I think they should be identified, tracked, and banned. And then when they switch proxies and start yelling "GUYS I WAS BANNED MUH HOTPOCKETS" and try to divide and conquer the board and its mods, they should be banned again.

But it sounds like a lot of work so I don't blame you if you go play vidya instead, what do I know I'm just a 2003fag

203f4c No.4930

>>4929
yeah I'll probably do that. Think I should ask the board to report such characters just in case?

2e260d No.4931

>>4930
It seems like their recurring tactic is making meta topics in /v/ crying about their bans and accusing the mods of being worse than cuckchan or whatever, so it's probably best if you get the first word in, that way people should just scoff at them and report them instead of freak out and become useful idiots

Personally, and this is only if you don't mind the work load, Try and encourage your users to not respond to posts they think are bait or shills and instead report them.

It will most likely cause a huge influx of reports but it's better than having an entire thread derailed because someone posted some bad bait. After that the mods can ban at their own discretion based on the user's history, only use public ones if it's a really severe or obvious case to set an example. If their history is actually filled with conversation and an eagerness to actually discuss what they don't like about something then instruct the mods to just not touch them unless they dive off the deep end. If their post histories are total shit then just ban them for 3-7 days.

The main thing here is encouraging the userbase to NOT respond to content like this to reduce the amount of shitposting the offending anon can do.

an "If you don't like it, hide it. If you think it's breaking the rules even the slightest, report it and then hide it." reminder or rule will do fine.

879ce6 No.4935

This doesn't break the rules and shouldn't be banned until there has been a change in the rules.

What a loaded post. Where to begin.

>post quality

Were you even here for the first /v/ exodus? There is a huge gulf between those posters and the masses who don't lurk moar that shit up threads with pic unrelated /b/tard tier posts like in the OP pic. One was always board culture and topic related and contributed, and the other rolls around in its own shit and distracts everyone. The balance between the two is what is referred to as "post quality". It is always a "thing", or we wouldn't even be here.

>all mod actions are bad and we should revel in degenerates flinging excrement in the middle of a discussion thread

No. Are you saying if, lets say, NeoGAF, banned all SJWs tomorrow and reversed the bans on everyone that spoke out against them, that quality wouldn't be higher?

By all means, do listen to one of the hotpocketers and follow /pol/'s lead because someone makes some posts people don't like. Not like a significant amount of the "shitposting" /pol/ is cracking down on amounts to "being outside the natsoc stormfag hugbox/disagreeing with the groupthink".

>You can see fuckers in this thread trying to say that you're whining about pointless shit, but you're absolutely right. /v/ is already being quickly abandoned, quality control needs to be enforced because the board is fragmenting rapidly due to ridiculous amounts of shitposting and dubspamming.

>Have you ever seen /v/ maintain top board ranking for so long without some kind of major gaming/board event? This is how you can tell that something isn't right.


I'm glad I got linked in onto this board, I'd actually forgotten we had a direct line to Mark for these kinds of issues. There's definitely something wrong on /v/, it's been in a noticeable decline for the past fortnight. Dubspam on the rise, people trying to shit up GG discussion, absolutely any game will get shat on and spammed with sages and dubs checking. Something is rotten.

Blatant lie, there was as much "shitposting" back then as there is today: by that I mean none unless you really want to call anything that slightly annoys you "shitposting".

>One was always board culture and topic related and contributed


There's no such thing as "board culture", newfag. Anonymity makes culture impossible to create as nobody can identify themselves to a culture.

>Are you saying if, lets say, NeoGAF, banned all SJWs tomorrow and reversed the bans on everyone that spoke out against them, that quality wouldn't be higher?

By whom exactly? I mean which one among SJW subhuman filth, /pol/tards, maybe some /b/tards, cuckchan, plebbit is at it this time in your opinion? It is actually starting to become too difficult to tell most of them apart by now.
I think more than one group can be flinging shit tirelessly right now and we are just unable to tell them apart thus contributing the effects to a single faction doing a large-ish raid.

Don't even try it, I've had this exact conversation with you before and I can already see where this is headed.

You have never, and will never, produce evidence to support your claims, instead you will resort to copious amounts of namecalling (already happening) and will doubtless call me a newfag (like you did last time), assuming you will respond again.

