ROB is getting to be an even bigger nuisance than ROB himself and I know for a fucking fact it's maybe 30-50 people out of Holla Forums's 2500 that're the ones screeching since they had that goofy little Strawpoll up in one ROB thread to try and support the whole "most of Holla Forums wants to see ROB gone" bit and they couldn't actually muster up the numbers for it.
Jace Powell
So is tripfagging, but it is highly frowned upon.
Charles Bell
Explain 4am threads then. Checkmate.
Christopher Diaz
Pseudo-puppet shows done with [Videogame Brand Name] characters to promote [Videogame Brand Name] is not actual video game discussion or video game culture like this board is supposed to be about. The ROB threads are literally one guy publicly jerking himself off every week about how much he loves Nintendo with tumblr-tier feels messages at the end, and all while being protected from criticism and consequences. If a few more anons start making their own threads in the same vein as ROB threads and get similar protection then this board's pretense of being about video games will finally dissolve.
Christian Reyes
If you faggots haven't got the hint yet, this how Holla Forums is now/works.
1) This is Mark's board, no longer Holla Forums, he has stated that he does whatever the fuck he wants and only pretends to follow the rules in place when need be. 2) This is GamerGates hole in the internet, everyone in the gamergate thread is a mod/vol/irc "in on the shtick" faggot. Challenge them and or anything they represent, u r done. 3) This board is now "dead" and or slow, even for summerfag exceptions. The summerfag meme is as old as Moot saying there really is no influx of users during the summer. 4) Either embrace other imageboards again, got on some spiritual journey on the internet to find a better place, and or embrace normalfaggot shit.
Have a nice day.
Joseph Hill
I couldn't care less about 4AM threads since I have this handy little "filter" tool that allows me to not have to see any of those attention-whoring little bastards on the rare occasion I actually decide to look in on one of those threads. I don't get why anybody actually cares about those dipshits so much as to bring them up at each and every meta thread. Are 4AM threads that popular? Your fedora's showing.
Isaac Harris
Embrace what board?
Tell me how that has worked out with sjws fucking with video games. Besides, you seem to really get upset as soon as rob is attacked. Care to share something with everyone? :^)
Liam Garcia
Literally what they hope happens with shadowbans of any kind on any website. Trick people into thinking there is no interest so they don't get Streisand'd
Matthew Price
None of them? I don't understand what anons expect from Marks personal club anymore. He is fat. He loves Nintendo.normalfag shit. He is a kike. He does whatever he wants.
What do you expect from this thing? Is this your first day on the internet?
Carson Davis
Kinda like what they did to this very thread. No one is saging and yet it's not on page 1 when someone posts.
Hunter Anderson
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THESE PEOPLE?
Wyatt Harris
if we still get OP and his concern trolling muh board speed metafaggotry then it's not slow/dead enough yet
Brayden Cox
Cool story bro
Christopher Brooks
...
Joseph Howard
Oh God you can't be serious, the bastard doesn't promote Nintendo any more than a battlestation thread promotes PC as a platform. Which is the point, I'm pretty sure, it's something he puts on as a form of entertainment. It wouldn't have a foothold if people didn't enjoy it, I don't think. Not really. Look in most any ROB thread and it's fucking blasted with sages and screaming about how much he's breaking the rules, and one recent thread I recall had somebody trying to start up a /cow/ thread on ROB (and then getting blown the fuck out because they were trying to establish things like paying for vidya tax-free through military benefits as an abuse of the system guys why don't you hate him he's such a lolcow). I will say though that Mark's clean-up of all those sages and such before an archive is used is pretty faggoty and I agree with the "Holla Forums HAET ROB" bit of an independent archive that retains all that.
No, I said I ignore them because I don't care about them. Shit, you can completely erase their posts as if they don't exist through the filter/hide feature now. I don't see them as any more a problem than ROB if they restrict themselves to one thread at the wee hours and I legitimately do not see why everyone seems to pay so much attention to a handful of faggots that have no actual impact on the rest of the board beyond one thread. I've long-since chalked it up to either being a board-boogeyman, or being one of those things that a dedicated few hate so much they can't stop paying attention to it by absolutely any means. Ah, god, you got me, I'm actually ROB. My cover's blown and you've seen through my deception.
Mason Torres
They are afraid of proving OP right by locking or banning people so they silently bumplock it? That's some kike tier levels of shutting it down. Why are they so scared of putting their foot down and drawing a line with this issue? If they were in the right it would not be hard to do, if they are wrong then what's stopping them from going "Whoops we fucked up. We need to retool the rules to fit with what Holla Forums is."
