After all this drama and butthurt where the rulecucks declared /pol/ dead and fled to their hugbox what is the score?

/pol/ - 2765
/rulecuckpol/ - 401.

This means that /pol/ has almost 7 times the AU count has rulecuckpol. Nice work rulecucks. This means that a small loud minority of pol who wanted to ban anything they did not like used to dictate how pol used to run up until now. Now their true strength has been revealed and they are irrelevant.

Good riddance to the whole lot of you. pol begins its healing process now. All those users who had been driven away by ban happy moderation which was basically the mods catering to your hissyfits, they will start returning one by one.

This whole baloney of Rulefaggotry being listening to the community has been proved to be bullshit. You are not the majority. You are a minority. 401 is strength of your board including every rulecuck that started chimping out that mods had betrayed them to all those people trolling your board.

Have fun with your stupid board. Don't come back

Except this has nothing to do with my point, you dumbshit.

/pol/ vols said they did what they did because they thought the board was losing traffic, yet the user count is lower than it has been. How does that make sense? What was so wrong with how the board was moderated before if it's actual user count was higher than it is right now? What's the point of using a board that's exactly like it's cuckchan counterpart? People are here for quality, not shit. The fact that the cuckchanners jumped the ship as soon as joot 'fixed' cuck/pol/ proves that. Only people who were attracted to the general higher level of the quality of discussions remained here.

So far, you shitposting /int/scum only have one good argument against how /pol/ used to be before you subverted our moderation your "ebin menes" and "animu funposting", which is the fact that some of the users were acting paranoid and seeing shills in every post, but this is still not a fucking excuse to turn the board into a clone of cuck/pol/. That's an absurdely retarded way of trying to solve the problem and everyone who thinks like that should be shot in the head. Your other argument about /pol/ not producing OC is also refuted by the fact that cuck/pol/ hasn't been doing that either, despite their rules being a lot more relaxed. /pol/ OC like Ebola-Chan, Dorner, Doompaul, Happy Merchant edits and the Zimmerman trial happen naturally and the way the board is moderated has nothing to do with the current "meme drought" (I feel like a special needs 12 year old kid when typing this) we're facing. This is just the natural cycle of chans, you can't expect a board to be producing OC non-stop even when there are no relevant political events happening that could lead to the creation of it.

If you disagree with all of this, it's fine, you can have your /int/ shitposting central for you. I don't care. But I really hate the disinformation you're feeding to people here that you're all "oldfags" who have been on /pol/ forever and only retreated to /int/ temporarily because of the scary "rulecucks" ruining /pol/ for you. That's obviously not true. You're just a bunch of disgusting vultures who ruin boards and communities for entertainment. I saw a lot of posts on /int/ admitting to that, so don't bother trying to argue about this. There was also some anon on /operate/ which mentioned a external subversive group like the that one which crashed /gamergate/ recently could be using your piece of shit board as a cover for their actions might've been involved in this too. I don't discard this possibility, considering it would be unlikely for our mods to suddenly get convinced by your arguments out nowhere even though it was clear lost every single debate about this on /polmeta/.

Btw, I also noticed that the entire central point of your argument has shifted completely this time. At first it was: "Wow, /pol/'s activity is actually increasing despite the rulecucks threatening to leave!", now it's just "who cares if a few rulecucks leave our shithole?"

You're butthurt that I was right about the boost in activity being just people curious to see what was happening in the board: >>7177 so now you've started doing your pathetic damage control as if that changes anything. The migration is still happening btw, more people will leave once /pol/'s quality becomes unbearably shit due to mods not doing anything about all the low quality shitposting, obvious shilling and off-topic.

I want you to read some of these posts on /polpol/ to realize things are not as simple as you're trying to make them to be:

>>>/polpol/8213

>>>/polpol/8222

>>>/polpol/8225

>>>/polpol/8230

It's not the actual anime images that most people are against, it's the shitposting/spamming/avatarfagging associated with them. I have posted a lot of animu pics on /pol/ before and guess what? No one called me out on it because I was always well-behaved about it.

You only have yourself to blame by making people become less tolerant towards anime considering how much of a faggot you're acting about it.

It's also incorrect to say this is an "anime imageboard", since it wasn't created with the sole purpose of discussing anime. BUT, due to the strong influence of Japanese culture on chans and in this one in specific, it's normal that a lot of people here like some aspects of Japanese culture, and that includes anime of course. Still, this isn't a fucking excuse for you to spam anime everywhere in boards that have nothing to do with it. You should do it in moderation like everything else. Anime is not some sacred cow. I'm sure if people started pictures of The Simpsons or Adventure Time everywhere the reaction of the users would be the same.

Dunno where you've been, but I have been getting "le weeb degenrate fuck off to /a/" replies regularly for simply posting anime reaction pics ever since the 2nd exodus.

We've always had a few fags who hate anime, such as quentin, but they were always a minority in the past.

