ITT: Games Holla Forums cannot talk about

I doubt it's him. He would have started posting those images by now.

OT: Any Blizzard game from 2008 or later. Ends up being a bitchfest about how they went down the toilet, and how just about anyone who thinks of their games as anything but absolutely irredeemable garbage is a Blizzdrone.

And while we're on the subject, WoW private servers. Ever since shortly after Nostalrius shut down, threads about them have been arguing about what private server to play on, and why X private server is shit.

Mother 4. Even though it isn't out, threads about it always devolve into people arguing about the game having the word "Mother" in it.

Pokemon. Threads will always get ruined by "What pokemon would you fug" furries.

Newfag, morrowind threads are patrician tier

There isn't anything left to discuss but that's the thing with it, even with anybody that was interested in it either having long-since given it its time to shine or gone to greener, more autistic pastures it still pops up every so often with a "what the hell was this" thread pops up or it's mentioned in passing conversation as a meme game or as something of slightly decent quality that came out in recent years.

And then the autists come out to play, that "==FUCJkrhg OFKRG TUMBLRMATLTAE=" guy (not even hyperbole that's legitimately how fake-angry he is and how his posts come out) and Poopy Joe.

Mass Effect.

To be more specific, Mass Effect 3.

Wounds still haven't healed for Holla Forums. I want to laugh as Bioware backpedaling with you all…

Andromeda is going to be a trainwreck.,

Undertale
I don't even like the fucking game but when it was first released most people who played it saw it in a positive light, it was a small alright indie game that a few people liked and made the occasional thread about. Then it gets popular and suddenly it's the most cancerous thing to ever exist and the mere mention of it causes faggots to sperg out about it. It's fucking pathetic how much it's mere existance annoys the autists here.

tf2

This genre is not exactly shitposted, but if I make a thread it will get 20 responses at best before dying.

I have been playing a lot of Lumines recently, do you guys play puzzle games? What are your recommendations?

Those jap mario picross games are amazing. Is lumise good, i might wanna emulate it.

Its because the undertale general became infested with newfags, ive followed a few since the game came out and saw it devolve in reddit tier posting. Its like the /got/ general on Holla Forums, there are 3 tripfags who obviously never post outside of the /got/ thread using emoticons, censoring swear words and generally talk like faggotry incarnate. Then there is this other tripfag who ocassionally goes on pol to shitpost various threads.

Updog, the only game can never be spoken of.

It triggers the spergs

What's updog?

:^)

On the thread topic: Starfox, especially post Zero

I honestly feel like I've read every argument and rant and dissertation there is about the warcraft franchise, every configuration of words in the english language on the subject that can possibly exist. There is not a thing in the world I am more sick of hearing and talking about.
Still hope the private server scene improves one day.

It emulates fine, but is mainly 2D so it doesn't look good upscaled. It would be hard to explain this game better than a simple gameplay video, but if were to define it I would say it's an evolved tetris + music.

If Incredible Machines can be considered a puzzle game, then I recommend it. Played the shit out of it when I was a kid and probably would still enjoy it today.

Original Doom.

Resident Evil

The acapella covers

underrated post

See:

I enjoyed Undertale, but it's a pretty finite experience. You beat the game once or twice, you see the different endings.. if you're particularly spergy, you memorize the patterns for the bullshit Sans fight, and then you're done.

There's no other secrets. There's no lore. There's no reason to replay because the game is about as deep as a kiddy pool, and that's fine.

The problem with Undertale threads is that it's all tumblr fanart and meme-spewing. It's just unpleasant to have around.

At least with Lisa the Painful (which is unfortunately compared to Undertale) you can try different party compositions, different combitionations of abilities, different strategies. There's not much to see, but the game does give you ways to extend replayability and give you something to really sink your teeth into.

Calling people names makes them wrong.

Even if WoC (or whatever server it was) comes out, I doubt we'd get enough to run anything beyond Kara, since even at peak on Nost, we were able to do ZG at most. And I doubt the same number of people will do that amount of leveling again.

