Meta Thread

Proper meta thread since the last one tried to half ass it.

Sonic mania thread got deleted because of 12 game overs. Quality moderation cakekike.

No, it got deleted since I don't want you niggers to half ass the meta thread.

Do it right or don't do it at all.

Also don't LIE about your fucking bans, I have enough shit to deal with right now.

This guys talks about derailed threads, but fails to mention that the talk of the Switch port was in a fucking PS3 thread and he was derailing the thread himself.

Additionally they were shitting up one of the Xenoblade threads because of that Cody faggot, I ended up banning them both. That and mobile shit is still Video Games, anyone who shits up those threads is gonna get banned for shitting up a video games thread. Don't like the game? Use the filter feature.

Let's fuck, big boy.

Do you know the way?

Just the way to your heart.

I feel like I'm being baited into gay sex

Don't lie about your bans? Nigger I've never been banned in my life! I'm a good goy I think you'll find.
I just wanted Sonic Mania discussion and you've got a (1) bitching about getting banned for whatever shittery he does and you delete the thread because discussion about Sonic Mania inevitably leads to 12 game overs and you think that's meta.

It's not really bait when you know what you're getting into. ♥

You haven't posted a damn thing about Sonic Mania in nine hours. Also look at the logs, I never even banned the OP. I only deleted the thread since it was clearly a meta thread with the whole 12 game overs meme right from the get go.

I'd take you up on the offer if I was actually gay

sadly I'm not a faggot when it comes to sexual preference

Oh come on Mark. Aren't you a massive fag?

Mark must submit to Pakistan's greatest warrior and hand over BOship.

I wish I was, I even tried gay porn. however cocks are a turn off.

Paki didn't want it.

Just the right man for the job then.

HET HOMO GEMEENTE

Shouldn't you be asleep markymark?

Clearly I haven't posted about Sonic Mania in the past 9 hours seeing as I haven't played the damn game yet and therefore have little to contribute and I've just woken up just over 2 hours ago.
Anyway, I liked the thread discussing the 12 game overs thing, that was making me interested in getting the game.

mark ban him,nobody frequenting this board should go without at least 1 ban evasion under their belt

Don't make me use my never used VPN.

...

My respect for you is reaching new lows man

...

What the fuck do you use then?

a dynamic IP?

He probably accepts every arbitrary ban the kike hands out with shameful compliance.

Strange day ,not to mention rime of the day, to hold a meta thread though Mark; did you have anything particular in mind or are you just shooting the shit as usual?

I suppose I could do that, actually I'm pretty sure my IP is already dynamic but I have a VPN and if I was to be banned I'd have a reason to use it instead of just letting it be there without much use.
It'd at least validate the existence of it, you know?

Oh yeah, we need a rule to replace all youtube embeds with hooktube ones.

Meta thread? More like meet-up thread. Stop with the faggotry if you want respect.

i don't believe that even Mark is that debased

Or we can just keep things the same, since the board doesn't need a management change. Things are 99% on topic, the exception being the 4am and LOL threads. Which we now bumplock on sight because of this.

Why do you even want a new Board Owner? Because you want to radically change the board? or I'm Jewish and Autistic? If it's the former you're out of your fucking mind if you think I'm letting Holla Forums become another Holla Forums, if it's the other then stop being a bitch. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna be a bitch and just go over everything right now.

There's a ton of talk about me being incompetent since I don't delete some video game thread or because I bitch and whine sometimes. But the team does what needs to be done, I don't wanna be some kind of invisibro tier hotpocket who does nothing at all, but at the same time I don't wanna be like imkamfy or Acidman who bans people at the slightest notion of being a shill.

The reason why I allow VNs and don't delete Mobile threads is for consistency, I don't like these games personally. However I know that they're video games and despite my distaste for gachashit, they must be allowed on the board.

As for the Nintendo shit, let's be honest here. Nintendo threads get a fuckton of fanboys who are rejects from cuckchan who just wanna shit up those threads, just because cuckchan is filled with a fuckton of Nintendrones. I do admit I like Nintendo games, however I'll also admit that Treehouse is fucking cancer. the Switch needs another year before it hits its prime, Zelda is fucking shit, Pokemon needs a much better post game, an actual challenge mode, and a way to catch all of the pokemon without having two fucking versions, Miyamoto is fucking cancer and should just fucking retire, same with Sakurai, Aonuma, Sakamoto and most of Nintendo's old top brass. At this point I'm more of a SEGA fanboy than anything else.

