/v/ - Video Games

>ResetEra'

What sort of gay does this come to the mind of at any point in the day?

>>14563863

sure they delete less posts per capita than these mods

>>14563843

try being less of a faggot

>>14563876

>hiding behind vague bullshit like posts per capita

So what shill thread of yours did they delete?

>>14563880

none, but they seem to have a bone for just randomly deleting threads for no reason

Which threads got deleted and shouldn't have been? Why are you not being specific? Are you just here to shitpost?

Maybe you should go back to that other site you mentioned.

>>14563898

a couple asking opinions on games, on was low effort bait but so what.

a few discussing people in the industry.

a few discussion some politics in the industry. Everything was video game related and got banned for some made up rule violation or whatever.

>>14563911

>on was low effort bait but so what.

So you're a faggot who doesn't belong here. Please leave. Don't even reply, just go. You'll be happier.

>Been seeing shit threads lately

>Shit games, console wars bullshit, template threads, baiting and low effort shit

>On almost all of them, the OP was a whinny bitch replying to shitposters, derailing the thread by his own hands

<And now this appears

Where are you faggots coming from?

These threads haven't been here ever, so don't come up with that pity attitude.

It's you that should go back to the hole you crawled up from.

>>14563938

I just want quality threads, and don't mind a rabibit trail or two on a thread, as long as it does not derail the whole thread, but it seems like the moment someone discusses something a bit off topic, but kinda related, a 404 appears.

>>14563958

>I just want quality threads

>>14563911

>on was low effort bait but so what

>>14563960

This

Fucking get back to cuckchan already

>>14563966

Come back when you've got a baseline to compare it to.

>>14563975

Define baseline in this context. I got all this by scrubbing the board log.

>>14563975

>>14563878

>>14563898

>>14563929

>>14563938

never knew Mark and Mods had such a strong, delusional fanbase.

>>14563966

Yeah, not that we were raided by leftycucks and vgretards (and still are a bit).

And (((suddendly))) appears a random anon with an static that, (((coincidentally))) reflects only the month that the raid was heavy.

Fucking slimy fuckers, you're organized, aren't you. We're lucky you're stupid enough to be so evident.

>>14563983

Scrub the log of another board, and compare posting activity vs bans. Something, anything more concrete than an arbitrary declaration that X number of bans/deletions is "extreme".

>>14563992

>you're organized, aren't you

It's probably diskikery. It's ALWAYS diskikery. Only thing I've ever seen that's more cancerous than IRC.

>>14563843

Fuck off, Mark.

>>14563996

What about plotting the average per month since the beginning? It'd be interesting, even before interpretation.

>>14563987

There's a lot wrong with the moderation team and mark, but you're a whole different type of faggot.

>>14564002

Of course it is, and my money is on leftycuck trying to do the same shit they did with cuckchan:

Try to infiltrate into mod positions on other boards and then, when they have power, force their agenda.

Never, ever here i've seen a so blatant attack against mods and mark.

The thing is the criticists in the past never said nothing about "step down", and since these two last months or so, every fucking post against them is about bringing them down.

They are plotting roaches.

>>14564017

> all that's left are /b/ and /pol/

What, in terms of traffic? Where are all the anons who contributed to the small boards?

>>14564017

If you look at Feb and March, you see a trend (limited sample, sure) that shows Mark, Pewter, and cobalt have the most bans and post deletions. It's probably the same for all previous months.

>>14563966

>for March to date

>this language

>it's almost April

>swamped with low effort trash all month on top of endless meta threads

Nah. This shit is weaker than a year or two ago.

>>14564031

not saying step down, just to be less delete happy and iron fisted.

also be clear on why a thread was deleted, and update the rules. right now it seems like some threads are delered for violating rules that don't exist

>>14564032

Yes, traffic. The traffic of the smaller boards is far too low to have a comparison. It would be like arguing that white people commit more crime than black people. While true, it's missing a key data element of proportion. Likewise, we don't have a user activity log to be able to toss in with these metrics.

>>14564007

I am doing that sometime from today to this weekend. I have made some pie charts in the past but I am upgrading to line graphs.

