Seems like a bunch of anons and OPs are trying to do a coup de grace, mainly because Mark banned them for a few hours in the game night thread for shitting up the thread and then banned himself for egging them on, while asking people to make a meta thread for these things, which I am doing now.
I don't really understand why they're trying to make an exodus, especially since Mark himself admitted the fuck up. Not to mention the bans themselves were quite small when compared to the ones we got on cuckchan back in the day. Either way It's good to see new boards come out, I'm just worried that it'll splinter Holla Forums.
Also it seems that TF2V, WoW Kronos Server, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Real Time Strategy and the Elona thread have made their move. No idea why since it doesn't seem Mark really interacted with them, but whatever.
mods need to learn they're tools in a game a lot of shitposters like to play. Users know that if a thread about a certain subject they don't like is created they can shit it up for half an hour with their friends/hopping IDs, devolve discussion, and get the thread deleted thus creating censorship of topics some users may not like. All the more reason to delete shitposts/ban shitposters and not delete entire threads to appease a few ninnies.

We warned Mark that /fagcorp/ was a mistake but he didn't listen.
Half of those were part of the /fagcorp/ circlejerk. They post memes that no one understands unless you participate in their gay orgies. For example this bullshit.
general shitters are like the jews of the imageboard.
Angel Baker
Yeah but for some reason this one is getting leverage.
What does /radcorp/ have anything to do with it?
William Gutierrez
oh lord
Austin Morgan
is it even an exodus if its just to another board? I figured it was due to the rampant shit threads being made here that kept knocking the RTS general to the 13 page that anons were going there. I mean they're still going to be going here and there so I'm not concerned
not to mention they don't ban avatarfagging there, that's a plus in my book
You literally just described imageboards
Christian Thomas
i bet it is all real in your mind
Tyler Clark
Mark, you Nintendo kike, start banning shit threads. Both "how do I x" threads that can be asked in the QTDDTT threads, and "would you X" threads that spawns multiple (1) posts and never incentive any discussion. "I want to fug X" or "look at this thing" are just fucking posts you could make in a game threads without fucking killing another. Also, ban shitposters. There's a lot of good threads dying to "lol I don't care" and "shill" posts.
forcing memes is not the same as having memes needing context otherwise the triforce meme would be considered forced
Shitposters are no where near as bad as the faggots who make shitty threads When you shitpost a thread, theres a chance a good thread died
Ian Jackson
It's literally nothing.
Levi Cooper
no, shitposters are objectively worse because their standards on what makes a shitty thread is literally every thread except the general or two they jerk off each other in.
Alexander Rogers
I'll say it again. Mods need to learn to fucking read threads. Over and over again the hotpockets and mark nuke a thread simply because it's the easier option. You're a god damn moderator. Sift out the shitposts, delete those, issue a fucking ban and that's that. No need to purge entire threads unless it was garbage from the start and OP was a faggot. Same with deleting by IP.
I honestly don't understand why it's so fucking hard, but I've told this to Mark in the meta threads a couple times now, but I either get ignored or get a "we'll do better" or some other excuse. I honestly don't mind the moderation most of the time, but recently they've been so fucking sloppy it's ridiculous.
comparing post histories, it's you. Why are you defensive over generals when they invited gamefags cancer so long ago?
Joseph Sullivan
I hate it when i get banned for shitposting in a shit thread you would think that it would be acceptable to shitpost in a shit thread
William Wright
you earned it 100%, you're probably an ID hopping nigger anyway.
Luis Ross
I think both are equally bad. With shit threads, you end up killing a possibly good thread for one that most likely won't have any decent content. When you shitpost a thread, you end up killing that thread and any possible discussion it could've had, regardless of whether the OP was decent or not. They are different paths that lead to the same place, both should be discouraged and banned when in excess.
Also, this. Mark has time and time again deleted good threads because he just skimmed over the OP or because there were shitposters. You actually read the OP to see if it's decent, then, if there are shitposters, you delete and ban them. Delete by ip should only be used in case of spam. Delete all posts in thread should only be used when the user has only shitposted and has not a single post related to the thread.
It really needs to be put in bold print that you don't fucking do this without actually going over every post made under that IP first.