With that said the reason I'm so strict with console wars is because that shit is one of the things that made cuckchan so bad. I don't care if you call the Switch a piece of shit, the PS4 a lackluster PC, or Valve a bunch of incompetent fools. However you and I know when it comes to a certain point that some cuckchan tier anons just get obnoxious about these things.

Rule 8 is to combat people who shit up threads, off topic posting and overall cancer in general. There have been people who try to derail threads with political shit, console war faggotry, off topic shitposting and the like. I use Rule 8 to combat these things, perhaps some of Rule 8's bans apply to Rule 4 or Rule 1. But there's usually a good reason for it.

Political shit is allowed, however not in threads that aren't political. That should be obvious, like I can kinda understand that with Wolf 2 Bethesda brought it on themselves, there was no saving those threads since Bethesda themselves were trying to bitch about muh alt right instead of actually talking about the game, and they paid the price because of it. I doubt we'll be able to save the Far Cry 5 threads either.

4am and most LOL threads are straight up bumplocked since they're no longer video games, the reason why we don't delete them outright is because people will start spamming the board and revolting. So a better alternative is to just let them have their thread that I agreed to letting them have three years ago.

So yeah, let me know if I missed anything. I'll bitch and whine sometimes, but I learned not to ban someone if they're a shill, mainly because anyone can be a shill and throwing a panic over nothing just leads to another gghq situation. It's best to treat these things individually rather than going on a panic rampage.

Also yes, I'm fucking shit at video games. Nothing wrong with that. What matters is that you have fun playing them.

Also I'm mad at the nigger who lied about his bans, not at

liars are faggots

Ok thats alright but you should really just nuke 4am threads

What?

frankly I'm just happy most people are enjoying the board, that's what matters.

...

Nah, he shouldn't be banned for something so trivial.

me irl

...

I went to bed at 10pm and can't go back to sleep.

I think you're a good enough hotpocket, although I still think that Sonic Mania thread could have been decent had you let it go on.

Here

Yeah seriously, fuck the 4am spergs, it's obvious they just want le ebin sekrit klub leddit, they contribute NOTHING to board quality at all. Fuck LOL too for that matter.

I dunno, OPs with a meta meme usually fall into meta shitposting. Best to do it properly without the meme.

Would you rather them become another foolz?

Just out of curiosity, do you have any actual data on that?

So did you have something particular in mind for this meta thread?Some big change to the board your suicide and resignation preferably or are you just shooting the shit and see what sticks?
Last time a meta thread yielded anything of any value was when the name field got nuked,i miss those times

Yes, it's called browsing the board. It's still fun to use and we still have discussions about video games. Also if people hated this site so much they would've moved to meguca.org, endchan, 8ch.ph or some other image board that has a Holla Forums. Granted we have the occasional faggot, however they're usually talked down swiftly, or I usually take care of it.

Y'ever hear from hotwheels anymore?

I'm gonna continue owning this board just to spite you.

If you shitpost in them to the point that they're beyond salvageable, those faggots will leave and it'll get nuked. Just have to be vigilant and drive the "quality" of those threads into the fucking ground.

Not really, he's alive but last I heard he was making 200k on real estate or some shit.


also I'm gonna continue to keep the status quo. There's no big changes that need to be made.

?

DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE CUCKCHAN RAPEFUGEES ALREADY

holy shit Mark you fat fuck, if you dont supress the cuckchanners soon any chemo will be too late, front page is full of inorganic cuckchan template threads already
if you dont crack down on newfags hard full/v/ will be a mirror image of half/v/ in a matter of weeks

Oh yeah, considering I'm in the meta thread what's the deal with the monster hunter threads?
They've gotten pretty shit lately.
Lots of people there to just shit on the newest iteration without playing the game or posting rooms.
People sperging about the same old discord that's always been used to hunt and chat on.

i guess we'll have to do this the hard way then i'll just have to find your adress and keep sending pastrieslaced with strychnineto it until you eventually OD

I'd wondered. Thanks. Hope he's happy, whatever he's into now.