>>14564066

Maybe there is more garbage to be removed, ever thought about that?

>>14564066

>high activity is proof of wrongdoing

Pathetic. Get together with your friends and come back with better arguments.

>>14564066

Could be. Could also be fuckchan fuckers fucking our fucks up.

They're not even charting reasons for deletion or banning, it's a fluke op. These faggots and statistics just don't mix.

>>14563966

>Looks rather ridiculous to moderate to such an extreme.

We're the top board on the site. /v/ catches a massive amount of derails, spam, and completely off topic shitposting.

>>14564096

*not to mention raids from other boards or other sites

>>14564066

>1017

Clearly too many anti-nintendo threads

>>14564031

This is true. They started doing this some time ago on /sudo/, making multiple threads asking "the administration of the site" do remove /pol/ BO and later /v/ BO, and recently those types of threads have been made on /v/.

>>14564128

Nigger, this D&C shit was happening before /pol/ drug their asses over here.

>>14564151

When you people realize this place is terminally fucked?

>>14563843

Reported.

The board is no place for faggots from cucked era.

>>14564161

reddit

:^)

>>14564128

As long as I can still draw video game porn unhindered I'm alright.

>>14564161

>not just leaving the internet

>>14564176

seems like the number deletions wpuld be about the same!

>>14564161

Great to see people can see this shilling too.

Always the same m.o, pretty sure they are following a propaganda booklet or something.

>(1) anon appears and shits on mods

Petty

>>14563898

Whelp I remember Cobalt deleting the Dark messiah thread last week. Cocksucker.

>>14564266

Why is Dark Messiah banned now?

>>14564266

What was the reason?

>>14564199

>>14564161

It's a standard mewch tactic, they did this to /b/ for months to demoralise it. If you're on at the right time of night they actually directly shill their site but only when it's quiet I guess they think mods are asleep then.

>>14564266

Post proof faggot.

>>14564298

There was no ban he just straight up deleted the thread.

>>14564301

I don't know Mark said he talked to him but nobody has made another Dark Messiah thread since so who knows.

>>14564265

(You)

>>14564332

I guess I can sort of see how it might have looked like bait.

>>14564332

No wait that's the wrong boardlog cap, I'll go cap it again.

>>14564350

Sup, gayboy? You shillin hard or hardly shillin?

>>14564354

I don't understand what you mean.

>>14564359

Well still worrying. Like I said from a certain angle I guess it looked like bait but I think OP just needed to word himself better. That thread in 2014 or even 2015 wouldn't have caused a shitfest but nowadays fags are gonna leap on any mention of Japan or Western in an OP.

>>14564332

I can't imagine what was in that spoiler to warrant the ban.

Instead of mods going on deleting sprees, they just need to remind users that they can hide any threads or users they don't want to see.

>>14564370

Maybe he admitted to picking Leanna.

>>14564066

>>14564017

>>14563966

More than anything, that shows /v/ has too few active vols. Ignoring the globals, there's what, 10 of them? And half are barely active. The problem isn't the number of moderation activities, it's that four individuals are responsible for dictating what /v/ looks like, with 82-92% of the deletions in those logs. And Mark by far is the largest contributor, with 41-51% of all deletions. This is a problem whether you like him or not, due to the lack of accountability for board owners. What those logs should look like is the opposite of what they do: 25 or so /v/ staff sharing the burden almost equally, with a minority of direct action from the BO.

As a large board, /v/ needs heavy moderation at times. The problem is, I have no faith in the team responsible for carrying that out, so it would be better if they didn't moderate at all outside the global rule.

>>14564484

someone finally making a fair point, of there were more mods and accountability I think we would see less meaningless deletions and bans. so far Mark is the dictator of the board

>>14564484

>The problem is, I have no faith in the team responsible for carrying that out, so it would be better if they didn't moderate at all outside the global rule.

Sneaky "we need to replace the hotpockets".

>>14564332

Yeah, that thread shouldn't have been deleted.

>>14564566

What's wrong with you that you don't just observe the catalog. Only time I've been hit with shrapnel were in a few shit threads that turned into roll threads. Like your janitors don't even look at the thread in question first. Or, you don't trial long enough.