William Powell
I've noticed it's more a case of abundant reporting within a thread that causes it. I imagine vols see a thread with a dozen reports, they just clean house. Users also need to realize they take part in how discussion is directed. Most of the time if you do not like a thread the best course of action is to hide it or just ignore it. A shitposter who wants to see it deleted doesn't just make 1 post. They make a dozen instigating derails in the thread.
Charles Parker
Someone should make a GG bingo posthaste.
Aaron Thomas
I'm not I'm defensive over avatarfagging
please elaborate also you just described every australian poster
user, i think its more likely for a good thread to get deleted by a faggot pushing out shit threads than a single shitposter in a thread Whilst a lot of shitposters in a thread will likely kill a thread, a lot of faggots who decided to push out shit threads will kill a significantly larger amount of threads Not to mention a thread that attracts a shitload of shitposters is likely a shit thread in the first place
Michael Perez
This is what I meant by
Those posts serve nothing to the thread and they only serve to derail it and turn it into just another shitposting thread
Brandon Hall
The mods aren't lazy and they aren't incompetent. They'll delete all threads that go off the shill's sales pitch script.
It's not "so long ago" anymore. The general threads on this board have been the last bastion of actual vidya discussion with nearly every other thread being an LOL tier shitposting thread.
Oliver Carter
You are absolutely incorrect, generals still as always harbor incestuous communities who self-righteously see themselves as the last bastion against everything else. They're boring, recycled, spoon-feeding circlejerks for lame brained newfags.
Jack Ramirez
Please stay in your LOL thread and continue to hold this opinion.
Jonathan Reed
You're implying that it's just a single shitposter in a single thread. Three faggots, or just a single fag with a proxy, and a few "shill" posts can effectively destroy any thread about a game that's on sale. And they don't just stick to a single thread. Both are bad, and even if one's worse than the other, there's no reason not to threat both simultaneously if it is possible to, and it is.
I do not post in them. Where's your logical fallacy now?
Easton Davis
I never said you did, I told you not to start you emotional illiterate.
Oliver Cox
Way to be completely wrong, friendo.
Carter Thompson
you're very inconsistent. As expected of the jews of the imageboard.
Jose Hall
I have never been banned and I get baited into shitflinging matches all the time. How much of a fucking faggot do you have to be to get banned?
This.
Chase Cox
no I'm implying that if the amount of damage a newly created shit thread is one a whole thread, then if the amount of shitposters were equal to shit thread makes, the shit thread makers would deal overwhelmingly significant damage to the board I'm not saying that one is good while the other is bad, but one is so much worse than the other that i'd rather the mods putting more effort into that one than the other Also it doesn't explain why i can't shitpost in a shit thread? I mean thats literally the only reason they're made
also where do shitposters even come from?
Mason Murphy
is… is this bait?
Justin Butler
Cobalt is a tranny
John Taylor
and you suck dick OP and try too hard to make this happen it won't IP hopping won't help you fag
like a transexual tranny or a transvestite tranny?
Jaxon Diaz
here. It's mostly people upset that certain things are being discussed, look at that denuvo doesn't effect performance thread. The first thread got so much shitposting it was deleted. Users need to police themselves better, and if they can't, that's when mods should come in.
You are retarded. Kill yourself or just go hide in your general so you don't have to make any more embarrassing public statements. At least in your circlejerk over 15 year old games you'll be safe.
Oliver Gray
Tranny
Camden Walker
so shit threads breed shitposters, who could have guessed?
is the capital T for the snowflake variety?
Gabriel Parker
shit threads like generals do indeed breed shitposters that have a negative impact on the rest of the board.
Well the only way i can see getting rid of the shitposters actually happening is by focusing on deleting shitthreads, thus removing that part of their lifecycle This clearly means that making shit threads is a significantly higher problem than having shitposters infesting a not shit thread
Jackson Thompson
t. cobalt
Cooper Foster
Plenty of "shit threads" are perfectly fine threads about subjects shitposters do not want discussed. You can look at just about any non-general and see plenty of legitimate subjects be bombarded with niggers trying to derail it. Instead of hiding threads, they seek to ruin it for everyone. Something tells me you're one of them.