Kid Icarus Uprising
Don't know about 8/v/, but I know 4/v/ couldn't talk about it for much outside of the first few (really fucking hype as fuck) months when it was new.
If you tried to talk about it you got nothing but shit about the controls and nobody discussing the actual game.
Which is a shame, Sakurai put his heart and soul into that game and it seems to have been forgotten already despite being only around 4 years old. Nobody ever brings it up when suggesting 3DS games, and if they do they almost always get shit for it because of the second reason.

Salty smashfags who think a palette swap took the devs more than three days to make. Because of these fucks, one of the best Nintendo heroes is relegated to a fucking shota joke and Sakurai somehow a biased hack for adding in shit from the most popular, essentially, new IP at the beginning of development. This is despite the fact that the entire game makes fun of how PIT STAIN THE EDGEHOG he is constantly. He tries to go by "Dark Pit" so what does everyone do? They call him variants of "Pittoo", as in "Pit two/too" and despite being the hero's dark side, Pit's such a goody goody that said dark side is just standing up for himself albeit a bit rudely.

There's a fucking alien invasion in this game and the way the clashing genre of music they get is jazz of all things.
JAZZ.
They could have used generic techno beats, maybe even crafted some really good ones too given how top notch the game's OST is, but they went with jazz.
The entire game is littered with little quirks and surprisingly clever details (electric enemy's theme uses electric guitars, etc) that really separate this game from the rest.

The laundry list of misplaced gripes goes on, but I think you get the idea.

On the other hand if people would be discussione videogames seriously they would probably rather spend their time playing videogames instead.
This is the board for when we are tired of videogames so se end up screwing about and sperging because bored is implied.

Discussing*

It's like Homestuck General. Spergs get nestled into it like their own little safe space for circlejerking, there's nothing left to say yet it just never ends. It attracts that HSG brand of autism.

The Witcher

It used to be that the first two games and CDPR were held in the highest regard possible.

But pretty much as soon as the Witcher 3 was announced that gradually started to change. It got worse and worse until the graphics downgrade stuff, and since then you can't talk about the series or the developers in a positive light without being shit on.

Base game, nothing but shit posts, the expansions, nothing but shit posts, the Cyberpunk game, it's gonna be nothing but shitposts.

I've been a fan since the first game, and I'm still a fan with the third game, and it sucks that general opinion on Holla Forums, here and on half chan, has done a complete 180. Cyberpunk looked great too but I'm betting that no matter what it's like, it'll be shit on too.

...

Congrats you're retarded

I enjoy that we cling to this delusion that we come to this board to actually discuss vidya. Actions speak louder than words and the number one action by far on Holla Forums is the art of shitposting. Not talking about ideo games.

Sorry, I'll watch my tone then and rephrase.

It makes the people who frequent this board who also have aspergers, or some other autism spectrum disorder, lose their limited ability to interact with others in a meaningful or constructive way, and compels them to waste their time making inane post in an attempt to derail conversation or capitalize attention because of a perceived injustice in people discussing a game in their safe space that they don't enjoy. It disrupts the order they think exist in their sphere of socialization and so it causes an exaggerated reaction in an attempt to rectify it. This is because the sudden disruption of what they think is "their" environment causes a tremendous amount of psychic discord. This is why they lack the ability to simply ignore the content which has no interest to them.

I'll try to be more sensitive in the future to your needs though.

I said it like that because it's good and defies expectations of "highly advanced technological alien invaders."
You'd expect to hear something like daft punk, not god damned saxophones, and it's great.

It's getting to the point where I've toyed with the thought of making my own imageboard in the vein of smugloli or lainchan, where's it's JUST video games, and everything else be damned, but I can't trust myself to make the right choices and be better than Mark, plus I wouldn't know where to start.

I can't believe it's this hard to fucking track down a place to talk about vidya, but here we are in the current year.

Half this fucking board is skeleton memes.

