/v/ - Video Games

something tells me none of this is true and you're just a faggot, my proof is instead of making a video game thread you made a thread to cry about this board. I can only speak for /v/, but /v/ has been this way since two weeks after its inception. After everyone got over their initial shyness it devolved into 2014 era cuckchan behavior. It changed into its own style of post-2014 cuckchan behavior whereas cuckchan no doubt took its own route, but it's still fermented from the same rotten soul.

This place was never good and you're a faggot if you think it's getting worse now.

>>14689063

You're both right and wrong.

The boards he points out are indeed bad. Just because he's not making a videogame thread doesn't mean he's wrong.

The part where you say the place was never good is right. Maybe it was a little less bad before.

>>14689071

It was absolutely less bad before. Not a day goes by that i dont see a thread thats first 25 comments are 20+ american psycho images from people desperately trying to fit in. When the board was supposed to be a place to talk about videogames free of hiveminds chasing wrongthink and triggered snowflakes that has not been the case for a while now and it IS getting worse.

But you always get the 'i-it was always this bad!' and my traditional reaction is always 'for the week you have been here?' with these fuckers because otherwise they are straight up lying just to be the "t-this is fine!" guy sitting in a burning room pretending nothing is wrong when something is fucked.

>>14689071

being nostalgic for two weeks (relatively speaking, for most I imagine it's less) and bitching about it 4 years later is just retarded. I use /a/ and /v/ and they're perfectly fine if you know what you're doing. If you don't, you're the OP and you're bound to get shit on, not get the discussion you want, and be baffled and confused. If OP wants to know what's wrong, he would link to problem threads, but instead relying on vague posturing and will likely use a handful of shitpost threads like those retarded jerky ones as if we haven't had numerous shit threads for years.

>>14689087

>I use /a/ and /v/ and they're perfectly fine if you know what you're doing.

Jesus.

Yes, if you narrow down your objectives and only specifically aim to get what the boards are good for, you'll get that. That's like saying Tumblr isn't bad because if you want social justice, you'll get it here. The truth is, /a/ will never talk about certain things and will indeed be petty as fuck and dwelve on flavor of the month shit mostly, even if you can decent discussion at times. It's always been this way and will never change. It was like this back in cuckchan.

>>14689098

What are you having trouble talking about?

> It was like this back in cuckchan.

now you're getting it. Image boards established acceptable topics and formats long ago. You sound like someone who would be baffled by the mention of "we."

And here is the exact moment OP is exposed as a huge faggot.

>>>/a/798689

>>>/a/811669

Cuck/a/ has banished all discussion about the Wixoss card game and pushed that into the /jp/ ghetto that didn't want it either..

>>14689098

/a/ is not just a clone of post 2008 half/a/ but also has its insane transvestite moderator that will give 3 day bans for badmouthing 'xhi's' favourite series like Tokyo Ghoul.

/v/ isn't that bad from a staffing point yet but it is leaning more and more to "i can't be arsed to actually deal with certain subjects so any mention of console will be a console war ban" type stuff though that could just be bone idle mods and not legitimate crazy people given the reins of a board.

But /v/ was always my go to but if i want to talk about videogames /v/ is less and less the go to to do it because more often than not you no longer can. Unless its 5 hivemind approved games everyone is a shill that needs to go back to cuckchan and seeing the board turn into autistic parrots that hate videogame discussion just makes the place seem pointless.

inb4 "dont like it dont use it" and yeah, thats the problem. 9 times out of 10 /tg/ is a better place to talk about shit /v/ used to because its the only board i can find not turned into a parody of its purpose.

>>14689105

>now you're getting it.

In what part did I not get it? Just because it's been like this traditionally doesn't mean the tradition is good. It's always been shit. It's not a recent development, yes. It's shit now because it's been shit since its inception.

Go to a game thread, report and filter the derailers, and keep talking about the game.

>>14689112

Yep, that's the real board culture, the essence of it. The unchangeable part of a boards identity that is either embraced or the source of your ostracization, the framework you learn to work within in order to make anything happen.