No he showed up in the thread, acted like a retard for a bit, banned everyone + nuked the thread (taking with it most of the unsaved OC) then blamed both sides for it. After a while it calmed down but I think some threads with long-term complaints about moderation (TF2V and the RTS Thread most notable) took it as a final straw and fucked off.
Jace Sullivan
I haven't exactly given a definition of a shit thread yet so i can't understand where you think I'm implying that some shit threads are actually fine threads please elaborate, once again i can't undertstand where you are percieving my position I have only said one thing and that is that avatarfagging should be allowed you faggots
bumplocking is limited as they just end up leaving into other threads once the thread loses its genuine goo posters deleting and banning outright is the only confirmed way at cutting them out and preventing them from breeding
Brandon Richardson
Apparently the specifics I'm hearing now is that Mark confused Holla Forums's /vg/ with 4chan's /vg/ or something?
Cooper Cruz
Nigga, the whole reason we're having this discussion is because B&Ding is causing problems.
thats because its being focused on the shitposters and not the creator of shit threads imagine if the mods deleted every single shit thread instaneous? Bam! no more shitposters, problem solved
Chase Reed
Nothing, they literally just formatted the OP of the Counter-Strike thread. I don't know where they or TF2V got involved in this stuff. I just wanted to play CS with anons.
/vg/'s new BO claims the board is for more than just generals now, anything vidya goes. Not sure if that'll last.
I think someone saved an archive of it somewhere but I've got no idea where.
Brody Parker
What constitutes as shit is subjective and evidently the current moderation team is doing a poor job at moderating to the board's liking.
Henry Rivera
But I never even fucked with TF2V or the RTS threads. The only time I even remotely touched the RTS thread was when there was a massive shitposter and I removed his posts in a number of threads.
Aiden Kelly
First an /a/ alternative like /animu/, then a Holla Forums alternative like /zenpol/ and now /vg/? What's with all these alts?
hopefully they won't ban avatarfagging although to be fair, Holla Forums has gained a lot of rules since this board came into origin, quite a few of them I disagree with I feel rules constrain posting to a certain degree and that the only rules should be for spamming, shit thread making and shilling apart from that anything seems to be fine with me, although limiting the amount of pictures in porn dumping threads might be a smart idea its really not, i like the porn dumping threads
Evan Powell
This whole thing is a fucking joke. What did you even make a meta thread for, we all know how those end. With you shitposting and leaving when the big boy topics come up.
Xavier Perry
You must be new. Admitting a mistake doesn't mean anything when it keeps happening.
It probably isn't a good idea. If /vg/ would stay as vidya general board it could end up as SFW /hgg/. At least general threads would be finally free from butthurt faggots.
Brandon Rogers
Mark looks far more handsome than that caricature.
Cooper Scott
I just know they've been complaining about moderation for a while for whatever reason, I'm not in them regularly enough for specifics.
Who knows? Maybe push is coming to shove for some anons.
Personally I'm going to post on both Holla Forums and /vg/ for the foreseeable future, worse case as I see it we get competition and that forces both boards to act better.
I'm only repeating what I've heard from fags ingame. I've been playing CS most of the weekend.
Luis Rodriguez
you literally described the problems with Holla Forums Remove rule 8 and Holla Forums would be perfect
I can guarantee it would succeed, it would be like banning knives in Britain
if you already knew it was a shitthread why didn't you sage it faggot?
Robert Powell
Shit threads kill good threads, but shitposting in threads prevent well made threads from ever becoming good fun threads. I'd say they both should receive equal attention, except shit threads should get you banned easier than an accidental shitpost("shill thread", "lol who cares" and the like obviously not being accidental). It's not like they can't police both though. which's why I'm saying both should receive equal attention. I don't think there's anything bad in shitposting while saging a shit thread in itself, however it does increase post number, therefore increasing attention to the thread. That's the reason why I like LOL threads, it creates a containment thread and limits the number of shit threads. IMO shitposting should either be banned or allowed in a GG-like(one thread only, next thread can only be made if the previous is over 700 posts and after page 10) LOL thread. Reddit and half. Half tards only want a place to shitpost and reddit retards want a place to vent while keeping the "real" discussion to reddit. They're both shitters and should both be banned.
it was either that or GoT:^) Mark found them squatting in >>>/vg/ groaning,every board was shittier than the one before and smelled fouler, by the time the sun came up they were shitposting templates.The more they posted the more templates they had but the more templates there were the less the board grew
/animu/ was made more popular partially thanks to help from GG thread, also /a/ has rather strong dislike for Holla Forums. Holla Forums had very many offshoot alts, but majority of them failed/relocated/self-destructed. Including /polk/ and many other boards that show up when you write pol in board search at index. Holla Forums is exception for this rule, but I don't really want to describe it. Even Holla Forums had few already. /vidya/, /svidya/ and few more.