The best way to think about things is that Holla Forums is a reflection of the vidya industry's current state, and that it'll continue to remain shit for as long as vidya is shit.

Reminder that if you post a picture of Undertale you're apparently "defending" it

This is fucking sick.

To be fair, some vidya threads end up being good, e.g. the Rollercoaster Tycoon threads. But they're the exception more than the rule.

I've only played up to about Hades' introduction so far but I very much like the game from what I've played of it, banter's not at all irritating to listen to (the worst of it registers more as background noise than something I actively don't like listening or cringe at) and markedly improves when Hades is introduced and repeatedly shits all over Pit and Palutena. I'm excited for Citra to develop more so that I can wrangle a trackball and give Uprising a try using that, the game itself makes a comparison to trackballs when discussing the control scheme.

The only thing that really sours Uprising at all for me is how much Sm4sh lifts from it because Sakurai's biased as all hell towards his own creations, it's absolutely shameful that the entire UI is lifted from Uprising (up to and including the betting-pool for increased difficulty) and a slot was dedicated to a 1:1 clone of Pit along with 80% of the enemies in 3DS's Smash Run being Uprising critters.

then: halfchan Holla Forums is for shitposting, fullchan Holla Forums is for vidya
now: fullchan Holla Forums is for shitposting

Note the idea that there can be no coexistence. Like feminism in gaming, it chases out everyone & asserts complete dominance.

Shitpostism is similar as there can be no coexistence between vidya discussion & shitposting; shitposting must have dominance.

Feminism & Shitpostism are supremacist ideologies.

They have to be threads for specfic things for them to be good. If you make threass for lots of different games someone is going to mention one of the games that derails threads, intentionally or unintentionally. The other way to get discussion is to make threads for old as fuck games that havent had a sequel in years.

If you're not jewish you're off to a good start

user how fucking new are you? The UIs in Sakurai games date back to Kirby's Air Ride and even earlier. And Sakurai didn't design them, his wife did.

kyoto-report.wikidot.com/michiko-sakurai

Puzzle game gameplay is weird to discuss without giving away solutions for people, which just leaves story/lore, which the genre isn't exactly known for either. It's just a part of the genre

It's fun, right?
Keep playing, new characters keep coming in and the dialogue just gets better and better. Though the stylus is honestly the best way to play it. If anything I'd say set it up so you're using a drawing tablet to play on citra.

It's true that Sakurai is biased towards his own creations, but the UI you're talking about is something he's been doing for a while now.
If he adds in something he likes to his games he tends to use them again in future games. Those achievement grids? They started in Air Ride. Same goes for the menu aesthetic too. Hell even the general aesthetic of his games have this weird high low tech scifi dreaminess to them. Go look at Air Ride again and see how many small intricate moving parts and neon tron lines things have in there, you'll be surprised.
I don't think the "bet on your difficulty" thing is strictly because of uprising, I think it's because he found a good mechanic he wants to keep using.

And I still think part of why Smash Run's enemies have so much uprising is because they were just lazy and it was easy to re-purpose existing assets. Uprising is practically a 3D smash with rail shooter design, so locking the enemies on a 2D plane is practically all that was needed.

Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness
it's just not possible

I think the same idea of a videogame board is bullshit, cause good posters are the ones often busy playing instead of being on the board, so it's normal the board has more activity from shit posters anyway.

kill yourself :^)

That's the same line of logic idiots use to defend a dying game. "All the people are PLAYING right now instead of complaining on the forums! :)"

I'm aware Sakurai has a general style of UI he likes that goes back to Air Ride and before that he uses for basically any project he's allowed to shove it into but there's shit like the betting-pool to select game-mode difficulty that I brought up which is lifted directly from Uprising.

Last time someone posted a thread for that everyone complained about "XD" being in the title, and then the thread died with absolutly no discussion.

What the fuck do you even mean.

Shitposting and banter IN MODERATION is alright but there is a concerted effort some autists to shitpost any thread they don't like into the ground. Sometimes that's justified (Overwatch and it's billion threads), sometimes it isn't.

