How do we improve post quality?
Almost every thread I'm seeing has responses that make me angry. Sage bombing, dubs derailing, complaining about people posting anime reaction images, people complaining about /pol/, people complaining about things being not vidya enough, people complaining about giving things attention, basically all threads have devolved into complaints and forum sliding with no real discussion going on.
Also the posts per hour increased by a couple hundred today so it's only gotten worse.
What's the solution?

Wait until the worst of part of /pol/ leaves and hope they become better posters before they visit our board next time.

Sadly I don't think there is any good way to ban this kind of posting. "post quality" is a hard thing to pin down and you can't ban shitposting because the definition of shitposting is "Posts I don't like"
You could make it in specific situations. Such as if one user posts a well thought out and well structured argument that is lengthy you could ban responding to it with simple responses that do not contribute to the topic.
You could also ban "Offtopic posting" in such a way that doesn't include dubs that Mark loves so dearly even if it's fucking awful. I'd make the rule say something like: "Posts within a topic that do not contribute to the conversation at hand or the topic stated in the OP as well as being particularly aggravating 0can be deleted."
But really I doubt they'll do anything about it. It's hard to weed out stuff like this.

>>3124I fear as though that the more we become "vigilant" against the next boogyman (redditors/tumblrfags/normalfags/ponyfags/cuckchanfags/SJWs/etc.), users will constantly lash out at each other for the most inane things.
This negativity will eventually bring the board down to nothing but trolls trolling trolls and constant, nonstop shitposting.
The worst part is that some of us will actually think as they're sagebombing some thread that they deemed to be "not vidya" simply because they didn't like what was being discussed that they're actually making /v/ a better place.
My suggestion is this: You really want to help /v/ be a great community? You allow anything related to video games and video game culture on the board and give people who want to talk about it equal footing. None of this "NO *insert fanbase here* FAGS ALLOWED" bullshit.
I agree that there should be standards that users should adhere to, but those standards shouldn't dictate what type of video games that can be discussed. Those standards should deal with the decorum of the board and how we go about discussing these games.
We shouldn't tolerate spergs who break out Bateman images and copypasta shit every time they see something they don't like. These people will bring down /v/ faster than any newfag or redditor could. People have a right to disagree, but that doesn't give them the right to force discussions off the board entirely if they're in full compliance with the rules.
If we're going to self-moderate, then we're going to have to moderate by the rules, not by what we think is suitable or not. /v/ shouldn't be ran under social-darwinist bullshit, because that will also lead to a community focused more about driving certain ideas out rather than focusing on discussion games and game culture.
To reiterate:
1. We need to be more rigorous about the decorum of the board rather than what can be discussed or not.2. If we view ourselves as having the right and power to self-moderate, then it's up to us to self-moderate by the established rules and not by what we personally think should be allowed or not.3. Hiding, reporting, and ignoring flagrant shitposting is the best way to help the board. Dubspamming to fight shitposters is the equivalent of shitting in an already shit-clogged toilet. Starving them of attention is the most effective way of making them stop. Responding to shitposters in any way hurts your board.4.Accept that people have the same privileges of having rule-abiding discussions like you do, regardless of the topic at hand. If you think it's against the rules, report it. Should nothing happen, then deal with the fact that the discussion is sanctioned and allowable. It's okay for people to like things you do not like. Having a board of people liking different things prevents /v/ from becoming a hivemind. 1d1941 No.3133

