There's an offtopic shitposting trend that has just started exactly one week ago and you really need to make sure it stops.

A week ago the JoJo anime started airing again, while I fucking love the series myself and have been reading it for many years the reappearance of the anime has also meant that a small amount of shitposters have started to make obvious offtopic shitposting threads in its name claiming it to be "board culture" to do so even though they didn't exist more than a week ago.

Anyone who used to go to 4chan before the exodus will remember the "/v/ doesn't talk about videogames" meme that every board (including /v/) used to use to not only talk down to the board, but also used itself on the board to excuse every offtopic shitposting thread that was ever made. Currently we have very few of those offtopic shitposting threads that started this meme on 4chan but threads like this (and if people start posting sales numbers and other consolewar bullshit) it will only be a matter of time before history repeats itself and the videogame board becomes a board where you can't discuss the board topic.

Don't take this the wrong way, JoJo has videogames made about it. All-Star Battle being the newest I personally know of. Threads about the videogames are obviously not what I mean needs to be removed, it is tthreads like
>Just finished part 7 and Holy shit. Part 7 will always have a place in my heart.
That obviously have no reference to video games that you need to remove as soon as you see them. The threads themselves (as far as I have observed) have maybe 5 out of 100 posts relevant to videogames. It is obvious that these threads are made with no intention of being on the topic of the board and you need to stop them before you actually let them become "board culture" (if you will let offtopic shitposting exists just for the excuse of a board culture of shitposting).

What I am basically hoping is that you will agree that /v/ shouldn't be continue the trend of being "lol nobody talks about the board topic here" and that you will stop the obvious development towards that. Which is happening right now before you.

This is pretty much what I've always insisted needed to be enforced. If you want to talk about Jojo, start a Jojo vidya thread and wait for the inevitable derail, dammit.

Or just go to fucking /a/ because /v/ is for videogames, it's not a buttbuddy club where you go to talk about whatever with all your imaginary friends.

Not that all offtopic is bad, but starting a thread with the intent of derailing it to not board topic shit when there's a fucking anime board is top autist shit.

That's the same "(board) is my home, everything I do has to be HERE" mentality of the faggots in other blatantly offtopic shit threads that they claim are board culture.

Board culture is shit like Pressure, which is obviously videogame related. Or those hank hill mmo threads, although those are pretty tired.

You are STILL allowing this shit to happen so where the fuck is the updates about this? Its offtopic. Its normalizing offtopic shitposting. Just fucking delete the threads or posts when they're not about videogames.

Fucking this

Are these peoples' heads so far up their ass they can't comprehend opening another tab and going to another board?

Oh AND we have fags thinking /v/ is for 4chan discussion

>>>/v/1906932

Seriously, can't people understand that just because it's a video games board it doesn't mean we have to do everything we did on halfchan?

Maybe if /a/ wasn't such shit, people would discuss anime there instead.

Nothing's stopping you from making a separate board for /v/irgins to talk about anime,

ba2eb9 No.2294

>>2292
Exactly what >>2293 said.

>b-but I won't get the people from /v/ then!!
Change your name or subject field something for a week to promote it or do something to raise awareness for it. There are a million ways you can invite people to your personal board without shitposting on existing boards.

If everyone in the Jojo thread took it to /a/ or /jojo/, those would be better places. Smaller boards need to be cultivated instead of just written off.

This has the potential to cause a reverberation problem.

You have a bunch of people, fearing that /v/ will devolve into generally-accepted, non-vidya discussion, become vehemently militant to all forms of non-vidya discussion and, in lieu of any moderator interaction, will take things into their own hands by shitposting in threads they deem to be in violation to their interpretation of what belongs on /v/ and what doesn't.

The thing about it is that there is no uniform idea amongst the users about what's acceptable on /v/ and what isn't, so you'll have hundreds of people shitposting other threads for no other logical reason other than "I don't like it."

This will inevitable cause a lot of problems.

Therefore, it's important for moderators, volunteers, whatever to step forward and help dictate for good and all what belongs and what doesn't. Hands-off moderation and only intervening when something big is happening isn't suitable for a board like /v/. There needs to be some effort on the mods and volunteers part to help steer the conversation.