Jaxon Hill
of the few times I've been in a ROB thread, he was just bragging about his shiny new joycons or amiibos. That's pretty shill tier behavior.
Charles Murphy
I shouldn't be bothering responding to this post really, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for the thread's sake. I no teacher and even I can see what's going on here Don't take my word for it then type in this link >sys.8ch.net/mod.php?Holla Forumsres/13100091.html and at the login screen type: "Anyone", and for the password type 0. The whole thread is there, managed to find it after I posted the OP. Nobody was screaming but have a look for yourself. Not yours. IIRC template threads are specifically against the rules, and something that I actually don't object to since it means that people need to be a bit more creative rather than just filling the blanks of the same post. I'd have to know what your definition of funposting is. Quality is inherently arbitrary to a degree because it is determined by a societal standard or an individual standard and opinionated bias. To me it just sounds like you want more of an echo chamber or a hugbox, which is what the board will eventually become if you have a problem with 'quality.' Fresh does not always =/= good. That's not actually been as prevalent lately, but I agree that reddit is probably mentioned more here than on actual reddit. You're entitled to your opinions lad. A quality post, in my opinion, is something that people put effort into. Shitposting is okay depending upon context and moderation, endless shitposting just kills discussion inevitably. Your post reeks of bad spelling mistakes, and it just sounds like you're greener than a golf pitch tbh fam. You should probably lurk a bit more before posting again. And finally Come on now.
That shit has also sunk to new lows. Do they actually do anything in that thread anymore, or do they just aim to get to 300 posts asap so they can just keep making threads.
Nothing surprises me anymore tbh lads. I was half expecting to come back to find the thread 404'd, or anons flinging shit at me, getting banned for an unknown length of time, mark or the mods coming in themselves and actually facing the music probably the least likely option in retrospect, or the thread getting bump locked, which is what actually happened. And then they wonder why people think they do a shitty job.
Wyatt Stewart
No. It's just a few anons posting "leaks" from the goldwater or something and the rest talk about gay porn, monstergirls, and get impotently mad at SJWs.
Mason Torres
...
Ian Myers
I'm sure half-Holla Forums's board quality shot up when rob left there why don't you go check it out. Damn… if only there was a way we could make it sobwe couldneach go into threads we like, even though all of our tastes are different, then we could have rob threads and generals and webm thread and lol thread and actual webcomic dumps and vidya mechanic discussions all mext to each other. Oh wait, there fucking is! protip, it's even better than filtering. Are you stumped?
Isaiah Richardson
There isn't really anything to say on the topic anymore, I check Holla Forums twice a week, nothing special about this place like the first 3ish months. It was fun, but it is what it is. I just miss deep sea threads.
Wyatt Fisher
What worries me is that if they are not above silently bumplocking a thread then are they above shadowbanning an IP? Has that even been an issue here before?
William Thomas
This. Every thread he's made in recent months have been showing off his newest Nintendo merchandise via shitty fanfic format.
They'll go further than a bumplock it seems. Pic related was fairly recent.
Luke Lopez
There is the picture. Yeah, once I saw that, I knew this place was garbage.
Brody Ward
I just want 2006 back
Holla Forums is perfect right now it doesnt need to move fast Holla Forums will always be shit now because the entire cartoon and comic industry is cancer. Holla Forums legitimately cannot exist the way it was because of this. Nu-Holla Forums is effectively Thief 4 while old-Holla Forums is Thief 2.
Levi Jones
Mark's autistic fit from the censorblade threads should have given it away.
Gavin White
...
Noah Gray
And good fucking luck getting that fat fuck to think otherwise unless he fucked up so badly EVERYONE knows.
Dylan Wood
Well then that begs the question of if anybody else who hoards merchandise and shows it off here is a shill for [insert company here]. Or maybe we should have a dedicated Playstation autist and Xbox autist to balance it out with accompanying merchandise, eh?
Rule 9 is probably the weirdest shit he could have ever brought out to try and pin ROB to the wall.
Dylan Morgan
...
Brody Thompson
Mark and his goons are all Nintendofags, how do you not know this?
Gavin Sanders
To further elaborate on this, if Mark was actually self aware, or at least, aware of his own personal bias and his willful ignorance towards this sort of thread, this wouldn't even be an issue.