Marche isn't posting there anymore. He fucked off to twatter. Everything else is right though.
Elijah Scott
/animu/ was the longest lasting alt to a legacy board in the top 25. That did came as a shock to me. Though I don't get why /a/ hates Holla Forums, but I do go to /a/ for the elf threads.
Juan Moore
It's because mark doesn't ban people for not using proper punctuation.
Gavin Murphy
Sometimes I wonder if the alt was made because of that rule. I ended up developing a habit to proofread my posts for punctuation thanks to that.
Luke Bailey
You're a idiot mark. You've literally just admitted it's a killing blow. You've fucked up terminology again. THis time your fuck up has caused you to ADMIT that Holla Forums is dying and this is going to kill it.
Because they always have. Even back on 4chan. I used to post on both, and they always liked to think they're better than Holla Forums, but it's really just the same shit. Wouldn't surprise me that it's the same here.
Elijah Lopez
...
Samuel Myers
But isn't 8ch Holla Forums the end of the line in terms of places one can discuss games? Where the fuck are we supposed to go if this place goes to shit? Wizard Chan?
Due to terminology a Coup de grace is a killing blow. Mark tried to sound smart and fucked up when he meant coup d'etat which is a forced revolution.
Through this error it's either a benign fuck up or a sub-conscious admittance Holla Forums is dying.
He puts words in your mouth like he puts all that disgusting shit he dares call food into his
Ian Murphy
We make a new internet. Jew free and hidden behind a tech barrier to keep normalfags out. Honestly, I'm out of options after 8ch
Nicholas Anderson
when life gives you lemons yopu make lemonade and Mark makes lemon cakes
Sebastian Clark
No shit it's dying. I remember when I came to this board. A lot less users but almost every user in a thread would contribute more than 5 posts to it. Now it's nothing but (1) and dones, usually with nothing insightful to say, either. There was a time when we didn't expect the first post of every fucking thread to be some faggot saging with a shitpost.
I think that also can be traced back to lazy and shit OPs. The motivation to post has been declining rapidly with those OPs becoming more popular.
I'm of the opinion that Holla Forums could use more OC that involves the whole board and not just OC per thread or general. But pulling that off without forcing it is no easy task.
I liked the idea of the musical back then, before a certain french nigger ruined them for everyone. Just something to get Holla Forums's passion to come back, little by little if necessary. Something where Holla Forums can say "we made this, together". Sadly, the Holla Forums RPG Maker Game thread died, too. It was going really well for a while.
I wonder who's fault this could possibly be? Obviously it's the users fault for being such fags! Sure Mark and his hotpockets fuck up literally almost every single time ranging from simple bias, unjust bans, deleting entire post histories for unclear reasons, deleting threads outright for unclear reasons, shitposting in threads and then banning people who complain because "spam" or "meta shitposting" and LEAVING CP UP FOR HOURS, but they admit they fuck up so you can't fault them!
Used to be. Now it's just almost every thread that has one of those fags either at the start or throughout the thread just barging in and trying to force a derailment.
Connor Morris
Perhaps not to the extent that is prevalent today, but there have always been (1)-and-done posters on here.
Caleb Brown
Maybe because they were tired of being ignored constantly by the hotpockets? I mean they already have >>>/vg/27332 which is something Holla Forums should have had but never did. When you host a gamenight and then find out the mod team was actively sabotaging your community it leaves a sour taste for anons.
Hunter Ramirez
Maybe nobody wants to play team fortress 2 in the current year plus three, user.
Samuel Phillips
By stickying an Ace of Spades and a Halo: Online gamenight at the same time? I'll admit that moderation hasn't been at its best, but don't fucking make shit up.
tbf i would rather be playing ace of spades then TF2 so i can see where hes coming from
Easton Anderson
I can't. That's purely a matter of taste. If anons leave the TF2 server to play something else then that's just because they don't want to play. There's plenty of real issues with this board. Let's not make up additional ones.
