>>1127>But the board wouldn't gain any activity anywayBefore the board was spammed to hell for 3 days straight, it had decent activity. Adding /vvv/ to the boardlist on /v/ would have further increased exposure. Not having /vvv/ be wordfiltered would have allowed linking to threads of interest on /vvv/ and pointing out in general that it exists, for example in conjunction with people complaining about /v/'s moderation. Because of the falseflagging, there is ground to prevent /v/ from being shown on the boardlist, to wordfilter it, and to otherwise have it slandered whenever it's mentioned genuinely.
>There's too many video game boards as it is./videogames/ is a textboard, /vidyagaems/ is dead and handled by former /v/ mods, /svidya/ bans anyone who disagrees with the opinion of any mod (their excuse is that no matter how well-written and relevant the post is, if they don't like it, it's "incoherent". They use this excuse in exactly the same way mark has used "spam" and 4cuck mods have used "post quality" as excuses to ban what they don't like rather than what doesn't respect the rules. /betterv/ is a joke (it's not actually about vidya), /vi/ is dead, has specific rules and is hidden.
The breakdown is as follows:
type moderation HP topic
svidya ib super-hotpockets high strict
v ib hotpockets very high loose
vi hib heavy ded loose
vvv ib barebone low free
vid.ga. tb ? low loose
v.ya.g. ib medium? ded loose?
btr.v ib none? zombie shitposting
v2 ib heavy? ded fedora
v3 ib none? ded shitposting
/vvv/ is the only board that matches early 4/v/ in profile. /vi/ barely even tried. /videogames/ is its own niche. The other boards are self-explanatory. The point is, /vvv/ exists because no alternative is /v/ without the hotpockets, they all have some kind of weird twist for unknown reasons or are dead.
> /v/ gets false flagged all the time by hackers and shitBut in that case, it has no effect on /v/. As a result, the false flag was, in fact, ineffective.
>It still reeks of some person/people shilling the fuck out of it.It's possible, but I think falseflags are more likely. Surely if it was a shill, he would make a thread on /vvv/ and try to convince others to help him, but the only shilling threads are met with negative responses (there are only 2 of them) or explicitly states goals that are the opposite of how the spammer acts.