Mark. We're calling you here and now, stop pretending that you've never made mistakes on this board.
I think what we have to do is just screencap shit like this thread and whenever shit like this pops up in discussion. If I were BO I would have this fucking stickied instead of bump locked.. Feedback should be integral to the whole process of perfecting something. How can anyone be so delusional as to think they can go without it, or any other constructive criticisms?
Noah Lopez
At most we are seeing the mods walk on eggshells due to the increasing amount of people coming to this realization. The problem occurs when anti-nintendo spergs use this as fuel to destroy a legit nintendo thread. Even then, a nintendo fan could use this to disrupt a thread criticizing nintendo Oh wait, that's already happening. :^). In short, WHAT A MESS WE MADE, WHEN IT ALL WENT WRONG
Jace Walker
He admits to making mistakes all the time, he doesn't care. HE IS FAT HE IS A KIKE THIS IS HIS PERSONAL BOARD HE DOES WHATEVER THE FUCK HE WANTS Get it through your head dude, there is no going back.
Cooper Lee
Hey, why not, there was that one thread lampooning ROB threads that went by perfectly fine. Mark's not completely lying when he says he's impartial on ROB threads and how they're treated beyond not caving to "remove it i dont like it" posts.
Jose Gomez
The criticism in this case involved a great many people telling him that a thread he liked didn't belong, and as a result it stopped being criticism he had to give a damn about.
Elijah Miller
Even then, what would they roleplay? I would bet my hard earned shekels they would be shut down either by the community or by the mods or more than likely a combination of the two!
Grayson Ross
topkek
Dominic Barnes
I agree it's heavily likely copycats would get shitcanned for lack of interest and/or mod intervention, though for lack-of-interest it highlights that Nintendo's the perfect candidate for the autistic-puppet show format by virtue of how much shit there is to work with and how iconic a lot of the materials within are.
Easton Adams
Oh shit, Marks here.
Elijah Edwards
Nintendo is like your retarded brother. You have to love him cause of family, but he is still fucking retarded.
Aaron Sanders
More than likely a fag who is getting upset at the change of views that Holla Forums is going through.
Cooper Wood
I remember that one. It was a parody of ROB threads, and it was pretty cozy too. I don't think he would have gotten away with deleting that seeing as it wasn't actually breaking any of the rules although even that term is very flimsy round here.
I said that once, calm your sperging lad. Anons you mean? What would you prefer to be referred to?
Cooper Perez
Are you just completely incapable of not posting like a retard in every thread you're in? Don't think your posting pattern has gone unnoticed.

I do.
It still phases me that Nigel Farage looks so much like Grant Kirkhope.

In his defense the fucker never denied doing this. Holla Forums's always been a mix of reddit and 4chan. And ironically enough this place was more fun when it was just starting out anyway I won't defend a lot of the other things he's done though.

Nathaniel Stewart
There was actually a couple of other Holla Forums spinoff boards as well wasn't there?

I want to congratulate you on achieving your objective with this board (and this website). Holla Forums was at 3000 pph 2 years ago, now it's at 300 (1 month ago it was 150-200).
Benjamin Jones
fuck off id rather have 300 non shitposters than what we have now
Landon Jenkins
yes

Benjamin Hill
if the thread is locked then how can you still post in it?
Brayden Reyes
(bump)locked. Don't be anal.
Mason Adams
to be fair i meant 300 non shitposts, not shitposters, but still Someone post the picture of the two stick figures playing video games then the more people that come, the more cancerous it becomes as the userbase grows.
Brayden Carter
A board needs users. And let's not pretend post quality is any better now than back when it was 3000 PPH.
Jackson Parker
It's all about context I guess. This place was a lot better starting out with that many people. We could still have a decent time with this many but there's to much shit to get in the way. Shitty administration being towards the top of that pile.
Justin Roberts
Where does the fucking time go. I kinda miss all the good times we had when #GamerGate was in full swing. It all felt really tightly-knit and we would have fun trolling each other and shit. Good times.
Robert Sanders

Wyatt Howard

Samuel Diaz
What went wrong?
Carson Gray
Follow the comment chain.
Isaiah Cooper
for those getting disgruntled, could always try and jumpstart a board like /games/
Mods are weird and taking a look at this thread would rather bumplock a thread than give honest feedback. Then again mark likes to flip flop on shit and the mods themselves are selective in their rule enforcement
Parker Jones
yeah and 300 posts per hour is a lot believe it or not, there are 30 unique ideas right here and more in other threads with non-meta discussion.