Isaac Richardson
That's not the gamenight I was talking about. I was talking about the TF2V awards nomination, which Mark first tried denying he knew anything about it and then later admitted he knew about it the whole time but ignored it.
I mean if you would rather play a different game that's fine, but you're justifying fucking over the TF2 community on Holla Forums which is why they left.
Aaron Hughes
But TF2 gear acquired from crates and such can decide the match for you, ace of spades and halo are both easier to get into and are therefor more popular
Justin Edwards
...
Thomas White
The /fagcorp/ anons are the ones who organize gamenights, how is TF2V not being selected for a gamenight mark's fault? Is this whole coup backed entirely by tf2v?
Adrian Edwards
Hm. I'll admit I don't know anything about TF2V outside of my first post in this thread, so I'll have to take your word on it. That does seem shady.
Gavin Barnes
what?
Michael Bennett
Vintage isn't current TF2 though.
We need sir goosington back
Matthew Cook
Hasn't just about every recent gamenight been unofficial (not associated with /radcorp/?
John Bailey
For the last 2-3 weeks I think.
Elijah Ortiz
And LiquidSwords!
James Rodriguez
you got a single fact to back that up?
Oliver Peterson
Mark I sent you a FR on Steam, I'd like to talk to you personally.
Camden Wood
here we go again.
Tyler Gonzalez
Well this IS the meta thread, so It's appropriate that we talk about it here.
I think the TF2V dev is still mad about that, if you ring him up I'm sure he'd yell your head off.
Brody Harris
I want you to actually address properly this time, because I think this is one of the biggest issues with not just you, but the entire moderation team. Are you planning on actually doing what people suggested here and be more precise when it comes to removing and banning shitposters? Do you even think it's an issue at all? What do the other hotpockets think? I never see them in these meta threads. Do they just keep their names off?
Easton Murphy
You told it to /radcorp/ who then talked to the head dev of TF2V that you had forgot about it originally then a few weeks later mentioned you had known about it and had zero intention to help out the mod the entire time. You can't expect to fuck a mod, treat the game's community like shit and have them roll over for you to listen and believe, this is how you alienate a fanbase.
Christian Anderson
How long ago was this?
Yeah, I normally post as user though.
Liam Gonzalez
Maybe it's possible that I forgot? Like I don't even know what you're talking about right now.
Michael Brooks
My memory is crap, so I want to say a few months ago. But again, sit down and talk to the TF2V Devs, this is an issue that im not directly involved in.
Landon Hernandez
It's entirely possible that I forgot. but yeah I'm willing to sit and talk with them.
Jace Sanders
the elona threads moved? to which board?
Austin Rivera
Actually I remember asking mark about it and he gave me the "doesn't want to bring attention to the mod" statment L-Gaim
Isaac Taylor
/vg/ I think but it seems to still be here to me.
Juan Morales
Oh right, I remember now. I didn't wanna do them favors by shilling the mod since I felt it was an abuse of power. This wasn't mentioned as an awards thing but rather an outright ad. I told them as such I don't do favors like that.
Hunter Jackson
right? just checked it still here. honestly those threads were pretty pure, i hardly ever saw shit posting in them. plus i'd rather have them on a Busy board so i don't have to wait a day for an answer
I'm amazed. How many months, if not years, has this farce been thrown again and again ? Loop the three last steps. And of course, since Mark made the rules (because he's alone in power here, of course), he's the jew to strike down (and to replace with someone who will nuke the rules, of course).
At least, I have enough coffee to sip while watching the shitposters get banned again and again.
No it was. Top 100 mods I mean at the time there were even links in the thread to it. I mentioned it too.
You say that as thread quality declines slowly and painful from each new influx of redditors and cuckchanners.
Asher Gonzalez
Mark and his janitors are lazy attention whores who don't care about board quality, all they want is to execute their "power" and perpetuate mods=gods meme. This place is fucked, just as 4chan is.
Blake White
Now the Sith will RULE VIDYA GAEMS.