I've seen too many Protomen threada get sages by people with the message "not videogames" and then they proceed to continue arguing in the thread about why this is shit, etc. which essentially makes it look like they're either baiting or they are acting on the basis of "stop liking what I don't like", which is a huge problem for people on here complaining about shitposting.
Mature responses leave the door open for others to follow suit.
205b55 No.3160
>>3113To add to this you could also ban attempts to act in place of a moderator. Basically you'd just ban people who feel the need to hop into a thread and sage bomb it into oblivion and derail the thread with dubs would be a bannable offense. Of course this would get rid of dubshit but in all honestly, it will never lead to anything worthwhile, and the board would probably be better without it at this point. We could still have it in certain situations, like an offtopic, not video games thread was made and it devolved into dubs a mod could just set it to autosage instead of banning or post deletion.
>>3155I somehow think you lack reading comprehension so I'm going to explain this slowly.
The only thing that will get banned with that rule, is people who are not contributing to the thread or the conversation someone is having within the thread.
Shit like an asshole popping into a thread to say "Nice thread OP." and sages would get banned, people talking about the thread topic, a topic related to the thread topic, or topic that is brought up earlier in the thread would not be an offending response.
608b39 No.3161
>>3160There needs to be a clear cut definition as to what this, because on the one hand you can't have moderators banning multiple users for checking dubs, because that's just the community doing its job. What I would propose, however, is that people who complain about a thread multiple times in the same thread, (i.e. posting "not vidya" in a thread for The Protomen and on the same ID continuing to complain about it in that very thread)
205b55 No.3162
>>3161Like I said above, you could just not outright make it a bannable offense, you could just say in the rules "Offtopic posts are subject to deletion" or you could restrict it to video games threads at least leaving culture threads to the dubs dogs.
This way mods could ban it as they see fit.
There is a problem with your idea too, it's what constitutes "multiple people." It's not that hard to flip between IDs. But it's also not that hard to ban evade either.
But yeah, there is no easy way of going about this.
33e0f3 No.3166
>>3133This is the problem: People who think it's perfectly okay to have constant negativity on the board.
They equate it as a "image board" thing, and those who complain are "obviously" reddit/tumblr/SJWfags who are too thin-skinned to handle it, and either need to learn to deal with it or to fuck off somewhere else.
First off, having a constant negative decorum eventually kills whatever chance of having discussions and ideas on the board. Like I said before, all it will do is bring the board down to nothing but trolls trolling trolls and constant, nonstop shitposting.
There's a reason why 4chan /v/ eventually became referred to as /b/ 2.0. Newfags didn't cause it to happen, neither did Redditfags or Tumblrfags or whatever. It was the constant shitposting over the most inane shit and an almost-invisible mod team that barely did anything about it.
I can't speak for everyone, but I first came here in September to escape that shit. This /v/ was actually civil. Almost nobody broke out into shitposting, and everyone seemed genuinely happy about it.
That feeling is now slowly giving away to shitposting and dubspamming, and it genuinely disappoints me that it is.
Maybe some of us came here to escape shitposting. Maybe some of us came because "lol moot is a faget." If you think that this /v/ is automatically superior to 4chan's /v/ because it's not part of 4chan, then you don't understand what makes a good board.

>>3034>How do we improve post quality?Delete any thread that doesn't have a worthwhile OP.
A worthwhile OP is:
Not greentext
Not a single sentence/question
Directly discussing a video game or video game franchise
Not e-celebs, not tech (graphics cards/rate my conputer), not reccomendation (which game has x in it???) or similar to those. MAKE IT ABOUT A VIDEO GAME OR VIDEO GAME FRANCHISE.
Suddenly everyone has a basis for making good posts. Since they are replying to good threads. After all of this has been put in effect efficiently you can start looking at in-thread post quality.
The OP of a thread is more important than every single post inside of it. Since the OP is what is always shown in the catalog/image board page.

Recommendation threads especially are a fucking retarded thing to ban because I actually like those and sharing games I like with other people.
What you're asking is to ban this because YOU don't like it. You're not trying to fix the problem, you're trying to redirect it, getting rid of what you think aggravates the retards instead of actually punishing the retards.
I'm not the one trying to wave a wand here. I'm explaining it how it is. You wont accomplish ANYTHING by banning shit that YOU don't like. You're excluding whole types of threads, and your criteria is shit too because it can be construed in any which way as well.

When eternal summer started in 2008 on halfchan people were no longer capable of stopping the massive flood of newfags by telling them to fuck off and stop shitposting and the newfags thought they were entitled to shitposting and disregarded any dissenting voices because there were too many of them and that's why halfchan went to complete shit.

>>3206>What ruined /v/ was assholes like you shitposting and spamming in threads you didn't likeAgain, pre-2008 this is what happened to shit threads. Dubs posting was the reinvigoration of this that halfchan needed at the time until butthurt idiots decided to post it in every thread.

>eternal summer.That was just a myth, anon. It was proven that 4chan's active users and PPH didn't change during the summertime.
The "eternal summer" concept was just a convenient excuse to describe the declining board quality, much like how people on /v/ back then blamed newfags for the declining quality. Then it was redditfags, tumblrfags, and now we're here, it's halfchan fags.
But aside from all that, I've read your drivel, and you're just one of many others who's trying to make /v/ +their+ /v/ by making all these comments of what should be allowed on the board.
Frankly, anything should be allowed for discussion so long as it follows the rules. I don't give a shit about e-celebrities like JonTron, so that's why I don't participate in those threads, and I go into my own. It's that fucking easy.
If you think something is against the rules, then report it. If you think sometihing needs to be done about it, get ahold of the mods directly. We can do that now because the mods have a tangible presence on the board and are easy to reach. We couldn't do that back at 4chan.
And if nothing happens after that, you should learn to deal with the fact that people can discuss things that you have no interest in, and that's okay.
Being a shitbaby and trying to make it impossible for people to discuss things you don't like, no matter what reason you come up with, helps ruin the board faster than any influx of tumblrfags or newfags ever could.

