/polpol/ - Politically Incorrect Discussion

/int/ happened

>>13541

Why did the mods become so lenient for shitposting? Is there any guarantee this won't happen again on /polpol/? (Without removing good discussion.)

>>13542

>Why did the mods become so lenient for shitposting?

They are bad mods, they caved. The internet is srs bsns for them, and nothing more.

>Is there any guarantee this won't happen again on /polpol/?

No.

>>13544

Why not?

They banned a UIDF shill the other day, on one of the Ukraine threads.

It restored a bit of hope for me.

>>13550

Wish they could ban /int/ cancer, and restore /pol/ to how it was. Or stop moderating all together - now anyone can go to /pol/ and spam the same dumb opinions trying to disrupt people having a discussion. Even brony, anime threads are allowed, the mods could atleast give a statement of some sort

>>13545

This.

EXCEPT:

That shill digging thread was NOT unpinned.

I was in it early this morning.

/pol/'s catalog has a thread that was bumped 3AM wed.

If the thread had simply been unpinned, it obviously would have been at bump limit, but would have taken 31 hours to drop to the bottom of the board at /pol/'s current speed.

Hot-fucking-pockets, niggers.

I see a startling lack of stickies on the archive thread in /pol/ right now. And the last sticky is gone so it was probably slid too oblivion.

Wait hold on you mean it was deleted?

>>13561

Yeah, sliding only gets shit off the first page usually. You need a MASSIVE slide you get something off the board entirely.

If you go to /pol/, the oldest thread was bumped (now) 35 hours ago (these things vary).

That means that the thread was NOT unpinned and slid this morning, but rather that it was deleted without warning.

>>13558

>le anime face.jpg

Also, nothing you just said makes sense.

Luckily I found it was archived shortly before deletion, the fact it was deleted is a significant red flag. Gonna dig for some other stuff that was conveniently not added too pol's archive thread too while I'm at it.

JIDF found it, /int/ are asspained autists, mods are dead, etc

>>13548

>and owner is never around to clear things up.

This seems to be the root of the problem right here.

Isn't there a method to change ownership of a board ?

>>13549

>don't want to give up their positions

This is what i don't get it, what's even the point ?

Its not like they gain any money or prestige from it.

Apparently it was unstickied, fact that it wasn't added too archive or had a warning is a bit suspicious.

>>1812814

This Anon might has an explanation, so it is a lapse of moderation that is being taken advantage of.

>>1813130

And finally the Mods are compromised because of the irc circle jerk, they want too be cool amongst their peers.

FUCK OFF

>>13569

Yeah, it's hard to excited about such a low-prestige, doing it for free job, so you end up with either people who do a good job, are underappreciated and get tired of doing it, or you end up with shitty power tripping janitors who deliberately seek out the position in order to e-celib themselves by antagonizing others.

You get what you pay for.

>>13617

>You get what you pay for.

Capitalist please go.

A vol went into the pinned shill-dig thread and said, once again, that there are no shills except for the people that want to ban shitposters.

So yes, the people that want to ban shitposters are now shills, and are trying to destroy /pol/

I really can't fucking handle that board any longer, holy shit. It makes no sense that they would sticky the things they do, then come in and say either "shills aren't real" or "people concerned about shills are the shills themselves".

I don't understand how the userbase can deal with the nonsense? Or are there even any genuine users, am I a dupe?

I was cautious (and hopeful), but that schizophrenia was deliberate. It's datamining, they're studying the opposition. Waiting for more solid sources but right now i'm out, lurk only except in happening threads beyond Shills and sticking too GG and here.

Assume Shillgate in it's entirety (including the board) is a honeypot.

>>13734

I also think it's a honeypot, but stillworth digging into. The FH link is real, even if FH is just part of the honeypot. I really think this is somehow related to GamerGate as well

And imagine how much data they've collected from GG if that was a study from the beginning? DARPA is very interested in how information spreads, and gamers are a good target. The just had to gamify digging.

