Good Lord, this rulefaggot autism is what /pol/ has degenerated into.

"You could have prevented this" indeed.

Trypt did nothing wrong.

I don't see how that thread was politics related

maybe someone can enlighten me though

Problem is that he b& fucking everyone in that thread. The fact he stickied it shows how much of a sperg he is also.

/pol/ would really be better off had it become a global board owned by the cripplekike.

They stickied the thread about the flamboyant musclefag who's slapping /pol/lack booty in a hypothethical situation,

so the massbanning was like setting an exemple.

I guess its the same with the other shill thread were they cracked down on users (pic related) I wonder if they wanna intimidate users into never replying to baitthreads (albeit this one could have sparked a somewhat legit debate about selfdefense) or think that the boardquality will go up if all the fun and baitposters get weeded out by totalitarian massbans.

I dunnoh.

On the one hand ppl will complain about this being over the top and killing the amusing aspect of /pol/ on the other hand the mods are now doing what anons here were begging them to do for a longer time because they feared us going down the ways of 4cuck quality wise, which is also a legit concern.

Moderation for quality hardly ever works.

More often that not you either ban or drive away many of the good people under such scenarios.

Mods will think

> us going down the ways of 4cuck

modfaggotry is really one of the reasons why 4chan went to shit.

Mods came along trying to make the board into something that they wanted it to be , rather then leeaving an established community to its won devices.

This was a problem on /tg/ back in 2010 , and signaled the begging of the end for /tg/'s golden age

This thread was nothing but a thinly veiled copypasta shitpost. 8chan has a board for random shitpost nonsense and copypasta threads. Its /b/, not /pol/. If autists want to shitpost and "have fun" posting the same retarded shit over and over, do it on the random board not the politics board.

Good job mods, dont listen to the muh hotpockets faggots. That thread was garbage and anyone dumb enough to bump it deserved their ban.

Keep in mind you're not talking to people like me or yourself, who came to 8chan in September last year and who were tired of 4chan's authoritarian moderation. These are not the people who participated in that first 8/pol/ strawpoll where it was determined the overwhelming majority of the userbase supported light, hands-off moderation, and who posted with us in the /pol/ Touhou threads back in 2014 (along with the old board vols and even the owner).

These are people who were perfectly fine with having the SJW hotpocket cock rammed into their boipussies until j00tles nuked their board and virtually forced them out: they are decemberfags, second-wavers, newshits who only recently found out about imageboards while browsing stormfront/reddit/facebook. They love rules and honestly believe shitposting on anime imageboards is serious business.

Ironically, the events which transpired in December and January are strikingly similar to what is happening throughout the western world as we speak: hordes of immigrants flooding the country with the aggressive intent not to integrate and assimilate, but to take over and to enforce their own ideas and values within the new homeland. Most of the old /pol/ users who made the board good in the past scattered and left for different places free of rulefaggotry, stormcuck circlejerking, and unironic shill calling. They migrated to the smaller /pol/ splinters, or to /int/, or even returned to 4chan. The second exodus first drove the post quality down to abysmal lows, and then turned the moderation into a right-wing reflection of 4chan's and reddit's leftist authoritarianism when the old mods resigned. The /pol/ we once knew and enjoyed is dead.

Still, performing an autopsy of the corpse is important; our posterity shall profit from the knowledge we have gained.

>the post quality is down to abysmal lows

Spamming old copypasta threads, like the one in question here,

>x slaps y's ass, what do you do? Lol XDDD pic related

Is garbage. Its just plain shitposting. /b/ has always been the shitposting containment board both here and on cuckchan. If you just want to shitpost do it there, no body will care. But that will defeat the whole point since you're just trolling to piss people off and shitposting on /b/ wont get you the attention you so desperately crave.

>completely random non-related nonsense

Boards like /tg/ and /sp/ back in 4chan before modfaggotry became rampant had off topic shit. The best boards were not a place for people to be railroaded into the state topic , but people who liked the stated topic to talk to eachother. Its why boards like /tg/ and /sp/ were the best , and why they were ruined when an idoit gained controll of /tg/ in 2010 and banned anything that wasn't 40k , MtG , or D&D for not being "/tg/ enough". No Homebrew even for the approved topics, no other card games , no other broad games ect.

