So once the shitpost spam dies down, anyone interested in making this closer to Hotwheel's original image of /pol/?
No.707
But there's already /leftypol/.
No.708
>>707/leftypol/ is almost as bad as /pol/.
If anything they're even less receptive than the nazis when it comes to economics.
No.710
>>708I don't know what you're talking about, anon.
We talk about economics all the time.
Just not bourgeois capitalist economics No.711
What was his original image even?
No.712
>>710Just like /pol/ then.>>711Shitposting and danke memes
"Free Market" of ideas being allowed to spread, where Nationalists, Marxist-Lenninists, Libertarians and Plebs can all come to interact without mods being massive faggots No.752
I want a board where I can talk about politics and not le stormfront memes.
Hopefully this becomes the place.
No.756
No.776
>>752That is the objective here. I am really amazed that this sort of thing hadn't happened in a meaningful way sooner.
No.783
>>752Sounds like a /pol/ I would visit
No.983
>>752This. I'll be staying if based owner lives up to his proposal.
No.987
>>984
Yeah, I've looked it over pretty thoroughly and the only objections I had were the prohibition of memes and anime. But that's already been modified from what I understand.
No.1037
>>984
How will you make sure this board doesn't become another /pol/ or /leftypol/? Will you ban off topic stormfaggotry outright or will you let the users decide and hope for the best?
No.1042
>>1037see
>>433and disregard the bits about anime and memes.
No.1044
as a /leftypol/ and /pol/ user, I was really disappointed when /pol/ became /rightypol/. I really want this board to take off because we NEED an unbiased neutral ground.
No.1186
>>710so not economics then
No.1189
I just want a board that keeps to the spirit of old 4chan pol
no stalking
no shitlord mods
no ids
etc..
we technically never even got that here
No.1201
Once the shitpost spam dies down this board is going to fall straight down the list
No.1228
>>752I give this concept my pyrsynyl blessing.
No.1232
>>1189>no stalking>no shitlord modsThese go hand-in-hand and I agree completely.
>no idsWhy not? It discourages disinfo shilling and shit-tier "trolling", though it doesn't prevent it entirely. What are the downsides of thread IDs?
No.1233
>>1232They present the illusion of separate identities. One guy with a cell phone can totally break IDs and avoid samefagging suspicion.
They are also ugly as fuck
No.1236
>>705>implyingThis is shitposting central dude.
No moderation = shitposting.
No.1237
>>1232>>no ids>Why not? It discourages disinfo shilling and shit-tier "trolling", though it doesn't prevent it entirely. What are the downsides of thread IDs?As shown on /pol/, that's far from the case. It neither prevents samefagging, or calling someone a shill. In fact it makes samefagging easier to pass off as legit.
No.1238
>>1237Don't forget they're ugly
No.1300
i am in favor of no IDs
No.1302
would love to see this as a place for posters with multiple viewpoints to banter
looking good so far
No.1306
>>1237IDs were activated because people were samefagging without changing IPs. More or less they were only meant to be activated for a day or two at a time randomly once or twice a month to point out JIDF-tier bullshit (we actually had bots collecting data, managed to trip them up in one of the threads, was spooky as all fuck).
They were never meant to be permanent, stormfags just made them that way.
>>1236You get new edgy people shitposting, but the wild west eventually becomes tame when people get bored of shitposting/become immune to bad shitposting/only respond to funposting. This is the natural result when mods don't ban shitposting and re-sensitize posters.
No.1310
>>1306>(we actually had bots collecting data, managed to trip them up in one of the threads, was spooky as all fuck)How shitty. Can you explain more? What did the bot posts look like and how could you tell they were collecting data?
No.1349
>>708/leftypol/ and /pol/ are the same damn thing.
They ban people for disagreeing with them. I hope that the mods here aren't giant faggots. If that happens we can at least hope to take over /leftypol/ in terms of popularity.
>>752Nothing wrong with a bit of /pol/ humor, but when that becomes the entire fucking board I have a problem with that.
No.1355
>>1232>disinfo shilling fuck off
If you support IDs and care so much about the shill boogeymen you belong on 8/pol/
No.1368
>>1349>They ban people for disagreeing with them>/leftypol/Gonna have to provide some evidence for that assertion.
No.1372
>>1310They were collecting other posts and pretty much used a cleverbot-tier system to create bait arguments. We repeated the same thing a few dozen times and the bot started to respond to everything in a few threads with the same posts (which were jumbled garbage, but we convinced it that they were baitposts), volunteers pointed it out and we debated deleting the thread. If it wasn't 3 AM I would've screencapped that shit. That was when I realized that forum spies and shit were real (this was right after the first exodus).
No.1373
If you idiots think you're going to have a good time enforcing more rules but claiming to have more "fair" moderation, you're in for a surprise. I can't fucking wait to see you turn on each other at the very first mistake made in enforcing those rules.
>>1228>>1232I guess /polidicks/ has one good use. Containing trash posters who intentionally post just under the shitpost threshold in order to bait. Stay here, and don't ever return.
No.1378
>>1373Hey, at least it will always be better than /pol/
No.1379
>>1373I'm just along for the ride, anon. More rules is bad when they're tailored against the userbase. Most of the rules here are tailored against the administration.
If this board does take off, you'll notice that while there might be shitposting, people will be generally happy here because they can be serious or fuck around.