Don't imply that I haven't been trying to facilitate discussion. The problem is that the noise to discussion ratio has been steadily rising over the course of the past year, and the noise is starting to overshadow the discussion. There still is, but it requires more seeking out. We can have shitposting, but it requires people to know that there's a time and a place for it. Remember when GG exodus happened, and everyone was excited that we had dubs again, but still had the restraint to keep dubs in shit threads, and not dubspam vidya threads? Remember how faggots gradually started dubspamming every thread because they either didn't like the topic material, or just because? That's the problem, the shit on all the walls is just a symptom.

Yeah, but then you encounter questions like

It's not as simple as "Are you a fat, shitposting kike?" I wish it was.

Well i don't know about you but I make 10 posts a day at best, yet I like ever discussion, so it kinda makes sense to me there would be others like me in this board that just get overwhelmed by the massive activity of shitposters.

I have found this to be true, but a balance has to be made. If specific threads are cycled through too fast they can turn into a general circlejerk. That's why the best quality threads so far, such as the RCT or /ogc/ threads, are also the oldest and filled with the most bumps

Here I'll help you

If videogames, it can stay
If not, it can go

The ONLY problem here is people who take "Holla Forums hates video games" seriously. We don't hate fucking video games, we have fine discussions all the time. Shitposting comes with the territory.

Just because one user comes in shitposting and baiting doesn't mean Holla Forums as a whole hates video games.

I hope absolutely anyone who posts "Holla Forums hates video games" unironically gets a knife shoved up their anus. They ARE the cancer.

Undertale
happens

Cuhrayzee:
the community here isn't big enough
sad really

My question is, how do we deal with shit like the undertale general when it reaches full non-vidya discussion. Should we dissallow generals like that, or do we ban induvidual posters that make the general like that?

And even then, there's no guarantee for them to be good. It seems to only work with games that aren't universally hated and have a large enough community to foster discussion in the first place.

I always see Holla Forums is one person posted as an argument but this does is support the theory more

I really enjoy playing call of duty.

I'd say Pokemon.

I find the series fun myself, but holy shit are those threads hot garbage.

eventhubs.com/news/2016/jun/02/capcom-bans-noel-brown-pro-tour-2016-incident-combo-breaker/

Are you ==THUGS== behaving? You better be, Don't make me make you use the back entrance.

Pretty much.

I think the only 2 recent good ubisoft games are Assassins Creed Blackflag and Rainbow Six Siege

The problem is defying the line for what is and is not vidya, which then gets into arguments about what is secondary and what is tertiary in relation to vidya

Do they stay 95% self-contained and only have one thread? Keep it as containment. Do they overflow and/or insist on multiple threads? Start getting more specific in your rules about the topic and end up pissing off some part of the community at large, before realizing its a losing battle and quickly coming up with another problem to grab the communities attention while you silently comb through post records of the general and ban those with overall poor posting quality

I don't think I have a smug enough picture to express my feelings about your failure to redtext.

You can talk about Undermeme. You should make a thread right now, goy.

None of the metafags will acknowledge your point of how they instantly derailed the thread into off topic shitposting and how they always do given the slightest opportunity. I will however, good post user.

...

Is it a video game? Yes/no.

Thankfully the society we live in is so simplistic that we can all abide by the abstract concept of what constitutes vidya or not

Personally I'd just ban the generals once there are plenty of signs that it will devolve into a pure circlejerk and tell the autists to take it elsewhere, but allow discussion of said game to happen in a non-general form. If they are trying to make covert generals, delete it.

Which of these things are video games?

Fug, wrong post, meant for

...

This one because almost nobody knows Nipponese here.

With the way 8/v/ went downhill so fast, you'd think this place was getting shat up on purpose.

Are you implying this is wrong?

Remember that time years back on cuck/v/ where it was revealed there was a group of about 100 people or so that spent all day intentionally shitposting on Holla Forums to make it worse?

