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.

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.

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.

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/.

>new game comes out >its shit >cant even discuss why its shit because dubs spam kills every thread asking whats wrong with it >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.

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.
