Since Mark is so fond of generals as of late, let's add
another one to the pile then.
Current points of discussion:
Unresolved:
- Amount of generals (There is of course generals that have a purpose, too).
– Is gacha shit vidya and do we need two of those threads? And if we do, does that mean that
each and every VN can have its own general like KS does right now despite a VN general existing?
- Threads that (ab)use /v/ as personal gathering spot because they're not wanted anywhere else.
– 4am and Waifu threads would be the prime example of this as of right now.
- Current hotpocket team.
- (((Mark)))'s stance on / his way of dealing with things like reports and bans.
Last Meta thread we learned that there was issues with the report queue and the vols dealing with it.
- Cuckchan plague and how calling everyone and everything cuckchan doesn't bring results.
- Low effort OPs and (1) and done threads.
As of late I have counted about 31 threads that claim to be generals while excluding this thread for now.
6 of them I have crossed out because they have not persisted more than 1-2 threads.
There was more of those, but there's no reason to pile them up if they were shitpost threads anyway.
We can talk about the griefing "general" that had several threads but which did not claim to be generals.
So in total 25 general threads have persisted and continued until today.
I'd like to know from anons whether this is the direction they want to move towards
in the future or if that's getting out of hand.
Please reply to my next post if you have issues and topics for the next Meta General.
I will add them to the pile and remove the resolved issues which, as we all are well aware,
won't be any time soon.

>- Amount of generals (There is of course generals that have a purpose, too).
My biggest personal issue. I won't even claim there's no reason why they usually hog the first few pages - they're simply more active than other threads because a "dedicated" (so to speak) group of posters regularly posts in them, as it's a popular video game/franchise/genre or whatnot.
At the same time, the generals more than often create some sort of isolated "island communities" and you can't really join the discussion if you're not in the know with their respective topic. At the same time, non-general threads typically are pushed from the front page quite quickly because they don't have a group of five or more people that keep the thread up with their conversation.
Thing is: I still remember when generals were banned back on Cuckchan and moved to /vg/ instead. This a) naturally divided the board userbase (which was less of an issue on cuckchan /v/ but could cripple fullchan /v/'s PPH and b) caused the "good" threads (again, so to speak) to simply be buried under template threads and shitposting instead.

I honestly don't think more pages are going to solve it when we already have twelve. The issue's not that threads are bumped off the board (that usually takes multiple days even in threads that get little to no replies), but more that people can't be arsed to wade through several dozen different threads in order to find one they like. Even the search function only is of limited use in that case.
>lower bump limit?
That actually might be an interesting option. I mean, the people who visit general threads will know where to find them anyway/ make new ones as soon as the old one may fall of the board, so it wouldn't really hurt them.
>>14592666
The problem is not that the total amount of general threads, but that they consistently hog the front page. With the average Anon's attention span (and inability to use the search function), this means that other threads which drop below page 4 will basically never see the light of day again.

I never fucking understood all the hate that generals get, and this is coming from someone who almost never participates in generals. The last one I did post in was the Xenoblade general and i only asked a few questions. If a general persists that means there are active anons talking about the game and usually its 20+ IDs. What is the big issue here? Plus, if a general has discussion it stays afloat, while ones people dont give a shit about usually die after 2 or 3. The biggest problem are one and dones and crossposting shit threads.

Why would you go into a thread about something you dont know anything about and shit it up?

This isn't what we said in the last thread. People spam one-word reports in the queue, and there is at least one but likely more than one really dedicated spammer who clicks on nearly every single post he sees and reports it for being Reddit, or spam, or whatever, regardless of whether it is or not. It's tough and time-consuming to sort through it all, and while that is definitely part of the "job" it makes it difficult to see who's reporting things that actually break the rules versus who's just reporting things they dislike or don't agree with

If by gacha shit you mean Grandblue, it's video games and you're just going to have to deal with that. Katawa Shoujo general came out of nowhere and I predict it's going away fast as well. Being an old game that has had countless generals back in cuckchan it really should just be discussed in the VN general, but we let the OP take the hint.

I will counter this by saying there are no issues. Someone else can say otherwise if they feel that way.