I've been posting anime pics more than usual recently because I noticed how many people on /pol/ are actually getting butthurt because of it. There are even faggots who have called for the traditional /pol/ 2hu threads to be banned; i.e. people who are completely unfamiliar with the board culture, but act as if they were in charge here.

People who are actually getting upset enough to migrate to another board just because they have to look at a bunch of images on an imageboard are not quality posters to begin with, and the board will be better off without them.

I would like to see the context of a few of those, because that happened very rarely prior to /int/ raiding the board (this wasn't the first raid involving anime shitposting that they've done, btw) unless if you posted it excessively or if it was an obvious shitpost/bait. This is based on most of my experience at least.

>We've always had a few fags who hate anime, such as quentin, but they were always a minority in the past.

Yes, and Quentin is a huge faggot who trolls all the time. He doesn't even hate anime. His twitter background is a picture of Kurisu from Stein's Gate and he has loli shit saved in his computer judging from his posts I saw in some threads about AoC or the legality of 2D loli in the USA. The most effective solution would be to ban and delete his posts every time he posted his troll bullshit, but our mods were far too incompetent for that apparently.

>There are even faggots who have called for the traditional /pol/ 2hu threads to be banned

Those were always obvious off-topic threads. Do you want to allow cuck threads or interracial pics on the board by that logic too? Oh wait, I think the mods are already allowing those. Have a good time with all the shills and shitposters, faggot. I'm done with your shit board for good.

Don't try to have an opinion on something you're ignorant about, m8. You'll only end up hurting our cause with that.

Actually, there was a thread about this stuff back in November, with tons of posts, but /pol/'s rules were a bit different back then. Trypt is fucking retarded as to think it would be okay to have that thread again under /pol/'s more strict rules, so that's why people saged and reported the thread that time.

Make no mistake though; these faggots are only using this very specific exception/example as something to further their agenda of turning 8/pol/ into a free for all shitposting central. Most of the board's userbase behaved very differently than they did post the second exodus, so that seemingly off-topic thread wasn't harming the rest of the high quality threads or discussions. All of this changed a lot when the cuckchanners migrated to here after joot decided to fuck with the board for shits and giggles, so the overall quality of 8/pol/ dropped very significantly. When the cuckchanners came in droves, they also brought their stale shitposting with them like "Is X White?", "Redpill me on X"?, "Has /pol/ taken the X pill yet?", "Is it okay to racemix with Asians"? "Why don't you support Israel"? and other low quality garbage/shilling. So, following the shittening of 8/pol/, people started asking for more strict moderation as to avoid having the entire board getting flooded with this type of shit everywhere. This was the only viable solution to the problem, since self-moderation was no longer applicable under that context.

I feel like I'm just fucking repeating myself with these points though. I've argued about this in three different threads already, and I really expect the mods to get convinced by most of my arguments. This is why I suspect some external group with an agenda to destroy our community might be involved in all of this (not talking about /int/, they're just a handy cover for them), since the mods are being irrational about it for no good reason.

What always set us up apart from cuck/pol/ was the higher quality of the board in general, regardless if this involved strict moderation or not. Strict moderation was a necessary evil to uphold a decent quality after the cuckchanners and shills started shitting on every single corner.

tl;dr cuckchanners wrecked 8/pol/, people asked for more moderation to deal with this, and now the mods think reverting back the changes is somehow going to bring 8/pol/'s quality back when this is clearly not the case.

Guess what, it didn't work. The idea was that we could integrate the 2nd-wavers into the board culture, but that failed miserably. The quality kept declining thanks to them, and the board was moving more and more closely towards becoming an actual hugbox (I don't even want to know how many reports for "shilling" or "shitposting" there have been by butthurt faggots who cannot handle things they dislike or disagree with).

/pol/ was becoming the laughingstock of 8ch; the only reason /int/ enjoys raiding it so much is because it has almost become the right-wing equivalent of tumblr.

Sure the lax moderation has its bad sides as well, such as the occasional shitty b8 thread, but that's a necessary evil. The type of poster who calls for bans of things he dislikes has to grow the fuck up and learn to either ignore or counter opinions and contents he dislikes, instead of screaming "LE SHILL XDDDD" and calling for bans all the time.

You fucked with the board and caused a huge division within the community for no good reason.

Neither do I. And I'm reluctant in taking your word for it because you sound like a shitposting faggot. Shitposters are always in the wrong.

>The quality kept declining thanks to them

Yeah, and now the quality is the fucking worst than it has ever been, you dumb fucking faggot. Do you really think pic related is how 8/pol/ looked like during the first exodus? Stop trying to rewrite story, you piece of shit. You do not fix this problem by turning the board into an exact clone of it's cuckchan version. There's no damn reason to use a board like that when there's already one exactly like it.

>and the board was moving more and more closely towards becoming an actual hugbox (I don't even want to know how many reports for "shilling" or "shitposting" there have been by butthurt faggots who cannot handle things they dislike or disagree with).