>>14689116

it's incredible but it works at least half the time. Amazing, huh?

>>14689111

>but also has its insane transvestite moderator

Christ how fucking stupid are you?

>>14689111

>if i want to talk about videogames /v/ is less and less the go to to do it because more often than not you no longer can.

I'm assuming you mean talk about anything in a positive light. You can still shit on pretty much anything except for Doom.

And you can praise games but they have to be decently old. I think anything up to PS2 era won't get you called a shill.

Look at all the threads about anime and the ones about no anime at all. Are you sure you don't suck dicks, OP? I am not that certain, because I think that you are not only a liar but also one of those fags who chimped out over Sakura fish. The crossdressing moderator is gone and has been replace by Tenicu. The tranny mod thing is a lie as well. How much dick cheese from other men's dongs have consumed today, OP?

b-but there's no cowboy beep boop threads, I wanna talk about spike spangled banner

>>14689117

Yes, and you can work around the framework but there are things you simply cannot do. For example, you'll never ever see a thread about Overwatch here, which I'm glad for, really, since I hated general threads for shitty videogames in cuckchan, which happened even in pre-GG era. But I also wish there was more freedom of expression here. I would prefer it if the fuckers wished to talk about Overwatch and got laughed out of the room instead of being forbidden from doing so entirely.

As it is currently used, moderation is a replacement for a good enough community. A good enough community doesn't need moderation because it'll always be good. Moderation would just get in the way. As it is now, mods are "needed" because people talk about shit and other people jump in to talk about shit as well. If the community was good enough, those people talking about shit wouldn't get replies in the first place.

>>14689130

Now thats a blatant historical revision as well. They got laughed out of the room with the same methods Undertale circlejerkers have been. Why do you think we came up with Sansposting?

>>14689128

I agree even if she's pretty shallow, she's cute and that's OK. Also if you are uncomfortable playing the game keep going because you are weak and need the work out.

>>14689130

What you are wishing for already happened, it sounds like you missed it. There were recurring Overwatch threads until the players either left or stopped talking about it. People not expressing themselves is a concern of mine too, and I encourage everyone to make threads about whatever game or subject related to games they want whenever they want. I personally feel that it's OK for topics to hibernate for even years at a time.

I agree, the community here is stupid and eager to change subjects on a whim in threads it doesn't belong in. Learn to direct them.

>>14689140

I see. That's good, then. Sounds like I missed it.

It's not done with everything, though. I saw annoying OPs for Kawata Shoujo being shadow bumplocked.

>>14689142

Found the plebbitor. Visible bumplocks/autosage are recent addition to infinity. Every other software doesn't have it.

>>14689142

bump locks are now visible and an OP often determines the direction of a thread. Look at the scalper thread where the OP acted like an edgy retard and the thread was flooded with some hilarious satirical stories mocking how stupid the OP was. He attempted to save face but was practically laughed out of the room. The OP set the tone from the moment the submit button was hit and no doubt he learned a lesson about his own fuck up making the thread.

Reminder it's just a couple of faggots posting "this board is dead" on every popular board.

>>14689151

I remember seeing bumplocks before, I thought mods were given the option to hide them. Was there seriously no anchor icon before?

We don't need any more contrived arbitrary moderation, thank you.

Most of what you're complaining about has always been problems. That's proof enough to me that it's still very much alive. Ironically enough, some fag bitching "8chan is dying!" Is proof as well.

>>14689237

It's an automated moderation bot if I'm not mistaken.

So it's not really "their mod did this".

You just only get to post there if your grammar is correct.

>>14689280

If it was an autoban it'd say "Autobanned per #11". That's a real mod

t. /ameta/ shitposter

>>14689460

This is accurate.

/v/ is always split almost exactly 50/50.

Often metafags think they're all agreeing with each other because they're focusing on their shared hatred for Mark, but when they actually listen to each other's complaints, they realize they want completely different and opposite things for /v/. This surfaces almost every single time someone tries to make a new board or move elsewhere. They'll have a meta thread and demand opposite things from the other BO. Then that BO either tries to appease both sides and ends up with almost the exact same rules as on /v/, or he panders to one side and the board is either a shithole or overly strict and overmoderated.