I have a few suggestions on how to alleviate some of the stresses on the board.
>Either allow a meta general, create a cyclical and update the OP every now and again, or set up a consistent schedule for meta threads
Cries falling on deaf ears is worse than cries being heard and rejected.
>Update the rules page to include definitions of keywords as to reduce moderation oversight
This would add an additional layer of consistency in order to allow vols and Mark to successfully determine what is and isn't rule breaking other than what they say is at any given moment
>reinstate the soft ban on waifu threads and add a special provision in the rules page
Another method to reduce the inconsistencies in moderation, and uphold previous rulings unless otherwise specified.
>remove threads that either A. Do not contain discussion on the topic AND B. the OP doesn't actively converse in
This can put a limit on the amount of terrible threads that are created, thus increasing board quality. This also helps reduce the shill campaigns like with the recent influx of fortnite threads containing the same template.
>Re-institute the mantra of /v/ in regards to several generals, such as the webm general
Having a webm thread that mostly contains nothing related to vidya when the mantra of /v/ is "/v/ is a board for discussing games and gaming culture" is deleterious to the health of the board.
>Do not ignore reports
I understand that some anons spam the reports, however, all reports should be treated equally.
4bbbf2 No.14592824
>>14592770
>Also there is no purpose to this rule, besides hiding feredback. Make a fucking cyclic meta thread already.
Vols already have enough on their plate handling the new rules on the webm thread and the existing shitting up of the board. At least one would have to constantly monitor a meta cyclic and then mark would need to be 'debriefed' on what had already disappeared from the thread (everything after 300 posts would start to be deleted see) and respond to it all every day so he'd hardly have time to look at the rest of the board. Permanent meta threads work on slower boards like /tg/ and /k/ but that's an entirely different situation. I'd suggest a meta board for /v/ that was controlled by a neutral party but such things have been tried in the past and they always fail.

There isn't any /v/ OC in the webm threads. It's gone past the point of no return as the webm autist pointed out in the previous thread.

Then let me phrase it this way.
When would generals be an issue and what is the stance on making generals right now?
Generals themselves are of course threads with potential to be worthwhile, but are all of the current generals worthwhile?
An anon pointed out already how 4am makes use of /v/ to blogpost every day instead of moving because vols and Mark are sitting by idly.

Regarding webm threads
It was never decided that we would be changing webm threads radically, or banning them off the board. Anons complained about offtopic webm spam in the webm threads, which was true. We talked about it and agreed that offtopic webms are fine, but there needs to be more video games, video game webms shouldn't be swamped by offtopic flood posting. All of this offtopic webm posting makes even less sense when it's the same shit every thread. What do you guys think about a cyclical webm thread?

It would alleviate the stress if there's proper definitions of keywords for rules in the rules page.

That is to say, we don't really care as long as it's video games. If a general thread becomes cancer then we do something about it (see waifu threads).

I still know next to every single waifufag from the last threads by their "names", too.
Yurifag, Yangfag, Junkofag etc.
Where does that get us in terms of avatarfagging, though? Does it simply not count because it's waifus? Because that's just what Ritsu did to be called Ritsu after all.
Of course he went on to tripfag and name his images after himself but that came after rule 8's addition.

Yeh it wasn't a bad one I'm just saying that on further reflection once weekly solves all the issues at a fraction of the cost and risk. Monday as I said makes most sense since then the not-quite-vidya threads are equally spaced and the glut of webms from the gamenights should start off the thread with gameplay.

GG threads stopped being about GG and its the same posts over and over again, its basically a circlejerk. Did many of the anons here come because of GG? Yes, but the movement is over now and its basically just a bunch of fags on fucking twitter of all places. Theres a ton of avatarfagging too like fucking Acid Man and Asuka.
GG is fucking dead and the only time it comes back is if some retard journalist brings it up. That thread in my opinion is what lets in fucking reddit and twitter onto this board.

Generals aren't necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes instead of discussing eg, just Morrowind, it can be useful to include all TES games in the discussion. This is useful for less popular games/genres. It's also necessary for not vidya, but related topics, such as modding, or what have you. /agdg/ falls into this group.
Personally, I aggressively hide threads that are lazy or unappealing. At any given time, I have 10 or fewer threads in the catalog and I can find new ones very quickly since there are only a handful to look through.
The last few days on /v/ have actually felt pretty good. I bounce between here, /pol/, /tg/, /fur/, and /vg/. There were a few happenings this week (YT shooting) so I think a lot of the shills and shitposters fucked off to distract from more poignant topics.
TLDR: /v/ can see an improvement in quality if Mark aggressively bans shitposters and those that drop board quality. I know it's more work, but why not hand out heavy bans and let them appeal it (most cases). You can check the post history, too.