No one reports anything, also the new game does look casualized as hell.


Yeah I just bumplocked the TES thread, but I'll probably unbumplock it when it gets better.

Also some of those threads have potential like the drive faggotry one and the space dogfighters despite starting out a bit shitty

...

Last I heard he also considers his job at Holla Forums a failure. Which I strongly disagree with, but I can't change the way he feels.

It's fine, that's the feeling I got. I was thinking about hard data but it's not really important in the end.

Didn't he blame himself for all that's happened with Josh?

Way to drive the nail in.

He does. It's very unfortunate.

he should,it was his fault.Everybody wanred him about that lolcow but he still stuck his neck out and vouched for him

8ch has been pozzed since the GG faggotry took hold, though. That alone literally gives halfcucks reason to come here, because that shit is blocked on their board. If the massive nosedive of quality wasn't indicative enough.

It sucks, but it can't be helped.


This isn't the official meta thread, but I wanted to have one anyway.

This is wrong, political threads are deleted very often, especially if it's Holla Forums flavor.
You're okay, just don't forget you do go overboard with moderation with Nintendo as the topic, I've seen it myself, and you're known for throwing shit fits where you bandelete everyone.

So early 2014 when the exodus started?


The issue is that he was too trusting I feel, I don't wanna blame it on HW since I feel he's more of a victim than anything.

Only because people try to constantly shit those threads up.

Oh and by political shit, I mean vidya political shit.

What do you suppose would happen if nobody, absolutely nobody would even respond to a shit thread and just forever ignore it? How do you suppose OP would feel if not even shitposters think his thread is worth their time?

halfcucks come here because theyre being banned for "racism" over there en masse you retard

I consider halfchan to be reddit at this point, like "racism" seriously? What a bunch of jewish niggers.

You're a shit mod/admin but you're alright you goofy heeb.

Serious question for the floor: If you don't like the current owner, who do you propose as a replacement? Because we could easily end with 4chan's new boss, same as the old one.


Leave the thread open for a reasonable time before you make that call. Half the world's asleep.


Since you made the effort, let's go into this. Overall, not much to complain about.
Dubs posting seems to survive this.
If a game has no interest from the board except to complain about political stuff in it maybe just not have it at all? Treat it as a not-game. Certainly there's not much more to say about Wolf2: preggers tits and nigger nazis, oh my!
I'll only say to allow them if a lot of their traffic is from otherwise on-topic posters. Otherwise it's not board culture but a ghetto of foreigners who don't belong.


There's a difference between sucking up to people, doing your job, and posting stupid shit as in


See above.


Utopian thoughts are unhealthy.

At this point we are getting faggot that are saying Gondola is a forced meme, saying games like NV, STALKER, Deus Ex, etc are shit. Why aren't these faggots lynched? And I'm not just talking about them disagreeing, they are actually lying about games as if they haven't played them.

OP would probably try again and in the end bait people into responding anyway, by samefagging to foment discussion, for instance.

Do you really not anticipate that a braindead template thread creator wouldn't proceed to just spam their useless topic until it did get a response, much like that armored vehicle combat thread that coated the whole board a short while ago?

I think those kinds of OPs would see a lack of response as a problem of exposure, rather than anything wrong with their garbage conversation starter. You see this kind of shit all the time with threads using identical topics cropping up every week after the last one dies with 30 replies.


This.

OP will IP-hop and bump the thread in perpetuity,with the slower speed of Holla Forums a thread could be maintained for weeks that way

I've thought about that too, but in the end I just decide to bumplock those threads when they get to that point since we don't wanna hinder discussion either.

Best to bully them

Why can't I do my job and post stupid shit like ?

You know these fuckers are dense as shit and are probably doing it just to spite? Lynch 'em.

report em and we'll check it out

gondola is high art

That isn't your job.

I'm gonna watch Dragon Ball and drink some Hot coco now. We'll have a proper thread next week.

but I CAN do both.

I did, specifically this post >>14107735 i think. I guess this time it could slide since that thread went place. But its still supreme faggotry, and he was very dedicated to being a little shit.

