Bringing the /new/ back to pol Anonymous ## Board Owner 04/07/15 (Tue) 08:26:56 f820f5 No. 9060
Hello, making this thread because I'd like to discuss an issue with the userbase here and garner your opinions on this. The issue I am talking about is news, current events, political developments etc. ones that pertain to /politics/ of course, but news nonetheless. I think most would agree that a synthesis of earnest political philosophy discourse with news and current event discussion is what made 4chan's /new/ and to a lesser extent early 4chan /pol/ so rewarding and engaging to browse and participate in. To put it in plain terms, a board that is dedicated to and facilitates the discussion of political science and philosophy alongside news and current events, ie. scrolling through its frontpage you might see a thread discussing Orwell's essay on nationalism, and below it a thread about recent developments in Yemen. I also think its something 8chan's /pol/, even when it was a viable substitute, always lacked, and the creation of /news+/ served only to magnify the imbalance between the two paradigms. Browsing /news+/ one will often see articles and developments that would facilitate relevant discussion on /pol/, but rarely are they brought to /pol/'s attention. To give an example, the recent "Reclaim Australia" protests in Australia; rallies held in major cities in Aus protesting the islamification of Australia. Significant for a number of reasons, in particular because Australia is awakening to the issue early, before many of its citizens have even experienced the kind of marxist institutional and political support for Islam that is so prevalent in EU. And yet there was nothing on 8ch /pol/(or here) about it, even 4chan's /pol/ had a lengthy discussion about the event and its ramifications. I think these sort of issues and topical discussions are an essential component in the lifeblood of a politics board, and I think we should encourage - not artificially of course - these types of threads here. The Ukraine and Syrian war threads on /polpol/ contain some of the best and informative discussion on the issues you'll find anywhere on the internet, and I would encourage all of you to go back into the catalog and check them out. I want to make it clear that this is not a mandate, or a call to users to contrive and artificially inflate news-esque rhetoric; think of it more as an awareness initiative, if you were under the impression that /news/ type politics wasn't welcome here, it is. We need it just as much as we need the political philosophising and cultural discussions. I'd like to reiterate that this isn't an appeal to flood the board with any tangentially related news article you can find, nor is it criticism of the state of the board either. So far I've seen a healthy amount of news and political/cultural discussions, the board is developing its own rhythm and pulse, and I have no doubt we will achieve the right balance of between the two. Please let me know your thoughts on this, and feel free to use this thread to discuss our developing board culture, elements from old /pol/ boards you once browsed that you would like to see here again, suggestions, meta criticisms etc. Thank you all again for your support of /polpol/ and our vision, I think the board is developing into something special and hopefully we can continue that.

As the board drama focused on /pol/ dies down, especially now /int/ is raiding /sp/ because they deleted one loli image or something. We will definitely see the front page move to more contemporary news discussion. It is already steadily increasing since the last couple of days.
Anonymous 04/07/15 (Tue) 09:36:16 9b5bea No. 9080
I usually browse 8chan for news, but I'll keep an eye out for relevant news elsewhere now. Also, as to board culture, I think it's great here, and I'm confident it'll grow in time, so you guys be ready to expand your Volunteer crew when it comes to that.

as someone who only just recently decided to even look at /polpol/ due to these recent events, I have to say I am very happy with how this board is moderated and how things are looking for the future in terms of how this board plans to progress. I can't say I will completely abandon 8/pol/ purely because of the nature of this recent drama being so sudden it will not cause all quality discussion I previously associated with 8/pol/ to be suddenly associated with /polpol/ (there were some very good threads discussing the nature and principles of nationalism on 8pol just yesterday despite all the faggoty /int/KC/whoever/ shitposting). I also think that despite trypt and the other /pol/vols being autistic anime tripfaggots that have proven themselves to be susceptible to even the most basic forms of social manipulation, they care to some extent about what the board is about and what it will become. doesn't stop them from being shit mods, but there's that flicker of humanity that reminds you that despite being shit people, they're still people. I am glad this place exists as an alternative should the situation over at 8/pol/ become any worse, and from the looks of things, it will. honestly, I'd be thinking the same way about 4/pol/ if moot hadn't done such a wonderful job of cutting /pol/ from 4chan and cauterising the wound by selling out to who the fuck even knows. jews? government? who cares. at very least with moot you knew what faggotry to expect. with no-one to tie the site to, there's no real sense of community there anymore. I personally think crossposting and the meeting of minds through these crossposts are what will keep 8chan as a successful and thriving board, simply because of the facts that territory lines are nowhere near as clearly drawn as they are in previous chans. 8chan is a spectrum of tastes, as opposed to almost every other chan's set menu. it means the userbase doesn't need to be as large for ideas to be carried throughout the site. don't know if it's what was what was intended by this thread, but those are my thoughts on /polpol/ and 8chan as a whole.
Anonymous 04/07/15 (Tue) 09:44:38 b930a2 No. 9083
The only thing I miss about 8/pol/ is the news. If we had a few more people digging for new political developments that would make me pretty happy. There are a few news threads, but not a whole lot.