>/v/edditor kiddie has a sore ass

Ha!

find alternatives to your boards

make your own peace

settle your soul now before you're thrown into eternal turmoil, but remember

the ride never ends

>/v/ week by week /v/ gets increasingly worse to talk about videogames and just becomes a board that sage bombs anything that isn't videogame dev drama like a fucking gossip forum

I haven't had this issue at all, also report these cunts. Believe it or not hot pockets are very responsive to reports.

Here's a super cool effort post about this issue. I am not even sorry for the late reply to your shit. While you were busy having autism, I had some work to do. What you are bitching is neither contrived moderation nor balls to walls censorship, but quality control. This all what is bugging you; The community not wanting faggots shitting up their board with low effort posts or threads about stuff they have already discussed a million. The alternative if you had your way would be cuck/vg/ with 10000 Katagawa Shoujo threads and generals that are filled with stupid drama, either because one of the participants is a huge faggot or nobody is actually playing the game (which would definitely the case with Overwatch, because 80% of this place would be banned from that one). Do I have to remind you, that /vg/ was crutch to get all those useless off of cuck/v/ or is it the first time you read that? At the beginning of this very board, Mark and the users decided to put in more measures for quality control. First the ban on template threads to get and second the abolition of the /v/ hates video games meme. Both worked very good so far and the stupid threads against games that are considered good or even classics here that are made to replace console wars won't change that. Shitposting Soyack, because you don't like Nintendo and think Mark is defending them won't make you less of a faggot. It makes you a gigantic faggot. I got that; You want to replace the old community by acting as gay as possible. Hiroshima didn't want you unless you pay so you came here. Since you think, that this place has to be as shit as halfchan or otherwise it doesn't deserve to be called /v/, you don't like this place either and attempt to destroy it with your stupid meta whining. Anyone who derails a thread over Mark should be lined up on a wall and then shot.

Now I come to /a/ specifically. Back when Halfcuck started to deteriorate, /a/ saw what happened to /v/ and got hammered from the outside and the inside with garbage. There were autists going trying to destroy shit threads with flooders for fuck's sake! This is why it prefers strict moderation combined with a hefty dose of bullying and the need to lurk more instead of getting spoonfed. A board that let anyone enter is worthless to the typical /a/utist. Going around and telling everybody how threads about anime outside of the season aren't allowed or that the BO is a tranny, because you have failed to follow the rules from the sticky, is the height of ribaldry. Just go fuck yourself!

>>14689157

No. Everyone can see how new you are from that statement alone.

>>14689051

>Why is every board on this site turning to shit? have the goons won?

Mark is well past his gas-by date.

Jesus its full of grammar mistakes. here's a fix and a expansion.

This would definitely be the case with Overwatch, because 80% of this place would be banned from that one. Haven't you heard? Overwatch bans you for wrongthink outside of Overwatch.

The problem wasn't, that there are rules. The problem was, that halfcuck's enforcement of said rules are everything we said they are and not fair. Rule enforcement and leadership were actually based on what moot felt at the time if he was around. At the times he wasn't there, it was guess work according to 2 or 3 principles Alternative and RapeApe assured. The worst aspect of that all, that 4chan's rules are hardcoded into the software. If you ever wondered, why halfcuck never spontaneously adapts to new pressures, here you have it; They would have to update Yotsuba again. There is a external website that collects cuckchan bans and all shit templates threads are banned for not vidya, not because they are shit. Internal affairs are much better on Jimbo's pigfarm. Whether you like it or not, doesn't matter. Halfcucks governance is objectively shit! That moderation is still totally arbitrary can be admired on a certain board about a certain leak. Whenever a scandal breaks out there, we are the board to go for some people, because in contrary to Janny, we are not total dicks. The complaints we get to read are sometimes decorated with screen caps showing the Janitor the person spoke to acting like a huge asshole and insulting the Anon.