>>14564566

Was not expecting a reply.

>>14564599

>>14564566

Also I can understand why it was deleted because it does sort-kinda look baity. I just don't want /v/ to end up with a de facto 'no mentioning Japan in OPs' rule.

Most what I have witnessed. Those in control are still sensitive about ROB fucking off. You let that happen. You let all the loudest asinine faggots take over. Instead of remembering how much it made everything feel like home. ROB threads weren't ruined by politics. It was ruined by faggots that their only objective is to work everyone against eachother. What makes that individual?

anybody play end space yet? I just compulsivly bought it and am about to jump in. pray for my neck.

>>14564365

>>14564359

That’s exactly what it was. It looked like bait. I should have triple checked the end of the topic, though, because when I closed the tab about ten minutes after deletion, it looked like there was some kind of discussion happening.

It was an honest mistake, and I’ll do better in the future.

>>14564621

>>14564623

Fair enough if it was an honest mistake. If in doubt in future bumplock it first off is my advice then you can check through it and decide.

>>14564566

Lemme suck ya fat girly tits

{
	return ModActivityType.DeletePost;

Another thing I'm doing is converting GMT to local time, so there may be some slight variance at in the numbers since the end of my month occurs four hours later than GMT, but that doesn't account for the disparity between my numbers and yours.

>>14564820

SELECT 
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM board_log WHERE log_datetime LIKE "2018-03%" AND log_username = 'cobalt' AND log_action LIKE "Deleted%") as cobalt_deletes_in_march, 
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM board_log WHERE log_datetime LIKE "2018-03%" AND log_username = 'cobalt' AND log_action LIKE "Created%ban on /v/%") as cobalt_bans_in_march,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM board_log WHERE log_datetime LIKE "2018-03%" AND log_username = 'Mark' AND log_action LIKE "Deleted%") as mark_deletes_in_march, 
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM board_log WHERE log_datetime LIKE "2018-03%" AND log_username = 'Mark' AND log_action LIKE "Created%ban on /v/%") as mark_bans_in_march,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM board_log WHERE log_datetime LIKE "2018-03%" AND log_username = 'Pewter' AND log_action LIKE "Deleted%") as pewter_deletes_in_march, 
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM board_log WHERE log_datetime LIKE "2018-03%" AND log_username = 'Pewter' AND log_action LIKE "Created%ban on /v/%") as pewter_bans_in_march;

Fix your shit.

>>14564941

>I am also scrubbing these from the board log, so there's some discrepancy between the web version and what's in the database.

I meant to say "so MAYBE there's some discrepancy"

>>14564941

Mind exporting the desc column to a pastebin or something?

>>14564979

https://pastebin.com/AU6Rkng7

Tried doing the whole flat file, but Pastebin only supports 512k unless I go PRO. Can do the whole thing if you know of another site I can put it in.

>>14564991

Alright, the problem is on my side. It seems 8chan either logs the same action twice some times or two different actions can be logged with the same timestamp if done quickly. I was fetching the board log and stopping on finding a duplicate so recent entries could be missing. I'll have to figure out a different method of fetching the log automatically.

>>14565033

>It seems 8chan either logs the same action twice some times or two different actions can be logged with the same timestamp if done quickly.

Logging two different actions at the exact same time shouldn't be an issue so long as the database has a unique constraint on user, activity type, and timestamp.

At any rate, creating a subquery of distinct values and then performing your aggregate functions on the subquery should eliminate the dupes.

>>14565053

>Logging two different actions at the exact same time shouldn't be an issue so long as the database has a unique constraint on user, activity type, and timestamp.

Ignore that. It's theoretically possible for the same mod to ban two different users in the same millisecond. I guess I should have said UPK on log text

>>14565063

That's what is happening, assuming the website isn't logging stuff twice, sometimes the same type of action is done twice in succession and also quickly enough that the same timestamp will be registered, it's practically a duplicate entry.

>>14565079

Whatever is happening, the web version of the log seems to know how to iron out those kinks

>>14565100

Well, thanks for also doing this, I wouldn't know I had this problem otherwise.