I'm not an avid posters of Jojo threads, I just occasionally post about the games and the show when I see a thread around. You'd have to suggest it to one of the rabid fans. Point still stands though /a/ is a shit place to talk about manime and /v/ actually has decent anime fans as compared to /a/ so you can see why some fans of the show would rather talk about it there than the other shithole.

>>2296
And I would agree, too bad people have a tendency to entrench themselves into their regular boards and not explore much further.

>>2297
I agree completely, mods either need to make it known that self-moderation from the userbase is ok and should be encouraged, or start taking shitposting into their own hands. Doing nothing though is exacerbating the problem and either solution would be better than what's going on right now, that is to say nothing.

>Muh "Never go to X board to talk about X, always go to Y board for X" shitpost meme

That died years ago and for good reason you shitposting fuck. Do us all a favor and leave entirely.


You know who says shit like this? Faggots with shit taste. Do you know why discussions of other topics are calmer on boards they don't belong on? Because people aren't passionate about them, or they'd be on the boards they belong. AKA, those threads are filled with the most surface level shit eating fucking casuals that don't actually get accepted on the board they want to go on. Like narutofags, I have seen people make naruto threads on /v/, or cod threads on /k/, because /a/ won't tolerate that shit and /v/ doesn't tolerate CoD, because CoD and naruto are fucking garbage for worthless meatbags.

You are a fucking shit-eating casual that wants to talk about ancient fucking shows and has nothing of value to say about them, you probably don't understand why nobody gives a shit about a fucking cowboy bebop thread on /a/, because they've ALL fucking seen it already. Fuck I hate you and everyone like you, you stupid fucking casual shit.

Also, /a/ here is still more of a /v/ pretends to be /a/ situation, and even regular /a/ likes JoJo, so shut your fucking mouth and take it over there or better yet leave this place entirely you stupid shit.

Well, but you can't police intent, so we really have no way of verifying if someone is making a Jojo vidya thread to talk about Jojo or the anime.

The solution is to either give everyone the benefit of the doubt OR go full nazi and delete / ban anyone that makes even a single, tangentially-related-to-the-OP-but-not-vidya post in a vidya thread, and the latter sounds extremely overkill to me. We lose more than we gain.

>deleting shitposting threads that can be remade in 5 seconds is the equivalent of 10+ million deaths
Amazing.

Seriously you faggots take only 5 seconds to make a shit thread with a single sentence and now you want to say that deletion of those threads is a huuuuge fucking deal? Maybe if you tended to make threads with actual content to discuss and a lengthy OP instead of "LEL X GENERAL XDDDD" you would have a point. But the amount of people who make a one sentence OP clearly negates any negative connotation to deletion of threads.

I dare you to go to /v/ right now and tell me exactly how long you expect it would take for the average person to repost their thread after deletion/locked/autosage. And then tell me how that equates to killing millions of people.

>Point still stands though /a/ is a shit place to talk about manime
/a/ often talks about jojo and other kinds of manime, the main problem is the rabid manime fans who think any other forms of anime are a mistake and often looks down upon, which is the highway to shitpostville.

I like this the best.

>>2156
I agree when you talk about the home mentality, which is pretty much what the OP has stated needs to stop, but I don't object to starting tangentially /v/ related threads for the purpose of having them get derailed. I think that if someone can at least tangentially prove that something is vidya related, then it's /v/ enough to be culture. JoJo does kinda feel like culture at this point.

>>2290
Agree 100%, there's /irc/ which pretty much fills up that purpose

>>2294
>>2302
I'm also a /sp/artan so on the one hand while I want to say that blatant not vidya is generally unwelcome on /v/, if it interests the users, like JoJo does, then it should be allowed to stick, to a degree. I think it's a legitimate point to say that /a/ users are elitist assholes, and shit up their own board.

>>2297
I agree on the points of fear of non vidya, you can't fear everything not vidya, or else board culture will become stagnant, die, and then you're left with a halfchan-tier board, except you'll see more sagebombers and doubles spammers than we already have. Moderators should not do much to steer the board, if at all, however.

>>2315
>Mention that you use /a/
>Immediately assume he has shit taste
You're proving his point, amigo

>Being this much of a nitpicking nigger, especially over the holocaust of all things
Where the fuck do you think you are?

For fuck sakes.

Making a thread to derail it is basically encouraging thread derails.
Are you fucking sure of that?