Chase Reed
Did he seriously leave again? Why the fuck do you always do this? You just hop in here to show your stupid face and then when people actually ask you to address something you fuck off again.
Because he's a fucking jew and he's using classic jewish tactics.
Ryder Miller
Because he realizes he's fucked up and that people actually have a right to be angry at his fuck ups. This time as a result people are moving to /vg/ which I think should rebrand itself as Video Games (get it)
So far a lot of threads have moved over and most have been ok. The only thread I've peaked into, the WoW thread, has like 2 really autistic children upset people are moving over.
Kayden Reed
It already did.
Henry Mitchell
He barely participates in the meta threads he creates and stickies for attention, aside from shitposting. Why would you think he'd stay for one he bumplocked that's on page 5?
Kevin Diaz
/a/ is lazy too with their auto-ban system.
Wyatt Brown
Yeah I remember now, you asked me to shill your mod for the modb contest. I told you no because I don't do favors like that, and then you got pissed off at me for not being your ad pig.
I was in the shower, and needed to refresh. I'm back now.
Like what? Not shilling your mod? I'll admit I shouldn't have took the bait, however shilling your mod for publicity and not letting it stand up on its own merits is something I don't regret.
William Barnes
/a/'s shitty moderation is why /animu/ is still in the top 25 list. /animu/ maybe slow, but it's comfy and I don't have to worry about autobans about punctuations.
Elijah Barnes
Then address
Jason Adams
We do, but we still get complaints anyway. There are times were I made the mistake of pressing D* and D+ when I'm not supposed too. However, if you're shitting up the gamergate thread with shit about sargon then you're gonna get your posts wiped for being off topic. Also sometimes there's anons with 50+ off topic posts and only one on topic post. None of us are gonna go through that type of spam just to single out one post that barely contributes anything to the thread. That's just a huge waste of time.
Camden Long
It's why the board log gets pretty long at times, because I'm deleting individual posts rather than histories.
Landon Reed
What the fuck is wrong with promoting creativity and being proud that anons FINALLY fucking did something together that isn't exclusively bound to 8ch and deserves attention? If the RPG anons or the Anton and coolpecker fags weren't dead I'm sure they would've asked for the same should their labor of love ever get off the ground. It wouldn't be shilling, it would be saying "hey btw anons, there's this thing that anons did that might get an award. Look at it if you want or don't." Calling attention to something =/= Shilling Did you fall for the hair conditioner meme again? :^)
Jaxon Martin
Nothing, but like you said it isn't exclusively bound to Holla Forums and shouldn't get a stickied ad. I didn't give it to Speebot, I didn't give it to We Shall Wake, I didn't give it to Hellbreaker, and I won't give it to you. Is it something I can change if anons want it? Sure, but that's only if anons themselves want advertisements as stickies.
Then make a normal thread like everyone else, hell I'm gonna make the argument that you're a spoiled shit because even when I stickied multiple gamenights by you guys, that isn't enough. You need promotions, well I'm sorry but Holla Forums isn't your adspace.
Yeah, I mean you're free to banter and shit on me all you want. However getting mad at me for not giving you an ad on Holla Forums is rather petty.
Jaxon Allen
No, I'm more talking about cases like how you recently deleted that perfectly fine puzzle thread because a handful of fags shat up the thread and reported enough times that you hit the delete button. That was downright fucking sloppy. You're not some bot that hits the button after x amount of reports. You always throw these anecdotes out of "if there's one fag with 50+ posts that are off-topic", but it's rarely like that. More often it's either a thread that's a hundred or two posts in, that has a dozen shitposts that completely derailed the thread and more often than not you either leave it be completely or like last time you just nuke it. OR you delete a couple of the offending posts, but leave the replies to that shitpost in the thread.
You and your hotpockets are gonna have to put in some more effort if you want to actually moderate competently. That means reading a thread and seeing where shit went south. I honestly wonder sometimes if you people actually lurk here and participate as user or if you just only show up to check the reports.
Evan Sanders
Oh that? Yeah I admitted that was a fuck up, and sometimes that happens. Like I had no idea what the thread was, and the OP itself wasn't really vidya. So I thought it was off topic and i deleted it, later on I apologized and explained what happened.