If the the powers at be on 8/pol/ today ran 4/pol/ in the past , the board wouldn't have achieved as much as it did nor would it have been as influential.

>abysmal lows

the post quality is at a low because damn near everyone who ; didn't treat the board as 100% srs bsns , was fairly creative , or had the gall to have a dissenting opinion got banned early on in the year.

Prior to that we didn't need any mods , and more over trying to moderate for "quality" almost never works on *chans , if the stated goal is trying to promote quality.

It just drains the vigor out of the board , and mass bans ofor posting pasta/b8 only indicate that the mods are pathetic lolcow tier egotists who can't deal with some one challenging their ephemeral internet powers.

> just trolling

If you're so concerned about people getting a laugh by trying misleading people and want the mods to babysit a bunch of people, then chans aren't for you.

The irony is the more people who tend to treat imageboards 100% srs business are likely to attract more shit stirring users since they get angry easily. I remember when moot brought back /n/ and /new/ as /pol/, where self moderation was encouraged which created a relaxed atmosphere. The discussion was great too, economic threads, communist/libertarian debate threads, etc. Until VNN or some offshoot Nationalist forum started to sway the board. Then the racemixing cuckold threads started popping up because people would bite due to Nationalists labeling any dissenter "JIDF". History repeats itself, i saw this happen on 4chon.net too, now it's happening on this site.

Explain how the old copypasta thread of

>x comes up and slaps y on the ass. What do?

Has anything to do with politics, current events or news. Its just blatent shit stirring.

And the short bans handed out to the people responding sans sage are the mods trying to get people to self moderate like you were just bitching about.

Some bans/threadlocks may be biased or overkill but this particular thread was absolutely stale worthless garbage and deserved to be held up and made an example of.

This, you can't moderate board quality in, it has to come from the userbase. Essentially you need self-moderation, the minute that goes, the board begins it's decline

Exactly. Some faggot is out there laughing his ass off that his shit thread got stickied and "made an example out of". I'm sure the /intl/ shitters are loving the attention.

Dumbass mods are just giving these shitposters what they want when they sperg out and do creative crap like this or customizing every ban reason.


b4c688 No.9605

>>9596

When the post quality started to drop at the beginning of the year the solution shouldn't have been to ban anyone outside of illegal shit or spam.

For as bad as it is to have a board that's low quality , its even worse to have a board that is low quality and has horrendous moderation.

A low quality board that is fairly free can still at least come up with a gem or do something notable every now and then , with heavy moderation that's even harder because no one is going to put their time into a board , that at the end of the day they might get banned for offending the mods' arbitrary sense of quality.

it is the job o the userbase to decide what and what isn't a good thread and just ignore the bad.

It should also be noted that sagebombing is cancerous /v/edditor shit and that only retarded newfags use sage as a downvote.

I never in my life understood how people get so triggered by threads they dislike in the first place. I browsed /pol/ for years and I never reported or "downvoted" a thread. I simply used the catalog and ignored any thread I wasn't interested in. It really can be that simple. Not for some posters though, apparently.


b4c688 No.9610

>>9609

also sage is supposed to be used primarily for when you think your post is neither relevant or good.

And I've only seen that in a few places in recent years.

I remember some people understood this and sometimes posted with a "polite sage" on pre-december 8/pol/.

They were completely drowned out by the insufferable stormniggers after the 2nd exodus, of course.


d909e7 No.9613

Switch to >>>/politics/ ./pol/ is beyond saving. The BO is definitely one of the autistic mods or at least have no problem with their autism.


721979 No.9622

Apparently Impkampfy wants sage to be literally le downvote and if you don't automatically know what to le downvote get your le ban. I hope your always thinking about what your amazing mod might thinks about your post before posting anons!:^) You wouldn't want to get slapped on the wrist with a ruler do you. Kampfy is Comfy being a bitch.

The fuck are you on about? /pol/ was inferior to /new/ when it was brought back because /b/-tards spammed it endlessly with flamebait to "fuck with le racist stormfags XD" and "it's le containment board, anything goes DUDE WHY ARE CUMSKINS THE DEVIL LMAO"