Thats because the place was born from disgruntled anons looking for refuge and we all had a common enemy in the anti-gamergate people. Once that calmed down and 8ch became "too hardcore for 4chan", the cancer started to come in. No one cared about gamergate anymore and whether people admit it or not gamergate is a bunch of normalfags thinking they changed something when in reality they didnt do much Hulk Hogan actually did though
If you want it to change a new board needs to come up with a new admin team, but as i said before that will never happen because "Holla Forums" in itself is too well known. Even if the most perfect user became a board owner, it will be dead
Andrew Clark
Hotwheels pussying out, Mark being a fat Jew, the idea of chans going the way of the dodo as the internet becomes a corporate owned hugbox. Take your pick.
That shit never fucking works. We don't have the numbers to jumpstart another board, and without numbers most people won't see the point in migrating. You'd think Holla Forums would already have done that considering what a cesspit imkamfy turned the place into, but we simply lack the critical mass to do anything.
Holla Forums is doomed to a slow and miserable death as it slowly bleeds users away, and with it goes the last vestige of the old internet.
Blake Carter
I'm away of how we went to shit. A common enemy united us even with Reddit for a while to some degree. If people want to deny this they can but I remember redditers coming on here all the time and the giant debates as to whether we should allow it or not. And I'de say GG did some good but not enough. It did a lot to show off how fucking insane the SJW's are that's for sure. It even brought a lot of ones we didn't expect out of the woodwork.
Luis Howard
>>>/polk/ but it's slow.
Parker Ward
GG fucked itself over, precisely because they allowed reddit in their midst, who then proceeded to turn it into another exercise in virtue signaling and attention whoring with all the screeching about ethics and PR.
Didn't /polk/ migrate to another board?
Adam Miller
But we do. When a bunch of people leave a game server it sometimes discourages others if people immediately don't rush back to fill the gaps. then with a low player count people end up leaving because "fuck it's dead"
/games/ is at least a solution instead of sitting on our asses and crying. it still sees posts and the board owner actually keeps a meta thread going as a "feedback and shitpost" thread
Lincoln Williams
nigger the board owner of /polk/ is a fucking Spencer loving TRSodomite.
Samuel Sanchez
I'm not really griping against the board, just remembering the good old days. I think a lot of people seem to discount how badly the site shitting itself during the Infinity Next days damaged the userbase.
Lucas Sullivan
Is there any BO out there that isn't a complete faggot?
Easton Taylor
People losing interest fucked GG.
Brody Gray
If you want people to join your board. You gotta spam it. Like this.
you cant jumpstart a board because every user that cared is gone and is probably not giving a shit about chans anymore, i don't know why im still here because watching the board go to shit sucks
allowing reddit in was the problem, 8ch is effectively dead because reddit users are a bunch of normal and moralfags that create console war threads, pc masterrace bullshit, underrated games threads, allow shitty generals to stay up, and a multitude of other shit threads that most people dont care about.
The site shitting itself was a problem but it kept others out. We knew it would work, but the majority didnt.
You can't ask that question. No one is perfect but there are people who don't know how to moderate, a.k.a. Mark and his mod team. Anyone can do that as long as their personal feelings dont get in the way. But there is no incentive since they are not paid. Shockingly the only way to get decent discussion is to pay for it then when the money dries up any normal person would change. Captialism works, shocking.
fuck off we know very well being much centrists doesnt work against SJWs
Sebastian Wright
That too, but people lost interest specifically because they got tired of being constantly told of fighting with one hand tied behind their backs while leftists kept hitting below the belt. Oh, and not being allowed to frame the argument in any other way that "ethics in game journalism", and getting banned for arguing for going after developers that expressed Marxist views.
Reddit was always here retard. The point that was forced from day 1 was that if you're going to migrate here you need to learn the lurk more rule. And for a while it worked until the mods started losing interest.
Being an extremist doesn't either. Funnily enough facts do a good job.
When were the SJW's during GG ever winning enough for you to be able to say that they were going for below the belt? They hurt themselves more than GG ever did when it was in full swing.
Zachary Allen
So why is GG dead and they still in power?
Sebastian Young
He said they hurt themselves more than GG hurt them, not that GG ever won.
Blake Carter
Leftists are (sort of). The actual SJW's who I identify with people as Zer and shit are in the process of continuing to shoot themselves in the foot. Name 1 game that they've released that's been largely successful recently.