William Myers
I just think it's unfair considering that most people think that anons are useless when it comes to banding together to work on a large project and when they finally do get together and that project does finally happen, it usually goes unnoticed and it propagates the thought that anons are useless even further.
These are labors of love, just look at all the sweat, blood, tears and autism that goes into these sort of projects. Ask any /agdg/, as they host demo days every now and then to get some attention and feedback. Again, unfair to not acknowledge them and promote more creativity amongst anons. This can go from vidya to Holla Forumssings or whatever nonsense is happening at the moment.
Arguably. the only project that hasn't gone unnoticed (IMO atleast) are the gamenight threads. If you decide to sticky gamenight threads that's mostly on you because there are usually more than one and anons are picky. The /radcorp/ goys are the ones that always ask for it since they do it only once every 2 (now 3) weeks.
Leo Sanders
No it's fair, especially since this is what I tell everybody.
Hunter Thompson
That's what I mean though. The thread was already nearing 300 posts and only just giving it a casual skim would have told you what was happening. You're not doing this blindfolded. You can apologize all you want, but this is far from the first time it happened and every time it ends with an apology, but it's just a matter of time before it happens again.
Boo hoo, dude. Props to the guys who want to work on a project with eachother, but none of the other projects received stickies. The people who are interested in it will come to it naturally. I honestly don't understand your butthurt about not getting a sticky. I wouldn't mind more community projects if anons actually want those, but crying about not getting a sticky when nothing was promised sounds like a good way to get ridiculed and ignored, not just by mods, but by anons as well.
Benjamin Gray
WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT OTHERS THINK OF YOU GIGANTIC DICK SUCKING FAGGOT? GO PAY $10 TO SHITPOST ON AN INTERNET FORUM IF IT'S FAME AND ATTENTION YOU SEEK That's why regardless of how long you've posted on imageboards you'll always be a newfag and stick out like a sore thumb
Note, I'm just using that situation as an example and I'm not talking just about you. There's a couple mods who appear to be just as sloppy along with blindspots in the moderation shifts that still happen after people have brought it to your attention, but that's another thing entirely.
Brayden Parker
No it fucking doesn't! Even without a sticky people notice it! People notice shit like that, like /agdg/ demo days, like the talks in the Doom thread to fork GZDoom, and all sorts of other shit!
Unfortunately. I think a script of that nature would do a better job than the entire vol team combined.
Tyler Green
Well, its your board. Do whatever, I'm just throwing my two cents.
It's not butthurt, I was never involved in any of these projects so I'm looking at this situation as an outsider.
I'm not talking about what outsiders think, I'm talking about what anons think. I think that if they see that no one gives attention to anything, then most of the good ideas just get lost and never worked on again. Then again, I could be totally wrong, this is all just from my point of view Not fame and attention, just trying to promote creativity and more projects coming out of Holla Forums. Because, let's face it, fucking ANYTHING that Holla Forums comes up with is better than the crap that the video game industry or the hipster/SJW indie community is pumping out today. Call me anything you want, I'm just getting my thoughts out.
That's great. Like I said, this is just from my point of view so I might be missing things that are pretty obvious.
He did, but yet again left without any word. This fag can't hold a conversation worth shit. It's not like he's so damn busy all day that he can't spare half an hour to talk about this.
I'm honestly impressed at his lack of communication skills. Why even have meta threads at all if the guy can't bother to stay and talk.
Bentley Myers
Also this is important
the cuckchan tier small talk threads about literally nothing are bad enough but shilling accusations are used as a blungeon to shit up actual video game threads without reprecautions
this is the second time I bring that up and nothing is being done about it this is an ongoing trend and if you ask me, if theres really a need for arbiter on whenever someone is a shill or not, it should be the people that can actually see your post history, and not random faggots who are 90% of the time either afraid of gangstalking or just want to shit up the board "OP is a shill" is the 100% consequence free version of dubsposting without sage
yeah no he fucking didnt, what he gave was the definition of non-answer in his head this_is_fine.gif is playing on loop
It's because once the derail lasts long enough, the thread is not worth salvaging any more.
