/32/ - Psychopolitics

Why do you say you like this board?

>>60
The idea is very appealing. Dismantling the deception without anything stopping us (i.e, trolling, shilling, etc).

>>66
So you mean you like the potential of the board, what it can become.

>>69
Indeed.

>>66
Yes, I think we should keep invitations to this board among real-world friends and references in relative /pol/ threads. As in, if a /pol/ thread is already going down this line of discussion, mention it. Otherwise, try not to advertise blatantly.

>>76
kinda too late, seen some threads on pol already

/pol/ is going down the shitter since the second exodus. The drop in quality of posts has been astounding. Don't link this board on there.

>>524
I don't even remember how I found this board but don't abandon /pol/ to shitposters. Ever since the first exodus (when I came here) I've been doing the work of calling out shitposts and at least saying "this is shitposting and here's why you didn't contribute any content, this is a reminder that we want contentful posts so please keep your shitposting on /b/"

In the first few weeks after, I was getting support from other recent migrants, the odd "thank you" or two when I called people out. If we made a point to build the culture there of intolerance of vacuousness, it would catch on, that is, I believe there is genuine support for a monolithic /pol/ where shitposting simply doesn't work and the discussion is fruitful and topical.

As long as one person per thread is calling out (no need for lots of people calling people out on it, because that become shitposting and could be baited) and in that one post he also contributes something on topic (so he's not shitposting by proxy) it could be downplayed as "board culture" to thoughtfully say "excuse me, but your post saying JIDF pls go does not add anything new to the discussion and is worthless on a board that values meaningful content. Please remember to hide and ignore posts you don't like :^)" Meanwhile everyone who isn't shitposting can hopefully discuss the topic.

What do you guys think of hiding this board from the index?

>>530
If the posts per hour are more than 10 absolutely, since it would be fairly noticeable in the boards index. And with /pol/'s current post quality we certainly don't the funposters to come here.

>>533

agreed. we need slow boards to crystallize our thoughts.

small "think tanks" and war rooms to grow, plan and build a movement. If there is anywhere on the internet to do it, it is 8chan.

>>530
My thought is that it's still to early for this, admin. You need to build a firm user base before hiding the key. Board is extremely slow and quality is gradually improving.

>>545
is censoring swearing really necessary?

the high brow nature of the board would really deter it to begin with.

its hard to insert blimping cunt rag into a discussion about gustave le bons crowd psychology

>>546
Unfortunately, I have seen a few instances where people seem to go out of their way to be extra offensive.
I am open to suggestions, though.

Measures taken by moderator:

>Warning and deletion of post
Used when posters begin steering from the topic of the thread or board. The user is warned about the fact that their post will be deleted and why that is. The warning and the post itself will remain up for the time deemed necessary by the owner/volunteer for the user to see it, and then both will be removed. Example:
[Post 1]- “There is that movie where the bad guy tries to start a cult using that same set of techniques. I guess the producers did their research”.
[Post 2]- “I think I’ve seen that movie. That director really does his research, like on his movie about corruption in the furniture industry”
[Post 3]- “That’s a good one too. That decade was when he did his best works. Can you suggest me other movies by him?”
Owner- “>>[Post 2] and >>[Post 3] will be deleted in one hour along with this post because they constitute off-topic discussion. Please think before posting and keep to the subject at hand.”
Note that the users were not threatened with a ban or scolded, they were merely warned so that they will understand why these measures were taken. Also, the first post was left there because a movie suggestion depicting an example of the subject actually adds to the discussion.

>Post deletion without warning
Used for comments and threads that are obviously not adding anything to the discussion and being intentionally off-topic, which will be deleted immediately. Example:
[Post 1]- “>tfw being manipulated by the Illuminati”

>Post deletion with ban threat
Used when the same user has made previous posts that required immediate deletion without warning (shitposting), or is being extremely offensive, or is spamming. Example:
[Post 2]- “Of course you believe that, you’re a dumb faggot who likes to choke on dick while making shitty posts. I swear to god, you people will believe anything if it fits your blimped-up world view. I hope you die in a fire, cunt.”
Owner- “>>[Post 2] You are being disruptive and needlessly aggressive. Your post adds nothing to the discussion and was made in a purposely inflammatory way. It will be deleted in a few minutes, and if you persist with this sort of attitude you will be banned.”

>Post deletion and banning
When posters in the previous case refuse to behave properly, or in case of raid, or in case of posting illegal material (e.g. CP).

>Observations
Warnings should be brief and clear. Bans will be short, but will increase in length in case of repeated offenses. All posts deleted should be screen capped for future reference, as well as the posts to which they might have been replying and the warning given by the volunteer/owner. In case of raid all actually productive threads should be locked and stickied.

>>530
I'm okay with it if we get enough posts to sustain the board. If you find this board or are referred to it, you might have something to contribute. Some general /b/ shitter coming around isn't the kind of person we want here.

>>545
You can remove the 'fucker = blimper' one.

It'll do it automatically with fuck.

>libtard is liberal
TOP KEK
This board is going down the shitter already.

You're right. This is a great board. Thumbs up, board.