Have you not heard of Holla Forums?

Oh yeah.

You just proved the point of this thread.

...

Which one is more based, Rugga or goyQuentin?

Don't be so mad your shitty games aren't worth discussing.

I'd draw the line at >Discussion over news related to upsetting trends in video games

Generals are not the problem. GSG is a good general with users that bother nobody outside of it. Undertale, much like pedos and horsefuckers, habitually insert their fetishes into every other thread they post in too. THAT is the problem.

Go to /vg/ if you want discussion, this place is for memes. Holla Forums is literally worse than Holla Forums because at least Holla Forums admits that their board is a designated shitposting meme pool with occasional flick (not film) discussion and recommendation.

which one is worst is an easier question

go back to halfchan faggot

You sound exactly like those reddit shitters talking about how Holla Forums was for console war threads and /vg/ was for discussion.

overwatch
anything anime related
halo
anything AAA
anything indie
anything funded by patreon/kickstarter
anything "too artsy"

Man. I sure do love discussing video games on this video game board.

Sneaky fucking bumplock Mark.

:^)

autists confirmed for psychic powers

I frequent smaller boards such as /christian/. Discussion in Holla Forums is so fucking shit in comparison fam.

kys op

ironically all you do is shitpost

smh tbh fam

The reason 8/v/ was good at first is because everyone upheld standards to not be as bad as halfchan. Mark's hands-off moderation style worked because it didn't get in anyone's way and nobody wanted to go through hotpocket hell anymore, but it still allowed for more freedom than halfchan.

And then it went to shit, I don't know exactly how or why, be it either a massive influx of halfchan rejects, coordinated shitposting force who corrupted Holla Forums into what it is now and similarly corrupted the atmosphere of Holla Forums, or both. Here Mark's moderation style DOESN'T work because he never marked low-quality posts as a bannable offense in order to avoid going into hotpocket territory, which was never necessary because the community would correct or ignore said low-quality posts. Blatant shitposters get banned, but users who contribute absolutely nothing to the thread get off scot free, as off-topic derailed discussions about politics rarely ever get bumplocked or put out of their misery by deleting them. It's like one of those cartoon episodes where someone constantly fucks up and everyone else makes him leave, until something happens where everyone needs him and regret chasing him away, which is enforced moderation in this case.

Now he's just doing absolutely fucking nothing to improve the average board quality while the board burning even though he has the power, and I don't even know what standards we are upholding. I know that doing the necessary hotpocketeering tends to create more trouble than it's worth thanks to ban evading, but there is no line anymore. There are barely any standards, quality posts are a dime a dozen, and threads about older good games keep getting less and less posts in favor of shitposting about newer terrible games and memes. I know that nobody wants to go through hotpocket hell, but damnit, it's necessary. It's what made boards like /a/ work despite their elitism, there's complaints about muh taste all the time, but at least they are capable of having more reasonable and in-depth discussion about anime than 8/v/ can in its current state about videogames.

It is. Holla Forums

Not so much unable to be discussed due to shitposting, but the games I've been playing recently and would like to see more discussion of are old and their series dormant or dead to the point there's really not much reason to make threads on them without some shred of news relating to them, since they'd probably get 5-10 posts maximum and then die off otherwise. I tend to take discussion where I can get it (IE: other threads where mentioning them can fit), but even then it's usually not much. And while /vr/ could be a possible solution, at least for some of them that fall within the parameters, /vr/ here's pretty much dead now.

Simple. Just ignore the "XD" in the title when talking about it and simply call it "Pokemon: Gale of Darkness." I've done it before and it works.

I think one of the sad issues with the way 8ch is set up is that, even with the ability for anyone to set up their own board, pretty much every vidya board that isn't Holla Forums (at least that I'm aware of) is pretty much dead right now. And even if some do get popular, they suffer a cycle of bleeding users due to people leaving for the more popular boards because discussion is getting to slow and the posterbase too small (which just spirals on until the board is dead). Or the board is made out to be some sort of boogeyman that people claim ruins other boards of similar topics to drive traffic to their own. At this point it really almost seems to be a "Holla Forums or bust" mentality for vidya discussion here.