I'll take care of this one

take it easy, fagola.

If you want to look like an immense faglord then sure.

You see you keep pulling this thing out of your arse as excuse every single time but we had yet to experience any sort of spergery when other threads got removed.

Would be to remove Ritsu on sight rather than have everybody suffer a rule -the hotpockets don't like this- 8 ban.
What even was the fucking point of making the avatarfag addition because of 4am when 4am is not even moderated anymore?

stop getting baited in picking sides Mark,the filter exists for a reason.This is literally 'ban everything i don't like' tier
AND STOP DELETING POSTS GODDAMMIT

Fucking hell, just let it die. A shit thread won't become any better with or without your input just because you can't help yourself from laughing at others loudly. It saves yourself some time too. Just because OP barely puts in any effort in her thread doesn't mean you need to set an equally worthless example, instead you could make a good quality post with the silent implication that OP should step up her game if she wishes to not lose face, or don't put any effort in at all by not posting at all. All OP would be doing in her perpetual hunger for attention is make an absolute fool of herself the harder she tries until he gives up, to the silent derision of everyone else.

This is something I don't get, not enough people here feel like they should bother putting in effort if the other person doesn't either. Like everyone expects the other to raise the standards of discussion, and this is absolutely infuriating. I've seen people capable of having a good discussion, but they choose to shitpost because they believe the person they're responding to is not worth the effort. You need to pull people out of their fucking shells to get a good discussion going because almost nobody wants to take the initiative anymore. And those who do often get derided as autists, it's as if everyone is complaining about wanting to be saved while actively and unintentionally making things worse.

This is also doubly infuriating because nobody seems to realize that bait is very easily dealt with just by asking the baiter to explain herself. All you do is ask a simple question, and she needs to step up her game if she doesn't want to look like an absolute retard in front of everyone else. Either she turns out to be genuine in her opinions, she gives you some non-arguments you can simply inquire further into, or she bails knowing that she reeled in a 2 ton pound autistic poker-faced whale who doesn't show the slightest bit of emotion, as the bait is derailed to inquiring about said opinions rather than a tired slugfest of NO U.


If the mods would actively refresh volatile threads and delete shitposts right before they were seen by anyone else, a lot of hurt could be spared, on top of giving the faggot the impression that nobody wants to respond to her

Oh well, see you next week.

That ship sailed 3 years ago, and you keep letting it happen. Your response to this (and every moderation concern) is always "report more." But reports are ignored because apparently as long as there's some tenuous connection to video games and none of your poorly written rules are being blatantly broken the vols won't touch it. Since you're only on for 2 hours out of the day, playing with Holla Forums like a toy before getting bored and going out to be a normalfag, a lot of things you think are fine are not fine at all.

who decides which is which?You?Some random fag in a meta thread?Sounds to me like you want a namefag forum,it's not that you lack options in that department

An issue with most threads lately is that OP's are fucking empty.
"Hey anons, I like this game. All right, see ya."
Where do you go from there?
It's a common symptom of anons who don't even know what they made their thread for so it's no surprise they can't hold a simple civil conversation about it either.

The thing about bait is that sometimes it's more alluring that the actual damn thread. You know it's some faggot baiting but the reply you can give to it would be of more value than a reply to OP who made a thread about "iunno, recommend me games with tits".

Personally I'd say we need a few more OC threads to bring back some kind of community feeling where anons work together to brighten the mood and liven up the board.

Bullshit, we still talk about games on Holla Forums. Not to mention we usually take care of the political shitposting


Then fucking do it.


If a thread is video games then it's fine, I'm not deleting mobile shit and VNs because you don't like them. Holla Forums is for video games, not just "video games I like".


They're as straightforward as they get, if you don't understand them I highly suggest you lurk more.


I'm on here for like at least six hours a day. Sometimes I'm on mobile, other times I'm on my computer. Either way I'm here more than I probably should be.


Well shit, guess it's time to #CloseTheGate

Template or oekaki threads are always fun.

...

Are you a granblue/fate money whale? Be honest, jew.