Carter Davis
Yea I heard of those before.. I swear that there was a /vg/ board too wasn't there?
This tbh. The speed is because of the summerfags most likely.
I think GG was practically broken after Jim left. If he wasn't so afraid of the spotlight, he could have pretty much led the revolution seeing as he fucking started it all off.
Except Mark was nowhere to be seen :^)
Leo Martinez
Reminder to everyone to ignore Holla Forums threads sage Holla Forums threads report Holla Forums threads cakejoo better bring the funny if he wishes to remain a honorary ayyryan
GG got fucked because it turned into cancer. Just go look at that festering general here on Holla Forums. Its worse then Chris Chan's "vagina".
Michael Rodriguez
They did just fine fucking themselves over without GG though.
They don't give a shit if something they make is successful, their whole raison d'être is to spite us and destroy what we love. They're perfectly willing to burn millions to shit on us since they have the likes of Soros and most Western governments backing them.
It's Chanology 2.0, and tore itself apart due to the same normalfag moralfagging.
Aaron Morgan
It's cancer because anybody of noteriety left and the cancer is all that's left. Again, people lost interest.
So basically they spend their time complaining on the internet. They can't really "destroy" what we love if they're not a part of actually contributing to trying to do so.
Carter Hughes
That's just the number of UIDs that have posted. That doesn't mean they're still here.
Nathan Gray
Looks to me they're doing a superb job of it.
Isaac Martin
at least tabletop like DnD can still survive due to DMs and creative minds who tell them to fuck off. You don't have to follow lore strictly and can create your own shit, even if the handbooks are awful. You just need to know if the math has changed or any major rules have changed
Parker Roberts
While I do agree the point is that they're getting pozzed too. You can ignore the cancer, doesn't meant it's not there, or that it should be tolerated.
John Jones

You're misinterpreting a group of faggots for another group of faggots. Nice job there bucko.
Grayson Martinez
Oy gevalt!
Brandon Richardson
Lolno. That's extremist liberals. SJW's whine on the internet and make terrible walking simulators. Nice digits though.
Blake Powell
Did you check the board log to verify that it was indeed a volunteer or mark deleting the threads instead of the OPs deleting the threads or just them falling off the board? You speak a lot of words and none of them really matter until you provide proof. We won't self-moderate by throwing around blind accusations, so you have to try better than that.
Brayden Reyes
Nice fear mongering. This website lets you create your own boards, go ahead and do it and then you can see all the powers a board owner and volunteers have.
Dylan Kelly
Mods prune threads for retarded reasons all the time man. Where the fuck have you been?
For bans you can also check 8ch.net/bans.html which is handier since Holla Forums is one of the most hotpocketed boards on the site due to being one of the most populous, so it's more or less a split Holla Forums-Holla Forums-Holla Forums-/a/ ban-log.
Colton Edwards
I'm just saying that mods do delete threads all the time despite them being vidya related. The reasons they have are often arbitrary.
Aaron Peterson
Oh no I'm aware of that, hell just yesterday that Cobalt vol bumplocked a thread about the Metroid 2 remake's amiibo features in favor of one that was already past bump-limit and on page 8, and I caught him dismissing reports for the bumplocked thread which I'm forced to assume were complaints or questions about why he locked an active thread in favor of a dead one which by all rights he shouldn't have done. There's not enough vols to really keep the place afloat, and since they can't confer with eachother in any reasonable fashion it's often a free-for-all playground for whichever vol is on at the time unless Mark awoke from his pastry coma.
Aiden Hughes
My mistake, he flat-out locked it, he didn't bumplock it. I don't know if he ever actually did unlock it, probably not.
Brody Gray
He didn't. The Metroid 2 jewmibo shit really triggered the vol.
Leo Stewart
You shouldn't try speaking for everyone else when you're conveying your opinion. Board matters concern us all here, but Is making an assertion/presumption. Also you don't have to be here long to know how bad things are. Without even looking at the links in you should know, unless you've only been here short term, or you've been ignoring it.
I checked the ban list earlier as well, but I think the board log is generally better for keeping track of hot pocket activities which is probably why it only gets brought up every so often.
I still haven't forgiven him for that fucking cake incident. >Implying Mark won't eat infinite cakes on infinite chan
Chase Rivera
The mods get extremely defensive when you mention Amiibo's in a negative light. They flag it as consolewar shit despite the fact that there's usually about a dozen threads that are worse offenders. The pic I posted in this ban pic might STILL be grounds to a ban.
