So, /operate/ is getting pretty full of shit, its at this point, mostly /intl/ and shitposters, doesn't matter too much that its /intl/, someone will do this regardless. /operate/ is slowly becoming the new /meta/, nobody comes here, because any legitimate concerns are buried by shit.

Hotwheels comes here and just see's shitposts, and nothing worth responding to at this point.

Is there any way to save this board?

Does anyone have any ideas?

Is there any way to prevent it from getting this bad when we get to NEXT?

/operate/ used to be great, /meta/ way back in the day was an awesome board!

How do we fix this?

And how are we going to weather the shitstorm that will arise from trying to kick out the shitposters

The admin should never be forced to face up to his poor decisions. Only Global Mod-approved topics should be allowed, right [desu]? :^)

There's a difference between complaining about decisions he's made that are completely up to him his decision to do an AMA on Reddit for example that resulted in a flood of shitposting on this board and legitimately bad decisions or user concerns such as posting and interacting with the community less

one is /meta/, one is not

Though perhaps a single thread for complaining about hotwheel's decisions could work, but if more full fledge complaints about how hotwheels decides how to do things, the board will be flooded with nothing but /meta/ about hotwheels

Question, should threads be locked after issues have been resolved.

Example:

"Hey there's cp on /b/!!! *link*"

"CP has been deleted, locking this thread now"

Any ideas on how this could be managed?

Threads should be left open for at least a while for sure, in case something was missed or something related pops up.

Maybe simply autosaging when an issue has been resolved?

an idea that probably won't be possible until NEXT, but...

Limit the page count, to something small and manageable like 10, BUT, also make threads fall off and "disappear" but not get pruned when bumped off, with some limit so it can't be abused (push threads off a board ad infinum so there's actually 100 pages of threads on the server they just aren't visible, maybe 5 pages or so of non pruned threads) So if spam happens, spam threads can be deleted without losing a ton of threads due to the smaller size limit.

THEN, make a thread with a directory of other threads, update by a vol, ie

>>1212 - Thread won't bump - Resolved

>>1215 - Sage wont work - Unresolved

>>1245 - Please add downvotes - Unanswered

Perhaps this could be something automated, and an actual function of /operate/ on NEXT? Kind of like a ticket system,that has a big list of issues on /operate/, how long they have been waiting for an answer, whether or not they have been responded to or resolved, whether or not its a bug issue, feature request, etc (perhaps set by flags?)

Not sure how feasible that is, but it could make for a much more organized and manageable /operate/

The global moderators like OP are pathetic. No wonder this site is the laughing stock of Chans.


000000 No.84263

Making an entire board the boogeyman of the site and stickying a thread dedicated to killing said board on /b/ is why you are having these problems now. You destroyed the good will of your own users and now you must bathe in their shit. So they chased a few redditors away big fucking deal. Redditors dont belong on imageboards to begin with and would have left anyway once voat came back up. The only way you are going to fix this is to repair the damage done which may not be possible to be repaired at this point. Instead of trying to work with these shitposters by talking to them and showing them that they have a place on this site you tried to chase them away and showed them that redditors are more important than the core user base as long as it means more users.

Here you had a group of people so dedicated to protecting 8chan from outsiders that they were willing to raid the redditors into oblivion to make sure they left. Now they find joy in destroying the site, pointing out any flaw and taking credit for anything that goes wrong. To fix such damage is going to take a lot of work. You will have to find common ground, and convince them your intentions are good. No one seems willing to do this except for Josh who showed up on their board yesterday to talk to them about infinity next. That was a good first step, even if he did get berated by a lot of users.

i mean this would be worthy of congratulations if it actually happened, see this whole thread i made here >>26896 . now what actually happened is that you had perhaps

a few boards actively push up a board that would have otherwise slid down the boards list like /neofags/, and /transfags/. it's somewhat comical that you had one side thinking

they actually accomplished something while you had hotwheels bitching and moaning and just generally dramafagging about an exodus that never happened.

if we're being perfectly honest here both of you ended up looking ridiculous during that whole debacle.