Two dumb cunts named Zoe as bait

It's kind of interesting that a few nights ago the vol unpins the dig thread suddenly, and at the same time hotwheels nukes /b/

Today the pinned thread blows up with shillery, the vol says there are no shills, and at the same time hotwheels renames news+ into /n/ and puts it in both the top 25 and pinned on the left

>>13731

It's mostly /int/ imo, the fags from there are dedicated shitposters and some of the best trolls I ever seen (might be using proxies as well - what's stopping them considering that they put enough effort to shit out two pages of text just to troll). Also there are some genuine /pol/acks left that choose to ignore the whole thing I suppose

>>13739

I strongly distrust the moderation team, and I'm not convinced they aren't up to something bigger, studying communities or something. Yes, most of the /int/ people are regular shitposters. Useful idiots

Every explanation from the volunteers sounds like bullshit. For whatever reason they need to mix two communities, one of which is disruptive to the other.

One last point. Shitposting has to be passe if bots can be unleashed on the board. They would stand out too much otherwise. I don't think there are bots posting on 8/pol/ but there certainly are on 4/pol/. I'm sure whomever runs those bots would love to send some here

Do we have a list of mods from /pol/? Would be useful to know who we are dealing with

>>13743

There's no way to even know if any of the names correspond with a single person. I honestly doubt it. I imagine a few people running the board switching personalities at will.

I really really don't buy this story that board owner is always gone and the team is split. I'm telling you now, that's very convenient for manipulation.

When a vol says they are "tryptamine" there's no way for you to know that's true. They could all be sockpuppets

>>13744

That's some tricky shit

>>13745

Think about it, board owner is never around. But the vols are, and they act split. I really suspect those vols are puppets of board owner, and the whole story prevents criticism of board ownership as he manipulates things. It's gone on long enough

>>13747

When did this start?

>>13748

Most would say April 1st when the vols allowed an /int/ raid.

TBH I was reporting shitposts on a daily basis and they stopped deleting them by March 1st. When I would call them out, they would say "report and we'll delete" but they wouldn't actually delete any of them.

You could tell when a raider was there because suddenly new threads would start being created every minute, all template posts similar to bot threads on 4chan. These would not get deleted even though the rate/pattern alone indicated something was wrong

>>13749

That was very informative, thanks m8

>>13751

The transition was made possible by the "split", and owner being supposedly not around. Always being told to wait until owner is back, and it will be clarified one way or the other. But, almost a month later, still no real clarification. They are hoping people just get used to the new way and they never have to address it properly

A month later and board owner still can't straighten out his team and get rid of one of the factions?? Not believable

This shit might not be solved if the whole moderation team has gone rogue and hotwheels doesn't do anything

Looks like hw took /n/ out of the top 25, at least

/int/ fucking /pol/ over so hard right now, it's hilarious.

>>13738

Hotwheels wanted /news+/ too be the new pol right?

Is Hotwheels taking advantage of the situation too get what he wanted (news being the /news+/ pol) cause if this is happening because of a petty grudge that's just "great".

>>13773

He certainly isn't letting his incredibly selective Libertarian ideal and his petty grudges get in the way of mass interboard raiding and destruction.

They're doing their stupid sockpuppet back and forth on the shillgate thread right now

>vol1: It was you that started this!

>Vol2: It wasn't me! Maybe it was another vol3?

I'm sure they'll come to some solution that satisfies most users and we repeat this all over again in another 25 days

>>13767

/int/ needs to be nuked

>>13743

The thing is, we only had, at most, 3 or 4 guys moderating. Mostly, it was one. So the list is gonna be short.

Afaik,

>Nacht

>Tryptamine

>F is for Faggits (sp?)

These are the vols. F will be the new BO, apparently, being the first vol the old BO ever accepted.

And some guy named "doors" or something is/was the BO.

There really isn't much more and I'm not really sure I wrote the names right.

I think we're actually being raided by a combination of /int/ and SRS ( they created the factual falcon meme, god knows why faggot mods placed it in the sticky )

It doesn't even feel like /pol/ is falling for it. Just there are so many /int/ faggots spamming their shitposts.