Anything else to do here?

and look what you're doing right now

There's a fine line between deleting posts you don't like, and upholding post quality standards.

There's also the question of if post quality should be monitored at all. Should someone be banned because they posted "lol xD" and nothing else in the thread?

8/b/ shit itself and started rolling around in it a while ago, because it flat out was not moderated for quality. Now the board is dead.
If you moderate too much, you risk losing a lot of your userbase to people who don't agree with you.

I'm not sure how or if they're going to look into this, but I'm sure as fuck glad I am not on the mod team.

Depends, if they try to completely derail the thread I delete the posts and give em an hour ban. If they're just calling your game shit then they shouldn't be banned for having a different opinion. If you want a hugbox then this isn't the board for you. We do have quality standards, it's why we delete or bumplock template threads. it's why this thread is bumplocked, so anons could shitpost this thread to death.

I'm shitposting? well yeah, because it's basically a meta thread. You can talk about whatever you want here, just don't be a bitch when someone critiques your game and calls them shit without having a spergout like the shitran guy, who tries to shitpost in every senran thread.

the answer is simple, you have a balance of both. Also the quality is the same as its been since october 2014. yes there are a few shit threads, but the fact of the matter is that in terms of quality we've been fairly consistent.

A warning on the first post like that, and maybe a small ban after that. Make it known that posts like that are not welcome, but if they improve, they'll be fine.

Get some reading comprehension.

So for calling out the fact that Holla Forums has a serious issue with discussing certain games due to mass shitposting, you lock the thread and drown the critique in mass shitposting.

I don't think you even have standards at all.
You can't be this blind.

I'm not blind, it's the truth. Compare the catalogs from october 2014 to now. Oh wait that's right, you're a shill from halfchan. you need to go back.

That's exactly what happened. Pozzed faggots who didn't leave immediately when moot fucked us over and stayed out of stockholm syndrome. By being slow to catch on how shit 4chan got, it's not surprising that they bring their cancerous bullshit and don't try to adapt to how shits done, thinking their cuckchan way of shitposting is accepted. Over time more cuckchan probably thought it was the norm and have overtaken the amount if posters who are marginally intelligent enough to balance out actual discussion, banter, and shitposting.

also don't make a random threads to bitch about Holla Forums just because you got upset at the smash bros thread.

Are you fucking serious? Shilling for what?

I've been here since the first exodus. I've seen it all turn to shit. For some reason you're content to let it happen instead of actually imposing the "standards" you go on about.

How mad did he get?

Any chance you've got an archive screenshot of that one guy that constantly made "ITT: Worst Castlemania Ever" threads with that image of the Giant Skeleton from AoS? Because that shit got out of hand.

I'd agree that those don't exactly have good answers. And then there's the issue of servers, hosting (both of which has an actual monetary cost) and making sure the site works right (you'd probably have to code it from scratch since ripping code seems prone to giving you the same issues as the older ones the code's from, such as how 8ch has the same image glitches halfchan does).

you are a terrible poster, and i would recommend you leave.
goodbye.

Maybe if the metafaggots didn't derail so early in the thread instead of talking about videogames, then this thread wouldn't be bumplocked.

Personally I'd just delete their post and give them a warning. Then they don't have to cry I DINDU NUFFIN, but they'll know in the future that someone is watching over them. Just a quick tap on the head, not throwing them in the slammer with the slightest offence. The problem with everyone being quick to ban evade and cry dindu nuffin is that you want to avoid giving longer bans, and just give them a short 1-hour ban to make them learn their lesson. And archive their posts and threads in questions, and tie it to each ban. More than often they'll bitch about their deleted threads, and if you post public evidence of how much the person in question was shitposting everyone will probably laugh at him to the point where he realizes crying to get unbanned is pointless. Plus, everyone else gets to judge your actions too.