Easton Sanchez
( lol ) the mods are clearly fascist
Julian Richardson
...
Carter Smith
ROB and 4AM threads are the biggest cancer on this board. There is no reason for them to be here.
Brody Garcia
And why the fuck are meta threads bumplocked instead of stickied.
Cooper Bennett
Mark is a newfag that doesn't really know how imageboard culture and guidelines work, unless we get a new BO making meta threads is absolutely useless.
Jace Clark
This board is dead and this website is dead there, (most importantly imageboard culture is dead),is no reason to try and get the faggot ass piece of shit moderators or cucked board owner to improve, mark and his merry band of faggots may be the worst group of moderators to ever "grace" the face of the internet, they have not improved anything they dont listen to their users their primary demographic they refuse to improve to the necessities of their users and a very basic post quality standard, but believe it or not there are actually a lot of problems that are out of their control basic imageboard problems that havent been relevant for years that are now becoming relevant again. Problems with the sites design ect.
So basically its over. Give up. Nothing is ever going to change for the better or improve, no one cares about you, no one cares about us.
Cameron Murphy
Alright since there are a bunch of new friends here (just kidding I know you're shills) I'll clear up some complaints.
Read the rules, and then read the rule regarding duplicate threads again.
It's a warning ban, you're complaining about an 8 minute ban in which the reason stated is console wars and that it is only a warning. I'm sorry but you are total faggots. The ban is justified, that was clearly console war shit from cuckchan.
Read the rules and then read the rule regarding meta threads again.
Yes yes, I am surprised you didn't tell people to go to your favorite image board. Why are you even here if you hate this place so much?
Mason Perry
Do tell how bad things are. I want to know, tell me.
Nolan Wilson
These vidya threads you refer to, do they perhaps resemble the trash that floats around in the piss that is half/v/?
Levi Clark
You should not be surprised I didn't "tell people to go to my favorite image board" cause if you had reading comprehension beyond that of a fetus you would see I clearly stated in my post that image boards and image board culture is dead. I rarely ever come here anymore. But just for the sake of conversation why wouldn't I be here? Is it bad to regularly fight to try and improve things? Where else is there to go? I dont go to 4chan like you, and all the other imageboard that have broken off from this one are even worse and sketchier then this honey pot? Hence the end of my post.
You are the cancer that killed image boards and Holla Forums in particular. You cant disprove any of the arguments brought against your point of view so you wrap everyone who disagrees with you up into a tight knit group with a little bow on it and you label them an arbitrary term and then completely disregard everything they say. Bravo cancer, you have won. You got everything you ever wanted. I hope you are happy with yourself.
Kevin James
This is pretty accurate, i've been using imageboards for 13 years and outside of cuckchan every single imageboard dies the same way.
I had a lot of hope for this place and i worked my ass helping in several ways but when it comes to Holla Forums mark never listened to me or any other knowledgeable user.
You are the kind of faggot that's killing 8ch, screaming shill and ignoring opinions is just retarded hugbox mentality and detrimental to actually solving the problems at hand.
I don't like to speak for other anons but i think in this case the answer is obvious, 8ch may be shit but is quite literally the only place that allows "wrong-think" and non-mainstream opinions.
Aiden Campbell
Oh I call you that for good reasons, spam attacks and database leaks don't happen on this site for no reason. Every meta thread the same thing "this place is shit now guys let's go to 4chan".
Did you even apply for volunteer a few weeks ago?
Charles Rogers
Are you a vol? You sound like someone who's in charge. It's a shame you weren't there when the thread was active instead of buried in page 10.
Henry Ross
I miss most of the meta threads, but I read them all. I take them seriously but I can't help but see a lot of new friends here complaining that this place isn't like halfchan. If you want to complain about volunteers or mark absolutely do it, but you need concrete evidence of us fucking up or else it might as well be another frustrated shitposter ranting about his ban.
Owen Young
Use the board log, archive or screenshot threads and posts you think we're wrongfully deleted and we will clarify. Rant about some thread or other without even pointing a finger at someone in particular and all we can do is trust the other volunteers had good reason to take action. If you don't agree with the rules themselves that is another matter.
Blake Moore
Battlefield thread was not deleted, it's bugged. When this happens report the thread so vols can fix it.
Xavier Cruz
Indeed, it's right here:
On any 404 page it says: followed by explanations on how to fix it. This not a new error.