They are on /v/ now

https://8ch.net/v/res/3416263.html

>>13816

I don't think their strategy is to bait people into replying to them, that's just a bonus. The strategy is to flood the board with shitty threads and posts until people get tired of wading through the shit and leave.

>>13849

that thread is really weird, suddenly a few unique ID's start making nonsense posts with anime pictures and as suddenly as they appeared they disappeared, like they are a unit. I bet they all decided to shift to another thread elsewhere on the site.

>>13821

WTF

>>13881

I know m8, it's bizzare.

Could be some very pissed off SJW or some jew shilling company.

>>13894

I'm not 100% sure it's a bot, could be a drugged up baph-hole or somebody intentionally trying to look like a bot.

Mods on /pol/ no longer delete anything, so /int/ or whatever can pretend to be a bot and the comment will sit there inflaming things.

It could be a real bot but it's just as likely some other kind of trolling IMO. Give it another few months of this light moderation and the bots from 4chan will probably be re-jiggered to post on 8/pol/ too though

>>13540

Libertarians mod the board. Can't identify the enemy from within.

>>13909

Rrrright…

Mods facilitated the raid, went above and beyond what they wanted because the whole shillgate/dig thread thing (I'm reasonably sure a third party taking advantage of the situation) caused a massive spike in paranoia which enticed /int/ too do another raid causing the paranoia bubble too pop.

Either way I'll judge the new BO based on his actions.

Apparently, there is no new BO.

Old passwords still work, leading to old mods still answering questions as mods, even if they resigned.

>>>/polmeta/7657

Also, there is at least one thread on /pol/ asking for the new mod to show himself, to no effect.

>>>/pol/1847454

>>13922

I'd give it a bit more time, if they didin't resign It's best to ask HotWheels to do something, if he hasn't become a total faggot yet.

>>13924

>ask HotWheels to do something, if he hasn't become a total faggot yet

Even ignoring the raid, did you miss >>>/n/?

That crippled piece of shit has made a sick parody of /n/, overrun with people too far-left (and bluepilled) for /leftypol/ who cry about stormfags, "redpillers" and horseshoe "theory" because he is massively butthurt over being hated everywhere he tries to "enrich", from 4chon to 8/pol/.

>>13928

>Fuck off

You're one dumb newfag if you thought I was endorsing that.

>>13929

Fuck off and never come back faggot.

>>13930

>everyone I disagree with is a shill

Go back to /pol/, you fucking cuck. Hotwheels killed /pol/, killed /new/, made a mockery of /n/ and is killing this board.

Fuck off, and lurk moar, cancer.

>>13934

>defending copypaste

>by calling others a kike

You got here in the last fortnight, straight out of 4/pol/, didn't you?

>>13935

>>13932

Trying hard today? :^)

So,tl;dr: 8ch.net is apparently compromised completely.

But why the whole interboard raid shit? Was it always close to exploding and it's all coincidence? Why would HW kill his own site (well, "kill" more or less, shitposters will stay here for a while, I guess).

>>13937

I'm starting to think it's the JIDF, they're pretty good at trying to fool the mods.They are trying to pick up our chan culture and lingo. They learn pretty fast too. It looks like some third party raiding the whole site - on /pol/,/polpol/,/v/,/polmeta/, and even here. Fucking kikes.

>>13936

>got your last post deleted

>ironic shitposting

>thinking shills use tor

You're really trying to get b&, aren't you?

>>13937

>Why would HW kill his own site

Very selective interpretation of Libertarianism, no different than Ben Garrison or /liberty/. Cripplekike thinks shitposting is free speech, and that people who leave when their board turns into a garbage dump want a hugbox.

There's also an ongoing feud between the global mods, who also run Krautchan, and whoever's manipulating /int/'s shitposters.

>>13941

>dat pre-generated text

FUCK. OFF.

>>13942

Now I'm a bot? Holy shit nigger, this is embarrassing.
