They Do It For Free

*At No Cost*

I didn't post this but seeing you fucks starting to hotpocket like this is really disappointing.

26b048 No.4500

You are the only person to complain about this as far as I'm aware, and this was a good several hours ago. I treat all shitposting the same, if its not on topic it is getting deleted. I don't know why you think banning posts that blatantly break rules is a problem.

8a4227 No.4501

>>4500

Why are you acting like you're the only mod on /pol/?

096c49 No.4502

Meh, I shill my board all the time, Nothing yet.

Had a good convo with a mod about it too.

e45c98 No.4503

I see zero problems with this. The /polpol/ faggots need to be banned if they are going to keep shilling for their board even after our BO got new mods. There's no need for any of this anymore.

8a4227 No.4504

>>4503

since when has crossboard promotion not been allowed? Last I checked they were cool with it, then they started banning out of the blue.

What's your deal with being mad at /polpol/ anyway?

e45c98 No.4505

>>4504

Because they are being massive faggots about this. The owner himself said /polpol/ was only meant to be used as a backup until /pol/ was fixed. Now that it did, this shilling doesn't serve any purpose.

/pol/ doesn't seem fixed to me

Elaborate.

You can't deny that it isn't a million times better than it was before. The BO is also not done with hiring new mods, he will hire more soon enough.

Seriously? It looks about the same, constant "is x white" "why arent u christian" "omg guys women are horrible mgtow time" threads, it looks like half/pol/ for fuck's sake.

For a long period between 2-4PM EST and 9-10AM EST, I am the only one on, which is when this occured. Why would I use words like "we" or "us" in this context when its solely my decision? In my opinion it would be unfair for me to represent the opinions of the other mods like that.

>>4504
It had nothing to do with the thread it was posting in, and in this case I went for ban rather than simple delete because it had meta mixed in too (these threads always get slid to shit on /pol/ and mods do nothing)

>>4510
Report shitposts and I'll remove this. MGTOW is board related though. I disagree with it, ideologically wise, but this isn't a reason for deleting it when they stay in their own thread (and it SHOULD be kept in one thread).

Hope everyone understands. Its impossible to please everyone, so I can only try to be impartial and fair, and hope it works for the best.

Last time I got banned because of sage spamming a shitposter thread. The shitposter's thread was deleted, but no worries he just created a new one.
You are just a shit mod…

It appears that that ban wasn't set because he promoted /polpol/, but because he was lying about the moderation, which can be interpreted as shilling. I've seen plenty of people promoting their boards in /pol/, and none of them were banned.

>until /pol/ was fixed
Listen, I lurk 8/pol/ for ages now. And the more time flow, the more there is less and less real discussions. It all about jew this, kebab that, ivan there. Name calling. No arguments, just mere opinion, less and less data provided. Yesterday I was called a "Russian shill" because I didn't agreed with somebody about what should be the best for my country, said dude didn't even answer my questions nor proved he was a fellow countryman, and then, after dozen of shitposting some admitted to not be from our country and said they knew better than us. I'm fed up with all this shit, fucking seriously. So I began to lurk on >>>/polpol/ but I already see seeds of future opportunities for "shills" to get there too. You guys are destroying everything that's good in the internet. This need to stop.

I swear. I fucking swear one day we will gather all the data concerning how shills are recruited and paid, we will do everything we can, if we must trow shekels, we will and we will track all potential candidates and we will ruin your fucking lives. I can't stand it anymore, you guys are devoid of any integrity.

What did you expect? Instead of posting and wasting your time, why not just report the thread, hide it, and move on? People ban evade all the time, theres only so much we can do about that. Just keep reporting threads and for the most part well get to them quickly enough.

908206 No.4518

>>4517
>why not just report the thread,
Ofcourse I did. The thread lasted for 5 more hours after that. Ofcourse I stopped the sage spamming long time ago, but In one of the comments I insulted mods for not doing their job.
The result was that I was banned for hurting their feelings, but the shitposter was free to continue.

26b048 No.4519

>>4516
tbh I am getting tired of seeing shill accusations too. I check post histories every time I see it, and around 60% the time its unfounded, they just toss the accusation out to shut down discussion or discredit someone for having a polar opinion.

If you see someone you think is an actual shill, don't call them out on it or worse, bump the thread with a link to his reply, just report it and hide it.

3c08e4 No.4520

If you check our banlist, you'll see that shitposters who do nothing but call others "JIDF" and the like are getting b&, anon.

If you are talking about last night sometime, I think there was a gap in moderation that I normally cover, but couldnt because I got stuck taking care of my aunt during a manic depressive episode and didnt get back until much later. That sort of thing doesnt happen often to me, though.