If a thread 404s but is still visible in the catalog, it's broken, not deleted.
Camden Roberts
I fucking know it's a rule, but it's a stupid rule made just so you guys can hide any complaints. Most boards sticky meta threads so people can actually see them and give their input.
Yes. No.
Who the fuck here would suggest people go back there? We just want this place to improve.
Chase Sanders
Retarded assumptions are not good reasons or can you actually prove with facts that me or the other user are shills?
Some anons complain rightfully about this place and ignoring them because a bunch of shitposters is completely retarded.
Stop calling anons shills and reply to their arguments instead.
Why wasn't the rabbit attention whore thread deleted? why are LOL threads still being allowed? why is nobody cleaning GG from faggots derailing for nearly a month? why the fuck are you allowing the same autists fill the webm thread? how about hit and run OP's that leave their threads to be filled with shitpost after their dumb questions has been answered? how about obvious summer spoon-feeding threads like the one asking ISO's? what about Holla Forums /christian/ Holla Forums leaking everywhere?
There is a lot more shit going on and if you have been using this place since the first exodus you should be able to recognize the problems most of the time without us spelling it out every single time.
In the end you can put a bandage on the problems by deleting/banning but that won't fix this place at all, what we need is to start taking ideas from anons who offer solid arguments and finding someone willing to be "the bad guy" to enforce this ideas.
Austin Clark
Every rule exists for a reason, maybe anons made too many meta threads and they began to be redirected to a meta board and bumplocked. I can assure you at least I read them all, even if they are bumplocked. We have nothing to hide regarding our actions, we have monthly meta threads. This month's meta came late but I reminded mark to do it and he'll do it this Friday or weekend.
Shills.
Henry Brown
At least sticky the official monthly threads then, so people don't miss it.
Alexander Flores
The answer to your first questions is "mark" and "board culture". I know board culture might sound retarded but sharing vidya comics and webms is nearly contained in these threads. As far as I know Mark was the only reason rabbit threads lasted as long as they did but they are gone now. I might be wrong about that, maybe other vols didn't want it removed or didn't care either way, I don't want to speak for anyone.
Regarding moderation in these threads, I can speak only of my approach to them, but the results take into account every volunteer action or inaction towards them so maybe we all think alike regarding LOL and webm threads. They are an outlet to share everything so we tolerate non vidya content as long as the op is vidya.
Requests for games outside of share threads are always locked or deleted, you have no reason to complain.
You need to realize moderation had to be flexible sometimes or else you end up with /a/ or Holla Forums. It was decided that Holla Forums wouldn't be moderated like those boards and I agree because video games are about having fun.
I'll ask mark to do it, no promises.
Jack James
Goons and /int/, please fuck off.
Lucas Green
This along with "MUH SELF MODERATION BOARD APPROACH" is probably the cringiest shit that i ever heard from Mark, anyone who repeats this is a fucking imbecile that never experienced early 4chan imageboard culture and guidelines.
You can share different kinds of content without turning threads into USELESS CONTAINMENT THREADS but like 99% problems plaguing our board the answer lies in experience and practical application of imageboard knowledge that mark and most vols don't have.
Tell me, what's the point of keeping around threads that offer absolutely nothing of value to our board outside of keeping autistic shitposters from screeching? if i were the BO i could easily fix this problem by making stricter rules for this threads and just fucking banning the shitposters that refuse to contribute OC or follow this said rules.
But i have, there have been plenty threads lately about people requesting spoon-feeding from people asking from ISO's, emulator configuration, torrents, etc. instead of just asking in the proper threads and i think it's because mods/vols are not hard enough when it comes to punishment those who break the rules.
Flexible means favoritism and will do nothing but divide the community over stupid decisions, if you don't enforce every single rule for all anons equally then you are not running a imageboard, you are running a hugbox.
It was decided by Mark and his cronies because for the past 2+ years he hasn't taken into consideration anons outside of his butt-budies and autistic screechers.
Games being about fun is not argument to let everyone do as they please and drag the quality of the board to the ground, you can have fun contributing to discussions without acting like a fucking uneducated nigger.
Camden Anderson
Is this child pornography?
Jose Martinez
FUCK OFF MARCHE GO PISS SOME LEFTIES OFF AND GET BANNED ON TWITTER AGAIN
Easton Jenkins
No, it's furry pornography.
Jeremiah Flores
I suggest you apply for volunteer next time.