Honestly, I never got into it. I tried both Fate GO and GranBru, and it just wasn't my thing

Personally i don´t mind the friday night threads since its only made on friday but 4am threads are made everyday and they have their own board for crying out loud.
Ritsu is the one that usually makes the threads so a temp ban would be really good for him and his lackeys.

wew
I don't report video game threads I don't like. I report Holla Forums derailing, GG outside its containment, and low-effort one line OPs like "what's the x of video games." I used to make reports numerous times a day. I don't bother anymore because the vast majority were ignored and I'm not into wasting my time trying to do the vols' job for them.
Oh yes, I almost forgot the other defense mechanism you constantly employ.

They probably bumplocked it instead, maybe you should check the log and actually have something to back it up rather than just spouting bullshit.


Board's in good shape, not my fault you're autistic about GG.

In his retarded defense, GG threads are a broken shell of its former self. At least Marche stopped leaking his autism into other threads for now.

Right now there's few differences between them and 4am threads. You have the same handful of people shitposting about how the jap industry is superior, they want to fuck galko, acidman pseudo avatarfagging as Asuka every now and then, the benis and gay posting and so on.
I know that they still do some legwork from time to time, but the threads are very very homosexual and have been for a while now.

We kept banning Marche because of it, but yeah I wouldn't go as far as to say they're as off topic as 4am. I consider them a Vidya Politics General if anything.

but yeah, the GG thread has issues.

I just consider it containment if anything, GG went full retard years ago. You could probably ban everyone in them and increase board quality 10 times.

Nah they're not that terrible, they just have issues with Marche/Acidman and things like gayposting.

An understatement, but at least they avoid leaking outside, most of the time anyway.
I just wish there were a way to test if anons shitposting in GG threads were also tied to the shitposting outside them.
It wouldn't surprise me since they more or less get away with it in there.


The question is though how much they really manage to contain.
I get this feeling that most of the gay posting happening on Holla Forums is connected to anons frequenting GG threads.


Well, the gayposting is also kind of a Holla Forums issue and it's been rather bad for a while now. I know you've said before you wouldn't do it, but I think removing gayposing from Holla Forums for a while could prove beneficial.

ITT Mark trying to appease goons.

Ban fags who admit they still go to cuckchan.

He'd have to start with his earlier posts here. But no the stuff you mean is more obnoxious and derailing than that, and should be deleted.


GG is basically dead at this point. What isn't is the overall dislike of crooked journos and practices in video games.

(check)
Well, gayposting with gay imagery shoudl already be setting of alarm bells on this christian imageboard.

And it's the very same crooked journos who keep falling back on GG as excuse to be shitty. They're pretty much crashing the funeral, kick open that coffin and frankenstein the shit out of GG just so they can blame it for something retarded.

fuck you mark

A lot of the times I see these threads when they're already over the cliff, people aren't reporting the shit/bait soon enough. At that point I would have to delete 90% of the thread so I just bumplock instead.

Go away fake Mark.

Dead board is dead. GJ Jewboi.

gas the board kike when tbh
also fuck you for not banning clickbaitfag and enabling butthurt Amerifags

Oh yeah you're safe bud

Hey just a (1) passing through, wanted to leave my comment, like and subscribe but there are none of these buttons please fix it. Anyways, actually wanted to say I'm glad the board still hasn't gone the way of Holla Forums and /a/ modfags. I used to browse other boards but within the span of a couple months /a/ just started arbitrarily banning people for "not enough quality" and then Holla Forums just started banning any dissent. Now I only use Holla Forums and /liberty/, so whatever you're doing, just keep the bans low and stop banning me when I start bumping a dead thread with porn ffs

how many shekels did you burn on pngs you kike

Also ban faggots for bumping trash threads repeatedly. Some guy bumped that CP thread over 20 fucking times before pewter deleted the whole thread.

Quit appeasing the cuckchan fence-shitting newfags who still think "politics only belongs on Holla Forums". If a thread gets derailed by politics the whiny manchildren that get triggered by such can simply hide those posts by ID instead of whining to the mods like faggots.

So the guy who hates Jew jokes and Nigger jokes is the same guy who hates GG. Really roasts my almonds.

The fact that this thread still exists, despite being bumplocked, should tell you something about the health of the board.