Already made an argument addressing this. Scroll up or get fucked.

>/pol/ was becoming the laughingstock of 8ch; the only reason /int/ enjoys raiding it so much is because it has almost become the right-wing equivalent of tumblr.

Because we should totally care about the opinions of a bunch of faggots which have no relation to the board anyway, right? Do you also care about the image that /pol/ has to the outside world? Any type of mainstream culture is utterly rejected on /pol/. The opinions of normalfags and other outsiders have about the board should be irrelevant to us.

>Sure the lax moderation has its bad sides as well, such as the occasional shitty b8 thread, but that's a necessary evil.

You're seriously clinically retarded if you believe that. No way. How can you think turning the board into /b/-lite is a "necessary evil"? Again, see my fucking pic, you shithead. It must look like a paradise to you, doesn't it? You sure love your "shitboxes" in contrast to your claim that people who care about the quality of the board are "hugboxers".

>The type of poster who calls for bans of things he dislikes has to grow the fuck up and learn to either ignore or counter opinions and contents he dislikes, instead of screaming "LE SHILL XDDDD" and calling for bans all the time.

Ignoring it won't make it go away. There will always be retards who reply to shitty threads and obvious b8, therefore mod intervention is a necessity. You can't solve the issue through self-moderation under this context. You're no longer dealing with a userbase of people interested in making good threads and contributing to discussions, you're dealing with a bunch of cuckchan immigrants who are terminally addicted to shitposting. But sure, this is all for "fun" and "free speech", right? Let's all shitpost like a bunch of mentally challenged /b/ retards until your brain starts to rot off for real due to so much garbage being accumulated inside it.

No, not really. Since the second exodus we've always hovered around 2700 - 3000 UIPs, about the same as now even after all 400 of you fucked off to your hugbox.

>the mods trying to claim the "serious discussions" were driving people away

Nobody ever claimed that, this is a ridiculous strawman. The claim is that everything except NatSoc-themed serious discussions were being driven away, even though /pol/ used to allow fun and serious discussion to coexist (and it used to not actively discourage non-NatSoc views)

>Neither do I. And I'm reluctant in taking your word for it because you sound like a shitposting faggot. Shitposters are always in the wrong.

So instead of judging his argument by its merit you label him a "shitposter" (which is just a buzzword)? The amount of shill paranoia has decreased back to first exodus levels now that you retards left the place, and I'm fucking glad of it. Maybe if you weren't so concerned aboyt silencing people you don't like, and more focused on actually spreading your ideas and setting an example for others, people wouldn't be so annoyed with you guys right now.

>Because we should totally care about the opinions of a bunch of faggots which have no relation to the board anyway, right? Do you also care about the image that /pol/ has to the outside world?

I'm surprised you can say things like this and not see how much of a hugboxing faggot it makes you appear to be. For some reason, you morons can't get it through your thick fucking skulls that people browse multiple boards: yes, there is a lot of overlap between /int/ and /pol/, and yes our sitewide image does affect the auantity of posters who will come to the board.

>Again, see my fucking pic, you shithead. It must look like a paradise to you, doesn't it?

Im seeing a few cherrypicked posts, that's about it. Do you think nobody should have the right to call you names or disagree with you on 8chan? Do you thonk that only threads you personally like should be allowed to stay up?

About 80% of the threads on /pol/ are similar to the type of threads we had with stricter moderation btw, so I don't even know why you're complainig. I guess you won't be happy until every single post is a NatSoc wall of text and everyone who steps out of line gets permabanned, is that it?

>Ignoring it won't make it go away

Too bad, you don't get to decide what other people post, as long as it's related to politics on some way. When people tell you to ignore what you don't like, the implication is that you don't have to like every single thread on /pol/. By barging into threads you don't like and sagebombing them you're acting like an entitled babby.

The userbase is pretty much the exact same as it was last week btw, minus the /polpol/ guys who left.

Regardless of whether or not this shit was about making /pol/ more 'fun' or encouraging 'debate', the result is that a metric assload of shitposters have come in and started turning the place into /b/ 2.0, with nothing about politics being discussed at all, and nothing is being done.

For instance, in the Brit/pol/ threads, every night since the volunteers started hotpocketing all over the place, there's been one autist imagespamming some albino russian freak that is his waifu. It has no relation to british politics or culture, in any primary, secondary or tertiary way, and was not prompted by any chain of thought present in the threads. It's quite literally just some guy dropping a massive deuce of '[albino russian] is love, [albino russian] is life' shitposting out of nowhere. We've told him to fuck off, and more than a few of us have reported his every post, but he is still there shitposting.

This isn't about stifling debate or becoming more 'fun', this is about volunteers not doing their jobs and bending over for shitposters. If they can't or won't even ban completely unrelated image spammers, then what the fuck do we even have mods for?
