Reminder that spamming dubs/gary/trash/ect in threads about video games is against the rules.

If you think something is bad/cancerous/against the rules, report it or make a thread here on /metav/. Taking "quality control" in your own hands just leads to a clusterfuck where nobody can talk about anything anymore because virtually nobody agrees what /v/ is for.

It also attracts actual idiots.

We're going to be cracking down on these things ourselves. If you want the quality of the board to improve and want to do your part, filling reports accurately according to the rules of the board is the best way. We can't read ALL the threads, that doesn't stop us from trying.

Yeah, because you guys sure are on the ball enough to crack down on consolewar bullshit, shitty general threads, poorly disguised porndumps, etc

Because you two are obviously the heads in charge who have said self-moderation is key and are now reversing your position, oh wait

If folks see bullshit they're going to go for the post numbers. Getting dubs in actually good threads should be punished, but you are fucking stupid and ignoring history if you think blanket banning gets is going to do anything but let cancer fester.

This, also this just indicates that both the board and the "volunteers" are regressing to halfchan standards and stupidity.

If people dubs or gary spams in a thread smart people will ignore it, idiots will cry about it and run to their volunteers.

Most of the time threads that are dubs or gary spammed in the first place are started and bumped by idiots.

Yeah you guys hit the nail on the head. This is EXACTLY like halfchan moderation, that isn't wrong in any way, shape or form.

We value self-moderation because it's a thing that you should be doing already. How do you expect us to read every thread and clean them all up. Not like that would cause a huge shitstorm.

28bb38 No.2363

Eh, I think everyone needs to calm the fuck down. Self moderation doesn't mean spam threads you don't like. Obviously if the general consensus is if the thread is shit, it will die regardless. I don't want to see dubs removed because I think they have their place, and I think some of the dubsmen have been godsends. However, since the third exodus there's been an increase in "quality control" fags.

I'm not talking about the anons who have been here since before the 3rd exodus, because dubs were under control then. My issue isn't even with the dubs, it's with the "quality control, this shouldn't be posted on /v/" mentality. We've been lax before the third exodus, because the community had grown and matured to a point where threads were consistent, actual shit threads were dealt with by the users, and off-topic wasn't abused and fit in.

The third wave of /v/ users are the cancer from halfchan. If you are caught in the crossfire of us trying to purge them of their faggotry, then just file a ban appeal. I understand your position, we're just trying to get it back to pre-3rd Exodus levels of control. Once the board is back under control and the cancer understands how the board operates, I imagine the hotpocketers will cool their ban trigger fingers. They'd better.

Until then, if you're new, don't be a faggot and lurk. If you're not new, bare the torch and shitpost responsibly.

>>2360

Also I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

By the way, one thing you absolutely should do to cull people abusing dubs

If someone goes dubsposting and ISN'T SAGING, ban them for it.

Dubs spam only happens because moderators are seen as inept and out of touch with the community. If you don't do anything about low quality threads users will.

>>2369

We came from the same place you did, Maku is practically /v/sperg incarnate. Spamming a thread about a game that you think is shit isn't quality control, it's faggotry.

We're not talking about threads like, "PC WILL NEVER EVER HAVE" or "What kind of games do black men play", I'm talking about dubs spam and "quality control" in a thread about a game. It's happening way to often and it's cancerous.

i just want to say that there is apparently a large number of people on this board that think they should have the right to shut down any discussion they dont like. If you want to talk about a game they hate, or a dev they hate, then they will ruin your thread.

these people need to be prevented from messing up the board. People should be allowed to start threads about a videogame and talk about it on /v/.

>people start forgetting why its shit and just hate it on reflex because "/v/ hates this game"

Actually, if i were a marketer marketing a shitty game, spamming in threads that try to talk about my game is the easiest thing to do, since actual discussion would be discouraged yet my brand and logo is guarenteed to stay on the front page for hours. Thanks /v/!

>>2376
we don't really care if a game gets a lot of hate. thats not what we're talking about. this discussion is about people who flood threads with dubs posts in an effort to make the thread 404 faster and stop any discussion, good or bad.

40fa5a No.2385

>>2377
>>2376
This is the big issue here, discussion of any kind is prevented from happening because some just can't accept that something they don't like exists. This is the key reason half/v/ has been so shitty for years, you can't have discussion positive or negative without getting dog-piled by shitposters.

Nope. POKEMON threads are fine. /furry/ raiding them and shitposting everywhere is not. And no, faggot, don't compare your shitty fetish to fairly normal shit. You fucks have been regarded as the most obnoxious fucks on the net for more than a decade because you can't keep it to yourselves, everything has to be about you and your fetish. You were not tolerated in the old country and now you have your own containment board here, so quit your filthy tumblr "fursecution" whining and stay on your fucking board.

Generals are cancer though, no matter the topic. So yes, report it for being a general.

It's happening in this thread right now. >>>/v/2017467

OP was asking about what games he should get for his brother, and it devolved into dubs spamming.

Doesn't really matter where they're from honestly. I know some faggots will cry "self-moderation!" but it doesn't work when you got sage bombs and dubs spamming to push a thread to bump limit.

90087d No.2574

I also noticed that they are using to gaps in rules and mods to spam. And because the mods do nothing.

Like I said Dubs aren't bad it's the posters.Anons who use dubs properly will be able to derail crap threads while others will use it to harm the innocent.

>>2577
With that shit you just gotta ignore it, doesn't really bother me. Sage bombing, or just shitposting to push a thread (that would have probably been a good one) to bump limit needs to have something done about. I mean those two niggers weren't even making any sense about what they were allegedly upset about, they just wanted to stir shit. Replying to them only achieves their goal cause it makes it faster for them to push the thread into auto-sage, and so does regular posting if the topic is interesting to you.

Sage posts in general should be allowed as long as the same person doesn't post more than once or twice in a row. It doesn't cause "a clusterfuck" and make /v/ not agree on anything, if the thread is good then people continue discussion regardless, and if the thread is bad, then everyone dubs posts until the thread goes into the trash.

If you ban people for saging, then you're going to let cancer fester, if that matters to you. It's better for the userbase itself to decide what's cancerous or not instead of sending reports to the mods so they can ban people based on a seemingly arbitrary reason.

Not really if you're just posting dubs, but if he thinks he should join in on the dubs posting too then he should be banned. Repeated dubs posting in the same thread without saging on /v/ should be a bannable ofense.

>Not really if you're just posting dubs
You'd give OP more incentive to bump his own thread to counter your sage'd dubs. Inflated post counts on a thread attract other folks to view the thread as well. You're giving the thread attention.

4d525c No.2813

>>2800
More people seeing the thread just decides its fate more quickly though. If more people come there and want to actually talk about OP's subject, then the thread stays alive and the dubs posts don't do anything. If more people see the thread and they all think it's shit, it gets saged until it reaches post limit or gets deleted by a moderator because it's obvious that no one wants it on the board.

Please hire more mods to control the dubs spam! Literally every thread on the front page right now is FILLED with faggots dubs spamming it because they disagree with the topic of the thread. This shit is so fucking CANCEROUS, the board is becoming unusable because of it. And please start deleting the dubs spam. Don't let these faggots think that their posts are making a difference.

These late exodus faggots couldn't get on half and they still can't here.

There were amazing gets before these amateurs lagged along.

Watching a dub thread now seems cursed. Because some faggot tries to every thread.

It's like they don't know /sp/ is already here and better.