You guys gotta understand were just humans too, sometimes we have things come up in our personal lives the require our attention. And I know you want to say get more mods to this, and I believe we're in the process of this but I havent heard from BO about it specifically yet, I missed my chance to talk about it with him last night.

>Now that it did
Did it, though? I did see an improvement in the bans (props to volunteers on that, sincerely, we see you actually actively working), but not so much in the quality of posts, anon.

>>4504
Very curious about that, what's the big deal with it? Last I checked, /polpol/ specifically said multiple times that both boards could very easily coexist as they targeted different demographics.

>>4511
/polpol/ack here, anon, and I think you did good, it's true that whether OP likes it or not, this was off-topic, and I agree with the removal of kebab or other forms of shitposting.

Now a question I wonder, is if I actually make a contribution in a thread, and see it turning to shit/being slid to death, while reporting the fags, is it also acceptable to you that I point out in the end of one of my related productive posts I happen to point out to a relevant polpol thread?

This is mostly regarding Ukraine threads which are insufferable when they even exist on /pol/, and most of the time the OP getting really pissed real fast about that. I usually don't post about /polpol/ on /pol/, but in these times, it's okay to point towards our board?

Thanks for the answer.

>>4512
That was a good ban, mods.

>>4516
hahaha holy shit anon, calm down rofl. Ya I noticed also shills beginning to lurk polpol, but BO is doing really good work banning their asses, we are getting more bans/deletion than some top 25 boards, and he started recruiting volunteers as well, so it shouldn't turn to shit easily, people care about keeping it shill-free.

>>4521
We understand the situation, keep working on that, Anon. But please do accept that people feel like they need an alternative, even though I think that ban was motivated, please look up for my question, thanks.

If the the /polpol/ thread is specifically discussing the topic on hand, a note like "/polpol/ has a good discussion on this ongoing over here too, if you want to take a moment to look." is not going to trigger my autism. Im mostly worried about posts where the advertising is completely off thread topic, or looks like shillery (mod complaints in the post, like Ive made clear I dont mind people having complaints about moderation but it goes to /polmeta/, and this is a surefire way of getting the post deleted).

Thank God for this. It is about time for this. People who offer no counterargument other than to call the person they are responding to a 'shill' 'JIDF' etc need to be removed from /pol/. Personally I was getting sick and tired of these characters.

The same goes for people who start threads with some BS bait such as "I'm a Jew and we Jews did nothing wrong" without providing a specific context or sources as to what he is talking about.

Both these kind of low quality posters do not belong at /pol/. /pol/ means politically incorrect not politically idiotic. I'm glad that finally something is being done about this.

Also if you want to advertise your board while at the same complaining about /pol/ board admins then that is wrong. Complaining about board admins belongs here in /polmeta/ period. Like the earlier posters said meta threads in /pol/ are guaranteed slidefests

No fucking wonder /pol/ is looking better lately.

this was a good idea, new mod.

>>4571
Maybe if it was posted to meta. /pol/ moderation concerns go to /polmeta/. There are no exceptions, this is stated in our board rules, and you have no logical ground to stand on. If this is how you truly feel, you are welcome to fuck right off and never return, as your shitty meta posting will never be acceptable within /pol/.

Read beginning of >>4572
I might be from polpol, but I agree with pol mods on this one, if I saw that on most board in a thread unrelated to the board's moderation, I'd ask for a ban. Refer to >>4534 and >>4539 I made a couple of good contributions to Ukraine threads, and if/when people shame the fact they can't talk about it on /pol/ I refer them to the appropriate /polpol/ thread, but I don't shitpost, contributions given actually help the topic/OP.

Though he went overboard here.
There's a difference between accusing anyone of being a shill and JIDF all the time and making a post like this; it was a response to a short statement, not to an actual argument. Posts like that hold a simple meaning of "what you say isn't true".

Gotta handle some banter, mods.

how about you explain why "what he said isn't true" instead of wasting a post? deserved ban. dont get soft, mods.

>wasting a post
what

also, no, I don't expect polack waste time refuting every single inane statement made in /pol/ unless their challenge of the accuracy of a statement (i.e. "jidf please") is challenged back

There will be a (very small) window of leniency in the future, for cases like this. For the most part, these posts are just shitposts, but the example you showed (and the earlier thread today that turned into a shitstorm after my public ban), I think I will have to live with as its basically a /pol/ related way of saying "I dont trust this".

Wrong. We have /sluthate/ and several other boards for them.

This is fucking priceless.

You fuckers know you fucked up, so now you're desperately trying to contain everyone. This is like the Iron Curtain in the DDR. Or like Christopher Poole frantically banning everything referring to 8chan.

Absolutely priceless. Nice to you see your true colors finally.

its sad that the owner of this site who pretends to be a cripple has to pretend that some "never there" mod is in charge of pol instead of just admitting his narcissism and control of the board