Im an avid consumer of news and would be willing to do some weekly or bi-weekly threads on topical or regional news. Due to my work schedule I am not able to be more active on the board. I'm in the United States and have a strong grasp on that domestic policy and related economic factors, so I would be able to do a thread for that. I'm also well-versed with international relations but would probably need suggestions on thread topics. Please respond to this post if you have ideas. I still use both boards because I consume all the information I can, but it's become painfully obvious to me that quality discussion is gone forever from /pol/, and I applaud the board owner for having the initiate to reset in favor of bringing back intelligent debate. So I can also do some mirroring if there is a particularly good thread on that board.

As an aside would you be more likely to engage in discussion if the thread included an essay-prompt sort of question along with the news? I don't want them to just have the articles and then a few lines of text agreeing that (X) sucks. My goal here is to foster debate and discussion so we can draw intellectuals to the board.

>>9227 An "Is this degeneracy?" or similar topic starter, even with a legitimate news story, should be deleted without question.
If the topic has legitimacy, then the poster has a responsibility to invest some intellectual capital in creating a thread here.
Otherwise just take it to /pol/ or /b/.
Same with any post including porn. This isn't straight /pol/. Shit up that board if you want to be edgy with porn.

>>9220 I understand your concern, but we aren't a SFW board technically. Personally I agree with you and you
>>9235 and don't really think porn can really bring anything to the board, especially politically related, but I think self-moderation will work on that matter (and mostly the judgement of mods).
Like post mentioned
>>9201 obviously doesn't have malicious intents and even though the image doesn't bring anything to the discussion, I don't think it should really deserve a ban on a potentially good user, and I wouldn't want anyone to have their hands tied behind their back in case there happens to be nudity which actually is relevant, or a good post with nudity (sure we could also delete just file, but you get the point) and have to delete it to stick to our rules.
Also, I do agree that people not investing themselves in an OP shouldn't post, but we also have to be realistic towards that, sometimes some pretty bad OP end up making incredibly good threads by people who join it, or because OP wants to discuss in-depth, but without scaring away people with a huge wall of text as OP. Once again, I think leaving it to the judgement of mods and checking how the thread ends up (turns to shit or yields good convos) should dictate their move over some general imperative rule.
I think the more our mods act like humans and /pol/acks instead of bots applying a rule, the better the moderation will be. But thanks for the input, I agree overall with the points brought to light.

Owner, your concern right now should be the sudden influx of retards we'll soon get when they jump ship from /pol/. /polpol/ is steadily rising in the top boards and /pol/ is back below /v/. This looks like an extra slow version of what happened to /gamergate/. Once things have settled, I do agree current events should be covered on the board. Have to be careful and have people keep it to one thread per topic or else we'll get shit like when we had like 16 threads a minute about Ferguson. Also, if you haven't already, you might want to create a "meta" board for /polpol/.

I'd love for there to be more news and less social rage. Not that this board is in bad shape or anything, but 8/pol/ even before the shitpocalypse was low on news and high on social rage crap. So much so that they'd usually pin a good news thread. Across all of the /pol/s news and happening was always the most interesting (unfortunately I missed out on /new/, was on a sabbatical from chan sites during that era).

>>9138 This goes for me too. I like sharing news anyways, so might do a similar thing and make weekly or bi weekly threads too with news of my region and others that I catch throughout the week and days as I go. Probably a majority of legal news surrounding the Europe area, or just political ones of Spain or the EU. Depends, really, though i'll make a conscious effort to share things I find if relevant to this board.

>>9388 >>9394 Yeah, and this isn't some shit-tier /pol/ board. I know /pol/ has been shit for a while and that is what people that have been browsing for a while are used to, and the 4/pol/ community was literally splitted for a while, with shitposters shitposting amongst them, and some quality posters discussing amongst the spam and ignoring the shitters. I suggest what they said, lurk more and look a bit how people act on this board, and also learn from what it wants to dissociate itself from, aka unopinionated one-liners and related emotional baiters.
Idk if written rules would REALLY help that much as people would mostly just apply what they're used to anyways, there isn't better guideline than looking at the banlist + threads, especially those that reached bump limit (check down on catalog) to know what is expected of users here.
Also, do remember that /int/ still regularly posts on here, so mods might be quite quick on the banhammer to prevent any big sliding.

Thought this point should be highlighted in a thread, as it's not too prominent on the board now. fullchan4jtta4sx.onion/baphomet/res/77143.html Baph are onto the whole raiding and drama on 8chan recently, and think it's SA/Goons who've astorturfd many of our boards and leveraged them against one another. Looking into it, it's really exactly the stuff out of the NSA Cyber-magician slides. Classic tactics. It all seemed confusing and there lots of apparent polarities (rules vs. no rules, board vs. board). But I think the common theme has just been an attempt to rip up the site. The pol community (I say pol so as not to designate whatever board people are now using) has taken a lot of damage. Maybe a common enemy like this is what we need.