Ryan Kelly
I've tried several times before but it never worked and never will because i can't get along with the cake jew, so i really have no intention to keep wasting time with that route.
At this point in time i can only offer my knowledge about how to manage imageboards/communities FOR FREE and i prefer to do it in a way that all anons can participate in the discussion, after all i'm getting to old for this shit and the younger anons are the ones that will have to fight to keep imageboard culture alive when my generation is gone.
Meta threads always remind me of mod-tan, i miss her.
Jeremiah Scott
If you were rejected more than once I have bad news for you.
James Ramirez
I never said i was rejected, i said it didn't work. I don't support the majority of decisions taken by board or site owners so i rather avoid unnecessary "staff drama" and just be a common user that offers advice whenever he can.
Ideas and arguments don't need to be backed by a face or a title to be good.
Levi Jenkins
So you were a vol and quit or whatever?
Jaxson Cooper
Read the thread. I already gave some examples in the OP as well. But if the threads are bugged, I assume that's a matter still somewhat within your control. I can give an example of a prime fuckup a while back though. I tried creating a thread about mech warrior living legends a while back, but it seemed to be caught in some indefinite loop. Soon after, 3 identical threads had popped up and it had become clear that instead of posting 1 thread, the system had posted several Yes.. That was me. So the error messages that it was giving to me in the first place were in fact, false. After a while Mark or one of the other hot pockets, but mark came into the thread denying responsibility woke up from his cake coma and deleted the threads with the most traffic and kept the thread with the least amount of active discussion. In response to this, several anons, including myself objected, to which fuck all happened.
And this isn't even to mention the threads that (((bug))), instead simply disappearing.

Tyler Long
For anyone still wondering by the way, here are the rules >8ch.net/v/rules.html Since they're not stickied or anything
Ryan Phillips
You're an idiot.
Benjamin Nelson
Except it wasn't a console war in the context of the discussion retard. Fuck off.
David Reyes
Rule 8 was a mistake. Vols are doing nothing but shutting down threads they don't like. This thread is proof enough that they would rather quiet the bad goyim.
Jeremiah Ward
Mark's a kike, of course rules are broad exactly for that reason. It's the same with real life laws, if some greasy shylock interprets them in the way they want to get you, you can get arrested for pretty much any arbitrary reason. Sure it might not stand in front of a jury but you'll still have to pay out the ass to make sure you are still free at the end of the day.
Christian Hall
Means a great deal coming from (you).
Wyatt James
I was going to make some quality posts in this thread but there is really no point seeing as how the point of those posts would be to create a discussion. Since the shitty thin skinned mods cant handle criticism a long time a go they made it so that these threads get bump locked and they dont even read them, not ever changes or improves because of this. No one important is going to read my points and the thread is dead so why bother.
Parker Myers
Damn, same, I thought I was the only one of the old guard left. I am not sure why I didnt give up earlier maybe its cause I still secretly have hope. I find that most of the people who actually were there when imageboards were good tend to come to these threads to try and improve the site and board. You should probably know 4chan is dying too, and so is imageboard culture, but I digress. I know how you feel, I mean this place was actually pretty good for pretty much the entirety of 2014. I certainly did my part by putting in more then my fair share of quality posts and good discussion and trying to teach others to do the same. It didnt really work I guess.
I never said that so you are a retard for smashing me into that group with out any evidence. No I didnt, why would I do that? I would be a volunteer for about a day before I was kicked out, cause I would be telling mark, no unlike anyone else in the world. I would be enforcing the rule equally and fairly. I hadnt even heard about it cause I bearly even come here anymore, this site and board is already peaking at stage 4 self inflicted terminal cancer, its unusable. Nothing ever improves why should I waste my quality posts on on this undeserving website?
Brayden Williams
Never trust a goon.
Oliver Howard
There is not much discussion to be had when meta threads don't even have a proper structure to address problems.
Meta threads are usually a couple anons making walls of text and offering solutions and bunch of faggots posting "le funnay cake jew xDD!","i dindu nuffin why i'm banned", "ban or delete x thread because i said so", "everyone is a shill!!!!" etc. Guess which posts get replies from mark and which ones get ignored?
That trip was probably caused by moot's jewish heritage.
Matthew Harris
Could have been worse. I remember an user giving Josh 1k
Adrian Barnes
Can you explain me the reason for allowing a thread with a shitty OP that will attract shitposting(already shitposted) and locking the proper one ?
Why didn't you just deleted the shit one and redirected anons to the proper one?