You're not allowed to make that decision, that's why we left /v/ in the first place. Buttmad mods didn't like that we were talking about GG so they deleted our threads.
Now buttmad faggots don't like specific threads so they're saging them into oblivion.
You're a fucking retard if you think ANY of those threads deserve to get sagebombed and derailed. You're the cancer if you want to dictate what is discussed and what isn't. You're also a fucking dumbass if you think it's justified to try and censor an opinion you don't like by destroying any chance of having a conversation within the thread.

See I can do it too.
You can't dictate what is video game culture and what isn't. If graphics cards, e-celebs and muh rig is video game culture then dubs posting and sagebombing can be labeled as such too. At least dubs have more cultural basis than either of them because its a meme.

I think what me and the other anon is trying to get across is that this board could benefit from having less people like you who want to drive out specific content that follow the board rules because you simply don't like it, but you do it under the guise of "self-moderation."
If it were truly up to people like you, we would become indistinguishable from 4chan /v/ within a matter of months.

>>3228I'm going to ignore your strawman and your complete hypocrisy and jump right to this:
>Make a claim. Back it up or it means nothing.Back up your claim that bad OPs are what's causing the board quality to drop. And prove that sage bombing and Dubs posting aren't to blame.

>>3228>If graphics cards, e-celebs and muh rig is video game culture then dubs posting and sagebombing can be labeled as such too.So you would lump disruptive shitposting that doesn't contribute shit along with threads where people actually discuss things?
I thought you wanted a better board, anon.

>>3230>Back up your claim that bad OPs are what's causing the board quality to drop.Alright in every circumstance of a good OP you usually have very good responses. You can go now and check. Any thread that follows the rules I set up generally has good or mediocre responses. Right now we're in australia/russian time so shitposting is at maximum, so we can't expect the world. But there's a reasonable sample to go after.
There's the Max Payne thread for example. It has a reasonable OP and even the shitposters trying to flame OP make longer replies than normal. While in threads like the one with Shadow the Hedgehog on it is just a bunch of shitposting.
>And prove that sage bombing and Dubs posting aren't to blame.Sage bombing and dubs doesn't influence people when they make a thread. So therefore they cannot be blamed for bad OPs.
>>3232>So you would lump disruptive shitposting that doesn't contribute shit along with threads where people actually discuss things?When they're offtopic then they are equally valuable. As in zero value.

>>3234>You can go now and checkI literally said almost the exact same thing in another thread, and even in this thread, and you said that this wasn't proof and I needed more specific examples.
I went on /v/ earlier today and saw a flash games thread get sagebombed because some asshole didn't like flash games.
Just fuck off, your idea is retarded and the board owner will never make your shitty hugbox.

>>3240>you said that this wasn't proof and I needed more specific examples.And I provided such examples myself in the same post.
Guess you don't read.
>hugboxIt has nothing to do with a hugbox. But again as you don't read...

You almost had me there, I thought you were serious.

>>3247>baseless accusation based on 2 random threads that I picked out. One which followed the rules I set up and one that didn't.I'm just going to assume you'd have replaced Shadow Realms or whatever with any videogame I was going to present.
I would say I have no clue what you're talking about, because I genuinely don't. However seeing as how you're seemingly desperate for more childish namecalling because you've given up as you realize I am correct I guess that would be pointless.
I've proven my point, you've been unable to prove even a single of your own points. My objective merit speaks for themselves to anyone watching.

If you can't handle the fact that my opinion is different from yours you need to whine to mods to delete my posts where I'm trying to say you have shit taste then you need to get out and go to whatever SJW hugbox you came from. I'm sure Reddit would fucking LOVE to have you since you get triggered by sages so much. See? I can be a big babby too. :^)

>>3254>Yet you're completely okay with mods deleting posts and banning users who say your taste in games is shit?I love how you think Sage bombing and Dubs derailing is people saying "Your opinion is shit."
I told the other anon his opinion was shit and he got all bootyblasted about it.
What I want is for every single video games thread to have a chance regardless of whether you shitposters like it or deem it worthy for your shit tastes that not everyone shares.
It's funnny that you mention a hugbox because you want to ban threads you don't like so you don't have to suffer the opinions you don't like and that sounds pretty fucking hugboxy.

>>3259kek nigger i never said anything about banning threads i dont like. Too bad I'll always try for dubs in shitty threads I don't like just to see you fags cry. I love how you think all people who say your thread is shit are shitposters. I think you belong on Reddit little babby.