There's a difference between 'your game is shit and you're just shilling it' and 'I thought the game was shit and here's why, but I understand why some people might've liked it'. Make them understand that low-quality posts are not appreciated, regardless of opinion. Unless you're that scared of being accused of being biased and prohibiting freedom of speech, all you need to do is tell them to post it again and try to put some effort into it next time. I'm perfectly fine with my favourite game being disliked, but I'd rather hear why they dislike it so I can discuss about it, a blatant shitpost gives me nothing to talk about.

You need to grow some balls and hand out short mass bans to make everyone understand that festering in a pile of shit is not acceptable. That recent thread about THAT ONE LINE in The Witcher 3 was just god-awful, and I'm not talking about people who just understood it or not, but rather the one who went full shitpost mode in doing so. It was beyond saving, barely vidya, and should have been deleted, but hey, standards. If I had that image of 'look at that guy, why is he eating shit? stop eating shit!' I'd post it right now as an example, you people really need to show some balls, because right now my image of the moderation is that of negligent British parents who just do whatever while their kids are being the biggest fucking brats on the planet. Because I KNOW I can get away with calling people cucks and telling them to fuck off to /tumblr/ or whatever as long as everyone else is doing it too, because you are too afraid to deal with the problem once it affects more than one person.

Banning the guy who went around this morning posting the same 'sage and ignore' post in every thread on the catalog? Sure, that's easy! A thread derailed into more than one person flinging shit about politics and memes? Fuck nigga, I ain't touching that shit, let's stay here and wait until it stops or just bumplock it when it gets out of hand. Your fear for severe retaliation when you do exert the law is what will end up killing this board.

It was the same fucking shit.
Here are two archives from the very first week.
archive.is/c9B2K
archive.is/ZihPn

Holla Forums has gone to shit because it is run BY A LITERAL FUCKING INDIFFERENT JEW. He doesn't give a shit about this board, neither do the mods. Look at how Holla Forums is run, some of you fuckers may hate it, but at least they stay relevant to their cause.

The final story is, 8ch got really fucking lazy and we let all the wolves in sheep's clothing in, now it is shitposting central, and no OC comes out of it. It was fun well it lasted. I am going to go play some Battlezone 98. Later nerds.

perhaps you're right, but we need more people to report shit like that. I do small bans for derails and such. There's a reason why we have rule 8, and that's to uphold a standard. Perhaps I've got soft over these past 1.5 years. With that said I'm sticking with my guns and allowing video game and vidya related content on Holla Forums, however while I'll admit quality dropped a bit, I can say for sure that it's not by much. With that said I'll do what I can, but we also need you guys to report more of these derailing bastards. even if half of the thread is at fault.

Question to you and any other fags who ask the mods to ban more people: do you ever consider the possibility that you will get banned if they did that? That your thread gets deleted because people thought it was shit?

Haha, good one user. I especially love those 4 week range bans for disagreeing.

I would only ban people in the extremes. nothing more

Always, that's one of the risks of giving more power to the enforcers. Thankfully Holla Forums is not as single-minded as Holla Forums where going against the majority will most likely get you banned because almost nobody can agree with eachother here, so it's not like there's really a general opinion to defend here. I'd prefer the way things are now instead of full-on Holla Forums hugbox moderation, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

This is your idea of good moderation? Are you fucking kidding me?

Since this is bumplocked and basically meta bitching now, one trend that I've been noticing that I'm not sure is just my biases or not, but I feel like post quality is at its worst on the weekends, before slowly building back up to somewhat decent by Thursday, before diving back down over the course of Friday and starting over again. Anyone else notice a correlation or is it just me?

All this is making me want is making threads. I don't think I've made more than 2 in years of lurking imageboards.

Looks like it's hard as balls to get some common sense running in the guys in chargue.
All you need is to be reasonable. Is it really that fucking hard.

Also fuck Other M and fuck Nintendo.
Polite sage for offtopic I know this is bumplocked