>>11124 I am very able to read, this was during the Maidan protests, they were fighting against the old Yanukovich Government, for Porkoshenko. Look at the date before commenting, and pic was quite irrelevant, Russia is fighting the unipolar world that is pushed by the ZOG-USA, and this board has a small tendency to be more pro-Russia (opinion don't shit on me please) because any pro-Russian speak was totally censored back on /pol/ a couple of months ago (by some shills, not by mods), and a couple migrated down here.
I would say that the main reason simply is the fact that people that were here in the early days of the board made the banners in the banner thread, and since a good part of them were pro-Russia (really no reason to be pro-Ukraine anyways), they simply made the banners with their political ideology, and that's that.
I still believe Putin is a pretty based leader even with chans blocked, one might (rightfully) argue that it promotes degeneracy over all else, especially when you look at what most boards look like.

>>11172 I didn't say that either, but IDF veterans, just like if they were USA veterans or veterans for any army worldwide pretty much are considered native or culturally closest to the country they actively fought for, just like veteran russian soldiers that decided to go help the rebels in their fight back in Eastern Ukraine, they are Russian in mind and spirit. I mean sure they were born in Ukraine, just like most Russian vets were born in Donetsk amongst other cities, but the moment they decided to fight for another country's armed forces, you can guess what kind of family values/traditions they lived in, and it sure as hell wasn't primarily their country's.
ANYHOW, it wasn't even about the picture nor about Jews in Ukraine, I only posted one of the first pics in my folder related to Ukraine. Besides, I am not the one to always blame Jews for anything and everything, neither did I talk about rubbing shekels, nor implied that Jews were behind anything, so let's keep on track there.
>>11144 No, you got reasons why people that merged here a couple months ago were mostly Putin supporters for various reasons (ask them in Ukraine threads or read the first one), and they also happened to be the people that participated in the banner thread, so 1+1=now. Then you shifted the conversation towards Jews and/or weird Putin allegations, hence why I didn't feel like it was worth answering.
>>11175 >>11178 I agree, feel free to post any relevant news story man, sure as hell won't be frowned upon to get new content.
>PIC UNRELATED, but funny, this is what Ukraine showed when Donetsk was getting shelled during a ceasefire, trying to explain how they were actually shelling themselves and it wasn't the UAF shelling them. It aired on national TV MSM, in Western Ukraine, it's one of the many reasons they cannot be trusted, they are going hard on propaganda.

Please check out my appeal or respond to me in this thread. I would like to at least know what the heck did I get banned for. PS Don't interpret this as ban evading, please. I'm not going to make any more posts under this proxy.

Anyway, thanks for unbanning me. I knew I could put my trust on the mods of this place at least.

I strongly suspect that another board was bumped too slide polpol off the top 25 once it was near the bottom.

Just keep deleting the bullshit, and this board will live.
Anyone with any common sense will have already bookmarked the board long, long ago.
Don't underestimate the shillery. Whatever it takes to dillute, distort, and destroy free speech. They will spam shit boards into the top 100 above a board of true information if that is what it takes.
8chan is literally their worst fucking nightmare.
Ever.

I should add that I think /polpol/ has already effectively failed in deleting shit posts though.
Music threads, humor threads, original content without any real topic threads. These are all just cake icing slide content. Empty carbohydrates.
The hard core /pol/ board has yet to truly emerge from this maelstrom of bullshit. But I look forward to its inevitable birth.

/vvv/ and /wx/ as of this writing is near the bottom. I can't think of anything interesting too discuss at the moment cause I gotta go soon but now is a good time.

Although it isn't perfect, it's a lot fucking better to have some genuine funposting than the /int/ variant.

You are asking for something that has never existed before and you don't ask the question why has it never existed before?
A place like stormfront has something you speak of on some sub forums but also so much moderation that you constantly have to moderate your own speech if you don't want to also constantly find ways around bans.
Light humor is fine when it isn't ironically saying antiwhite propaganda in every thread. Some people might take it unironically and come to the conclusions you come to unironically.

>To give an example, the recent "Reclaim Australia" protests in Australia; rallies held in major cities in Aus protesting the islamification of Australia. Significant for a number of reasons, in particular because Australia is awakening to the issue early, before many of its citizens have even experienced the kind of marxist institutional and political support for Islam that is so prevalent in EU.
>And yet there was nothing on 8ch /pol/(or here) about it, even 4chan's /pol/ had a lengthy discussion about the event and its ramifications.
There was a bit of discussion on 8ch's /pol/, I was there, I even AT MY OWN LOCAL EVENT. But yea, the amount of discussion, for the size of the event, was pretty abysmal. The turnout was pretty big, media coverage pretty large but all threads just died and got slid.

We had a sticky on /aus/ and there was a decent amount of discussion. The overall amount of discussion on /pol/ though was, as you said, quite poor.

Let's face it, this board is slowing down and it's no longer even on the first page of results from the board list. We have to start the dubious process of trying to recruit people on other boards without grabbing too many retards in the process.

Oh, you mean those Israeli controlled false-flagging cunts like Geert Wilders?
It's fairly exciting right now but I'm sure we'll end up disappointed with the final result.