Levi Morgan
its literally the hotpockets jobs to punish derailers they instead invoke exterminatus or declare ground zero and encourage dedicated shitposters to do that to another thread, rinse and repeat, without consequences
I mean look at the fucking kangdom cum threads, they were shat up so hard the pockets had to step in and put them on cycle, you gotta be fucking blind, deaf and borderline retarded to not notice theres a shitposting and brigading problem, organized or spontaneous doesnt matter when critical mass is achieved
THE 24/7 SHITPOSTER, THE SPAMMER AND THE GOON ARE NOT THE TARGET AUDIENCE OF THIS BOARD, STOP SHAPING YOUR POCKETING AROUND ACCOMODATING THEM, AND START SHAPING IT AROUND ACCOMODATING ANONS WHO WANT TO TALK ABOUT FUCKING VIDEOGAMES
its also easier to deal with a core of hardcore shitposters that will ban evade and torpost and really, really want them (you)s than with a flood of casual shitposters that only do it because they know for a fact they will get away with it its not the severity of the punishment, its the propability of being caught that acts as a deterrent
Because nu-Holla Forums is shit and we've been waiting for any excuse we can take.
I don't think mark has anything to do with them though
People are fed up with (((imkampfy))) and the board being full of Reddit, so they're trying to make a better one People are fed up with (((Mark))) and the board being full of Reddit, so they're trying to make a better one Probably the same thing, I think it had something to do with tripfags.
This. There's at least 5 of them in every single thread
Probably because those generals moved, it's a legacy board name so it sounds more "official" to people as opposed to sounding like it's just some random offshoot, and it started after the CS thread fuckup so it's populated by anons who actually play video games. A lot of anons in those threads say they only keep coming to Holla Forums for the gamenight and server threads, so if those move to /vg/ they won't have any reason left to stay.
Jace Collins
Did they? It just seems like it's the /vg/ hotpockets who are making them and then coming here to shill them.
Hunter Jones
It's almost like Holla Forums hasn't been raided by Revoltfags and cuck/pol/ coming from their /cow/ circlejerks or anything. Almost like Holla Forums hasn't been victim of D&C tactics for months now
The worst part about it is that the hotpockets do fucking nothing about it, the Outer Wilds thread is still a fucking train wreck and the fucking Kike still hasn't done a fucking thing about it.
ye its generally impossible to talk about vidya outside of established generals the other day some fag made a thread about a FREE roguelike and was shillposted to death
Jaxon Gomez
That's the issue The hotpockets do fucking nothing about it while banning other faggots for literally nothing, reporting or otherwise.
I warned everyone about shitposting on threads about video games they didn't like, because it can easily be turned on threads about video games you like.
Leo Gonzalez
Remember Overwatch threads?
Ian Nguyen
I'm trying to relax a bit, I had a long day.
Cameron Taylor
Someone needs to report the faggots, and if I need more hotpockets then I'll get some.
Dylan Bell
you dont get to relax when your board is in flames
THE REPORTS ARE GETTING DISMISSED YOU DAFT CUNT its not that we dont report enough its that you fags do nothing about it you crack down with rule 8 at the drop of a hat on LEGIT CRITICISM in a general and then turn around and ignore a thread about video games getting shitposted to death its like you fags legitemately dont see what the problem is with threads being suffocated under a mountain of shit every time someone tries to talk about a video game thats not a staple
Jason Evans
I've been telling you for a while now there's blindspots in moderator coverage and you said you'd take it up with the other hotpockets but never did anything with it as far as I can tell. Hell, even if I report something most of the time it either gets flatout ignored or it stays on for hours and discussion has either died or derailed. Only the most obvious and blatant shitposting gets removed quickly. Either that or flat out spam. Eating all those cakes must be hard on your body.
Even the moderators that we have no are of questionable quality. I've seen people complain about Cobalt and I've seen Pewter make some retarded fucking decisions myself.
There's a difference between getting more hotpockets and getting GOOD ones mark. For fuck sakes sometimes the report goes dismissed.
Christian Smith
But none of those are part of /radcorp/.
It's just one user that posts it in the beginning of every gamenight thread, I don't know why he was so triggered by it.
Andrew Wilson
There are limits. When there is a fucking World of Tanks thread while we have a tank vidya general going the ones getting removed aren't supposed to be the shitposters.
Asher Sullivan
If only all this assmad over Mark's insufficient/excessive moderation could be used to power a turbine or something…