In anticipation of that, I'll say it again: I've been here since /burgers/, I was here when the (first) MSNBC interview with John Flynt (Brianna Wu) aired which caused the first post-exodus population surge and brought a great many undesirables with it. Some of those undesirables founded /leftypol/ when they realised that spamming Marxism on /pol/ wouldn't get them very far and instead turned to a (still-ongoing) campaign of subversion in an attempt to strike back at the "right-wing hugbox", they promptly brought back the word "/pol/tard", which was popularised on halfchan in a concerted attempt by SRS to take over both /pol/ and the site in general and began to shill on /v/ and (after its creation) /news+/ by intentionally provoking crossborders to derail threads, then blaming /pol/ and using this as evidence that "/pol/ is just like the SJWs" (a still common mantra).

Now, promptly after its creation, /leftypol/ was promptly spammed to death by /pol/ and others like with every other attempt at infiltration (see >>>/sjw/ if you want to see this in action), which made their owner supremely butthurt, and this along with other mini-raids during the Ferguson chimpout caused them to go full "shut it down" and their owner added a rule which effectively banned all discussion of National Socialism under the claim that it was "right-wing" and only advocated by /pol/ trolls, a rule that still exists today. Other gems included claiming all discussion of Ferguson was welcome - provided it came from a pro-protestor/anti-racist perspective. The endless raids prompted the /news+/ conspicacy in which they would take every oppurtunity to bait /pol/acks and turn threads into anti-/pol/ threads where the climax of their argument would be "/pol/ is the same as the SJWs" (Sound familiar?).

tl;dr History lesson aside, you are either a severely autistic halfchan shitposter absolutely determined to lower this place to the level of halfchan as part of some bizarre revenge or a /lefty/ playing divide and conquer between the two biggest boards on fullchan, which share an immense amount of crossborders.

Wildcard option: You're JIDF with an old script that's desperate to discredit /pol/ after they discovered and publicised evidence of the IDF working with and giving orders to the Al-Nusra Front.

So you're saying those retards who derail threads or create tangentially vidya-related threads so they can roleplay der Weisse Engel are in fact false-flaggers? Assuming I believe for a minute you guys are not in full damage control mode because of your younger, dumber members: why didn't you faggots tell us about this earlier?

Are you new?

As I said earlier, the lies about /leftypol/ being an ironic shitposting boards came from nowhere several months ago and this is easily verifiable via the archive. As for the rest, I can't prove the conspiracy since /leftypol/ is not and was never archived.

Unfortunately I can't find the chimpout cap, but pic related shows you /leftypol/'s tolerance for free speech.

History lesson: Pic related came about as part of the early "post-discovery" raids when some /pol/ack went full stormfag in a thread and rekt everyone, including the owner who then threatened to ban him for "shitposting", predictably triggering more raids.

5b5a28 No.5008

>>5006
Also, I'm not talking about those who derail threads into /pol/itics. That happened all the time before the exoduses.

As an example, which I'm sure Mark or a volunteer will confirm, I was in a thread some months ago that literally derailed into "here's why the holocaust didn't happen", charts and all; Mark and Blue both posted in it and set out the official policy as hands off, i.e. that it's /v/'s responsibility to keep itself on-topic and there would no excessive moderation to the opposite effect.

>Are you new?
Don't be a double nigger and assume I go to your board, jesus fucking christ. If the faggots are trying to paint you in a bad light and they are looking convincing enough you get your lazy stormfag asses there and PROVE YOU ARE NOT LIKE THAT BY EXAMPLE. It's not like there are more of them, not in the long term. They are not autistic enough, not that persistent. They'll quickly get tired and leave, you'll stay and show what true /pol/acks look like.

>lies about /leftypol/ being an ironic shitposting board

Wasn't following that drama. They are retarded by definition though. Nobody makes a board literally dedicated to be an antithesis to another board and expects it to be taken seriously.

>when some /pol/ack went full stormfag

That's what alienates everyone when you do it here. We don't like someone shoving an agenda down our throats. Big surprise here, durr. When it's an old maymay it's fine, when you look dead serious you get the reaction SJW fucks benefit from.
