>Are we to expect more volunteer edits to remove mentions of anything not vidya more often going forward?
>I seriously hope the cherry-picking being displayed by this guy isn't indicative of some new moderation philosophy being put in place
Nah, we have no plans on implementing some new moderation strategies. Mr. Black edited it because he thought it was the best, not as a part of some some new moderation philosophy being put in place

>>1011
Well something has changed. We've got a volunteer who thinks it's okay to edit out specific portions of posts because they aren't vidya enough for his tastes. He said himself that the thread was vidya related but makes a selective edit because it was "completely unrelated". Contradictions like that are some straight up half/co/ Redwood shit.

Mark's deal used to be a mostly hands-off approach to moderation, unless a global rule was being broken. Mr Black's edit meddling completely flies in the face of that idea. Did Mark give the volunteers carte blanche to micromanage content like this and didn't bother to let the board rules reflect that decision?

Making these types of threads are extremely counter productive. Mr. Black explained his reasons, which were completely valid in order to maintain the quality that 8/v/ wishes to uphold.

If it keeping that quality means that these types of edits will continue then so be it. Sorry.

No. Like I said, literally nothing has changed in the recent time, we haven't discussed any new moderation strategies.

Fuck right the hell off with that crap.

>>1014
>nothing has changed

The fact that the volunteers think it's okay to make pointless and unwarranted edits to posts under the extremely broad and vague perception of not being vidya enough suggests the opposite. No global or board rules were being broken in a thread that he himself said was on topic yet he fiddles with the OP, prompting meta discussion about it, and subsequently bumplocks it because of the meta discussion he instigated.

But if I'm to understand this correctly, as long as you guys do this shit in the name of upholding "the quality that 8/v/ wishes to uphold' then you get to do whatever you want to posts.

>not refuting the Redwood assertion
>volunteers get to do whatever the hell they want to posts and call it quality control
>being told feedback is counter productive
>blindly agreeing with fellow volunteers' dubious actions

Blue was a faggot volunteer but at least shit like this didn't happen when he was around. I can guarantee you that if shit like this keeps going or starts happening more often you're gonna have a bonafide exodus of your own on your hands.

>editing peoples posts

actually fucking censorship

I'm not trying to defend editing the OP (I agree in that I think it shouldn't have been done), but once in a while somebody's going to fuck up, especially new mods. As usual, some potentially useful feedback turns into a "delete mods" circlejerk.

Also, there is a lot shitposting, off topic, spam baiting threads on /v/ so I can't say I'm surprised that people (mods included) get fed up with that.

>>1008
You won't be censored like this on >>>/vvv/

Wow. I think putting in a sentence to derail your own thread from vidya discussion is shit, but policing and editing threads like this is absolutely unacceptable, and bound to evolve into "delete what I don't like" censorship

>>1022

This is not censorship. Please stop spinning this into something that it isn't.

>>1027
I never said it was censorship, just bullshit.

>Mark's deal used to be a mostly hands-off approach to moderation
Fuck you you asshole, I spit my coke all over my keyboard!

>>1027
to be fair, it is censorship when you edit posts like that removing more than 80% of the post content even if it is non-vidya related. I already have given my input to black on that thread so this will be my only input on the matter and I hope he takes that feedback into account.

brendan is the new meme btw on /tv/ if you are not updated about the times

Additionally, during the first exodus/early October, the /b/ webm content is sometimes ran through in /v/ webm thread. That became a culture in itself for /v/ since /v/ was/is the most popular board. Dunno why the change in tolerance to be honest.

>>1196
Webm threads were a thing in 4/v/, it's normal that it followed to 8/v/, though they really aren't vidya related.

>>1201
>Webm threads were a thing in 4/v/
I'm not referring to that fact. If you looked back on the archives of the OP thread, I was asking why Black had to change the OP of the thread (pic of the OP) when he is tolerating a /b/ content OP of a webm thread. He said that he won't delete it since it got a lot of replies already. He obviously has an intention to do so even with a slight deviation of a fucking OP in a vidya board.

That part is arbitrary on the mods.

fuck me I'm not into reading comprehension