with that said i'll 100% agree with you that having the mods sticky a thread on /b/ was the worst possible things that could have been done, essentially you created a rift between the users whom

subscribed to the boogieman the mods/admin told them to be afraid of and you had those who didn't

also another point within regards to turning an entire board into a boogieman, this phenomenon has become very much apparent on /v/. essentially everything under the sun is blamed

on /intl/, it frankly makes me sick to my stomach to see such lunacy. this is purely hotwheels doing, he needs to actually do something to deal with this ridiculous level of paranoia that

he had a hand in creating. essentially he needs to say that "/intl/ is just a handful of shitposters whom are in no way deserving of the intense paranoia that some users have towards them"

i'll also agree that a few good faith gestures are required to deal with this rift that has been created

with that said i'll link to another post i made in the other thread >>32077

Actually bans are pretty harsh, just undid them

/operate/ does need a proper rules page though, with maybe some rules on what will get you banned, stuff like posting the same thread three times in a row, spamming brownpill, etc

anyways, this thread is devolving into /meta/ pretty quick and we made a thread for /meta/, so lets move it over there.

Just look at this cool mod right here. Have you ever seen a cooler mod? Have you ever seen a mod less affected by internet drama? Have you ever seen a mod hold his shit together better than this cool mod here? Have you ever seen a mod with such style, such grace, such a respectable countenance? Have you ever seen a mod more level headed than this one? Have you ever seen a mod with such composure, such steadfast refusal to engage in petty e-warfare? Have you ever seen a mod who delivers, snappier, wittier comebacks than this cool mod? Have you ever seen a mod look this cool while refusing to make an ass out of himself over trivial matters?

I don't think so. What we have here is the best mod in the world, a mod who stands his ground, who does not flip-flop around, who does not let himself get affected by shitposting, who does not ban users for frivolities yet does not the flow of discussion to be harmed. Here is a mod who is not fucked in his non-autistic head, and does not need to be beaten, for he does not need a cure. Here we have the coolest mod. This mod knows his place and his stature, and does not compromise it in any way. He is fair and does not seek attention beyond that which is necessary. He does not flaunt himself, he does not seek validation from people he knows nothing about. He does not have shit taste. He does not make an identity for himself out of dated, trite or stale media. He has a great sense of humor. He behaves at all times with unchallenged elegance.

He not only deserves his place, but makes all who aspire to his position struggle to be like him. He is a shining example for all mods to follow. He masters the art of moderation; not only in the professional aspect, but in the virtuous aspect as well - for his are to claim the virtues of justice, prudence and temperance. He is not only a cool mod, he is the Coolest Mod.

Hotwheels and the mod who stickied the /b/ thread

WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING?!

/intl/ were never 8chan's niggers, they were part of the defense force keeping normie scum out so it didn't end up over populated and cancer filled like 4chan did.

In the end it was pointless since the new posters did not exist meaning the reddit shilling was pointless and now, we've got part of our loyal guardians so butthurt that they're trying to butcher the very thing they've guarded by any means necessary.

So unless we can get more money pumped in for better servers, we're in the same boat as 7chan or even 888chan.

How will this end? Nobody knows, I hope either /intl/ calms down or some rich anon donated to give this site better developers and servers so /intl/ has no chance of harming it.

int/intl/goon/autistic faggots

They are shitpost locusts. Their entire goal in life is to shit up boards and sites until nothing is left.

Once they are the only ones there, then they will avatarfag and namefag in the most autistic manner possible in order to develop a pecking order and social structure that is half homosexual circle jerk and half good boy points comparison threads.

This is the same faggotry that destroyed /b/ and eventually moved to the rest of cuckchan and completely destroyed it. These autistic parasites hate the idea that other people exist, and sociopathically attempt to destroy anyone who is not part of their incestuous dick sucking tribe. They think they are the best, most chosen shitposters the world has ever seen and naturally they should have control over every space they infest.

Meanwhile, every other user laughs at them and ignores them, much to their chagrin. This only makes these autistic shitposters delve deeper into their self-hatred and they shitpost with as much fury as they can muster before they have to refuel on mountain dew and doritos.

intl are the literal Jews of the internet.

There is only one solution to them.

The Final Solution.
